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. Witnessed this 5th day of June, 1924 by: Count de Change Captain Percy Vearence Judge U. S. Knott SENIORS S - is for the never dying spirit, E - shows their Exit, for they’re near it, N - stands for the night of graduation, I - stands for our ideals and all our fun, O — is for their outlook on the nation, R - is for respect that they have won, S - is for their sense of right and wrong.

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 11 ' ir le i. t. :t :s n .s y y li k f s At the Banquet June 6, 1949 Here we are back in Cloverdale! How different everything 1 looks! Why you hardly know the town. What I admire $ most, though, is the beautiful dining room that the domes ' In tic science department has. It is one of the most artistic I l have ever seen. The blue curtains and the oak furniture ever seen. look so well together. We surely never had things like these when we were in school. It sort of reminds me of old days, though.” “Let’s make Mr. Nobles toastmaster of this grand occasion. Is every one in favor? Yes? All right, Mr. Nobles is toastmaster.” Mr. NoblesFirst of all, let’s give a toast to Cloverdale. Also, I want to suggest that we all relate our experiences. I imagine that some of them are very interesting and though some of them may be commonplace, I know we’ll all be glad to listen to them.” Miss Yordi: “ Oh, that will be fine. I can’t imagine anything more thrill ' ing! Let’s have Isabel speak first. Isabel!” Miss Murray:“I have my new aerostat almost perfected. If you hadn’t come down we might all have gone up to the moon to see you for a short visit, though I can’t say I admire your place of abode sufficiently to want to stay long.” Miss Hurt: “ I took up the work of translating the Bible into the version of the later generation. I am sure it will suit all of our needs. Some of the phrases were so clumsy for this generation to understand. I have only finished about half of it but maybe in fifty years more I’ll get it finished.” Miss Liest: “Mr. Gibbins and I surely were lucky. We have a little island domain all our own. I was on my way to India and he on his way to China to see Mr. Pearce. The ship was wrecked and after floating on a M
