CLASS MEMORIAL RUTH KENDALL It is usually the custom in most schools for the graduating class to leave some gift as a memorial. For several years this has been the custom in Houghton High School, but the memorials left by past classes were all lost in the fire. It is appropriate that we should leave something that will be both ornamental and useful in the new building, for, as we do not want to forget our school days, we do not want to be for- gotten by our followers. At the top of the stairs in the old high school stood a large mahogany clock, which in its day served to speed our lagging foot- step toward the class room, and we, the class of 1923, wish to replace it. This clock will stand in the hall and will bear our class number. During the past year especially we have felt the need of a good clock to keep classes moving on schedule. This clock will satis fy this need in the new building and by its loud ticking it will constantly remind all future classes of the class of '23, CLASS WILL LILLIE PHPPO VVe, the Class of 1923 of the Houghton High School, Village of Houghton, State of Michigan, of the United States of Amer- ica, being in full possession of a sound mind, well-trained memory, and almost superhuman understanding, do hereby make, declare, and solemnly swear to this our last will and testament. To our dear faculty who have been our instructors in all the wisdom of the ages, we give all the knowledge and information which we have furnished to them in vari- ous classes. We also leave to them a sweet and unbroken succession of restful nights and peaceful dreams during their summer vacation. ' To our beloved Superintendent, John E. Erickson, and the Board of Education, we give our sincere affection and many thanks for the opportunities they have granted to us during our school years. We give and bequeath to the Junior Class the enthusiasm, class spirit, .and ever-endur- ing friendship of the Class of 1923. To the sophomores and freshies we give our Senior dignity. May they then uphold it forever, with all seriousness and gravity, endeavoring to realize its vast importance in spite of their natural light-mindedness. To the Junior Commercial Class we be- queath Sigrid Pelto's and Lila Kellow's shorthand and typewriting ability.
