ITenl Senior Class lDill XVe, the members of the senior class of '25, beingl for the present sane and in our right minds, will take advantage of this temporary state and make this our last will and testament. Collectively we bestow the following: To Mr. Oertel we leave a beautiful memory of our many charming ways. To our successors, the juniors, we leave full run of the school and hope they use us as their shining example. To the faculty we leave a school full of bigger and better students and we sincerely wish them luck. Separately and individually we leave the following: I, Raymond Coupe, do solemnly bequeath my failing of falling for the English teachers to no one, knowing this way is best and safest. I, Elizabeth McEnerney, do with all possible pleasure leave my becoming shingle bob to Beatrice Harms knowing the she desires it. I, XVilliam Bowman, with the best of intentions do will my retiring disposition to Sam Christian. He knows why. I. George May, do hereby leave my privilege as iceman to cool off quickly to Mr. Billeci being in sincere sympathy with next year's classes. I, Helen Small, leave my laugh to Dorothy McEnerney hoping the variety will be pleasing. I, George Greeno, leave my wads of chewing gum to Irma Wfiles thinking she may gain a few pounds. I, Albert Calanchini, do leave the love all the girls hold for me to anyone who wants it. I I, Margaret Quiggle, leave my husband to Pauline Harvey. I know that she wants one. I, ,lack Shellenbarger, do leave my soulful eyes to Victor Lewin hoping he will be more successful in his use of them than I have been. I, Chester Crump, bequeath the girls I love to tease to Georgie I-Iousken. May he be discreet! I, Margaret Kelsey, after due consideration, decide to leave my yawn to Anita Kohnke with a license to use it whenever she pleases. I, Edward Barber, do will my wicked glances and sarcasm to Mr. Oertel, hoping that he will not use them too freely. I, Margaret Wise, leave my good marks in Geometry to some unlucky geometrist. I, XVilliam Fawcett, bequeath any old thing to any old person to show that I am not at all partial. I, Irvin Engel, do hereby leave myiright arm to my brother Kenneth hoping he may peg from home to second base. I, Dorothy Ladd, leave my tempermental disposition to Miss Morse. I, Elsie Daniels, won't leave Bennie because I'm taking him with me. I, Lucille Barquist, do bequeath my vanity case and its notorious contents to Mary Greeno and Fernanda Cinquini hoping to improve their present camoflouge. I, Richard Bates, do with regrets, leave my crop of whiskers to Baby Greeno trusting it'll make a man of him. . --Executor, Senior Class, '25. VVitnesses: Ura Goofus. Ima Nut.

Senior Prophecq Found among a collection of letters of the late George Greeno, famous evangelist. Lemmon, So. Dak. June 5, 1970. Dear old sehoolmate: I am writing you today just as I promised forty-five years ago. I am enjoying rather poor health now and am not able to sing over the radio anymore. I heard that Lucille Barquist, dear old Barky, is unhappy in the Wilderness of Africa and at last is deserting her missionary work to settle down with jack Shellenbarger who has been her co-worker for many years. They are now on their way to America. I saw Elsie Daniels the? other day. Dear Elsie has been matron of an orphanage all these years. She rarely sees any of us and would be pleased to hear from you. I went to a traveling tent show here last night and saw two of our old friends perform-none other than Ed. Barber and Dick Bates. Dick starred in acrobatic stunts while Ed. has attained great success as pianist. Irving lingel took me in his plane when I went calling last week. VVe went to see Margaret Quiggle. She is mayor of San Francisco and her poor husband sees but little of her. Dorothy Ladd is her social secretary. In the society reports of the Galt Herald I read not long ago a great deal about Bill Fawcett. It seems he's quite influential in Galt. Ray Coupe was another classmate of ours, wasn't he, George? I under- stand he has made quite a name for himself on the stage. Margaret Wise has not been heard of since her last expedition into the north. It seems that she has been quite an explorer. Bill Bowman and Beth have moved from Galt to the city to give Bill a better opportunity to develop his profession of sharpening toothpicks. I-Ielen Small has not been heard of for ages. Rumors are that she is em- ployed in the secret Sei-vice. 1 suppose you know all about Kelly, our champion athlete. His fame has spread all over the world. George May and Chester Crump are in partnership. They are the heads of a large circus that has driven Barnum and Bailey completely off the map. I guess that's about all our classmates isn't it George? It's difficult to keep track of them, they are so widely scattered over the globe. I will close now and expect to see you when you come to Lemmon, which I hope will not be long. As ever your sincere friend, Margaret Kelsey. If Elevenj
