To All
Whom It May Concern
WITNESS THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE CLASS OF
1915, OF HUTCHINSON HIGH SCHOOL.
Believing that on
a day in the near future, the powers that be, will put an end to the class
of 1915 as an organization of Hutchinson High School; and desiring to so
leave our affairs that peace and concord, rather than disputes and vain
quarrelings may reign, we make this our last will and testament.
Whatever of glory
or honor we may have earned during our four years of toll in H. H.
S., we bequeath with pleasure to the school. For we leave our dead
old school; and our wish concerning her is, "May her days upon this earth
be long and prosperous, and may she become great among schools, and be
known as the home of honor, and the mother of great men."
That most
beautiful of all pennants, the Red and white, which hangs (?) upon the
chapel wall, we also bequeath to the school. Let it hang in honor,
let no desecrating hand touch it and let each and every one, who beholds
it, remember with gratitude and reverence the Class of 1915.
To the Class of
1916, unless there is some dispensation of providence to the contrary, we
give the privilege of occupying the front seats in assembly.
The quarrelsome
nature of the class, a thing common to all Senior classed, we bequeath to
our successors.
The toga of our
inherent dignity, though well worn and somewhat threadbare, we leave to
the present Juniors.
The Senior Class
bequeaths to the prospective Seniors, their places at the Junior-Senior
banquet table.
Being severally
and individually desirous of being remembered by the members of the Junior
class, we individually leave a token for a sign of remembrance in after
years.
Esther Foree leaves a furnished hope chest to Walter Carey.
All Walter now needs is a cook.
Wallace Blair leaves his pipe to Allen
McCandless. Jake is the only Junior possessed of sufficient
experience to undertake the task of subduing so strong a creature.
Chauncey
Yeoman wills his grades in English to Lucy Caplinger.
Fred Preble
leaves his copious vocabulary to Lucile Cost. Lucile's list of
accomplishments is not complete, and, after a year's practice with this,
she should be able to capture any man.
Bee Palmer bequeaths her dolls to
Ellis Ellsworth. Ellis, having played several years of football,
will need some harmless toys to amuse him.
Freda Leonard bequeaths to
Ralph Sentney, the bewitching and magnetic powers of those big brown eyes.
This is all Ralph lacks in order to be a perfect "lady-killer."
Mildred
Hagan wills her rat to Dorothy Oldham. Dot will begin to want one
some of these days, and the old one is not big enough for Mildred.
Earl
Knieper, having nothing else in common with the class, voted with them to
give him either to Aileen Smith or Fanny Teare.
Hazel Shane wills to Ernest
Nelson, the ruler with which she measures the feet of her poetry.
Willie Stewart leaves his stand-in with the Faculty to Phyllis Obee.
Lawson
May wills his Virgil pony to Herbert Hanna, for use in future track work.
Hubert Giles wills his melodious laugh to Marguerite Nelson.
Marguerite is a quiet little girl who scarcely laughs, and "Much quiet is
not good for the soul."
Neva Webster bequeaths her eloquence to Rhea Dively.
This, with Rhea's already brilliant mind, should make a strong combination.
Dales Ghormley leaves his book on "Silly Questions and Cross Answers" to
Frances Petro. There is nothing like said questions for breaking the
monotony of class routine.
Vera Gano, showing her customary benevolence,
gives three-fourths of her History grade to Hazel Sluder, and to Harry
Faris two-thirds of her Math. grade.
Don Shaffer surrenders his
monopoly of the system of dispensing hot air, perfected by him, to the
public in genetal. We hope there never again will be a monopoly of
this commodity.
Gertrude White bequeaths her Rooseveltian smile to Spec.
Stevens. Young man, make use of it, and let your light shine that
you may obtain for yourself such a reputation as becomes a Senior.
All these things,
the class of 1915, collectively and individually wills to the above
mentioned heirs. If any person or persons have a superior claim to
any of the said bequests, let him present that claim before the time when
the class of 1915 shall be no more.
