M THE 1936 ROSENNIAL 1 9 3 6 s ' A i 0 kP CHAMPIONSHIP EDITION OF THE YEARBOOK OF NEWCASTLE, INDIANA HIGH SCHOOL ROSENNIAL FOREWORD   SfEJ s HigK scKooI days have passed before us in sucK a bewildering parade of events tfiat we shall find it difficult to remember them in detail. V e wish, however, to be able to remem- ber in succeeding years the most thrilling, the most beautiful, and the most important times of our four years spent in school here. So within the pages of this small book we have tucked away precious bits of our life here: pictures and stories of the gaiety, the gallantry, and the learning which has been ours. We have strix ' ed to make this a book which will interest all of our friends; a book which they can hug to their hearts in poignant remembrance.

Editor-in-chief MARTHA JANE MILLIKAN, Business Manager MISS LILLIAN E. CHAMBERS. Faculty Adviser When the senior class had voted to publish an annual and the staff was organized, work was begun. To express the originality of their thoughts and the progress of their school, the staff has endeavored to present a very different type ol book. So they have combined some new, daring ideas with the unchanging ideals of former years, and this is the result. They hope that the readers will appreciate the Rosennial at least half as much as the staff enjoyed publishing it. t a of 1 p 3.6 First roic, left to right: Ruth Barnard.

In the first we present the administration, the faculty, the seniors, the underclassmen, and the organiza- tions, of which e are so proud. Within the second section we enclose the sports of the school. We wish to inscribe with- er in the book the names, faces, and deeds of our gallant Trojans, whose courage and high ideals are like a shining light in a sometimes grim world. • ' s The 1 9 3 6 SCHOOL BOARD CLAUDE STANLEY. Presidmt A man of wide interests and keen pre- ception, Mr. Stanley has given generously of nis time and talents to directing affairs of the school. H RRY BURRIS. Secretary In his second year of service. Mr. Burns has fulfilled the promise of his first — that of being an able and efficient member of the board. RAY DAMS, Treasurer Oldest on the board in point of service, Mr. Davis continues to serve ' ith s -mpatay and understanding. Poge Ten R o s e n n I d. I MR. E. J. LLEWELYN. Superintendent It is indeed an unusual tiling to find at the Kead ol a school system a man with as rare and good talents as Mr. LleweK ' n. He possesses not only the ability to execute affairs directh ' and with success, but also the knack of making and keeping friends. He is interested in every phase of school life, and, with his boundless enthusiasm, he aids all activities. W ' ith all his achievements is combined a humility of person which gives him a rare touch — that of true greatness. Paqc Eicve The 1936 MR. X ' ALENTINE Principal Dealing, as Ke does, directly witK the students, Mr. Valentine must be possessed or a vast amount of patience and wisdom. These qualities are his, and they make him a man both respected and admired by all who know him. THE DEANS Upon these four teachers falls the great responsibility of influencing student behavior. These Deans deal with their complex relations with youth in a fine and understanding manner. Miss Lilhan E.

Page Twciity-thrce T h e 1936 CLASS HISTORY On a warm September day in the fall oF nineteen hundred and thirty- two, two hundred and sixty-eight bewildered Freshman or the proverDially green variety prepared to enter the welcoming doors of our Senior High School. All were, a little fearful of the ordeals that were to come. Tales of the things done to Freshies had spread far and wide among us. Although we did not believe all of these tales, we were still a little dubious of what awaited us. Some of the bolder students attempted to cover their temerity with an air of braggodocio, while others with less fortitude plainly showed by the expres- sions on their faces that they were Freshmen. After entering the portals of our far-famed high school, we located our session rooms, where next came that puzzle even more intricate than a jig- saw puzzle, namely; the arranging of our programs. By the end of the week, after the wild rush of the first few days was over, some of our greenness had faded and we began to feel more at ease. However, the liberties and privileges which we had and which were so different from those of junior high school still seemed strange to us. The following year, only two hundred and twenty-nine of our band of students who had embarked so fearfully on our high school voyage the year before had survived our seasickness. Now with that wisdom born of experi- ence, we marched along with confidence and looked down upon the incoming class of Freshies. With the strangeness of the first year gone, we earnestly began to make a name for ourselves among our fellow students. Many of us felt that in athletics such as basketball, football, track, and baseball lay the chance for us to show our abilities. Others of us not so well suited for such activities took part in the development of the Hi-Y, Orchestra. Glee Club, Science Society, etc. The record of our Sophomore year, taken as a whole, was something to be proud of. We felt that we were a full-nedged part of high school lire. The carefree days of the following summer quickly came and went. Now there were only two hundred and ten of us who enrolled as upperclass- men — Juniors. Our regular school routine was somewhat changed by a system of student hall patrol which was instituted by the National Honor Society. Pogt Tweniy-jour KosennidiL CLASS HISTORY The most important activity or our Junior year was the annual Junior Prom which we gave in honor of the Seniors. What fun we all had! Who can forget the thrill of anticipation as we made preparations for this event, or the roars of laughter that went up over the crazy stunts we Juniors staged? These happy days of our Junior year drew to a close all too swiftly. Soon it was commencement time for the class above us. How far away such an event seemed in our livesl Another summer passed rapidly, and at last we, too, stood on the thres- hold of our Senior year. How hard it was to realize that soon our happy high school da -s would be o ' er! W e knew we were looked up to by the other students as having reached an enviable position, yet we did not reel that such was true. ' ' ith the arrival of the first Senior meeting, we were organized as a class and suddenly realized the nearness of the termination of our high school days. This is the largest class in the history of this high school. An exceptionally efficient group of class officers were chosen: James Pickering, president; Junior an Zant, vice-president: Helen Hudson, secretary, and Charles Graves, treasurer. The class colors were purple and orchid; the class motto. Take Life as you find it, but don t leave it so ; the class flower, the Premier Rose. The class play was given under the capable direction of Miss Pinnick, and as were all the plays which she directed, it was a huge success. Miss Chambers and her efficient staff edited another of the excellent Rosennials for which our high school is so well-noted. This is a brief record of our high school days. Though we realize that this history is not perfect, we believe it is one to be proud of. May you under- classmen, too, who will soon graduate, leave a record as good or better.

Our books and teachers furnished our nourishment and after liaving been pushed around and trampled on by these upper-classmen, we finally got our start. We were tender and green like all young shoots, but are now on our, way to the stage or Sophomores. We still have two stages to go until we reach our aim, to be a full-opened flower, or Senior. Success Irom the start was the label on our package, and we hope it will continue, not only for the Freshman year, but also for all the years to follow. JHANE GLANCY. SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY Listen, my children, and you shall hear Of our worthy class in its second year. First we were I ' reshmen, shy and obscure. Pla ying and working, but not very sure. Now we are Sophomores, self-styled know-it-alls. Accepting our good luck, and taking our falls. Learning our lessons and doing our best. Some were found wanting, but most passed the lest. The lowly Sophomore the Senior will be; Wait! upper classmen, the prool you will see. Then, high school behind us, we 11 challenge our fate 1 he Sophomore class. Seniors 38. M. RL X BOW Lk. JUNIOR CLASS HISJ ' ORY In recollecting past events, one that is prominent in reverie is that day we entered high school. We recall the numerous teasings we tolerated while endeavoring to secure a foothold in the vast and, at the same time, appalling final stretch of our school life. Passing on to our Sophomore ) ' ear, we realize we have gained not only a foothold, but also some distinction. We are now at the close of our Junior year, and hope that we have not belittled but rather enhanced our scholastic and social reputation. But, the best is yet to come. e are anticipating real attainment in our Senior Year. MARY CLIFT. Pfiye Thirly-iioo R o s e n n I di I NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY T he object of the National Honor Society, as the constitution reads, is lo create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote worthy leadership, and to encourage the development o( character. The members therefore are chosen on the basis or scholarship, character, leadership, and service. In a desire to be of service, the Newcastle chapter, both this year and last, has managed the system of Hall Patrols. It has also rendered other services which were not so obvious. STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council was established as a student representative body of Newcastle High School in 1925. Under the helpful guidance of the faculty adviser. Mr. W ' illiain E. lIoucs. the Council has introduced many commendable projects. A lew of the duties of the Student Council are: to act as a medium between the students and the facult ' . to promote projects that will lead toward impro emcnl ol the school, and to arouse a wholesome high school spirit. Page Thirty-three 19 3 6 SCIENCE SOCIETY One of tne most interesting and educational clubs in tKe scKooI is tKe Science Society, whose purpose is to create, stimulate, and maintain interest iri ' science. ' ' The society, organized in 1926 by the students of the Science Depart- ment, is indeed fortunate in having as sponsors Mr. Hodson and Mr. Bronson. The club meets on alternate Tuesdays, presenting an instructive pro- gram of experiments and a spealcer. LEATHER LUNGS An organization which has long played an active part in our high school program has been the Leather Lungs. The formation of this organization in 1926 created mucli interest among ihe students, and has continued to do so up to the present time. Its established purpose is to boost the Trojans, and it has done this very successful under the leadership of Mr. Leslie and Mr. Fessler. ' age Thirty-jour R o s e n n I di I BOOSTER CLUB 2088645 This organization is composed of one hundred and lorty girls, who make it their duty to boost and inspire the basketball team. The green and white cards, the green megaphones, along with the white shirts, form a very colorful section. Tne Booster Club has prospered through the untiring efforts of the sponsors, Miss Gertrude ' ivian and Miss Martha Miller, to whom the credit for this club should be given. Betty Felt and Jim Richey lead the group in their regular routine. Page Thirty-five Th e 1936 rage HI-Y CLUB The Newcastle Senior Hi-Y Club was organized in 1928. Any boy who is 01 good moral character, and a member or one of the tnree upper classes is eligible to join the club. The local club is very diversified in its activities. The members ushered lor the Civic Series, sold candy, hot-dogs, and pop at football games, worked in the concession at the sectional tournament, and sponsored a football dance. Tne sponsors are Mr. Warren Smith and Mr. William E. Jones. TRl-Hl CLUB The Tri-Hi Club was organized in the school year of 1955-1954 by a group of aspiring girls and from a somewnat insignificant start bas grown into a thriving organization. The purpose of this club is to develop each mem- ber physically, mentally, and spiritually. The membership is limited and members must be at least Sophomore As. Initiation is held the first semester of each year. ' Miss Gertrude ' ' ivian and Miss Martha Miller are the highschool spon- sors and Miss Marjorie Lamb is sponsor from the Y. M. C. A. Thiriy-six « o s e n n I di I i-iRST semi:stl-:r phoenix staff Having completed tKeir preparatory course, eighteen students reported to Journalism 32 class to begin their task of publishing the school newspaper. Mary Davis was appointed editor-in-chief, and Ruth Barnard was ap- pointed business manager. The rest of the staff aided ihem in publishing four- teen examples of student journalism. Notable among these issues were the six-page papers, and the special Christmas issue, printed in green ink. SECOND SEMESTER PHOENIX STAFF The Second Semester Staff of the 1936 Phoenix feels that they owe what success they have attained this semester to the splendid cooperation of both student body and faculty. The subscription list of this semester is around 400 and the circulation, which exceeds thai of previous years, numbers 700. 1 his Phoenix Staff with Rebecca Woods and llillie Morris al the helm in the editorial staff and with Marie Sharp as business manager, has done its best to sustain the traditions and ideals that have been set up lor them in the past.

GLEE CLUB Just listen to that warbling! It s only the Glee Club, and they certainly seem a happy bunch. They especially enjoyed the Spring Musical Festival in Muncie. Miss Dorsey, their leader, has developed these girls into a splendid singing ensemble. Pugis rhirty-eighl R o s e n n I di I CLASS PLAY Pa 5y Strings Along, a comedy-drama in three acts by Len D. Hollis- ter. This clever and modern pla - was released for production in 1935. Patsy Health, a talented actress, makes a visit to Lakeland Academy and finds her Alma Mater declining in popularity and enrollment. She be- comes the head of the Boys School lor a period ol thirt - da s and reorganizes the institution completely.

Baker and his assistant, Donel Smith. a strong rootball team was developed which brought to New- castle the first major North Central Conference Championship. Out of the eight games played the Trojans won six, piling up one hundred fifteen points against sixty-three by their opponents. The game with Muncie was by far the most exciting game of the season being the first Trojan victory over the Bearcats in five years and assuring Newcastle the championship. The opening game of the season with Anderson was also very exciting although the Trojans were not assured of victory until the closing minutes of play when they unlashed a passing attack which the Indians could not stop. Two weeks before school started coach Baker made a call for candidates and daily practices were held at the athletic field which helped to develop the team. Coach Baker should have a fine team next year built around such ex- perienced men as Becker, Lockhart, Heckman, Douthart, and Potter. Ptiye Forty-jo o s e n n I di I SCHEDULE Two weeks or intensive drill at the athletic hela formed the bacKground for the 1955 football season. Se ent -two boys answered Mr. Bakers lirst call and out of these he started to develop his football team. A 19 to 7 victory over Anderson, one of our strongest rivals, was our initiaf campaign. 1 his game was not won until the final quarter when New- castle scored a touchdown on an intercepted pass. Plainfield was the next victim by a 51 to score, and this game provided little difficulty for the Tro- jans. A journey to Richmond for the first out of town game provided a hard game, but the Trojans won, 6 to 2. The highly-rated Rushville team was the next victim of the Trudgin Trojans by a 21 to 7 score, for the lourth straight victory. As hosts to the Noblesville team, the Trojans tasted the first defeat. The score was 20 to 6. Determined to get revenge, the Trojans plax ed what proved to be the easiest game on the schedule, and won over the Connersville Spartans by a score of 20 to 6. Next the Trojans were guests of their old rivals, the Muncie Bearcats, This was the hardest game lor the Trojans. They emerged from the hard-fought game with a 6 to score in their favor. This game was the climax of the season. It also won the Trojans the North Central Conference titie. Kolcomo was the Trojans next guest and they de- feated Newcastle by a score of 21 to 7. 1955 was the first year that the Newcastle High School had night football. It proved to be ' very successful and more interesting to the fans. This also was the best year that the Trojans have enjoyed in the last five years. It is the first time that Newcastle has won a North Central Con- ference title in the ten years that it has been a member. Much credit should go to Coach Baker for his fine work. Pope Foriy-five , e i p 3 6 It is to the splendid ability of Coach Wilbur Allen that Newcastle High School owes its success in basketball the past year. The playing on the baslcetball floor has displayed the tactics of efficient coaching, but more than that, it has displayed teams with a high morale in sportsmanship. Marvin Huffman: Duke is captain of the ball club this year; its leading scorer; one of the most outstanding players in the state and selected on many mythical teams. His will be a great loss to Strings ne. t year. Warren Thomas: One of our forwards who was third high scorer of the team. Swede was a ball-hawk and one of the best defensive men in the state. He will be missed next year. Gilbert Huffman: ' Gib, ' brother of Marvin, the second highest scorer on the team. Next year he will be the main cog in Coach Allen s machine. Philip Dakins: Our floor guard. Til was slow in developing this year but should be among the best next year. He is a junior. Max Van Hoose: The team s backguard. Max, was a good defensive man and took rebounds well. He is a senior. Page Forty-six R o s e n n I a. I Donel Smith, our new assistant football and baslcetball coacn, came to us from Buffalo. Indiana. He is a graduate of Martinsville High School and Danville Normal College. He played on one of Martinsville s State Champion- ship squads. Mr. Smith has already proved to be a very capable assistant to Mr. Baker and Mr. Allen. His work in this, his first year, has been very outstanding and we predict a great luture lor Smitty. Robert W ' ildman: I he sixth man ol the squad. Bob worked hard this year and should be one of the first five next year. Ivan Cable: Cabe, although a substitute, was a very valuable man. He will be missed very much. James Downey: He didn t see much action this year but made a good showing. Only a sophomore, he will make a good center for Allen. Kenneth Heckman: A newcomer to the varsity has plenty of scrap to spare. He will make someone work hard for a place on the team next year. Cecil Lockhart: Although he did not see much action this year, he wa . always in there working hard. Page Yorly-scven 19 3 6 BASKETBALL Under the leaaersnip of Coach Allen ana his assistant, Mr. Smith, the Newcastle Trojans enjoyed one or the most successful seasons in the entire history of the school. With only two regulars from the 1934-55 combination. Coach Allen built a strong team which opened its season with successive victories over Greenfield. Central (Ft. Wayne), Connersville, Muncie, Ander- so n, Tech. (Indianapolis) Richmond, Hartford City, Martinsville, and Logans- port, before falling victim to Muncie in the finals of the New Year s Day tourney. The Trojans contiriued through the remainder of their season with wins over Jeff. (Lafayette), Rushville, Noblesville, Marion, Muncie, and Connersville. After a successful season, the 1 rojans entered into the final elimination tourney to decide on a state champion. They won their own sectional with topheavy victories over Kennard, Cadiz, and Lewisville. The following week they journeyed to Muncie for the regional. After disposing of Winchester in the afternoon game, the Trojans entered the finals and after a hard-fought game won from a plucky Greensfork team 55 to 20. Again returning to Muncie on March 2 1 , the Trojans met Warsaw in the afternoon game and emerged victorious only after the hardest kind of a battle. That evening the Trojans fell, victims of Central (Ft. Waynes) Fi ghting Tigers 24 to IS, thus ending their 1935-56 campaign with twenty-two wins and seven losses. Losing only four men, M. Huffman, Thomas, Van Hoose, and Cable by graduation. Coaches Allen and Smith should have a strong contender for state honors next year built around G, Huffman, Dakins, Wildman, Downey and Lockhart. Paga Forty-eight K o s e n n i di L THE SECOND TEAM The Trojan Colts, under the capable leadership or Coach Donel Smith, enjoyed a very successful season with twelve wins and five losses to their credit. The entire squad was composed or underclassmen who will be valu- able to the varsity next year, 1 he team was composed or the following boys: Ernest Tidrow, Bill Taylor. Robert Modlin, Robert Fletcher, Maurice John- son, Max Harrell, Donald Mastin, Alva Murray, and Sammy Owens. The Colt schedule included the following games. Greenfield Fort Wayne Connersville Muncie Anderson Tech. Richmond 18 Colts 38 25 Colts 26 51 Colts 24 21 Colts 51 23 Colts 17 18 Colts 19 22 Colts 24 Hartford Citv 17 Colts 21 Rushville Noblesville larion Muncie Anderson Connersville 26 Colts 51 16 Colts 58 27 Colts 19 25 Colts 28 26 Colts 50 50 Colts 29 M anon 25 Colts 21 In the second team lournnmenl al Anderson on Januar - 4. the Colts defeated Richmond 44-29 in their first game and then deleated Anderson in an over-time final 26-25. Page Forty-nine 10 3 6 Fred Goar, our track coach, proved his ability in that field of sport last year. After a lapse of a few years in track, Fred placed an inexperienced but very strong team on the cinder paths. He has a few lettermen around which to build this year s squad and we wish him great success. TRACK Under the leadership of Coach Fred Goar and his assistant, Edgar Wise, the strongest track team in the history of the school was developed. At the beginning of the season the largest number of boys reported for practice in the history of the school. Dale Sweigart and Albert Becker were elected co-captains. The Henry County Relay was the first important meet to be held ' . Newcastle won the meet, both relays and the baseball throw. In this meet, John Mukes set a new record in the high jump by clearing the bar at 5 ft. 8 inches. A new record was also set by Becker in the baseball throw with a throw of three hundred and eleven feet. In all other events the team made a very respectable showing. At the district meet all of the team was eliminated except Allen Nichols who qualified for the state meet when he put the shot forty-two feet. With only three seniors on the squad Dale Sweigart, Allen Nichols, and and John Mukes, Coach Goar should have a very strong team next year built around Elwood Harmon. Wallace Turner, Roy Ruddell, Edwin Atkinson, Cecil Lockhart. Richard Kessler, Kenneth Wilkinson, Oren Meeks, Kenneth Corum, Clyde Koger, Harry McCormack, J homas Douthart, Cecil Lovelace, Eugene McSherry, Eugene Stearnes, Fred Sears, Raymond Morgan, Arnold Cowan, Meredith Boatright, Eldon Harding, and Charles Jones. Page t ' iiiy R o s e n n I di I 4= BASEBALL Baseball has been resumed in Newcastle Higb School alter a long period of years. Under the leadership of Coach Wilbur Allen, the team enjoyed a verv successful season, including victories over Muncie and Ander- son. Coach Allen issued a general call for baseball talent immediately following the close of the basketball season, and a total of one hundred boys reported for practice. After two successive cuts. Coach Allen announced his official roster of those who remained together during the entire season. They were as follows: Wiles and Maze, pitchers: Sweigart. Potter, and Hornaday. catchers: M. Huffman and Wallen, first base: Bland and Vannatta, second base: Smith and Dakins. short stops: G. ' an Hoose. third base: and outfield- ers. Thomas. M. ' an f oose, Camiichael. Wallen, G. Huffman, and Means. Bill Barnard was chosen as team manager. During the season the team journeyed to Muncie where they participated in the Big Ten Toume - in which the ' were defeated b ' Jefferson of Lafa -ette in their second game of the day. Richmond defeated Jefferson for the cham- pionship. At the conclusion of the season John Wiles was elected captain by the ' members of the team. Newcastle is expecting a great season in 1956 since most of Coach Allen ' s material returns for duty. Vage Fifty-one 1 p 3 6 THE PRESIDENT SPEAKS Friends and Fellow Classmates: Tne largest graduating class in the history of our Kigli scKool is now closing its school year. It has been one tKat was filled witK many activities and one tKat we sKall all remember. We look forward to tlie oncoming years witli a feeling of confidence and tne determination triat we will do our utmost to succeed. But looking Lack over tne twelve scnool years that we nave completed, we find that there have teen many sacrifices in order that we might become seniors. The tax- payers have given their financial support. Our teachers have given their untiring efforts in guiding us forward into better things. And, last but not least, our parents have given their time and money, in order that we could have an education. We are, indeed, deeply indebted to those who have made our education possible. Education may be thought of as a soul-enriching process that begins with the cradle and ends only at the grave. We must therefore strive to further our public education if we are to have a nation that will produce a strong civilization. Statistics show that the communities which support their schools most liberally p.re the ones that are most intelligent and progressive. Thus we see that the school is a public insti- tution which is fostered by the community, for the community, not for the pupil. Education then has as its duty the business of fostering the altruistic impulses that are natural in youth. Education thus opens an avenue for the exercise of these impulses and ideals. It is such opportunities that make us students indebted to you for your efforts toward our education. Of course, one of the chief aims of education is scholarship, but this is not the most important. If our nation is to be great, we must have good citizens. Citizenship is not something to come in the years ahead, but something to be learned by living it in school. This purpose is sometimes capably served by school organizations, and they do much to round out our school curriculum. One such organization in our school is the National Honor Society, the purpose of which is to foster not only scholarship but also leadership, character, and ser ' ice. The great enemies of the Republic are ignorance, vice, selfishness, bigotrj ' , dis- loyalty, and disregard for law; its chief friends are intelligence, efficiency, morality, and patriotic devotion. As an agency to eradicate the former and guarantee the latter, the American high school occupies a most conspicuous place among our free institutions; that place is secure as long as it clings to its ideals of industry, service, efficiency, morality, patriotism, and law. Class of 36, we have a very bright future, and may we continue to follow our motto and Take Life as we find it, but not leave it so. JAMES PICKERING Pofje Fijiy-two a I ' o s e n n I di L - o CLASS WILL We, the class of nineteen hundred and tKirty-six, being about to leave this sphere, in full possession of a sound mind, memory, and understanding, do malce and publish this, our last will and testament, hereby revoking and making void all other former wills by us at any time heretofore made. As to such estates it has pleased the Fates and our merits to give us, we do dispose of the same as follows viz: Jack Heck, Elwood Harmon, Charles Lyman will to Paul Baker one grocery apron. The boys have hopes that someday Baker will finish school and earn.- on for dear old A. P. Maty Jo Crawford does hereby will and bequeath her below the Ohio River accent to Mable Danley. Mary Jo says. Ah hope that Mable cahries on with LeQue en the sem spirit thet Ah hev. Lucile Long, Eulah Mae Hornaday. and Shirley Conway will and bequeath to Betty May Felt one can of spinach. The girls say that it will be hard to take but they add. Look at us. Dick Laster wills to Bud Ingram one book, entitled Tall Stories and How to 1 ell Them Enectively. Dick hopes this book will be an aid to Bud in securing the much-needed improvement. W ' ilma Bentley, Rebecca Woods. Alphonsine La Mar will to Marjorie Wilkin- son, Helen Mahoney, and Marcella Wiley the ability to make themselves appealing to Richmond boys. Charles Fluftman, Joe Wallace, Harold Wells, will and bequeath to Miss Florence Noyer, Mr. Horace Burr, Jr., for safe-keeping during the remaining years of his self-sacrifice to the finer arts. Eileen Sheldon, Francis Scarlett, irginia Sutton do hereby will and bequeath to Mr. John Baughman one mirror so that Johnny may get closer to his razor. James Pickering, Roy Ruddell, Claude Van Zant, Jr. will to Bill Barnard a new hat and one pamphlet on What the Well-Dressed Man Will Wear Next Season. The boys sincerely hope that Bill will make use of the pamphlet. Ruth Barnard, Bettie Jane Brangan, hldred Gillock, Billie Morris do will and bequeath their scintillating giggles to John Kessel in hope that John will keep the spirit of optimism running high. Lois Ellen Land, Dorothy Copeland, Floral Imel, Lois Frampton, X ' iolet Cald- well, Edith Burns, Mary Pickett hereby will and bequeath to Miss Dorsey one tuning fork, so she will not have so much discord among her oncoming grand opera singers as she has had with those of the past. Roscoe Matney, Oren Meeks, William Jeffries, Harley Means will to Mr. T. M. Van Hook one box of bunion pads.
