T HE Z E P 11 Y R U S N1NETEEX TWENTY-FIYE Senior Will We, the class of ’25, being about to pass out of this sphere of education, in full possession of a crammed mind, well trained memory and almost super¬ human understanding, do devise, declare and publish this, our last will and testament. We give and bequeath to our beloved faculty all the amazing knowledge and startling information that we have furnished them from time to time in our various examination papers. We know that much has been imparted to them that will throw a new light on many a hither-to familiar line of thought, throughout the whole world of science and learning. If the faculty see fit, they are hereby authorized to give out such of this information to the world as they may feel the world is ready to receive. We also bequeath to them the feebleminded Juniors, Sophomores and Freshmen, and sincerely hope that they will occupy their time and cause them more trouble than we have. To the respective classes of the High School we do will the following, to-wit: To the Junior class we do bequeath Room 14 which during the past year has housed a vast amount of industry, ambition, honesty, courage, soberity, vim, vigor, vitality, pep, and seholarliness. We do also will to them our Senior dignity; may they uphold it forever with all seriousness and gravity, endeavoring to realize its vast importance, in spite of their natural light- mindedness and irresponsibility. To the Sopohmore class we do leave and will our wit, humor, reliability and optimistic view point. To the Freshman any over-looked cuds of gum we may have left adhering to the underside of desks, banisters, assembly seats, or any other likely or unlikely places. Irma Allen leaves an enviable record to the “flunking element. George Anderson bequeaths his athletic record to Stanlev Thorburn. Henrietta Barendse leaves a crocheted bicycle to Irwin Laughlin. Bernice Beezely wills her perfect deportment to Ole Lonberg. Julius Berg wishes to leave his Shakespearian vocabulary to Gunnar Salin. Forrest Everitt leaves John Dalgity and Ray McCartney a ten year old cork. (Now boys don’t be too indulgent.) Helen Brandenberg leaves a hope that Tom Nelson may find another theme to orate on next term. Page Twenty-seven
