We, the Senior Class of 1918, of the Coquille High School, City of Coquille, County of Coos, State of Oregon, realizing the uncertainity of life in this, the crisis of the World War, and the increased danger that will confront us when we will no longer be shielded by the watchful eyes of the faculty, deem it highly expedient that we should make provision for the distribution of our worldly possessions and therefore declare this our last will and testament. To the Juniors we bequeath our supernatural dignity. To the Sophomores we will the privilege of entering into the sacred realms of the office and typewriting room without permission. To the poor misused Freshmen we will our unusual success in obtaining high grades. To the Faculty in appreciation of the kind interest they have shown toward us we leave the quiet which will reign in the study hall as a result of our absence. To Janitor Johnson we gladly leave the real estate which he has swept up from under our desks. I, Maymie DeLong, leave to Beryl Woodruff my coquettish manners and curls. I, Myrtle Neely, do cheerfully bequeath to Irene Kime the extreme honor of being the best avoirdupoised girl in the Senior Class. I, Charles Oerding, do hereby donate to Mr. Douglas my much cherished basket ball suit to be used as a screen on which to flash moving pictures. I, Clara Lund, leave my blonde complexion to be sparingly

essay, and the medal in the declamation contest. One other member of our class took part in the declamatory contest. The works worthy of honorable mention during our last year are so numerous that there is not space for all but I will mention a few. Two of our boys belong to the Basket Ball team, which won the County Championship. Most of the Thrift Speakers were Seniors, one member receiving the Baby Bond for being the first Thrift Speaker. One of our members, Marvel Skeels, won the cup in the county Declamatory contest and the High School was well represented in the Oratorical contest by a Senior. A member of our class is the President of the first W. S. S. organized in Coos county. We, having the largest number of graduates that the school has ever produced at one time and the smallest number of poor students and best averaged grades, is another proof that ‘‘Silence during our first years was golden.” Nellie Johnson. “June,” said Miss Bay, “give me a compound word.” June: “Trans-mag-nify-can-damn-u-olity-able-ship-es- tablish-ment-anna-terra-a-nis-tisc-u-lism.” v r r Hazel: “The preacher says there is no marrying in Heav- en.” Nina: “Of course not. There wouldn’t be enough men to go around.” r r r Mildred Neely to her mother: “Mamma, I’m never, never going to study any more.” “Why, dearie, what’s the matter?” inquired mother. “ ’Cause it’s no use,” was the impulsive answer—“it’s no use at all. I can’t never learn spelling. Teacher keeps changing the words all the time.”

used by the High School girls during the years to come, in hopes that their drug store bills will thereby decrease. I, Etta McLeod, do willingly leave to Alice Curry my reputation of being short of stature. I, Elmer Neely, will to Don Pierce my especial talent as Yell Leader. i, Doris Tyrrell, leave to John Stanley my ability to graduate without going to school. I, Marvel Skeels, will to Edna Olson, after my departure from High School, the privilege of riding in a certain olive drab bug. I, Fred Lorenz, do hereby will to Fred Harlocker my place as a guard in High School basket ball team. I, Nellie Johnson, do hereby leave my sweet temper and ireckles to Margaret Cunningham. I, Gladys Nosier, leave my perfectly good powder puff to be chained to the mirror in the girls cloak room, and used by the public at large. I, Sylvia Neely, will to Carol Rahskopf my power of saying nothing when the moment for silence has arrived. I, Mildred Norton, do hereby bequeath to Lester Bogard my love for the sciences. I, Flossie Lund, leave my grace in tripping the light fantastic to Viola Knife. I, Leland Peart, do hereby will my place in the Hlgn School orchestra to Chauncey Fish. I, Catherine Hersey, bequeath to Hazel Bean my interest in Beaver Hill. In witness whereof, we have hereunto set our hands and affixed the seal of the Senior Class, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred eighteen. Molly Bruce (Seal) Marian Preston
