THE SENIOR WILL OF NINETEEN THIRTY-FIVE We, the Senior Class of 1935 of the Technical High High School, admitted even by the Juniors to be the best class in the history of this school, do hereby declare this to be our last will and testament: Item I. , To the class of 1936, we bequeath the portals of knowledge which we found covered with dust and which by hard labor we have succeeded in rendering spotless. We sincerely hope that the class of 1936 will leave them in the same condition as they are bequeathed. Item 2. i . i . i l To the class of 1937 we do hereby leave all unjust debts which we may have contracted in our four years here.

J Departing from the plane they hopped a Cavan Trolley driven by Pauline Nowak and decided to make an overnight stay at the so-called Fern Gusie Hotel. After washing up with the capable assistance of the Hotel maid, Margaret Raskowsky, they decided to tour the sights of New York ' s Fifth Avenue. Going into the Little Theater Off Times Square they noticed at the corner, Albert Brown at the end of the Chain, grinding a hand organ. The curtain went up and to their amazement who should be the master of cere- monies but the one and only Francis Eaton. The first number on the program was Laura Doppler being featured as a toe dancer, her partner being Walter Last. They wore beautiful costumes designed by the former Tech Mannequin, Verda Mae Guse. At last the movie, the main feature of the evening. Dorothy Tatalovich played the revengous victor and Grace Jarrard her greatest competitor, who received the role of the heroine. Naturally Omer. Scholl took the role of the hero. The name of the picture was My Four Dark Years. It was beautifully directed by Edwin Wasserman. Manager Arnold Rosenau was greatly congratulated on his wonderful performance. After the theater was emptied, the janitor, Tom Clayton, was seen sweeping out the peanut shells that Stuart Boyer and Marguerite Daily had distributed all over the floor. After the show they went into the Golank-Blanchard Sweet Shop, and on the wall a large advertisement met their eyes. They gazed closely at it and noticed to their surprise that it was a picture of Marjorie Soloman, Anne Bindas, and Charlotte Sempka displaying the latest fashions in wearing with blond hair. (Naturally they were being paid by the Golden Glint Company. ) Well, they finally got tired of this night life and decided that home was the bost place after all. They took the Vanes Fast Central Train and arrived in Hammond about ten P. M. To their great amazement a large group of people was there to receive them. Anna Mae O ' Donnell gave them a beautiful wreath which read Welcome Home. (She was campaigning for votes in next year ' s election for the Woman ' s Gossip League. ) They were driven home by their family car, with the chauffeur, Paul Skok, and their doorman, George Eichilberger, to assist them. Lights! Music, Laughter! In their honor, Uncle Bob Duncan had a surprise party for them. Of all the people that were present! They could hardly remember or recognize all of them. They noticed tobacco stains on the floor, so they followed them up and found the great cigar and cigarette manufacturers, Dave Lyda and John Minsberg. And Mike Sikora, the architectural draftsman for the Chicago Tribune, conversing with Dorothy Zarndt. Silence! Announcer Eddie Camp: A bubble dance will be pre- sented by Dorothy Geeve, Irma Worley, Ruth Klemm, Georgia Aaron, and Frances Nester. After this most enjoyable entertainment they departed to the library for coffee and cakes. Julia Davis had the honor of pouring, and to her embarrassment she spilled it over Vivian Smith because of the peculiar giggle which Mary Sipkoski brought forth. The guests departed for home about I A. M. (due to the fact that work comes before pleasure the next day). Ruth Koehler and Donald Smith saw them to the door. My what a lovely party. It reminded them so much of the Senior parties they once had. 20
