THE ARSENAL CANNON 29 an innocent little boy that we feel he needs more education in that line. Niles Hiatt wills his superfluous avoirdupois to Mae Turner. Sara Frances Downs, our popular social lead- er, bequeaths her auburn hair and worn-out pink sunbonnet to lylarion Baden.

Velma Slack and Catherine lXlcCoy will their ability of getting dates with pretty boys to An- nette Van Sickle, and Emma hlueller whose sole ambition in life is to have one date at least. Robert Nipper, the boy wonder of Tech, be- queaths his career as a dumb-bell to Parks Gilmore. Harold Van Bussum's easy going and lan- guid manner is willed to James Day, for we have heard that at times James is quite rash and impetuous. Hubert Garrison requests that the close shave by which he gets through Tech be given to Ted Nichols. He says Ted's mustache seems to de- mand something of the sort. To Rolla Willy is left the valuable pitching arm of Carlyle Ewing. To Helena Sieloff, the laughing wonder , is given the frivolous yet impressive, smile of Richard VVilkins. The naturally rosy cheeks and complexion of June Cagwin are willed to Culasa Kinna- man, for with the high price of chemicals we fear that Culasa will go broke Sherwood Blue requests that his love for the ladies be given to hlorton Cox who, we fear, is a confirmed woman hater. Byron llioods, Noble Adams, Robert Schetter, lylartha Lukens, and other dumb-bells re- quest that their ignorance is bliss policy be locked in an air-tight case and be placed on ex- hibition at the Blind School. Harry Ice leaves his coolness to Morris Sel- vage. Jack Velsey, who wears corduroy trousers extremely belled, wills his false teeth to Frank VVilson so that Frank may use them, in his less active life, when he will have nothing to do but to satisfy his unequaled appetite. Glen Gray, the speed demon of Tech, will give Nlvallace Reid a little competition in the 500-mile race this year. Dick lNlills, a second Socrates, wills his ora- torical mind to Lee Vlioods. Shelby hlinter wills his vamping red Ford, which has broken many a fair lady's heart, to Robert Batchelor. The black bowl derby hat of Arthur Gest is given to Chester Peterson who will from now on be decorated with this distinguished nut-gar- mentf' George Van Dyke and Louis Steinmetz, two bookworms of Tech, will their spongy minds to hlargaret Rink. hlarcella Smith ls ability to use baby talk and childish actions for the pleasure of the boys is handed down to Virginia Patter.

Charles Goble's reputation as the cutest and wildest boy inTech we will to Frederick Sanders. Marybelle Baker bequeaths her literary abili- ty to Edwin Plum. Vernon Carlin and Harold Harris, two of our brightest students, desire that a few A-l-'s be given to Morris Selvage and Charles William- son. Bradley Haight, Tech's blushing rosew, wills his unassuming manner to Kathryn Pangle. To the future Choral Society is left the melo- dious but not harmonious voices of John Rohm, Charles Robertson, and Stewart Cline. Brewer Graham, Paxton Unger, and hlorris Greenburg, bequeath their athletic ability to future Techonians. Frances Gray wills her spirit and loyalty to all future Tech. lYith this mournful task completed, this, the will of the June Senior Class of 1922, is signed sealed, and published upon this seventh day of June, 1922.

As rung by rung we are building true, lVe know, dear Tech, there is none but you That could give us foundations so safe and strong, For our ladder of life that we travel on. Students will come-year after year- And honor our school which we hold so dear, But none more loyal and none more true To Tech, than her class ofjune, '22. Elva Goode.

28 THE ARSENAL CANNON not satisfied with just this, we started a street car courtesy campaign, the result of which has proved to the citizens of Indianapolis that our school traditions of courtesy are sincere. A number of our members were honored by appoi- ntments to the CANNON staff. These pupils have helped to make this a successful year for our paper, the supreme effort is the Decennial magazine number. During the fall semester, Sherwood Blue was editor of Staff I, Harold Van Bussum, editor of Staff I1 , Leonard Pearson, circulation manager, and Mary Black, co-editor-in-chiefof the January, 1922 magazine. During the spring semester, Hilda Smith was editor of Staff 1, Rebecca Pitts, assistant editor of Staff 1, Mary Black, editor of Staff H, Marybelle Baker, assistant editor of Staff 11, Leonard Pearson, business manager, Louis Fults, editor-in-chief of athletics, and Harold Van Bussum and Sherwood Blue, editors-in- chief of the June magazine number. These have been ably assisted in their literary work by Elsa Rottler, Jack Velsey, Harold Harris, Kenneth Hoagland, and James Bell. The horrors of facing the one-eyed monster, sometimes known as a camera, nearly proved too much for some of us, but after this ordeal we bravely celebrated Rose Day in spite of the attempts of the wind and rain to prevent us. At our second class meeting we were given the opportunity of estimating the genius of the nominees for the remaining offices. As a result of that election Al Knox became will maker, Dick lkffills and June Cagwin, prophets, and Charles Murphy, historian. HA Thousand Years Ago was given at the Murat, April 24, and was a play worthy of the tenth anniversary class of Tech. And so we have reached the end of our high school course. In a few days we shall leave, but in our final parting we look back at the January, 1923 class and say, To you we yield our place in Tech, to you we leave the duty of upholding her in every wayf' Charles Murphy.

The following may seem but trifiing bequests, but we hope they may be accepted, not as worth- less things carelessly given away, but as valu- able assets to those who may receive them.
