You remember even in school Eddie's shirts and neckt-A. f'Yes, yes, I said. f'Don't speak of them please. How could I forget them? Then turning to Stan, lfVhat do you know about the old school? I asked. ' Why its wonderfully successful, Stan said, 'fever since they turned it into a kindergarten. Mr. McGonathy comes and entertains them every Jingle morning. CHO rapture! we murmured, G to be a child againlnj Our class advisors, Mr. Bradley and Mr. XVeaver, are still there. Mr. Bradley is teaching them to run the low hurdles backwards fyou know he always said he could do itj and Mr. 'Weaver teaches first principles of articulation. 'We' Terry is Girton's most popular teacher-coaches basketball and skipping rope, and under Mrs. VVinslow's manage- ment, Girton rivals the Academy. You know of 'course about Gole and Grth, spreaders of the doctrine of bone-dry prohibition. They are called Moody and Sankey the Second. Frances Pratt manages the womanis end of the campaigns- liitigs in the erring sisters by the thousands, so says Carper's Magazine, edited by ert Sp inter. Haynie is an editor, too, isn't he? asked Scotty 'fYes, said Stanly, he and Burgess own the Parisienne--Snappy Stories syndicate. They make more than any of the old class, except Erwine, the gentle- manly prize-fighter. His beautiful manners, the way he shakes hands and his habit of begging a f.ellow's pardon whenever he knocks him out make Wi'ight a universal favorite. Be's the last one I know about except Gray and Saundersf' A catch came into his voice. You heard about them, I suppose? No, we said, Wl1at is it? Are they dead. Stanly pulled himself together with an effort. Not dead, he said. Pro- fessors Too bad, too bad. Such promising boys they were, too. How did it happen? H VVell you see Gray had nervous prostration--he is head of the Depart- ment of Tatting and Saunders suffers from softening of the brain fyou probably recall his first symptomsb. They let him teach math. He turned to me. I-Iave you followed any of the class?'7 I hear from Kent occasionally, I said. He's confidental secretary to Judge Grrell. He tellsme that Admiral Fountain has orders from Secretary of the Navy Clifford to bring the Heet home at once, on account of the new trouble with hfexico. IVarner Green's Insurgents are in revolt again, and as soon as C eneral Briggs can find the army, he's to take itsouth on George's flagship. As I finished the curtain fell and we were going out when Stan drew my atten- tion to a woman in the crowd. It was Gladys Robertson. She's married now, he whispered. HI can't think what her name is. Gladys caught sight of us and we went over to her. Stan smiled. Really, you know Gladys I can't remember how you spell your name now. Vfith a quick glance she sized up the situation. Just the way it's soundedf' she said and left us with a laugh. ' Andedo you know, I haven't yet been able to find out what it is? 29 A. .

Class Will lt is now with great solemnity that we approach the funereal task of bequeathing to the class of 1918 our hereditaments, hoping that they will strive to thus attain the virtuous heights reached by the class of 1917. VVe appreciate fully the stu- pendous task which is to be placed on their young shoulders so we feel certain that there are many words of comfort and advice which we can bestow on them. So hearken ye 1918rs whilst we p1'oclaim this our last will and testament. WILL Know all men by these presents that we, of the Class of 1917 of the Evanston Academy of the Northwestern University of Evanston, in the County of Cook, in the State of Illinois, in the United States of America, being of sound and disposing mind and memory for the purpose of making a proper disposition of our possessions after our departure do hereby make, publish and proclaim the following to be our last will and testament for the uses and purposes herein set forth hereby revoking all others or former wills or codicils which we have made. First: Our chapel seats, which we have occupied daily when not called to other duties or pleasures, we readily and most gladly bequeath and hope that the Class of 1918 will profit by the words of wisdom which will fall upon their young ears. Do not whisper nor study at this time lest you be reminded un- kindly of it later. Second: To the Class of 1918 we bequeath the inspiration and spirit of determi- nation with which our athletes have fought for their HE. Third: We do also with great sorrow leave behind us the spots which have been worn in the rug in the office by the constant treading of the feet of the 1917rs. Fourth: Furthermore we do bequeath a few words of advice: . 1. Do not cut on, scratch, or stick gum under the arms of the seats in the class rooms lest your sin be rewarded by many bills and great quantities of lecturing. 2. Do not interrupt nor disturb the study hour of your neighbor nor steal his time from his lessons. 3. Do not talk about your schoolmates nor their clothes, but of your teachers you can gossip to your heart's content. 4. Do not covet your neigliborls beauty nor his books. Borrow them. 5. When your agile feet long to take you with great velocity down the main hall to the outer world, Stop! Look! Listen! 6. Refrain from studying when the campus and Chotj dogs are calling you. Fifth: To the following Senior Class, we bequeath those who were on pleasure bent. Sixth: To our beloved Academy we give all our loyalty and promises of our support forever. May we always live up to her-ideals. 31
