JIIQPMI-EEG 'l Clays PW!! IQZI We, the most honorable and dignified class that has ever de- parted from C. H. S., this class of 1921, Washington High School, Coffeyville, Kansas, Montgomery County, being of our usual sound mind and gravity, do this memorable day, ordain this our last WILL and TESTAMENT, and desire that these, our most valued possessions, be disposed of in the following manner, and if any one be dissatisfied please make the best of it, as we will earnestly endeavor to do justice unto all. Just what we mean by justice will be determined in the following pages. Friends and Fellow Countrymen: You may now take out your handkerchiefs while we deal out the sad remains. First-We wish to extend our warmest appreciation and hearty thanks to the faculty, who so untiringly have guided us through our High School days. Second-Allow us to leave to Mr. Decker, several of the most accomplished stenographers of next year's advanced shorthand class. Third--To Mr. McMillan, our most honored and beloved principal, we very unselfishly leave a certain dark haired member of the Faculty. Mac is out-growing that embarrassing habit of blushing so deeply. Maybe he isn't as bashful as he looks. Fourth-We bequeath to the Juniors, our places of honor in Chapel, and our Senior dignity. May they carry the good work on. Fifth-By a unanimous vote, we turn over to the Sophomores our pep. Oh! Sophomores take it. God only knows you need it. Sixth--To the Freshmen we wish to say that we have bought a large supply of Eagle Brand Condensed Milk with our surplus treasury money so we hope this will at least keep you quiet next year, so the other classes may Work. Aubrey Neale wills his loud mouth to Bob Sticelber and Thelma Miller. fLet's have no quarrelingj. 1991 l2l ,. -,

TIQQTEG the World by hard labor. The last I heard of them they were picking Bananas in the Philippines. Hazel Veal owns a large poultry farm near Peru-she makes a specialty of the guinea pig, which she considers a very rare and intelligent species of Noahs Ark. Edna Levan runs a fishing schooner on the Verdigris. She finds oil sardines very plentiful as well as profitable. Vesta Murray is now engineer for the Missouri Pacific. Since she obtained the position the train runs five minutes faster than its usual time. Marguerite Gabler is roasting peanuts for the Elephants in the Pasadena Animal Zoo. Katie Andrews has a responsible Government position-lick- ing Postage Stamps for Parcel Post. Oh, Folks, I almost forgot to tell you about something real funny. You remember Elizabeth Bailey and Ruth Richardson, Well, to make a long story short, they got together and decided they had extraordinary minds. In fact, they became so infatuated with this idea-they are riding burros all over the Rocky Moun- tains-looking for a Bird's Eye View of a Gold Mine. Well, my Task is ended, I've writ you all I know, So I'll lay down my Thoughts all in a row, And count them one by one-just so. I find they Say, without Delay, Good Luck to the Class of '21. , Yours as Ever, -Geneva LaFaye. I , I I 1921 l2l lil

CT' JHQMJLQG 'Q' Paul Richardson's greatest heighth goes to Jake Stahl. Ralph Cammack bestows upon Stella Schneider his love, and faithfulness for shorthand. Now Stella, we don't mean to in- sinuate you need it. Vernola Fitzgerald leaves her gift of gab to Fern Davenport and Paul Haggard.

Elsie is no W giving all her spare time to Winkle, as you perhaps all know. The Senior class wishes to donate to the Salvation Army, Lela Varney's canary like voice. We think it can be preserved by not using it too much in the open. John Young's contagious giggle to Calvert Durand. Fay Bruce's bewitching voice, which has rung out in the Audi- torium many years, to Nellie Davis, Jewel Ferguson and Ruby Ross. It is to be evenly distributed.
