Art. 4. To Miss Wormouth we leave a dictaphone which, for the benefit of certain students, will constantly blat: “The first bell has rung.” Art. 5. To the Faculty in general we leave the following questions, to be answered by them: What will the girls do now without John Adsit and his Ford? 4 Just what rank did Mr. Cary have in the navy? Who conceived the idea of having quarterly tests? • Art. 6. The following students dispose of their personal possessions as follows: Jack Kelly leaves his famous horse laugh to be recorded by the Victor Talking Machine Company and given as a special program in assembly. Peg Waiters leaves one cowboy suit (slightly worn) to Katherine Farkas. Kenneth Reinhardt, our class president, leaves all unpaid senior bills to the beloved Juniors. Marion Crandon leaves her 4H Club uniform to Elizabeth Peters. Donald Higgs leaves the request that the A P store be moved to Room 106 for the benefit of students taking their lunch. Evah Mae Matthewson leaves her famous giggle and love of the Halls of B. H. S. to Peg Gere. • Francis Scabold leaves his football uniform to Margaret Farley. We don't know what Margaret could use it for; but Francis is such a kind- hearted chap that we couldn’t refuse him. Gertrude Jones leaves her smiles to air out the school building on rainy days. Maurice House leaves several girls with broken hearts to be taken care 4 of by Sidney Luce. The ConneM girls leave their curls to be made into wigs for the next High School Minstrel.

We know that Richard will blush with pleasure at this unexpected surprise. Thehna Smith leaves her shadow (Estelle Browning). Russell Furman leaves his favorite Friday night song. “Tell Me To- night-Will I Be Eligible?”, to Philip Cooper. Mabel Mercer leaves Russell ........... That certainly is a big sacrifice on Mabel's part. John Yoorhees leaves In’s ability to construct miniature ships to Win- ston Baker. Now “Prof. will be able to do something constructive in study hall as well as amuse the girls. Dominica Cenci leaves his place in Room 103 to Richard Price. Arres Henderson, be’ng of a jealous nature, refuses to will Clayton to the care of any unsophisticated Junior. The Adsits leave the distinction that the B. H. S. faculty has graduated five cousins. Fritz Cre o leaves his crutch and bed-romn slippers to be placed in the glass case along with General Summer’s sadd’e. Dorothy Palmer leaves her boyish haircut to Maud Marvin, provided that she cut her curls. Roger Diffenderfer leaves his cello to Frank Harrington. We expect great musical ability from Heb. Florence Tyler, our only woman driver, leaves the request that anyone desiring driving lessons please refer to her. Francis Van Wie leaves the request that everyone call him just plain “Speedy . Jeannette Stryker leaves the Juniors the privilege of exoloring the in- tricate depths of the library with the friendly advice that they should pad their shoes and cover tbeJr mouths with adhesive tape James Dunham and Edward Fauler, two country lads, leave the request « that Mr. Elden place several couches, comfortable armchairs, a good supply of current magazines and some breakfast food in the bicycle room for the convenience cf tardy students.
