prowess to Jack Davidson. Hope you live through it, Red. His ability as a lexicographer Shaky Carkhuff leaves to Louis Glick. Willie Weisbrot leaves his wavy and well groomed hair to Joe Reisch. Don't be bashful with the iron, Joe. Her Virgilian laurels Anna Kalugin proudly bestows upon Tillie Budres. -Iarossy leaves his football medals to Jim Budrecki. Every little bit helps, Jim. Here is another offer for you, Bill Berry, if you won't accept Art's silent nature, Celia Siegel offers you hers. Emma Witfill leaves her various typing awards to Frances Schecter. We hope you won't try to wear them all at once, Frances. To Eleanor Mackey is bequeathed Rae Weinstein's ladylike manner. Anna Smiles falls heir to Molly Krav- etsky's high heels. The style is there, but we're not so sure about their comfort. Jack Dragon, the village butcher, leaves his slicing ability to Covalence. We hope you won't use it while playing golf, Paul. Bud,' Scott bestows his French laurels upon Irene Molson. To Madeline Page Anna Schuler leaves her graduation dress. Make the most of it, Madeline. Speaking of making the most of it, Ed Murawski is thinking of leaving his basket- ball suit to' Harold Whitman. Perhaps the trunks will make a nice pair of plus-fours for him. Lillian Smith is to become the proud pos- sessor of Lydia Covalence's blushing coun- tenance. Honest, Lillian, it's natural. Very willingly Julius Goldsmith bestows upon Jack Powers his easy How of historical facts. Mary Dobson is the recipient of Mary Beviano's marvelous ad-gathering ability. Elin Rosander's shyness is bestowed upon Edith Hudak. You will have to settle down, Edith. We, the class of 1927, do hereby acknowl- edge the above bequests, general and specific, as our last will and testament as drawn up and witnessed by the undersigned on this twenty-fourth day of March, 1927. Signed: SoLoN TUCKER, ESQ. HAVAPILL BREWSTER, M.D. ,l,li..-l- The Challenge Senior, come, I beckon! All men I summon, not all answer. To youth, who knows not despair, I seem as that which, long awaited, Makes its wonted appearance. Mistake not thou, O Senior, but haste, Stand ready to follow me. In years to come he who knew me not Will rue. But I shall not forsake him. Ever lurking silently, patient, In the dimness of the misty future Which o'erveil's the world in fog, I, With brilliant rays of Phoebus' strength, That mist do penetrate, disperse the ugly clouds, Come shining into life's dark chamber, And restore the cheery light of morn. But, thou, welcome me as now I call. Stand ready for thy task, heed thou my summons, When again I speak, thou mayst not hear. Senior, come, I beckon, I, whom happy men call Opportunity!
