At once the name recalled memories of m former classmate at dear old Central High School: but the subject of the lecture seemed so alien to the Dot Crockett I had known that I did not allow myself to hope of seeing her again. However. my curi- osity prevailed, and I planned to attend the lecture that evening. Leaving my hotel early, I arrived at the lecture hall in plenty of time to secure a seat near the platform. As soon as the lecturer carrie forward to speak, 1 immediately recog- nized my former schoolmate, and impatiently settled back in my seat to wait for the lecture, which, by the way, was very interesting and instructive. At the close of the program. I hurried for- ward to the platform to greet Dot, and, although we had much to talk about, my first question was, Dot, what on earth made you change your mind, and turn against the movies? Iler happ face clouded over with sadness and she replied dismally. It is a long, sad story, but I will tell you. You will he sur- mrised to learn that my former friend, Nancy llussell, was the cause of this change in at- titude. After we had graduated from college, Nan and I decided never to marry, but to live in a bungalow in the country, with a parrot and collie for com any. For several years we lived quietly and happily. Occasion- ally we went to a nearby village to the movies, and especially when Nan knew that William Boyd was billed to appear, for he was her favorite actor. One evening, being much impressed by his latest picture, when we returned from the village, she decidedto write him a letter in the rivacy of her own room. It was after midniglit when she had finished it, and she had mailed it before I was up in the moming. Several days later, Nancy went into ecstacy over a personal reply, and from that time, began a regular correspondence, which, to make a long story short, culminated in one of Hollywood's most brilliant weddings. Many distinguished personages and beauti- ful movie stars attended the ceremony, and after a large reception, the happy couple left on a round-the-world trip. Nancy had deserted me for a movie star! I was hurt but I determined to help people profit by my disillusions: so that is why I am ecturing against the movies. ISOBEL SMITH -Q CII 9.

THE BLUE AND WHITE Will of the Class of 19295 We, the Class of 19295, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and thirty, of the foundation of Central High School, the eighty-eighth, and of the rule of William the first the twentieth, being in full and com- lete possession of our faculties of mind and iiody, yet considering the uncertainties of this life and the propinquity of the next, do hereby declare, asseverate, and proclaim this document to be our last will and testament. Article I: We hereby appoint Miss Kingsley and Miss Murphy as our legal ex- ecutors. All provisions, as herein stipulated, are by them to be duly executed. Article I I : Art. Lanckton, our handsome, strong-hearted class president, the perfect politician, able, honest, and fearless-leaves to Stewie King his popularity and his ability to get out the feminine vote. Article III: Mr. Robert Steup, eminent scholar and athlete, who has formed many delightful acquaintanceships among our fac- ulty during an all too brief stay of four and one half years, sorrowfully leaves Central to pursue eagerly the course of higher learning in some institution where he will be received with open arms as a brilliant thinker, at a time when all too many entrants are in- fluenced towards the pigskin rather than the sheepskin. Realizing how teachers are en- couraged and inspired by a familiar presence, he leaves Ted Karp as a permanent substi- tute. Article IV: Leonard Sisitsky leaves his delicate mannerisms and graceful ways to the willowy Raymond Gelfman. Article V: The cutest girl in the class, Vera Arnold, leaves her typically feminine walk to Sidney lfechler who already has it down to perfection. Article VI: Those wavy blonde locks of llarold Logan, that have long been a magnet for all susceptible young female hearts, have been declared a menace to unprotected dam- sels, and will be cut oll' and distributed among Messrs. L. Thiem, A. Hyfantis, and M. Ebbins, who could hardly be considered dan- gerous under any conditions. Article VII: Miss Nancy Russell, that aged dame of many winters, whom the years have made wise in the ways of this wicked world. leaves her knowledge of life and its vicissitudes to t.he unsophisticated freshmen. Article VIII: William, Bi Bill, McRae, our famous soccer player-or have you heard of him?-leaves his wild delight in wantonly squandering his pennies to all other Scotch- men who might benefit by it. Article IX: Arppie Nahikian leaves her quiet manner and soothing voice, so well appreciated by Miss Murphy, to Olivia Smith, just to see how long teachers can hold out under the strain of their combined forces. Article X: Marcus Strong, our dashing class shiek, leaves his manly ap earance, melodious voice, delicate sense of, humor, poise, calmness, and ability as a public speaker to Donald Crowther. Article XI: Phyllis Beauregard, class teacher's delight, leaves her powers for charm- ing instructors' hearts by her diligent de- votion to duty and graceful manner of re- citing to Francis Whitefield who already has a just claim to the honor of teacher's pet. Article XII: And while we're leaving things, we wonder how much money has been left Roy Chapin through his activities as Central's super-salesman. Article XIII: Jean Hodges leaves to all dashing brunettes the comforting assurance that according to the well known saying con- cerning blondcs. all Central's males do not seem to be gentlemen. Article XIV: Meyer White and Frank Lange, class halfwits, tied for class wit, leave the product of their gigantic intellects to Milton Palmer, who will there find a nmch needed source of inspiration for the painful witticisms with which he endeavors to lighten the weary monotony of study periods. Article XV: To William Kammerman. the neat little fellow with the curly hair, Ellison Taylor, class Buddy Rogers, relinquishes his swaggering way with Central's women. and his powers for captivating maidenly hearts in general and Robenia's in par- t.icular. Article X VI: Eunice Reich, Central's ver- satile aetress, is bequeathed the beautiful natural blush of tiny Freddie Hcrtzmark. a gift which she can use to advantage in the successful portrayal of girlish roles. Article XVII: It gives us great pleasure to announce that D. Winthro Tait. class sonny-boy. leaves his power ofpentertaining women to Buddie Todd, who may use a dif- ferent technique, but gets there just the same. In witness whereof we have signed, pub- lished and declared this instrument to be our last will and testament on this twenty-fourth day of January, l930. Signed: ARTHUR Llxxcxcrox Subscribed, sealed, published and declare'l by the above named president as and for the last will and testament of the Class of 19295 in the presence of us who, at his request, have signed as witnesses to the same.
