L'AXXIMRE Par e Twcn ty-on HESS ELIZABETH WALLACE Besse, a belle from the plains beyond Sigel came to B. H. S. to obtain knowledge on how to get rich (ie). Well she soon found it in the class of ’22, but finds it quite difficult to get wholesale, so she is gaining little by little by love. Besse has a general knowledge of most things, but more specific some day, she says she will have it. We suggest one way to get her desire is to take up Home Economics. EUGENE WHITEHILL Beany boasts an everlasting good nature. That is the way to make friends, isn’t it, Gene? And oh, did you ever see this boy pitch a baseball game, and he was a star on the old Reserves in basketball. GENEVIEVE WILSON To tell of Genevieve would take quite a while, As for her classmates, she always has a smile. And although we must say good bye, And leave the school with many a sigh, Thoughts will often come to our mind, Of Genevieve quiet, studious, and kind. RICHARD WILSON If Dick Wilson were king, no one would ever weep, for if you want to see the best example of youthful' happiness and joy in life, look at this young man. It is a fact that if any teacher ever wanted to get in an argument she never picked on Dick, Ask Miss Stewart. A TERRIBLE BLUNDER Evans—Did you hear about Swindell last Sunday? Deibler—No, what was doing up at Harsh’s last Sunday? Evans—This wasn’t up at Harsh’s; this happened down at the Methodist Church. You see, everything was going nice and quiet like, when all at once the organ began to play, ‘Rock of Ages’, and Swindell thought it was America and took off his hat. Miss Hamilton—Why dp authors say: “A smile crept over her face” ? Sam Moore—Because they were afraid if it went much faster it might kick up some dust.

As editor of the Owl, and originator of the year book, he has made a name for the class, as well as himself. Stolz is our entry for true ambition. DONALD SWARTS Don was vice-president the first three years and has always stood out in class affairs. His ability as pianist in the High School Orchestra is worthy of no slight mention. ELLWOOD SWINDELL Swede is a student of great class fame. He is a star of the Basketball field, and the friend of a fair maiden. He is liked by all his class mates, and everyone else.

MARY THRUSH Quiet, but charming is this young lass, We are proud to have her in our class; She has been with us only a year, And when one learns to know her, She’s a little dear.

Page Twenty-two J AWTAFltE .X (Class mm We, the members of the Class of 1924, do make and publish this, our last will and testament, hereby revoking and making void former wills by other classes at any time heretofore made. As we are leaving our beloved High School, it is time to bid Farewell to all the remaining Classes and associates. To our Junior friends we shall now will a few of our highly prized possessions. We, as a whole, do now order and direct that the annual Washington Trip which was legally prohibited to our class, shall not be null and void for the class of 1925; that no law or doctrine of this institution shall prevail; that all their desires shall be granted to them upon their graduation. We give and bequeath unto the Juniors, our Class Key which will unlock the hidden treasure of good grades, for the coming year, and convey to all classmen the note made by the faculty that all payments of principal and interest on the bequeathed grades shall be delivered and transferred by the said faculty. We hand over to the Juniors our lease on the upper floor of the New School Building, especially because we, the Seniors had the honor to be the first class to occupy the new High School Building. To the Juniors we give our wishes for the best of luck with the French book “Colomba”. No revised edition in English shall be used unless their lives are heavily insured. We give and bequeath to the Juniors our Good Will and Authority, may they fulfill the obligations and responsibilities of a Senior Class. To the Sophomores we bequeath the advice that they shall live up to the high standards which our class has set and lived up to. May the greatest success follow them through their remaining years in Brookville High School. To the Freshmen, we loyaUy advise them to put away their kites, whistles, balloons and other children’s toys. It is now time for them to assume the airs of sophisticated Sophomores. These school possessions are now legally the possessions of the coming Senior Class. The following is each Senior’s individual bequest : Charles Park gives and bequeaths his noted art in music to Frank Miller. George Mitchell wills his powers of concentration to “Ash” Galbraith. Esther Finch leaves her towering height to Audrey Burns. Elizabeth Cochran honorably gives her art in dancing to Wayne Park. Frances Clark gives and bequeaths her noted quietness to Florence Doran. Dick Wilson leaves his unceasing “pep” to Cliff. Lowry.
