HL i'6E5 eiF:E' l lass Will . - my f J y.. i ' 1 ' E . Ladies and Gentlemen, Board of Education, Superintendent, Teachers, and Friends: We, the class of '29, of the Flagler High School of the city of Flagler, County of Kit Carson, State of Colorado, have called you to- gether at these sad hours of our lives. We are about to depart from our dear F. H. S., with sound minds and bodies, Well trained mem- ories, and ideal educatic-ns, the result of the work of our good teach- ers, who have done their part in sending us away from this school well fitted and prepared for life Work. We present to you our last will and testament in which we have willed our precious belongings, that we inherited from the class before us, to the students below us, who we feel and believe will accept and use these to the greatest ad- vantage. We leave Mr. McKinley the duty of seeing that they are used as we suggest, or the privilege of making any changes he thinks necessary, and we do hereby revoke and make void all wills and promises by us heretofore made. As to such estate as has been given us, we do dispose as follows: Item 1.-We do give and bequeath to our dearly beloved sponsor, Mrs. Gammill, our sincere aiections, our deepest reverence, our heartiest gratitude, and the whole unlimited wealth of our eternal memory. Item 2.-Again we give and bequeath to our beloved superin- tendent and faculty, all of our reverence and respect that we have failed to show them in the last four years. Item 3.-We give and bequeath to the Juniors, so full of fun and tricks, our dignity. But, dear Juniors, don't think you can startle the world in one day because you are dignified Seniors. Start in gradually, then when all of your fun and tricks have left you, and your minds have settled down, and your thoughts are dwelling on higher things, maybe you will startle the world-also you can say you on the north side of the building, and the privilege o-f trying to sneak away on sneak day without anyone knowing it. Item 4.-To the Sophomores we give and bequeath all of our best wishes, and also many thanks for the services rendered on Bacca- laureate Sunday and at the Junior-Senior Banquet. Item 5.-To. our Freshmen brothers and sisters we give and be- queath our perseverance 5 and we do hope and beg that you will use it followed the class of '29. We also bequeath to you the row of seats aaa:-ze-a ugse e ee we

3 q commercial and glee clubs. Four girls and three boys were on the first string in basketball. Lucille and Neta Rees were elected to positions on the Girls' All-Conference teamg Cliff, Rich, and Gib, to the Boys' All-Conference team. Again our names adorned the in- terclass basketball championship cup. On Feb. 14 and 15, the Junior play, the Adventures of Grandpa, was presented. The cast, composed of Lucille, Ella, Arvella, Marjorie, Ruth, Harold, Dave, Rich, and Gib, made it a decided success. Arvella, Jeanette and Ada won places in the district commercial contest this year in typing, spelling and penmanship. On May 4. five passengers entered the Interscholastic Literary Meet. Of these Lucille won first in orationg Arvella, first in piano and vocal solog Jeanette, second in spelling. Five of our members represented F. H. S. in the track meet and made a good showing. On May 14, the Achievement landed that its crew might enter- tain the Seniors royally. Thus, boarding a ship, the emblem of that class, the Juniors became hosts at a colorful banquet. The Achievement rose at the height of its power September 4, 1928, with twenty-eight Seniors on board. Mrs. Gammill was again chosen as pilot. Rich became captaing Ruth, first lieutenant, Ella, second lieutenantg and Cliff, third lieutenant. Many stops were again made for football games, these, that eight members might aid Flagler to victory. Seniors also became journalists, and with Ruth as editor-in-chief, edited the Plainsman. The Hoodoo, a play given for the Annual benefit, called for another stop. . Four boys and four girls won places on the basketball squads. Then the Achievement ran into one of those spaces of alternate storm and sunshine as are often encountered during lengthy fiights. Though she was nearly forced to land several times, her crew managed to buffet the wind, andon March 2, emerged into space radiant with sunshine, as F. H. S. won the Boys' B. B. Championship of the S. E. C. L. On March 7, she also won the Girls' B. B. Championship of the S. E. C. L. from Stratton. The same storms were encountered on the two weeks following, but always the Achievement came out on the winning side, having incurred little damage. Gib, Rich and Cliff won places on the All-Conference teams. Many members again took an active part in the glee clubs, car- nival, literary and track teams, orchestra and operetta. Arvella, Mil- dred, Verland, Harold and Dave played leading parts in the latter. April 8, Sneak Day, the Seniors vacated their study hall seats and headed the Achievement toward Colorado Springs, where they spent the day, returning late at night to continue their high school journey. On April 30 and May 1, the Senior play, Ace High, was ably presented by the cast, composed of Gib, Rich, Clii, Bob, Verland, Ella, Lucille, Alice, Ruth and J eanette. We enjoyed the splendid hospitality of the Juniors at their an- nual banquet on May 13. On Class Night, May 15, we gave a final reckoning of ourselves and presented to our beloved school a token of remembrance. The Achievement was brought to rest at its destination, Com- mencement, on May 16, with the hope that F. H. S. would continue successfully in the years to come, and always remember its devoted members in the Class of '29. -JEANETTE PRICE.
