CR.UX-HI-SKAN Class Prophecy, Senior HAVING often been declared by my class mates to have the power of prophecy, and the ability of looking into the future, 1 was chosen by them to write the Senior Class prophecy, and one day as I was pondering over their future, and was wishing them success in life, 1 suddenly and unexpectedly fell under the power of a spirit. It seemed to lead me toward a house at the front of which I found a guide, who told me that this was a house of mysteries. He also told me that if I should enter this house, I would find a message from each member of the Class of ’14, which had graduated from the Crooksville High School eight years before. As 1 was very anxious to hear from them, he showed me into the house immediately. The house was beautifully furnished, and as I entered I noticed a number of telegrams lying on a table, which the guide told me to read. They were as follows: Columbus, O.—Four years ago today 1 graduated from the O. S. I’. I am now married to a beautiful young lndv, whom I met while in High School. We will make our home in Washington, where I have been elected a member of House of Representatives. Yours truly. JNO. BENNETT.

The spell broke anil I again was my former self, finding this to lx only a vision. And again, I say that whatever the path may lx that each one shall lend, wc wish them success and a bright and happy future. ' PKARL HEARING.

f Senior Class Will Last Will and Testament of Class '14 ' E, the Senior Class of 1914, not having much more time to spend in our school world, and being possessed of a sound mind, have concluded to draw up our last will and testament, bequeathing what few worldly possessions and special privileges, we happen to possess, of course you are aware of the fact that we are not rich in either of these, so do not be disappointed if your legacy does not come up to your expectation €J First, to the Juniors, we bequeath our seats, which are. as every one knows, the best seats in the High School. The windows on the left afford an excellent view of the city. To look out these windows, at times, has the tendency to break the monotomy of the same old routine of studies. We hope you take pride in keeping these seats free from marks and scratches, as they have been kept before. €J We also do bequeath you our laboratory and the paraphernalia stored therein. In connection with this we also bequeath you our laboratory privileges, which we hope you will not abuse. 1 To the High School in general we bequeath our mascot, which we desire, should remain in the same position on the piano in the assembly room. We hope that you cherish this emblem of esteem highly. €] For the Freshman Class we do bequeath our clock, which has served us so well for the past six years, on condition that you have it repaired and hang it in your room. We would advise, that in taking care of this dear old clock, you will be very careful and see that the janitor will wind it every Monday morning, and it would also please us very much if, once in a while, when inquiring the hour from this faithful doctor of time, you would think of us. the Senior Class of ’14. 1 To the Sophomores we bequeath our pledge of friendship, and all the wealth of love and blessing they should wish. We leave you our footsteps to follow in and we hope you may ever move onward keeping old ’14 standard in full view. JTo the Juniors we do bequeath our Geometry, Latin, German. Physics, etc., which we hope you will study diligently and strive to come up to the record that has been set by the proceeding class. Now, we know that it is not probable that you may study all of these branches, yet, we hope you will study and be serious in whatever you undertake and try to set a good example for the classes which are to follow you. J To the Faculty we do bequeath many happy thoughts of our class and many restful and peaceful hours. ] We do hereby constitute and appoint Supt. E. D. Bates, sole executor of this our last will and testament. In witness thereof, we, the Class of 14, have to this will, set our hand and seal this 22nd day of May, A. D., 1914. JOHN HULL, LILLIAN RICKETTS, Committee.
