SENIOR CLASS WILL WE, THE class of ’24, after battling long and strenuously through trials of school life, do will and bequeath to our inferiors, the under classmen, individually and collectively, hoping that they reap ample benefit therby: To said underclassmen, the silver loving cup won by us as winners of the Lyceum Course ticket sales contest. To the Juniors, our assembly room, we have no more use for it. To the Sophomores, our motto, “God Bless Our Home,” which we fought for and won in fair and equal contest. To teh Freshmen, our Senior privileges, providing they take them the first semester. To the shop, the privilege of erasing our initials from our desks. To the Faculty, our powers of leadership, hoping that they make use of them as well as we did. I, Bob Bankofier, do hereby will and bequeath my lily-white com- plexion to “Dusty” Kennedy, provided he use Woodbury’s soap to culti- vate his whiskers, as I did. I. Hampton Brady, do hereby will and bequeath my ability to con- quer wild mustangs and play in the orchestra and get away with it to Joseph Lorentz. I, Fred Defenbaugh, do will and bequeath to Earl Stone my ability as a “sticker” providing he doesn’t get stuck as bad as I did. I, Martin Echave, do hereby will and bequeath my athletic ability and noisy ways to Frank Gartiez, if he will benefit by them. I, Joe Germain, do hereby will and bequeath my undying affection for Lillian Pearce to anybody who would have better luck than I did. I, Geraldine Harvey, do bequeath my loving ways and studious habits to Alice Gartiez. I, Elwyn Hubbard, do will and bequeath to anybody that rides with Roy Kelsey, my double-jointed ability to “snake” out of an over-turned car. I, Mary Hurtado, do will and bequeath to Helen Garrett my love for General Science. I, Joe Legarza, do will and bequeath to “Shrimp” Germain my love for Lovelock girls. I, Elmer Lyon, do will and bequeath my place at the steering wheel of a Buick to someone who can do a better job than I did. I, Ben Myers, do will and bequeath my socialistic ideas and ways of getting by in classes to Oddie Lupien. I, Joe Organ, do will and bequeath my Star car and a tank of gas to Miss Gleason, hoping she doesn’t have to go home too often. I, Lillian Pearce, do will and bequeath my lipstick, powder and lapperish ways to Imelda Germain hoping she gets by as good as I tried to. I, Elsie Summerfield, do will and bequeath my boyish ways and strength to Blanche Cosby along with My Basketball outfit. I, Eileen Sutton, do will and bequeath My method on “The Best Way To Reduce,” to Gladys Tregaskis hoping she exists. I, Louise Van Drielan, do will and bequeath my craving for milers and Buick cars to anyone who feels lucky.

“ It is rumored that Monsieur Germaine will retain as his attorney Miss Elsie Summerfield, a noted suffragette leader and president of the American Bar Association. ‘“July4. Jose Organ, financier of the Organolia Chain of grocery stores throughout the United States, presided at a barbecue given to the members of the United Ash Can Association. This barbecue, which was given on the White House lawn, was the largest assemblage of human beings since the time of Coxey’s army. “‘One of the prominent speakers of the day was Secretary of State Defenbaugh, a prominent figure in recent politics because of his opposi- tion to a bill introduced into the House by Senator Hurtado from Ne- vada, which places a tax on families numbering over seven. (Defen- baugh is known to be the proud father of three sets of triplets, and the recent arrival of a set of twins is probably the cause of his vigorous protest.) ‘“August. Dr. H. Lee-Wade Brady, eminent physician and surgeon celebrated his thirty-eighth birthday by performing a successful major operation on the cerebellum of Senor Echave, illustrious tango dancer of Ziegfield Follies, who found it impossible to make his legs reach from the hips to the ground. Due to his sad mishap, Echave will doubtless be unable to perform with his usual grace in the future. “‘ November. Mrs. M. Legarza, better known as Louisville Lou, while marching beside her husband, a hero of the second World War, in an Armistice Day parade, stumbled over an inverted crack in the pa- vement, and sprained her ankle. However, according to hearsay, the foot was protected with insurance of $10,000 on account of being judg- ed the most beautiful in contour and symmetry. “The accident occurred just opposite a soap box orator, Laetitiea Blue-Law Brown, known as a second Billy Sunday, interrupting her discussion of “The Bad Effects of French Heels on Middle-Aged Ped- estrians.’” Here the tale ended. As I gazed about me I was amazed and hor- rified to find the walls adorned with empty Chesterfield cigarette car- tons. My attention was again centered upon the grotesque figure. With breath coming fast it gasped, “My task is finished. I go now to join my classmates.” As these last words were uttered, he fell to the floor. After bury- ing him next morning at the mouth of his lonely cave, my thoughts re- verted to the chronicle he bad so strangely recorded. I found it lying where it had fallen from his lifeless grasp. On the last page of the strange story, at the end, was Written: ‘Recorded by Frederick Easton Benjamin Meyers.’ With this valuable manuscript under my arm, I sought out a way of escaping from the place of death, and left the phantom scene. “At last,” thought I, “authentic history of the Twentieth Century, can now be placed on the market.” E. LYON and E. BROWN.
