'lr s l9 THE LIBERTY 26 flllzxss will 'Phe Senior class of this school, realizing that soon it would cease to exist and as it possessed many treasures beyond price that might cause contiict, among those who desired to secure them, it took a careful inven- tory and distributes them as follows, which is its last will and testament: Listen, one la-nd all, while I read this precious document. We the class of 1926, being about to cease our existence as a class. being of sound minds, in fact, having well crammed minds and superhu- man understanding, with a memory that was never known to fail. do make and publish this rats our last will and testament. To our highly respected faculty, who have imparted to us all the wis- dom of the ages, we bequeath a sweet succession of peaceful nights and dreamless sleeps. No longer need they spend the dreary hours of dark- ness, wondering whether their dear wards are pouring over their lessons in geometry, reading the fatscinating pages of Iinglish literature or trip- ping the light fantastic to the frightful strains of jazzy music. lt is said that children are easy to manage in the first grade but the difficulty in- creases as the years go by, so by the time they are in the twelfth grade they cannot be man1a.ged or controlled hy any power possessed by man. For this reason we make the faculty the residuary legatee of this will so each will have ample reward. Also i11 recognition of their watchful care over us we bequeath to our teachers the limitless knowledge and astounding information that we have furnished them at various times in our examination papers. XVe re- alize that many things we have imparted were entirely new to them and all the rest of mankind. If this information could be spread to the utter- most parts of the earth it might i'l'il1lSf0l'lll many benighted people so we hereby authorize the faculty to spread this information wherever and whenever it will 'accomplish the greatest good to the greatest number. 'l'o our beloved principal we bequeath our deepest reverence, our sin- cere affections aud our heartiest gratitude. During the years we have spent in this school he has taken the keenest interest in our welfare as in- dividuals and as a class, so as a partial payment .of the debt of gratitude we owe him a tirst mortgage on the glittering reputations and stupendous achievements which the great mysterious future has in store for us.

l9 Tl-I E l.l BERTY------26 51112155 Elgruplgerg 1 A short time ago I eame home late and being very hungry I ate a luneh of piekles, eheese and potato salad. I then retired and the sweet repose of sleep rlosed my eyes and shut out the noise of the turhulent world. Soon I entered that eondition that the most profound scientists have never heen ahle to explain, ealled dreamland. K In a moment I seemed to he wafted 20 years into the future. I was on a beautiful island in the South Sea, where the sting of winter was never known. I had heen east upon this island from a sinking ship. The natives thought I was more than mortal, so made me their King. I was furnished with :al splendid home and shown all the respect ot' royalty. In spite of all the honors showered upon me hy the simple natives, I longed for my own people and looked forward to the time when a ehanee ship would eome to my reseue. Iiaeh day I went with a retinue of attendants to a high hill where I eould look far over the oeean in search ol' a sail, hut eaeh day returned disalppointed. As the years went hy I learned to love my island home. Imagine my astonislnnent one day as from my aeeusiomed hill I saw a ship, full-rigged, hearing down direetly on our little harhor. Soon I saw she was i11 distress and was seeking a harbor of ret'uge. She dropped anehor abreast of us and a few frightened falees looked over the railing and among others was the intelligent faee of a middle-aged wo- man who seemed far more eomposed than the men. In spite of the twen- ty odd years that had passed I easily reeognized the features of Ruth Gordon. She was wild with delight, as she saw a white man, hut did not know me. Imagine her astonishment and joy when she learned who I was, onee her jazz time hushand. She said she was going as a missionary to a South Sea Island, hut she found me and deeided to stay. I led the way to my splendid mansion and while we prepared for dinner she told me the story of the graduating class ot' 1926. It sounded like a fairy tale, as the history of some of the elass seemed more like a story writte11 for a hook tha11 of real life. I was so anxious to hear of the dear old class I eould hardly wait t'or Lulu as we used to 1-all her, to get primped up. Suddenly I said. Now you eau Page I4
