22 THELCOMMENT Qiilass will THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT or THE CLASS or 1923. We, the Senior class of 1923, being of sound mind and disposing mem- ory, and having been duly examined and passed by the Faculty, do hereby will and bequeath the following described qualities, to-wit. Chuck Abell's long experience in K. H. S. we will to Mr. Davis, so that he may be able to govern the school more wisely. ' Charles Bernstein's power to monetize so many difficult things, we be- queath to the treasurer of next year's Athletic Association. We will Francis Brehenyls scarlet Sweater to Horace Washburn. Hor- ace can't find anything that will cover him. i Cecil Fuller's English ability on a billiard table we will and bequeath to Guerdon Meister. Guerdon'S billiard education has been seriously neg- lected. John Fullerls Christmas razor we will to John Criswell. John Fuller doesn't need it any more, he has had his annual shave. Gertrude Cahalan's glasses we will to Don Brumback, so that he can see through his algebra. Lowell Hanes' permanent wave we bequeath to Elizabeth Jones. She says a wave in the hair is worth two by the hand. Helen Whitemarsh's, Mayme johnsonls and Korine Bevering's blonde hair we will to anyone longing for blonde hair. We will John Reither's height and Bud Brown's influence among the girls to Buddie Winger. We feel that these qualities are all that he lacks to become a second Rudolph Valentino. He has had more experience than Rudolph. Raymond Cook's, Ruby Richard's and Harold RusSell's skill on mu- sical instruments we will to the orchestra. Fritz Danford's and Nina Buck's close friendship we give to Laura Worster and Roy Grout, whom we hope will not be bothered by outside inHuence. Leland Finlay's reckless driving we will to John Anschutz, who drives so carefully the police have to make him move on. Amy Merrill's and Elizabeth Aldrich's good disposition we bequeath to Edith Owens, who has a hard time getting along with people. john Curtis' ability to wear a black eye becomingly, we will to the foot- ball and basketball rooters who go to Ft. Madison next year. 'gCliffl' Hewitt's native wit we will to Thomas Joyce. We want Tom to take Cliff's place as entertainer' next year. 'Mabel Fowler's, Violet Sells', Clematis Strohmaier's, Leta Stuten- berg's and Fern Meredith's studious ways we will to Walter Helms. He will need them all. John Heineman's Ustand-inl' with Mr. Rassmussen we will to Bertha Atterberg, by request.

THE COMMENT 21 Reinhold Strohmaier became a blacksmith. He shoos flies and also keeps a dairy. Hazel Haggerty is a librarian and simply adores her Work. I found that Amy Merrill is married and says the difference between a husband and a lover is, one pays the bills and the other pays the compli- ments. ' Also that John Fuller has found life to be one bore. He digs oil wells. Lucille Bradley is a' leading manicurist of Chicago. Blondes always do lead. Louise Linquist has become an educator and asks that laundry should be taught in schools. Yes, that's a point that bas been brought up against it. I doubt if the industry could stand the strain, myself. But time will tell. Oliver Kirchner and Bernard Reed? I know you cannot help but know of Oliver. He became a great Rotarian-says it's the Rotary Clubs that make the world go round. Bernard Reed has become a prize fighter. He just turned down an offer or three-quarters of a million to fight in Buenos Aires, Evidently he isn't interested in fractions. Vivian Kraushaar has become a business woman. She is selling Fords by the bunch, like bananas. L Charles Abell has become a comedian, to the surprise of all He says he has walked so far his socks are worn down to spats. Then there was Earlvin Dunson. After his experience in writing wills he became a lawyer, was married several years ago, and goes under a dif- ferent will now. About my host? Don't think I'll keep you in suspense any longer. I really thought you would be able to guess. It's none other than Mr. Davis. EVELYN ECKLAND.
