To the student body as a whole we leave the duty and privilege of perpetuating that good old A. C. H. S. spirit, which, if you would believe the pessimist, already has one foot in the grave. But as long as the football team can tie three of the strongest teams in the country, and the basketball team can lick the Park by 20 points, this spirit will never die. ARTICLE VI. .

To the ofhce mimeograph we leave the hope, however small, that it will receive more sympathy than it has heretofore from the senior history department. ARTICLE VIII.

THE 1931 SPHINX ARTICLE X. To Dwight Mallet we leave Tom Condon's ability to stop every play through his side of the line. ARTICLE XI. Helen Berthelsen's cheerleading pep to Dot Halberstadt. This, with the bequests she received from the class of 1929, and her own natural ability, ought to make a good cheerleader of her. ARTICLE XII. In keeping with Article IV., Section 2, we leave Cy Walts's and Saul Buc's football proclivities to no one. ARTICLE XIII. We leave Olga Biedron's Grecian profile to the statue of Dante in the southwest corner of the library. ARTICLE XIV. To Mandell Weiss we leave that special prerogative of Sam Buchman's, of using language which, in our grandmother's day, would have been shocking, to say the least. ARTICLE XV. To Virginia Fleck we leave that unerring instinct of Edith Robinson's, which enables her to tell the string from the B string nine times out of ten, and thereby play in the state orchestra. ARTICLE XVI. To Lillian Carter we leave our most heartfelt condolences for the loss she will suffer upon Harry Latour's graduation. It's the old, old story of the lass who loved a sailor. ARTICLE XVII. Howard Bangs leaves his perseverance to Bob Masterson. ARTICLE XVIII. We regret to state that we cannot leave Cy Walts' romantic propensities to anyone in this school because a certain young lady in Battin High School has a complete monopoly on them. ARTICLE XIX. Lest we forget: that famous motto: Gettysburg and Chautauqua, now and forever, one and inseparable, to the class of 1932. Witnesses: G. Freifeld, E. B. Rosecrans, S. Sterling, H. Hoeksema.
