10 I1LVK ANU GOLD William Ewing's dignified manner and expressive reading, especially in the audi- torium, we assign to William Giles. Abbie Carter’s musical ability we be- queath to Oglena Kriebel so the same will not be missed when Abbie graduates. Carl Faust’s dainty selection of bow- ties we will to Theodore Weideman. We won't be able to see Ted nearly so well. To Rose Kauffman we leave Duncan’s intense love of Stenography. To John Prizer we bequeath Herman Finkelstein’s talkative nature. Perhaps this gift will keep John awake. Ella Johnson’s “golden locks” we will to “Chuck” Thomas. Ella won’t notice the loss and Chuck can easily stand the addition. To Florence Campbell we bequeath Clyde Hill's perpetual drawl. Flos won’t be able to express herself nearly so well. Kathryn Kirkpatrick's sentimental characteristics we leave to Olive Robin- son. Elvira Shupert’s shy and retiring ways we assign to Kit” Hessley. To Robert Ramsey we bequeath Roy Holden’s blond marcelle wave. Elizabeth Leedom's punctuality we as- sign to Emma Harrison (to Mr. Huns- berger's despair.) William Jones’ oratorical ability and bashful ways to leave to Thomas Celli. These surely ought to make a big change in Thomas. To Vernon Scott we give Isabelle MacRae’s wicked orbs. What a lady- killer he ought to be! Charles Kindregan, who is noted for his witticisms, has graciously consented to leave same to Alan Shcllenberger. Margaret Moore’s lanquishing looks to a member of the Junior Class we will to Clara Myers. Someone must assume Margaret's duties. To Raymond Freas wc give Joseph Bate's customary beard. Raymond will think he is a man now. Regina Pagnacco’s studious nature we leave to Margaret Sampson. To Louis Sponar we bequeath Emerson Webster’s prowess in Athletics. May you have success, Louis. Ruth Philip’s regular attendance we will to Viola Vercoe. Samuel Brett, altho he mourns the loss, has finally consented to leave his unique laugh to Si Adair. Si surely will step out now. To Florence Crawford we will Helen Moser’s devotion to the male sex. It won’t he a difficult art for Florence to cultivate. Herbert Bowman’s beautiful pompadour we give to Ottie Wood. To Nathan Graubard we bequeath Vir- ginia Ramsey’s raven cudles. Gina will no longer have to suffer the torture of curlers. Richard Mostellar’s semi-collegiate trousers we will to Solomon Auerbach. I am sure Solomon will treasure this gift. To Rosella Gravinese we leave Grace Jones’ rosy cheeks. Maybe Rosella may some day become as adept as Grace in blending colors. Frank Dennis' beloved nickname “Tar- zan we assign to George Middleton altho we give George due warning not to be- come too wild. To Helen Jamison we bequeath Frances Rowan’s advoirdupois. Dorothy Walter's high marks we will to Ruth Wood and Anne Griffith. Mr. Hottenstein surely will appreciate this bestowal. To some poor benighted Freshman we leave Nelson StuhlmulleVs interesting talks on school spirit —a word in ex- planation—Nelson does not always prac- tice what he preaches. Alice William’s voluability we assign to Anna Hissuer. To Charles Beuler we leave “Porky” Robert’s Royles Ruff with the hope that his troubles be fewer than Porky's were. Catherine Reiger's fondness for comb- ing her tresses wc will to Josephine Young. To any who are willing to accept this burden we leave Harold Koch’s cease- less line of chatter. It can safely be souldeied by several. Franklin Goshaw's air of timidity we bequeath to Donald Jones. We hope this

And first we direct that our funeral ser- vices shall be conducted by our friends and well wishers, only asking as the last injunction of the dying, that the funeral be carried out with all the dignity and pomp that our worth, our merit, our at- tainments, and our position as Seniors of grave and reverend mien” must cer- tainly have deserved.

The following may seem but trifling bequests, but we hope they may be ac- cepted, not as worthless things lavishly thrown away because we can no longer keep them, but as valuable assets to those who may receive then and continual re- minders of the generosity of heart dis- played in our free and full bestowal. To Dorothy Davies we bequeath Mar- garet Barnshaw's “West Conshie Cackle” and picturesque vocabulary. Dorothy surely will astound the Teachers now. William Bennett’s corpulent figure we assign to John Blackburn, and hope John will be as proud of it as Bill is. May Starke’s sweet disposition we leave to Smiles” Galbreath. “Phil” Cardamone’s high stature and mischievous ways we give to Glenn Davis but warn Glenn not to use same too fre- quently. To Ray Wilmer we will Marion Robin- son’s favorite hang-out—Room 11. We hope Ray will be as fortunate as Marian was. To Beatrice Gormley we will Ella Sling- luff’s willowy form.
