The characters were all praised for their ahility to imitate and for the ease with which they did it. The High School audi- torium was crowded and everyone praised the characters. The play itself held interest from the moment the 'curtain went up until the final lowering. The vivid characteristics ot' life and of the tangled webs that are woven as one mounts the stairs of m-atrimony were humorously portrayed in spite of the grave conditions that confronted the Little Savage. The play was staged hy Miss Michael who deserves much credit for its success. QT! QU DAD SENIOR CLASS WEEK Sunday, April 22, 1917-7:30 p. m., Baccalaureate Address.

LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT E, the undersigned members of the class of 1917 of Cowan High School, being in our right minds and at peace with the world and very much pleased with our good conduct during our career as students of Cowan High School, do hereby bestow upon those whom we deem worthy of the honor, the following gifts, towit: First-As individual members of the class we give to each and everyone of the fac- ulty our deep thanks for the great in-' terest they have taken in our behalt and for the encouragement and gen-- erous aid given to us in our work. Second: To the Junior class we be- stow our place as Seniors, our dignity, our, Pep, Punch and Personality, our exceedingly high grades and our good behavior. Also, we hope that they will be able to have as much class spirit as we have had, when Seniors. Third: To the Freshman class, we bestow our infinite wisdom and hope that they will pass their remaining years at school and uphold Cowan High School. Fourth: To the Sophomores we leave our art of persuasion and our sociability. I, Mary Hayes, who have primped so much leave the mirror and comb for Edith Harold and hope she will use them to an advantage. I, Gilbert Tuttle, leave 111y musical talent and my beautiful complexion to Paul Barnhart, knowing that he will appreciate them. I, Audrey Rhoton, since my giggle is too precious to leave, bestow my next valuable possession, my cute little dimples to Crevia Spangler. I, Raymon Turner, having spent 111any ha1'd years of my life in study- ing desire to give to Freshman class the benefit of my experience. There- fore I bequeath to said parties the 598 pages of manuscript said volume en- titled How I Worked My Teachers. I, Noailes Hayes leave llly enthusi- asm over basket ball to little Helen Johnson, knowing that to be able to jump high makes a person tall. I, Edith Dragoo, leave my 98's and 99's and my love of study to Claud An- derson and my pleasant smile Ikeep for myself knowing I can't find an- other. I, Ruby Hays, leave my dreamy eyes and my golden curls to whoever needs them most. Also my punctual- ity. I, Harry Fleming, leave my beauti- ful tenor voice and my wonderful ability to orate to Cecil Fewell. I, Madge Priddy, decide to leave my reserved and winning ways to Madge Rinker. I, Lamon West, leave my cute little surveyors and my dear little boyish ways to my sister Laoma and hope she will become a mathematician like my- self. I, Harry Johnson, have decided to go into politics but hereby name Merril West heir to my sunny smile and good nature. I, Roberta Fleming do gladly give up all of my love letters to Mr. Eilar to use as models. CBetter late than never.D I, Harold Vice, gladly give to VVm. Hale four inches of my height hoping Little Bill will be able to see every- thing that happens in the assembly be- cause of the added inches. I, Edna Dragoo, leave my collection of jokes and my hearty laugh to Rob- ert McShirley as he is troubled with the blues. In conclusion, we, the Senior Class of 1917, do appoint as administrators and executors of this will the Junior Class knowing that they are a little superior to their under class men. To this, our last will and testament, we do, this lst day of March, in the year of our Lord, 1917, set our hands and seal. Carrie Reese.

Carson, Louetta Cordier and Chas. Keen as our guiding stars, we en- tered Cowan High School with an enrollment of sixteen. Like any other Freshmen, we were trodden under- foot by the Seniors, and consid- ered in general very much of a nuis- ance. Even after Christmas, when we moved from the old store building into the new school building--and traveling is supposed to he an education in it- self--we were about as popular, I should say, as a combination of the seven plagues. In fact, four ot' our classmates dropped in despair, during the summer: Glen McDonald, Rozella Harris, Walter Tuttle and Edward Gamble. As Sophomores we asserted our in- dependence and insisted on being un- trodden upon. Russell Ross and Jolm Metzker, two vauable basket ball play- ers, Vienna Jones and Mary West re- fused to be classed with us, so de- parted. Eva Neff entered our class, however, as a balm to our troubled spirits over the departure of our class- mates, and Ray Cunningham came, saw and conquered his desire to stay, all in one term, and though we appre- ciated his fleeting visit, we would have appreciated a longer stay, much more. Altogether we acquitted ourselves quite creditahly under the tender, fostering care of Charles Fewell as Superintend- cut and Mr. R. E. Eilar, who might ap- propriately be called Shorty, Maude Michael, our basket ball fan, and Dolly Sutton a lady of uncertain temper, as assistants we did not have a very good reputation, however, for some inex- plicable to us reason. As bonny Juniors, blithe and gay, we entered next year, and our roll-call held only thirteen names. Unlucky number, so no wonder four of our classmates dropped out during the term: Wayland Peacock, Zelma Rink- er, Ermine Garrett and William Hale, still, with Mr. Fewel as superintendent, Miss Michael and Miss Ryan assisting him, and Mr. Eilar as class patron, we were begged, bribed and coaxed to learn, until now we are nearing the close of our Junior year. And next year we start as Seniors! With awe in our hearts we gaze at the seats, which we hope to fill next yearg and though they tell us that, collective- ly, our class is worth less than nothing at all, still, I think, individually, we will prove that our class is after all, even collectively, like our colors, true blue.
