We, the class of 1928 of the Cissna Park High School, possessing neith- er judgment nor discretion, and facing the possibility of departure from the historic halls of this beloved institution of learning, find it fitting and proper that we throw off the cloak of childhood and extend to our successors the benefit gf the experience we have accumulated during four years of high school li e. Therefore, we do hereby make and declare this to be our last will and testament: We, as a class, collectively bequeath to all undergraduates our ability to strive ahead to a better goal. I, Oma Aeschliman, do hereby will and bequeath my ability as cheer leader to Avonell Hilt. I, Mary Dryden, do will and bequeath my skill as a bluffer to Ruth Zbinden. I, Ruth Leverenz, do will and bequeath my freckles to Lucy King. I, Eunice Frank, do will and bequeath my childish pranks and foolish notions to Anna Stiener. I, Rosella McCray, do will and bequeath my position as chief flapper of the class to Frances Whitaker. I, Leona I-Iasselbring, do will and bequeath my friendly feelings toward ministers to Ethel Salmon. I, Anna McCray, do will and bequeath my faithful old horse to Eva Brown. I, Hulda Knake, do will and bequeath my love for little men to Ruby King. f. I, Paul Reutter, do will and bequeath my skill as an artist to Carl Berg. I, Jesse Hofer, do will and bequeath my habit of visiting school to any one who can use it for better or for worse. I, Ralph Scott, do will and bequeath my ability as a smasher of femi- nine hearts to Ralph Schmidt. I, Earl Reutter, do will and bequeath my talkative tongue to Earl Brenner. I, Wilbur Eberhart, do will and bequeath my love-making ability to Delbert Pendergrast. In witness whereof we hereunto set our hand and seal this third day of April in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and twenty- eight. Signed: CLASS OF 1928.

T.: 153 REVIEW would hire this lawyer, ten times out of nine he would get OH free. After the trial I went up to him and congratulated him on his success. In return he asked me out to his home in the suburbs for dinner. As you may have already guessed I accepted the invitation. After a short ride on the suburban train we arrived. His wife came to greet us and to my utter astonishment it was Rosella McCray. We had a delightful meal and after- wards Ralph suggested that we go to the boxing match at Soldiers Field. There to our utmost satisfaction we witnessed Wilbur Eberhardt K. O. Gene Tunney in the third round to gain the heavyweight title of the world. After spending the night at my hotel I started out to sight-see in the opposite direction. Presently I came to the Salvation Army building and went in to give my contribution. Going up to a little energetic lady, who seemed to have a great deal of authority, to give my contributions, I almost fell over when I discovered it was my good friend and classmate, Anna Mc- Cray. I had quite a chat with her and then returned to the hotel. As I was rather tired out by these sojourns of mine I decided to spend the afternoon at the hotel, reading. I picked up the Tribune and scanned over it when a certain article caught my eye. It was about the distinguished journalist, Jessie Hofer and his wife, erste while Mary Dryden, who had just sailed for Africa to bag some big game and do scientific research work. I wished to see more of the city, consequently I went out to take a stroll after dinner. A fortune-telling booth attracted my attention and rather hankering to know who was going to be my wife, if I was to have one, I went in to have my fortune told. The fortune-teller seemed familiar, but as I could not place her I left the booth. As I left the booth an idea popped into my mind and, remembering Ruth Leverenz had taken the part of a fortune-teller in a play in high school, I hurried back to the booth. I learned that I was correct. She was Ruth Leverenz. By this time I had tired of the city and I left for my old home town, Cissna Park. I arrived in the afternoon and went into the restaurant for a drink. I asked the soda clerk what had become of Eunice Frank and Leona Hasselbring, of this locality. He informed me that the two young farmers that had just left the restaurant were their husbands. From this con- versation I learned that Leona and Eunice had married into good families and were prosperous farm wives. I went to the post ofiice and got my mail and then went to the hotel. A letter from my brother Earl, who was out in Australia catching kangaroos for the circus, was with the rest of the mail. He begged me to come and join him, and as I didn't have any- thing else to do, the next morning found me on the train for New York en route to Australia. I got off the cars at Broadway and started for my hotel. I stopped to stare at a picture in front of a large opera house which announced that Oma Aeschliman of the Civic Opera was to sing that after- noon. I decided to see my old classmate again even if it was just from the stage, so I bought a ticket and went in. After seeing Oma and hearing her sing I found out I didn't want to go to Australia after all. And four-thirty found me at the head of a long line of stage Johnnies at the rear entrance with a bouquet of American Beauties. nineteen .....:::EEfE5E5iifEEE:Z:2:1::::::::::::::::55EEEEE:::::::::::::Q5iE55555SEEE555555555 ..:::::::::::::: .:::.i' ::::I:::::::E.::.::'55E5:':::EEEq55S5iEE
