26 THE COGSWELL I, David Zolot, leave a few inches of my gigantic height to Harold Hook, knowing that every little bit added to what you already have makes a little bit more. I, Albert Zecker, leave my pugilistic ability to some of the junior class boys, who will find it handy when substituted for ducking. I, the illustrious Spike Hansen, solemnly sever my relations with this school, but before doing so, leave my knowledge of history and mathematics to some conditioned Freshman. ' I, Martin Jukich, leave to the next class that has a candy sale my recipe for making fudge or any other information pertaining to hotels or the like. I, joe Clisham, gladly leave my ability as a Cogswell ball player to some scrub', who finds that he has a glass arm. I, Clifton Nichols, commonly known as Zeke, and known at all ports between San Diego and Vancouver as I1Vireless Shark, do will my dexterity as operator to some Junior who would like a sea trip this summer. I, Margaret MacMurray, do sadly part with my dimples to the Freshman girl who desires to gain popularity. I, Viola Van Daalen, leave my much prized picture hatu to the millinery department. , I, Gladys Roberts, leave my many nicknames to the school, with the wish that they may be printed and placed on the library table. I, Lillian Ridley, leave to some noisy Freshman girls my much praised and worthy manners. I, Verona Leason, sadly part with my tlossy locks to the brunette in the Freshman class who would like her picture in THE CooswELL.

28 THE cooswant 0112155 Qiainrg Having been assigned the delightful task of writing the history of the famous class of 1914, I now take pen and paper to proceed. To tell the truth, I have borrowed a fountain pen from a dear friend of mine who owed me a nickel, so for that reason he could not refuse. Now, gentle readers, the following history is that of an eye-witness, who was one of the first of his class and-who is now the last. There was a very large class, when we first began, but all have not remained. One by one mem- bers of our class have dropped out. When the crowd gets together in any of the rooms and the talk turns back to a couple of years ago, the names of many a former classmate is mentioned with regret. Four long years ago on a pleasant morning, the writer started on his first trip to Cogswell I-Iigh. Clad in his first pair of long trousers, it seemed to him that he would make a great hit. As the car neared the school, he began to get smaller so that if he made a hit at all, it was likely to be on the floor of the car. Twenty-sixth Street, yelled the conductor, then our historian dismounted. So this is the school, well, here goes. So saying, the writer buttoned his coat and sort of breezed in. When he got into the school, he felt as though he were lost. Poor little scrub, five feet two, was surrounded by some intellectual giants, many of whom had been in the college at least six months. The poor little fellow felt lonely and tried to hide behind the umbrella rack but he was saved by an angel, Miss Padkin by name, who took him by the hand and escorted him to his first class-room. This promiscuous gathering of alfalfa was bad but there has been only one that was worse since then, and that was the '15 class. VVe were so green that when our first teacher asked a question and called upon Mr, Cate to answer, our friend Roland looked around to see where his father was. And the girls? Vlfell, say, if our girls want to know what they looked like when they first arrived in this school-aw, say, what's the use of rubbing it inn? In a few months the class thought that it would be a good idea to organize. Our first election was certainly an exciting one. There were sixty in the class and I regret to state that over one hundred votes were cast. At last, after a correct vote was taken, our first officers were installed. The next day the class officers put their hats on with a judicious use of their shoe horns. It is too bad to say that all cases of an enlarged cranium did not stop with the officers of the Freshman class. At last came the winter vacation, after which we were no longer lowly scrubs, but classed as 'fHigh Freshmen. Wheii we returned, we found around the school many hopeless cases. After calling in a couple of doctors for a consultation, we came to the conclu- sion that they were the member f tl l A fl with erasers. s o ie ower 4 class, so we welcomed them
