Class Will As we rummage thru our pockets in quest of the necessary jitney to pay Charon for transportation across the River Styx, we pause and contemplate. We consider it necessary to bequeath and will away our personal possessions and property to those we leave behind us in dear old Los Gatos High. There- fore we do this day of June the eighth, nineteen hundred and seventeen, hereby bequeath the following: Elsie Mann's cooking ability to 'Thelma Springer since she shows such brilliant knowledge of the aforesaid subject. Pernilla Nelson's gay times at the Union dances to Margaret Borland lest Glenwood prove too slow. Ethel Colbat'h's knowledge of the science of tennis to Georgia Edwards as she is sadly lacking in that propensity. In order to instruct Rusty Shiras in the art of self-defense, we leave Harris Sproule's daily combats with Elizabeth Cameron to him. Nellie Mann's one-horse shay to Rachel Riggs for fear the Willys-Knight will not fill the ticket. Carolyn Hughes' A's to Edwin Roberts to prevent him from receiving such an abundance of Goose eggs. Helen Fail's unfailing failure to arrive at school on time to Elizabeth Hobbie. , Aurella Bates' ability to hit the Pill to Hop'head Shore. William Moore's mischievous nature to George Mors, lest he be too staid. The famous combination powder puff and mirror of Lynda Roberts' to Maggie Owen, that she may not have a slick facial expression, and also Lynda's ability to weild stove wood to her younger brother, Seymour. Dwight Rugh's constant companionship with Leslie F reudenthal to Rachael Riggs and Eleanor Ham to rejuvenate the historical friendship of Damon and Pythias. Ralph Wanzer's Morman disposition to Philo Beach so that Philo may have a sufficient number of female servants to satisfy his lazy and languid disposition. Elinor Topping's Haming sweater to the Lighthouse Commission to keep the ships off the rocks by its incandescent warning. Mary Zimmerman's gift of gab we leave to Mervin Reade, since he is such a bashful youth. The demureness of Edvidge Cerrutti to her sister Esther so as to keep it all in the family. Leslie Freuclenthal's cleverness in administering knock-out punches to Dick Houghton in order that it may assist him in future pugilistic encounters. Darwin Godfrey's propencity for falling in love with the leading lady to Alfred Lewis who is not afflicted with the aforesaid habit. Bessie Hams clever execution of the Twelfth Street Rag to Florence Carlyle so as to uphold the reputation of the Sanctified Ones. Lucile Macabee's propensity for describing snakes in Eng. IV to Charles Michelson for fear he will never have the opportunity to see any. Edna Brown's raving about Lowell High to any poor soul needing audi- tory exerciseq Earl Pearson's San Mateo lady to Chipmunk, in view of the fact that he will probably never possess the courage to choose one of his own accord. 17
