Miss Fawcett appointed one person from each class to be present at our first meeting, Different persons were assigned different places to till. in the preparation of the paper. The paper was named 'The TattIer at the sugges- tion ofthe editor. Doris Jacka was made editor and Helen Marsh assistant editor. Eugene Connor. our chief joknst,joined the medical corps. Later Doris Jacka resigned and Ada Lee has taken her place. We publish in the paper a full acccount of each football and basketball game. The Tattler has been sent to several ditlerent Camps and Forts. Some were sent to Camp Funston, Camp Kearney, Camp Doniphan, Camp Kelley, Hawaiian Islands and other cantonments. By March the twentieth we will probably be sending issues to France, in order that we may cheer our home boys Over There a little now and then.

S. began work in November 1917. Almost every girl in N C. H S. belongs to the Red Cross and is doing her bit toward making our Sammies comfortable. A limited number of hours each day are given to this work. Theteachers and girls meet in the Domestic Science room. and the hour is spent in sewing or knitting. Many of the smaller schools tired of Red Cross work in a few months and gave it up, but the girls of N. C. H. S. are not slackers and are just as willing and anxious to do the work as they were at first. They have done a great work in the few months they have been organized, and the school should be proud of the patriotism they have shown. A complete list of the articles can not be given at this time, for a great deal more will be clone before school closes. Below is a list ofarticles made up to April l8, 'l8: 57 llot water bottle covers 7 Knitted wash cloths 42 Hospital socks 2 Knitted hot water bottle covers 48 Ice bag covers l Helmet 4 Sweaters 944 Bed socks

At the earnest request of my noble client, 1918, have l called you to- gether before her death to hear her will and to receive her gifts. There are some possessions of the class of l9l8 which she does IIOIVSCQAHL to bequeath to others. This priceless property is only vlaluablewhen gained by four years of hard work and varied experience, But such as she can part with, and such as will be useful to you. she leaves. My client wishes me to state that owing to a lightness in the head. caused by its gradual swelling dur- ing the last four years, and a heaviness fin the heart and other organs. caused by thoughts of parting and over-feasting respectively, she may have beehn mistaken in her inventory, but V suehas she thinks she has she gives to you, praying that you may not believe that it is only because she cannot keep her goods that she is generous. ' THE WILL We, the class of l9l8. being about to leave this sphere in full possession of a comparatively sound mind, memory and understanding, do make and publish this, our last will and testament, hereby revoking and making void all former wills by us at any time heretofore made. First: We direct that our funeral expenses and just debts, as a class, be paid as soon after our decease as can conveniently be done. from money coming from theclass play. Second: To the board of education we bequeath restful nights and peace- ful dreams. No more will they be called upon to decide questions of great weight concerning the class of 1918. CCondition l-This bequest is made on condition that the afore- said board visit high school at least once a year. If this condition is not complied with the restful nights and peaceful dreams will surely be few, for our ghosts will come back as a punishment! Third: To the rural students staying in town next year we bequeath the right to use our various bachelor quarters, with whatsoever utensils and furniture we may leave. tFrancis leaves one pancake turnerl May one red cretonne curtaing Anna one Western washer used four years: Alice one slightly cracked mirror.l Fourth: We. Frank, Chris. Murl and John, boys who volunteered for U. S. service, bequeath our vacant places to others who are patriotic and will fol- low in our footsteps. Fifth: To the four classes next year we leave our claim upon the time and attention of our instructors.
