Class Will We, the Class of 1921, being about to leave Colon High School where we have developed ourselves mentally, morally, and physically, do make and publish our last will and testament hereby making void all former wills by us at any time heretofore made. We are about to dispose of our cherished possessions and bequeath them to our succeeding classmates. They read as follows: I. The Senior Class as a whole give and bequeath to the Juniors our priviliges, position of influence, and dignity. We are afraid this will be a strain upon the nerves and muscles of the gay and debonair Juniors, but all hope they will rise to the occasion as they sometimes can. II. We give and bequeath to the High School as a whole the two songs “Star Spangled Banner” and “America”. These songs to become possession of the high school, on condition that she show her gratitude for them by using them at each chapel and with the suggestion that she add others to the list as “Columbia the Gem of the Ocean” and “Marching Through Georgia”. III. We give to the Freshman Class the following advice, to put away their childish ways and as the class of “21” “Climb though the rocks be rugged,” and remember that the road to success is not an easy road to travel. But still look at “21” and be encouraged. IV. Our worthy High School Editor, Esther Palmatier, bequeathes her position to Clella Mosher. V. John Hill wishes to keep his one great accomplishment in the family requests that I bequeath his art of bluffing to Edwin Hill, on condition that he accept this gift with due appreciation, as with this art in possession it is not necessary to study so much. VI. Francis Baad and Earl Decker who together have passed through the gate of knowledge so successfully have consented to share their ability to obtain knowledge with Edwin Corrrell and Willet Whitmore, hoping that they will also be successful in passing through this gate.

Class Prophecy DOREEN I). SHANE FLORENCE F. VALYER Discovered sitting in two chairs. Florence—Oh, Doreen, I have just purchased a brand new ouiji board and I’d like to try it out. Doreen—Let’s do. Florence—I’ll have it here in just a minute. Excuse me. (F. V. exits) Doreen—I wish the ouiji would tell us something of our H. S. class. It’s been twenty years since we graduated and I’d like to know what has become of the 1921 Seniors. (Enters Floss) Floss—Here it is, as shiny and nice and new as can be. Pull your chair up and we’ll see what we can get out of it. (Arrange them-elvt-s) Doreen—Ouiji, what can you tell us of the class of ’21V Florence (aside)—Do you suppose it will ever move? Doreen—Of course. See! It’s moving now. Watch it! Floss—“I can tell you all.” Doreen—First tell us what has become of Mona Mae Watson. Floss—“M. A. C. Graduate. Home Economics.” I believe that ouiji has told a story already. Why would Mona Mae want to take a course in Home Economics? Doreen—She strives to reach Ferrell’s idea of a good and economical Housewife. Floss-—Whom shall we enquire about next? Doreen—Oh, let’s try Carl Harmon. Floss—“Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Bess announeh the marriage of their daughter, Dorothy, on June 15, 193U, to Carl Harmon. To be at home to their many friends June 30 at-------------St., Ypsilanti, Mich. Doreen—What a surprise! Although ever since the time Carl invited Dorothy to the Senior party they have been rather intimate. Floss—Talking of that party reminds me that it was at Palmatier's. I wonder where Esther is and what she is doing? Doreen—“She has recently made a discovery startling to the medical world. Upon performing a marvelous operation on a human brain she has discovered that fifty per cent of insanity is caused by blood blisters on the brain. Although the patient died it was a very successful operation. With her degrees of M. D. and Ph. D. she is considered one of the medical lights of the day. Her medical work for the past thirteen years is unparalleled. More and greater results are expected from her,” Floss—That’s tine. I always thought that our salutatorian would make herself famous at some time. See, the ouiji is moving again. What does it say?
