CLASS OF '26 The hills behind the school are purple, blue and grey. Upon them stands a group of Seniors now, Their eyes turn toward the shining foamg But one great object calls their interest now- It is their school, the one they are to leave! Their vision pierces through the outward wall, The orange brick, And finds therein green algebras, Theme paper, and dance programs. And now the hour draws near for us to part. We see ourselves as once we stood amidst The years of joy in comradeship of old. And then we sigh, aware of nothing but The Past, And let our minds to feasts of memories go. The classes of each year are quiet now, And silence sends us farther to the peak. We gaze ahead, and see the beckoning hands Which pull at cords that lead us gently on. Each one of us has his own path to climb. The goddess Chance may come, and we exult In Future's mighty call, and for a moment Pause-the Future and the Past. The apparition fades away. There is no sound But beating of our hearts, and they are sad. Our arms unfold, and steps we slowly take Until the cherished school has set behind the ridge. We look once more, through misty eyes, and view the flag-pole's gold. The Future calls us now! We turn, and trudge, With pictures stamped upon our hearts that never will Depart. -Donovan Bess

CLASS OF 1926 WILL We, the Class of June, 1926, being now at the end of our rope, wish to bequeath certain of our shortcomings, accomplishments, and belongings to those poor unfortu- nates whom Fate, Time, and the Board of Education have decreed must wobble on in our coveted shoes. I, Harriet Gridley, being in an extremely foolish mood, do here-by bequeath, will, and give Woofenpoof to the first person who promises to keep it shined as well as I did. I, Joe Richert, hereby will my uninterested manner to anyone capable of making good use of it. I, Willard Barnes, will this advice to the Freshmen: Always be kind and indulgent with your teachers, if they should come to you for advice, do not assume a haughty mien but rather act with a simple dignity and generosity which will endear you to all. I, Mildred Robinson, bequeath the secretary's post of the Senior Class to the Dictograih, knowing that no sensible human being would want it. I. Billie Wfatrous, feeling very sympathetic, do leave my soft brown curls to one of the many little girls who have so often admired them. I, Marguerite Donnelly, bequeath my talent in dramatics to Mr. Bloomenshine to distribute as he sees fit. I, Paul Wihlams, leave to the next Editor-in-Chief of the Annual a good job with plenty of work, responsibility, and fun. I, Eleanor Barnes, bequeath my good disposition and patience to the incoming Seniors, knowing they will need both. I, Chas. Ray, leave my brains, few though they be, to Tudor Scripps, hoping he will plant them somewhere and watch closely to see if some rare plant for weedj sprouts from them. I, Gladys Darnell, being in a generous mood, do will and bequeath to Fran Lane, my taste for soda-mints, and also the many empty bottles which occupy Locker Number 22. I, Sam McFarland, leave my ability to captivate the girls with bewitching looks to John Christie. I, Connie Copeland, leave to Doris Kramer what little ability I have as a scholar, which she may combine with her own to some advantage perhapsl I, Fred Martino, leave to Bobby Lehner, my baseball shoes which he has never returned. I, Aldine Dickson, will the fun of making people stop to watch me while I'm danc- ing to anyone who needs amusement. We, Eileen, Tessie and Bea, do will and bequeath to Helen Maier, Tillie, and Tliora, all of our good luck and ability on the field. I, Sanford Berenson, before starting for the home for the feeble-minded, leave the implements with which I labored in Mechanical Drawing to anyone who can put them to such idiotic use as I have done. I, Henry Adams, leave my position in the Orchestra to John DuLaney, hoping he will appreciate it as much as l have. I. Margaret Allen, will the joy of collecting Senior cuts for the annual to any- one who is dumb enough to accept such a job. I, Donovan Bess, do hereby will to Philip Stockton the many poems written to Marguerite and signed with his name. I, Jane Rose, leave my waiting list to the girl who is fortunate enough to capture thoni.
