THE SUN-DIAL THE PROPHECY The Woman I Wont To Be There are many great women in history I could wish to be. Mary of Scots- poor, brave Mary who stood with her face to the guillotine and refused to trade the birthright of her heirs for the right to live. Jeanne d'Arc-the glorious, gallant Maid of Orleans who fired the fainting hearts of the French and swept them to glorious victory! Florence Nightingale who matched derision and ridicule with courage and strength and made nursing the fine profession it is today. There is Louisa May Alcott-gentle Louisa, whose immortal stories of American home life were written when her body was racked with illness and her soul with loneliness. And Marie Curie, whose wonderful discovery of radium will be a boon to humanity, forever. I could Fill pages about these women who have carried the banners of my sex to the highest places. But I -I cannot be any of them. I can just be myself. The woman I wan! to be is the best I can get from that self. I want to enter whole- heartedly into my chosen profession and make myself worthy of it. I want to sur- round myself with friends who will love me and need me. I want everything I say and do to be kindly, fair and charitable, and though there may be no shining aura around my name, perhaps someday--someone may wish to be the zmmmz IWAS. IT WILL NOT MATTER It will not matter much the task I shall not count my pay in coin That life will set for me, But find at end of day, If I can bring my fullest self That I am richest only when The woman I may ben- I've been just all I may. --RUTH HOLLAND President, VELIA SPAGNOLO SCCICIHIY, MARGARET MULLER Vice-President, LEONORA TARLETON Treasurer, MARIE EBERT CLASS COLORS Green and White CLASS FLOWER CLASS MOTTO Tea Rose Ever Onward Advisers, RUTH DUNWOODY, HELEN BATT

THE SUN-DIAL THE WILL We, the Seniors of Girls Vocational School, do make and publish, this, our last will and testament-to those we love and to whom we intrust our feelings for knowing and enjoying their acquaintance, we do not leave those things that are animate for they are not at our disposal, but those things that we feel are greater because of their significance we now devise and bequeath. Item: We leave to those who have come to appreciate fine arts, fine music, and the beauty of life surrounding them with whatever they may need, as the strain of Schubert's Serenade, the faint fragrance of the rose, and the glorious riot of the sunset. We bequeath to them, lines of Shakespearean plays, paintings of the loveli- ness of clouds, trees, and birds, we leave a life to them bursting with all these fine things so that they may be content. Item: To those who love inspiring sports of rivalry, we leave the undaunted confidence in their own skill in sportsmanship and the sufficiency of strength to accept defeat gracefully. We leave to them courage,-courage to listen and to face -he applause for the other fellow. We leave strength to them so that they can play the game well and undefeated. Item: To those who love merriment, we leave lilting songs, so that they may dance and sing without let or hindrance or without any care, and we give to said people, good cheer, wit and humor, and the company of jolly fellows to laugh and joke with, with all the happiness of their youth. Item: To those whose lives are brimming with the harmony of peace and con- cord, we leave additional satisfaction and ease so that their homes will be filled with all this. We leave to them, the sweetness of early dew, the song of the nightingale, and the dainty bloom of the honeysuckle, all these things are to add a touch of beauty to their quiet lives. Item: And to those who have given us each day of their own strength of body, mind, and spirit, and who have unselfishly helped us over the roughened spots, we bequeath all the goodness that has resulted from their teachings, to last them through the rest of their lives.
