She looked as happy and gay as she did in her high school days. A copy of the Raleigh Times flashed before my eyes. A large headline dazzled me. Senator Allie Lee Graham leaves for Europe for two months. President Frank Kell and his private secretary Evangeline Hobbs leave on the same ship. I looked into a court room. A trial was going on. I rubbed my eyes and glanced at the platform. There stood the judge, Rufus Crumpler and a lawyer, Stuart Royal. The flames fliekered brightly then died low. Oh! what a beautiful room, and all those pretty dresses of all colors and designs. Who owned this beautiful department? Suddenly I saw a tag on the floor which read Madame Maria Hobbs, designer. Next I saw the Society Sheet of the State paper. I read, Miss Elizabeth Graham will ente1'tain next week in honor of a bride-elect, Miss Ma1'ia1111:1 Herring. The next scene was in New York. I saw a stage and on the stage was Alice Smith, an actress. She was singing Yes, sir, thatls my baby. A beautiful winding river loomed before me. A ear stood at the driveway, and there was a figure standing beside the car. From under a large hat peeped the smiling face of Bessie Mae Smith. A man-a tall handsome man-appeared at her side. He smiled and spoke and-they left. Wake up you sleepy head, and go to bed. You've been here for two hours nodding. I looked and saw my mother standing over me. t PETE BUTLER, Proplr ffl.

In ease they do find them, take advice from a class that has had experience and do not abuse them. 2. To the Sophomore Class we bequeath our many talents. May they be used to the best advantage, so that when the end is reached they may have in- creased ten fold. 3. To the Freshman Class who have gained so much wisdom and knowledge during tl1is year, we leave all our wit, with all the advice that has been given us during our high school course. SEe'r1oN III Students 1. Osborne Dunn wills to Elizabeth Finch his supply of chewing gum, which is not yet exhausted. 2. To Paul Moore, Thomas Landon wills the honor of being the class Shiek. 3. Smutt Smith leaves to Doe Crumpler all of her wit. We hope how- ever, that using it will not bring him so much trouble as it brought Smutt. 4. Allie Lee Graham leaves to Annie Laurie Bizzell her studious habits. 5. To Frances Darden, Elizabeth Graham wills her loving disposition and pleasant smiles. 6. Marianna Herring can spare only a little of the gold of her hair to Richard Herring, whose hair is trying to turn that color. 7. Frank Kell wishes to leave some of his modesty to Joseph Hubbard who has shown a need for it. 8. Louise Waller wishes to leave her sweet voice to some one whom she knows will appreciate it. After thinking seriously for some time she has decided to give it to Tremaine Finch. 9. To the President of the Class of '27, Bettie Herring gives you her very best wishes, and she hopes that you will have less difheulty in managing your class than she had in guiding the class of '26, 10. We have heard that Sallie Holmes Register wishes for curly hair, so Marcella Deal has kindly consented to share her beautiful locks with her, and hereby donates a permanent wave. 11. Pete Butler bequeaths his art of Hswect-talking the teachers to Thelma Robinson. 12. We will Edward Britt, Dallie Barefoot's Geometry book, which is almost as good as new, since he scarcely ever opened it. y 13. The class of '26 appoints the Sophomore Class executor of this last will and testament, hoping they will carry out every detail of our last wishes.
