SENIOR CLASS WILL Qfl UU Dearly Beloved-we are gathered together here to perform a sad and solemn duty. The Spectre has stretched forth its gaunt hand and snatched the fairest Flower from our midst. But the dear one who has passed on has left behind a glorious recordsone that will never be forgottenfa shining example for those who come after. Many tried and true friends mourn the departure of the class of l92O whose last will and testament will now be read. lVe, the Seniors of Delphi High School, Class of l92O, knowing that the end is drawing near, do desire to bestow and bequeath our worldly posses- sions and advice among those who survive us. NYe futher desire that this will be executed on the twenty-eighth day of May, nineteen hundred and twenty. To our beloved Mr. Cripe we leave our knowledge of Chemistry. JVC have no further use for it and feel that you may need it next year. To our dear friends, the Juniors, we leave the record of our grades. May they inspire you to greater efforts so that you too can reach the goal which we have won. To the people of Delphi we leave the sweet memory of plays, programs and minstrels with which we have entertained them in the past and the equal of which they will never see again. To Beatrice Rees we leave the make-up box of Mabel Sites-lip stick, rouge, eyebrow pencil-feverything complete, just as dear girl left it. 'l'o Raymond CJackJ Johnson we grant Bill McCormic'kls famous whistle. Raymond has such a musical nature. and with the whistle and his music box he should be able to create quite a sensation. To Thelma Gustavel we have awarded June Casley's farsfamed 'fjiggingf' We feel sure that Thelma will carry on the good work which June has so nobly started. To Meredith Carney we leave Lorene llinkle's position in the office. Meredith's promptness and energy have won this coveted position for her.

The loss of his dear one must be almost greater than he can bear. To dear little Reynolds llickman we bequeath the amazing popularity of Leonard Raider. XYe feel that the many disappointments of his Freshman year have entitled him to this consideration. To 'lJl16l1llIl Fiant and Robert Roach we leave a wireless telephone which will save them much valuable time as there will be no further necessity for writing ten-page notes during school time. To Xvllllillll Hoshaw we leave Lawrence tFatj Margowski's size-yes Vxlillie, his height as well as width. To lfva Boone we bequeath Carolyn Kirkpatrick's 'fvampinessf' VVe feel sure that Eva will prove an apt pupil and will profit by her legacy.

She says that the quiet peaeefulness of a Mexican revolution will be a blessed relief after three years of married life. Mrs. R. Ci. Bradshaw, formerly Miss Loreen XVingard, has made a practice of saving up calendars for the last ten years. She says that her hus- band is very fond of pudding so she always keeps plenty of dates on hand. They still observe Saturday night as usualf' Editor's Note: The above is of mysterious origin.

After weighing the matter thoroughly, he opened the tube and found the above. lle has requested that the Senior Class pay for the skylight. THIHTY TNYO
