Page t'wenty-two lass Will ' In the District Court of Newcastle, before Judge O. C. Kerney, we, the Seniors of 1926, do nobly and without malice aforethought, hereby make this will, our last effort in the hope that all concerned may be better by it. The Seniors have made great sacrifices in the hope of helping the lower classmen and we hope that all who have herewith received gifts will feel honored and try to live up to them. HEAR YE: PRESIDENT, BILL KLODT, desires to leave Frank Martin his superfluous supply of wittiness when in the presence of ladies. With this extra fortification Frank will reign supreme,-as School Sheik. , Katherine Storm wills to little Boo Grieves her extra strength. and size, which she feels sure Harold can make good use of. Elmer Rogers hereby leaves to Paul Gaido his ability to be- come teacher's pet. The two Dewey girls, Pearl and Lenarda, bequeath upon Joe Zanoni their ability to get by without studying. Lucile Roberts leaves Gerald Clinebell one-third of her ever- increasing boisterousness and ability to find fault. Erma Long bestows upon Bee Bennett her beauty, and strategy she uses in getting dates. Red used most of the strate- gem employed this year. Daniel Webster, alias Glenn Bettis, wills to Floyd Hansen his windiness in arguing on subjects unknown to him. Ella Bock desires that her personal charm and daintiness be left to Grace Mahnke. Louis Kugland, he of the fiery temper, wills just a small part of it to Miss Lewis as he thinks that she is far too good natured. Mary Marquiss wills to Christina Freel her exceptional danc- ing ability. Q Susie Kudlock wills her extra gum fto be found in the first seat in the first row of the Study Hallj to Clarence Culver. Calvin Scott now puts in a good word for Leonard Hays, and leaves his knowledge of the gentle art of bluffing to poor Skeezix. Dorothy Sedgwick thought it only proper for Mrs. Gardiner to have a small portion of her wonderful generosity and thoughtful- ness for others. This is to be used when making out the report cards.

CPage tfwenty-one Class fighting was not prominent this year, and everything was rather quiet. . The Senior play, Getting Acquainted With Madge, was a success and helped us financially on our annual. May 15 the Junior Senior banquet was held, and here was our last gathering of both classes in high school. There were 29 Seniors from Newcastle, and one from Cambria at the banquet. A little more studying, and then came commencement. So passed the Seniors of '26. J. J. K. MRS. ETHEL GRAHAM, PRINCIPAL Mrs. Graham, our principal for the last three years, is one of the best teachers that any student ever had. If we were permitted to nickname our teachers her name would undoubtedly be, Square Deal Graham. She has lived in the west long enough to become embodied with that principle, of all true Westerners. A square deal for everyone. Naturally, believing in this, she deserves a square deal from you and she's not expecting a thing too much. If she ever bawl.s you out or in society scolds or reprimands you think it over and just seehow easy it is to recall a recent disregard for the school laws and remember that you have no right to break them without being told about it. Everyone that ever was on the listening end of a lecture or the receiving of a sharp reprimand can say that he got just what he deserved and also that he got a square deal. Of course the corners on the square deals hurt but that is only when we did a little more than is known or has been seen and we are treated too nicely. The corners hurting is nearly always the prickings of that little thing they call conscience. Everyone has a conscience, though probably some people have less than others. However, whether we belong to one class or the other, we ought to know enough to appreciate what she does and the way she does it and the many square deals that she gives us during the grind that is 180 days long. As our class sponsor she can not be surpassed. This is all that I can say about her, al- though I suppose I could use words that neither I nor any other student of my age would understand to express just how we feel about her. Neither could we find word-s to express the thanks of those whom she has helped so gloriously through their Senior year -1926. ' E. L. R.

-Page twentyrtbrlee Katharine Howell wills to Elizabeth Gaido her honesty in handling class money. This is something to start out with in the world anyway. Rose Rockwell wills to June Frazine her knowledge of O. C. Kerney hoping that this will come in handy to June next year. Judge Kerney was struck with a violent fit of coughing at this stage and it was necessary that Sue Horton will to him the ser- vices of her father, Dr. Horton. Upon being remembered twice the Judge immediately resumed court. ' Next George Pridgeon leaves to Harlan Williams his athletic prowess expecting Harlan to make good use of it for Old N. H. S. in 1926 and 1927. T Not to be out-done, Ruth Kinney leaves to the entire Short- hand class of. next year her exceptional ability along this line. Virgil Mikesell wills to Tex Baldwin his school girl complexion and his ability to dance the Charleston. Lorena Weaver became more than kind-hearted and left her talent as a piano player to Jessie Hinsdale, feeling that .she had made enough use of it. - - , - Beulah Keys leaves her ability as a basketball player to Mau- rine Pleak. Maurine ought to feel honored -as Beulah is .giving away something that only few can get. . Marjorie Haines and Margaret Thoeming jointly will- to Na- dine Storm their school teacher actions.

Bill Dixon leaves his scientific interests along unscientific lines to Hugh Johnson. - Last but not least the Senior Class of 1926 wills to the Junior Class of 1927 the good luck, gcod times, and knowledge, which we have gained, hoping that they may have as successful a Senior year as we have had.
