N MANICHlGAN m fairy-like Perfume Shop appears in La Rue de la Paix in Paris. Standing amidst a group of delighted fragrance hunters are the Messieurs Turnbull and Hallock, sole heirs to the Wool- worth Perfume Counters. The shop fades into a modern skyscraper bank. Sitting behind a massive desk is Alvin Moss who, the years have proved, is as brainy as he is lengthy. We now discern three trafiic cops lt must be Broadway. A shrill whistle applied to the lips of the cops brings the cars to a stop with a screech. A young sheik is listening with boredom to his daily calling down. The scene enlarges and we recognize the three women-cops, who are none other than Mary Ball, Alma Ullin, and Margaret Zeller. Now, the picture melts into a mob of men carrying massive signs proclaiming. Perscver- Last Will and Testa We, the Senior Class of '28, being of a sane and 'healthy mind, do ordain and establish this. our last will and testament in this. one of our saner and healthier moments. unprejudiced by any act of intolerance on the part of the faculty: 1. To the Junior Class we bequeath our :cats in the Auditorium. together with the draft that is felt there. 2. To the Sophomore Class we leave our stately mien. which will be found to be very useful when its members become Upper Class- men. 3. To the Freshmen we give our superlative intelligence, of which they seem badly in need. 4. To the faculty, especially to Miss Jorgen- sen and Mr. Bendle, we leave all unsettled dis- putes which have arisen during the past four years. 5. From the pennies found on the Study Hall floor, we wish to donate the sum of quarante sous ffigger it out for yourselfj to be placed at the disposal of Madame Scott to enable her to buy a clock for the back of her room by which she will be able to tell when the periods are ended. 6. To Elin Knudstrup we leave all unused cuds of gum to be added to her own vast store for the betterment of the Wrigley Company. 7, Emanuel Sheras, Douglas Linder, Richard Hallock, and Harold Knudstrup bequeath their seemingly unlimited supply of the English ance wins-so will we.', If better women can be found, we'll find them, etc., etc. We wait impatiently, wondering what it's all about when the leader turns and we recognize Wilfred Tremblay. He makes a lengthy speech an- nouncing his intentions and those of his bachelor followers to search the world for 'isweeties who are immune from souringf' A ghastly zigzag of grotesque lightning draws up the entire lighted area and slowly floats up and through the ceiling, leaving us in complete darkness. We feel our Way out to the dim twilight, in a semi-stupor, but nevertheless with smiling countenance and the earnest hope in our hearts to again experience those precious treasures of living memories. FRANCES E. ADAMCZAK. Evi-:LYN ULLIN, ment of the Class of '28 language as demonstrated in Civics Class to those juniors who will use it advantageously. 8. Mary Louise Mackin leaves her love of pop to Miss Ada Studley in the hope that the heir will not abuse the love as the donor has, 9. Irma Leitch bequeathes Schlitz to the tender mercies of some deserving Freshman, while Elsie leaves Doo, to Miss Lundbom, who will see that he does not play with mud-pies on Sundays. 10. Ray Grill. Warren Ketcham, Carl Juer- gens, Bob Danforth and Marian Hansen leave their seats in the orchestra to those lower classmen who promise not to dishonor them. 11. Alvin Moss bequeathes the atm.osphere in the upper regions of the classrooms to Eugene Emunson if said heir can derive any benefit from same. 12. Lastly, we affirm that if all contents of this will are 11Ot carried out to the letter, all money left by ns is to be used to buy another medal for Lindbergh. - O K M N X. Written under the supervision of the class at large by two members, on this. the sixteenth day of May in the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and twenty-eight, we hereunto sign our names to insure the validity of this docu- ment.

,6q MANlCHIGAN Dfb, Handling of Gas. A new scene appears. What a novelty! Ed- ward Rutowski, grown two feet taller, is skipper of Toonerville Trolley, which bears the sign, Exclusively for Elopersf' Inside, on a com- fortable wooden bench are the familiar figures of Lenore Belgard and Hugh Bowman, bashful young runaways. A medicine show named Thimble Theater is the next scene. One of the main features is Dawn Maker, popular vocalist, accompanied by Tom Redmann and his harmonica, rendering that pathetic little song entitled Can't Change lt! Max Sullivan as ticket collector, causes more than one flapper's heart to thump pain- fully as he shows himself offf, The Second Act is a scream! .Alfred Fortin, appearing in native Scotch costume, announces the famous Swiss Yodelers. Ernest Khinke, Florence Raatz, and Sophia Zaiger. The screen presentation is The Cute Detectiveff featuring Clifford Sirnsky. famous lover of the screen,',and Mar- garet Welch as leading lady. A dazzling light disclosed a Chinatown res- taurant. Alluring strains of music drift across the spacious room. Gazing intently, we see the sign, World's Famous Orchestraf' The three most distinguished players are seated on an elevated platform. They are Warren Ketcham, Marian Hansen, and Carl Juergens. But we always expected them to become stars. A stu- pendous crash attracts everyone's attention, and we see amidst a heap of broken china, Ray Grill, as chef, dressed in immaculate white apron and cap. His outstanding features are a stiff toothpick mustache and a corresponding jazz-bow tie. One can scarcely discern which is tie and which is mustache! We learn that his chief work is preparing 'fhors d'oeuvre and translating French menus for simple-minded people. We now see a prettily decorated shop at the top of which we read, Try our delicious 'Kis- meqwicks'-the gladsome gumdrops. Try ours once and youill never try another! Exclusively manufactured by Gale Evans, Lewis Miehlke and Ruth Ba'tzer. ' A crowded stadium appears. We See a huge sign advertising the sensational football game of the season. The f'Argentina Gauchos vs. the Bucking Bronchosf' The preliminary is a spectacular bullfiight, featuring the modest Ver- non. Peterson as a dapper young toreador Among the flaming stars of the Bucking Bronchos are Harry Brocki, Glen Haidt and Gerald'Thompson. What a stride these modest kids have taken! The spectacle vanishes and an enormous fac- tory appears. A great sign proclaims, Hand .Nl Painted Rubber lce Pick Co.,l' Louis Arkin and Rolert Danforth having gone into partnership and Ruth Oehlke and Helen Augst are the com- petent private secretaries. This scene fades into a hot tropical country. Seated on a low stool amidst a devout group of ferocious looking Australian bushmen We see Evangeline Engwall, whose gentle disposition has brought her great success. As this amazing picture disappears, we see an antique flivver bumping painfully along Lincoln Highway. It bears a vividly painted sign on which is printed, Touring the country on boa'- rnwed gas. Honor yourself by being ,the next victim. Signed, Golden Eckholrn and John Zamrowski. . Another flash shows us a demure young lady holding an audience spellbound. On close in- spection we find it is Marjorie Ode. a woman philanthropist. whose topic is, It's O. K. to preserve wild life in the forest, but what to do with it in the city is a problem. . ln a dull green light we see a majestic stage. f'The Hicksville Scandals Kutting-up Kollege Kapers is on. The light brightens and we recognize Harriet Pawlicki. Wave Evens. Carrie Grady, Mamie McGaw, Elsie Eckoff. and Rose Maker. Alice Lidtke stars in Tokio Tango. The second act also presents familiar faces. Einer Henderson makes a hit with his version of Let By-gones be Never-Wases, and Harold Knudstrup renders Excess Baggage beauti- fully. This troupe is skillfully directed by Elmer Thorpe, noted director of the day. Another scene! It appears to be Vassar College. A beautiful office appears and we see a stately business-like young lady sitting alert and capable at the Dean's desk. Ruth Knud- strup's steady reliability has brought her to this ideal position. What in the world-?? Great guns! Lauren Davis, dressed in a red uniform with shining black boots, and looking as spiffy as a bug's ear is holding a commanding position-over a lion. He is evidently training lions to be the pets of New York debutantes! We hardly get time to fully realize it is Lauren. before a huge stone building springs up. bearing the sign, Chuck's Brewery. Charles Daniels is certainly working his way up in the world! From the contiguous garage a shin- ing truck backs out, also bearing the sign, Chuck's Brewery. When it gets out into the country, it steps along so fast that the tele- graph poles must look like teeth in a fine comb to the driver, who we now see is Lief Backie. Another Hash, another scene!
