We. the members of the Senior Class of 1907, In the City of Lancas- ter, County of Fairfield, and State of Ohio, being of sound and disposing mind, do make and publish this our last will and testament, hereby caus- ing all former will made by us to be declared null and void. Item I. We give and bequeath to the L. H. S. ns a whole, all the money that is left in our treasury, to be used In the purchase of statuary. Item II. We give to our six teach- ers of the High School, restful nights and peaceful dreams, The class of 1907 does hereby promise them a rest from all requests. Item III. To the classes which fol- low us we bequeath the honorable record which wo have carried thru the entire L. H. S. course. Item IV. To the Freshmen we give this advice; they seem able to get everything else unaided. The upper classmen have noticed among the Freshmen a lightness in the head, caused by Its swelling during the past year and we advise them, each and everyone, to have it attended to Im- mediately; for if it continues grow- ing. bu the time they reach the Sen- ior year tne results will be disastrous. Item V. To the Sophomores we be- queath our note books which contain great stores of knowledge and which, also, will be of great use to them. Item VI. To our beloved friends, the Juniors, we give our class hooks and the privilege of sitting in our room, which will, we hope, be appreci- ated as much by them as by us in for- mer times. Last, but by no means least, the Senior dignity, which we know will be a weighty strain on their nerves; but we hope they will bo able to bear up under it. Item VII. To the whole L. H. S. we leave the remnants of the Glee Club, which we hope will do as good work tn the future as when their Senior friends stood beside them. Item VIII. We do hereby appoint our said principal to be the sole executor of this our last will and tes- tament, and request that he may not be required to give bond. In witness whereof we, the class of 1907, sub- scribe our names this llth day of June. 1907. CLASS OF 1907.

The remainder of my voyage I did not see any of my old schoolmates and friends; so after a year’s sojourn abroad, 1 returned to my native land. Not yet tired of travel I decided on reaching New York that before 1 set- tled down 1 would visit my childhood home at J ancaster. O. While visiting in Lancaster I saw the rest of my frieuds, among whom wore Elmer Acton, who now was the superintendent of the B. I. S. He had acquired a definite knowledge of the manner in which thiugs should be ex- ecuted by his frequent visits to this Institution in his High School days, uttnough those visits were not busi- ness ones. As assistant superintend- ent. I found Wayne Courtright an ex- cellent officer. I spent several days as guest of my trlends. While visiting the schools one day I found Florence Wentz, Edith Derby- shire and l.ena Hush as teachers. 1 visited the room of each and queer to say round in all this Spoil the Rod, Spare the Child. By the looks of the poor children 1 no not think they wore spared and the majority were spoiled In books. 1 also saw Helen Kraemer who by this time had changed her name, or had it changed for her. She is now spending a happy married life with her Ideal Harry. ' Picking up the paper I noticed that I.io great event oi the week was the reunion of the K. K. K. club, which was to be held at the home of Mary dignes Beck. All members were to be present and great preparations were t.eing made. As 1 had seen all my old chums und schoolmates and was not a member of this famous club I decided that it would be best tor me to return to my home.

Has dwindled down to thirty-one Prepared for Its discharge. The Junior class has thirty-one Rut next year, can't you see. When we are ready to depart We’ll go with twenty-three. But those of us who yet remain Within the firing line, While we still have a chanco to run We'll surely not decline. With W. C. as principal And u. I), stuffing Dutch If all the class don’t go to sleep It certainly will learn much. Miss Davidson has taught so long Her hair Is growing gray; . But, Miss Curtiss, now so young and spry. Will marry yet. some day. Miss Lowrte, we sincerely hope. Will pass her days in peace For she has taught us how to pray As all our tasks increase. Professor Weinland. I’ve torgot. He is so short and small, You cannot toll him from a hoy As lie walks thru the hall. So as we separate this year From our happy work and fun. We thank the teachers, one and all, For the good work they have done —O. M., 08. SENIORS OF L. H. S. Comparing all classes under the sun. Brilliant Seniors put them all on the bum. Alert and active, one and all Up and doing at every call. It has come down through tradition that Adam being the first born was but an experiment and Eve was not made after his likeness. But here 13 another common mistake.—Our Prln. A few songs favored by L. H. S. students: Love Me and the World is Mine”— M. Sturgeon. Are You Coming Out Tonight Mary Ann’’—Carl Groff. Sweet Marie. —Bob Work. How’d You Like to Spoon With Me. J. Campbell. So Long Mary —R. Crook. So live that when rhy summons come To join that Innumerable caravan Which moves to that unhallowed room Where each must take his June exams Then go not like a blooming idiot, sure of thy flunking But sustained and soothed by an un- faltering trust Approach thy desk like one who hath a pony in his Inside pockei And sit down to a dead sure thing. Patter, patter, still we hear them. Charming little Freshmen, dears. Trotting ’round in class room, Some In smiles and some in tears. Sweet and bashful little maidens, Hardly dare to drop a smile. Noisy, tanned and ragged urchins. Rashly clatter down the aisle. Even tho’ they aro a nuisance, Yet. we love them, just the same. For they give a verdant aspect, To our schoolroom, bare and plain. HERE'S TO HERR THOMAS. Yos, Professor, we thought of you As day after day. You sought for more knowledge In that land far away. While In Deutchlnnd you thought Of the ancient Mozart; Professor Brashares Propelled a go-cart. And he longed for the days When as pards you were saying: O that wo. wo, two. were a-Maylng.” Your godmother. Miss Davidson’s Hair. I must say As you swept down the Rhine, Grew a trifle more gray. For she thought of the boy Who, with dangers beset Was afar in a land That has always gone wet.” But while in Hartz mountains. You conversed with the Dutch Miss Curtiss, our loved one, Thought of you much: She. at least took a kerchief With a very black border And leaving the city and friends Who adored her. She lied with a sigh To her dear old home; Where she could think undisturbed Of the bird that had flown. Then h'ere’s to Herr Thomas, Who’s returned safe and sound. From the land where pretzels Cover the ground. Where cheese grows on vines Like the pumpkins we have; And the i eoplc aro greasy As Witch Hazel salve. Whore sauer kraut's the food And beer is the drink Herr Thomas, we’re glad That your ship didn't sink. —Ralph E. Hedges, ’07.
