The MEDINIAN Class Will By Ruth White We, the Class of 1930, being of sound and disposing mind, do hereby publish and declare the following as, and for, our last will and testament, revoking all other will and codicils heretofore made. Item I: To the Juniors, we bequeath the innumerable errors which we have com- mitted during our four years of high school. We do this in order to more nearly bal- ance their perfection. Item II : Our diligence and loce for study we present to the Sophomores. Item III: We honor the Freshmen with our spelling ability on condition that they make good use of it by winning the cup in 1931. In addition to these general bequests, we beg leave to submit the following indi- vidual bequests: Lawrence Dake bequeaths his quietness to Frank Averill and Frank Simmerman so that the other members of the American History class will be able to take some part in the discussion. John Wyman, otherwise known as George Washington Gettum, bestows an ex- traordinarily large safety pin upon Jimmy Brown. We are more than sorry to part with such a distinctive laugh as that of Maynard McFadden’s, but have decided to give it to Harold Spahr. We present Lucia Rickard’s ability to giggle at any time to Margaret Dundas. Clarence Orcutt wills his ability to write thrilling notes to girl friends to Red Cole. For the sake of their future employers we bestow Eleanor and Eloise Beedle’s sim- ilarity upon Tom and Joe Englert. Max Dougherty bequeaths his ability to sleep during an entire Advanced Alge- bra class to Bob Rowe. Maynard Shafer is unwilling to give up his position as an employee to Uncle Sam. Lawrence Abbott expresses himself as very glad to give up his alphabetical right to the front seat to John Abbott. Letha Ritter agrees to give her ability to eat more sandwiches than anyone else to Esther Eastwood, on the condition that Esther will loan it to her whenever she is invited to a party. Maxine Brought wills her ability to spend half of the sewing period primping before the fitting room mirror to Frances Rockwell. Raymond Kendall wishes to be relieved of the weight of the small sized alarm clock which he carries. He says he will give it to any Junior who will wind it daily in Civics class. After a great deal of coaxing we have at last persuaded Mae Nichols to give her noisy manners to Rozella Wyman. Mary Keleman presents her love for argument to Aunda McCook Don’t you pity Red? We are very proud of the innocense (so infrequently found, these days) of Marjean Smith and Red Whitmore, when, after writing notes quite openly for an entire per- iod, they still believe that Mr. Fenn hasn’t seen them. This rightly goes to Miriam Snyder and Claude Edwards. We take the greatest of pleasure in presenting Corwin Hoff’s leisurely manner and infrequent speech to Billy Batchelder. Twenty Tour

The MEDINIAN We think our Senior dignity is well displayed by Elsie Hopkins when she tiptoes quietly into a class room to call someone to the telephone. Elsie is willing to give this to Dorothy Wilbur. Robert Eddy bequeaths his love for Bill Smith to Miss Phillips to be bestowed upon Dudley Bagley. Marcella Crandell presents her pink and white complexion to Zoe Walters to take the place of certain frequent applications from a vanity case. We have noticed lately in Hazel Elder a most astonishing lack of class spirit. She positively refuses to share her boy friend with any of us and she won’t even let the girls look at her diamond for more than one and one ' half minutes at a time. Helene Winters, who will undoubtedly be the world’s next Fritz; Kreisler, be ' queaths her ability as a violinist to Milford Harley. Elsie Lentz is willing to give a few of her surplus pounds to any Junior who thinks he has lost weight working on the annual. George Thomas bequeaths his ambitio n in working at Root’s every afternoon after school to Welden Anderson. Hallie Shook bestows her ability to put a Chevrolet through its paces to Made ' line Palmer. Helen Tanner very regretfully gives up her loud voice to Arline Buffington. Ruth Ewing presents her habit of continually chewing gum to her best girl friend, Mary Luella Foskett, in the hope that the constant exercise may help to reduce her chin. Harold Myers bequeaths his knowledge of farming to Mr. Thimas, who says that the life ambition of all musicians is to retire and live on a farm. Dorothy Voorhees tells us that she would like very much to give a certain silver initialed ring which she wears to some one, but adds that she doesn’t think you really ought to give away things that don’t belong to you. Marian Fulton wills her ability to carry off first prize in a beauty contest to Ruth Shue. Cotta Smith bequeaths her ability to play flutes to Arlene Huffman and Ruth Rickard providing they make good use of it in the High School orchestra next year. Ruby Selzer imparts her ability to cook lunches for the teachers to Kathryn Kaufman. In the event that any of these bequeaths is ignored the entire property of the Senior class must be sold at auction and the proceeds used to buy food for the gold ' fish in the park.
