We are sure with his good looks and this great asset of Ed's he will succeed as Ed has done this year. To Margaret Smith, we bestow Eliza- beth Koch s knowledge. We feel to- gether with her present knowledge and Elizabeth's, she will have conferred upon her the same honor as Elizabeth has. And Bradley Elzey's efficiency of handling the business end of all our plays, we will to Howard Shupert. We hope this will he an asset to Dutch as Manager of Athletics. To Ida Neil, we will the supply of excuses that John Steltz has accumulated during his High School life. We hope that with these. Ida wxws't have to he reminded of them as often as John hare heem.

We feel this asset should be of benefit to the coming Class to create more interest, and perhaps more pep. Now we bestow unto Jesse Jones, Elizabeth Yost’s athletic ability. May this be a great asset to Jessie in keeping the boys in tow, as it wa« to Betty and will also help her to show as much school spirit at all the athletic games to come, Simon Cion’s skill in paperhanging,, to Howard Vandegrift, as Howard may me this vocation in future years.

THE BLUE AND STEEL 11 might miss something before we were gone, and yet with all that we managed to stage a Senior Play called “The Patsy,” which was successful financially as well as dramatically, and also to carry the Blue and Gold through a highly suc- cessful season. A number of our class- mates helped win the Montgomery County Championship in basketball. The debating society, which had a clean list of victories to its credit, was almost en- tirely composed of Seniors and many also entered the Oratorical Contest. This year our officers were: John S. Blackburn...........President J. B rad ley Elzey....Vice-Presiden t Dorothy E. Lobb.............Secretary Ellwood Bickhart............Treasurer Gladys Campbell. . . Corres. Secretary There was but one drawback to this glorious year. As each great event was successfully put over we paused to re- member sadly that it was for the last time. The last time we would hold de- bates, the last time we would stage a play, the last time we would support ath- letic teams and so on. Each event, how- ever successful, was tinged with a little sadness. But we did not have time for sadness and we plunged into a whirl of preparations for Class Day and Com- mencement. These completed, final ex- aminations arrived, were passed and then suddenly, abruptly, as when one jams down the brake of a speeding automobile, we stopped, and realized that all was over. Four years of High School, so long as we lived them, so short as we look back upon them! Only our trip to Wash- ington is still to come. But now, with the great unknown future stretching before us, with pitfalls and snares awaiting us, we shall always keep alive within us the memory of our happy high school days and the dear Alma Mater wherein they were spent. Helen R. Gabin, ’28. Last Will and Testament BE it remembered that we, the Class of 1928 of the Conshohocken High School, of the Borough of Con- shohocken, in the state of Pennsylvania, being of sound mind, memory and under- standing, do make, publish and declare this to be our last Will and Testament; hereby making void all former wills or promises carelessly made or spoken. We make it in number and form following, that is to say: We do bequeath to the faculty all the amazing knowledge and startling infor- mation that we have furnished them from time to time in our various examination papers. We give and bequeath the Blue and Gold Staff all the events of our lives, past, present and to come, with all won- ders, sensations, hairbreadth escapes, glorious attainments, and other desired or undesired notoriety and fame with which we may have been or may here- after be associated, trusting that they may furnish plenty of material for new items and brilliant editorials for ages yet to come and serve as inspiration for those younger students who so naturally look to us for examples. The following may seem but trifling bequests, but we hope that they may be accepted, not as worthless things lavishly thrown away because we can no longer keep them, but as valuable assets to those who may receive them and continual re- minders of the generosity of heart dis- played in our free and full bestowal. We do hereby bequeath unto Alverda Metz, Clara DeDeo’s ability as a typist; may Alverda win honors in typing as

THE BLUE AND STEEL 13 And Mabel Xester’s forgetfulness we assign to Rhoda McGuigan. We are sure this will be a great help to Rhoda because of her numerous term papers, and book reports. Unto Helen Keys, we bequeath Eliza- beth Markle’s ability to do shorthand in history class without being detected. Th is will be a great asset to Helen if she makes use of it. And Clara Murray’s beautiful golden locks, wt leave to Anna Dirks, because Anna has the tact of keeping it just as beautiful. And Jack Palmer’s ability to win the fair sex, we will to Arnold Hoyer. We hope that this will be an advantage to Arnold in his Senior year in the social world. To Gladys Mennig, we will Duane MacFarland’s clownishness. Gladys will surely shock the teachers next year. To Phyllis Light, we will John Mc- Cloy’s ability as a debater, or just plain arguing. Phyllis surely will win fame on the Debating Team next year. And Emma Ruth’s unique cackle, we bestow’ upon George Robinson. This will surely help George to attract atten- tion wherever he goes. To Frank Davidson, we bestow Fred Youngjohn’s shyness for girls. To be a success in History and Trigonometry Frank should follow Fred’s rule. And Gladys Campbell, although she mourns the loss, has finally consented to leave to Alice Nitterauer her long list of admirers. Alice will surely create havoc among them all. To the Junior Girls, we bequeath Ell- wood Bickhart’s persistent nature ever to succeed, and we are sure if you use this to a great extent next year, you will suc- ceed; and his quietness, we will to Hilda Winterbottom. And Helen Righter’s quietness, we will to Jennie Gerhart. We are sure her popularity will increase with this asset added to your personality. Unto Tony Travaglini, we bequeath Mary McLean’s Madonna features. May this help Tony to have that sweet attitude about him the same as Mary. Unto Wilbert Foulke, we will Clara Johnston’s promptness in handing in all her school work. To Elizabeth Schwab and Margaret Resch, we will David Martin’s avoir- dupois; we feel that this will be too much for one person; we hope that these girls will divide it equally. Unto Kathryn Dannehower, let us will William Giles’ permanent wave. With this gift Kathryn will not have to rise so early in the morning, dread damp weather and also suffer the torture of curlers. To Pauline Faust, we will Mary Head’s rosy cheeks. We hope some day Polly will become as adept as Mary, in blending colors. As it is as yet unclaimed, we will to some poor Junior Dorothy Lobb’s posi- tion as an efficient secretary around the school. May the new martyr to this job be as successful as Dot has been; and also we will to Helen Himes, Dot’s ever- lasting giggle. Ernest Pettine leaves his athletic prowess to Lloyd Frankenfield. Confer- ring it upon the school’s perpetual object of praise and admiration. Baptista Giovangelo’s stature, we will to William McCloy. Now William will not have to look dowTn upon everyone. And all of Lavinia Colen’s high notes in her numerous solos, we will to Samuel Webster. May these aid Sammy in be- coming one of the leading stars of the operetta next year. Unto Ruth Pierson we will Florence Page’s quiet and demure manner; we feel Ruth’s line of chatter will tire her out and therefore needs this bequest to keep her from ruining her health. And Helen Cabin’s genius mind in her Literary work, wre will to Dolly Han- num as Dolly can make use of it as the new Literary editor of the Blue and Gold. Unto Harry Berman, we will Lillian Hiltner’s neatness in all school work. May this aid Harry in all his work in his coming Senior year.
