Here sits a future statesman great, On Whose shoulders perhaps shall rest The burden of his native state, While we look on with interest. HARRY AISTHORP Bobbed hair, cute clothes, winning smiles Louella has them allg Oh, if more girls were just like her Old Gloom would have a fall. LOUELLA ALBRIGHT Those taking ways which always play In his affairs of heart, May cause some tears, some sobs, some jeers But they're honest from the start. LLOYD ALBRIGHT Tribute, tribute, at thy feet, Gentle maiden so discreetg With thy talent, Future hold Thy deeds in history will be told. HELEN ALLISON Some say he shakes a wicked foot To syncopated tunesg Perhap-s a dancing master he will be Ere pass these many moons. VERNOR ANDERSON An honor card to her is staleg She never bothers with the average male Her time is spent in vvorks all staid: We fear she'll be a bachelor maid From choice. MABEL AMERMAN 9

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.

Her dark eyes hold a mystery deep, That puts her far apartg And though we're not allowed a peep, Here's tribute to her art. ESTHER ANDERSON Stuffy offices I disdain, The great outdoors shall hear my name 3 I'll study life in the open air And live with men who do and dare. WALTER ANDERSON I like good times and they like me, We are always seen together. You ask me if I'll always be Like this? Oh yes, forever! DOROTHY ARMSTRONG I hope that no one seeks a fortune in his face Till I at least have claimed my place, And though I truly don't believe the tale, They say I really am a handsome male. HUGH BELL For thoughts that are deep, ways that are neat, And deeds that always ring true, I'll call out your name and give you the blame For thinking of things that are new. CLAUDINE BELL Here is to our comedy maker. Sly is he as the slyest fakerg Though we like his clever tricks, We often wonder if his conscience pricks. CLYDE BOWMAN
