I wanted revenge on that stuff called hair and I thoiight the only way to do it was to shear sheep. A little farther on we were startled by .a loud noise and a loud crash. Turning around we saw Wfarren Allison climbing out from under the VVreck of the Hesperusf' as he called his new aeroplane. We soon arrived at our destination and were greeted by the cheery voices of Mr. and Mrs. Harold White, the former actors -of Antony and Cleopatra. They had been married after the show in which we had seen them act, and were to be our housekeepers. The first thing she said after we got there was, HI-Iarold, put on your hat! Yes, Dear, I would like to but I think my hair will grow better if I don't ,put it on, and again it mightgive me brain fever. , Every evening we would sit out on our veranda and gaze on the glittering building which took the place of our old High School building, and a feeling of sad- ness would come to us -to think that the people of Chico would not send the old building to Washington, D. C., as a curiosity. It was in this abode that we would spend the rest of our happy days of sweet memories of the good times we had when we went to the old C. H. S. ..15..

As We entered the factory We noticed an energetic man Working over the badly bent hulk of a beautifully shaped Ford Limousine which he was trying to straighten up into an aeroplane body and motor. We immediately ran over and shook the greasy hand of our old' friend Warren and began to ask him about his factory. He said he was working on an anti-gas-saving plan as he was also with the Stand- ard Oil Company. He had also invented a perpetual motion machine, having received his inspiration from Elmer Troxelis mouth when he had introduced the per- formers of the Lyceum Circuit. After we had looked around a little vvhilelonger we excused ourselves and made our way to our miserable abode in the poorhouse. That evening all the old members of the Class of Eighteen who were in the employ of th.e poorhouse keeper met in the dining room, which was the old As- sembly Hall, and had a little entertainment. The per- formance vvas broken into by our .school mate, Marian Roach, vvho vvas fleeing from her husband, Professor Clifford Canfield. After the performance We were greeted by a delega- tion of Eighteeners who had raised a collection for us and 'had bought us a home in the outskirts of the prosperous city of Hog Springs. Un our journey to the magnificent five-room palace We were amazed to see our class-mate, Holmes Miller, shearing sheep.

High, School, of the Town of Chico, of the County of Butte, of the State of California, knowing that our end is near, for we already have one foot planted in the grave, and wishing' to make a just division of our valued properties among persons immediately connected with the school, being apparently of sound mind, but much disabled in body and generous disposition, do hereby make, publish, and declare our last will and testament: l. To the Trustees, we will and bequeath the school building, under the condition that they do not use a sliver of it for kindling wood until a new High School is built and in use. --1 WILL H. To the Teachers, we leave our thanks for the knowledge they have given us in the last four years, and also our sympathy for the loss they stiffer at our departure. Ill.. To the juniors, we bequeath all our brillancy in the U. S. History Class and also all the data written on the desks in any of the class rooms, hoping that by this means they will pass successful exes. However, we do not guarantee readable writing, but regretting that we haven't more to leave them as they are sadly in need of it, we hope that they will try to console and comfort the heart-broken faculty IV. To the Sophoniores, we will all the gum they can find sticking in conspicuous places and on the desks 6-.
