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. P. P. H. '24

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

A. H. ’24 -----------m----------- OUR HIGH SCHOOL Our High School is more wonderful than any in the land, The students are all perfect and easily kept in hand; We have a corps of teachers whose judgment we cannot doubt, And when a tyrant misbehaves he’s sure to be kicked out. Peace and quiet reign supreme in every hall and room, During the hours of study all is silent as a tomb; The great offense of tardiness has now been long extinct, All crime is now abolished by our superior instinct. It never enters our minds to waste the shortest moment; We love to plug along with energy most diligent; Each month the whole enrollment is placed on the honor roll, The principles of scholarship are deep within our soul. At parties we conduct ourselves with perfect dignity, We gaze on noise and boisterousness with all hostility; The girls are fair and beautiful as you could wish to see. The boys are clever and handsome as any boys could be. But now, dear reader, we must say that all this junk is bunk, For every time there is a test two-thirds of us do flunk. The faculty can’t seem to see the virtues which we boast; We have to study hardest when we want to loaf the most. L. P. M. D., ’24
