We are now several thousand miles high and as we view the depths of the ocean we see there Miss essie Lee Hayes and Miss Adrienne Priest who following out the doc trme of Emerson Be original have betaken themselves to a new Utopia the bottom of the sea They are there living in glass houses where neither mold nor dust doth corrupt nor thieves break through and steal After about an hours ride in mid air we approach New York We see beyond and towering far above that great Statue of Liberty a mighty tower which proves to be the Hamburger and Newspaper stand built up for the Trans atlantic Continental airship line by Mr William Day We buy a hamburger a newspaper and land just beyond in the heart of that great metropolis We find the streets unusually quiet and as we walk we m et a mighty funeral procession We are astounded to see on either side of the hearse the honorary pallbearers Ruth Lzgon and Queenelle Matthews who thus far through life have been inseparable We ask Who is dead3 and are told by a female policeman that That mighty leader of womanklnd, Miss Lula Clay. The woman who led women into their rights and who died of a broken heart because she couldn't catch a husband. Women. we know are taking the lead in all channels of life. We read in the newspaper, gotten in mid-air, that work has just begun on a great bridge to be built from St. Louis to the Moon by that trio of matchless and woman- wise engineers. Misses Hattie Pierce, Katie Fruit and lleen Wiener, who were inspired by that great household chemist. Miss Ethel Griffin, who declares that radium can be hauled to earth by the car loads and be given out as fuel to the poor. Oh! What will woman not accomplish? Miss Ruth Mitchell the worlds famous artist has for the last five years been mixing paint and mortar so that when the great bridge is finished she will color the moon and mould it to the shape of woman The world will have a new ideal The peaceful loving face of woman instead of the cursed face of man After boarding the train for Washington D C we are again astounded at the prominence of a woman conductor when in a stentorian voice Vera Phillips demands tickets As we disembark from the train at Washington Miss Zulah Hicks steps forward and calls Baggage? Taxi? and again to our amazement shoulders two trunks and walks off uncermoniously Oh' the power of woman' We board the taxi and are carried away to the White House We go in to pay President Esther Cummlngs a visit She seemed very glad to see us though burdened with the cares of her office Going into the Senate we were just in time to hear that eloquent speech of Senatoress Mary Davis of Ky.. which would rival Cicero, Resolved: That man's place is in the home. ln a few minutes she is opposed by Senatoress Sudie Letcher Farley from Utah, who maintains that men should be given a voice in the city affairs and no more. After so much mental exertion and believing a little recreation beneficial, we go out to the ball park where the New York cubs and Boston Red Sox are to play. We find that Miss Eugenia Griffith, that idol of the entire baseball world and rival pitcher of the Woman's League, is a leader of the Red Sox. We now board the wireless transic for Louisville. the method of transportation invented by that great electrical V. .

0112155 will By uecncllc Maflhcus We the class of nineteen hundred and fifteen having suffered boundless tortures during our forced attendance at the Barret Manual Training High School for four miserable years prodded and spurred along the so called flowery paths of knowledge by grim and merciless pedagogues of the before mentioned institution of learning fmd that our hitherto robust constitutions have succumbed to the awful strain of here in before mentioned agony together with the added msult of being compelled to enlighten the ignorant herd fi e the under classmen by choice and brilliant thoughts designated by said ignorant herd as ora tions and declamations therefore with admirable fore thought, we do here-in-after make our Last Will and Testament before our faculties begin to fail. We graciously grant the lofty abode of the Seniors commonly called the Senior corner to the juniors, all legal rights and titles we have hitherto-fore enjoyed, the right to edit an annual, and to have the big head for one brief and fleeting year: care of the Freshmen, and the important position as a shining example to the here-in-before mentioned ignorant herd. l, Esther Cummings, will my marvelous skill as a basketball player, especially in the art of guarding fin which l at least have successfully proven that I have discovered other means for my arms than those usually ascribed to them in the final chapter of all novels to Veleda Rothenhaefer l Mary Davis will my angelic and comforting dis pos1t1on to Ruth Nicholson I Elizabeth Harris bequeath my inordinate love of strong perfumery ten cent store trade mark preferred to Mr ames Van Winkle l, Carl Smith, bequeath my revised edition of Emerson s Essays, which l flatter myself Cand with reason toj as containing a number of awe-inspiring thoughts far superior to any of Mr. Emerson's, to the school library. l, Miles Crawley, bequeath my Latin pony on con- dition that it will be preserved with the same loving care and solicitude that l have always bestowed upon it, to Miss Abbie Anderson.
