WILL of the CLASS of 1915 (MARGARET BARRY.)

First, as a class we leave to the school all our senior privileges, the honors we have won for the A. H. S., the honors it has bestowed upon us, and, as a remembrance of our four years here, the clock on the cornice (any one savins ' “some time” will be accused of trying to rival Hokev Logan). As individuals we desire to distribute our properties as follows : Lorens Logan leaves his self-esteem to Geo. Tucker. Maude Larsen leaves her graceful bearing to Lena Bartlett.

The Junior Prom, was given at the A. F. S. C. Hall. This was a decided success and can well be said to have been the best ever given. The hall was decorated in the class colors of yellow chrysanthemums and greens were hung from each chandelier, giving a very pretty effect. Ferns were used profusely in decorating the Balcony and Punch Table. SENIOR YEAR. First Semester—President, William Sigurdson; Vice President, Jessie Garner; Secretary Myrtle Linville; Treasurer, Ruth Spande; Editor, Helen Dahlgren; Sergeant-at-Arms, Claudia Malarkey. Second Semester—President, William Sigurdson; Vice President. Dale Howard; Secretary, Martha Jackson; Treasurer, Ersie Mathews; Editor, Helen Dahlgren; Sergeant-at-Arms, Lorens Logan. The Senior class gave a very successful ‘‘Cafeteria - ’ during the first se¬ mester. Several ice cream sales were also given. We are proud to think that some of our class—Eva Bower, Ruth Spande, Sverre Halsan and William Sigurdson—won honors for the school in debate. The class have purchased rings and pins as a remembrance of our High School days. We are also planning to leave a momento to the High School which will be a lasting remembrance of the Class of ’15. And now, after four years, our High School career is drawing to a close. And though we anticipate with pleasure our graduation, yet it is with a feel¬ ing of regret, that we must leave behind us our many friends among the students and faculty. ADVICE Freshmen, Freshmen everywhere, There’s nary a place I roam, But I see a bit of dazzling green, Alone,—just fresh from home. These Freshmen are no earthly use, They’re all to small for the team, ’Tis best they should sit on the nice big lawn, And help to keep it green. 25 —

In testimony whereof, we the class of 1915 of the Astoria High School being of more or less sound mind and in senses as sober as usual do set our hand and seal. f BONNIE SERVICE Witnesses :( CYRIL SHAW Astoria, Oregon, June, 1915. [GRACE O ' DONNELL NOW, WHAT WOULD YOU DO? (With Apologies to Loowit.) Now, what would you do with this school of yours If Agnes Lahti should draw low grades: If Dorothy ceased giggling, if Lorens ceased yelling And the Zepyhrus really had paid? Now, what would you do in this school of yours If everyone turned out to a game: If Raleigh ceased blushing, if Maude would cease gushing And if Tell W. acquired fame? Now, what would you do with this school of yours If the Latin ponies were left at home: If Ruth ceased collecting, if Charles ceased joking And Lena Bartlett began to “bone ? Now, what would you do in this school of yours If Domestic Science girls really would treat : If no one was tardy, no one played hookey And the school had just enough heat? Now, what would you do in this school of yours If. in the wild hallucination, I ' d call this a poem, a very good poem. And hope for its publication?
