THE SPECTATOR e, the Senior Class of 1924, being of bright intellect, sane and disposing condition of mind, do hereby declare and make public our last will and testament. To the faculty we bequeath our sympathy for not being honored with our presence next year. To the juniors we bequeath the dignity of having the Senior title, in hopes that they honor and respect it as we have done. To the sophomores we leave our ability to keep up the school spirit. To the freshmen we leave our ability to remain quiet during any session of O. V. L. and to refrain from passing notes while in classes. We, the senior girls, will to the coming freshmen girls our right to the community comb with the sincere hope that they will never disgrace it by the use of soap and water. We, the senior boys, will to the freshmen boys of 1925 Julius Caesar, hoping that they may have as much fun with him as we did when freshmen. If any of you are interested in where to find him, write to box 401, and this information will be given to you, if you promise to always keep him painted green. I, Ben Warren, bequeath to Arthur McCray my ability to argue with the professor and to uphold the rights of the Ku Klux Klan. I, Isabelle Murray, will and bequeath to Thelma Richards, my perma ' nent wave and curls, and to Mary Hiatt my ability to appear in public. I, Jane Liest, leave to Evelyn Cook my guardianship over the sign “No Smoking” in the girl’s dressing room. I, Dicy Hurt, will and bequeath to Hazel Smith, the Royal typewriter and my position in Mr. Peter’s office. To Ann McMichael, I leave my ability to get by without studying. (i 3]

THE SPECTATOR Merlyn Pearce blew in about the year ’21 and is a very quiet lad. ’Nuf sed. Jane Abetty Kleiser, rather tall, but good-looking, is the class standby. Jane Liest, but not last, is a regular baseball fan. Jane has suffered all the tribulations, from the start, with the whole class. She is a prominent member. Now that this is finished, please turn to the class prophecy, and see what we are going to do. SENIOR CLASS ROLL Elbert Gibbins . Dicy Hurt Jane Kleiser .

To Norma Mazzini I leave my venerable pair of shoes which have an ungovernable habit of coming unbuttoned.

I, Merlyn Pearce, will and bequeath to Bud Thompson my good luck of sitting down in someone’s gum. To Walter Winrott I leave my office of vice president of the O. V. L.
