out, but at the farthest side was the outline of the forms of ranch-life and a ranch. I quickly foretold he would finally settle down on a ranch he had won in a contest for the best smile. About mawq Dell Cooileh there was a soft light and the out- lines of groups of friendly people. Here there was not much to go by, but I can truthfully foressy that our own blond mohy Defi, twenty years from now, will be taken to social affairs by her fine husband and they leave the nursery light on while they are gone. The sounds of sales talk, wrapping packages, and quiet business-like dignity prevails about Qomet Sdmom oon. My prophe- cy for her is that she will be putting four colored feathers, two hat pins, a yard of lace, and five lengths of net together on the customer's head and charging three times the price it should have been. This is in her own hat shop and she is doing fine busi- ness. mando Cotliem had a few vague outlines about her face, but the most outstanding were the outlines of offices, desks and ways of traveling. I immediately saw that she was to become a sales- wosan for an insurance firm. Quontio Howto had an array of typewriters and short-hand books about her. I foretold that she would become the most sought after private secretary in America. Her secretarial abilities were known all over the world. Domwin Qilmowe had a very confusing group of unfocused objects about him, but as with some of the others, the final success'was portrayed at the side. Be will use first one talent 'and then another, but twenty years from now his voice will be heard over all radios, sometimes giving lectures, for he is a professor, and more often starring on a musical program, for he is one of the world's best singers. il' jf'

MMM? My respected client, the Senior Class of 1946, wishes her last will and testament to be read at this time by all interested parties. I, as her lawyer, must be truthful and add that if any slight peculiarities apparent injustice or partiality in disposing of her many valuable possessions appear, please pardon it and realize it was caused by exhaustion of the brain which has never been too vigorous or well- stocked in legal matters. Her last will is as follows: I We, the Seniors of 1946, in the beloved school of Elkhart High, located in the friendly little city of Elkhart, being in as good mental condition as possible after the last trying appointments with members of the faculty, and in an excellent temper after passing these appoint- ments, do hereby make this, our last will and testament, which renders all other wills made in moments of temporary wild optimism, totally null and void. And in this manner do we dispose of our valuable possessions: ITEM: We give and bequeath, freely and without any strings attached,'to the Junior Class who is our rightful heir, our most important and valuable property, viz.: our own self-satisfaction, our great importancg our amazing wisdom, and not least of all our great tolerance of under- graduates, all of which we possess in huge quantities and which made us what we are today. We sincerely hope these priceless treasures of ours will be jealously guarded and put to good use. ITEM: Also, we wish to leave with them our mantle of Senior dignity, our good luck in winning Queens' races, our privileges and rights, ac- companied with said dignity of Seniors in class rooms and assemblies. In addition the melodious wax harps, unfinished double-bubbley un- finished Superman funnybooks, and of course, any boys and girls whom we have left behind, you will inherit. ITEM: To the Sophomore Class as a whole we leave our Wpatience and fortituden, which we think can be well used in enduring the Juniors next year. ITEM: To the childish and unsophisticated Freshmen we will leave a floor plan of our school building with the hope that they will study it and not be walked upon by the upper classmen while they are getting acquainted with the various room locations. ITEM: Our little booklet on Whow To Tell The Teachersn has been worn out from constant use, so we have completed another valuable book called WThe Teachers--Their Tempers and Treatmentu, which is to be placed in the library where all may profit by its information.
