As to suchestate as it has pleased the ,Fates and our own strong hands and brains to win us we do dispose of the same as follows: ' We give and bequeath to the ,facul- ty who has been our instructors in all wisdoms of the ages, a sweet and un- broken succession of restful nights and peaceful dreams. No longer need they lienawake through. theifwatches of the night to worry over the uncer- tainly of whether this one is doirg her night work, or that ore will have her mathematics n the morning class, or the -other one-will remember every iron clad rule of compostional tech- nique in preparation of her essay. It has been a hardastrain for them for the Seniors are said Ito be at all times and under allconditions difficult to manage. But they have all done their duty, and Verity, row shall they have the-ir well earned reward. M To the Class of '25 we do hereby be- queath our small school worries such as Physics, Solid Geometry, and the .,.. ,I--1 I., right to t-ake History quiiesl , V To-the Sophomore Class we will gladly leave our' good reputation, our enthusiasm, our pep, and on.r.cla'ss spirit, knowing that they need them sorely. W- , ' - The Freshmen Class, 'we will give nothing but our sympathy.

We have sometimes had to rid ourselves of these in too much haste' to be -able to pick and--ichoose the most desirable means of disposal. The following highly treasured valu- ables we will le-ave to those whom we hope 'will appreciate and -praise them as highly as we did: a- I, Helen Adeline Strother, do here- by leave to my fellow classmate, Got- lieb Abbegglen, my ability to bluff, which was willed to me by a member of the class of '22 and I hope that it will bring him the same good: results that it did me. ' , To 'Kenneth Smith, whom I -know hasthe same 'failing as I- did I will leave a few pieces of candy which for the exceptions of having a bite or two taken from them, are still very good and fresh.

' Last comes the one thing hard for us to part Uwith. . To our successors we must' leave our places in the hearts and thoughts of our Superintendent and teachers. They will love them, unworthy as we feel they are, even as they have loved usg they will show them all the.same tender kindness and attention that they gave and be- stowed upon us: they will feel the sameusori ow when they fail. We trust that, the Class of 1925 will appreciate all. this as deeply as we have done, that it may be their most precious possession as it has been ours, and-the one we are most loath to hand over to them.. -A , Besides these enforced g'fls, we leavef-not of necessity, but our own free w'll-our blessing, tender mam- ories of our plea 'ant aspirations to- gether, and our f-in-rgiveness for any- thing. that ,we may not have exact y pledged of f iendship from hencz- forth and forever.

A high school orchestra was organ- ized aboutthe first of February. The players are: Harold Potter, lst cornetg Dwight Kelly, 2nd cornetg Kenneth Kelly, saxaphone-, Edward Jenkinson, 2nd violing Ken Smith and Paul Rupp 1st violinsg and Hazel Smith. piano. -A new member joined the orchestra on the night of May 9th, Elvin Hill, 1st clarinet. ' , . d A regular orchestra practice is held every Tuesday evening after school. o Thebenefit of an orchestra cannot be over estimated. A musical .educa- tion even if it doesn't enable ia per- son toearn his living, is beneficial in giving pleasure to the players as well et. H1 , .4 as to thehearers. a ' A 1 . A- - A The orchestra will make its first public-.appearance on the night of May 23rd. , I y V Piano Fund' is The Piano Fund is Aa .fund that was raised by the Mon.roe High School for the purpose of buying a piano for the school. , About fifteen dollars were left over. in the treasury from the year before. In order to increase this amount 'a play was staged b-y the Junior and Senior classes of the High S. hool. This increased the fund to sixty-five dol- larsg an addition-al twenty-five dollars was taken out of the treasury of the Monroe School Doctrine. At the pres- ent time a hundred dollars have been paid on the piano which is in the Sen- ior assembly of the high school. Next year the balance will be paid by the school. . is The piano is a beautiful instrument in a dark oa.k finished case., It is used three mornings every week for sing- ingg and it comes in very handy in entertainments and for the school or- chestra during practice. The play that was staged for the purpose of' enlarging the fund was: Aaron Slick from Punkin C.rick. The play was staged in other towns as -well as Monroe. The three acts were very interesting, and-the large attendances showed their ' appreciation by their 'loud applause. If I Knew- If I know the box where the smiles were kept, No matter how large the box or stzong the keyg I'd-try! so hard, I know it would open for me. ' Then broadcast, I'd scatter those ' smiles to play.. E , So careworn people might hold them fast- ' . For many and many a day. If Iiknow a box that was large ,eroughg For all the frowns th-at I meet I would hold them, fold them, pack them in . ' And turn the -monster ke-y. I I'd hire a giant to drop the box, To the depths of the deep blue sea. I -M. H.

'The chairs and seats in the Senior Assembly were pushed out of the way andieverything was put in readiness 'for playing games. Various .games were played which all-enjoyed. - a An interesting feature ofthe. party was a Valentine Box which contained messages for everyone. Dainty lunch was served which con- sisted ofi brick ice cream, tea, cakes and punch. After lunch every-one de- parted forfhome, 'each expressing that they had spent a very enjoyable even- ing. e , Q ' Exchanges We are listing a review of all the exchangs we have received during, the past year. And hope we will find them on our reading table, the following year. To us, from .Red Willow, Nebr. comes the Willow Messenger, which carries many interesting messages.

It has been said at this time of the year those who are about to venture forth into-the world for themselves have the power to open the door of the future and .foretell their fate. Taking advantage of this privilege we see ourselves somewhere between 1924-1950. We find ourselves listening to the conversaiton of an elderly gentleman -and a middle aged lady. The gentle- rnan is now speaking, let us listen! During the first month of my cam- paign while looking over my mail one morning I-was attracted by ar large foreign looking envelope post marked Cairo, which may interest you. 'I'1l now read it. ' ' My Dear Mr. Reeves. Am watch- ing you rise in the political iworld with much interest and sirce-rely hope you will be our next President. How time flies! The last time I saw you was commencement night 1924 when our class of four gi rls grad- uated. Do you ever hear anything of them? ' ' No doubt you are surprised at this post mark. The fall -after leaving school I gave up my position at Ceres- co and taught school in the sand hills, where I remained for 6 years. During the summer of '30 I entered a nation wide music contest at Oconee. 'As I had not paacticed since leaving school I .was very surprised. when I was awarded 2nd prize. The 'V mayor of Oconee, Mr. F. H. T. Thompson con- fered the honor upon me and when I looked into his eyes I knew I had met my fate. We we-re married six weeks later in the hotel parlor at Oconee. 'But our happiness was of short duration, for my poor Fred died a few months later from the edects of eat- ing too much sour kraut. I was al- most prostrate from grief 'till I again took up my music. After studying 3 years in various cities I made my debut in Genoa, Ne- braska, and later toured the world. I' received my greatest Welcome in the Sahara Desert and so here I am. now crossing the desert for the time. It seems -I am received more enthusiasm. will close- now at. I have a con- cert at 6 o'clock this morning. Your Eriend and Pupil, . Henrietta Kelly Thompson' H6 I am 16th with HI I thought' no more about it until my coast to coast campaign when we were forced to land 'between Omaha and Denver. Imagine my surprise when I found our temporary destina- tion to be,Columbus, Neb.r. As it was early in the day I hired a plane and went to Monroe. But instead of the small country town I. had left in its place was a busy metropolis. Later I learned that its .remarkable growth was due tohthe discovery of coal in large quantities some 5 years before, and that most of the farmer inhabit- ants had sold their land at a high fig- ure and now lived'in the fashionable avenues. ' I walked the streets for several hours meeting, time- and again a little ol.d man whose face seemed strangely familiar and finally he spoke. Ile was one of my former friends and we fell to talking over old times as friends 'win dp. I r He said that one of my old pupils Edna Terry, now, Mrs. Ed. Schmidt was living in the fashionable district. It seems her husband had made- quite a bit of money on. some land when coal was discovered. 'Later I called on Edna and this is her story. H 6 The fall after graduating Iuenter- ed'University where I studied kinder- garten work for two, years, but the lure of the stage was too great so I took up toe dancing. I -studied in -Kansas, Oklahoma and Sweeden for nearly ten months and was ready to make my debut in Sweeden when. I re- ceived a telegram from my fiancee' Ed Schmidt stating that he was cem- ing to Sweeden. Afte.r much argu- ment he succeeded in convincing me that I needed some one to protect me in that strange country so we were married. But the lure of the foot- lights was too great to resist so we toured Europe for several years where I was well received among my natives of every country. This soon grew tiresome and as business afairs were beginning to de- mand my husk and's attention in Ameri ca we returned to our native land. 'Upon our return I was made sev- eral dcsirable offers to cont'nue my 'dancii g, which I refused because ho re duties seemed to demand my latten- tion. We bought ai home 'on 5tv Ahe- nue and here we have been living ever since. Much of my time is taken up in the training of my little' daughter who promises to follow in myfoot- steps as a dancer. I You have certainly been inte-rest- ingly posted upon the important events in the lives of two of my class- mates. I am fortunate enough to be able to-supply the missing links inthe rest of our class history. Several days ago I cut out of the Evening Star this clipping. The headlines read: ' Famous 'Surgeon Dr.' Asbestos re- turns to -America after honeymoon in Europe. b I I But the surprise is in the article, it reads. ' t I Dr. Asbestos and his wife hail from the middle west. Mrs. Asbestos was formerly Miss Esther Egan of Class of '24 of Monroe, Nebr., she is a trained nurse and before her marriage was president of United Society for the Rrotection of Blind Mice. It was dur- ing her 'reign as head nurse of the Brooklyn hospital that she met Dr. Asbestos. Their marriage took place last October in the underground rail- way station of Brooklyn. The happy couple sailed immediately after .the ceremozy for Eurcpe where theyspent nine months in touring the Orient, stopping at the oldtomb of King Tut for a day. Here Dr. Asbestos made some researchrwork. He is trying to find a cure for the disease that seems to effect all tomb openers, he thinks he has discovered the .remedy but will not make the 'announcement of itun- til next month. ' Mr. 'and Mrs. Asbest- ospintend to make their future home in New York, where both will, take up their .former postitions until the com- pletion of their new hospital. 1 The fund' for this has been already started. It is to be at home for stray dogs and cats, where they willfbe fed. until they attain 'of certain weights and then they will go to the Dr.'s experi- ment room. The Dr. is really making this hospital an experiment station for his new medicine and his first as- sistant is his Wife Esther. The many friends of the young cduple wish them well, and the editors of this paper al- so wish them much happiness. You asked me about my past, Well the next year after I left High school I .attended Lincoln, Unive-rsity. I took a course in DomesticfScience and became an expert cook. I was un- able to find a school with suitable equipment. It was along about this time that I suddenly discovered my heart's dormant vampins POWGIFS Were exceedingly good and because I had always heard th-at the quickest Way to a man's heart is through. his stomach. I decided to purchasea res- taurant in' London where I could demonstrate my ability as a cook and in less than a mo-nth I was in Landon in my cool white: kitchen of My Helen's Home Restaurant.
