 » ♦•♦ ♦ ♦•» ♦THE SPUDPICKER f’cnior Class HHll 28 Ladies and Gentlemen, Board of Education, Superintendent, Faculty, Teachers and readers, in behalf of my clients, the class of ’28 of Hemingford High School, in the village of Hemingford, state of Nebraska, U. S. A., I have been summoned before you to disclose, as an altogether necessary and proper obligation at this opportune moment, the last will and testament of a class now standing on the verge of extermination. Being of both good sound mind and body with no feeling of partiality, we, the S niors, with abounding kindness and thoughtfulness of our loving nature do give and bequeath the following: Section 1. Bequests to Faculty. , We. the Seniors, will our remarkable generosity in overlooking the unintelli. gence of our lower classmates to our highly educated faculty, and sincerely hope that they may show some appreciation on behalf of our loyalty and kindness. To Miss Melvin we bequeath our great admiration in her remarkable ability in coaching and sponsoring the Senior class of ’28. To Mr. Elkins we will a Typewriting Assembly that he doesn’t have to call down more than forty times a period. We also will him another darling Junior class. To Miss Spence and Miss Gregg we gladly donate twenty dollars ($20) to put in a Children’s Home, on behalf of a couple of Freshman boys who need and want a home. To Mr. Durfee we leave a perfectly good muffler and hope that he will use it while in the Assembly and speak with less force. To Miss Melvin we will our great ability in History and English. To Mr. Elkins we will a smart Physics class. To Miss Gregg we will our admiration for her debating class. And Oh! those Latin Club nights. To Miss Spence we will our knowledge in Shorthand, also a magnifying glass to see erasured marks in Typewriting. To Mr. Durfee we will another Football and Basketball team like he had this year. Some Coach! He’s a wow! Section 2. Bequests to Classes. We, the Seniors, find nothing to leave to the Juniors, as they appear to have all that a class could wish in respect to wit, manners, dignity, talkativeness, and even “brains” (?) and beauty, but as we want to cause no hard feelings, we will bequeath a few debts that we have contracted this year. To the Sophomores, we will our Book Reviews that we have possibly used three times ourselves, and hope that they will get theirs in on time hereafter. To the Freshmen we gladly will the formula by which we have risen from the “Lowly earth to the vaulted skies.” To the School we leave all pencil stubs, erasers, notes, ink bottles, and dirty books that we may leave in our excitement and hurriedness in gathering our cherished treasures for the last time. Section 3. Personal Bequests. LaVerne Scott consents to the giving up of his prescription on “How to be- come strong and healthy,” and says he hopes that Bud Badger will take advantage of it. Edna Myers wills her slimness to Isabella Headden. Oneta Hucke wills her flirting disposition to Irma Johnson. John Laeger wills his swift walking to Bruce Keckler and hopes that Bruce will get to school on time next year. Viola Ustohal wills all letters addressed from Chadron to Gertrude Miller. Florence Planansky wills her admiration for high school boys to Agnes Hov- orka. (Continued on page 35) —27—

♦THE SPUDPICKER. Sn- J (Club The Hi-Y Club was organized the second semester of this year. The follow- ing officers were elected: Marion Danbom, Sec., P. D. Johnson, Treas., Sponsor, Supt. C. A. Elkins. The State High School Secretary is Mr. W. E. Thomas. The paid-up members are Marion Danbom, Wayne Shaver, Ralph Baldwin, Ralph Porter, William Porter, Oscar Planansky, Cecil Gibson, Elmer Mart, Jason Wiltsey, P. D. Johnson, Elmer Brown, Ralph Drury, Marvin Drury, Eugene Gibson, LaVerne Myers, Cyril Norris, Wesley Furman, William Perrine. The Hi-Y conference was held at Alliance, March 16, 17, 18 and Mr. Elkins and some of the boys attended the entire conference. Those in attendance feel that they re- ceived much good from the meetings and they will always remember “Abie” with great pleasure, as well as Mr. Oberlies and Mr. Robinson. The local Hi-Y Club furnishes boys’ literature bearing on the subject of Hi-Y and other questions which the boys are reading with much interest. Following are reasons why high school boys should belong to the Hi-Y Club: Because, its purpose is “to create, maintain and extend thruout the school and community high standards of Christian character.” Because, its slogan is “Clean Living, Clean Speech, Clean Sports, and Clean Scholarship.” Because, it is a great National Movement. Because, its ideals are so high that it commands the respect of everyone. Because, its work is intensive in character as well as extensive. Because, under experienced supervision it helps to place right emphasis on life’s value thru thoughtful consideration of Life Problems in the light of Christian Teach- ing and Christian Ideals. Because, it presents an opportunity for a group of high school boys to render unitedly service to the boys less fortunate than themselves. Because, it develops leaders with high ideals and challenging examples for the new students. Because, the outstanding privilege of membership is the privilege of service. Anyone interested may feel free to correspond with Supt. C. A. Elkins or Mr. W. E. Thomas, 205 Y. M C. A. Building, Omaha, Nebraska. June 1 to Sept. 5, Camp Shel- don, Columbus, Nebraska. —29—
