He travels over the country selling it and enjoyslife immensely. The Suffragette. too must not be forgotten. Perhaps Koneta Stewart, hy her efforts and speeches will prove to be the greatest of all. She is working hard for votes for women. But Lulah Sanders, who has gone back to nature, is getting the most out of life. She has taken up a homestead in Mon- tana and breaths the pure air of the West. She has had many suitors, but rejected them all, she is a confirmed old maid. And most miraculous of all, Lonnie Musser is an evange- list in northern U. S. He travels from place to place as did Billy Sunday, but far exceeds him. He has even learned to sit on a chiar without falling under the table. Nothing ever happens but the unexpected. Orville Rapp plays the funny part in the world's latest play. He was always so quiet and harmless. but his acting, always excellent, has developed into the sublime. Ruth McMillin suddenly developed a hitherto unknown talent. She has become known for her beautiful paintings, which merit the best of praise. Praise must also be given to, Viola Games for enduring her lot so well. She is conducting kindergarten in Waynesfield, and, O! for her how sad this fate must be. Irvin Harrod is also still in Waynesfield. His father has given him a team of mules and he keeps bachelor quarters and is running a dray in the village. Over the mighty deep sails a ship upon whose deck walks a most distinguished and stately man. David Gilmer. after finishing his course at Wayne High, entered Anapolis and is now Captain of one of the greatest in the U. S. Navy. And last and also least in stature, though not otherwise, is Winona Fasig. She has taken a domestic science course in an eastern college and is looking for a position as housekeeper. Last! Ah! Yes last. The muttering had ceased and nothing more was to be seen or heard. I was entirely left out in the cold, not even of enough importance to be considered. 'NJ

Reference: Floyd Barnett. 20.-We bequeath Dora Horn's quietness and amiable disposition to Helen Gray. 21.-To anyone willing to perpetuate the custom, we be- queath, for discussion, the pet topic of Mr. Wilkerson and Floyd Barnett. 22-If anyone in Wayne High can pronounce Helec- ricity exactly as Miss Musser can, we hereby grant them that privilege, 23--We bequeath to Riley Wilson, that talent of Irvin Harrod, by which he acts naughty and looks innocent. 24.-To Laura Gray, we bequeath Winona's Sleepiness. We also trust that Mabel Gilmer will strive to become as tall as Winona. 25.-We desire that Lulah Sanders' gum bedecked desk remain vacant until the class of '16 is elegible to the row now occupied by '14, when the aforementioned desk is to descend to Abigail Van Horn, 26.-And now to those classes which shall come after us, we bequeath the custom of the afternoon spread, inaug- urated by the Agricultural class of '14, We hereby nominate and appoint Leslie Bowsher to be executor of the last will and testament. In witness whereof we have hereunto set our hand this 15th day of May, in the year of our Lord one thousand, nine hundred and fourteen. THE SENIOR CLASS.
