0 9 1 r 1 L4 1 iz o 2 a 5 0 o o o 5 1 1 1. .L Q JCADEMIC UNION QP c '52 me CLASS WILL We, the Class of 1931, being of sound mind and memory, do hereby make this, our last will and testament. 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'

People of today are perhaps too inclined to take this science for granted. Here is a little comparison that is rather interesting: A few years ago, Theodore Roosevelt traveled thousands of miles in his campaign trip. He spoke before huge crowds in the nationis largest cities, and his fiery eloquence moved many thousands. But these thousands were a mere few of the votes cast in the election. What, then, of the millions of voters who did not hear the messages that the candidates had to offer? What of John and Mrs. Hayseed, in Pumpkin Hollow, whose votes counted fully as much as those of Mr. and Mrs. Bigshot, who lived in a state metropolis? The candidate could not hope to reach the millions of 'chayseedsn all over the nation, 'and could merely trust that the newspapers had given these voters an idea of what his platform was. Today the presidential candidate steps onto a platform before a large audience. On the table in front of him is a little instrument suspended by springs set in a frame. It is no bigger than an alarm clock, and is equally alarming. Alarming because of the fact that it starts the speaker's voice on a journey to millions of listeners all over the world. Mr. and Mrs. Bigshot, sitting in the midst of the great crowd, can hear no more, perhaps not so much, as can Mr. and Mrs. Hayseed, sitting in their parlor one thousand miles away. Every rise or fall in the speaker's voice, every fact he recites, every point he illustrates, comes to them with thrilling clearness. You may rest assured that when the Hayseeds cast their votes it is with an excellent knowledge of the policies and virtue of the contending candidates. Such is the power of the radio, reaching into far distant lands-slashing dis- tances-entertaining-instructing-yes, even saving lives. As is generally the ex- perience of all new and line things, evil is creeping in. This evil is radio advertising in its present state. America is noted for its billboards. These huge signs are spoiling the scenery of our countryside all over the nation. Now we have Nbillboardsn of the air, which are threatening more and more to destroy the enjoyment of our broadcast band of radio frequencies. We sit down to our radio, turn to-a station, and hear that Hthis program comes to you through the courtesy UD of the Blotz Toothpaste Corp. Ladies and gentlemen, do you know that nine thousand nine hundred and seventy- six doctors indorse our toothpaste. It tastes like candy, is guaranteed not to roll off the brush, and hasnlt scratched yet. The use of this product, etc., etc.,,, for ten or fifteen minutes. Disgusted we turn to another station, and are advised emphatically -yet, nearly frantically, to MSmoke Old Molds, thereis not a bark in a boatloadf' So it goes, the demon of radio advertising threatening increasingly our radio pleas- ure. Can we not turn the facilities of this new science into more useful channels? Can we not educate the radio public to more valuable facts than those offered by radio advertisers? Let us purge the air of this evil before it becomes too deply rooted, as have the billboards of today. If these advertisers were uchased offv the air, and current topic reviews, music appreciation programs, talks on modern subjects, etc., substituted iri their stead, the radio public would learn considerably more, as well as having actually enjoyed it more. Newspapers, magazines, yes, even billboards, give the manufacturers space 'GIG - IGIGIIQ OIOI I ' ldllull IJ J ' ' ' ' ' '
