1934 I.A CAMPAXILLA CLASS WILL THE Senior Class Welfare Society realizes that the rest of the classes are sufit ' ering, that there is a depression, and that it ' s going to be a hard summer. So, if the line will form on the right, we will give out, according to the terms of our will, many things to our needy comrades. 1. We leave to the Junior class, with fiendish glee, those tough English assignments, onlv to realize we ' ll prohahlv be getting touglicr ones in college. 2. The Senior boys leave, with tender regrets, their Goodfellows ' Club (that big room on the second floor with all the books) to the Junior boys who seem to have caught the spirit of our daily gatherings — never a dull moment. 3. To Miss Grundy, the Seniors affectionately leave their remark- able capacity for getting out of work. 4. The wise, sage, and scholarly graduates scatter their knowledge to the four winds because everyone in this school ' s so bright he doesn ' t need it. (Horse laugh heard faintly in distance.) 5. Alix Tillson ' s skill on fifty-seven different varieties of instrument we will to fifty-seven different people. Then perhaps we can have a band. 6. We give Jack Margrett ' s strange assortment of whoops and yells to Mr. Sylvia, to make use of just in case the bells go wrong again. 7. We leave our athletic prowess to the up and coming lads of the Junior High. We wish them many unbeaten and untied chess teams. 8. The Senior lassies leave seven rather dingy, second-hand angel- robes, complete with wings, to the feminine German students around school. (Halos not included — Seniors didn ' t need them.) 9. All brightly-hued hockey shirts (after the fashion of Adolph Suehsdorf ' s blinding tri-colored one) we leave to Mr. Sylvia to add variety to the daily dusting. 10. We leave soothing balms and cooling ointments to Rene Moser, who has taken horrible beatings from the lads in the upstairs locker room. 11. We leave Jeanie Glenn ' s criminally neat notebooks to the incom- ing and unsuspecting seventh graders as a horrible examjilc of what to avoid. 12. The Seniors ' ability to pick sports winners, we leave to Robert Bretland. Will he never learn that Stanford couldn ' t beat Columbia on any sort of field. ' ' 13. The Seniors leave their sense of humor to Cowley, Cleveland and Company. Even if feeble, it ' s better than those puns! 22

LA CAMP AN ILL A 1934 THE SENIOR I ' ROl ' IIECV WE are gazing into the crystal fish bowl to find out what the Seniors will be doing in years to come. Will their youthful dreams of success and happiness be fulfilled? We must pry into the future. We must ask the aid of the supernatural. We will ask the School Spirit. Well, old boy, what ' s the dope on the Seniors of tomorrow.? Ha, the clouded bowl is clearing and we see Bill Harrison. Yes sir. Bill Harrison. And what is Bill doing? Bill is the president of a corrc- sjjondcnce school for people who have trouble doing their homework. And right next to Bill stands Dan Jenkins who is now president of the Davey Tree Surgery Co. We remember that Dan always wanted to be a doctor. The bowl looks troubled now, and as the mists clear we see poor Alix Tillson languishing in jail for swiping minerals from the American Museum of Natural History. Jean Glenn, president of the W. C. T. U., has dropped in to see her. Yes, it ' s Jeanie, now a saloon buster and famous from Maine to California. And who is that locking the cell door? Why, it ' s George Parr. George Parr the turnkey. Well, well. A street scene now. There, in front of a billboard where Paul Bruning ' s photograph advertises Arrow Collars, stands a man in a dull red suit and chin-whiskers, tinking a little bell. You ' ve guessed it. It ' s Jurgen Luders, the Salvation Army Santa Claus. He ' s chatting with Adolph Suehsdorf. Rumor has it that Adie is one of those mean old men who chase autograph-seeking little boys away from dressing-room doors. The bowl again becomes milky and then we see Jack Margrett, the little newsboy. An old man, his slick haircomb now streaked with white, buys a Daily Mirror. It ' s Karl Marquardt, the prominent educator and founder of the Marquardt method of teaching German. He teaches in Emporia and marks papers fort3 ' -seven just for the ' ell of it. His now- feeble eyes rove over the headlines. Here ' s one. Gerhard Rabcler, famous German ski-jumper, breaks neck jumping off Zugspitze. (Ed. note: the Zugspitze is ten thousand feet high.) Another: Gracie Thurston, world-famous evangelist, marries Barnum and Bailey ' s pride and joy, the Deafest Man in the World. But Karl ' s not interested in that. He turns the pages feverishly, does not even stop to glance at Lurid Love Stories, illustrated by Gretchen Telfer, staff cartoonist of the Mirror. At last he comes to the Radio Section. This is what he wants. The Home Kitchen Five Minutes will be conducted by Betty Gundlach every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sundav at 8:00 A. M. over WAAT. Now the bowl is shifting rapidly and we get glimpses of our Seniors 23
