19 Class Poem When the golden sun is blending With the crimson of the night, There is promise for the morrow That it will be fair and bright. So today we see the gleaming, Through regrets that we must part, Of the future filled with duty In the hopes that fill each heart. There’s a place for all to work for Him To follow or to lead, We hear these words from Christ, our guide, “Come! Workers strong, 1 need!” We go, dear school, and classmates dear, Our work with you is done, But if we’ve all been faithful here We ll meet at set of sun. These short years we’ve spent together In this school we love so well, Will remain ’mong sweetest mem’ries In our schooldays’ joyful spell. As we journey down life’s pathway Still our thoughts will turn away To the school still shining on the hill, Dear old W. W. A. We go forth with firm endeavor And a purpose ever true; We will have naught but perfection In whatever we may do. But though lands or seas may part us We will cherish, ever dear, Our beloved Alma Mater And her name we will revere. —V. May Libby. [21 ]

19 Class Will W E, the Senior Class of 1930, not acting under fear, fraud, menace, or influence of any person, and being sound in body and mind (notwithstanding strong evidence to the contrary), and being uncertain of life and still more uncertain of graduation, do hereby make, publish, assert, and declare this to be our last will and testament; whereby we distribute, bequeath, will, award, grant, and lavishly bestow and disburse all our possessions, worldly and otherwise, as follows- First: We, the Senior Class, leave to the dear faculty, who have instructed us in the wisdom of ages, a sweet and unbroken succession of restful nights and peaceful dreams. They need no longer worry over us. They have done their duty and they shall be recompensed accordingly. Again, we leave to our beloved faculty all the amazing knowledge and startling information we have furnished them from time to time in our examination papers. We leave to the Junior Class the privilege of filling our seats in the chapel and in the classrooms, also our positions of lofty dignity. We hope they will fill them as worthily as we have done. To the Sophomores we bequeath the right to all sidewalks and drinking fountains, but insist that they tip their hats to all Seniors. To the Freshmen we lavishly bestow our importance and conceit. And we enjoin all classes to follow us. Be of good courage and faint not. Next: Ted Davis leaves each darling little Freshman a darling little freckle. Hell have plenty left. Amy Jacobsen leaves her place in the store to anyone who can make it as interesting as she has by her smiles and winsome ways. Lewis Larson leaves his clarinet for “Dad” Aplington to use for a horn on his Chevrolet. Bessie Crow leaves her permanent because it has grown out. Ray Badgley leaves his place in Students Association meeting to anyone who can fill his place by doing most of the talking. Emily Morgan, although quite loathe to part with her talent, leaves her loquacious¬ ness to George Richardson. Harold Olson wills his height to Ethel Carpenter. Agnes Berge leaves the laundry to Peggy Benson in the hope that she will be able to keep the boys from being constant visitors. Harry and Austin leave their ability of imitating “Amos ’n’ Andy” to Mark Keltner and Theo daSilva. Sally Ann Herwick leaves her place on the honor roll to Naomi Griffin. Erling Lund wills his monopoly of “A s” in all lessons to Joe McConaughey. Ruth Hand leaves her dignity and height to Eileen Ingersoll. Hylda Green leaves her stenographic ability and hobby for making statements to lone Wood. May Libby leaves her ability to read to Louise Gronemyer. Celia Clark leaves her sister to fill her place. See if you can do it, Ruth. Esther Sanford leaves school in the hopes of not being teased any more. jean Brown bequeaths her love for bookkeeping to Rusty Cornell. Vernice Meyer leaves her quiet manner to Viola Julin. This we declare to be the last will and testament of the Senior Class, and hereby set our hand and seal this fifteenth day of May, anno domini 1930. Hylda Green. [ 20 ]
