LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE
CLASS OF 1928
(Continued From Page 4)
To the whole student body we leave the
sound of the rising hell with its musical
notes, the biting winds which strike one on
winter days between Packard and Morgan,
the great and glorious privilege of going to
the laundry at 5:00 A. M. through the rain
and snow, through the heat and the cold,
our voracious appetites for the delicious
meals in the big dining room, the pleasant
^thoughts which we had on entering a class
when our books had not been opened, the
joy that we experienced on changing classes
to find ourselves suddenly in a shower of
rain, umbrellaless, rain-coatless, and hatless,
the beauty of the campus with its stately
trees, -winding walks, green grass, lovely
buildings, sweet flowers and a host of other
things, our loyalty to Spelman, our wish that
you be happy in the years to come, our de
sire to help the administration in making
this a bigger and a better Spelman.
To this end we do hereby give, devise
and bequeath in such manner as shall be
hereafter provided such articles as are to be
mentioned, anon.
1. Lillie Sirmans bequeaths her flapper-
ism to Frances Callier.
2. Dorothy Roberts bequeaths her athlet
ic ability to Beatrice Tucker.
3. Folia Butler bequeaths her scanty ap
petite to Samantha Howard.
4. Nannie Gadson bequeaths the space be
tween Morehouse Hall and Miss Neptune’s
room and the tracks and trips there
on which she has made as editor of the
Campus Mirror to the new editor, Julia Pate.
5. Jeannette Hicks bequeaths to Gaston
Bradford her liking for bananas and directs
that she shall watch the papers each Sat
urday for banana sales at 12 cents per dozen
so that she may buy at least a dozen at each
sale. In addition to this she is directed to
buy banana candy each time she goes down
town. She must also cut out all pictures of
bananas and send them to 1245 Banana Ave
nue.
We bequeath to the class of 1929 our abili
ty to accomplish something without boast
ing about it a year before the thing actually
happens, the ability to mind one’s own busi
ness, the privilege of occupying the Senior
seats in chapel, the privilege of going out
in the city to spend the day whenever you
can get permission, the privilege of leading
the line on time when you suddenly dis
cover at the last bell that there are about
ten white ravelings and a bale of lint on
your gown, the privilege of appearing wise
when you are dumb, the privilege of feeling
a shiver of delight move up and down the
spinal column when a Junior, Sophomore or
Freshman holds the door open for you. And
last, but not least, we bequeath to you our
caps and gowns—the symbols of our dignity,
leadership and intelligence.
To the class of 1930 we bequeath our
ability to play Schlag ball, our musings dur
ing the morning music, our ingenuity in
putting things over even at the eleventh hour,
our sympathy for you in Miss Jenson’s
course in Economics when you are required
♦ o write marginal utility, mint value of mon
ey versus market values and problems in
comparative cost, the heated debates in So-
c’ology about marriage and crime and prob
lems in education. We appoint you, dear
sisters, as guardians of our class colors and
the owl our class emblem, our most sacred
relics in trust for the class of 1932.
To the class of 1931 we bequeath the
thoughts which are produced under the glow
of a lovely moon beneath Georgia skies, the
song of the blue jay, our A’s and F’s. We
bequeath also this key which will unlock
the doors of folly and wisdom through which
you must go to reach the sublime height
which we have attained. This key unlocks
the door to Miss Roudabush’s F’s in Eng
lish Literature, Miss Taylor’s themes in Eth
ics, the ability to filibuster in Miss Nabrit’s
United States History when a date is asked
or to be able to tell who is the president
of Milledgeville.
We hereby appoint Dean Carpenter as ex
ecutor of this, our will, and direct that she
deposit an ounce of Coty’s most expensive
perfume for each class in the Treasurer’s
office as guaranty of carrying out said in
structions.
In witness whereof we have hereunto af
fixed our hand and seal on this 4th day of
June, in the year of our Lord one thousand
nine hundred and twenty-eight.
CLASS OF 1928 (Seal)
Witness, President F. M. Read, Dean M.
F. Carpenter.
Announcement has been made of the ap
pointment of Miss Ruth Smith as teacher of
English in Spelman High School. Miss Smith
was graduated from the College of Empo
ria, Emporia, Kansas, in 1924. She taught
English for one year in Howard, Kansas,
and for two years in Barber Memorial Col
lege, Anniston, Alabama. During the cur
rent year she has been doing graduate work
at Teachers College in Columbia University
and expects to receive the degree of Master
of Arts from Teachers College in June. Her
home is in San Diego, California.
Student Excited: Oh! just look how that
great flame is leaping upward. I can’t stand—
Nearby Listener (Interrupted) : Well, sit
down then.
Older Sister: May, I am surprised at your
showing such temper.
May: Well, I have as much right to a tem
per as you have to ter-ri-ble nerves.
Spelman Girl: Yes, I know I should, but
it’s really hard to say good-bye to your guest
as soon as the bell rings.
Second Speaker : When company stays too
long just treat them like home folks, and
they’ll soon beat it.
