Class Prophecy Cartooned and Written by Zoe Kelsey Oh how are the seniors now scattered so far? They're all well and happy, this side of the bar, l If you think the beauty of this book 'twould not mar, I'll so gladly tell you just how they all are. The kind-hearted Maren, who'd not mix in our spats, Runs a neat little home for all broken- .,- v down cats. -V fi x , ,Y 1-' She feeds them on quinine and strych- Q' l 1, -I nine and rats, 'V will 3 --ef- And weeps with dismay when the kit- tens go bats. Have you seen the last paper? There's tumult all o'er. Harold Aggeler's resigned-he's in Senate no more! At the very first session he set up a roar, And the next thing he knew he was outside the door. See a home decorated with hangings most rare, And someone awaiting fas though she might carey, For a man with a smile and a shock of brown hair, And you know without telling 'tis june i A - waiting there. Who would have believed it? You'll die of surprise, .S For as sure as a fly has a hundred eyes, P'-.abifii l Bessie Cook's sweeping the far north- ,-it--gijgix A i'4 :+.' , ern. skies, . . as An aviatrix, with mail from Nome to Sunrise. 17

Class Will We, the illustrious and mighty class of the year of our Lord, one thousand, nine hundred and seventeen, knowing our days in the Ferndale Union High School are num- bered and being sound of mind and body, do desire to will and bequeath our property in the following manner, to wit: I, Harold Aggeler, do bequeath to the Student Body a life size statue of myself to be placed in some conspicuous part of the building, so that every trembling Fresh- man may gain renewed strength from a glance,at my noble figure. I, Sadie Ambrosini, commonly known as 'Ambrose, will my meek and retiring manner to Ida Montgomery. I, Alice Bessemer, leave my bird-like trills of laughter in sewing, to Ila Kelly, hoping she may find something cheerful in that subject. I, Gladys Bugbee, do solemnly part with my bottle of peroxide willed me last year, hoping that Velda Lund will make as good use of it as I have. I, Cyril Collins, leave several inches of my extreme height to Cyril Ries trusting that he will soon become grown. Q I, Bessie Cook, bequeath my amazingly full and deep contralto voice to Eva jen- mngs. I, Frank Francis, knowing that my time is short and wishing to dispose of my most valuable possession, do bequeath my ability to bluff my teachers to Fritz Haas, but advise him to be very careful in the use of same. I, Sadie French, wish to leave my ability as an amateur actress to Alma Marten- sen, charging her to make good use of said talent. I, Linus Hicks, do leave my stylish and dignified appearance, together with my golashes and bath bun to Earnest Lanini, solemnly requesting him to use all. I, Zoe Kelsey, gladly bequeath my look of complete innocency and meekness to Ross Goble, in the hope that he may derive benefit from same during assembly periods. I, June Meng, hand down to the following generation, my executive ability. To the faculty I leave Robert's Rules of Order, that they may become as proficient in parliamentary law as I am. I, Clinton Morrison, do sadly part with my girlish beauty and worthy manners, bestowing same upon Timothy Canty. I, Ida Oeschger, leave my athletic prowess and my ability to see the bright side of life to Barrett Cook. I, Mary Renner, do will my German ability to Raymond Macken so that he may learn some new German phrases, as his are getting stale. I, Marion Reynolds, bequeath my curls, vanity case and powder puff to Mary Ambrosini. I, Maren Skow, leave my large twinkling eyes to Chubby Erickson, hoping that they will relieve the shade of seriousness which rests upon his face. I, Gertrude Smith, bequeath my studious habits to Bert Kelsey feeling confident that he will benefit by the same. As a class we wish to give the following: lst. To the Juniors, our studiousness, athletic ability, regular attendance, our originality-knowing they are sadly in need of it-and most important of all, the honor of becoming Seniors. Znd. To the Sophomores, our dramatic ability, our love of the dear old F. U. H. S., our sunny corner in the Assembly Hall and all the sweet notes in the desks thereof. 3rd. To the Freshmen, all our old pencils, not exceeding two and one-half in- chesg all our old erasers, blotters and pens. We also wish to leave to the dear little things all cuds of gum we may have left adhering to desks or banisters, knowing that they need something to soothe and calm their young and restless jaws. 4th. To Mr. Grant, our esteemed principal, a life long remembrance of the Class of '17, for we were Freshmen together. Sth. To Miss Clyne, our class adviser, an unbroken succession of restful nights and peaceful dreams. No longer need she worry! 6th. To Miss Herdeg, a grave, solemn shorthand class and also an unlimited sup- ply of mirth subsiding glances. 7th, To Miss Moser, a year in which every girl will put away her own things in Domestic Science. 8th, To Miss Portlock, our large collection of songs, hoping that she will enter- tain the Student Body for the coming year. 9th. To Mr. Brown, a patent knocker to help him keep order. Pencils are rather fragile and they have gone up in price. l0th. To Mr. Reiben, our heartiest gratitude and sincere affection. 11th. To the Enterprise, our city paper, we bequeath all amazing knowledge and startling information with which we have furnished our teachers in examinations from time to time, in the hope that the editor will publish same, as we believe a great many of these things have never been heard before and will serve to enlighten the world. Signed, CLASS OF 'l7. 16
