The Take CLASS HISTORY In September, 1918, twenty-two timid little Freshmen entered High School. For some unknown reason, the upper classmen seemed to take a dislike to us. The result was most disastrous. At the end of the year only half of our class remained. The next year we were in the height of our glory, for we were Sophomores and well aware of our responsibilities. By this time we were only eight. The year following the same number enrolled as Juniors. We had just one aim in view, and that was to become full-fledged Seniors. On September 13, 1920, only five of the eight Juniors registered. We were glad to welcome another Senior, a transfer from Santa Cruz. The new girl was Evelyn Chase, who has added much to our class in school. Ours has been a lively class from the very beginning of our Freshman year, and as Seniors we have given the faculty every reason to remember us after grad- uation. From our ranks have come many of the most important Student Body

CLASS WILL We, the grave and reverend Seniors, not wishing to leave this honorable institution entirely destitute by withdrawing utterly our inspiring and enlightening presences, and, having by much perseverance accumulated some of this world’s goods, do hereby, believing ourselves to be of sound mind and in a disposing mood, bequeath, bestow and inflict the following bequests to the ones most deserving of them: I, Mildred Dixon, believing myself to be of sound mind and weak knees, do will and bequeath to Margie Terrill my husky physique, to be used to advantage in basketball. I also leave to some future “chem” student my ability to draw down a I (one) on my report card by use of my “blank stare” at recitation. I, Emily Newton, having an incompetent mind, do hereby will to some future Senior my ability to explain to “ Prof.” why the Seniors took a half-holiday to go skating and my ability to bluff through solid geometry to Olive Cessna. I, Ingerman Jacobsen, believing myself to be delirious, do hereby will and bequeath to a certain Freshman maiden my undying and young affections. I also bequeath to some one who wishes to attain the manly beauty I possess, my unruly “pomp” and my freckles. I, Jens Jacobsen, do hereby will and bequeath to George Chipman my sur- plus avoirdupois and height. I, Evelyn Chase, having the only sound mind in the Senior Class, do hereby will and bequeath my shortness to Mona Severns, my stubbornness to Agnes Israelson, and my big feet to “Monk” Morrison. I, Jennie Johnson, believing myself to be all right mentally, do hereby will and bequeath to a Junior girl some of my abundant tresses and to someone not so gifted as myself, 1 leave my power of making speeches and debating. —M.
