THIRD—To the Juniors, who. although they are as yet far inferior to us, have at least attracted attention, we leave cur dignity, our room, and the kind sympathies of Miss Wormuth. To these would-be scholars we bequeath as follows: 1. Edith King, the famous basketball star, leaves her uniform and reputation to Hilda Kelly. 2. Harold Green, being well over the measles, leaves his interest in Dr. Spongier to Somebody else. He has plenty of other interests any- how. Even Miss Pike thinks so. The other day she saw Harold in the corridor talking to Dorothy Gossner. ‘Well Harold, she said, How many girls have you? This makes three that I know of this year. 3. Mary Sinnett leaves her oral English assignment to Louise Van Denberg. 4. De La Vergne Mills bequeaths his springy walk (the sign of an athlete we suppose) to John Cornell. 5. Russell Horner leaves the use of his Ford to his younger broth- er, for next year (that is of course, if It hangs together that long and he doesn't overload it with that famous Terpentine meanwhile). 6. Arthur Weldon leaves to Bernard Thompson his books of Cicero and Math. He can’t seem to get rid of them otherwise. 7. James Gifford, never in a hurry, leaves his watch and the time of day to Bruce Root. 8. Marion House wills six Inches of her height and a few of those admired curls to Edna Catherine Moyer. 9. Maynard Hencle, sometimes called Georgia Washington for short, leaves his experience in dish-breaking, etc., to Mr. Getman. 10. Anna DeLyne leaves her reputation as a troublesome child to Vera Rice. 11. Frances Mawhinney and Genevieve McCarthy bequeath all of their freckles to Kenneth McWhinney. 12. Harriet Kratzer wills her comb to Dorothy Chapin, providing she joins the bobbed hair brigade' as it is called. 13. Helen Garrett bequeaths her knowledge of Alexander the Great to Edith Johnson. 14. Frances Virginia wills her generosity and personal charm to Martha Crook. I believe Frances must have gotten some of her politeness trom Mrs. Prudhon. They’re together so much and anyway they're both that dark-haired bewitching Fren.h type. Frenchmen are so polite.' You know the other day Mrs. Prudhon jammed into her desk and said Pardon me. Then she looked around sheepishly to see if anyone had heard her. Xo. Alexander Reed, having found great attractions in New York State, leaves his interest in the Virginias to Arthur Fellows. 16. Sherman Gilmore leaves his remarkable ability as an artist to Frederick Scars 17. Helen Gates leaves what is left of her books after cramming for Regents to Gertrude Maloney. 15. George Lewis bequeaths his ability to faint to Edward O'Brien. 19. Thomas Reider leaves his gift of gab and his quick motion to Clancy McNeil. 20. Doris Barney leaves her punctuality to Esther and John Clark. 21. Van Coe is noted for his forgetfulness which he leaves to Adria Gaylord. Van usually doesn't remember that there is school until about one minute to school time. Then he saunters in and smiles at the clock, satisfied that he's on time. 22. Dorothy Guess likes to take the part of hair-dresser. Just the other day she asked Homer Abbott if he wanted his hair combed. Homer looked startled and exclaimed, “Does it need it! V ell, Dorothy leaves this peculiar trait to Ellen Peterson. 23. Anna Hurley leaves her amazing power Helen Brown. 9 of concentration to
