SENIOR CLASS WILL Lying here in a state of moronic disability and with the last will and testament before us, we, the Class of '43, write this last symbolic evidence of our existence in the past fourfyear world of torture.

Article II-To the Alma Mater we leave four years of pleasant memories, and may her noble teachings guide us through the right paths of life. Article III-We leave the faculty running the school, hoping they are capable, and a small sum of money for future bromofseltzers. Article IV-To the future seniors of '44, we leave our seats in assembly, our cooperative ability in staff meetings, and the fellows to the draft board to do as they wish. Article V-To the sophomores we leave our wolves and hope the girls can handle them as well as we did. We also leave them our integral honesty in quizzes.

SEN ICR CLASS PROPHECY As our huge transport was about ready to take off, two people hurried up to the door. As the stewardess, Thelma Taylor, helped them in, we recognized Congressman Frederick Kruse and his invaluable secretary, Ida Mae Stork As they claimed their seats, which of all things were just behind Mrs. Holland Qyou used to know her as Sue Weislogelj returning to her home in California after visiting her parents, Pilot Bob Gidner entered to check over the passenger list and then returned to help co-pilot Dick Sample inspect the controls. I won' der who that fellow is sleeping in the front seat? Gosh, someone just dropped a briefcase of music on the floor. Why Jean Walter! When did you get back from St. Louis? Did you see Esther Payne at the airport? She was on her way to Chicago to take part in another roundftable discussion. I see Roger Kruse is still taking reconnaissance pictures for the government, and his assistant fit's permanent nowj, Nina Lewis, is always with him. Ouch! We must have hit an air pocket-or maybe Mildred Anderson is up forward trying to take over the controls. She evidently didn't get enough flying with the W.A.F.S. Isn't that a huge farm down there? Whom did you say owned it? Richard East! That's right, I remember nowg Tony Desko is his foreman, isn't he? Hello, Seymour. Congratulations on your team's fine work. It must feel good to be the coach of the champions of the eastern colleges! Just about everyone from old F. H. S. is here. I see Evelyn Pastorius must have decided flying was safer than learning to drive. She and Elma Hotchkiss have had some great times traveling around the country together. We must be stopping to pick up more passengers. Shall we get out and walk about a bit? Isn't this a beautiful airport? Do you see who the manager is? Marion Rosenberg. She just can't keep away from them. She even has Dorothy Kauffman as her typist. There goes our signal to take off again so we must be getting back to the plane. Our new passengers are already seated. Isn't that successfulelooking woman very familiar? Yes, she is, it's Berdena Schluraff. She tells us that Betty Ann Walter has just become head sales manager for a large mailforder house. This, a fleeting streak of silver into the vast blue sky, symbolizes our journey into the deep, unknown future. Oh, yes. That fellow sleeping in the front seat? That's Dick Payne, going fishing in the West on his government pension. EVELYN Pasrokum SENIOR PLAY This year's senior play, Don't Look Now by J. Dan Fairman and directed by Miss Elizabeth Summerville, will take place on May 14th. The play revolves around the expected visit of a rich nephew to the Sherman family, but on his way he is attacked by gangsters. He escapes in tramp's clothing and makes his way to the Sherman house, only to be unidentified and treated in the manner of a tramp. The com' plication set in with the remainder of the family and friends taking part, but everything turns for the better in the final scenes. As yet, the cast has not been chosen, but we feel sure that the play will be a huge success and that it will be long remembered as a happy senior farewell by the audience and the mem' bers of the senior class.
