Witness: Stella Yackle PARTING With hearts that are full or sorrow And thoughts of joy gone by, We, Seniors, in parting, would borrow Words to express our goodbye. The days we have spent in study With lessons that knitted our brow Seem as but a haze in the background As we think of departing now. Four years we have spent in our dear school Among our friends each day. Little thinking as time flitted onward How soon we must go our way. So now in bidding this farewell To our friends we are leaving behind The time-worn Good-bye, God bless you Are the best words that we can find. —V. B. Fourteen

OLD NOKOMIS 1936 Dorothy McRoberts is the honored housekeeper of the White House. They say the head butler is the attraction. Ruth Meier has a nationally known hospital for crippled rats. Enno Pechnik is the radio announcer at the earth’s core. He is quite a good friend to the famous Tarzan . Dominick Rigoni has become a well-known member in society. He became known for his Ant pies which are well liked by the natives in Africa. Richard Roadman has such an angelic look on his face that artists fight over the chance to paint his face in the fairy scenes. Bonita Schneider is the famous painless dentist. One look at her beautiful face and they swoon right over—hypnotized. Genevieve Singler won the national talkathon. She talked for 32 days without a stop—What a gal! James Stewart after many years of hard post-hole digging finally reached China. From all reports he is quite intrigued with the country. Ruth Irene Thompson has turned hermit and lives in seclusion in the wild country of the Antarctic. James Waters is a Senator from Illinois. He has Douglas beat a mile. Edith Wharton was the first person ever to cross the Pacific in a row boat. The Chinamen stared in wonder at the length of time she could giggle. As the last picture faded from view, I turned to find that the sprite had disappeared. Only a blue haze of smoke was left. I hastened to add fresh fuel to the fire of which only a few live coals remained. —R. I. T. LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT THE TRUTH IS WHAT HURTS ...........................................How do you feel?
