T H E T A N A G E R Thirty-,ggven Miss McGinnis Cno relation to the Thane oi Biifckleyvillej, is given an eight-stringed guitar. On this she will play cowboy ballads to accompany herself. She ought to go places! We gladly give to Miss Steuerwald an excellent ,motor vehicle, a Star, the vintage of 1921. With this she will attempt to 'break all existing speed re- cords 'between Chatham and Spencertown. If she succeeds, she will be given a glorious home-coming by the Mayor CSup. Daleyj and tiring off of squirrel guns by the local ni'mrods. Miss Winters is to be given a Victrola record, How to Stop Gigglin-g in Two Easy Lessons . This should prevent such uncalled for responses as, Yes, I have 'It' by Elinor Glynn, hee-hee-hee-hee. To Mr. Pinkerton we show our good wishes by giving him one sailor suit, a castle in Ethiopia, and an iron derby. In Witness Whereof, we have hereunto set our hands and seal this first day of May, 1937 . CLASS OF 1937 DOROTHY DENNIS, Secretary The above instrument, consisting of four pages, was on the date hereof signed, sealed, published and declared by the said testator, The Class of 1937, as and for their Last Will and Testament, and we at their request, in their presence and in the presence of each other, have hereunto set our hands as witnesses thereto.

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.

Thirty-eight T H E T A N E R Qde to C. H. S. The study hall resounds with noise. From some of our overly frolicsome boys- 'l'here's Buddy with Baker and Doolie, God bless 'em And Creighton and Miller and possibly Spickerman. There are Whoops from Munsey, and yells from Ostrowsky A mouse-like murmur from Harriet Crosby. And once in a while an ejaculation From Dorothy Dennis, what a sensation! Of course there are Alamillos and llinsses Who in coming to school have to jump over fences As they live in the open country so wide Where friend Charlie Wyman is wont to ride On moonlight nights with Miss D. by his side. Now here's a girl who calls herself Molly, But to us who know her it's truly folly llecause the name she is carefully guard-ing ls really Mary Elizabeth Harding. Now to Chatham Center on a little trip. To the home of the Petrys-Tootie and Kit, There's Andy Van and his bosom pal, Red , Vfhat hair of O'Connell's would raise the deadj But let's be off to East Chatlfam way NVhere some of 'tour boys are pitchin' hay: There's a couple that make a picture Forsoothl King Van Deusen and VVillie Pitcher. But who is that lad in the field over yonder? It 'pears to me like Farmer Ostrander. And who is that whois chewing her gum? She's getting her VVadsworth Qthat's a punj. On, on, up to Canaan to the land of honey, VVhere the Hatches run free, as well as the money. There's a girl named Brady who talks of horses, Oh! If she only knew how that bores us. And speaking of this Canaan town l-Iere are two girls of fine renown Neither of these is tres contrary Of course, it's Florence and little Mary. Back! Back! To where the railroads whistle Past the home of oneg called Everett, Cecil. Qn through Chatham, down to Ghent- VVhere there lives a handsome young gent Oh! him he thinks the world is hard on, I'm sorry, Hank, I beg your Barden- VVe pondered if Ghent would have a mayor- Well, how about VVilber, or Calvin Thayer? As that hamlet at present holds our thoughts, We must mention the narme of Lena Staatz.
