Senior Class Will We, the class of ’34, realizing that our days in Mt. Vernon High School are numbered, have decided as the sad hour of parting draws nearer, to will and be- queath to our faithful and honored Faculty and underclassmen, the things which we hold most dear. I, Marjorie Alldredge, will to Wilbur Leon Rust, a map of the school and I sincerely hope that after this, Wilbur will not become lost when wandering through the halls. I, Noah Alldredge, will to John Ramsey Walter, a book entitled, “‘How to Croon.”’ I, Mary Lucile Allen, will to Isaiah Duckworth, a book containing all the facts of and details of U. S. History so that he will not have to make so many unneces- sary trips down to Home Room 31 to secure one. I, Hilton Ashworth, will to James Saltzman, a motorcycle so that he may have it in case his Ford plays out. I, James Blake, will to my little brother Tom, a weight to put on his head so that the school doors will not have to be remodeled to accommodate him. I, Marjorie Ann Casper, will to Phyllis Rowe, a book on ‘‘How to Get Into Jimmie Willis’s can before the Other Girls Do,” written by the well known authors, Mora Aldrich and Lucille Kennedy. I, Harlan Cobb, will to Mr. Gunn this box of gum, and to his manager, Fred Blackburn, this roll of bills so that he may keep Mr. Gunn’s gum supply replen- ished. I, Dora Collier, will to Sylvia Hix, a newspaper so that she may look over the top and make eyes at her boy friends during the seventh period. I, Kenneth Duckworth, will to Evalena Dieterle, a box of Magic Bird Seed so that she can sing to Charles Ditzer next year in Mr. Blake’s home room. I, George Dunn, will to John Ramsey Walter, a book entitled ‘“How to Make Love to the Girls without Running them Crazy.’’ I, Paul Eegli, will to Mr. Pence, one box of menthol-cooled cough drops, which I sincerely hope will ease his throat of all the firey remarks made by him in Room 30 about the monitors. I, Barbara Fessenden, will to Katharine Carman, and Geneva Curry, mirrors, so that the monitors next year won’t have such a hard time keeping them out of the lavatory. I, Elvis Gentil, will to Miss Dirks and her home room, a box of prunes. These are to be distributed among the students of the home room and [ request that Paul Holder gets one. I, Thomas Clifford Jones, will to Wilbur Leon Rust, a pair of knee pants so that he may continue going to the picture show for 10c a while longer. I, Selma Juncker, will to Ruth McFadin, a joke book so that Ruth may laugh instead of giggling. I, Winston Kiehl, will to Mr. Pence, another skull to take the place of Hezi- kiah (his old skull) since he said he would graduate the said Hezikiah if a Senior Class worthy enough to place him was found. We think he will never have another chance to graduate Hezikiah. I, Charles Lasater, will to Miss Kathryn Louise Schneider and Miss Mary Ann Thomas, basketball players, so that in 1935, they will have some players like the ones of the great Senior Class of 1934 and they won’t have to be so loyal to a punk team such as the one of the Sophomores of 1934. I, Stella Lewis, will to Rose Nell Collier, a beauty book so that she will have no trouble in using her make-up. I, Roberta Lichtenberger, will to James Saltzman, a tie of the latest style so that he will have one to wear to school. I, John MeDurmon, will to Mr. Deckard, a book entitled ‘““How to Fix the Clock in the Library.’’ I, William Mitchell, will to Jack Yaggi, a moustache, so that he will not have Seventeen

I, William Moll, will to Wesley Waterhouse, a bed, so that he can sleep lying down in school, rather than sitting up.

I, Beauford Reeves, will to Morton Stephens, a pencil and some paper, so that he will not have to borrow from everybody next year.

I, Mellage Stephan, will to James Saltzman, a book entitled, ‘Piloting Air- planes’, because he always looks out the window when airplanes pass over. I, Allyn Tennison, will to Mr. Pence, my first and only book entitled ‘‘Attitude Toward Seniors’’ so that he may be a little more cheerful toward next year’s senior class.

This code will help him in bec oming a quiet Junior. I, Numa N. Williams, will to the one and only A. G. White, better known as Don Jose, my next to the best pipe, in view of the fact that he will be without me next year and I must keep him from getting lonesome.
