And to the Sophomores we assign Dutch Wiedemann's brilliance and his ability as a chemist (he has un- successfully tried to blow up the school three times now.) The likeness of Ray Wilmer as Cupid has been duly exposed to George Young. Won’t he smash the girls hearts now?

It can safely be divided between more than one. And unto the Sophomore girls we do bequeath “Si” Adair’s brush and easel, together, with paint. They have been out of paint and look bad. Ed.

THE BLUE AND GOLD Page Nine All during our high school life a fine spirit of co-operation existed among the members of the class. It was this which enabled us to raise the desired amount of money in or- der to make the proposed Washing- ton trip a reality. And. who will ever forget the glorious stay in Washington over May 6, 7, 8, when we saw what every true American heart longs to see—its nation's Cap- itol? The Student Government Associa- tion. under the leadership of George Lentz, has had a very successful year. The other three senior mem- bers were: Vera Killmer, Clara Myers and Catherine Sukalski. The close of our enviable school career draws near, and knowing and believing that KNOWLEDGE IS POWER,” let each one strive on with but one thought in mind—that of bringing honor and glory to his Alma Mater! CATHERINE SUKALSKI, ’2(i. Last Will and Testament Re It Remembered, That we. the Class of 1926 of the Conshohocken High School, being of sound and dis- posing mind, memory and under- standing, and considering the uncer- tainty of Life, do therefore make, publish and declare this to be our Last Will and Testament, in the manner and form following, that is to say: YV e do bequeath unto Kemery Kieffer, Solomon Auerbach’s becom- ing feminine attraction in hopes that lie will make a better hit with Naomi Holt. And unto Charles Schimpf we do bequeath George Barron’s fatuation for freckles, in everlasting hopes that he will try his best to win the heart of Miss Laura Hicks. Unto the entire Junior Class we bequeath the Hon. John Beyer’s speed and versatility as we think this would be a great asset to them. John also desires his magic sweater of many colors to be left to “Nuts” Stuhlmuller so that he can be a regular circus man. To “Fats” Martin we will the su- perb stature and athletic genius of Glenn Davis. This will be a great asset to “Fats” as he is seriously thinking of becoming a knife dodger. As is prescribed by our hand and seal, we do bequeath unto John Blackburn, Harold Frankenfield’s knowledge of the farm. We earnest- ly hope that John will cultivate his tenor voice and when he does we hope that he will plant it deep. To be turned over to Charles Schimpf at a later date we have pre- scribed the speed of Raymond Freas with the sincerest hopes that Charles will be greatly aided in his various sports. Upon William Jennings’ big, pow- erlui 1914 Overland, we do fully bur- den the selection of pretty girls of “Goat” Gilinger’s “taxi.” And now the wit and humor of Private Paul Hannum we do be- queath unto the Junior Class in hopes that this will help them to moisten their jokes and wise cracks. And we may also add Paul's Ginger snaps, so that the Juniors may take them to Washington next year. The oratorical ability of Prof. Jones we thrust upon Merrit Bishop in hopes that he can sell tires and tubes to a better advantage. Upon Harold Griffith rests the athletic prowess of Nate Graubard in hopes that Harold will strut his stuff with the varsity five next year. To William Vance we give Ger- main LaBrecque's wonderful head of hair so he will have an excuse to leave his hat home. George Lentz' sheiky looks we do bequeath unto Earl DiJenno so Earl can land Miss King. And now our celebrated ordainer of Irish wit, the Hon. James E. Mel- lon, has devised unto the entire Jun- ior Class his bag of tricks and wise cracks in hopes that they will hold their own hereafter. To Louis Sponar we bequeath the inventive genius of George Middle- ton. George always had an easy way of getting in good with the teachers, so he has bequeathed said ability to Isaac Moore.

THE BLUE AND GOLD Page Eleven The tall slim personage of Olglena Krieble we do bequeath unto Murl Griffith. He will be up in the World some day. Clara Myer’s pugilistic nature we will to Milton Jacobson. Milt needs such an asset if he is going to be a lawyer. To Sam Kessler we do bequeath Genevieve Millhouse’s tortoise rims so he can see far into the future. Maybe this will keep him awake. Dorothy Ramsey's big brown eyes we will to Peggy Piero. She surely will give Milt a thrill now. The argumentive nature of Olive Robinson we give to Betty Yost. The remarkable dancing ability of Margaret Sampson we will to George Young. George will knock them all dead at the Junior prom next year. Ruth Staley’s avoirdupois we give to Dave Johnstone. He will make the football team next year.
