Lorraine Arndorfer leaves her stately pace to anyone desirous of becoming a general in the United States Army or a hasher in the State 's Cafe. Drusilla Caughlin, Betty Striet and Neva Olsen leave high school still wondering why they went. Rachel Clayton leaves her baby voice to Mr. Bonham so that the Freshmen will no longer think him dangerous and one of man-eating tendencies. ' John Knowles leaves l1is musical ability to Harold Martinek and urges him to apply it to that clarinet. Joe Sheppard leaves three feet of good substantial leg to Melvin Shiltz and hopes it will make a man of Melvin. Wayne Keith leaves for the country where he doesn't have to worry about Perry White and Gerald Hartshorn stealing his test tubes.

Mildred Ward leaves the high school, to follow her natural bent. I Julia Dearchs leaves to Miss Plaehn a book of Webster 's Phrases for Conversation , which will become her sole property in the event that she does not marry before she reaches the age of fifty-seven. In such event the book will become the sole property of Harry Bishop on reaching the age of twenty-one, providing l1e is still able to fool the insane commission. Richard Banwart leaves Bert Cronan stoking the furnace. Marion Rising leaves her latest novel, How to Hold a Husband, to Irene Pentecost, but warns her that she must not scare the victim.

Florence Seeman leaves school with a prayer in her heart, her books i11 her hand, and a marvelous collection of zeros on the records. Darold Newville leaves an excellent collection of Western Story magazines to Faris Miner and he sincerely hopes that Faris will be better able to keep them concealed behind his books than he has been.

With this and a little co-ordination of mind and body, together with a pair of roller skates, he should be a stellar forward next year. Dorothy Sampson leaves Kyle Keith holding nothing but his breath. Mary Harris leaves l1er place ill the Methodist choir to Gerald Steussy. Irene Mitchell leaves her knowledge of scientific formulas to Kenneth Frankl. If the boy ever becomes a Senior they will be a great asset in conquering the last obstacle. PART II We, the members of the Senior Class of the Algona High School, do here and now leave our seats bolted to the floor. We leave our physics grades in the Wastebasket. We hope that Mr. Huitt will some day teach another physics class so that its members may realize our past situation and accord due sympathy. It is said that humanity is punished but once. We leave the coming'Freshman Class in blissful ignorance of its future predicament. We loave the Sophomore to care for the Freshmen, and the Juniors to persecute the teachers. The members of the Senior Class with highest affection, leave to Mr. Huitt red Hanncl underwear to be worn during the next snow storm. PART III This testimonial, written this twellty-lllllllll day of May, nineteen hundred and twenty-ni11e, has been declared valid and in accordance with the laws of the State of Iowa, and signed in the presence of Rex Koepke and Miss Starbuck. all 1929 ll,- Page Thirty-one

4-l-- The Senior Magazine --livi- Class Will E, THE SENIOR CLASS of the Algeria High School, being of simple minds fso says Mr. Huittj do on this twenty-ninth day of May, nineteen hundred and twenty-nine, declare this to be our last will and testament, and do here and now revoke all other wills or beneficiary documents heretofore made. First let us set forth the personal bequests of the members of our illustrious class. PART I George Free Zllld Marie Paine, after due consideration and acting upon the advice of Milo Durant, do solemnly will and bequeath their mutual affection to Howard Butterfield and Jo Chubb. George solemnly promises to assist Howard in polishing his technique in case such action becomes necessary. Cowboy Seward leaves to Philip Arndorfer a brace of trusty grits which have served him well in fighting Indians and bank robbers, providing Philip will preserve his enviable record. Philip has taken a terrible load 011 his shoulders, as Cowboy has certainly slaughtered the Indians. Arthur Nordstrum leaves to Herb Joesting Nelson one pair of shifty football shoes which he sincerely hopes will aid the speedy Nelson in his ope11 field running. A John Fraser leaves his new billiard cue and one box of pool chalk to James Vipond, pro- viding that James will allow his brother Thomas to play with the cue immediately after the said Thomas becomes an AU student. The Reverend Perry A. White, known in certain circles as Buck , leaves to John Hargreaves a marvelous collection of demerits. At a meeting of the Senior Class it was decided that the aforementioned Buck White should leave his winning way with the teachers to Max Richardson. After due consultation with John Fox and Joe Jordan, Margaret Blossom has definitely decided to bestow her grades in English to Frieda Roeder. In the event that Frieda does not desire said English grades, they are to become the sole property of Eugene Pearson. Alice Kain and Sarah Neeling bequeath their excellent conversational ability to Hoyt Raney. The said Hoyt, if not desiring to be immediately executed, is here instructed to forget afore mentioned conversational ability immediately after receiving it. Red Green dedicates a large quantity of persistent fortitude to Nine Shackelford and challenges her to get by with it as he has done. Paul Geilenfeldt leaves one moustache to .Peter Chubb. We just know the moustache will tickle some deserving young lady someday. Alice Rist and Bernard Frankl leave Bernard's Ford Coupe to Carl Pearson and Mary Adams. Alice says 0116 car is all they can use at one time and the Chevrolet seems to be the better of the two. Frank Lathrop, after due consideration, has decided to leave his abundant supply of bluff to Lyle Runchey, providing that Lyle will keep it in his car to be used in case he should unexpectedly run out of gas. Marian McMahon leaves several copies of the Frivol to Miss Coate with the under- standing that Miss Coate will read them to her next Virgil class. Shirley Hill leaves her compact and curling iro11 to Elbe Van Dorston. We believe it was meant that Elbe should carry a compact and we do not want him coming to school any more with that beautiful wave fading. Zelba Winkie a11d Gladys Paetz leave two shorthand books to Paul Black and Harold Blinkman. As yet we have not discovered what the girls have against Paul and Harold. Magnus Lichter leaves his seat by the stove at Nick Maharas's shining parlor to Josephine Murtagh. Magnus says that she cannot use his charge account, however. Everett Anderson leaves to Miss Plaehn one package of doublemint chewing gum pro- viding that she will chew each stick for thirty seconds, after which act she will spit said gum in a certain specified wastebasket. This will probably place in her system a feeling of sym- pathy for those who are forced to eject from their mouths large quantities of gum at frequent intervals during her class. Eugene Stephenson leaves the high school with a prayer on his lips. Doris Long and Catherine McCall leave their dancing ability to Irwin Maleug and Lula Huenhold, but they encourage the couple to keep off the streets while rehearsing. Lawrence Misbaeh leaves the Algona High School and Mr. Huitt's physics class for the insane asylum. Mark Stanton leaves his book, How to Keep a Woman, to Harley Troutman, but warns Harley to comb his hair before using it.
