Cfhirtg-aix It has been the policy of this, the greatest senior class ever to grace the halls ol' this institution ot' learning and unlearning, to institute originality into its projects. Since we realize that we are liar superior to our under-classmen and that none of our scintillating qualities would be of use to the common herd, we have come to the conclusion that we should extract from the rest of the school those few qualities land they are fewj that we have not as yet acquired. Yve hereby appoint as executors Bob Burns fArkansas Buzooka virtuosoj and Governor Davey.

Doc Lautenschlager gives Iames Kuhns and his crooked King's cor- net a batch of cotton to pass out to his audience belore he renders a solo.

And then we saw before us tive lovely damsels fair Who wore bright red mantillas and white roses in their hair- Senoritas Hartzell, Liming, Miller, Snyder, and Burns, Who twirled and dipped in a Spanish dance and bowed to us in turns. ln gay Paree we found some friends who were modeling in a shop, On Eileen Smith and Barbara Beem we wanted to eavesdrop. There were Iane Ohmer and Ianet Gates who owned the little storep Behind a counter was Eugenie waiting on Ieanne Moore. We strolled along in silent thought beneath Napoleon's arch: From two gendarmes, Welhener and Stein, we learned where the soldiers Brass buttons shone 'gainst bright blue coats as the men gave a saluteg Then Major Kuhns raised up his sword and gave the command to shoot.

We met then Doctor Gilman, who di s into p ramidsg George Nicholas, Glen Callander, and Myers fielped him to rid The mummies of their wrappings and Qiueen Knoll of her gold. Her slaves were Kiefaber and Frank, w o by now were rather old. That Loudon man was selling skins in darkest Africa, He found himself a native queen who was Frances Canada. A sound of tom-toms echoed far, and native tribes arrivedg march. Great chiefs-Broadstone, Hendrix, and Engelman-for many honors strived. In the land of the Turks our Stevie Smith ruled o'er a beautiful harem: On silken cushions he did lie with lovely girls to snare him. The fair beauties, Arnold, Rehling, F einerer, and Rice, With Matthews, Manney, and Headington for him made paradise. Prof. Morier took on a tour most any girl at all. Our Phil and lky, Marge and Mary gazed on the Taj Mahal. The two'Betties and Martha Lou were visiting the sages Whose tales of future happiness have come down through the ages. Dwelling in northern India where mountains reach the sky, Miss Hollinger had written books which all of us should buy. Our artist Marianna Will, climbing up a Himalayan peak, Was cheered by Martha and Rosie as her goal she did seek. On to Hawaii's sandy shore our shi did make its wayg We were to reach our own fair landpin just another day. A plague had covered all the isle and taken many lives Until Doc Biechler had arrived and cured them of the hives. So after days in foreign lands, we saw the Golden Gatep Mayor Siebenthaler met us there and welcomed us in state. The Lumherjack has come to dock within the port called Present, YVe trust that you've enjoyed the trip and really found it pleasant. Mildred Hostetter Virginia Hopper Page Twenty-fu
