.TLLICLML SENIOR CLASS NVILL IVe the Senior Class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-Nine, of the Oakville Union High School, being of sound mind, character and disposing memory. despite four years of intensive cultivation, and not acting under duress, men- ace, fraud, or the undue influence of any person whomsoever, realizing the grief and desolation which our departure from this house of learning will cause to those poor unfortunates left behind, do hereby make, publish, and declare this our last will and testament, in the manner and form following: FIRST! To the faculty we bequeath the right to keep order. fYVhen ever they canl. To Mr. Murphy, we will another bunch of seniors as intelligent and won- derful as we. To Miss Acker, one ill book, entitled The Noble Lives of Seniors . To Miss Bestler, a lock for the supply cupboard guaranteed to keep out hungry students. To Mr. Hall, a squad with strict prohibition tendencies. To Miss Sealls, we bequeath a detective to hunt down all the missing library books. To Miss Mensch, we give the right to fuss with the underclass girls. To Mr. Evans, all the broken test tubes from Chemistry 4.

SECOND: To the members of the Junior class we leave to-wit: To Alfred Boyd, the right to be shiek of the school. To Pete Ames, the right to say Mme too any time, any place.

' , :,. , Dorothy took a business course and became confidential secretary to various business men, and at last set up in business for herself as a manufact- urer of prepared high school essays. As this iilled a growing demand she achieved much success. Harold Clodius had ambitions to be a scientist, but finding all the dis- coveries in which he was particularly interested already made, he had to content himself with a job as county farm agent. Marvin Butler was a great philanderer among the ladies. He passed lightly along the primrose path gaily smashing hearts-but at last fell a victim to a widow with 9 children. As the wife looked rather frail we saw Marvin doing all the housework in addition to his outside duties, Dora Gibson on her poultry farm successfully crossed the hummingbird with the ostrich and became the propagator of the f'humstrich , a bird with the size and appetite of the humming bird but producing an ostrich sized egg. The saddest fate of all I hate to record so have left it to the last. The most beautiful, most beloved, delightful, delicious, delectable Katie Baker, vainly coquetted through life, scorning every offer of companionship and my last vision of her was a lonely spinster acting as superintendent of a home for derelict cats, unloved and all alone. I cannot vouch that all l have related of this glimpse into the future will be authentic as about this time I saw myself in some desert place, presumably the Solomon Islands, as a missionary to the Cannibals. This view served to somewhat upset my faith in the reliability of Harold's machine. Just at this juncture a neon tube burnt out and although it was replaced we have been totally unable to reproduce any of the former results even with our utmost efforts and care. e-William Perry FANCY I am carried away on a beautiful ship, To a land of sunshine and flowers, Where beautiful fairies dance and sing, In the shadows of woodland bowersg To magic hammocks where the fairies swing, And spend their happy hours. -F.
