| Class Will by: Billy Dyer | We, the Senior Class of 1936, being mentally balanced, physically straight and wishing to dispose of a few of the trinkets gathered during our childhood days, do make and publish this, our last will and testament, hereby making void all wills of any former timer. At first, we do direct that our final rites be conducted by our dear friends, with Mr. Kreger, our principal, directing the services and with all the pomp and ceremony to which we are entitled. As to such belongings, we dispose of same as follows, viz: |
1. To our esteemed masters, the Purdy faculty, we will the right to issue our excess demerits to those who deserve them. 2. To our closest competitors, the Juniors, we will our study hall seats and the right to place their gum on them (unless Albert discovers this fact). 3. The following is a list of personals: Regna Grace Aabel wills her modest manners to Nadine Gray. Daniel Atnip, Junior wills his inferiority complex to Kenneth Noll. Ruby Blankenship wills hr dramatic ability to Lois Marlow. Billy Dyer wills his melodious giggle to Ruel Noll, with this request: It must be kept at the same pitch and not to get near Miss Kelly while practicing. Carl Edwards bequests his giant and muscular form to Junior Morlan. Cornell Evans wills his spectacles to Austin Roller, hoping Austin can see better. Clyde Farmer wills his nick-name “Bess” and the manner of acquiring it to Wayne Lowery. Herbert Henderson wills his ability to flirt with the girls to George Roller. Helen Linebarger wills that loving disposition to Ruth Edwards. Erman Henson wills a row of books in the library which he purchased during his Freshman year, paying fines, etc., and the north glass in the library which he purchased in the Senior year, to P.H.S. Joe Mathis wills his ability to make good in English V to Oliver Keeling. Al T. Nichols wills his shyness around girls to Ersmond Swaffar. Cyntha Ozbun wills her coquettish habits to Ruth Taylor. Pearl Rehwinkle and Mildred Roller will their habit of sitting together and laughing, in Mr. Kreger’s study hall to Nadine Higgs and Nadine Taylor. Cletus Swaffar wills her place in the commerce room to made Dinkins. Bert weeks, Floyd Whitney and Earl Rehwinkle (last but note least) will their habit of making notes for tests to Doyl Shepherd. We trust that these bequests will be sued at the best opportunities of the heirs to whom they are assigned. Finally we as a class leave our good points, our pleasing personalities and our initials on the gym to the future Senior classes. We sincerely hope that these classes will always hold our names in reverence and always endeavor to follow in our footsteps. In Witness Whereof: We, the Class of 1936, do set our hand and seal to this our last will and testament, on this 24th day of April, one thousand nine hundred and thirty-six. |
