 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

(£lass ropl]ecu Ten years have passed since June 6, 1930, when with my thirty-two classmates I took the tinal degree. Being satisfied with my own accorn- plishments and having realized my dream of becoming press agent to the famous Letty Lythe, I wondered whether my friends had been as successful as I, so I took a journey back to dear old Edmonds. And what a changed place it is! At first I did not recognize it, but upon seeing several “Yost” signs I at once felt at home. I hailed a passing taxi and imagine my surprise when Zach Allen stepped out to assist me. Immediately I began to pump him. How's Vesta? Where’s Ruth? Is Tommy still as funny as ever? etc., etc. After Zach's promise to take the day off and show me around, I calmed down and we rode around. On Fifth Street I spied a giant dressmaking establishment with a beau- tiful gown in the window and remarked about it. Zach informed me that it was owned by Nedra Bacon and Dorothy Goetz and that the gown was a creation by Catherine Gillies. Just about that time we passed up a red light and therefore received a yellow ticket. I was worried, but Zach seemed well-at-ease, and no won- der for the presiding judge was Norman Nelson. By this time it was noon, so Zach said, “Come on home with me for lunch, Helene.” Eagerly I accepted, for as you doubtlessly know I am fond of my calories. We arrived at a cute little bungalow—and were greeted by Beatrice Higley—or rather Mrs. Allen. Between bites of a de- licious luncheon I learned that Janice Meyer and Tommy Scanlon were married and were the proud parents of a Junior Scanlon. Also that Helen Conklin, Helen Bartlett, and Loretta Longmate were all married. Luck seemed to be with me for “Beachy” was giving a tea the next afternoon to a few of the girl members of our 1930 class. Ruth Bendy, private secretary to Mary Alice Drake, the inventor of the “Mary Alice” Kissproof lipstick; Florence Davis, the wife of Ralph Schoel, the famous novelist; Clara Pennock Lambe, Helen Siegrist, the tennis champion; Pearl Murie, the artist; Vesta Yost, teacher of Spanish at the University of Washington; Janice, Dorothy Goetz, Nedra and “Clip” were among those present. I will try to tell you some of the gossip that they told me. Beate Gyldenfeldt is in New York starring musical comedy. Bill Har- ries turned out to be a regular heart-breaker—having married and divorced three wives. Dorothea Richardson is a teacher of dancing in the Fiji Is- lands. Johnny Hovde had just divorced his wife because she trumped his ace in bridge. Joe Harper is a famous grand opera star in Paris. Marcella Huston is a lecturer on Nature Studies. David Joyce is on the legitimate stage. Arthur Wiegand is a tuberculosis specialist. Alice Kronquist is head nurse at the Orthopedic Hospital. Ernest Siegrist is the Edmonds dog-catcher. Joe Irby is in Congress. Leroy Longmate is owner of a Dog Biscuit Factory and Art Pennock is business manager of the new Edmonds Theatre. Now that I have told you everything of interest about our class of 1930, I must be off. HELENE WALKER. twenty'two
