Page Twenty-two CADUCEUS, CHICO SENIOR WILL Bu JOE DONOHUE We, the Senior Class of 1923, are sorry that it is necessary, by the Hand of Fate and the complaints of the fac- ulty, for us to leave. In leaving, we know that it will not be possible for the lower classes to fill the immense vacancy, that will be left, either in scholarship or in athletics. But we will leave the following properties, our only treasures, hoping that they will be ac- cepted and used to good advantage: To the Juniors we leave the school spirit that has been carl 1ed by the Sen- iors, knowing that they will try at least to keep up the good work that has been done by the class of '23, To the Sophomores we leave our knowledge, knowing that they need it, To the Freshmen we leave the chance to make something out of the schoolg To the baseball team the clas.s of '23 bequeaths any thing that they can find, To Tommy Costar the '23's wish to bequeath their fondest regards, To Mr. Ferguson we wish to leave our admiration and respect, To the faculty as a whole we leave the best wishes and hopes that they will sometime find a class to equal that of 19233 To the Board of Education we leave the school as good as when we en- tered itg To Claude Stover every one leaves something, but we are not able to print it here, To the coming generations we leave the chance to use the shops and gym- nasium and swimming tank, To Red and Gold we leave only a name with the departure of the '23 class. I, Hallie Caywood, leave my long arms to Skinny Glendenning, knowing that he will use them well. I, Sam Cheyney, ably assisted by Du Bois Eastman, leave my political ma- chine with the hope that somebody will get it into motion. I, Crabbe Wheeler, leave what pub- licity I received in the Red and Gold to Dean David. I John Stevens, leave my wonderful smile to Leona Dickey, who has oft re- ceived it. I, Louis Hicks, who have starred as a true lover, leave my face to anyone as foolish as I. I, Mary Myrtle Steele, bequeath my ability to sing to Alice Hicks, so that the young lady may be an all-around performer. I, Joe Donohue, leave, and am glad to get away. I, Cuyler Luman, leave my ability to play tennis to Blockey Mecum. I, Orval Patterson, leave my power over the students to Earl Bacus, hoping that he will use it well. I, Kenneth Cooke, leave to the girls the riddle of finding out Why they call me Sailor Boy. I Homer Sisk, leave to Pagie Mulkey Vina and Durham. I, Jack McPherson, leave anything that I have to anybody that desires it. We leave, last, but not least, because we have put in four years of time. Hereunto We set our seal this First day of May, 1923. SENIOR CLASS OF CHICO HIGH SCHOOL, 1923. Witness: SPARK PLUG, BARNEY GOOGLE.
