It Senior Class Will behooves the members of the class of 1927, upon the sad and solemn occasion of their exit from the ranks of Carey Hi to leave a will, their last testament, to their most dear schoolmates, who remain behind: 1. We, of this class, realize that, as dignified Seniors, we have constantly Hlorded it Il. III. IV. V. VI. VII. VIII. IX. X. XI. XII. XIII. XIV. XV. XVI. XVII. XVIII. XIX. XX. XXI. XXII. XXIII XXIV. XXV. over our inferiors, and since the privilege has been our most precious of rights, we openly and big heartedly, bequeath it to our successors, the Juniors. To the Sophomores, we leave the customary privilege of selling hot dogs at the foot ball games, next fall. To the Freshmen, we advise, Do unto next year's Freshies as has been done unto you. Upon our beloved faculty, we bestow our most humble sympathies together with a card of thanks for granting us the benefit of the doubt. To Hilda Jacob, Eugenia Henry begrudgingly leaves her position as nurse maid for little Johnny Winans, Jr. To Robert Holden, Fritz Kohmann leaves his ability to tell naughty stories. Florence Davidson and Eloise Robinson leave to Lucile Perkins a little volume of hints on, How to Manage a Man. Donald Kurtz and Charles Kentfield hand on to Cora Miller their ability to draw pictures of 'Bathing Beautiesf To Ruth Dunn, Ruth Ewing bequeaths her gift of gab. To Carl Johnson, Willis Nye leaves his skill in supplying excuses for absence. Elsie Criger willingly offers a few pounds of her slight overweight to little Lois Helms. Carl Smiley presents his precious pocket flask to Quentin McKee. Merle Weaver and Elizabeth Myers leave Cretora Kinsinger and Madaline Pipes their respective golden hair, as gentlemen prefer blondes. Upon the trophy shelves of C. H. S. Russell Wickiser places his hand-painted bass drum. Clayton Shuman surrenders his ready wit to Dean Ruehle. To Dale Krebs, Pauline Stiner resigns her ability to tell bed-time stories. Sheiks, Bland and Ogg, leave to Karl Crumrine their pull with the wimin. Edward Feck and Hilda Fox present Robert Holden with their gentle shyness and radiant blushes. Leslie Newcomer hereby bequeaths a couple of his favorite day dream pos- es to Charles Spitler. Miriam Ha1'shberger and Marian Beebe leave their boyish bobs and stick o' Black Jack to Jennie Steen. Craig Hollopeter says Martha King may have his trusty Bicycle. Fairy Ward and Ruth Otto bestow their sweet, simple smiles for the serious and studious Doris Weaver. Ralph Snyder bequeaths Kathryn Thom both A's he received while in High School. Alfred Gardner leaves Russell Ward a foot or two of his su1'plus height. Lastly, we urge Mr. Palmer to keep up the spirit by stressing moral Vic- tories in chapel, and to tell his future classes some of the jokes that made our sides ache.

Ci9JClVtWtD Cfitiw iif r History of the Class of 1927 Away back in September of the year 1913, a group of little fellows and timid girls, started in the primary grades of the schools of Wyandot County. On and on through thcse elementary grades they went until they found that eight years had passed. When September of the year 1924 dawned these same children now grown tall approached what meant to them four more years of happy school life. On their first day in high school one was awe-stricken to find that there were so many in the same agony of embarrassment-boys and girls from far and wide. From the public school came Craig Hollopeter, Donald Kurtz, Pauline Stiner, Martha Spencer, Mayme Lanker, Marian Beebe, Elsie Bloom, Levaun Wisner, Eu- genia Henry, Mary Black, Alfred Gardner, Theresa Hines, Lucille Perkins, Dorothea Hagley, Miriam Harshberger, Marie Holden, Carl Smiley, Pauline Dipert, Ruth Ewing, Paul Frederick, Earle Grooms, William Green, Maurice Hunter, Bessie Keckler, Mar- tha Krider, Laird Rickle, Harold Cheseb1'o, Florence Clark, George Clinger. From the parochial school came Raymond Dirmeyer, Elizabeth Myers, Blanche Lamberjack, Hilda Fox, Charles Thom, Edward Hirby, Romaine Hoff, Robert Long, Ralph Myers, Versa Orians. From the rural schools came Clayton Shuman, Elsie Criger, Cora Wolgamuth, Isabel Karr, Frederick Kohmann, Merle Weaver, Irene Jacoby, Gladys Dible, One even came from California, Joseph Cramer. In all there were fifty-one Freshmen. This bunch was as green as most Freshman groups and perhaps a speck greener. Yet in spite of this handicap, these youngsters got up enough pluck to have a really enthusiastic Freshman party. In the Sophomore year the class decreased in number. Those that fell out were Levaun Wisner, Gladys Dible, Pauline Dipert, Earle Grooms, William Green, Edward Hirby, Romaine Hoff, Maurice Hunter, Bessie Keckler, Martha Krider, Ralph Myers, Versa Orians, Laird Rickle, Harold Chesebro, Florence Clark, George Clinger, Joseph Cramer. Some new members were added this year. These were received most cor- dially as so many of the group had been lost. These were Nial Beck, Edward Feck, Dale Green, Fairy Ward, Ira Wentz, Delbert Fruth, Rubydean Vorhis, Paul VVilliams. Those that had fallen by the wayside when the time rolled around for the Junior year to begin were Joel Greek, Theresa Hines, Irene Jacoby, Robert Long, Nellie Sam- met, Martha Spencer, Charles Thom, Ira Wentz, Cora Wolgamuth, Delbert Fruth, Paul Williams. Additional membe1's were Eloise Robinson, Winford Ogg, Russell Wickiser, John Bland, Florence Davidson. This Junior year was a very active one. Two parties were held, five from the class made the debating teams, and others covered themselves with glory in athletics. At last the Senior year dawned. Those that were lost from the Junior year were Lucile Perkins, Rubydean Vorhis, Nial Beck, lVIary Black, Elsie Bloom, Dorothea Hag- lcy, Dale Green, Marie Holden. Although so many have been lost, the 1927 class is now composed of twenty eight members. Those that started together in the public schools are Miriam Harshbe1'ger. Donald Kurtz, Eugenia Henry, Craig Hollopeter, Ruth Ewing and Carl Smiley. Hilda Fox, Elizabeth Myers, Charles Kentfield started together in the parochial schools. The class feels most grateful to all who have been interested in it through all its trials and tribulations and who have helped it in any way to attain the rank of Sen- iors and graduates of Carey High.

CGJRMQTLD The Casting of a Horoscope All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely playersf, What is your pant in this drama '? ' As our High School career draws to a close, we, the class of 1927, look into the future with eager hopes, not unmixed with strange forebodings. Being curious concerning our future, we visited Professor Sage, a noted astrol- oger, who favored us with the following astrological report. As time and tide wait for no man. I see the years roll by, and the stars reveal thc year 1947. Alfred Gardner is a noted track coach at the Dayton Soldiers, Home, while his wife, formerly Ruth Otto, supervises the care of the inmates. Russell Wickiser is the discovercr of the shell-less peanut which is harvested monthly and grows already salted. Willis Nye has reached the height of his ambition by becoming an eminent lawyer. Eugenia Henry, a world-famed soprano, is condescending to receive a few pupils under the age of sixteen. Her motto is: Take 'em Young. Leslie Newcomer, president of the Onion Trust of Italy, intends to reside in Rome with his wife, formerly Merle Weaver. Craig Hollopeter, president of the Western Union Telegraph Co. is presenting a n1onop'ane to every messenger boy who does not require more than two hours time to deliver a message within a radius of one-half mile. Edward Feck and Fritz Kohmann are the owners of a chain of hotels including the Wallnut-Castoria located on Fifth Avenue, Adrian. Marian Bcebe and Miriam Harshberger, the Millionaire Timber Queens own large tracts of valuable timber in the Sahara Desert. This tract has been reclaimed by the irrigation schemes of Ralph Snyder and Carl Smiley who devised the method of getting water by radio. Donald Kurtz, world famous musician, is playing before all kinds of heads: crowned, uncrowned, bobbed and bald. Elizabeth Myers and Elsie Criger now head the women's party of this country. This party advocated the passing of a law restricting the length of hair on lap dogs to five inches, Pauline Stiner has become noted for her decisions as the first woman judge among the Kentucky mountaineers. Winfred Ogg and Charles Kentfield are famed as interior decorators. Their work adds a distinctive touch to every chicken coop in VVyand0t County. The chain of millinery stores belonging to Mayme Lanker and Florence Davidson set the style for women of all nations. They are now planning to set up business at the North Pole. Hilda Fox and Fairy Ward have succeeded where Edison failed. They are living a life of ease upon the dividends that their stock in the Cleveland Foundry Company brings them. This company makes iron cows that give only cream. An imposing country estate bears the following interesting information over its arched gateway: Charm School for Men , instructors Ruth Ewing and Eloise Robin- son. Strolling over the grounds are the two young ladies surrounded by a group ot' adoring young men. Among these is John Bland. Clayton Shuman was recently made commander-in-chief of the standing army ol' the District of Columbia and is trying to get a bill passed permitting the army to sit at least during meals. The sing-song voice of the Professor ceased. We heaved a heavy sigh and ceased to worry. Our fortunes were written in the stars.
