Mary Sunnncrville played a group of very pretty pieces. Florence Lighthart gave a vocal solo, accompanied by ,May Silver. An instrumental selection, t'The Flower Song by Lange, was given by Elizabeth Wetherbce, Warren Fox and Harold Hotaling. Mr. VVilliam George, founder of the Geo1'ge Junior Republic, who was recently in the city, spoke to us about his work. For Memorial Day observance Dr. Parker of the Freernont Metho- dist Church, gave us a talk on Carry Un. The Rose Maiden, a cantata by Cowen, was rendered by the High School choir Friday evening, June Sid, under the direction of the Misses Devendorf and Tyrrell. The solo work was done by Miss Ruth Bassler, soprano, Miss Devendorf, contralto, Mr. Ralph Steele, tenor, and Mr. Arthur Yauncy, bass. The accompan- ists were Mrs. Walter Williams and Miss Helen Lasher. Saenior Notes lf you haven't already walked i11to 64 and seen our new banner which hangs on the side wall, you had better do it, because you'vc missed something. A few weeks ago the Seniors held a picnic on the banks of the Sacandaga, beyond the Northville bridge. The boys furnished tl1e cars and everyone went. The Water was so inviting that one of our members rather enjoyed his walk in midstream after a wayward baseball. The Senior play was a great success, even financially. The boys and girls had a contest to see which could sell the most tickets. The girls lost and gave the boys a banquet which they appeared to enjoy. Mr. llibble was toast- master and several members of the class re- sponded to toasts. After supper, which was served in the old gym., dancing was enjoyed on the first floor. Juniors, your party in the gym. was very en- joyable. We were so glad to hear from you at last. The Senior class is very glad to make the an- nouncement that thru the kindncs and generosi- ty of the the board of governors of the Ec- centric club, the Senior assembly is to be held in the ball-room of the club house. The follow- ing letter, which was received from the secre- tary of the Eccentric club, speaks for itself, and we wish to extend to the club our hearty thanks. The letter: At a meeting of the board of governors of the Eccentric club, the desire was expressed that the club have an opportunity to take some part in the commencement week exercises of the Gloversville High School, this year. The desire was prompted by a deep sense of the great im- portance of the event in the life of our city, not only from an educational, but as well, a social and commercial standpoint. Standing as you do upon the threshold of a new life, about to part from tl1e old school associations into new relationships, the Eccen- tric club desires to extend to you the hand of good fellowship and wish you Godspeed. It is my great pleasure, therefore, at the di- rection of the board of governors, to extend to the graduating class of the Gloversville High School, the use of, and freedom of, the ball- room in the club house, for their assembly on the evening of June IZ2d, 1921. , The Seniors are all sorry that they are leav- ing this last year, so full of fun, behind them.

J UNE, 1921 25 1 be ill nf the lass M1921 HEHEAS, we, the Class of 1921 of the High Sc11ool of Glovers- ville, Town of Jolmstown, Coun- ty of Fulton, State of New York, being of sound mind and full of understanding, do make our first and last will and testament in IIIRHIICI' and form following: To Mr. llibble and the rest of the faculty, we bequeath our sincere thanks for what they have done for us in the past, and wish them success in the future. After much forethot and with a great deal of reluctance, we give the Juniors the right of leadership for next year. We did not decide to do this till after we knew that four members of our class had decided to stay over and help out ,22. To these four members we bequeath enough Pep-tonic to dig the class out of its grave and keep it awake. We express our sym- pathy for these four before-mentioned members. To the boys of the Junior class, we leave a book of etiquette. 1Ve hope that they will study it so that the next time they have a frankfurt roast, they will let the girls go l1o1ne first or else accompany the111 home. As the Sophomores deserve the right to be- come live Juniors, not like tl1e present Junior class, we bestow upon tll0ll1 a little TNT, 'to be used in case they begin' to show signs of becom- ing like '22, The class wills to Johnny VVood a play en- titled, The Dancing Shoes- g to Packie Gol- lins, the Senior girls, mirror, a comb, and a brush, to Benjamin Starr, a new pinochle deck for games held in room 63, to Don Bassler, a pillow so he will be able to nap peacefully in classes. Owing to the fact that Bob Scribner is late every morning, we present l1im with a milking machine so he will get here on time occasimzally. To Leslie Houck we give a bathing suit to use when chasing baseballs in the Sacandagag to the school, a half holiday the next time tl1e circus comes to town. We grant permission to Lydon Maider to take the chaperons in his car to all the Senior parties next year. Because of the trouble the Athletic Associa- tion has in getting money, we present them with a booth from which they may sell chewing gum and lollypops. VVe leave a horn to Glenn Bass and Marion MacDonald, so that on the next sleighride they will be able to let the driver know that they are tl1e rear guard. A carpenterhas been engaged to put a bench at the south end of the l1all on the second fioor for the benefit of Elizabeth Corey and Howard Farthing. Because of his freslmess, we present Bobby Butler with a pound of salt. Altho Marvin Morenus already has some ability for disturbing classes, Bob has consent- ed to teach him the famous Dart giggle. To Babe Lasher we leave a few inches so she and Van will not resemble Mutt and Jeff. To George Lenz we present a manual on How to Keep Still by the Abolishment of My Cut-out, and 'fHow to Learn What is Going Un in the Senior Boom Without Actually Be- ing Presentf' I We remember Mr. Vickery with a wireless, by means of which he may receive messages from students, saying that they are coming. We bestow upon Victor Panek, a ball-room. He is to furnish his own hot air. To Dr. Lenz, we bequeath tl1e right of attend- iI1g any sick members of the faculty so that he may help George out. We give Bob Dart Marion's Phi Delta pin on condition that he will return it to her within a week. The class, by unanimous consent, appoints M r. Dibble to referee the next foot race, to be held in the High School Gym., between Bob Dart and Chuck Miller. ' Vile present to Miss Wood the slips contain- i11g the names of those who were to stay for seventh period on May 20th and June Gth. They mysteriously disappeared. Inasmuch as the door between room 77 and the chemistry labratory is of no further use, we give tl1e janitor the privilege of removing it and using it for firewood. Lastly, we hope we leave the entire school a good, lasting, last impression of the Class of '21. ln witness whereof, we, the Class of 15121, the testators, have to this, our Last Will and Tes- tament, set our hand and our seal this twenty- first day of June, 1921, A.
