1 JUNIOR .I-:cHo 1 Genevieve Foley was an architect and was building a new theater in Salt Lake City. She aspired to be above people so she worked way up on top of a nearby building while curious crowds below gazed in speechless amazement. She enjoyed it very much and considered it mere play. She did not seem to be burdened with care or worry. Probably because she was so far above people. After remaining a few weeks longer l felt as though l must get back to my work. It was my privilege to travel back with an All-Star Cast, who were on their way to the Orient to make a new picture. l had a very delightful voyage and was glad to get settled down to work once more. l am more than thankful for my feast. for it brought me many unexpected pleasures. CLASS PAYROLL Smith Pratt HE Senior Class of l925 wishes to give to its members some slight token of remembrance for their efforts in behalf of the class. Thus I am authorized by the said class to make the following awards: To Ethel Young: This book of memoirs to commemorate the fact that you have held the honor seat in your class for three con- secutive years. Also this comb, guaranteed to comb long hair as well as short. To Lelah Rouch: This bottle of henna, to make your hair a more brilliant red.

l-1l---- JUNIOR ECHO -l-- H LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE CLASS OF 1924 i PON behalf of my client, the class of l924 of the Ontario High school in the County of Wayne, State of New York, United States of America, l have called you together upon this solemn and serious occasion, to listen to her last will and testament, and to receive from her dying hand, the few gifts she has to bestow in her last moments. She has tried to be just, as well as generous and impartial, and distribute wisely unto those who will make the best use of such gifts. She begs me to state for her that she might possibly have been mistaken in her inventory, but such things as she thinks she has, she hereby gives into your possession, praying that you will accept them as a sacred trust from one who has gone before. Listen, then, while l read the document, as duly drawn up and sworn to: We, the class of l924, being about to pass out of this sphere of education. in the full possession of a crammed mind, well trained memory, and almost superhuman understanding, do make and publish this, our last will and testament, hereby revoking and making void all former wills or promises by us at any time hereto- fore made. As to such estate as it has pleased the Fates and our own strong hands and brains to win for us, we do dispose of the same as follows: We bequeath to our faculty all the amazing knowledge and startling information that we have furnished them from time to time in our various examination papers. We know that much that we have imparted to them must have been entirely new, and would throw much light on many a hitherto familiar line of thought. lf the faculty see fit, they are hereby authorized to give to the world such of this information as they feel the world is ready to receive. We give and bequeath to the junior class, some grey matter, which is sadly lacking. To the Sophomores, we give the ability to pull together during the next two years. This was the main failing in their ranks this year. To the Freshmen, we leave our footprints, so they might by chance, attain success. Again to our class room teachers, the profound admiration and ever enduring friendship of the class of 1924 in an individual as well as a collective manifestation. ' To Neva Wemes4ome laughing gas to coax that grin into a hearty laugh. To Bertha Whitcomb-A carload of face powder each week for the next school year. To Marjorie Hallauer-Ethel Younis quiet and lady likeness. 21
