All radios are tuned in to listen to Zion City, the Utopia of this universe. The prophet Jupiter is about to broadcast the future of the graduating class of 1924. Stand by and listen to the prophet. In our paths of life we are bound, where eler we are, or what e'er we do, to look into the future. Therefore, to the best of my knowldge and ability, I shall prephesy the future of my class mates. lihe first member is Russell Perrin,who has been class president for the past two years. The future has many things in store for him. He shall be the pilot of one of the largest air hubmobile of this earth, which will be greater than the Shenendoah.

and Livy. Her mind will be so greatly developed, that she will impart some of her Latin phonics to the Latin Kindergarten Students. Buster Buczkowski, the young gentleman who has a wonderful sense of taste for good things to eat, shall be a chef in a hotel in the jungles of Africa. Some of Buster's favorite dishes for the tables will be, Chop Suey, Saurkraut, Spaghetti, and Bird-nest soup. In this hotel he will not be employed very long, for he has vast longings for being a comedian at Chatauquas. Edward Bartelt, known by his ficticious name of Hicky , will be a great boxer in the state of Mississippi. Some of the boxing matches that will be staged will be the Bartelt-Dempsey fight, in which the victor will be Hicky. All the country will rejoice over the marvels of this young combater, and a tin trophy will be awarded to him by the President of the United States. Last but not least, is an auburn haired maiden, who answers to the name of Anita. Anita will have so many wonderful opportunities confronting her that it is hard for .ie to say what she will be. But to my estimation she will remain a good young lady, who acts as the world wants her to act, and become one of the leading Society wom-en of Chicago. Seeing that the time has passed so quickly, and the bells are about to ring for the close of my broadcasting program, I shall say adieu to my classmates, and as I depart into the heavens, I wish them the best of success in all their future undertakings. May this wish follow the motto, FIT 'VIA Vl , to the end. i i Class Will c is AST W'ill and Testament of the Senior Class of 1924, of the Menomonee gg Falls High School, of the Village of Menomonee Falls, in the County of Waukesha, and the State of Wisconsin, made and published this twenty- X it eighth day of hlay, in the year of our Lord, One Thousand Nine Hundred and Twenty-four. VVe, the graduating class off 1924, being mentally and physically capable, having endured the four years required to become of age, and considering the uncertainty of this new, perilous life, do therefore make, ordain, publish and declare the follow- ing to be our Last VVill and Testament. Being of generous and noble nature, we have collected under perilous efforts, a great mass of valuables, which now, in these last moments of our four-year life, we bequeath to those who are near and dear to us. Our parting wish is that the funeral services be conducted with proper pomp and and ceremony and that the underclassmen dress in black to signify their deep sorrow over the loss of such a noble and respected class. The enormous estate, which has taken us four long years to amass, we now be- queath as follows: First-To Principal A. VV. Peck, we leave a new pair of rubber heels to be placed on his shoes so that he will be able to enter the Assembly Room or the Library without attracting the attention of the student body. Second-To our beloved teachers we leave our famous test papers, to be speci- mens of superhuman knowledge. Third-To Miss Fehlhaber, the Latin Class leave all their ponys-may she cnjov them as much as they did. Fourth-To Miss Mac Queen, the English class leave an extra-sized compass in order that she may make more perfect zeroes. Fifth-To Mr. Bartholemew, we leave our lively, talkative ways, may he use them when meeting the ladies. Page Twenty-lhrrr
