Will anb (Testament We, the Class of 1930, of the Edmonds High School, realizing our immediate departure for unknown fields, have reached the momentous OC' casion when all possessions, personal or otherwise, must he gathered to- gether and disposed of. Therefore, we now distribute, bestow, award, and bequeath these various possessions, collectively and individually, as follows: Unto Mrs. Murphy, our undying gratitude for her wise and kindly guidance during our sojourn in the Senior Class. To Mr. Kellogg, Mr. Milam, and the faculty as a whole, we leave our younger brothers and sisters, upon whom to bestow all knowledge received from teaching us. To the Juniors, who will take our places, we leave an unexcelled ex- ample of a real honest-to-goodness Senior Class, for them to follow. To the Sophomores, we leave our secret of how we dash to classrooms late, give astounding excuses, and get by without admits. To the Freshmen we will a formula guaranteed to remove all stains or bright colors (especially green.) Helen Conklin bequeaths her stateliness and superfluous height to Margaret Scanlon, for Margaret really needs it. Ruth Bently leaves her typing ability and willingness to type anything for anyone at any time to any first year student. Tommy Scanlon leaves his boisterousness to Evelyn Treff with hope that she will not be so quiet in the future. Florence Davis leaves her good frame of mind to the manual training department. Joe Harper leaves his knowledge of women to Ralph Hildebrand, that he might go through school unmolested by class sirens. Art Wiegand leaves a number of dusty, and very stiff English text hooks to the highest bidder. Pearl Murie, Vesta Yost, and Alice Kronquist leave their good grades to some poor flunking Junior. Nedra Bacon leaves her red hair and freckles to Myrtle Kjosen. Zach Allen leaves his ability to score many points in basketball to next year’s center. “Clip” Gillies leaves her smile and pleasing personality to he divided among the Junior lasses. Beate Gyldenfeldt leaves her hearty laugh and goodmatured wit to Carol Cruickshank. Mary Alice Drake wills her hook “How to Eat Peanuts with a Fork to Jesselyn Demmons. Ernest Siegrist leaves his pet name of Squeek to Mr. Milam to he nineteen

As Freshmen, under the kindly guidance of Mr. Rinehart, we showed our first symptoms of good taste and gray matter by choosing Clara Pen- nock as our president. We were fifty in number then and took part in many activities. A member of our class won the County Declamatory Contest. Again, in our Sophomore year, Clara was our president. We gave our first party, a Japanese affair, and proved ourselves worthy of socially en- tertaining our elders. Mr. Raymond Johnson was our worthy advisor . during that year of our dreadful worries. Mr. Raymond Johnson, in our Junior year, began his reign over us but became ill and Mr. Hatch finished the sentence. “The Bashful Mr. Bobbs” was presented by the class and proved to be very successful. Howard Dent was president of the class the first semester, and Johnny Hovde, the second semester. We are Seniors now, dignified and sophisticated. Mrs. Murphy, who is our beloved friend and advisor, coached our play “The Whole Town’s Talking,’’ a three-act comedy by John Emerson and Anita Loos, and led us safely through all of our difficulties. Our “Harvest Time Party,” like all other Senior activities, was a great success. The Senior Class has been well represented in all school activities. Seniors on the basketball team were: Zach Allen, Ernest Siegrist, Arthur Wiegand, Joe Irby, and Johnny Hovde. Seniors were well represented in girls’ athletics and we're proud of the athletic achievement accomplished by Helen Conklin, who has placed on six county all-star teams. Nine seniors were Torch members, three members of the debate teams were seniors, and the Oratorical Contest on the Constitution was won by Joe Harper, who represented E. H. S. at the county contest March 28, 1930. We have enjoyed our four years at Edmonds, and are sorry to leave it; so at parting we wish to make one request; Do not Forget Us—the Class of 1930. eighteen

 transferred to some equally deserving individual. Joe Irby leaves nothing, because he has nothing to leave, taking every- thing he can get for nothing. Beatrice Higley leaves her “come-hither” eyes to Helen Stenbol. Johnny Hovde leaves his natural curl to the one who hasn't sufficient sums to purchase an artificial one. Helene Walker bequeaths anything that she forgot to remember to take with her. Clara and Art Pennock leave their brotherly and sisterly love to Art and Elizabeth Beam. David Joyce leaves his ability to score highly in the Senior Play to Wayne Perry. Dorothy Goetz leaves a book “How to be Dignified Though Small” to Nina Greene. Janice Meyer leaves her giggle to Evelyn Fox. Marcella Huston leaves her girl scout honors to Deloris Anderson. Norman Nelson leaves his hammer to quiet the seniors to Miles Hoff. Dorothea Richardson leaves her loud coat to Barbara Gillies. Helen Bartlett leaves her neat habits to anyone who needs them. Helen Siegrist leaves her ability to be a good friend and get acquainted easily to any shy Junior. Loretta Longmate leaves her baby blue eyes to Helen Howell. Ralph Schoel leaves his blase air as Roger Shields to Harry Tutmark. Bill Harries leaves his one single thought to George Law; it is hoped that there is a chance of his profiting by it. Leroy Longmate leaves a package of well-chewed gum, to be found under his typing desk for Betty Wiggen, who might need it. IN WITNESS WHEREOF we have set our hand and seal this sixth day of June, one thousand nine hundred and thirty. Signature affixed, (Seal) CLASS OF '30 HELENE WALKER, Executrix. twenty
