TENTH: To Edith Dahlberg, the careful motorist, we do will one over- sized, galvanized, unpainted Interurban Omnibus, equipping her with accomodation for a few more teachers and all the boys on the home run at noon.

We leave her this knowing that she will need some form of recreation after such a strenuous half year with the history classes. TWELFTH: To Miss Lindsay, we do will one pair of stilts with which she will not waste so much time going to the several schools where she is physical instructor. THIRTEENTH: To Etta McIntyre, we do will a husband and Mazella’s ability to vamp, providing she promise to come back next year and use it on the Freshmen only. FOURTEENTH: To Miss Cowan, we do will the latest I heorum: One square smile plus one chuckle cubed, times the triangle have a heart equals the attitude of the isosceles teacher plus one giggling Solid Ivory Geometry Class. FIFTEENTH: To Miss Horning, we do will and devise one patent tasting machine which we know will be greatly appreciated by her. because it will keep her from spoiling her appetite by tasting so many unappetizing messes made by her cooking classes. SIXTEENTH: To the Juniors, our successors, we will our unequaled CLASS SPIRIT and the CLOAK OF D1GN11 Y that goes with it so that with our passing, they may step into our places and command homage and reverence from their lower classmen. SEVENTEENTH: To the Sophmores, we leave our originality and our power of establishing precedents, and the remaining dignity, if there is any left after the Juniors receive their due portion. EIGHTEENTH: To the Freshmen, we do bequeath, one book of Robert s Rules of Order . In doing this we ardently hope they will be able to hold more dignified meetings without being completely overruled by their Class Advisor. And furthermore to the Freshman Class we do bequeath the care and guardianship of Anderson-Hough, Ford-Everton, Doerner-Muir, Keyte-Gebers, Kerley-Barr, Tryer-Clemens, Sauer-Stidham, Flint-Green.

Randle-Williams. and Gillette-Hollowell, Laura Thomas Gunnell who now stand in one straight row at the foot of the campus. See that their beds are kept well stirred, their feet bathed regularly, their top-knots trimmed when necessary and the moss scratched off their backs. This they must do all during their future High School days, and when they are Seniors they may impose a like task upon the Freshman Class. NINTEENTH: To the incoming Freshmen, we do will our beloved Class Colors, Black and Gold, also the available standing room which we know they will need and we hope they will occupy, and in that way learn to stand up for the High School. 24
