To anybody who needs it, Lucille Peterson’s bluff. Apply early and avoid the rush. ' 5. To Sam Dunbar, Alma Heath’s shorn golden locks. 6. To Marion Peterson, Pearl Hessler’s superfluous flesh. 7. To Harris Davis, Merle Duncan’s slender lines. 8. To Ralph Micken, Frances Clapper’s ever appealing countenance. 9. To Robert Micken, Harold Plowman’s knee trousers, not his beauty. He’ll still feel the need of that, he fears, and wouldn’t be coaxed or cajoled into leaving it behind even with Robert, who needs it so badly. 10. To Evelyn Dewing, Merle Duncan’s power to vamp the boys. 11. To the Bkkg. Class, all of Pearl Hessler’s old “Bills.” 12. To George Dezort, Paul Hershey’s height and place in Basketball. 13. To Pauline Neraal, Frances Clapper’s four great problems in raising her children. 14. To some unlucky person, Alma’s car rides with William Yunck. 15. Alice leaves her old love quarrels to anybody who cares to have the responsibility. The subjoining list will be recognized as entailed estates, to which we do declare the class of 1925 the real and rightful successors: 1. Any stubs of pencils, erasers, or scraps of paper that we may inadvertently leave behind us in the excitement and haste of gathering up our cherished treasures for the last time. May they feel free to make use of them, and feel, perhaps, that they may, in some mystic way impart some of our great knowledge to them. 2. The Library which is a good place in which to hold secret conversations and a good lounging parlor for wasting time. 3. The coal bin, for all Physics Lab. experiments which must be worked in a dark room. But beware— the walls are dirty and dusty. Last comes the one thing hard for us to part with. To our successors we must leave our places in the hearts and thoughts of our principal and teachers. They will love them, unworthy as we feel they are, even as they have loved us. They will show them all the same tender kindness and attention that they have bestowed upon us; they will feel the same interests in their attempts and successes; the same sorrows when they fail. We trust that the Class of ’25 will appreciate all this as deeply as we have done, that it may be their most precious possession, as it has been ours, and the one we are most loath to hand over to them. Besides these enforced gifts, we leave, not of necessity but of our own free will, our blessing, tender memories of our tender associations together, and our forgiveness for anything that we may not have exactly appreciated in the demonstrations of the past, and a pledge of friendship from henceforth and forever. All the rest and residue of our property, whatsoever and wheresoever, of what nature, kind and quality so ever it may be, and not hereinbefore disposed of (after paying our debts and funeral expenses) we give and bequeath to our beloved principal, for his use and benefit absolutely, and to be disposed of for the good of the coming classes as he may see fit. In witness whereof, we, the Class of 1924, the testators, have to this our Last Will set our hands and seals this twenty-second day of May, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-four. SENIOR CLASS OF 1924. The following witnesses declare this will incontestable: BARNEY GOOGLE. HAMMURAPI. ANDY GUMP. M. D.—F. C. '24

And first we do direct that our funeral services shall be conducted by our friends and well wishers, the faculty, only enjoining that the funeral be carried on with all the dignity and pomp our situation in the high school scale has merited. Listen then, one and all, while I read the document as dully drawn up and sworn to. As to such estate as has pleased the Fates and our own strong hands and brains to win for us, we do dispose of the same as follows: We give and bequeath to the dear faculty, who have been our instructors in all the wisdom of the ages, a sweet and unbroken succession of restful nights and peaceful dreams. No longer need they lie awake through the long hours of the night wondering if each member of the class will have a perfect recitation the next day. It has been a hard strain on them, but they have done their duty and now they shall have their well-earned reward. To Prof. Peterson, the boys leave their cigaret stubs and their dancing slippers. To Miss Miesen, our Senior Sponsor, we leave our most sincere thanks for guiding us through all the difficulties that have darkened our path. To Mr. Griese, we leave all of our knowledge of Physics gained from our examination papers and our j right to exempt all those in next year’s Physics class. We also leave him all the castor oil that can be bought at the Cut Bank Drug Store. To Miss Conmey, we leave our old note book covers. To Mrs. Shannon we leave the care of weak and tottering Freshies and the supervision of all debate work. To Miss Funnell, we leave our knowledge of music and the hopes that some day we shall be able to play some musical instrument. To the Juniors, our insignificant successors, we leave our dignity, but we are afraid that this will be a strain upon the nerves and muscles of the gay Seniors-to-be. Our seats in the assembly hall we also bequeath to the class of ’25 and may they endeavor to fill them as advantageously, as promptly and as faithfully as we have done. To the Sophomores we leave our debating ability and the hope that some day they will know the differ- ence between a main speech and a rebuttal. To the Freshman Class any over-looked cuds of gum we may have left adhering to under-side of desks, banisters, assembly seats or any likely or unlikely places. We have sometimes had to rid ourselves of these in too much haste to be able to pick and choose the most desirable means of disposal. , The following may seems 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 a continual reminder of the generosity of heart displayed in our free and full disposal. 1. To all the future Class Presidents, Paul Hershey’s ability to convince Prof. Peterson that the Seniors are always right. 2. Alice Olsen leaves the presidency of the A. S. C. B. H. S. to any one who has the gift of gab required to fill such an office. , 3. Harold Plowman, with the consent of the Senior Class, leaves the balance of the class treasury to pay any debts which may have been acquired by us during the past year.

With fondly swelling pride our hearts and heads filled we, And hitched our wagon to the star of fame; But earnest strife 'ere long transformed our fitful fire Into the victor's calm, enduring flame. And now, when we who are about to go, take leave Of halls to which by bonds of love we’re bound, We lastly link with each the knot of friendship firm— The strongest tie which man has e’er found. L.
