Hill 0 the students of Granite High, inhabitants of Granite City, residents of Illinois, and citizens of the United States of America: We, the Class of ’15 of Granite High, being of sound mind, on this, the — th day of .May. in the Year of Our Lord Nineteen Hundred and Fifteen, do hereby present our last will to dispose of all property left by us after our departure from this happy life. Our bequests are as follows: To Prof. Parrish we pay an apology for the carelessness of Lee Borden Aker and Louise Boyer in flunking” in Com- mercial Law. Frank Bethel’s popularity with the corps of science teachers, we bequeath to Jennings Reynolds, so he can misbehave in class without being scolded. To Harry Weisman. Jr., we grant the use of Albert Busch ' s political influence; and may Harry become the first presi- dent of the United States from his party, thru this pull.” Bryan Compton’s taking” ways we will to Fred Butler. Compton got away from Decatur Hotel with nearly all the furniture. Do as well next year. Butler. The basket-ball ability of Gladys Duffey. we give to Priscilla Davis, the Juniors’ star. To Martha Evans, we bequeath Mae Eiler’s reputation as the most well-behaved girl in German VI class. Samuel Fleishman’s tournament numbers, we will to Mr. Graham. We ask that he frame and hang them in the furnace room to remember Samuel. So that Elmer Branding will know that a fiat is not a note on which someone has stepped, to him is given Luella Gisler’s knowledge of music. For the benefit of Lorenzo Hughes’ pompadour, we give him a large size bottle of Trevor Lewis’ “Guaranteed to Stick” hair oil. To Arthur Maserang is bequeathed William Lewis’ faculty for learning his lessons, so that Arthur can pass three sub- jects and play basket ball next year. To Mildred Ryrie we bequeath Ruth McReynold’s “make-up” outfit, so Mildred won’t have to buy one when she goes into vaudeville. Upon Arthur Buente we bestow the cognomen “Chippy.” now held by Earl Miller. Mildred Morefield’s experience as leading lady in the “Windmills of Holland” we bequeath to Mary Myers, so Mary won’t have stage-fright in her leading role next semester. To George Wilderman. the Freshman “Diving Venus.” we will Ceridwen Morgan’s water-wings. Our idea is to keep George above water so he won’t be mistaken for a submarine. To Max Bramer. the stamp connoisseur of High School, we devise Ethel Morgan’s valuable stamp collection, consisting of a cancelled postage stamp, a Red-Cross Christmas stamp and three Eagle Trading Stamps. Emil Mueller’s keys and key-ring are given to Harold Todd for him to rattle when he’s “broke.” To Helen Ward we bequeath Mildred Partridge’s smile. May Helen shed brightness wherever she goes. EARI. MILLiER: — “Whose little body lodged a mighty mind.

Russell Wilson’s method of bluffing thru Solid Geometry we bequeath to Edgar Lewis, the 16-year-old mathematical wonder.” so Ed. won’t over-work his gray matter. To Willie Krautheim. athlete, we give one of Miss Cooley’s mince pies for a discuss and a window stick for a vaulting pole. The doughnuts made by the girls of ’15 we w ill to Prof Frohardt. lie can do as he wishes with them, but we advise that they be used as paper weights. To Emma Goldman, Gershoin Thompson and Santa Chaus, as worthy trustees, we set aside a sum of $ .09. to hire a nurse for the next semester’s Freshmen. To Fred Pittman we will Joe Williams’ repertoire of popular songs and dances and hope Fred will entertain the stu- dents at various times next semester with his rich bass voice.
