Page Thirteen WILL OF THE HOTTENTOT fContinued from Page 3, Col. 31 our personal and valuable proper- ty, we do direct, authorize and em- power our executor, hereinafter named, to sell at either public or private sale, any remaining publi- cations which may be on hand, with the exception of two, one we be- queath to our principal, in remem- brance of the Staff of '36, and one to the succeeding editor-in-chief, of the Staff of '37, and the amount derived from such sale, we direct that our said executor shall apply to the payment of all our just debts, incurred within the last year, and funeral expenses and the cost of administration of our estate, and the balance, if any there be, we give and bequeath to the beneficiaries of our estate, to be equally divided between them, to be used for the sole purpose of furthering the issue at hand, pro- vided, however, that if the amount received from said sale be insuffi- cient to discharge our debts, funer- al and administration expenses as aforesaid, then that the hereinaf- ter named beneficiaries shall make good such deficiency, each paying an equal share, the amount of such deficiency to be chargeable against the devise and bequest made to them respectively by our last will and testament. As to such material things as it has pleased the gods to bestow upon our unworthy selves, we do dispose and distribute these as follows: Item: Our most noted and hon- ored editor-in-chief, Mr. Wildai James, does give and bequeath to his successor, the editor-in-chief of the Staff of '37, Mr. William Sack- ett,-first, because of the import- ance it has had in attaining his achievements, that famous and easily recognized, slow smile which, when put into effect, sets the girls' hearts a-flutter. We trust, Wil- liam, that with this much envied gift, you will be more generous than our admired editor, whose blushing glances this last year have been for only one very pretty little Senior. Mr. James also leaves to Mr. Sackett, who is as yet unskilled in the art of editor- ship, the distressing mental agita- tion and the long hard hours of la- bor that he has graciously and du- tifully performed, especially that of the past few weeks, together with the authority and power that such a position entails. Mr. James leaves behind, for Mr. Sackett's benefit, one Schaeffer's fountain pen minus the point, and which is incapable of absorbing ink, a one- half inch lead pencil which has O been in the custody of the school for five years, and a package of Wrigley's Spearmint to brighten any disheartening moments Mr. Sackett may experience while ar- ranging the issues for publication. Since Mr. James can no longer en- joy the dignity, pomp and super- iority of his social status, he be- queaths these, too, to Mr. Sackett, Item: Miss Katherine Robbins, our lovely and charming Assistant Editor gives and bequeaths to Mr. Harper LeCompte the full amount of her personality plus , as well as her gracious manner and the rare gift of saying the right thing at the right time. Miss Robbins also bequeaths to Mr. LeCompte her extended vocabulary of words for his disposal. We hope you will guard these gifts very carefully and esteem them most highly, Har- per, for you will find that they are invaluable in aiding you to some- times escape difficult situations. Item: Our modest little literary editor, Miss Alice Collins, who has wrongfully been nicknamed Goo- na , by those who know her well, implying a relationship to Alice, one of the Goon Girls, does give and bequeath to Messrs. Herman Stevens and Goldey Tyler, her Slow Southern habits, to be equally divided between them, so that nei- ther may be entirely overcome by the affliction. She also bequeaths to Mr. Jory Slaughter, her some- what Southern drawl-in order that he may acquire a happy me- dium in his enunciation. Item: Miss Grace Brannock Smith, our other diligent literary composer, leaves to Mr. William Newcomb, he of the studious re- nown, and Miss Phoebe Morse, her angelic face and innocent expres- sion, which will carry you far, Bil- ly and Phoebe, when the finger of suspicion points toward you. Item: Miss Marjorie McKnight, our editor of humor, bequeaths to Mr. Calvin Slacum, her successor, the ill-will of several students for publishing their guarded secrets, also two rotten tomatoes and one grapefruit which said students heaved at her and fortunately missed. She also leaves him the privilege of becoming another Win- chell with the able assistance of his Girl Friday , Miss Elizabeth Rue. Item: To Misses Betty Robbins and Margaret Mowbray of the Staff of '37, Miss Virginia Mills gives an bequeaths her popularity with the male members of the fac- ulty. A very acceptable gift, eh what, girls? Mr. Alan Wilkinson devises and bequeaths to the male members of the Sports Depart- ment, his well-known athletic abili- ty, his famous auburn curls and his nickname of Reds , providing that you accept his freckles also. fAlan seems pleased- Good riddance of bad rubbish, he replies.J Item: Our assiduously industri- ous artist, Mr. Venable, does give and bequeath his school-girl com- plexion to any unemployed mem- ber of the Art Department of the Staff of '37 wishing to pose for Lux Toilet Soap Ads. I wonder who'll be the lucky one? Item: Mr. William Albert Brote- markle, Jr., commonly known as just Brotie , bequeaths to his successors, Miss Alva Walker and her assistant, Mr. Edward Peters, his remarkable debating ability so that they may be well equipped and prepared to stand up for the rights of the Senior Body next year, un- der the only condition that this gift be well taken care of, and prized most highly, and under any circum- stances they do not part with it. Item: To the Typing Depart- ment, because of a great desire to be absolutely perfect in their work, we bequeath all the worn-out type- writers and lead pencil erasers, with the understanding that they are to be loaned to whomever shall ask for them without regard to Race, Color or Previous Condi- tion of Servitudef' Item: To the Advertising Staff of '37, we leave the excellent sales- manship ability of our own worthy staH, which deserves the highest praise, and we sincerely hope you will have as much success as we have had this past year in secur- ing ads. Item: Miss Rowena Meredith, a member of the Junior Advertising Staff has pleadingly requested that we bequeath to her all the good looks of some member of the Se- nior Staff, in order that she may be Voted the Most Prettiestn of the Senior Class of '37, and it is with the greatest of pleasure, that we, in accord with her very earnest plea, pass on to her the blonde beauty of Anna Mae Warner. Item: Our energetic, peppy busi- ness manager from up North, where the temperature is below zero on the hottest of summer days, who has proved this year that Economy pays , does give and be- queath to her successor, Miss Doris Robbins, the full capacity of her northern brogue, together with her untiring energy and her willing- ness and desire to help others. With these bequeathments, Doris, you should be able to tantalize your friends, be of unlimited value to those about you and win the high esteem and respect of your classniates as Olga has done. , Item: To the future proof-read- THE ARCADE THEATRE The Class of 1936 See the shows that we have coming WED. and THURS., June 17-13 Bette Davis and George Brent in The Golden Arrow MON. and TUES., June 22-23 Joe E.

Page Twelve CARING FOR THE BABY WHEN YOU ARE BUSY DOING SOMETHING ELSE Most everyone says that babies are the most cunning, sweet, amus- ing things in the World. Well, to be agreeable I'll admit that they can be cunning, sweet and even amusing but I will also say that they can be quite the opposite. Every time anyone says such things about the young rebels, I could find the greatest delight in asking if he had ever had the op- portunity to tend one. I haven't had the privilege of being a nurse- maid, but just let me tell you that when you have a darling little baby brother with curly hair, or a beau- tiful little blue-eyed darling for a sister, then you find out how sweet they can be and just how triiiing and disgusting they can be, too. I happen to have a most wonder- ful little blue-eyed brother and every time I walk down the street some one will say, Oh, aren't you so proud of him? Whom does he look like? Don't you love to tend him? My answer is usually yes, but ohl, they should be around home sometime when I have strug- gled several hours with a trial bal- ance in my bookkeeping as it has a mistake of two cents, several dollars and often greater amounts. About the time that I get at the point where I would like to put the difference in my pocket, mark a hundred on my paper, then hand it in to the teacher next day, the baby has decided that he is thor- oughly disgusted lying in that crib and sets up a howl to be picked up or maybe he has lost his pacifier, or he has hidden a toy and can't find it. You sit there a While and then remember that mother has gone out or is in some other part of the house. Finally you get up and fix up the trouble yourself. Then again just go ahead and pick up a nice love story or a mys- tery and get to the most exciting part of all. The murderer has a pistol raised ready to shoot the hero when he becomes aware of someone watching him from be- hind and then there's a shot, not in the story, but right in your own home, right beside you, that nearly makes you jump out of your hide. Frightened half to death you jump up ready to run anywhere just so you get out of the house only to find that your imagination has got away from you and it was only the baby shouting and squealing for someone to come and amuse him. What can you do? Mother left you to care for him and if you don't obey his command he cries --.THE--ilflT.T.EH.T QTL-- CLASS WILL CLASS PROP!-IECY lContinued from Page 2, Col. 41 ton, Virginia Mills' and Alan Wil- kinson's athletics to Betty Robbins and Billy Wroteng Clarence Spear's height to Dicky Wells.

You put him in the crib and then steal quietly away from him anticipating the thrill of reading the rest of that mystery. You pick up the book, but no, don't be in a hurry because the baby's not asleep and is again de- manding that you entertain him. So you people that so love babies never fuss with anyone, when he says babies aren't so sweet be- cause he has probably had the great honor bestowed upon him of caring for the darling when he wasn't in the best of humor, and he himself had interests elsewhere.

And the ofiicers of the organiza- tion, Are listed under here. Jeanette Brannock as Secretary, The Treasurer is Clara Bradley. And all of these ofiicers, Will help the nation gladly. Shirley Harding is always right, Anna Jean Keene is right, too. So these two ladies are always willing, To do their bit for you. Harold Harper is a church man, He is always against repeal. Arthur Wheatley and Lenora Todd, Are working against this with great zeal. Dorothy Lee Brannock, I saved her for the last. For in the year of '36, She was the pride of the class. I've come to the end of my journey, I've come to the end of my trail, None of the classmates are in trouble, And none of them are in jail. This is a glorious finish, To my trip through the world. The boys are all great guys, And the ladies are all great girls. And now my trip is finished, And I must go back to work. But the thoughts of the old class, In my mind will lurk. The class was always happy, And striving all the way, And we can thank the Lord above us, They are all with us today. Now as the sun goes down in the West, And the stars come out at night. The World around me is darkened, Save only the broad moonlight. As I lie in the soft grass, Beside a tree so tall. The memories of '36, I can dimly recall.

The student body appreciated this opportunity to listen to such a well-informed individual who has had such wide experience in news- paper work abroad. WE VISIT EUROPE lCcntinued from Page 1, Col. 41 it that they maintain the barbed wire fence between the two coun- tries? To keep the sheep from straying? Of course the Russians and Rumanians are friends. Only recently Russia started broadcast- ing propaganda programs near the Russia-Rumania border. King Carol heard of these and estab- lished a broadcasting station so powerful as to drown out the Rus- sian programs. And Greece, poor old Greece, just as slippery as ever. Greece has just skipped out of one revo- lution and will slip into another. fQuoted from Mr. Ramsey's ta1k.J We were next introduced to Italy. Italy, the land of sunshine-and Mussolini. Mussolini has a dream. He just got out of one nightmare and is ready to go into another. His ambition is to develop an Ital- ian like in the Mediterranean and ian lake in the Mediterranean and into an Italian sea. Mussolini is not crazy, he is mad. Youth in Italy is being trained. For Peace? Although there are many in Italy who are outwardly Fasclsts, beneath their black shirt is a red one. Then we were given an insight into Germany. Hitler is a May- pole, a mouthpiece. Hitler is a Catholic although he does not work at it very well. Herr Hitler was not the one who started the move- ment against the Jews. That started with Bismark. At that time Jews could be in the army but could not rise to the position of an oiiicer. When asked what he thought of Hitler as a man, Mr. Ramsey stat- ed, I try to be a gentleman. I would not be familiar enough with the American language to use it in its natural form. He is not the type of man I'd like to run around with. Do European nations want peace? Of course they want it, but they want their kind of peace. And what is Mr. Ramsey's solu- tion to the intriguing problems now confronting Europe? He stat- ed, Stop glorifying warg it's had a chance. Let us glorify inter- national relationsf' Emphasize four points, Economic, society, race and religion with education. Education without religion is a mirage, religion without education becomes superstition. So, in his excellent variegating style Mr. Ramsey conducted us through the turmoil of European affairs and even told us of a Mace- donian honeymoon. He gave us a graphic view of the European sit-
