S. went to Washington. NORMA-Qexcitedlyj- Betty, do you mean some of those chaps who hung out of the windows of the Department of Justice building and talked with us ? BETTYmf'The same, and maybe we didn't have some time discussing the happenings of those three days. HARRY L. Cdreamilyj- Washingtonl What scenes those words recall. ALEX. Z.- Say, do you remember the dance which the Roebling bunch tried to pull off the last night in VVashington? There was only one thing that kept it from being a successfl VVILLIAM S.-HW'hat was that? ALEX. Z.-f'The chaps. I never knew that two women could get along with so little sleep. FRANCIS M.- Do you remember the wise crack which one of those south- ern lads made? He asked the waiter if the ham was cured? fYes,' answered the waiter. 'Well,' said the lad, 'it must have had a re- lapse'. VV. R.- Change the subject. Even the thoughts of ham makes me sick. F. M.- VVho ever said that school days were one's best days certainly knew what he was talking about. l like to recall the things which we did. HUGH M.-f'Say, do you remember how we disposed of our possessions before we left school? I. A.-HDO you remember Mrs. lVIunson's Virgil Class? They willed their lockers to the Juniors to be used as stables to keep their pon- ies in. W. R.- Do you remember Bill Thomas? Wasn't he mad when we willed him a back as straight as Arthur Holzbaur's? H. A.- Have any of you heard anything from B. H. S. lately? I am wondering how that system of student government which we willed them worked out. Don't you remember we left it in charge of per- sons who thought they were proficient in all things-Marjorie Eaton, Betty Chew and Edmund Steele. ELLA BURR-f'What were some of the other things which we willed? I seem to have forgotten. BETTY K.- Oh, we willed Arthur Peterson's popularity to Warren Manny to Bill Rinker, all the troubles of a Senior president, and to Frank Cook, what was left of our old check books. To the faculty we willed our best wishes and sympathies. Poor things, they never understood us. DORETTA- Don't forget the Freshmen, Bettys to the Soph, we willed the privilege of showing the Freshmen how insignificant they really were. VVe hope they succeeded.
