ILLAHEE Gllzum nf 'EE Altho dear Fife we're leaving, It's not without regret- For long we've worked together, And played and sung and wept- At last all that is over, And we shall never more Come into Fife's old portals' As students--as of yore. These four years have been happy, And we have tried to find A bigger, nobler 'isomethingn To bestow on all mankind. l y l Of course we ve made a few mistakes, But a1wa.ys you will find, That we were trying' daily Some truth to bring to mind, Altho, dear Fife, we leave you To take an onward stride, We hope the memory of our class Will e'er with you abide. -Bertha Garman, '26, Page SlXl6F:!l5

ILLAHEE noted art galleries of the world. The ceremony was soon over and the guests left the church for the banquet which was to follow. I was given a royal welcome at the bride's home by both my old schoolmates who were now man and wife. I have a great surprise for you, said the artist, Mr. Arthur Stolen, come in here. So they led me to the library where whom should I see but all my old school chums. They were:-Bertha Garman, who was formerly president of the senior class and the Fife student body, and who was now the President of the United States, Lillian Ehnat, Governor of Washington, Mary Fox, Secretary of the Treasury, she said she got her experience collecting ad money for the Il1ahee and handling the class finances for three years. We were chattering about old times when in comes the great pastor, Marguerite Younkin, followed by Helen Ehnat, who was the editor of the Fifonian which was now the greatest magazine of the world. The next issue of the Fifonian gave a flowery account of the wedding at which the senior class of '26 was once again united. Qllaaa will E, the Senior Cluss of 1926 of Fife High School, County of Pierce and State of Washington, being of sound and disposing mind and memory, and not acting under duress, menace, fraud or undue influence of any nature what- soever, and considering that we have honorably filled our places for the past four years do make and publish, ordain and declare this our last will and testament in the man- ner following, to wit: 1. To the Juniors we leave our places that they may be filled as successfully as before them. 2. To the Sophomores we leave our knowledge and friendship and best wishes for success. 3. To the Freshmen we leave our good example that they might follow in our footsteps and become worthy of their name when they become seniors. Also, our grave manner, that they may leave some of their foolishness to the coming freshmen. 4. To individuals: A. I, Bertha Garman, bequeath my position as president of student body to some worthy junior who feels capable of stepping into my shoes. B. I, Virde Johnson, bequeath to Lillian Jacobs my dazzling beauty and love of frogs. C. I, Mary Fox, bequeath my nymph-like form to Hilda Moi who may like to use it once in a while. D. I, Helen Ehnot, bequeath my raven locks to Harry Anderson, this so the girls won't call him Red. E. I, Arthur Stolen, bequeath my exquisite grace and poise to Velma Cum- mings. F. I, Lillian Ehnat, bequeath my marvelous voice and line of chatter to Mit- suoyshi Asahara. G. I, Marguerite Younkin, bequeath my eloquent brown eyes to Arnold Thompson, that he may capture the hearts of all the ladies. 5. To the faculty we leave the little bit of knowledge which during our four years sojourn we have not taken from them and sincerely hope they may again have another class so charming as ours. 6. To the Fife .High School, we leave our best wishes and sincerely hope it may always have a class, such as ours, to uphold its lofty ideals and to furnish amusement. In witness whereof, we have hereunto set our hands and affixed the seal of our class, this first day of April, in the year of our Lord, one thousand, nine hundred and twenty-six. -Class of '26.
