practices. Another grand high light in our careers came when we prepared the Junior-Senior banquet. Many tired muscles and aching backs resulted but everyone had a wonderful time in giving the Seniors of 1938 a grand farewell from this high school. At the start of this year we found that being Seniors seemed not nearly so inaccessible as it had looked in those twelve years of journeying to the top, yet there certainly was a fine feeling of distinction in being seniors. Lorna Collins had moved to a new home and we missed her from our ranks. Mr. Taylor started the year as our sponsor but we were greatly disappointed when he left our midst in the middle of the year to move to a new position, he had traveled with us from our freshman year and for a few weeks it was a bewildered class that wandered around wondering what it was to do without him. His place was filled for a few weeks by Mr. Lindahl, but not permanently until Mr. Payne came from Kearney to take Mr. Taylor’s place and guide the Seniors on their final semester’s journey to graduation. In this our Senior year, we bestowed the honor of President upon Phil Grant—idol of the hardwood. Carl Berg served as vice president and Merle Horrocks was our Secretary-Treasurer. The Senior Class pictures were taken—of course with a great amount of giggling, and excitement. The Annual staff was chosen with Jimmy Bradford as chief scribe—or Editor. The Senior Class play, “It Happened in Hollywood,’’ was a great success coached by A. E. Payne, our able and helpful sponsor. High School has been a grand experience and I know every Senior will feel a little reluctant in leaving it, but they certainly bestow all the good luck in their power on these undergraduates and teachers to whom they bid a fond “adieu.” By Carl Berg.

CLASS WILL We, the Senior Class of Meadow Grove, in the year of 1939, being of sound mind and body, and under no persuasion from outside sources, do make, publish, and declare this as our last will and testament, as shown in form as follows: First: As is the custom we direct that all our just debts and obligations to this school be paid in full before we depart from its ranks. Our place of dignity and all our best wishes, we leave to the promising Junior Class. Second: The members of the Senior Class do hereby bequeath their individual characteristics as follows: Phyllis Yenter wills her witticism, including her “Mae West Bedtime Stories,’’ to that Giggling Gertie, Mable Austin. Donald Munger does hereby bequeath his ability to arrive at school on time and his hickory stick method of teaching to Winton Beech. “Maxie” Horrocks gives his knowledge of the lay of Tilden streets and alleys to any Junior who needs it and the enjoyment he gets from whistles to Bill Moore. J. C. Bradford endows his unfound love upon the freshman heartbreaker, “Plip” Gillispie and leaves to Woodrow Collins the tender mercies of next year’s faculty. Jennie Dearmin gives her contagious giggle to the Lewis twins, Margaret and Helen. Duane Stewart, for some unknown reason, surrenders his cowboy waddle and his essay on “Physics Made Easy” to any student who may need it. Raymond Larson gives his American History accomplishments to any member of the oncoming class. They 11 all need it. Della Kilmer wills her lack of poise and reserve to that dignified sophomore, Lawrence Osborn. To Fern Duhachek, another milkmaid. Dean Schlueter wishes to leave his love of eggs and country sausage—if she hasn’t had enough already. Arthur Suckstorf deposits his Beechnut gum in care cf ai'. assembly desks not yet covered.
