V 0112155 will We, the Senior Class of '28 of Lima High School, Lagrange County, State of Indiana. have felt for some time that the end of our career in The Little Red School House at the end of the road is near. It has been noted of late that many of our noble Seniors have been having high tempera- tures, fevers and many other ills and ail- ments. Of course we have been doctored with bitter doses of lessons and many a scowl and frown, but we feel what we have taken has been a poison rather than a cure to our sys- tems. Due to this critical condition we think that it is only proper that we should leave this document to the world to be looked upon and forever remembered as coming from our as- tonishing, brilliant class. Therefore, being so soon to pass from this world of strife into another of perpetual peace, and, being in full possession of alert minds and in sound health of bodies, do make, publish and declare this writing to be our last will and testament. Hereby revoking and making void all other testimonial writings by us heretofore made. First, we do direct that our funeral serv- ices shall be conducted by our friends and well-wishers, only asking as the last wish of the dying that our funeral be carried on with all the dignity and pomp that our own worth, our merits, our attainments and our positions as Seniors must certainly deserve. As to such estate as it has pleased the fates and our own strong hands and brains to win for us, we do dispose of the same as fol- lows: ARTICLE I. We give and bequeath our happy school days to all lower classmen. ARTICLE II. To the Juniors, as our rightful and 'worthy successors, we leave: Item 1-Our long cherished, hand-carved seats. Item 2-Our Senior docility. Item 3-Our positions as model pupils of the school-models of beauty, wisdom, dignity and good behavior. ARTICLE III. . To the Sophomores we will our ability to handle school aHairs in such an excellent manner. ARTICLE IV. To the Freshmen Class we give the right to invade the Senior rooms only when in quest of paper wads to fill the lamp shades. ARTICLE V. To Mr. Appleman for his faithfulness in guiding our ship through many a storm, we will in loving remembrance, in place of for- get-me-nots, bits of ribbon of many hues ARTICLE VI. The following valuable personal bequests should be an everlasting reminder of the Class of '28 and members thereof: Item 1-I, Mona Murray, do will my bash- fulness to Paul Atwater. Item 2-Unto Rosco Schemahorn we will Donald Sweeney's art of vamping the faculty. There's a reason. Item 3-I, Eva Troyer, do bequeath my diamond ring to the Junior Class to be used by any members thereof who might have need of it first. Item 4-I, Ruth Kline, do give my price- less book, How to Win a Husband, to Helen Brady. Item 5-To Maynard Fair, we will Paul Large's Shakespearian vocabulary. Item 6-I, Gerald Urick, do bequeath my gracefulness to Harriet Horning. Item 7-To Mercedis Bare, Marlo Sche- mahorn gives his natural, legal and moral re- sponsibility of upholding the Senior dignity. Item 8-We will Kenneth Strawser's bas- ketball ability to Robert Yunker. May our 'team ever shine. Item 9-I, Helen Yunker, do will my vocal talent to Mary Todd. Item 10-I, Wilbur Stanner, do will and bequeath my hair to a certain boy in the Sophomore Class who seems to be quite fond of red hair. Item 11-To Miriam Pitkin we will Dor- othy Taylor's desire to have gentlemen ad- mirers. Item 12-We bequeath Marjorie Mosier's sunny smile and good naturedness to- Item 13-I, Laura Girch, will and be- queath my ability to take things as they come and to be in a hurry. Charles Cookingham. In witness whereof we have hereunto set our hands and seals this sixteenth day of May, in the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and twenty-eight, in Lima High School of Howe, County of Lagrange. Sworn to before me this 16th day of May, 1928. PAGE 12 6 Q 0-GQ-QI

The part taken by the teams representing Lima this year has been taken very creditably by the athletes of our school. Taking advantage of the splendid gym erected last year by school patrons, our Bas- ketball teams have had a fair measure of suc- cess during the season only lately finished. While not winning all of the games, a fair portion have succumbed to the work of the squad picked to defend Lima against compet- ing teams. We are well satisfied with the showing made this year. Only three boys and one girl graduate from our first teams, so a 3400000-0r0-Q-0 0 Q4 0000 0-04-04 PAGE successful future should await the teams ol' succeeding years. A brilliant part has been taken by the Grade Five, who have won a very large per- centage of their games. In previous years Baseball has suffered a relapse in importance in our school, but this year our national sport has come back strong. Playing more games than ever before, our team has well upheld the honor of Lima High School. A successful future may also be prophesied for this branch of our athletics. Let us hope that the ability and love of fair play shown this year may be used as an example by future teams, and may the high standards set by this and previous years never be lowered. 9-9-Q-o-0-O-0-OO 11
