lfifffg gg, A BLUE QFD WHITE W V hopes for as large and good a Senior class next year, although we are aware that none will absorb knowledge as rapidly as the class of 21. To the Juniors we leave our good times, dilapidated seats in the Senior room, and our ability of bluffing through Civics. We also leave to the Juniors the work of con- vincing Mr. St. Clair of the necessity of dancing at 'social gatherings and to the same we bequeath all unused invitations to Bacon Bats and Hay Rides. To the Sophies we bequeath our trained ponies used in Caesar, and our strug- gles with said gentleman's battles, also the opportunity of following the examples set by us last year in using the writing of Physics experiments as an excuse for dates. To the Freshman, being so distant, we bequeath only our trials and tribulations as beginners. The personal bequests of the Senior members are as follows: Katherine Howe bequeaths her display of class colors to Bessie Hale. Helen Owens bequeaths her tastes in the art of love to Hazel Gosnell. Gaile Davies wills his tardy marks to any one who can use them. Lucie Draper wishes to bequeath her literary talent to John Everett. Lenora Weeter leaves her dancing ability to Delia Hessin. Frank Williams bequeaths his good faith in women to Mitch. Mabel Dicken, our Frenchy, wills her gift of gab to Dorothy Blade. Marjorie Philbrick leaves a perfectly good seat in English class, to sleep in to Frank Dumm. To John Welsh, Earl Williams bequeaths his position in athletics. Margaret Brooks and Sylvia Hall leave their Senior dignity to Geraldine Ackley and Russel Pierson respectively. Thomas Hite wills his red shoestrings to the next jinx of the school. Dorothy Hobart bequeaths her sweet disposition to Florence Bailey. Beany Evans leaves his red sweater and gray hat to Neil Crooks. Mary McLain is taken care of by Juanita Jones who leaves her her popularity. Milford Smoke leaves his beloved Mary C. to Sharer. Uree Black bequeaths her right of tutorship in French, English, Geometry and Shorthand to Myrtle Richards. She also bequeaths her noon-hour window seat to Ethel Grigg. . I I Lee Dawson leaves his popularity with the girls to George Bonham. Frances Bacon bequeaths the care of her sister Nellie to Josephine Brooks. Forest Loveless leaves his Huncalled for line to Winston Case. Wilhelminia Hulshizer bequeaths a changeable mind and a peculiar disposition to Doris Courtney. . Hazel Dunlap leaves her wonderful talent in Math to whomever needs it. We hereby constitute and appoint our worthy principal as sole executor of this our last will and testament. In witness whereof we the class of 21, the testators have to this will set our hand and seal this second day of June A. D 1921. THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1921. Here's Mr. Smith! The Seniors and other classes must not forget him. He's the one that has irade it possible for all of l us to get out of some class at some time or other. We've had a good time too. He has kept us laughing and in good spirits every Thursday. We have learned three codas, Revel of the Leaves, Fairy Land Walse and N Morning Ramble. We sang other songs too, from our little brown book. Then we learned a new G. H. S. song composed by Katherine Silliman. Mr. Smith has made it possible for us to have a splendid quar- tet-Alice Cook, Mary Chessher, Juanita Jones, and Katherine Rohrer. ,He has su- I perintended the music for the May festival given by the eight grades. MR. GEORGE J. C. SMITH

BLUE AND WHITE 15 pussy-willow trees which grew along that stream down on the Newark pike and cen- tered all their bomb attacks on the village. Wilhelmina has started a Cat and Rat Ranch out in Lincoln ithat state between the Dakotas and Montanal. She's running it on economic principles all right. Keeps the rats to feed the cats. The last fur coat I got was guaranteed to be a direct pro- duct from there. White angora, it's a beauty, too, and they are all the rage in San Francisco. Gaile Davies does all the labor on the farm and gets an immense salary. Must be some job to care for two such types of animals. After finishing my shopping yesterday, I stopped at a movie house and saw the Sin Twisters in their latest comedy and guess who they were-Lucie and Marjorie. Lucie has grown so thin she looks as though she were wasting away and Marjorie-a barrel cannot be compared to her. No one would know either of them. It was some comedy, too. They also had the latest news on the screen. Uree Black, the only living person who has been able to converse with the dead fand it has been proved that she is not a fakej has just learned that there will be no cooties to bother us in Heaven. It seems that she can not keep up a steady conversation, but only hears snatches at a time. Mr. Edison's theory never worked and Uree says it's because there was a hole in the ether just the other side of Mars, so his messages never got through. Poor Lee Dawson is having a terrible time trying to get Sunday Blue Laws through the Senate. People say he has almost gone crazy from the strain! And no wonder. With Dorothy Hobart fighting him so, it certainly looks as though he would fail. She is the only member who will not agree and, as it takes a unanimous vote now to pass a bill, it certainly looks dark for Lee. If I hadn't known Dorothy so well in old Granville Hi, I might see some hopes, but l'm afraid mountains cannot move her. Poor Mable, had to give up her Dan! Did it for the money though, I guess she supports him never-the-less. Some old millionaire widower came through Granville after she'd been in college only one year, and took it into his head that she looked like his long lost daughter, and now I guess she's living in Alaska in luxury. We really thought Francis Bacon had gone wrong once. She ran away to Hawaii and learned the Hula but she has since been converted and has gone to Mars as a missionary. Earl Williams, who used to be so brilliant in Math, has taken a turn for the better or worse fas one may look at itj and is weaving a marvelously lustrous material from caterpillar fur. People were rather doubtful as to its durability until his wife demon- strated that it could be worn, continually for two years and not have a hole in it. In a gown in which she sang at a Grand Opera in Paris she really appeared more beauti- ful than she did fifteen years ago in the Feast ofthe Red Corn. Hazel Dunlap has started a school of photography in Fredonia, where one studies the art of picturing homely people in beautiful ways. Helen Owens caused quite a sensation in 1922. Found she had been corresponding with the son ofa French ex-nobleman, and immediately deserted her dear Dick and set sail for France. Speak- ing of crossing the Atlantic reminds me of the ridiculous attitude Hazel Dunlap took toward the World War, went to Germany, found the Kaiser and after many years has finally convinced him he was pursuing the wrong policy. It seems that only was her main idea. Sylvia Hall is teaching the shimniy up on Mars. Poor Lovey! I always wondered if he would ever pull through that long course in medicine his parents had planned for him. He graduated from Denison, then from a University in Germany and thinking he must have everything going finally went to Mars for more knowledge. It seems that the climate had some effect on his tongue, and he is now without any speaking facilities. Bob is getting along all right with her teaching and is still waiting and hoping that he will come back and his power of speech will return with him. Thus have all our dignified Seniors of '21 turned out and I venture to say not one of them would have believed it if their fortunes had been told thus in 1921. CLASS WILL We, the graduating class of 1921 of the village of Granville, county of Licking, and state of Ohio, supposedly being in sound mind and memory do make, publish and declare this to be our last will and testament, hereby revoking and making void all other testimonial writings by us heretofore made. We do hereby direct that all our just debts and funeral expenses shall be first fully paid, that our funeral services shall be conducted by our friends, well wishers, and that the faculty shall see that the funeral is carried on with the dignity and pomp to which our standing in school entitles us. As to such estate as has accumulated in the four years of hard labor, we do dis- pose of the saire as follows: .We give and bequeath to the Board of Education the newly acquired Colosseum and our ideas for improvement of same. .To the Honorable Members of the Faculty we bequeath our good will, dignity, and

IF I ONLY HAD ANOTHER CHANCE When the sun rises in the east, and the dawn brings that one day of all days to the Senior's mind, Commencement, a thought comes to all of us. Those who are to receive a reward for their work are happy in one way and sad in another. Each one looks back and sees the mistakes that have been made. If I only had an- other chance-yes-I would do so many things that I didn't do, and what grades I would make. We find we have wasted so much time and if we had another chance we could go back and make some of it up, but time and tide wait for no one. Some may not be satisfied with the studies they have taken. He or she may not have the required material for their future work. Many, many times have we heard the remark from those who have left school: If I only could have that chance again. Some have utterly failed in their life work and others by mere chance have made use of the knowledge they did have and made a success. Perhaps if they had made use of these gone-by chances some might have made a success and others better success. Our great grandparents and even some of our own grandparents did not have a chance for education. They see the present day opportunities and say Oh, if only I had had that chance. We should take notice of these facts and make the best of all the good that comes our way. Do things well in the future that we will not have to look back and wish we could do it over again. Many activities in our school have been carried on more successfully this year. Yet, we hope for greater improvement along many lines. Our two literary socie- ties should accomplish far more. If pro- grams for the entire year were arranged at the beginning of the semester, better results would be obtained. Students, de- vise plans during your vacation hours. Why not have the championship in the tournament in basketball in '22. We have a splendid start. Keep it up! More interest was shown in oratory this year. It doesn't matter so much if we did not get first place at Newark. Our Ora- torical in Granville showed what bene- fits we have derived from our training. We have not had those debates, however, with other schools, for which we have been longing. Now, for debating next year. OUR TROPHY HALL Who would have thought that Granville High School would ever possess such a wonder, as a Trophy Hall? Well, after a great deal of talk, we really have suc- ceeded in starting one. What a pity that such a movement could not have been started years before, so that now Granville High School would possess something really worth while. Already a number of athletic pictures have been collected, especially football teams which represented Granville High School in 1913. Perhaps the oldest picture which represents an athlethic team for our high school is that of basketball in 1906. It is true, that many of the present-day pupils do not know any of the players representing that team, but it is very amusing to compare those of the present day with those of the past. What a. curio- sity. Granville High School has already won one baseball championship pennant and why not have more than one hanging in our school? On the opposite wall of the hall will soon appear the pictures of the Blue and White staffs of 1920 and 1921. Besides these will be one of Kenneth Breeze, the winner. of first prize at last year's County Oratorlcal. H V qi Q U The following pupils received an aver- age of ninety or above in each of four sub- jects the last six weeks: Hazel Dunlap, Kathryn Howe, Wilhelmina Hulshizer, Junanita Jones, Helen Owens and Roberta Davis. In each of three subjects: Margaret Brooks, Dorothy Hobart, Earl Williams, Kathryn Silliman, Elizabeth Hale, Adaline Sipe, Dean Tyson, Berneda Lowery and Mary Case. In each of two subjects: Uree Black, Forest Loveless, Lucie Draper, Geraldine Ackley, Lorna Jones, Kathryn Rohrer, Clare Lacock, Russell Pierson, Katherine Richardson, Mary McLain, Harry Deeds, Ruth Woolard, Dorothy Blade, Georgia Ables, Ruel Carpenter, Gladys Curtis and Raymond Galbraith. The alumni are planning for a real ban- quet this year. The definite plans were not made at the time of going to press. For the desired success it will be necessary to have the co-operation of all alumni. Let us show the high school that the Alumni Association is a live one.
