- 1 THE SFUDPICKER •JStnixxv Class 10:11 Ladies and Gentlemen, Board of Education, Superintendent, and Faculty, in behalf of my clients, the class of 1929 of Hemingford High School, in the small but prosperous and thriving village of Hemingford, Box Butte County, in the State of Nebraska, United States of America, I have been summoned be- fore you to disclose this altogether proper and necessary obligation at this most opportune time, the last will and testament of a class now on the verge of gradu- ation. Being of both perfect good sound mind and body, with no feeling of partiality to Mr. Carter, our sponsor, Mr. Elkins, our Superintendent, Miss Melvin, our principal, Miss Gregg, the English teacher, Miss Spence, our commercial teacher, Miss Rohlfing the mathematic instructor, to the student body as a whole the Juniors, the Sophomores, the Freshmen, and the coming Freshmen class, and after much deep and sincere meditation characteristic of our loving-nature and abounding kindness, we the Seniors do hereby give and bequeath the following property and wealth: Section I. Bequeaths to the Faculty We the Seniors, will our great ability in over looking the lack of proper training and mistakes of the lower classmen to our highly trained and well post- ed Faculty, and sincerely hope they may profit by it when the Freshmen class becomes too trying, and will show some appreciation in behalf of our loyalty and kindness. To Mr. Carter we will our great admiration in the remarkable skill in coaching and sponsoring the class of ’29. To Mr. Elkins we bequeath a physics class who get their own experi- ments, instead of borrowing the neighbors. To Miss Melvin we will our deep admiration of her loyalty to all classes of the old H. H. S. To her also we owe our ability as politicians. To Miss Spence we bequeath another good second-hand typing class, but we hereby warn the members of this class to beware of erasing mistakes, for we know by experience. To Miss Gregg we will a peaceful, happy country home, somewhere be- tween here and Alliance, in which her classes are never over. To Miss Rohlfing we bequeath a new class of inquisitive Freshmen. Section II. The Student Body To the Student Body we, the Seniors, will all reference books, half empty ink bottles, partly chewed sticks of gum, second hand rulers, pencils, pens, dirty and scarred books, marred desks, and free use of waste-paper baskets, es- pecially in Mr. Carter’s Assemblies. To the Juniors we bequeath section one of the high school assembly, we also will them the right to acknowledge the Freshies into high school the coming year. To the Sophomores we bequeath the occupancy of the already crowded and marred center section of the assembly now occupied by the Juniors. To the Freshmen we bequeath a transfer next year to the assembly on the upper floor and we hope they will soon learn to respect their superiors. To the new Freshmen class of next year we bequeath our admirable (Continued on page 68) —19—

THE BUILDERS A builder builded a temple, He wrought it with grace and skill; Pillars and groins and arches All fashioned to work his will. And men said as they saw its beauty: “It never shall know decay, Great is thy skill, O builder! Thy fame shall endure for aye.’’ A teacher builded a temple With loving and infinite care; Planning each arch with patience, Laying each stone with prayer. None praised the unceasing efforts, None knew of the wondrous plan, For the temple the teacher builded Was unseen by the eye of man. Gone is the builder’s temple, Crumbled into the dust; Low lies each stately pillar, Food for consuming rust; But the temple the teacher builded Will last while the ages roll; For that beautiful unseen temple Was the child’s immortal soul. —21—
