R lass Will il I , We, thefclass of 1920, of the Barstow Union High School.ofl the cityof Barstow, the metropolis of that extensive arid portion ofthe county of San Bernardino, known by the appellation of the Mojave Desert of the Golden State of California, being. about to abandon, desert, and take our final departure from its illustrious halls of .. learning, do will and bequeath in the manner ensuing, to-wit: ' Firstly. To our beloved faculty-one so unparalleled, ir- resistible and matchless, who despite their persistency in chas- tising us for our weariness during recitations, which languor was caused by the indispensable lessons 'alloted by said in- structors,-we the class of 1920 relegate and relinquish our in- - most good wishes and our fervid affection, our most pro- found gratitude for occasional encouraging words for our strenuous endeavors, and though we might wish the punish- ment meted out on occasions had been more gentle, we desire that said faculty do realize that we depart from their jurisf diction without rancor or umbrage. ' , ' Secondly: We do hereby transmit to all studentsof the Barstow Union High School whatsoever their station or de- gree, adopted umbrellas, ink wells, borrowed gymnasium suits, stray tennis racquets and balls, and all other articles of per- sonal property not hereinafter especially mentioned. , . Thirdly. We entrust our frail and fragile jitney buses to the considerate care of all characters whose destination is the A Barstow Union High School, on these conditions: That the riding capacity shall not exceed fifteen persons for an ordinary machine, and twenty for all 'cfordatoryu perambulators, and that a sufficient number of verdant Freshmen be therein to prevent combustibility, provided also that there shall be no imprudent impetuosity committed therein which might per- chance necessitate a disuse of said convenient conveyances. , Fourthly. To our erstwhile rivals but worthy successors, the illustrious class of 1921 we do hereby assign those greatly coveted back seats in the study hall. To 'them also fall the supreme prerogative of celebrating the annual Ditch Day, pro- vided they have the courage to suffergtheg consequences of op- DOS11'1g the wishes of our worthy professorfx Flfthly-I UH? gift of i'lOll1ffi'11g ' and science of 'istuffingw the latter of which in more common speaking, is Hcrammingw do we will to the most worthy Sophomoric class of 1922, along vnvlgtlh other priveleges associated with the title of upper class- lilf 1 fi - if - Page Twenty ,r J

I know I was thinking of lessons - And wondering what I could do, When I thought of one grand idea Of how I might bluff them through! 7 It affected my troubled spirit Like' drug 'does a nervous wreck, It lay on my troubled bosom I ' -And twined its arms 'round my neck. I It linked all unknown meanings Into one I could understand Then while my eyes were still gleaming V . It faded away from this land. I have sought, but I seek' it vainly 3 That one sweet comforting thought-' Which solved all my problems mainly, Q Oh! That one little thought-that is not! It may be at nine in the morning ' It may be at one P. M. . , I But I shall go into mourning, 'Til it comes to me again.
