In view of the above fact we make the following bequests: First: To the succeeding classes of this school wc leave our exalted position, together with our sincerest wishes that they absorb, before leaving, a little more of the elusive substance called Knowledge” than this class did. Second: To the teachers of Falls City High School we leave our good will and best wishes, in view of their faithful attempts to teach us the first elements of the above mentioned knowledge.

My Trip to the Underworld I shall try to give you a brief account of my journey to the underworld, a region of darkness inhabited by the spirits of the dead, and governed by Pluto and Proserpina, his queen. I had always kept in close touch with Bob Greenwald, who is the messenger god of the underworld, concerning the number of souls from class of ’32 that he had conducted into the underworld. He informed me that I was the last one of my class left on earth and he offered to take me on a journey to this infernal region in order that I might again see all those familiar faces. I immediately went down to the Missouri Pacific station and bought a round trip ticket to the underworld. This cost me an enormous sum, I must admit. I traveled nine days and nine nights before I reached my destination. Here I was greeted by Mercury, the very same old Bob Greenwald that I had gone to school with in ’32. While we were waiting for a taxi, someone, decorated with horn rimmed glasses and brandishing a net, collided with me. She jumped to her feet and dashed off in pursuit of a butterfly. (Oh, yes, there are butterflies down there too). What hit me?” I finally managed to gasp. Anna Pool,” Bob replied. Bob told me that many souls had to wait a number of years, because of their misdeeds, before they could cross the river Styx; evidently Anna was one who had to wait. We stepped into the taxicab, and when the driver turned around and shouted Where to?” in a gruff voice, I recognized Adam Lippold, even though he had grown a heavy beard. It wasn’t long till we came to the bank of the river Styx. The grim old boatman, whom I immediately recognized as Ed Waller, ferried us across the river. Ed told me that he was in partnership with Wayne Allen, who also runs a ferry across the River of Woe. He soon reached the other bank. We walked through many long, dark tunnels till we came to a wide open gate. Here we stopped suddenly, for a three headed serpent-tailed dog growled and barked at us. We had a hard time getting past, but finally managed. I later found out that this same ferocious looking dog was Robert Johnson’s little pooch.” Robert and his dog were such good friends that Robert couldn’t bear to leave Mitzi” on earth so he took Mitzi” with him. Imagine Robert’s disappointment when he stepped into the underworld and read the sign No Dogs Allowed.” After much begging, Pluto consented to keep the dog in the underworld but only under certain conditions. That the dog must have three heads and a serpent tail, and that it’s duty was to guard the gate into the courtroom—So thus ends the story of the little dog Mitzi.” After entering through this gate, I found myself in a large courtroom where three souls were awaiting their judgment as to where their souls were to go, Elysian Fields or Tartarus. Pluto, Bud Maust, and his queen, Sara Hutchings, were seated on their throne. Rulers of the Underworld.” My but Bud did have a dignified look. Mercury left me here for just then the one o’clock whistle blew and he dared not be late for his job of conducting souls as this angered Pluto very much, and Bob feared he might lose his job. Page 22
