Tmffy-six T H E T A N A G E R Mr. Leslie is given one year's leave of absence to rest up from some of his boys' -music classes-also one dead key on the auditoriulm piano to hit during assembly. Mr. Kufs fthat funny mansj will be shipped four dictionaries of Quaint and Obsolete VVords in order that the desk in his ofiice', may be complete- ly buried. Miss Durrant is to be given some decent typewriters, so horrible language will not assail her ears from the direction of the typing room. To Mr. Benson we bequeath a special non-melting collar, which will not recede under the Horid reddening of his neck when questioned by some fair damsel-and also a self-explanatory Atomic chart so he won't be questioned a thousand times each day as to what said chart means. To Mr. Becker, or our good neighbor joel, we wish a most speedy recovery and hope that he will be back keeping the home fires burning next year. To Miss Morris we leave a fully equipped reading room in which to hold History C classes so that they may better enjoy the latest tabloid murder mysteries. VVe also offer her congratulations for being chosen one of the most popular teachers in the school. She deserves it! Miss Ashley is bequeathed a motto Cplus gilt framej entitled Silence Is Golden , to be placed in the Latin room and to be taken with her when she goes to Study Hall, so that she will not disturb students with sudden ejacu- lations in regard to removing papers from the floor, etc. Miss Kelley is to receive a booklet on the correct way to Dissect and Tri- sect Frogs and Worms in Regards to Their Geometrical Appearances ! -and we hope that she doesn't blush when she gets to the frog's legs. Mrs. West is to be given a stove on which to cook suppers in order to in- duce Commercial students to stay late-also two unruly Orangoutangs to re- place Howie Ploss. Mrs. NVright is to receive a mirrored instrument to attach to her head so that she may see in back as well as in front. This should prove a great bene- fit in preventing students from escaping through the back study hall door during her sojourn in that room. Miss Weis is bequeathed a few surrealist drawings which may be aptly entitled, Design I Project . She is also given a collection of rattles, teething rings and other playthings with which to fill the case in the drawing room. fYou know, the one with the toy truucks, etc.j These will not only help no end as objects d'art, but may also amuse Alvah Underwood next year.

Mrs. Magee nous donnons the book, The Effects of an Overworked Body , or The Dangers of Too Much Homework on Growing Children . Mr. Aldrich's legacy is a bell, which he may suspend from his neck, the better to announce when he is out on one of his scouting expeditions. This will hamper the precise timing of his appearance. To Miss Dardess we bequeath the indispensable book- The Care and Control of Children , so she may better combat and subdue Bob Scofield in Study Hall next year.
