JOlmt ill ill HU'rnnu' of tlip typuiora Of the Senior Class, so noble in mien; In number, a round fifteen. We have decided after solemn thought, That into the world for such things we were brought Our vampire, Cassie, fair to see, A Theda Bara soon expects to be. And John Albert, though -trange it may seem, Will behind the footlights, some day be seen. We find 'tis James Henry’s ambition to be A science teacher of high degree. And Edith Patterson, some peopie say, Will over a bungalow hold sway. Pest’s intention is a missionary to be, And carry the Gospel from sea to sea. Lawrence will be a printer famed; If the world never knows, he mustn’t be blamed. Another fair Senior, Ruby, so wee, Hopes some day a stenographer to be. Susie Scott’s desire is to be in love— May this blessing soon come down from above. Now, Opal Cox has this kind fate; She will be an artist, good and great. The ambition of Jennie, she of vocabulary fame, Is to change her own for a more ponderous name. And Gordon Johnson, so eloquent in speech, Will ti’avel the world and tempei’ance preach. Alas, poor Charles, who is simply grand, Is destined to be a henpecked man. The ambition of Bessie’s life Will be realized—she’ll be a sailor’s wife. The blushing Odosca, you will see, Will capture a promising young M. D. Shelley will be the bachelor maid of the class, So, stand back, lads, and let her pass. Page Foune t Ii.

returned to school we took up our work, studying as never before and receiv- ing only one week Christmas vacation. We were overjoyed on. our return to find Mr. Murphy discharged from service and ready to take up his duties as our instructor and basket ball coach. On New Year’s day we found we were tired of school for the time being and took a most enjoyable holiday. This was the greatest sin we have com- mitted in the sight of our instructors, as we really are a very creditable hunch. In athletics we are very proud of our representatives, two of whom have won letters—Gordon Johnson, the faithful manager of the basketball team, and William Russell, who is ‘‘little but loud.’’ We cannot mention all of our school mates for lack of space, but there are none who have not filled a most valuable place in the life of the school a id as we leave you this year it is with a feeling of sadness for any past de- ficiencies, a hope for success in the great world outside of school and best wishes for the classes who will follow us. —S.

(Elinis Will Wf, the Class ot' 1919 of Madisonville High School, City of Madisonville, county of Hopkins, state of Kentucky, having reached the age of four year ! being of sound and disposing mind, feel that it behooves us to settle out our worn-out possessions on the undeserving unfortunates, who are doomed to inhabit this domicile after their illustrious predecessors have vacated. In short, we are about to give up the ghost, and we do not wish any wrangling M. H. S. students to fight over the provisions of this, our last will and testa- ment. Firstly. As the Class of ’19, we direct that our memory be preserved with all due respect in regard to our inspiring nature, high standing and re- nowned dignity. Secondly. To the Freshmen, we leave our genius for getting into trouble, and we sincerely hope that they will profit by our experiences. Thirdly. To the Class of ’20, we will our worn, battered English note hooks, which we guarantee will carry them safely through examinations. Fourthly. As a class, we leave our conceit and desires for high ambitions to the Sophomore, whom we hope will shine with as much brilliancy as we when they become Seniors. Fifthly. We leave to our beloved faculty and respected pricipal deep appreciation of their kindness and patience given us in our deficiencies and short comings. Sixthly. We request that our long treasured individual possessions be distributed to our chosen heirs in. manner following: Cassie Browning leaves her ability to curl her hair over the tea-kettle to Minerva Gordon, but hopes that she will not have such disastrous results. Bessie Castleberry wishes to donate her power of charming, vanity and love for the sea, to Mary Thomson, and hopes that she will use them as suc- cessfully as she did. Opal Cox bequeaths her ability to handle money, without suffering any personal loss, to Cassie Shadrick. I, Odosca Davis, wish to leave my maidenly blushes to Grace Barnhill, and also my surplus flash to Dorothy Offett. Ruby Downey donates her love for trigonometry to anyone who is fool- ish enough to take it. Rage Fifteen.
