Goes singing through my ears; I’m sure if I live long enough ’Twill keep ringin’ there for years. Especially that stern request, “Write a poem and do your best!” It’s then I wish I might have been A poet like those mighty men Who wrote the wond’rful rhymin’ things Which now our teacher at us flings. But then they’re dead and I might be. If I should write such things, you see. —D. D. ’25

 'j f Twenty» Four Slowly the magic ball clears and I am to gaze on life in the year of our Lord, nineteen-thirty-five. .Zounds! with a thud I land in what seems to me some two hundred miles within the interior of the earth. The situation, however, is not quite that bad, being only in the underground mansion of my illustrious schoolmate, Ruth Wilson. She is a highly noteworthy personage known as the “Master Mind.” She has all the data concerning the rest of my dis- tinguished class-mates. Edith, it seems, is endeavoring to fulfill the highest mis- sion in life, that is, to train an ideal man. She hopes to finish soon and to present to the world her most miraculous ac- complishment. Ken, I find is struggling in the wilderness of Africa try- ing with zealous faith to deliver a flock of heathen from the darkness of sin and eternal damnation. It is said his college training in football and track has aided him greatly in several instances. Monk, perhaps from his deep interest in chemistry, has become one of the best perfume salesmen known throughout the west. Capitola,—but why question, since her life’s problem was solved on the thirteenth of July, that famous year 1923. (Those of you who remain in the dark concerning the dark significance of this date will kindly direct your questions to- ward Cap). Bernice and Vera have joined forces in the manage- ment of a beauty shop. Their invention of a hairless coiffure has added greatly to their financial prosperity. Aggie, a charming divorcee is taking an extended tour throughout Europe. When she returns she expects to take up duties as first lady of the land. And would you believe it! Hick is the owner of a fine putomobile factory for he developed the great rival of the Ford and now “Hick Cars” are met on every county road throughout the West. THE CHIPMUNK Johnnie has found his place in the world as the star of “Aesop’s Fables.” He has replaced the sauve Valentino in the heart of the feminine world. Agnes Johnson has become the editor of the “True Story Magazine.” Being a capable business manager the business has proved a huge success. Lastly, Doggie,disappointed in love, has become the cel- ebrated rolling stone. At present he is making an experi- mental trip to Mars,—so no exact statement can be made concerning his future. Madame Joyza looks up laughingly while I endeavor to collect my bewildered senses. The Madame discloses her identity and is none other than Joyce Ricketts. We discuss at length the strange turn of affairs and also she tells me how she was inspired to choose her present profession. The pleasant tete-a-tete is completed by my being taken into her employment as one of the spirits necessary to hoodwink the trusting public. —R. G. '23 CLASS WILL WE. the class of 1923, in fourteen individual and dis- tinct parts, being about to pass out of this realm of knowledge and in full possession of an abundantly supplied mind, a well trained memory and an almost super- human understanding do make and publish this, our last will and testament. First: To the leading paper of our city, the Westwood Sugar Pine,” we give and bequeath all the events of our lives, past, present, and future, with all the scandals, sen- sations. hair-breadth escapes, glorious attainments, and other deserved or undeserved notoriety or fame with which we may have been or may hereafter be associated, trusting that they may furnish plenty of material for news items and brilliant editorials for ages to come.
