the Parties. I believe It would be much more In keeping, though, to take count of stock and list the damages which have been wrought In our passage through the halls and classrooms of Joice High School. Of damage to the sohool I dare not. The less said about Initialed desks, penciled books, and battered teachers, the better. Of damage to our minds there has been little racking effort. The last four years have been happy ones. Our teachers and our principal have done everything that human beings possibly could do to make our time spent here both profitable and pleasant. Our associations with one another have been very pleasant too, and fruitful of lasting friendships that will continue for the remainder of our lives. Whatever our success and future happiness, I am sure that each one of us will be able to look back on our days at Joice High School and sayj Those were the four happiest years of our life. The definition of a gift. In law, is a voluntary conveyance of property usually without legal consideration. Not wishing to do anything which isn't lawful we never do anything like that. We will follow this definition very closely, and more especially since we can't afford a lawyer anyway. (lifts are of two kindst Causa Mortis, or those given while the donor, be- lieves himself In Imminent danger of death, and Inter Vivas, or those given when the donor is in no fear of death. Being no more pessamlstlo than the average person, we decided to present gifts of the latter type. In order that a gift may be legal there must be actual or constructive delivery, the donor must have acted of his own free will (no one twisting our arms), and the donor must be competent to contract. There they go again; trying to aoouse us of not being able to think straight I By this time they should know better than that. After all the above mentioned requirements are complied with, the gift becomes irre- vocable between the parties—in other words—no Indian giving. So to proceed with the gifts. So Richard Abraham won't have to rely on the Mercury when his father is using the Buiok, we have this car so he will be avle to go see his girlfriend. To Lorna Haroldson, we give this box of non-sleep tablets so dhe can stay awake when she is out on a date with Qary, especially when on her way home from Albert Lea. We don't know how much of a hunter you are Junior Rogness, but Just in oase you haven't got your license yet, here it is and free of charge. We understand that there is open season on blondes now but don't take more than your limit and always be sure to give them a sporting chance-no more than a five foot handicap. To Don Ball, the lady-killer of this class we give this doll so he can have one of his own. Don, you can practice your line with her on the way to Lake Mills. To Darrell Bang, the Chevy lover of the class, we give a share of stock in the Ford Company, or if you'd rather you can use it as a down payment on a new car—Ford only 1 To Merlyn Heimdal, we give this camera so he can take plotures of all his girlfriends. So Eleanor Malloy won't have to take her shoes off to sneak in the house at night (or in the morning) we give her this pair of noseless shoes. To Clarice Arneson, we give this beautiful diamond ring to use as a sub- stitute for Harold's class ring. If Clarice doesn't think this is real she can test it by applying one of the Physic's formulas she learned so well. To Darwin Bang, we give this diamond ring which he may keep for a certain girl.

In Juno, 1952 I Joined the Women'» Air Force becauee It Just seemed that going on to school would never work for me. Five years later I waa given a fif- teen day furlough and then I was to be sent to the West Coaat where I was going to ship out for Hawaii, When I arrived at home I decided I'd Just have to look up my eight class- mates and see how they were ooming in life. Mother informed me that Clarice was living between Hanlontown and Joice on a nice big farm, she was now Mrs. Harold Hagen and had two little boys. I spent one day with Clarice talking over the good times we had spent together in Joice High. I left Clarice's at about 5 P.m. and when I got back to Joioe I had an urge to do some shopping again. Abrahams Cash Store had always been a nice place and anyway it was on my way home. Who should be standing behind the counter but my classmate Bubby. Some how he hadn't made enough money to get to Oklahoma, but he still insisted that he was going,that is if he oould talk his wife into going with him. It seems that Bubby knew where most of our classmates were. He told me Don had married and was playing professional baseball. He had signed a contract with the St. Louis Cardinals. I was lucky enough that they were having a home game when I would be in St. Louis to change trains. Bubby and I talked a little longer but then it was time to close the store, so I went home. My furlough was Just about over and I wanted to spend a few days in St. Louis with Don, his wife and family. When I arrived in St. Louis Don was there to meet the train. It was lucky I got in in the morning and there was a ballgame that night. Of oourse we went to the game and Don played a wonderful game, as usual. He made three homeruns making his total for the season thirty-three. I left St. Louis before I had planned because there was some business I had to attend to before I shipped out. I stopped in Reno, Nevada and went to a telephone directory to find the lawyers who had a business there. The list was mighty long but I read through it and discovered that junior Rogness was a Reno lawyer. He had always wanted to be a lawyer but I had figured he'd be married and have a family by now. Immediately I went to Junior's office and he still looked the same, even as far as to that blonde butch. He was surprised to see me and was willing to take care of my business. It seems that his classmates were relying on him to take their troubles to. He told me Eleanor was having trouble with some of her customers and she was now sueing a large chain store for breaking a contract and not paying her enough money. Eleanor had married a wealthy business man and had acquired so much wealth that she had set up her own factory the Malloy Mayonaise Manufactures. junior called Eleanor and told her we were ooming for dinner and to be sure and put her little boy to bed. junior informed me that if she didn't we would be leaving the house probably as cripples. Of oourse, Eleanor insisted he was an angel. Her home was a beautiful twenty-five room mansion. The floors were all carpeted and there wasn't a speck of dust to be found, well there shouldn't be she had enough maids to keep two families unemployed. The dinner was delicious and I was Invited to spend the night in one of the extra rooms. In the morning Eleanor drove me to the station in her new Cadillac I must admit it was nice but the way she drove it wouldn't be long before a fender or two would be all smashed. KARL 0.
