Lloyd Homer leaves his drag with Mr. Riley to George Bush. Consider yourself lucky, George. Frieda Keiser leaves her voice and golden curls to Anna Brown.

Dean Kaley presents the full rights to be a side-show manager to Douglas Bulger because Douglas has qualified for this. Morris Lee leaves his chemistry apron to anyone that can wear it. If no one can, he gives it to the school at large guaranteeing that it will be placed in the trophy case. Beatrice Leeson leaves her spinstership to the underclassmen.

Margaret McGuire leaves all the hard work that she has done in school and never been thanked for to any one who appreciates what she has done and who is crazy enough to continue it. Dorothy McLean leaves her secret of success and her winning ways to the whole school at large. We are sure that there is no one who does not need a drag. Eleanor Manning leaves her mathematical ability to Archie Murray. Glenn Miller leaves his ability to say things and get away with it to Freddy Grinnell. It is a great opportunity.

Marion Overacker leaves the trials of leading the basketball team to anyone that accepts the task. Marion Randall leaves her good influence on the school.

Lyal Bennett bequeaths a schedule of the days that school keeps to Charley Gale so that he will know when to come. Ruth Billings leaves a box of ambition powder, which is guaranteed to wake the deadest person in the world, to Darcy Goodnough. We understand that Doris Bowhall soon will leave the title of Miss.

We suggest that these be handed down from year to year. George Gingras leaves his pull with Miss Williams to Charles VanDuzee. Don't abuse this by pulling too hard. Marcus Graves leaves his ability as life entertainer to the kindergarten. Through four years Mark has entertained us to the best of his ability and, if anyone can break this record, he may acclaim himself champion. Dorothy Harvey leaves her pair of blinders for eyes to Clara Hockey. The reason that these blinders were given to Stub was because those eyes attracted so much attention. Robert Henderson leaves his own book on How to Hold the Fickle Women to Robert Hampton.

Senior Prophecy By Paul Smith. Gouverneur, New York, June 30, 1933. Dear Clarence, Well, here I am back in Gouverneur after six years of schooling and exper- ience. Many of the old classmates of ’27 are in town to spend their vacations. I have heard directly from many and indirectly from the rest. What a change has come about in the old crowd! I returned last Sunday. The first person I saw was Robert Dygert. He is now night policeman. Don’t you think he would make a good one ? He told me that Glenn Miller and Kenneth Smith, his brothers in athletics, are now in Wa- tertown managing Devendorf’s garage. Ruby June and Doris Bowhall are both married to Clinton County farmers. Lawrence Babcock is now general manager of all athletics in Hobart College. Lewis Love took an Independence Corre- spondence Course and is now Joke Editor of College Humor. Lewis has made great success in the commercial world. Dorothy Harvey is married and is liv- ing in Gouverneur. She has joined the staff of the Northern Tribune by writ- ing advice to love-sick children. Robert Carpenter is an advertising agent rep- resenting “The candy mint with the hole”. Marcus Graves is following in his fathers’ footsteps with the slogan When better cars are built”. Marjorie Street- er completed her course in Boston and is now director of music in the Parish- ville High School. Louise Webster has gone to the farm as Mrs. Johnson. Margaret McGuire and Marian Chisholm, who are prominent social service workers in New York, are traveling in Europe and the surrounding islands show- ing the need of bigger and better clubs. Harriet Brown and Bertha Eckmann are conducting a nationally known girls’ school on Black Lake. Bob told me of his trip to New York, where he saw Marguerite Geisendoerfer and Marion Corbin, who are dancing in the Follies. Last year they made a tour of this country and the South Sea Islands.
