7heRctro . l Last lDil! and Testament ELLOW Students, as you read this Last Will and Testament, you will at once realize that we, the members of the Class of ,25, have left to you as a group and also individually the great dignity and success of our most illustrious class. J Ashley Emshwiller, Jr., leaves a very generous gift to the Junior class. A box containing twenty-four faces, only a few of which have been willed directly to certain students. Hi face of earnestness he leaves to his Chemistry friend, John DeWees,, his face of gladness to Frances Jenkins, his face of agony to any one ,risking to wear it. JUST TRY TO WEAR IT! Ash is also leaving a ncertain Sophomore friend with much regret. I Robert Hendricks leaves the proceeds froin the advertising of Mail Pouch and Honest Scrap to the school. Bela, a hip-pocket makes a good billboard. , Ralph Cheesman leaves his silent but gneat admiration for a cer- tain Senior girl-yes, a blonde and an essay prize winner, to Frank Forkner. Frank says his blonde is not an e'ssay winner, but he's not saying that she is not a prize winner just the: same. Mary Dee leaves her place at the candy' stand to whomever is as good a drawing card as Mary next year, she also leaves everything else for she yet has with her a Graduating Happiness. Carrie Sparks leaves her quiet ways arid perfect classroom con- duct to Mary James. Can't you hear that quiet and smothered chuckle of Carrie and Mary, right now. I Gertrude Hahn leaves her ever-ready Vergil lessons to the future Vergil students. Sorry, Juniors, but you can't share this gift. Reuben and Lucile have consented to le ve an outlined route that is taken by them each day, to-why, who els could we leave it to than Delight and Bob? There is no danger butt what Bob will keep the trail warm. I Cleola Lord leaves her position as a typist to Arabelle Craft, also her musical ability to Margaret Glessner. Ndw, Margaret, do your duty. All you need is a fiddle, for you have seveifal beaus. Margaret keeps wonderful band time, because of her new Military beau. One of the old home town friends thought we said MilitaryfJoe! Yes! No! Military beau! I Audrey Lucas in making her will has greatly benefited the high school as a whole, for she has kindly left hfer fine school conduct and work to Francis Crissman and Howard Parkinson. We are quite sure that now their deportment average for exemption can easily be raised to a hundred! 4 ,

f 'ws 5'Ef.l.V! was-0 ment had decreased to seventy-three members. Kenneth Parker and Maurice Hildebrand were new members this year. Phil Holton was again re-elected presidentg Reuben Willman, vice-president, Mildred Cheney, secretary, Canis Brockway, treasurer. Miss Kruke was our advisor for the year, and did much for the success of our class. This year we had more serious affairs to meet and felt our responsibilities. On December 19, we gave our class play, 'Clarence,' which proved to be a charming comedy, staged by a talented cast. Our calencfar for this year showed few social activities, for weightier affairs were on our minds. All year we planned for the Junior-Senior Reception, which was held May 16. This was the outstanding event of our high school activities and we'll never forget it. On September 2 we started our last year in H. C. H. S. The officers of the preceding year were re-elected, and capably served their class. VVe found ourselves busy this year with the management of the Insight and Retro. Our first social of the year was the pot-luck supper held at the high school. At the beginning of the second semester, we held a series of markets for the purpose of raising money for the Retro. The week of February 16-20 was observed as Retro Week, and we Seniors made a Retro campaign. X Yes, and don't you remember the class play, 'Three Wise Fools,' which was such a big success. Indeed, we were proud of our girls' and boys' teams which won the inter-class tourneys this year, making a double victory. S We were very busy toward the end of the term, preparing for Class Day and Commencement, which none of us shall ever forget. We shall always remember our days in old Hartford High as the best and happiest days of our lives.

Evelyn Patterson has generously given to her beloved English teacher fifty pounds, in two installments, 'twenty-five pounds this year, with the interest from the other twenty-five pounds every third year. Love and kisses from little Evelyn. Ray Cronin leaves his success as a Child Welfare Workeri' to whomever in the Junior class is able to hold such a position. Mr. Cronin has also left a fund of seventy-five dollars which may be spent to pur- chase kiddy-cars or skooters for any below the eighth grade. And last, but far from least, the instructions for teaching the children the Pitts- burgh Clogg and the Pineapple Dipf Harley Knott leaves his sheikish- ways and the warm places for him in the hearts of the faculty to ? ? ? ? Rather a small will for one who was just made a grass widower a half year or so ago. Bill Duff leaves his brightness but yet just passing grades to friend Parkyf' Ruth Cronin leaves her sixth hour assembly chats with Milly Cheney to Betty Sellers and Milly Campbell if they can get away with them as Ruth and Milly have, without bothering their deportment grades. She also leaves her Hennas and loud hose to Jessie Sprague. Lucile Elzey with much sorrow bestows her indirect craze for pas- tries ufpon the girl who is sure she can appreciate this craze as Lucile has. Yea! Fifteen rahs for Br---ead! Edna Snell bequeaths her widely known music periods ffrom rising time in the A. M. to 8:25, then from 12:01 noon to 1:27l to Charlotte Hill. It is not known as yet what she will do with her bookkeeping course. Morris Hildebrand has left the next year's yell leaders his real yell- ing volume. He is also leaving Peggy and a few others, but not with the most joyful heart. S Garnet Maddox leaves her Uplucky way, which came in handy at the end of the second six weeks of this semester to Betty Sellers. It is said we will lose Garnet because she is going right to heaven, or she says it is better known as Kokomo. The Senior girls have a number of compacts which have the pow- der all used but not the rouge. Some advised leaving them to a few of our pale students, some one even suggested Margaret Glessner or Lewis Henley. . X Canis and Paul, whom we nearly always found in the hall, leave to John Tharp and Glen Powell their success with the 1925 Retro. Juniors, you should put out an unusual annual next year with all this help. Martha Moore bestows her friendly spirit and her friend, the Dummy, to next year's Insight staff. If you can pull in the ads as Martha has, you will be sitting 'prettyf' Farmer Reasoner leaves his -abilityas a basket maker to John Tharp-talk about people doing little things! Farmer is not willing his wonderful trained mustache to any one. Several boys were greatly
