'N SENIOR CLASS WILL We, the Senior class of 1925, do hereby make this last will and testament, bequeathing all our belongings, both per- sonal and otherwise to those whom we believe need them most. To our Alma Mater, we leave our heartfelt gratitude and appreciation for the knowledge we have gained through our association with her. And continuing, Without the agglomeration of superflu- ous formalities, we herewith bequeath personally the follow- mg: Our honorable class president, John Kugland, wills to Frank Martin that remarkable immunity from the attrac- tions of the opposite sex. We feel sure that Frank needs that extra fortification. Vincent Washburn bequeaths to Bill Klodt his extraor- dinary proclivity for unnecessary labor, where the labor is unnecessary. And Armin Cornelison wishes to leave to Mr. Kerney, his overflowing store of excessively dry humor and imper- turbability. Mr. Kerney then cannot be excelled along that line. Marvin Shank, of course, wishes to bestow upon Mr. Haney his Sheiking abilities and a tin rattle to go with them. Theodore Howell in his search through his personal stock could find only a mirror to will to Glenn Bettis and in order to preserve the mirror, wills with it, ten percent of his handsomeness. Certainly, certainly-Garvice Roby leaves to Lucile Roberts his practical application of seen but not heard. Scott Kipping, after due consideration, concluded that he would be truly benevolent and will to Pearl Dewey one- half of his unimpaired voice. A Then comes Fred Martin with the astounding request that his surplus supply of brains 'be left to the command of Susan Horton. ' Please buy a new hat, Sue. And even Reasaer Fisher comes along with his argu- mentativeness which he wishes upon Junior Thompson. Now will you leave me alone ? fQQlltiI!U9d on Page fifty-elghtl Page twenty

HISTORY OF THE SENIORS OF '25 We began our Freshman year with the following enroll- ment: Clair Allen Howard Allen Mary Aimonetto Leo Aimonetto Iris Ackley Holmes Beach Floyd Barbour Reva Curry Margaret Cowger Edith Carr Ruth Musser Garvice Roby Gladys Shick Caroline Taylor Floyd West Mildred Elliott Gaylord Guenin Katharine Howell Ethlyn Kirby . Scott Kipping John Kugland Fred Martin Junior Miller Bryan Mundell Vincent Washburn Albert Hereford Charles Hereford Cornelius Gibbs Our Freshman year was probably exactly like that of every other class. By that we mean that there was the usual excitement and novelty of being pupils in High School. Looking back, we will admit that we were prob- ably of a decidedly vegetable color-green. We were initi- ated at a wienie roast, held for our special benefit by t'-A Sophomores, at Soap Springs, in Cambria Canyon. All of us can vouch that the initiation was carried out correctly and true to form. The Freshies, although a large class themselves, received a wonderful threshing. In the latter part of September 1922 we, as Sopho- mores, initiated the Freshman at a party for this occasion held in the old high school building on the hill. During this year the new school which had been in progress since spring was completed and the high school was transferred to it. The Sophomore year ended without mishap and we were now in readiness to begin our Junior year in N. H. S. When we became Juniors we became, by custom, the enemies of the Seniors and many were the fights at school, at parties, and in the streets. In a short time we had gotten pins, skull caps, and even felt banners. all of which go to show that we were reasonably lively.

SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY 1925 As I sit in my easiest chair before the immense Colonial fire-place in my den, surrounded by many books, queer speci- mens, and other phenomena of nature, I, as mcst extraordi- nary clairvoyant and dabbler in the supernatural am trying a new plan as I try to fathom what my crystal medium would impart to me concerning the future. Rather than reading the crystal ball itself, I have faced about in such a manner so as to watch the reflection of the fire in my medium in order to prophesy the future. As I gaze at the reflections of the dancing tongues of flames, the following picture reveals itself to me. I see Brahma in his double role. appearing as Vishnu, the preserver, and as Siva, the destroyer. The countenance of Vishnu appears to be greatly pleased with rs and the v. ay that each of us has played our part in life. He promises each and all of us eighteen years of unbroken happiness and success. During this time., however, he seems to lose his power and the countenance of Sive becomes more and more fore-boding, and he seenfs to have overpowered the rule of Vishnu, and in his role of destroyer is preparing plans for the destruction of our civilization. Siva plans the destruction of our civilization by launch- ing the Marinoidsg the peoples who live in that mystical land in the ant-arctic, far beyond the South Pole. -We have re- ports that these people are nearly all head, have four arncs, six fingers, and only very small legs, so much are they de- veloped. They have harnessed the power of the atom and seem to hold the fate of the world in their power. Vishnu has promised us his aid and the outlook has talren on a brighter aspect. From spies recently sent to the chief city of the Marinoids, we have reports that the Marinoids are preparing for li long expedition of a bel- ligerent nature. We have determined that our civilization shall not be destroyed and have called into executive session, the brains and brawn of our fair and prosperous land. President J. G. Kugland, our president, world's greatest diplomat and arbitrator is presiding over the meeting. In the circle around the massive oaken tables sits the brains of the nation in industry and in science.
