SENIOR CLASS BOOK 29 Will of the Class of January, 1920 HE class of January, 1920, being of a sound and disposing mind and memory, but mind- ful of the uncertainty of human life, do make, publish, and declare this as, and this is our last will and testament, hereby revoking all former wills and testaments made by us, realizing that in a short time we shall join the other spirits that have left the school. First — We direct that our body be preserved as a mummy, since cr emation, owing to the shortage of coal, is impossible. Second — We leave to the efficient faculty of our Alma Mater a vote of thanks, because we are deeply sensible of the inspiration and guidance ren- dered us during the past four years. Third — We will, bequeath, and devise unto the Senior B ' s our seats in convocation. (But what ' s the use, they take them anyway.) Fourth — We direct that Oscar Zabel ' s yell lead- ing ability be left to Dr. Benefiel. Fifth — John Marlatt ' s bashfulness we bequeath to the love equipment of our next star sprinter. Sixth — We leave Bill Grieve ' s crutches to Margaret Camp; for her crabby attitude needs support in the library seventh period. Seventh — Alice Cookson ' s bolshevism we leave to those who oppose the library board. Eighth — We will Harold Park ' s military walk to our jazz baby, Paul McMaster. Ninth We bequeath to Al Pratt, Iva Dum- bolton ' s dreamy eyes. Tenth — We leave to Leo A. Borah and Juanita Frederick that old motto: God bless our happy home. Eleventh We leave Esther Anderson ' s ability to get credits to Louise Bullivant. Twelfth — Caris Sharp bequeaths her faithful at- tendant, Francis Riley, to Kathryn Buchanan, now that Caris has the brilliant matinee idol, Charles Knight. Thirteenth — Dorothy Olmsted ' s ability to pick them up, we leave to Gordon Russell. Fourteenth — We donate Bill Strickler ' s two- year-old excuse to the associate members of the Skipper ' s Club. Fifteenth — Roy Pence has succeeded wonder- fully the past four years by living up to this motto which we leave to Russell Dickson, Herb Linds- ley, Bill Rendle, and the rest of the fussers: My mother taught me not to smoke. Nor listen to a naughty joke, 1 dont. To dance or swear is very wrong, 1 dont. Some youths choose women, wine, and song, 1 dont. I ' ve never kissed a girl, not one, 1 do not know how it ' s done. You wouldn ' t think 1 have much fun, 1 dont. Sixteenth — We leave Harold Gleeson ' s stage voice to Johnny Morrow to use for a klaxon on his Ford. Seventeenth — We direct that Emily Acord ' s abil- ity to get around quietly to be left to Eleanor Rob- inson. Eighteenth — Last but not least, we leave to the cafe a new oyster ' for the soup — string attached. Nineteenth — We hereby nominate to appoint T. O. Ramsey to be executor of this our last will and testament, and to serve without bonds. Signed, sealed, published, and declared as and this is our last will and testament, this twenty-sec- ond day of January, Nineteen Hundred and Twenty. GERALDINE GLENN, Chairman. PAULINE BENSON. MARGARET ELLIS.

SENIOR CLASS BOOK 31 Prophecy of the Class of 1 920 |p ¥T7 E, the members of the class of January, • ' Ty 1920, do hereby desire to make known •■ ' -j . • to the student body of our future career, feeling that the time is approaching when we shall leave this sphere to meet again in the spirit- ual world. We will reveal to you a heavenly set- ting?? where we will gather together before the Great St. Peter. To him we must confess our worldly sins before we enter the Pearly Gates ' and it is for the Great St. Peter to decide whether or not we shall pass. SETTING St. Peter (Roy Pence) seated on his throne before the Pearly Gates. His heralds (Gene- vieve Melcher and Emily Acord) dancing be- witching dances to gain more people for their side. On the opposite side is the Devil (Harold Glee- son) with his dancers (Caris Sharp and Mar- garet Ellis) trying to win hearts for their side. TIME Resurrection Day. SCENE 1 Enter Lester Abey, who registers as a prize- fighter in Ringling Brothers Circus wrestles with St. Peter to get through the Pearly Gates, but is refused because he becomes a victim of the Devil ' s Dancers. Ellery Fosdick, a clown, is ad- mitted because of his ability to entertain Pauline Benson, a bare-back rider, who is sent to the devil s side for using slang and chewing gum. Last but not least, is Walter Johnson in tall silk hat and frock tail coat, the manager of the circus. SCENE II Bill Grieve registers as a physician and sur- geon, but confesses that he has given poison to cer- tain patients in order to increase the business of his friend, Dewey Kenniston, who has gone into partnership with Mr. Schooley, the undertaker. Esther Anderson and Virginia Buchanan are as- sistants of Dr. Grieve and Mr. Kenniston. Leone Webber (a victim of the poison given by Bill ) is brought in on a stretcher by Bessie Curtiss, Alice Cookson, Helen Clark and Valva Holm; Lyle Wimmer follows, as chief mourner. Harold Parks, prosecuting attorney of Dr. Bill, and Harley Finch, Leone ' s lawyer, start proceed- ings which are interrupted by St. Peter, who de- cides through which gate each will enter. SCENE III Enter Ivy Foster who registers as cupid fol- lowed by her victims: Archie MacDonald and Bernice Jones in Mr. Ramsey ' s Ford, which Archie purchased from Mr. Ramsey for $4.98, in order to go on their extended wedding trip. Barbara Hunter, Dick Howerton, Dorothy Olmsted, and Russell Witters, Iva Dumbolton and Lavelle Finkleson. St. Peter says there is no love in heaven; so sends cupid back to earth and separates the couples, sending half to heaven and half to purgatory. IV Enter Bill Strickler on stretcher, carried by Hazel Johnson, Vivian Marberg, Zola Dodd and Gladys Sutherlin, accompanied by his mother, Violet Hess, and his fiance, Ardis Putnam, in her skating outfit — all crying because Bill com- mitted suicide on December 1 7th, fearing that the world was to avoid the rush to Heaven. Bill is sent to the Devil ' s side because he had taken, his own life and broken the heart of his sweetheart. However, both are sent to purgatory because Ardis had broken the Sabbath by skating; she makes her exit weeping — because, in the direc- tion in which she is being sent, there is no ice and she can skate no more. SCENE V Enter Oscar Zabel as Mack Sennett followed by his company: Wayne Wilson, Harold Lloyd II.; Crystal Reeves, Bebe Daniels; John Marlatt as Cross-eyed Benny II; Mabel Darr as the Mother ; Albert Haeseler as the villain; Ger- aldine Glenn and Theodora Budwin as lady po- licemen. Annie Smith, the jealous sweetheart; Ruth Laws as the photographer. This cast fea- tures the making of a Sennett dramma, Mack himself directing.
