Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-06-19

PENDENT OF SCHOOLS. Maltby were inclined to think 1t was due to overeating, Kirjassoff to too much sleep, Lawrence Phipps to oyerstudy, Ketchen to writer's cramp, Maloney to over-exertion, Jackson to talking overtime, Miss Healey to dreaming, Miss Brunt to nervous col lapse, Howard Phipps to a close shave, Phelan to anxiety, Miss Chap man to excessive mirth. Be that as it may, the class was slowly going the way of all things. 1t was approach ing dissolution. Expert authority was called in and again the long word was heard Kirschbaum, the Greek, translated it. The English translation was neither Biblical or Shakespearean. He was told to revise 1t and said the best he could give 1t was "swelled head"
 On this announcement there was a flutter of excitement and the class of 1907 prepared to draw up its last will and testament. A number of gifts were made to individuals in ad- vance, the enumeration oE which will not be found in the will. Among them were side combs, hair rib bons, empty cracker boxes, map books, jar, of lemons, and transla- tlons from Cicero.
 Although the will has not gone to probate, the maker not yet being a dead class" I shall read the docu- ment.
