,IE ....... .......... ...... last will ants Testament Let it be known that the members of the June 1918 Class of Technical High School have little, if anything to will to their fellow students, teachers, and janitorsg and one falling heir to a half used theme tablet or even a broken lead pencil may consider himself lucky. Wheii approached upon the subject, eleven tenths of the fune Seniors exclaimed that they had been so busy contributing to the French Orphan fund, to the Red Cross, paying their class dues, buying Liberty Bonds, and War Saving Stamps, they hardly had enough money with which to buy food. One Senior-his name will oe witheld but it might be said that he was captain of the Tech basketball team-played first base on the Tech baseball team, is left handed and dearly loves Latin ll?,l -went so far as to say that he nasn't eaten a thing for the last five weeks, except at meal times, during his vacant periods, and when not in school. It is a shame for children to have to fast like this and it behooves the under- classmen, teachers, and janitors to think lightly of the subject. As it was next to impossible to inquire of each senior what he or she had to will, we thought it best to ask those we met first and in doing so collected the following wills: Erna Binder leaves her uoverreadi' civics book to any one wishing to suffer the results of reading it. Likewise does Rosalie Blue leave her art of ueye wink- ingi' and good nature to Minnie Brown. Hazel Potter, Lucille Reeves, and Telsie Madden have each willed a book to Helen Webster, the title of said book being uEnglish As It Is Spokew. Robert, c4Wild Bobbyw, Brewington, leaves his imagination and where-bouts to Charles Mcllvaine, for it is said that Charlie can ride around in an automobile without the least idea of where he is Gladys Shaneberger is lucky for she has fallen heir to two alarm clocks, willed to her by Clara Conner and Elizebeth Dill. Mary Hale and Bessie Hartley will part with their knack of ugood-grade- gettingw, the lucky one being no other one than Jean McAlister. Gladys Bruce wills her guardianship of Dwight Renfrew to Miss Hawkins with the hope that Dwight will not be as bashful as he has been heretofore. Earl Perkins, alias uRed,,7 leaves his useben come Elebenw habit to Eddie McClure, as Eddie is new to the game. In the same tone does Harry ,Wooclsmall will his warm seat in the office to the first student who thinks he can eat Macross the way without getting caught.

cc U U92 intsb tu Begin Zllgain Witliiri our tiny world of books, Of petty tasks and mighty aims, Of problems, tests and victories That wiser minds call childrenls games, We live, and work, and dream perhaps- Of battles fought by older men. And when weive reached our childish goal, mWe Finish, to begin againfi Until at last we leave our world. Its friendly gates swing outward wide lnto a greater, busier place Wl1C1'C all but Dreams are swept aside, Wl1e1'e brave men toil and fight and die To give the cause their all-and then, To find new struggles to confront, And ufinish, to begin againf' So, on some last still battle Held An awful hush will fall-and then Once more, our dreams and tasks complete, G4We finish-to begin again.

Now as our class is afrnishing But to begin againi' We leave to you our legacy, The Spirit of June 'l8. Oh glorious America, Our inspiration, thou!
