their heads against the wall five or six times. After they had finished this, they sat down on the floor and giggled. With disappointment, we turned to leave. You want to hear of our trip back? Bah! We didn't even get out of the building, for outside a sign stated this, “Home For Luna- tics. By Arthur Steeves 51” Class Will We, the members of the class of 1951, being of sound mind and with the prospect of a long life, decided to divide our treasures among the younger members of the school, while we were present to see how much pleasure they obtain from our gifts. We bestow Phillip Brown's talent for growing tall to Leon Pellitier. To Joyce Tardiff goes Eleanor Stinson's habit of eating apples in school. To “Jackie Cates, we give Kenneth Perry’s ability for playing the piano. To Clifford Dixon, we bequeath Arthur Steeves’s fondness for smiling at the girls. We leave to Gene Stearns, the ball-playing powers of Lauris Monk. To Carrol Bowie, we give Grover Scott’s task of being chief singer of the school. To Ercel Moore, we leave Barbara Cullen’s knack of always being good. To Barbara McGowan, we give Lois Gibson's position on the Student Council. To Clyde Wishart, we bequeath Elwin Steven’s ability to make “wise remarks, so that he will have one for every occasion. To the entire Freshman class we leave the Seniors’ keen enjoyment of high school. To the Junior girls, we give the Senior girls’ privilege of always having boy friends. We leave the Seniors’ treasure chest of wit to the Sophomore Class. To all our friends, not otherwise named, we leave our well-thumbed text books. By careful study, they, too, in time, may become Seniors. We believe this to be a just distribution of our possessions, and we hope that no one will want more than his lawful share. Signed, sealed, and executed this day of our Lord, February 8, 1951. The members of the Senior Class, by Lois Gibson, Attorney. 13

Trip To The Moon There she sits, the giant golden rocket-ship, with the maroon stripes, shining in the mid-afternoon sun. The mechanics are busy checking the controls, fuel, and engines, readying her for its destination, “The Moon.” Every citizen of Clinton is on hand to see this great feat. Here comes the Captain with his Co-Captain, in a jeep. Why, it’s none other than Captain “Easy” Monk, and the tall fellow looks familiar. I think that I have seen him; why it's Co-Captain “Big” Brown. They are my former classmates who have become famous for their daring adventures. Captain Monk is now standing in the jeep and is going to speak. “My friends,” he said, “my colleague and I are not only taking this trip for the ad- venture, but we have heard rumors and we believe that the class of 1951 is lost on the moon.” Let’s see, the class of 1951 is my class. I think that I shall sneak aboard before they take off, for they may not let me go if 1 ask. 1 made the ship just in time, for my two classmates entered shortly afterwards and seated themselves at the controls. Suddenly the ship lurched upward and out into space. 1 came out from hiding and told the boys my reason for coming, and when they realized that 1 was a former class- mate, they forgave me. The ship was going at a tremendous speed and within a few minutes later they told me to brace myself for the landing. We stood in the doorway of the ship and looked at the countryside and the nearby mountains. I reached back and picked up a pair of binoculars. With these I saw “North Overshoe” just over the mountain. The boys and 1 headed in this direction and sure enough there was a town of about forty buildings. We hustled down in hopes of finding trace of our classmates. We went through the swinging doors of a hotel and asked the owner if he knew of “Ken” Perry. He told us yes, and that he stayed at the big house across the street with five friends. We hurried across and knocked. The door was opened by a young girl dressed in white. The Captain told her whom we wished to see. She led us to a large room and left us. “Well here they are. Holy smokes, look at what their doing! What’s ailing them? And sure enough they were acting very queerly, indeed. Over in one corner, Grover and Elwin, dressed in diapers were creeping around on all fours with their nose to the floor, and howling like a bloodhound on the trail of a runaway slave. Look at Perry, said Captain “Easy. We turned and looked in the direction he was pointing. Perry, to my surprise, was dressed as a girl and was playing with dolls. Then from the other end of the room we heard a large commotion. We turned and there at the farther end of the room was Barbara, Lois, and Eleanor. We started to- wards the girls, who seemed to be perfectly normal. After covering about half the dis- tance we stopped, for suddenly each one of the girls screamed, then turned and banged 12
