Class Will To whom it may concern: We, the Class of 1930, being about to pass from this sphere of education, being of brilliant sound minds, extremely intelligent, and of superhuman understanding, do hereby declare and publish this, our last will and testament, making void all such wills and promises made by us heretofore. First: We leave to our revered friends, the members of the faculty, the flower of mem- ory sweetened and enriched by our personalities. Second: To the Juniors, we leave our dignified manners and extreme self-respect. Third: To the Sophomores, we leave any of the girls that we may have taken from them. Fourth: To the Frosh we leave anything that may happen to be left over after all the other heirs have been provided for. Fifth: To our sponsors, Miss Ickman and Mr. Cummins, the admiration and friend- ship of the Class of 1930. Sixth: Individually— Lelia Andrews leaves her ability as an athlete to Marjorie Mullen.

 Class Prophecy The scene opens in front of a tall office building. Passing through the main entrance we see on the directory: “G. F. Cummins—32nd Floor”. On the 32nd floor are four doctors, two dentists, three real estate men and Mr. Cummins. His door is labeled: “G. F. Cummins—Typewriters Repaired While You Wait—Good Used Typewriters for Sale and Exchange. Also, first class instruction in elementary and advanced mathematics.” Advancing we see the white-haired old man sitting in his chair day-dreaming of the accomplishments of the class of 1930. Let us go with him. In the dream we see a mammoth skyscraper with a whole floor set off to “V. Wiltse and Sons, Attorneys at Law”. We find Mr. Wiltse, greet him with a smile and discover he ha» four sons—Oscar, Throckmorton, Algernon and G. Hiram. Mr. Wiltse laboriously removes from its shelf, a huge volume entitled “F. C. H. S., Class of 1930”. Then he reveals to us a few of the activities of that novel class. He is interrupted by a commotion in the street below. The throng gathered tell us that a great merger has just been effected. Albert Maust, wealthy manufacturer of the “Green Dragon”—a car closely modeled after the original, the family car of Dr. E. R. Hays—and Henry Ford have come to terms and are under one company. This corporation now has three presidents for Bob Graham is a partner of Henry. A newsy rushes forward crying “Deuchler Detroiter—just a nickle! Want one, sir?” We give the smiling carrier who is John Hermes five cents and upon opening the paper see that it is edited by Luella, Adella, and Margaret. The headlines scream out that Colene Schmitt, the Sauer-Kraut Queen, has given up work to get married. She hasn’t decided who to marry yet. As our eyes follow down the column we see that Kenneth Beutler has recently been appointed head of Buck’s Booteries Store. His salary has been increased from 6.98 to 7.95 per week. We turn a page and find a want-ad reading—“For Hire: A good mattress-tester. See Philip Custer. William Boose’s experience as class treasurer laid the foundation for his ultimate success. He now stands among the foremost of Wall Street financiers. And the sporting column! We find that Ralph Lewis and Harold Gurske have taken over the management of “Dutch Witte” and are making good. Lelia Andrews has made herself famous as a director of athletics at the University of Nebraska. An item farther down the page catches our eye. Robert Schock has established a world’s record in the swimming marathon at Y. M. C. A. pool at Omaha. Billy Thomas is now the famous inventor of a special brand of chewing gum, guaranteed to remove freckles and re-sod bald craniums. We also learn from the paper that Phyllis Hoover has received a responsible position in an insane asylum and is busy carrying soup to nuts. Billie Gary is attempting beautifying of our countryside by introducing the custom among farmers of painting the cows and pigs to match the landscape. Homer Witt is Still loafing. Miss Ickman is head of the thirteenth division of the President’s Cabinet dealing with Bigger and Better Kitchens. We fold up the “Detroiter” and proceed down the street with Mr. Wiltse, who tells us these facts:
