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

THE SPECTATOR I, Alice Grace Yordi, will and bequeath to Pauline Domine my popu ' larity and ability to carry on the Society. I, Celia Smith, will to Iginio Pellegrini my love for French II, knowing that he has the same failing. To Norma Mazzini I leave my venerable pair of shoes which have an ungovernable habit of coming unbuttoned. I, Elbert Gibbins, will and bequeath to Raymond Ward my stern tone of voice, knowing that some day he will be able to conduct the O. V. L. meetings as I have done it. I, Esther Sink, leave to Oria Orr my sweet and loving disposition. To Madeline Babcock I leave my ability to pass notes without being caught. I, Irnita McPhail, will and bequeath to Ben Hoyle my ability to get ones in every subject. To Beatrice Horn I will my suitcases full of books hoping that I shall never have to use them again. I, Yell Nobles, will and bequeath to Arthur McCray my love for plain Geometry hoping that some day he will take up this subject and find it as interesting as I have. To Louis Coppo I will Crabb’s Synonyms, so he may learn them by heart, and thereafter pass the book on to someone else. I, Jane Abetty Kleiser, will and bequeath to Virginia Williams my compact, knowing she will share it with Pauline Domine and that they will use it to the best advantage. 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. Now add them all together, and They spell “Seniors,” a mighty word, indeed. M

THE SPECTATOR raft for several days we landed on our island. The natives think that we are gods and our word is law. Down there gold grows on trees and all you have to do is say you want this or that and it comes.” Miss Yordi: “Well my story isn’t very long. I took a chance and got on the rocket that landed me on the Moon. It has been so hot up there I couldn’t stand still so I’ve taught dancing lessons. This is the first time I’ve been down. It surely is a wonderful experience to come tearing through the air for miles and miles and miles.” Mr. Pearce: “For a while I thought I wouldn’t be able to see you, dear friends. Being the President of the United States keeps one busy. I was never so busy in my life before. The K. K. K. are an awful bother. I’ve been trying to get to the head of it but so far I haven’t succeeded. No one seems to know anything about it but people have been mobbed and tarred and feathered, I wish I had some one to help me. Ben would be awfully good. Whey here he comes! Hello, Ben. You’re just in time! What have you been doing?” Mr. Warren: “Me? Why I’m the leader of the K. K. K. We’re cleaning out the bootleggers and other bad characters. In a short time we shall make the United States a model place to live in; then we’ll put the K. K. K. away for a while.” Mr. Pearce: “Ben—you? The leader of the K. K. K. And I was trying to find out about it. I’ll have to settle with you later.” Ben laughed. “Yes, you will not. When I leave here you’ll never find me. I’m going to do this up brown and I mean it.” Miss Smith: “ I went to the Philippines as a teacher to help in the better¬ ment of the young Filipinos. There I met General Wood. I talked and worked and finally proved to him that the natives should have a chance. After that he worked with me. Now we have succeeded and the Philip¬ pines are free.” Miss Kleiser: “I am a famous toe dancer in Paris. I also do much chorus work. .My success is due to the fact that I took dancing lessons in Santa Rosa during my high school days.” Miss McPhail: “I am working in San Francisco as Jackie Coogan’s heroine in his latest picture. I didn’t expect to be doing this and I know you are all greatly surprised. I went to Hollywood and there the chance was given me. I accepted and have never been sorry. It is very interesting. I enjoy it.” Miss Sink: “ I’ve been riding elephants in the circus. I’ve been all over the U. S. It’s a wild life, to be sure, but thrilling. I can charm snakes and hypnotize people. You learn all those things if you belong to a circus. I’d advise that you all come and join.” Mr. Nobles: “After school was out I went South. I had heard of several people getting rich by digging up gold, which was said to be quite M
