I Vi ie' -ei 'Rf bl First- Ohio, being in sound state ot' mind, and desirous of equally appor- tioning all our property and worldly possessions while our feeble strength remains, do make, publish, and declare this, our last will and testament: lVe renounce all claims to any portion or portions of our beautiful, majestic and picturesque High School building, especially do we bequeath to the class of '20 the Senior portion of the assembly room.

22 THE REFLECTOR soa::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::pc:::::::n:::::::::::::::::::c The Class Hammer Mr. Ailes is our lanky principal. We have found notl1i11g which is im- possible for him to do, for doing a fancy one-step with the midnight bawl, to giving hard lessons and poor grades. Miss McDowell--We hereby introduce to you, ladies and gentlemen, the foremost reformer of the age. She is an ardent- supporter of VVomen's Rights. and would join the Bolsheviki, or matrimony,-if the horrid men would drop out of it. i The Sch001 House would be an admirable place for an asylum for the insane or freeble-minded. About half ot' its present register would remain, however, if this change should come about, The School Board-it is only recently that this body of antediluvean ancestor-worshippers has emerged from the ooze of past geological ages into the sunshine of the present. A few of them have taken a great liking for athletics, especially the manly art, and teach by principle rather than by precept. ViI'g'il-We now bid you a last farewell, O, ancient and implacable enemy, hoping that you will find enjoyable your sojourn in that underworld of which you have so unceasingly chanted. Chas. Ma.s0n,' Janitor--lVl1en unoccupied with his arduous duties of seeing that none ofthe Freshmen walk off with the schoolhouse, he is found discussing profound theological questions with his bosom friend, Frank Bensch, Maumee Village-Although once a prosperous, thriving city, 'it is now but a grease-spot on the map of Progress. It is governed by men who have a working knowledge of language Cprofanel and the science of piling up debts for their posterity, and little else. Because it practically ignored the education of its future citizens, it is dying a slow death from sleeping-sickness. May its soul rest in peace-or elsewhere. Amen. Rf-2 4 5,
