I I Class In Jatuiary, nineteen Iwcnty-three, There came much consternation When three hundred freshics put to sea On the ship Determination. W ' e had amliilion hy the bale And will power hy the peck. And not a kid was on that ship, But for to win, by heck. It wasn ' t long ere we set sail A storm came from behind. -And though we fought against that gale Our crew wc could not find. Our hearts went out to the martyro l few Who had drowned or were distressed. Hut nevertheless we fixed our .?uns On the treasure ship Success. She was manned by a pirate, old and dried, Old Physics by the name. .And with old Latin by his side He raised considerable Cain. But on we went to Sophomore Isle . nd left a failing few. Shook off a year of finished toil Then let the sails fly true. We crossed the Bay of Deep Conceit Fwas sad as sad could be. For though our hearts for them did beat Ten men were lost at sea. I History Thru ' Junior Straits we made our way . nd hardly lost a man. For those now left, I ' m glad to say Were full of grit and sand. In Senior Sea where ne.xt we sailed We saw in the sea afar Four helpless wanderers weak and pale Clinging to a broken spar. They were members of the class of June . nd had sailed this sea before . nd w ith their help, ' twas very soon We made that ocean roar. Our captain, T. O. Ramsey, by the name We next did all select. For he could sail this bounding main With both eyes closed, by heck. The last half year he was our guide .And we did make the grade. .And all of us do point with pride, At the records w ' e have made. The Sea of Learning we ' ve traversed The horizon is now in sight. .And when into a cold world we do burst Let ' s conquer with that . C. fight ! —GLENN CROSS 29

And in and out were twined roseliuds sweet, A liara more precious than pearls. Her eyes were blue, as blue as the sea. The deep, deep, sea, without ripple or wave. Her lips and her cheeks, it seemed to inc, Were red as an amaryllis I have. ■She spoke to me in a sweet, clear voice, And it seemed like the song of a lark. And her message made my heart rejoice, ' Twas the message of Love, to which we all hark. She asked mc to love my friends as myself, Pis she who brings out the good in us all, Pis Love, my comrades, that beautiful elf. Who calls for our virtue; we answer the call W hen I woke I roni my dream, she vanishetl away. Hut her image will ever remain in my heart. And Love, that has power all humans to sway, W ill hold me her captive, nor ever depart. —Ville Safford 28

Class Will c, the Senior Class of laiiuary XiiK-lci-n Huiulrcd and Twcnty-scvcii, I)cin ; loo wise and holy to exist on this mortal realm have of one accord, departed hence to higher and noliler regions where we may expand our al- ready lofty ideas. But wc cannot depart in peace until we have left our earthly posses- sions gleaned in North Central in care of those whom wc know they will liest hefit. W c hereby set forth our last wishes. Knowing iliat the dcUts we owe lo tlic facul- ty, wc cannot ever hope to repay, we will that they be paid by the underclassmen in exchange for the valuable belongings we are bequeathing to them. However, to the faculty we will our ad- vanced knowledge in ho|)es that next year their path may not be as rugged as their countenances. To the Sophomores wc will our conspicu- ousncss, in hopes that their presence may be known to exist the next two oars. To the Freshmen wc will cmr ability to skip classes, invent new excuses and lastly to fool the faculty. To Milton V ' yatt and Keuyon licment, future yell-kings (?) Hlythe Pike be(|ueathcs her record-breaking lung capacit.v. His tinted hair, Fred Bruya leaves to Kuth Robinson, hoping thai Phil Redford will be pleased. Each lunch period will tind George Zimmer- man in the quest of rosy cheeks and a youth- ful figure. Bertha Schmidt leaves her lunch, which includes two delicious apples to aid him. Smiles and giggles by the peck, will belong, in the future, to the two dignified senior B ' s, Mary Hinlon and Rhoda Mahoney. Ruth Thornton and Alva Roslund will have no more use for them. Esther Fredrickson leaves to Grace Gregg the privilege of saying ash too bad in an.s- wcr to all complaints voiced in her presence. Norma Jacobs wills her speaking and dra- matic ability to Lewis Stevens in the hope that he will make good use of it — and use discretion. In the fuliirc, Dorothy Crane, Dallas Taylor and Ivar Higl.berg will have their wish, curl hair, because . rmcntia Schacherl and To.:; McNeill have consented to leave theirs. Tom ' s is to be c(|Ually divided between Dorothy and Ivar, as it seems to have enough natural curl ftir two. Our beloved . rdith Mellinger leaves her ability to give motherly advice to Bervl Davis. Keluclanlly, we surrender Lang .Armstrong ' s IH ' ppy and inspired pencil lo his successor on the News staff. May it continue to make mirth and merriment for the multitude. . trunk full of arguments and speeches be- longing lo Kenneth Davis are willed to the school library for Kalhrvn Stedman ' s use. Care of the Catlonian club is left to Frcida Foth by Helen I ' Iciss. Helen requests that Freida keej) her eye on the club reporter to assure publicilv in The News. Leaving T. O. Ramsey to the Senior seems to be the custom of every gradualini; class. Evcrvbody knows a good man when they come in contact with him. . rkill Israel leaves six inches of his stature to Milton . ndrevvs. . rkill really doesn ' t need it and Milton can use it. His al)ility to pick out jazzy suits. Pete Fox leaves to Eddie Myers so that he can make a good job of trying to be conspicuous. To the Senior B class we bequeath Uavc Kavc and Mable Rice only because we are not able to take them with us. Joel Sleeth leaves his regular girl customers for bars to George Stocker realizing full well he can lake care of the demand. Such relics as chewed pencils, gum wads, toothless combs, cracked mirrors and old book covers are bequeathed to Mr. Stegcr, the un- covered books to be cared for by Mr. Shaw. In the name of the best class to ever grad- uate. In testimony whereof we have this day affixed our signatures. J.ANICE SCHERMERHORN ALICE THOMPSON MARTHA SCHOENING 30
