The Junior Echo '51 'PW To Glenna Po-rrey, this telephone. It is a peculiar sort of instrument. It will call Hill's,l' but not mountains. To Leila Hise, this stick of dynamite. You are not what we consider 'slowj' La, but this will have a tendency to quicken your physical movements as well as your mental. Fourth-To the Sophomores, who must work to raise their standards in the annals of the Average, we request that they use to their best advantage, the sum of 10,000 German marks, which we leave to them to further this project. And to the offi- cers of said Sophomore Class we give, devise, and bequeath the following: To Donald Charlick, a bag of salt. Everyone knows what salt is used for, therefore we ,take it for granted they will draw their own conclusions. To Clara Lebbert, this utility bottle. You are to carry it everywhere you go, to care for your aches and pains. To Esther Dickenson, this wonderful pair of gloves, which you are to wear only at physical training time. F ifth--We hereby advise that when the present Freshman Class rise to the honored position of Sophomores they will bear in mind their duty to their upper-classmen, namely, the Seniors. A Word, present Freshmen, don't forget the Seniors in your class functions and they will not forget you!!! We leave the said Freshmen the amount of 1oo,ooo Russian rubles for their use in providing sufficient refreshment in case thieves should break in and steal. To the OFFICCFS of this class we give, devise and be- queath the following: To Carolyn Fuller, this note book, which has copied in it, rules from the best authors on How to Manage a Large Fresh- man Meeting. To Dorothea McCarty, this pair of ear rings. You might just as well have an extra pair as so-me others in your class, with whom we are acquainted. To James Whitbourne, a bottle of henna shampoo. Some- times a change in color of one's hair has a tendency to alter one's dispositio-n. Sixth-To the Sub-Academics, many of whom have shared in our fun and trials for a half year, we ask that they bear in mind the advice, given by us to our under-classmen, that they may not be the objects of comment in further class wills. Don't worry, Subs, you'll graduate some day-you'll muddle through some- how. Lastly, we hereby appoint HARLAND G. HOGEBOOM, executor of this, our last Will and Testament, hereby revoking all former wills by us made. 21

Ontario High School C79 IFJ To Elsie Brown, this music roll in which to keep your music so it may always be in one place and not all over your desk. To Coralie Covill, this corsage bouquet which you may wear now or keep for a future occasion. To Raymond Middleton, this cake of cocoa butter to strengthen the muscles of your arm for more than one purpose. To Doris Huxley, this strong box in which to keep your nega- tives and secrets. To Louise Verdine, this horn. You are to use it in a very worthy act, namely, to make noise with so that others may know you are around. To Mason Stevens, this story, full of adventure. We know this is your choice in the line of literature, so you have our per- mission 'to go out and read it now if you can't wait. To Mary LeFrois, this Royal Rex, which will help you to get to town nights when the Ford is not working. To Lela Rouch, this half pint of cream. May you always find it full when you desire to partake of its contents as a fattening stimulant. To Melville Sheahen, this cann,', tied with our class colors, so you may be constantly reminded of that one blissful five-week period in the rear of the study hall. To Dorothy Owen, a band box. Dorothy, you are to take the most extreme care of yourself, and when not out to parties or dances you are to place your gowns and coiffures within. To Louise Cann,this tennis racket. Although wewere aware that you did not play very much this spring, we presumed you had no partner, or that said partner had no tennis racket, there- fore, we give you this to enjoy during your summer vacation. To Donald Fewster, this lotion. It is a pure compound of vegetable roots, contains no alcohol or other poisonous sub- stances, and is a good remedy for swellings, especially in the re- gion of the thinker. To Ruth Turner, this spoon. Judging from the spooning we have witnessed of late, we take the greatest pleasure in leaving to you this token as our contribution toward the little bungalow. To Genevieve Foley, this book of Basket Ball Rules. We sincerely desire you to study this, in order that you may be more proficient in the art of controversy. To Orion Stevens, this sheet of music. May it be an incen- tive to strive diligently for a higher knowledge of music. To Harold Fewster, this speedometer. Taking into con- sideration the number of miles you travel p-er week and your rate of mileage, we considered it only fair that you have this instru- ment to restrain you from becoming a speed maniac. 20

Class Payroll Cloise Swearingen HE SENIOR CLASS of 1923, being a very business-like class, wishes to give the members some slight token of re- ward for their effort in behalf of the class. Thus I am authorized by the said class to make these awards. First, to Norman Beach the class deems it fitting to give an autographed copy of Cic.ero's Orations translated into English. It is hoped that this gift will make ample reward for the many un- happy hours spent in trying to translate it into English. To Violetta Finkle, who now holds the school record for speeding, and for the prevention of which the class now gives a check to buy a speedometer. May she always watch her speed and may she always keep the speed laws in order that the people may understand her. To have been the president of the class since it was organized is quite an honor and quite a respo-nsibility, and so to Miss Pearle Leenhouts I present from President Harding, who recognizes her 22
