Will of Class of 1922 We, the Senior Class of 1922, do hereby bequeath our portion of H. H. S. to the coming Seniors of 1923. First of all, we wish to turn over our portion of the joys Cas your school days are the happy onesl that were ours during our stay in the High School, and especially in the Senior year. We also wish to give you the underlying secret that will bring to light the process of how to get these joys. This the formula: Do as you please and don't let your school work interfere with your education. Second, we wish to leave you our dear teachers that have always co-operated with us when we had the same ideas that they did. This part given over on one condition, that is that you do not cause them any trouble, or extra bookkeeping. We wish to leave our hand-carved Morris chairs, and roller top desks. These will be found on the south side of the study hall. We ask that you do not ruin the upholstery, and that you make things com- fortable when an entertainment is given in the auditorium. We also ask that the many conveniences found on these seats will be made to last and be useful forever. Fourth, We will you our right to talk, throw chalk, shoot paper wads, etc. We will also give you our right to stay in, the only difference being that you may demand double time. Fifth, we leave you our privilege to stay out of school, have dress- up day. CYou automatically assume the consequence of such rightsl. Sixth, we ask that you take our draperies and scenery on the stage. Seventh, we leave you our seats in the recitation rooms. Although small and crowded, they are comfortable. Eighth, it is our desire to leave you our share in the extensive libraries of H. H. S. fNote the plurall. Ninth, you will be sole heirs to our worn and dilapidated books, our only request being that you finish our unfinished task, that of com- pletely destroying them. Tenth, we will you are portion of the gong, the handbells, buzzer, and other articles of noise. Eleventh, we will you the OWL office. We ask that you do not give it such hard treatment as we have the latter part of the year. Twelfth, we leave you our part in the furnace used in summer and the cold air process used in the winter. Thirteenth, we leave to you our part of the extensive laboratory on the condition that you do not break the beaker, and cause it to close down. Hereby witness my quill on this twenty-third day of May, as the executor of the estate of the Senior Class of '22. KSEALJ qsignedp w. C. KELLEY.

through which there was no railroad. As I started up a long hill I saw a sturdy wagon pulled by two large white horses come into view on the top of the hill. In the wagon I distinguished the figures of a man and a woman seated side by side, and on meeting them I found it to be Odie Cannon eloping with Annabeth Herd. I had a long chat with them and, extending my congratulations, passed on. About a year later I happened to be riding on the M. K. SL T. railway, and stopped of at Jolly to get some mail the house had notified me would be waiting. I walked up to the general delivery window and who should I see peering out at me but Charlie Jenkins. I chatted with him awhile and then caught the train to old Henrietta. The old town had changed much in the course of twenty years, but after much inquiry I found Leland Smith and Pearl Reedy to be still in the old town. They were both happily and prosperously married, and had GOD BLESS OUR HAPPY HOME signs hanging around on the walls of their homes. Edward Brown had become a scientific farmer and was managing some large tracts near Henrietta. VVhile in Henrietta I picked up the latest copy of The Henrietta Independent and read where Howard Hughes, the local photographer, had sold out his studio, formerly the Newsom Studio, and gone to the coast for his health. A few days later I passed through a small country town and on the main street I beheld a red-headed, loud-tongued speaker swaying an audience of open-mouthed rustics on how to banish corns forever with his patented corn-cure. With him was a neat woman who was passing out samples among the audience. I soon recognized the man to be Lowell Ponder and the woman to be Belle Satterfield. The next town was also a small town and it was Circus Day. In the afternoon as I had nothing to do, I went to the circus. I went into a side-show and there was Sadie Glen Brockman posing as the human skeleton and bearded lady. After the show I found Sadie and we began talking over old times. From her I learned that Theron Franke had been with the same circus until a few weeks past when she fell in with a grand opera troupe. The next morning I read in the paper where Jack Fulgham had astonished the nation with some new discoveries in medicine. When we graduated he was working in the Central Pharmacy and there he became acquainted with the practice of medicine. Thus you see how all the members of the class of '22 are progress! ing at their various and prominent stations in life after 20 years absence from the old home town.
