ALUMNI I believe in the United States of America as a govern- ment of the people, by the people, for the people, whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed, a demo- cracy in a republic, a sovereign nation of many sovereign states, perfect union, one and inseparable, established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it: to support its constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its flag' and to defend it against all enemies.

to New York. Here I recognized Jean Johnson, who was a great opera. singer at the Metropolitan and was married to Paul Robinson. I looked a little further in New York, and who should l see but Bernice Otto sitting at the Editor's Desk of the New York Times . I moved the telescope until I saw Washington, D. C., where I spied Mr. Don McConnell carrying mail. Just then I remembered seeing in the newspaper that he had received his fifth divorce. Being disappointed in females he had decided to become a ma.ilman. Next I focused my telescope across the water to Switzer- land. Here I saw Viola Gudeman running a large school for skiing. Helping her was a French Marquis who, I calculated, was her husband. After this interesting experience Iwas just ready to return the telescope to Jolly Joe when my eye caught China, and here I saw Melvin Stock and Betty Ripley who were happily married. Looking closer I saw that Betty was doing Missionary work in China, she was teaching little Chinese children how to Jitterbug . Out in the street I saw Melvin drawing a Rickshaw. It is now time for me to check up on the old dressing race, I heard Jolly Joe say, so my adventure was over. I left the studio and got into my car and headed for home. On the way home I thought of all those I had seen through the magic telescope and decided I had seen the whole senior class of 1940. CLASS WILL ICONTIUED , Bernice Edna. Otto do hereby will and bequeath my poetic a.bility to Mr. Von Behren so that he can teach poetry instead of History to his succeeding Senior Classes. I, Annabel Leigh do hereby will and bequeath my ability in leadership to George Keitzmann. I, Eldon Wayne Eckersly do hereby will and bequeath my shyness to Wayne Denman, which I am sure he can use quite appropriately in Music Class. In witness whereof, we are here unto set our hand and seal this twenty third day of May in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and forty. fSignedJ The SENIOR CLASS OF '40.
