Class Will The end is inevitable. It is writ in the sands of time. The day is drawing close when we, the class of January 1935, will pass on to the unknown. Therefore, we have prepared our will. TO MR. THOMPSON: We all leave our heartiest admiration. For one man to accomplish the impossible, as you have done as our dean, is the feat of a superman. We can repay you only by saying Thanks TO THE SCHOOL IN GENERAL: John Bigwood leaves behind a host of doubtful English teachers and takes with him that inimitable style he has for misspelling words. TO THOSE WHO ARE INTERESTED: Mary Sullivan wills her weight reduc- ing diet. A strong will power will see you through, she adds. TO ANY OTHER AMBITIOUS PIANIST: Selma Gold leaves the piano for noon hour recitals. TO THE INCOMING FRESHMAN: Jessie Hathaway bequeaths all her jokes. They couldn't have heard 'em from her. TO ALL WHO HAVE SISTERS: Jane Gardner leaves the advice to stay away when little sister has the chicken pox. TO DUDLEY DIGGES: Harold Chestnut, with a very sympathetic smile, hands over his president's gavel. TO JOAN STOKES: Eleanor Friedman bequeaths her dependability. TO JOHN FLICKINGER: Bill Pfeif leaves his ability to trip the light fantastic. TO EVELYN CONNOLLY AND MARION VVINCHESTER: Rachel Lock- erby and Eileen Corrigan will their Ruth and Naomi friendship. TO WALLACE VIETS: Alfred Kosberg bestows his report cards. Wallace, read 'em and reap. TO MARIE SUMNER: Kay Holmes wills her megaphone for future use. TO AUGUST SCHMIDT: We can only leave the request that he take over Wilbur Barton's ability in managing future affairs. TO BETTY SHARPE: Kay Garahan gladly turns over Miss Quigley's typewriter so that she may file her snails down on it as Kay has done for the past three years.

l+'s in the Blood Today you, the Seniors of Nott Terrace High School, will experience one of the great events of your lives. Mr. E. O. Hoffman was addressing the January '35 gradu- ating class that was crowded into the small waiting room of the hospital. Now and then one could hear a faint giggle from the rear of the room establishing the fact that Wells Bill was telling Betty Bogardus some of his very best jokes. We are fortunate, indeed, continued Mr. Hoffman, to have been invited here today by Dr. Johnson. A relative of Dr. Johnson has invented a delicate microscope which, when a sample of the patient's blood is placed under the lens, foretells very accur- ately the career for which the person is best fitted. This instrument has been tested with great success, but this is the first time that any great number of people have been examined. Vincent Corbo, always skeptical, said he thought it must be a fake. The remainder of the class, however, showed their disapproval of this statement by immediately freez- ing Vincent with icy stares. At this point, a door, which led from the waiting room to an examination room, opened. Three doctors, one an old physician, the other two internes, stood in the door- way surveying their one hundred and sixty patients. First they seized upon a young man wearing a very bilious hat and escorted him into the examination room. He put up quite a struggle when his hat was taken from him, but he finally quieted down. Name ? Keigher-Raymond Keigher-Raymond Anthony Keigherf' At this point Dr. johnson left the two internes to their own resources and went to help the pulchritudinous Miss Ether, a nurse with whom Doctors Schmaltz and Burke seemed to be getting nowhere. Ray, getting up some of the courage which he displayed when he signed up for his fifth term of geometry, took the needle in the arm like a little man. When they had obtained some of the lad's life-giving blood by this method, they placed it under the super ultra microscope. Hm-, mused Dr. Burke, as he gazed into the instrument, if you don't mend your ways, young fellow, you'll grow up to be a jazzy drummer and no more sinister a fate has befallen any man. Thoroughly alarmed by the physician's words, Ray started to leave the room, resolving never again to keep awake the people downstairs by practicing drum solos at midnight.
