H CLASS WILL When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for us, the Seniors of 1920 to dissolve the precious bonds which have connected us with the loved ones who are to follow, being of sound mind and in order to show our bereavement we make this our Last Will and Testament decla.ring all others void: To Mr. Walker, our worthy superintendent and chum, we. wish to leave fond mem- ories, many friends and our appreciation for his help as our adviser. To Mr. Zechiel we bequeath a set of slightly used nerves and our dignity. To 'Miss Buswell, our noted music and art teacher, we leave 'one hundred copies of Speed Our Republic. After a long and exciting debate about our noisiness, we leave to Miss Moss, Quietness, to be distributed through the following Senior class, to preserve her patience. To 'Miss Deerhake we leave our Latin ponies to be ridden by the Caesar classes. To Miss Reed we bequeath our ability to keep late hours and still maintain per- fect order in the study hall. To the Juniors we bequeath lour reputation for brilliancy and good behavior and the privilege of the new school house. To the Sophomores we bequeath a little more pep and advice to follow our lillus- trious example rather than the Juniors. To the Freshmen we leave three long years of hard wolrk, but with all the plea- sures found therein. I, Zella Alberts, after due consideration, will about 25 inches of my height to Russell Currens. Ruth Behmer, very busy on account of her vocal weaknesses and popularity, has requested me to say for her that she wills aforesaid properties to Roth Cline and to Cecil Brooke. I, Glenn Behmer, bequeath my place in the class of 1920 to Paul Humbert, know- ing they will receive you with great love for my sake. I, Mary Alice Buswell, leave my secreut on how to get through high school in four years to Bob Joplin. I, Mildred Castleman, do will with the greatest of pleasure all stamps and en- velopes which may be found Lin the assembly, and my poetic brains, to George War- ner and Burford Voreis. I, Marion Crandall, hereby will twelve dozen discarded vanity cases to the Ath- letic association to be disposed of, providing the proceeds be used to buy monograms for next year's B. B. stars. I, Reynold Crossland, leave all of my bashfulness to Merril Crabb. I, .Elsie Curtis, have decided to wiill and bequeath my lofvely blush in good working order to Roy Overmyer to go along with his other ladylike qualities. Page Twenty-six

should happen to come .into the office but Kathryn Parker, head of the English De- partment. She said she was to be married in June, but refused to tell the name of the lucky man. She went with us to the train and wished us good luck as it pulled out of the statrion. X Alice and I were deeply .interested in talking to each other when we heard a fa- miliar voice say, Tickets, please. In astonishment we recognized Harold Robinson. A little later he came back to talk with us and as usual he knew about everything. He told us that Lawrence Rollins was studying dentistry with his brotherg that Es- ther Voreis had fallen heir to several millions and was living at Palm Beachg that Maryalice Buswell and Reynold Crossland were in New York City. Maryalice was do- ing settlement work and Reynold was a civ.il engineer. Harold gave us their addresses and when Alice and I reached New York we gave Maryalice such a surprise that she would hardly believe that it was we. She said that she was enjoying her work immensely and had just received a letter from 'Mar- garet Shilling, who was studying music in France. She asked if I knew where Cai. Adams was. I told her that I bel.ieved he was still Waiting in the bank for Margaret to come back to Culver. The next afternoon we called on Reynold Crossland. He was just leaving his office with a large box of roses and to our surprise we learned that they were for our old classmate, Zella Albert, a nurse in one of the New York hospitals. We went with him to the hospital and Zella told us that Reynold had been badly .injured in an explosion and she had nursed him back to health. She had a beautiful little solitaire on her left hand and we could easily guess who had placed it there. Reynold linformed us that Carl Warner was the director of a moving picture company and was making good. We also learned that 'Mildred Irwin was a movie actress and had been a star .in several good plays. I had written to my brother Glenn that I was going to Paris and he and his wife, whom he had married in France, came to- the docks to bid us good b'ye. Our voyage was fine and the clothes Alice bought were simply beautiful. After spending two months in France we returned home. The date of the wedding had been set for the twentieth of June and a lovelier bride I have never seen than the one who was led to the altar on that beautiful morning .in June.
