THE FRANCILLIAN - SENIOR CLASS VVILL FINISHED at last! We feel over- joyed, but then, on second thought, a little sad. Laying all sentimental feelings aside, we want to get d-own to the main purpose of this choice document. A Her-e's to our kind faculty Who patiently convey To us all knowledge we acquire In our hapfpy, carefree way- We, without a doubt, the most studious, staple, steadfast, steady, stately, stated, staunch stand-patters of F. H. S., as well as the most mas-terful, miraculous, modernized, mindful multitude that has or ever will graduate from this superior or- ganization, h-ereby, unwillingly and without due reason acknowledge our generous bequeathals to the unscru- pulous, undescribable, unspeakable, unwiel-dy, unwitting, upstarts of the Junior Class who are nothing but duly dull, dumb duffers, dudes and ducklings ranking first among the dummies of the ldumbells. May you slipshod sleuthhounds profit greatly by our miscellaneous attempts to help your brainless brainstorms. Thanks, Mr. Sharp, for your faith- ful guidance. We leave to you the fine s-tudenlt body and our sincere hopes for as successful a year 37-38 as was 36-37. To our energetic sponsor, Mr. Nel- son, we leave tbushels of thanks for help and worthwhile advice he so willingly gave us. Also for this chem- istry teacher, our class has decided to leave a can of imported oxide of some sort or other. You'll receive this C. O. D., Mr. Nelson. To our coach, Mr. Alfred Himelick, we leave a search light to aid in lighting the alley while he searches for his wandering basket ball team. To Mr. Port, we leave a telescope so he may see w.ho really is whisper- ing in his assemblies. Mis.s Riggs, we leave the exclusive right to correct anyone of your class at a moments notice. We can faintly hear from typing room. To Mr. Shull, we leave an energetic group of band members who faith- fully promise to eat candy at the right place and at the right time. To Miss Low, we leave a studious, ever-ready, noiseless never-to-erase tylping class. This should be encour- aging, Miss Low, you need not repeat announcements. To Mr. Detamore, we're leaving our sincere hopes for a donkey bas- ketball game each year. We know how you enjoyed t-he .las-t one. We also leave thanks for our multiplica- tion tables, you so generously pound- ed into our heads. To Miss Burget, we leave a large roll of free tickets to be used on the new lndianapolis-Gary bus line. Do,n't get excited, Miss Burget, we have arranged for the tickets to be for use in going from Francesville 'to Lafayette. ' For our industrious janitor, Mr. Myers, we're leaving all that expen- sive chewing gum we .bought and then had to discard on account ot teachers' wishes, particularly book- keeping teachers. Keith Jackson said he wasn't sure which desk it was, but one of them has 4 packages of Dentine in the upper left hand mid- dle corner. All Seniors are collecting all their old costumes worn in Mrs. Bess My- ers' room to leave for future enter-I tainment. For some lucky little boy, a certain boy of the Senior class is leaving the prettiest pair .of purple f - -. These are es-pecially adapted for kings. To Mrs. Kopka, we leave the right to drive any car, at any rate, at any time, in any town: also a bottle of Nervine, for laid, Mrs. Kopka-we understand it's excellent for nerves. A butler? Yes sir, yes sir, that's what we're leaving Miss Koster. Why? So sh-e'll have someone to answer those many mysterious, mis- cellaneous knocks on her class-room door. We Seniors have been constructing a paddling machine ,to leave to Miss Bessie. To explain its operation and construction, you sort of have to use your imagination. Remember, Miss Bessie, spare the rod and save the child. To Miss Finnegan, we leave an automatic chair so she may see her entire class without leaving her desk. Roy Osburn, our faithful basket ball student m.anager is set on the idea of leaving a pack of puttees for our notable forward's basket ball playing next year. He calculates that Ray Render used at least one half of our first aid equipment thi-s year on his ever scratched legs. June Morgan leaves her E's and S's to Jack Alkire. Keep up -the good work, Jackie, and you'll no -doubt graduate yet. 1937

THE FRANCILLIAN Florence Kruger 'passes -that old come and get me look on to poor, heartbroken, timid Nancy Wuethrich. Joseph Manion leaves his skill in love making to Merl Anders-on. Mildred Wuethrich, M.argaret Wolf is leaving you a mind of iigures for use in next year's bookkeeping. P. S. Don't get the giggles. Dorothea Severns leaves her danc- ing ability to Charles Walls, the Fred Astaire of the Junior Class. Lookout! Here comes a chevy- Toot Toot-now w.hat does that mean? What? Who said anything about Perry Long and Toots Fitz- patrick? Although Glendoris Tillett hates to part with her w-ork sheets and trial balances, she now announces that she is leaving one practice set and two work books for checking and double check-ing the work of the prospective bookkeeper, Mary Long. Doris Kopka ibequeaths her long practiced talent of calling cows in the m-oonlight to the prize winning agricultural student of the Junior Class, Mary Margaret Surber. Eugene Page, Ruth Gutwein im- poses upon you to suggest at every class meeting next year a roller skat- ing party. To any Junior girl already having plans for the future, Mardella Eide leaves her winning way, and ever- lasting smile. Don't you think sfo? In next year's typing class Ralph Steffel leaves best wishes to Ray Render. And here's another generous be- quea-thal-Streamlined Sue, alias Hilda Gutwein, leaves her body by Fisher to Miss Esther Cords. A bookkeeping student has been quoted as saying, I c-an't see the cause of so much expense for veter- inarian service, although Mr. Long says Dr. Byrd's charges are very reasonable. Lenora Kelley wills one of her winning smiles to Paul Graves so he'll have something to encourage him to live. Herald Bailey leaves his ambition to Paul Farney. Junior Wuethrich wills Dorothy Arpostol a box of chocolates, because it's the last time he'll have a c.hance to give her a gift before the assembly. Jimmy Hamlblin hereby signifies that he is leaving his straight S's to Jean Lehmann. He says -that with this support Jean sh-ould ibe able to raise her grades to at least F's dur- ing her Senior Year. Mardella Eide leaves her ability to o-btain a diamond to Donna Jeanne Topp. Keith Jackson, the out-going speed demon of the Senior class, leaves Vernon Pelsy the right to drive over any road, in any town, at any speed. Keith brags that he has f-our pieces of blue cloth belonging formerly to four different policemen's uniforms on the front bumper of his chevy. Odetta Kesler leaves her quietness to Melba Lindsey. And to Mildred Wuethrich and Joe Fritz two distinguished Seniors leave the right to entertain any boy or girl at all hours of the night. Signed -Wilma Koebcke and Johnny Han- cock. . Our darling, dainty, dalfy, dandy dancer, Alice Hill, who can round dance. square dance, straight dance, and tap dance, bestows this enjoyable asset on Joe Fritz. Practice makes perfect, Joe. Maybe you'll win a Marathon, some day. The latin ability of Lucille Schlat- ter is left to the master-mind, of the Juni-or class. H-e speaks eight filler- en-t languages-Jack Alkire-yes slr, that's the fellow. Having had as much experience as I have, I personally wish to encour- age the Junior class as a whole and Mary Long, in particular-to empha- size our prayer for driving safety? Rememfa-er it still depends upon 9. pair of hands on the wheel. Advice given by Maru Reish. Quit blushing. We, the Class of '37 are leaving you with the realization that no mat- ter into what walk of life we go, we will always look back on our high school days as those in which we were happiest. We hope our good spirit, our sportsmanship, and schol- arship are among the best. Friend- ships created here are lasting and deep, so remember that the friend- ships between us will be one which we shall carry with us for the rest of our lives. By Mardella Eide, Glendoris Tillett, Wilhite Foster. In m.aking decisions from conclus- ions drawn from past experiences it is necessary to leave out fancy and personal interest. He that knoweth not, and knoweth not that he knoweth not is a fool, but- He that knoweth not and knoweth that he knoweth noft is wise. 1937
