Class Prophecy One warm, sunshiny day as I was driv- ing along in my new car, listening to the radio, I heard the announcement that Hazel Nagelschneider and Alma Zener would sing Take Me Back To My Boois and Saddle”, accompanied on the piano by Arlene Ray, a well known pianist, over Colonel Hovorka's Amateur Hour. I in- stantly recognized the names to be those of my old school mates of dear old H. H. S. I decided to go back to the old town of Hemingford to see some of my old class mates. As I drove into the city with my family I was stopped by a blue coated figure, for driving with too many in the car. Who's blonde head and frowning face should I spy as I heard the huge flat feet running up to the car, but my old friend and school mate, Martin Plahn. “Hey you”, he shouted, shouted he. Don’t you know that there is a law against over-loading on the highway?” As he stepped on the running- board he recognized me as one of his team mates of the Basketball Squad of '36. ! asked him about my friends of bygone days. He immediately offered me a police escort around the old town which has now become the Spud Center of the world. In 1936 a small village struggling against the evils of a depression, now in 1955 a thriv- ing metropolis of 450,000. As we drove down Broadway I saw a huge sign saying. Main Event of the Year. World Championship Bout between the world renowned fighter, Dick Moser, and the Eastern Cyclone of New York City.” I promised myself to look in upon him that evening. I asked who Dick s manager was and was informed that Lumir Peltz had been his manager for the past four years. I asked Martin about more of my school mates and he told me that Rosaline Hov- orka, Verna Byrd and Audrey Taylor had a clothing store with the latest Paris fa- shions on sale at all times, with many of their own designs displayed along with the Paris models. He also told me that Donald Minich was the Spud King of the U. S. and President of the National Po- tato Growers Association of America. We asked for a good hotel and were referred to the Grand Palace Hotel” man- aged by the Zeller sisters, Elizabeth and Henrietta. We registered at the desk and who should the clerk be but Arnold Brown. We shook hands and he called a bellboy to take our bags to our rooms. After cleaning up a bit we decided to eat a lunch before going further. After lunch we proceeded on our way to the theater The Shetler Reviews” star- ring Laverne Kiester, dare-devil stunt flyer, and the beautiful and renowned Ruth Hollinrake, in Happy Landings”. When the show was over we took a taxi to the Spudpicker University where we hoped to see the famous S. P. U.'s team in action. When we arrived and stepped out to pay the fare, who should be hold- ing out the bill but Vernon Mann, another of our classmates. Stepping out onto the field we saw the team in their famous formation coached by the All-American Half Back, Wilmer Plan- ansky. He greeted us with his famous saying, Hi Cookie”, and introduced us to the team. After talking a while we asked him whore we would find Gladstone Iver- son and he informed us that he could be found in the gym with his basketball squad. We went immediately to the gym and found him issuing orders to the first team Upon seeing us he dismissed the team and came over to us. We talked for a while and during this time we found out that Laddie Janky was teaching a course in American Government at the Univer- sity. We made a date with Gladstone and Wilmer to meet us that evening in front of the new City Auditorium where Dick was to fight his long-to-be- remembered battle. We had dinner that evening at a large restaurant owned and managed by Wi- nona Phillips. We complimented her upon her beautiful decorations and fine food and went to pay our check To our amazement the cashier was Bonnie Person. She told us that she would be at the fight that night especially to see Leon lanky who was to referee the well advertised bout. We then changed clothes and went to the fight. We got there just as the famous sports announcer Marvin Yardley was an- nouncing the preliminary of the fight. After the fight the ambulance siren could be heard rushing the Eastern Cyclone to the hospital where Dr. Miller received him with great joy. We were informed by Gladstone that Muriel Price was head dietician at the hospital owned and op- erated by Marjorie Miller. Marvin Yard- ley then announced that Harlan Meeker was about to take off at the Municipal Airport in his ship Olive Oyle”, for the first non-stop flight around the world. May success be his. Returning to the hotel from the airport we bid adieu to our old friend and com- panion, Martin Plahn, so that he could go back on duty, and retired for the night. In the morning we started on our return home with the memories of old friends and classmates still fresh in our minds.

Loren wu the only man on the squad play ing every minute of every game. He ha two more year in which to develop. COACH LEWIS CARTER This is Mr. Carter's second year as coach of the Spudpickers. Although we started t c season with three losses we finished by win- ning three consecutive games and tying one. DEANE BOTTORFF -Left End—3 Let- ter Man. Winner of Link Lyman’s Football Trophy. Deane was shifted from guard to end a d did a very creditable job on offense and de- fense. RUDY BURNEY -Left Tackle—3 Le. ter Man. Rudy was good on both defense and offense. He is a fine, clean thinker, has a fine atti- tude and is a hard worker in practice. GLADSTONE IVERSEN Fullback— 4 Letter Man—2 years all North Western Conference Center. Clady played his last and his best footb; II season for the Spudpickers. Clady had everything a coach could desire in a footbJI player. LAVERNE KIESTER Guard—1 Let- ter Man. Kicstcr is small but mighty. He played his first game against Crawford, but it was net until the Cordon game that he showed him- self to be of first team timber. HARRY LLITERAS Blocking Back— 2 Letter Man. Harry played good consistent football. His work was improved greatly over what it was in 1934. He is a good kicker and passer, and a consistent plaver. GEORGE LLITERAS Tailback—1 Letter Man. George improved greatly over his work at end in 1934, but his passing ability cane to the notice of the coaches and as a re- sult he was shifted to the tailback position. George has two more seasons of football to HARLAN MEEKER -Quarterback—3 Letter Man. Harlan, though followed by the injury jin throughout the season, had the grit and de- termination to stick it out to the end. In 1934 his collar bone was broken and he was unable to earn a letter. This year he played in every game, and with the excep- tion of the Crawford game, directed the offense in an excellent manner. BILLY MORANVILLE Center—2 Let- ter Man. Billy changed places with Martin at center position. He played consistent football throughout the season. Though he was han- dicapped by being light in weight, he made up for it by his accurate passing and his stick-to-it-ivcncss. MARK MYERS Guard—1 Letter Man. A hard worker, good on offense and de- fense. Mark was always in there fighting. LEONARD PELTZ Right End—1 Let- ter Man. Leonard, in his first year did a fine piece of work at right end, playing regular in every game beginning with the Cordon gaue. His best work was done in defense. LUMIR PELTZ Right Guard—1 Let- ter Man. Lumir was an aggressive player both on of- fense and defense. He was one of the out- standing guards of the Conference and will be missed next year. MARTIN PLAHN Center—1 Letter Man. An accurate passer is a great asset to a foot- ball team. Martin was an excellent passer and deserves a lot of credit for playing one of the most important and hardest positions on the team. He will be missed next year. WILMER PLANANSKY Tailback 3 Letter Man—Captain— All North Western Conference Half Back. Wilmer was the Spudpicker s tuple threat man. His passing was excellent, and his ball carrying and kicking ability were second to none. He leaves a vacancy which will be hard to fill in 1936. Because of his leader- ship qualities his teammates selected him hon- orary captain for the 1935 team. MARVIN YARDLEY Backfield 3 Letter Man Marvin proved what he could do when he took Iverscn's place at fullback in the Alli- ance game. He was always ready through- out the season, never complaining and missed but few practices.

CHAMBERLIN This is Mr. Chamberlin’s first year as coach. The season has veen a very successful one. With several of this year’s squad back next year Hcmingford can look forward to a high- ly successful season. IVERSEN. GLADSTONE Glady won his fourth letter this year at Guard position. One of the most consistent players, he drove hard and fast on offense and was exceptionally fast getting back on defense. Glady was without doubt one of the best guards in the Northwestern Ne- braska Conference. LLITERAS. GEORGE George, a Sophomore, earned his first letter at Forward position this year. George has a good eye for the basket. He is a good ball handler and has two more years to wear the Red and White. LLITERAS. HARRY Harry is a Junior who showed great prom- ise as a basketball player at the beginning of the season. He dropped out at mid- season and so did not earn a letter. MEEKER. HARLAN Harlan earned his second letter playing at Forward position. He has plenty i f fight and spirit, and was one of the team’s scrap- piest players, both defensively and offensive- ly. He was never flashy, but he was always dependable. MORANVILLE. BILLY Billy earned his first letter this year. He was a shifty and speedy forward and a clever ball handler. He has one more year to play for the Spudpickers. PLANANSKY. WILMER Wilmcr lettered for the fourth time this year at Center position. He led the team in scor- ing. He was fast, shifty, and a very clever ball handler. Wilmcr was probably the most outstanding player in Northwestern Ne- braska. PLAHN. MARTIN Martin earned his third letter this year. Be- sides being the backbone of the defense Mar- tin was a good ball handler and drove hard on offense. He was a very reliable guard. At the end of the season he was elected honorary captain. TOOHEY. LOREN Loren, another Sophomore, lettered for the first tune this year. He has plenty of fight and is a good man on both offense and defense.

The Choruses, under the direction of Miss Foy, have given two operettas. The first one “The Tea House of Sing Lo was given in November. Fea- tured in this operetta was a Fashion Revue that proved to be very interesting and col- orful. The J. C. Penney Company of Alliance furnished the clothes worn in the Revue. In March the Junior High Chorus gave Polished Pebbles. The most popular num- ber of the evening was the song “Old Black Joe, sung by Marvin Ronne with a chorus accompaniment. Various small group numbers and solos were given before the high school assem- blies and various clubs. In April the members of the girls glee club, the boys glee club, the mixed chorus, and several solos and small groups competed in the District Music Festival at Mitchell. The band, under the direction of Mr. Samek. made many appearances during the year. In September the entire band went to Lincoln to play at the State Fair. They proved to be quite popular in their red and white uniforms. During the fall and the winter months they played at most of the football and basketball games. The orchestra played for the Junior play and for the one-act plays. The band and orchestra, and also many instrumental soloists and small group numbers went to Mitchell to the District Contest. Arnold Kuhn received the high- est rating o! any member of his group with a rating of “excellent for his bari- tone solo. Although many of the members of both instrumental and vocal groups graduate this year, Hemingford should look forward to a very successful year in Music next year.

Junior Class Plai] The Qirl In The Fur Coat Senior Class Play Lauqh Cloum May 8th the Senior class presented the three act comedy mystery, Laugh Clown.” The play was concerned with the fortunes of the Hurley family who had recently acquired wealth. The son of the family, Arthur, had purchased the Razmananoff diamond for $40,000. He planned to give it to his financee. Dale Terrence, as an engagement gift. But when it was stolen, and Dale was found to be the ex-wife of Dr. Pratt, the fiance of Evelyn Hurley, then excitement was intense. When the Hurleys discovered that their two new employees, Fritz and Danny, were ex-convicts, and that Patricia, the youngest Hurley, had fallen in love with Danny, Mrs. Hurley nearly perished from the excitement. There were many side plots in the play. It held the interest of the entire audience from the first moment. One of the comedy high- lights in the play was the scene in which Uncle Jake, the negro man-of-all-work, took a corpse to the garage at midnight for Dr. Pratt. Aunt Sue, who woudln't marry Uncle Jake until he had saved five dollars and fifty cents, was also a very amusing character. The play was directed by Miss Young, the class sponsor. The cast was as follows: Mrs. Hurley . Elizabeth Zeller Patricia Hurley Hazel Nagelschneider Evelyn Hurley Muriel Price Arthur Hurley Victor Hovorka Fritz Benton ........ Harlan Meeker Danny Polling Wilmer Planansky Gallagher Starling Arlene Ray Dale Terrence Marjorie Miller Dr. Pratt . Marvin Yardley Mary ....................... Alma Zener Aunt Sue .............. Audrey Taylor Uncle Jake ............... Laddie Janky The Gardener Lumir Peltz The Detective ............ Vernon Mann Dramatics The Dramatics department has been par- ticularly active this year with the produc- tion of eight one-act plays and over forty readings. In September the Dramatic Eng- lish class presented two skits before the entire school. They were The Warrior's Husband and The Fatal Quest. In Oc- tober they presented Curses, What a Night with only the Seniors participating. That month also they presented three one- act plays, The Message of Khufu, Thank You Doctor, and Cabbages. In Decem- ber Allisons Lad, Dust of the Road, and A Bargain's a Bargain were given before an appreciative audience. In February approximately forty students started learning readings for the Declam- atory Contest. Many of these readings were presented to the Woman's Club, La- dies Aid Societies, Lions Club, P. T. A. meetings, and at some of the rural schools nearby. March 13 the local declamatory and one- act play contest was held. The two plays Bread and Last Flight Over were giv- en. Bread was the play selected by the judges to represent the school at Craw- ford. Winners in the declamatory contest were: Hazel Nagelschneider first, and Ar- lene Ray second in the Dramatic section; Wilmer Planansky first, and Marie Uhrig second in the Humorous section. Dean Bottorff was the only contestant in the Oratorical division. March 20 the members of the cast of the play Bread went to Crawford to com- pete in the one act play festival. Craw- ford received the only superior rating, with the play The Lord's Prayer.” Hemingford received a rating of average.” March 27 Hemingford held the District Six declamatory festival with Crawford, Alli- ance, Harrison and Hemingford competing. Minitare, who also entered, did not arrive for the contest. Deane Bottorff took the only first place accorded Hemingford, with the oration Ropes. Leonard Annen as the extemporaneous speaker received an equal rating with the student from Alli- ance who was given first. Hazel Nagel- schneider rated second in the dramatic section with the reading Dannie's Little Tin Soldier. The Crawford contestant re- ceived the superior rating in this section. In the humorous division Wilmer Planansky scored an excellent with the reading Jimmie Jones Studies Geography. Har- rison placed first in this division with The Country Store Keeper. The Mai] Fete The first May fete to be given in Hem- ingford was given May 1, 1935 in the audi- torium. The fete was to have been held on the lawn in front of the school build- ing but due to the bad weather it was necessary that it be held indoors. Gladys Koudelka was elected May Queen with Marcylene Moranville as maiJ of honor. The attendants were chosen from all the grades through the ninth. The grade and Junior High Choruses sang several songs of spring. All dancers were dressed in pastel shades. One of the outstanding danc numbers was the butter- fly dance. Miss Foy had general charge of the festival. This year a May Fete of the Nations was given. Marjorie Ustohal was chosen as queen and Eloise Cory as maid of honor. The costumes were those of the country represented. The dances included Ameri- can Indian, Cowboy and Cowgirl, Russian, Bohemian, German, Irish, the Minuet and the traditional May Pole dance. Miss Young had genera', charge of the fete. She was assisted l y all of the grade teachers. Class Ristoi] CHAPTER I Now the History of the class of six-and thirty of the High School of the City of Hemingford, County of Box Butte. State of Nebraska, is in this wise: In the beginning in the two and thirtieth year of our Lord, in the ninth month, and on the third day of the month, there en- tered into this Land of Learning, four-and forty seekers of knowledge. Some came up from the Eighth Grade, where they had for many months been busily engaged in storing their minds with the honey of wis- dom; some were green and fresh from a far country; some came from farms, where they had been tillers of the soil; and some were from other halls of instruction. And 2me to pass, as they did enter the land, that they were received with wild welcomings and rejoicings by those whom it was decreed should henceforth lead them up the slippery by-ways of knowledge Likewise, it came also to pass that they were received with malicious glee by a certain band of wild beings who were called Sophomores , and who because of their fierce taste for Freshmen blood, did pounce upon them daily and nightly, and did cause them to suffer great things, and to say in their hearts; Behold, blessed be the name of Educa- tion, for because of it have we endured great torments, both of the body and of the mind. Verily have we been martyrs to its great and noble cause! And as they dwelt long in the land, they fell in with the customs of the inhab- itants thereof, and their strangeness wore away, and they soon became as one among the rest. Now it came to pass, that they were one and all seized with a strange in- firmity, which did cause them to act with much fierceness and strangeness of man- ner, and to grapple and wrestle with their fellows in much rage and seeming fer- ocity. Wise men were called to look upon them, who did examine them with much care and pains, and did finally pronounce the infirmity football and basketball , and did assure the frightened leaders that the malady, while it needs must be con- tagious, and likewise sometimes fatal, was yet a necessary evil, and the wise men knew not the way to cure. So, with many anxious fears and dire forebodings did the instructors allow the disease to run its natural course, and lo, none was killed, and few were seriously injured, whereat, there was great rejoicing throughout the land. And it came to pass after some months that their eyes were turned toward grad- uation, but many, with one consent began to make excuse. The first said, 'T am poor in health. Therefore I cannot graduate. Another said, I must needs toil at home. Therefore I cannot graduate. A third said, I am dull and cannot learn. I pray have me excused.” And still another said, I am going to be married, and therefore I need not grad- uate. So thus did this class decrease in num- bers until the whole number at the end of the first year was one-and-thirty. CHAPTER II Now it came to pass at the beginning of the second year that a new band of youths did come up from the adjoining territory, and the class of Six-and-Thirty, in the new dignity of their promotion, and as the Sophomores of their day had done unto them even did they do unto these new Freshmen. And it came to pass that they chose their wisest ones to be their leaders, and called themselves with much pride The Class of Six-and-Thirty. and did purchase to hang on the walls of the Assembly a brilliant orange and black banner to pro- claim to all the world their wisdom and honor. And as the Class did journey through the land, behold, there were two maidens, who were fair to look upon, and one youth, sturdy and strong, who had strayed far from the companies with which they had set forth, and were much sorrowful. And as the members of the class did look upon them in their loneliness, their hearts were stirred with pity for them, and did open wide unto them that they should be gathered in. And the whole number at the end of the second year was four-and-thirty. CHAPTER III And it came to pass that in their third year was a great cry sent up from the throats of the greedy class: Lo. if it doth happen that we are to graduate after many days, it appeareth that there is much need of many dollars wherewith to provide the song and dance thereof)'' History [continued] And so thinking these things the Class sold many a ticket to the public that mon- ey might be brought into the treasury, and the cotters be tilled. And behold it did likewise come to pass at about this same time, that the Class did aspire to histrionic honors, and did present to the people a great and won- dertul play, wherein each should act what he was not and they did choose as a sac- rifice the great comedy Listen to Leon . And lo! the multitude did cry out of their hearts, Heaven forgive them, tor they know not what they do! And with their lips, How grand and wonderful this thing which ye have done! and the heads of the Class did become swelled to their full- est capacity at the praise they did receive for the deed they had done. Now when the six-and tenth day of the fifth month of the year of five-and-thirty was fully come this class did give a great feast, and did send messages over all the land, east, west, north, and south, to all inhabitants thereof saying, Come ye, and make merry with us; for the Class of Five- and-Thirty is to depart to a far country, and all things are now ready for a feast. And as they v ere bidden, so came they in large numbers to the place set apart and did eat of the good things thereof and rejoiced at the good fortune which had come to them. And the theme of the feast was of ye Pirates, and men of high standing did speak words of wisdom and of cheer and they were made merry by music and song. And lo, at this the third year of their journeying in the Land of Learning they did rejoice and make merry at a great feast in the rain at the beautiful Parx called by all men The Chadron State Park. And so ended their third year's journey. CHAPTER IV Now this, the fourth year, in the history of this great and wonderful Class of Six- and Thirty, has been one of much hard labor, and but little rest by the wayside; for preparations have been making for them to take their final departure from the land. Now it came to pass, as their pride grew to a great bigness within them, that the Class began to wish for badges befitting their stations; and so many messages were sent to the big cities and all the towns roundabout for samples of their fine jewelry; and at last, after much consider- ing and reconsidering, the Class professed itself to be satisfied with its choice, and rings were purchased with which they rested well content. It straightway came to pass that the members of the class began to write down the greatest and most wonderful thoughts since the beginning of the world, that the people who should come unto them to listen unto words of deep scholarship up- on the night of their Commencement should not be turned away in disappointment. Now there was in this Class a certain maiden, Beulah, daughter of R. C. Willard of the House of Willard. But behold! she did grow fearful till she resolved not to stay for the departure of the Class of Six- and-Thirty, but to leave the Land of Learn- ing and to take her way in the world with one companion, one William Roberts. And lo, the feet of two others grew heavier and heavier, and they lagged be- hind and would not move ahead unto the gates. So with many tears did the Class of Six-and-Thirty bid them farewell and sorrowfully passed on their way without them. So the whole number at the end of this fourth year is six-and-twenty. Four years hath the Class of Six-and- Thirty sojourned in the land, and gathered in large portions the fruits from the Tree of Knowledge. But it is written, In the day when ye shall have eaten of all these fruits, ye shall surely be driven forth from the land! Now I say unto you. they must depart thence, to go each a separate way, to lands they know not of, to do they know not what. But let us not be weary in well doing, for in due season we shall reap if we faint not. THE END Class IDill We, the class of 1936, in twenty-nine individual and distinct parts, being about to pass out of this sphere of education, in full possession of a crammed mind, well- trained memory, and almost superhuman understanding, do make and publish this, our last will and testament, hereby re- voking and making void all former wills or promises by us at any time heretofore made, or mayhap carelessly spoken, one to the other, as the thoughtless wish of an idle hour. And first we do direct that our funeral services shall be conducted by our friends and well-wishers, our superintendent and his all-wise, and ever-competent faculty, who have been our guardians for so long, only asking, as the last injunction of the dying, that the funeral be carried on with all the dignity and pomp that our worth, our merit, our attainments, and our posi- tion as Seniors of grave and reverend mien, must certainly have deserved. As to such estate as it has pleased the Fates and our own strong hands and brains to win for us, we do dispose of the same as follows: ITEM: We give and bequeath to the dear fac- ulty a sweet and unbroken succession of restful nights and peaceful dreams. No longer need they lie awake to worry over the uncertainty of whether this one will have her mathematics in the morning, or that one will do his home work. It has been a hard strain upon them, for Sen- iors are said to be at all times and under all conditions hard to manage. But they have done their duty well and uncom- plainingly, and now they shall have their well earned reward. ITEM: We give and bequeath to our beloved Superintendent. Vern H. Rauch, our sincere affection, our heartiest gratitude, and the whole unlimited wealth of our eternal memory. In an attempt at partial payment for all he has done for us in our four years journey at Hemingford high, we make over to him here and now, a mortgage on our future in the Great Unknown beyond. As interest on our deathless debt we make over to him every ounce of success, or honor that may come to us, knowing that it is due to his instructions. ITEM: We give and bequeath to our beloved faculty all the amazing knowledge and startling information that we have fur- nished them from time to time in our var- ious examination papers. We know that much we have imparted to them must have been entirely new to them, as well as to all teachers and students every- where, and would throw much new light on many a hitherto familiar line of thought, throughout the whole world of science and learning. If the faculty see fit, they are authorized to give out such of this infor- mation as they may feel that the world is ready to receive. ITEM: We give and bequeath to the leading paper of our city, the Hemingford Ledger, and to the talented editor thereof, all the events of our lives, past, present and fu- ture, with all the sensations, hairbreadth escapes, glorious attainments and other de- served or undeserved notoriety and fame with which we may have been, or may hereafter be associated, trusting that they may furnish plenty of material for news items and brilliant editorials for ages yet to come, and serve as an inspiration for those younger students who so naturally look to us for inspiration. ITEM: We give and bequeath to the Junior Class, as a student body, all of our knowl- edge of economics, philosophy, art, science and the universe in whole or in part. We trust the class may be able to survive it. ITEM: The following may seem but trifling be- quests, but we hope that they may be ac- cepted as valuable assets to those who may receive them, and serve as a con- tinual reminder of the generosity of heart displayed in our free and full bestowal: 1st. To the basketball team of next year, the ability of Harlan, Wilmer, and Martin. We couldn't induce Glady to sur- render his. 2nd. To all future Class Presidents, Marjorie s ability to convince the Superin- tendent of the said President’s unerring judgment. 3rd. To the Sophomore Class we will our ability to say the right thing at the wrong time. 4th. To the Freshmen we will nothing. That is what we started with, and look at us now. 5th. To the Freshman class that is to be —any over looked cuds of gum we may have left adhering to the underside of desks, assembly seats, or any other likely or unlikely places. We have sometimes had to rid ourselves of these in too much haste to be able to pick and choose the most desirable means of disposal. 6th. To Mr. Carter we will our admir- Class IDill [continued] ation of his coaching and teaching abil- ity. 7th. To Mr. Chamberlin, a free medical course in throat inspection. 8th To Miss Young we will many more intelligent Seniors in her future Dramatics classes. 9th. To Miss Hoover all our paint brush- es for her future art classes. 10th. To Miss Snowden, another intel- ligent bookkeeping class, and an accurate and speedy typing class. 11th. To Mr. Rauch, all our admit to class slips (Save some for the next Sen- iors.) 12th. To Vincent Foley, Arnold's love for school. 13th. To Davona Schneider, Verna Byrd wills the blonde photographer. (There's a story back of this.) 14th To Lee Ogilvie, Gladstone Iver- sen's football and basketball sweaters. May he fill them as capably as did Glad- stone. 15th. To Merle Hansen, Ruth Hollin- rake's attention in class, but not her laugh, she feels that she still needs that. 16th. To Loreen Tatge, Rosaline Hov- orka wills her sunny disposition, but not her gum. Rosy could not be induced to part with that. 17th. To Zelden Shetler, Victor (Hitler) Hovorka wills his nickname. Long may he reign. 18th. To Harry Lliteras, Laddie Janky's swift walking, with our sincere wish that this will enable him to get to school on time. 19th. To George Lliteras, Leon Janky's teaching ability. 20th. To Glendon Taylor, Laverne Kies- ter's height. May it enable him to play the clarinet! 21st. To Guy Johnson, Vernon Mann's affection for girls. 22nd. To Billy Moranville, Harlan Meek- er's whiskers (Better get a caustic pencil Billy.) 23rd. To Marjorie Ustohal, Marjorie Mil- ler's ability to devote her affection to one boy (at a time). 24th To Marjorie Roland, Donald Min- ich's ability to get grades by bluffing. 25th. To Leonard Annen, Richard Mos- er's ability as a boxer. May he make use of it as has Richard. 26th. To Helen Bedlivy, Hazel Nagel- schneider's laugh. 27th. To Robert Ray, Lumir Peltz's foot- ball ability. 28th. To Ruth Stauffacher, Bonnie Per- son's ability to flirt. 29th. To Margot Miller. Winona Phillips' love notes. 30th. To Ralph Hennings, Mgrtin Plqhn's quietness in typing laboratory. 31st. To Sleepy Johnson, Wilmer Plan- ansky's gory football pants and skinned nose. 32nd. To Evalyn Osborn, Muriel Prices' ability to speak with her eyes. 33rd To Vivian Mann, Arlene Ray's ability as a pianist. Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast. 34th. To Theron Yardley, Loran Shetler's sentimental expressions, and may they be of more value to Theron than they were to Loran. 35th. To Sophie Jurgens, Audrey Tay- lor's short, fat appearance. 36th. To Regina Planansky, Beulah Wil- lard's ability as a stenographer (You can not cook on a typewriter.) 37th. To Marcylene Moranville, Marvin Yardley's red hair. 38th To anyone who can get away with it, Elizabeth Zeller's gift of gab. 39th. To Mildred Ruth Green, Henrietta Zeller's boisterousness. 40th. To Arlene Lyman, Alma Zener's book of hints, stating It is better to en- tertain him in the house in the winter time than to sit out in the car till it begins to shiver. ITEM: The subjoined list will be recognized as entailed estates, to which we do declare the Class of 1937 the real and rightful successors: 1st. Our seats in class room and as- sembly. Our seats in the Senior Assem- bly may be taken by who so is able to grab them first. 2nd. Our Senior Dignity. May they up- hold it in spite of their natural lightmind- edness and lack of responsibility. 3rd. Any pencils, erasers, scraps of paper, that we may leave behind us in the excitement of our departure. Last comes the one thing that is hard for us to part with To our successors we must leave our places in the hearts and thoughts of our teachers. They will love them, unworthy as we feel our successors to be. We trust that the class of 1937 will appreciate all that their instructors will do for them as deeply as we have done. Besides these enforced gifts, we leave of our own free will our blessing, our tender memories of our long association, and our forgiveness for anything that we may not have appreciated in the demonstrations of the past. We do hereby constitute and appoint our sponsor sole executor of this our last will and testament. In witness whereof, We, the Class of 1 936, the testators, have to this our will, set our hands and seal this twenty-first day of May, Anno Domini, one thousand nine hundred and thirty-six.

Billy M.: I guess so. A load of hay just went through. Indignant Parent (at 7 A. M ): Young man, what do you mean by bringing my daughter in at this hour? Harry L.: Well, you see I have to be at work at 8 o'clock.” Madam, said the policeman kindly, to an old lady who persisted in crossing the street anywhere but at the corner, You are jay walking again. Miss Snowden: No such thing, she snapped, its rheumatism! A homely M. D.: Ah! I've caught you under the mistletoe at last, and now I'm going----- Doris W.: No. you're not. Doc. There's only one thing you'll be able to kiss me under. Homely M D.: Yes. what's that? Doris W.: An anesthetic! Is she as sour as she looks? Sour? Why if that woman gazed aloft on a starry night, she'd curdle the milky way. I have known you so long, doctor, said Mr. Carter at the end of his visit. I do not intend to insult you by asking for your bill, but 1 have arranged a handsome leg- acy for you in my will. That's very kind,” the doctor replied. Now. please permit me to look at that prescription again. There is a slight change I would like to make in it. A man driving a truck containing fer- tilizer, was passing the insane asylum.
