31 THE RED and BLACK For Edith Clark, the remains of Estelle's, Mary's and Willie's glorious tresses, to eke out hers. For Monty, a portable gym, where he may shoot baskets to his heart's content. To little Kenneth, who loves to wander, we give that privilege, andwarn him to keep away from Bacon Street. It's dangerous! Frances is learning to dance. For Wilber we think a safety razor might not be a bad gift. Simon has invented a silencer with which he consents to part in order to keep Walt from getting into serious trouble with his mouth. For Merritt, in case he never grows up, there are the stilts Estelle has been using around school. Cashion, tired of his magnetism for the sweeter sex fof which he has made good use, bequeathes it to Harold Lambertson. fBeware! girlsj L 2 For Agnes there is an accident insurance policy and a four-leaf clover in casd of accident with her new car. H Here's a megaphone for Mildred Fosbrook. May her brilliant 'recitationsl bd heard all over the world and perhaps go down in history. . A useful gift for Harold Austin is a never empty purse. fPerhaps wefll have some peace nowj . . To Bloom. Ruth Doughty donates a mule. It may come in handysdown on the farm. .N . To Alec, we give a perpetual pass to the movies, of which we are surorhe will make good use. A- The Virgil class will to Thelma all their Virgil books. She loves them so! Robert O'Connor offers to give free nuke lessons for life to Dorotha Wescott. We wish her success! For dear old Sara we have broken our pocketbooks to buy a classy Hudson- super-six roadster of her own. fThere is plenty of room for one good sized person besides Saraj Matilda is so kind as to give her excellent ability to vamp to Ruth Bennett. For Kathryn Eddy there are six fountain pens and several crates of writing paper. We hope that she will use them to good advantage. To Ralph Wells we award a medal of plaster of paris for talking so much in French class. We give to dear little Arthur Cowdery a rattle box, with which he may play and annoy his college profs. To Gordon Barnum, Chapman gives all his excess importance. To Red we give a package of Diamond Dye. Color-green. It might make an improvement. There is a pretty pink hair ribbon for Tiny McCreery. To john McKernon we give all our French books.

THE RED and BLACK 30 notice the importantfilj Barnum, the dignified president, the bright GJ editors, our ridiculous bobbed-hair members, and the rest of the rabble, who all tend to make the Class of '21 live up to its reputation, namely, that of the vi orst graduating class of Cu. F. H. S. In any group of human beings there are always two extremes. The Class of '21 is no exception. The above mentioned individuals are one extreme. Certain members of the Virgil class Qmostly femalej represent the other extreme. They saunter about with a know it all expression and generally get by with it. They are always prepared in their studies, are studiously inclined in the study hall and are excellent specimens of what the faculty would like the school to be. But even they aren't so much. They have been excelled in their own line many times by previous classes. A very few of our students are in a class all by themselves. They are afflicted and are reported to be slowly passing away with the fatal disease of self-importance. They imagine the school would go to pieces if they were removed. Gee! it must be awful to be that way! I wish I could go into minute details on the vices of all the class. But space is rather limited for this very important work, and so I shall be able to give only a very brief glimpse of the habits and customs of the students of the Class of '2l. If only some heavenly body would force Bloomy to reach school on time fall earthly powers have failedjg if the deities would only endow Monty with a little common sense, if all the ancient Muses would only make Bob understand that he isn't clever: if someone or something would only show Red that he isn't handsome: if these few things could only happen, then the Class of '21 would be somewhat as a class should be. From a physical standpoint the Class of '2l is as bad as from other stand- points. They are either too tall or too short CMonty and Midj. Where, oh! where is the happy medium? I see the honorable editor is getting concerned over the amount of space I am using. so I shall bring my little degradation to a close by repeating that the Class of '2l is the worst that has ever been graduated from old C. F. I-I. S. Harold Lamberlson. CLASS GIFTS As the Class of 1921 severs its connection with this High School, it see ms fitting that each member either present a gift or be presented with one, to aid him in life's work. Clendon Bush, our Santy, clad in his best pajamas, has been selected to distribute the following gifts:

THE RED and BLACK 32 To Mary Wilson we give an electric curling iron. Now. what cares she if it does rain! For Margaret Ramsey we have purchased a tuning fork. Good luck, Maggie! To Margaret Crosby we give a pair of Sure-Ons. She will probably need them in a few years. N1 For Loyal Gibbs we think a dicer would be really becoming. He is such a dudel ' ' 'i For Adeline we hope some shock absorbers for a Ford car will be acceptable. We have, in the interest of astronomy, appropriated the funds necessary to buy a dirigible for Rose in which she may take a trip to Mars and parlez-vous with the natives, Cif there are anyj. To shy and blushing Gertrude Morrison we give the gown she wore in The Merchant of Venice. It was such an admirable fit and so very stunning. Willy relinquishes to Harriet Smith her stardom on the baseball diamond. Here's to the prospect of a second Ty Cobb. Rah! To gaintly Dickie we give a sweet-briar pipe and the necessary tobacco. She's a regular George Washington, but she might be induced to smoke. For cunnin' little Gen, we have purchased a silent wireless communicator to be installed on her desk at Cornell. lt is guaranteed not to get out of commission. Bpld and daring Edna Everts has procured a partner to toddle with Estelle fguaranteed to continuej. To Ruth Rockwell, an encyclopedia, to increase her already startling knowledge. To Bushy, Avery has most generously willed his bathing suit. It wouldn't shrink to fit him! Eslelle Dearslyne, Qorolhy Dickinson, Mary W iison. ass- KD Xu ,av . 4 4.
