Will of the Senior Class IN THE name of all that is just and hon- orable, we, the Class of 1923, being of sound mind, and considering the uncer- tainty of this frail, transitory life, do therefore make, ordain, publish and de- clare this to be our last Will and Testa- ment : FIRST: We request those later men- tioned to personally attend our funeral which we insist shall be held at the Milo Opera House. That our name and ac- counts of our fame be carefully inscribed in most conspicuous places of the building so that the classes to follow may ever be reminded of the Class which so nobly marched through the LaPorte High School. SECOND: We order and direct that our executors give the name and dignity of the Seniors to the unworthy class of 1924 as soon after our demise as conveniently as may be. THIRD: From the various members of the celebrated Class, we do hereby will and bequeath: 1. To the Junior class the power to un- questionably retain its right of being the only class that can change its colors whenever it so pleases. 2. A “Maxim Silencer” to Helen Phillips. May she use it frequently. 3. Kit Anderson’s “lonesomeness” to Al- berta Homann. 4. Roy Johnson’s adorable naturable mar- cell to Helen Cook. 5. Chet Leliter’s athletic ability to Har- old Bennethum. 6. To those we leave behind, the book “What Might Have Been.” 7.

In the short time that I have been here, I have explored Heaven from end to end. So the other day, wish- ing for something to do, I dropped over to the Pearly Gates to pay good old St. Peter a social call. During the course of our conversation, he informed me of the fact that we angels could go anywhere and see anything on earth by the simple expedient of wishing ourselves there. Remembering that over twenty years had elapsed since my graduation from L. P. H. S., I became possessed of the idea of seeing what sort of a life my old class- mates were leading. So I jumped on a passing sunbeam, and in less than no time I was in LaPorte again. The first thing that struck my eye was a beautiful new twenty story school build- ing. Upon visiting it I found several of my old schoolmates. Elsie Magnuson was physical director of the girls. The high school was very fortunate in getting Miss Magnuson’s services as she is well-known as one of the winners in the Olympic games recently held in England. Pago Twenty-four
