? ing that before they attempt to whip Eugene Scott they will let him know, so that he might be careful and not use a fly swatter or insect powder on them. Anna Wentz scored in the Olympics for the United States by winning the one-mile run. In a statement made to Lena Racer, a newspaper re- porter, Miss Wentz said that she acquired her ability by running down High Street at 8:29 a.m. We also visited a certain well known Countess. once Edith Hendricks. While at her castle, we encountered the charming poet, Chester Russell, and the popular Prima Donna, Helen Barnes. Our return was completed without further incident, but we arrived at New York just in time to see Blaine Waite capture the world's light- weight championship at Madison Square Garden. ' RUTH ANDREWS. JULIA WORLEY. SEN IOR CLASS POEM It's over, there's no doubt about it, Our high school days are pastg And happiness blended with sorrow, It's a time that has gone too fast. We'1l often look back and we'll wonder At the days we spent in school: And we'll think of our dear advisors Who taught us the Golden Rule. All corners of the world will catch usg No two will stay the same, But our minds will always wander To the school where we won our fame. It's a four-year course of studying, From which you gain the most: Your teachers are willing to help you, And to keep you at your post. We've laughed when we knew we were guilty, And we've had to pay the cost, But our lives will be made much happier, We've made up the time that we lost. There are some who have taken advantage Of the time they spent in class, And others will often wonder Why they weren't able to pass. So to close our high school history, We leave you with one little thoughtg Just try to iight the great battle That the class of '32 has fought. -By Chester Russell.

Out leaped a highly excited woman, and our hopes were revived when we recognized Bertha Mary Elizabeth Dee, the emperor's daughter-in-law. She ordered the soldiers back to their barracks. and it was through her efforts that we finally escaped. Severely in need of a rest, we took the airplane to Germany where we visited in Berlin, the huge sauer kraut factory, owned and managed by Jess Snyder, with William and Fred Sutton as his assistants. At this point urgent business called us home, but on the way we stopped in England where we visited Mr. Schuhmacher. He told us these facts concerning the careers of some of our former classmates: Frank Anderson and Margaret Brown are married and lived content- edly on their little forty-acre farm. Elizabeth Everett and Edna Elwood have organized a soda fountain deluxe in which. for the price of one nickle, sodas are automatically made by these two robots. Ray Baugher has at last met Dame Fortune. He is playing opposite the blues-crooning sheba, Mary Fees, in their latest musical play, The Lover.

Bill Pettit has accepted a position as instructor of basket ball among the Eskimos of Woof Woof, North Pole. Mary Ellen Gilbert and Dorothy Landon are matrons at Indiana Girls' School. They claim that if such people are ruled with an iron hand, they will never bite the hand that feeds them. Vivian Granger has just received a patent on concentrated night work. One takes pills, and presto chango he knows all his needed lessons. Byron Robbins and John Rutledge have signed a joint contract, agree-

Last Will and Testament y E, the over-confident and self-conscious class of nineteen hundred J i thirty-two, who have made an everlasting imprint in the panels of school history and in so doing claim to be subjected to full minds and empty pocketbooks and stomachs, do hereby set forth with our remaining faculties a manuscript for distribution and denun- ciation of our glorious and far-fetched intelligence.
