24 THE TRIANGLE CLASS WILL. By WALTER Asn. the graduating class of January, gl, 1, 20, of sound mind t?J and judgment, do hereby bequeath the following prop- 'j 5':'L Sa' erty to the unfortunate class follow- ing us, and we do hereby appoint Mr. Hoyt as our legal representative and attorney 'with power to act unreservedly in our behalf. We, therefore, leave behind us to those said unfortunates the property left behind by the aforesaid graduating class, which property is to be divided and distributed by Mr. Hoyt as directed: The honorable Mr. Chappell bequeaths to Mr. Siemen his wonderful efficiency in Math. VII, providing said efiiciency only be used when some enterprising pupil takes up the whole blackboard on one proposition. To Mr. Wells, our most honorable President, Mr. Roberts leaves all his ability to 'fbawl out the class in general and one person in particular when a screw is reported missing from one of the seats in 317 during a meeting of the Seniors. Stirton, the little boy with the big head, relinquishes all right to its size and contents to Mr. Greene. It is very much doubted that Mr. Greene can take care of said head, but if any lack of care is noticed by our eagle-eyed executive, said executive should immediately make the aforesaid aspirant to knowledge re- linquish all right to said head, and see to it that it be bestowed on proper shoulders. C. Wolf, the money-getter, gives up all right to sign his name to checks and receipts to Mr. Brand. Also the deceased treasurer opens his heart enough to give his successor a piece of advice. Said advice cannot be given in public, so the heir will receive said advice by applying to Mr. Clark in Dugout 313 on Dead Man's Hill. The class of January '20, realizing that the aristocratic peer of Cass is almost extinct, do very graciously consign to Mr. De Vries, Mr. Lee's ability to represent Cass in the Style Show held semi-yearly at Hamtramck High School. We also give to Mr. De Vries the right to manicure his finger nails in any class where it is convenient, without fear of interference from any teacher. As Miss Costenoble's friend and boon com- panion, Mr. A. L. Lake, is also departing, we grant Mr. Gregorich the distinguished position of keeping her in good spirits fexternal spirits, pleasej. The position hereby bequeathed can only be held during good behavior, and in case Mr. Gregorich uses his stand-in with said teacher to procure an excuse, we have only to state here, that in holding this position he is upholding the honor of the deceased class and any misstep would lead to complete downfall and dishon-or. Mr. Mcllveen gives all his ability to smile at Mr.- Ray and tell him that his folks were away, consequently he was late for math., to anyone who has Mr. Ray for Math. To Gasser, Mr. Lightbody, the boy who earned the sobriquet Chick Harley, be- queaths his wonderful ability to make touch- downs for Cass providing he uses all the afore- said ability in the next game with North- western. Shaw, the only scholar of Terpsichore, is willing to sell his secret of how to learn to dance for a song, but here the dying class unanimously protests that the song must not be sung within a radius of five miles of school. Holzhauer relinquishes all right to look im- portant and dignified to Mr. Tozer. Here we may state that at first it may be hard for the heir to line up to the expectations of the de- ceased owner, but anything that is worth doing at all is worth doing well, also practice makes perfect, so we sincerely hope that the said heir will acquire the knack of looking important, in- side of a couple of decades. And now the honorable Mr. Elliott, having fulfilled the position of head of the TIUANGLE to his utmost, wishes to bestow this honorable position on Mr. Shiell. In fulfilling this posi- tion, it is the duty of the aforesaid heir to see that the TRIANGLE is kept on its lofty perch and if possible to elevate it still higher in its ranking with other magazines. Schimell leaves his wonderful ability to set up the switchboard in Room 100 to Alford Jones. Here the dying gentleman lingers long enough, before passing away, to give Mr. Jones a few words of advice: Never start a gen- erator without a field! Also Mr. Weingarten leaves his position of providing entertainment for the Seniors by imitating Caruso, to Mr. Henk. Said heir might avoid much confusion by having all loose ar- ticles removed from the reach of his audience, during his demonstrations. Also, the nearness of Death's hand to Mr. Dorb seems to have loosened the heart strings of that distinguished successor to Sanders to the extent of willing his entire store of mathe- matic knowledge to Lester Bather. Mr. Camp inherits Mr. Fickett's well-earned

THE TRIANGLE 23 electrical work on the building was to be done by the Thurman Electrical Company, and sure enough, there was old LaRoy himself arguing with his chief draftsman, Ed. Mayer, and Jos- eph Forman, layout man, as to whether the hole in the blueprint was meant for a light or not. Here, too, we saw Albert Haberer, director of the great enterprise, arranging the 542,381 drawings of the main floor. During the next few minutes we saw views of the great Atlantic Bridge which was being constructed by A. L. Lake Sc Co., who had em- ployed the J. W. Bennett Electric Co. to keep it lighted so that Raymond Voigt, the great athlete, would not collide with the massive platinum railings during his walk to London, which was to take place as soon as the bridge was completed. Steel for the framework was being transported from the Michalski Steel Co.'s mills. The Review closed by showing the Pharmacy Laboratories of H. E. L'Hote, the largest in the city. We were surprised that this lab occu- pied the 96th and 97th iloor of the Gurewitch Building. The Review over, the curtain rose and the spotlight disclosed our most famous tenor, Senior Chappell, who sang his latest song en- titled Why Do I Chase the Cars? the greatest hit since Jazz Baby. The first spasm over, we decided to leave. In the foyer we ran across our friend and classmate, Miss Janina Bronis- zewska, who had recently startled the world with her great pharmaceutical discoveries. On my way home I thought of the many things other members of our class had done. The paintings of Philo J. Holzhauer were mas- terpieces. Joseph King was a great doctor and I was a Professor of Chemistry at the Detroit Technical University, the outgrowth of the school from which we graduated just 25 years ago. I realize now, as never before, the value of the lessons and forewarnings of the teachers of the great school which fitted us most appro- priately for the tasks which we were to meet during our sojourn on this earth.

An Early Call The shortage of girls for the graduates of January, 1920, has caused much unhappiness among the members of the class. Being seniors, the members must look after the younger gen- erations. The January graduates, therefore, fore, issue a call for fifty or sixty pretty girls to accompany the graduating class of June, 1920, on their class parties and outings. P. S.-High School of Commerce, take heed. ' I. M. NoTT.

THE T reputation of being broke, but under strict orders from the deceased not to be in such condition when tickets are being sold to carry out school activities. And as a will is not complete without an unknown heir we have in one graduating class an object which cannot be left to anyone as yet. We, therefore insist that our executive be present at the first meeting of the graduates of June '20 and bestow upon the most promis- ing individual Mr. Bloom's ability to interrupt meetings. To the rest of school the class wills the Hall of Fame, said Hall to be dusted out once every month. Also we bestow upon the said un- fortunates the Rogues' Gallery and our bound- less good will. To the teachers of Cass, who have watched us grow and develop in our untiring efforts in quest of knowledge, and also excuses, we be- queath our utmost love and devotion. Therefore we, the graduating class of Jan. '20, do hereby appoint as our legal representa- tive and executor Mr. Hoyt. We hereby sign our names and aflix our seal this 29th day of January, 1920, A. D. CLASS 1920. Witnesses: Ma. ALLEN. Mn. BAKER. THE TOP OF THE SECOND HILL -if If 'Q HIS title may seem without a point, and yet there are three hills in the path of a scholar. The first hill is WIT-cf comparatively small when looked back upon, for it is the hill we climbed in grammar school. From the top of the hill we climbed in grammar school may be seen another hill, and a close observer may discern large ruts and holes. But, luckily, the jubi- lant graduate of the eighth grade does not pause to scan the hill closely. He plunges down to the bottom of the second precipitous hill and begins to wend his tortuous path up its seeming unscalable sides. We can use this hill as an exact example of a pupil's climb from Freshman to Senior, and the helping branches of the bushes are synonymous to the help re- ceived from our teachers. They are continually helping some struggling lad to the top of the hill. A boy who receives advice and help from a teacher should be envied and not jeered at. But keep in mind that age-old saying, God helps them that help themselves. By substi- tuting Teachers for God, we have the motto of a teacher. And now having grasped all of the stretched, Rl ANGLE 25 inviting branches to help ourselves over the rough spots, we have gained the top of the second hill. As we look down we see a dark abyss. Beyond this dark chasm rises another steep hill. How many of us will enter the dark chasm, never to emerge again? This is a question that is impossible to answer, but let us hope that not one of us will content our- selves with having climbed the second hill. There is yet another hill, steeper, longer and with less shrubbery, to help us over the rough and slippery parts. Here we will meet the real tests. After achieving the top of the third hill we will be of some use to the world and our community. CAN YOU IMAGINE? Elizabeth Allen not looking trim. W. Ash with some coin.
