Q31 1 Y J, , 4. ' , c UPLIFTINC THE PUBLIC Without a loophole of doubt, the play's the thing. The seniors of Water fully realized their golden opportunity, nay, their solemn duty to the public presented to the public on October 17, 1930, a worthy drama of an educational A College Townf' Not one of the caste but played his role with a high minded and faithfully attended most of the rehearsals with a sense of benevolent vi Constantly did the players keep before them the lofty ideal of presenting the p with an ideal performance. When the rehearsals had reached the point where the play could be put on deep and proper feeling by the interpreters, the grand event was staged, and you to see it. If your particular pal were playing the leading juvenile role, you sq dered your substance for a front seat. If you were more fortunate, you invited lady and sat with the rest of the gang and their ladies in the balcony. The cu rang up promptly and disclosed that tall girl who wears a yellow silk jersey ar school, arriving as a college week-end visitor. Anon appeared the man who back from college last fall-you never knew he could act. He couldn't. The president, the jester, and another came on disguised. as females. You appla madly. Their families sat in the third row, with strained expressions, as th each member had a toothache. The play went on until suddenly there was an a silence on the stage. Came a sepulchral voice from the wing. The play went you never found out what happened. Between the acts, you craned your neck to see whom that new girl with th hair came with, and who that fellow was that brought Joyce. The ,families 0 performers read their programs over and over and clapped little. At last the curtain came down and all was over. You went home, and decided to read the icism in the School News the next Thursday. You shook all the performers b hand, and shouted at them in the postoffice how well they did, and they clen their teeth-and thanked you. lf they were girls, you looked at the flowers were wearing and they blushed. The next week you forgot all about it. But it all happened again commencement week-same cast-same stage- business of uplifting the public with a superior performance.

And now we've reached that mountain top So high to childish eyes, But still much higher mountain peaks Before our visions rise. Too well we know, as on we go, That hardly will we iind The help and cheer we have found here- From teachers true and kind- Our future path will rougher lie Beneath our weary feet. Our thoughts will turn with longing To school days, fair and sweet. And often in the future, Oh we may weary grow-- But with courage high to do or die- Oh onward let us go. Let us all vow, both here and now, Though we may not win renown Let us all be worthy always Of our class, our school, our town. E JYGW 1 IOIQ - .I OIQICIIO OIG!

Feeling that we have not much longer to live, we desire that our property, namely, our faults and virtues, should be equally distributed be- fore our death. First, we desire that we should be given decent burial, with the juniors as pall bearers, and the sophs and faculty as chief mourners. To the faculty we leave peace and quiet from one of the worst good classes that has ever been in school. We also desire that they shall forget the many red marks they have put down on our papers in trying to make out our hieroglyphics. To all the juniors, we leave our home room, hoping that they will enjoy it as much as we have. Rosalie Randall leaves her excess height to Lowell Peckham. Lowell we hope it wonit inconvenience you. I To Bob Dutton we leave Dick Myers, freshman crushes. Now, Bob, have pa- tience, they are only 'ffreshiesf' . John Bourke says he is going to be good to one who deserves it and desires to leave his basketball career to Anna James, also his telephone number. Karl Kline is going to leave Priscilla to the care of Frederick Brunner, and Frederick, do be careful. Margaret Cleary, our ubestw little good girl, says she is just tired of being good, and for a change is going to be bad like Mary Fuess. Mary, here's hoping that you wonlt worry other folks with your goodness as Margaret does. Dilys Jones is just the noisiest senior we have, and she is going to leave this good traiti' to Agnes Angier. After this Agnes you'll never have stage fright as Dilys never did. Bob Kehoe is going to leave his graceful walk to Mr. Jenkins. Maybe he,ll have to teach you how, Mr. Jenkins, but youill soon learn. Francis Tuffey, who can read Latin with his eyes shut, leaves this unusual ability to Freddy Byrnes. Miss O,Hare, see that he profits by it. Genevieve Wright leaves her hobby for drinking chocolate milks during basket- ball season to Mary Brown. Mary, be sure Mr. Fischette is not around. Mary Norton leaves all of her big cars to Stewart Fuess. Do be careful, Stewart. Virginia Volkman leaves her quiet ways to Bob Fuess. We hope that you profit by them, Bob. Esther Lloyd leaves all her jilted suitors to Anne Doyle. Be kind to them, Anne, and they will live. UBocken,, Lloyd, the drug store cowboy, leaves his ability for putting up pre- scriptions to Johnny Head. Remember, John, gasoline and lime won't mix. To the Class of ,32, Jakey leaves his whiskers, as an inspiration to bigger and better achievement. Doc7' York leaves his pipe and flashy suspenders to Billy Locke. They'll go good with that velvet vest, Billy. Leland Davis leaves his Essex sport model to Tessie Westmoreland, so that she can go to more dances. Arlean Draheim leaves her 'gpulll' with Mr. Jenkins to Bessie Ogden. We hope you can use it, Bessie. 'IDD D OIDIEIIQ olo ' I lolxll ' ' 211'
