Article sixth. We direct that Miss Miller meet her dream-man. We bequeath to her the right for her and hers to settle down among the rugged and tree- clad hills of Cape Girardeau County, beautiful for their ruggedness. Article seventh. To Mrs. Crenshaw we bequeath happiness. We direct that adversity be unknown to her. And when her 'clear call' comes may she be greet- ed with, Well done thou good and faithful servant. We demand one consideration, namely, that on every anniversary of her marriage she remind Mr. Crenshaw of the time she obligingly fainted, and of his record- breaking race to the school house, in which the writer . . ,. ..,,' participated and came out a poor second. Article eighth. To our efficient superintendent, Pro- fessor Moyers, we bequeath prosperity and grant him a trip back to the Ozarks every summer. May adver- sity always follow him, but never catch up with him, and may his enemies have their toes cut off so he can tell them by their limping. Article ninth. To the School we grant our perpetual loyalty, fond memories and tender recollections. It's O. H. S. forever. In witness whereof, we, the Senior Class of 1920, have to this our last will and testament, subscribed our names, this 18th day of May, 1920. The Senior Class. -E. E.

The time has come when the present Senior Class will be no more. Being sensible to the fact that our days among you are numbered, we desire to make dis- position of our property and affairs while yet there is time, and so we do hereby make, publish, and declare the following to be our last will and testament, hereby revoking and canceling all other or former wills by us at any time made. Article first. We direct that all our just commence- ment expenses be paid in full. Article second. To the Juniors we bequeath our dignity and our place in the sun . We direct that all our rights exoflicio be given to them, also all of our de- merits. Furthermore we direct that our translations of Cicero be turned over to them, and we wish them all the success that we had with them. To Miss Zimmer- man we bequeath a copy of The Autobiography of Benjamen Franklin , provided she will agree to peruse it daily so that she may find the date of Franklin's death. To Miss Henry we bequeath a book entitled How to Run a Reo Car, also this advice, Beware of railroad men. To Miss McCord we bequeath nothing. because she has that now which so few women acquire, and even fewer keep, namely, silence. May she always adhere to First Timothy, second chapter, eleventh verse, in the future as she has done in the past. To Miss Miller we give our thanks for assisting us in the devastation of the Oration of Cicero. To Miss Sanders we bequeath the art of how to keep a man after he becomes subjected to feminine wiles. We hope that each of the Juniors will graduate at the head of her class in 1921. Article third. We direct that the Sophomores be transformed into model Juniors. We bequeath them a hard year in which they will come to realize that their instructor knows more than they after all. We give to them the over-lordship and pleasure of criticizing thc coming Sophomores and Freshmen. As the girls rule the class we bequeath to them the dignified obedience and proud submission of the boys, a characteristic of the male. To each of them also we bequeath a bor of powder teither face, gun, or headachej and also a book dealing with the popular and over-burdened science of cosmetics. Article fourth. We direct that the time of em- barassment and subjection of the Freshmen come to an end. We direct that they now hold up their heads and say proudly, enthusiastically and defiantly, We are Sophomores. We beg them to keep in mind the period of their own involuntary servitude, and consequently treat the coming Freshmen with the honor and respect always given to Freshmen. Of them we demand one consideration, namely, that they always adhere to the Golden Rule, either the original or the modern one ac- cording to Lyman Oliver. Article fifth. We bequeath to the faculty our un- dying gratitude and our eternal thanks, and a place in our hearts which will be filled with the memory and re- collection of their earnestness and sincerity.

Foreseeing this, I most humbly beg the pardon of any casual reader for being trite, but the old adage, an honest confession is good for the soul can be legitimately and correctly in- serted before I begin my memoranda. I know these few lines which follow are incoherent, unmusical, and insufficient, but I sincerely, most sincerely I assure you, hope that these gentle words will give the chance read- er a conception of the trials a modest, demure, and un- obtrusive bachelor must suffer and undergo during leap year. Perhaps it is best that I should tell the casual read- er something about myself, and if I may be permitted, I will insert a brief description herein. I have never been addicted to the vile and profane habit of boasting, but if I do say it myself, I cannot do myself justice in this short paragraph. I have been handicapped since birth. You see my surname being Served, and at birth I was christened Radimaanthus Ellingsworth by my fond parents, and a name like that would handicap any'- one. During my boyhood days the fellows called me Rady, which hurt me to the quick, and on several oc- casions I was on the verge of committing homicide, but thru my strong will I calmed myself. I am a mari of slight build. I have black hair, black eyes, and my com- plexion is fair. As I have related to you I do not often boast, however I say it modestly, I am not an unhand- some man, and, worse, I seem to attract and to fasci- nate the weaker sex. My nature is gentle and refined. I am a very sileit man, and like Dr. Frank Crane, I believe that silence is the most eloquent, beautiful and perfect thing in the world. The very top of passion is speechless. When a skilled actor wishes to portray emotions that transcend the ordinary, he is still, motionless, expressionlessf' Before I begin, and having debated it in my mind carefully and thoroughly, I have come to the conclu- sion that it would be best to state the rudiments of my recital first. In short, it is a chronology of the happen- ings and events, which point toward the eventual, am- aranthine, perpetual, and, at times, not responsible, dilemma of matrimony, which constantly and incess- antly persecutes, torments, and annoys an unoffending bachelor during leap year. It is as follows: Sunday. I arose at half past eight, I ate breakfast and prepared to go to church. At eleven o'clock went to church. After the services started home. It was a beautiful day, like the day in June that Lowell had in mind. Not being in a hurry I sauntered along in an easy, tranquil and unrestrained manner. But unbe- knowst to me a storm, nay a cyclone, was approaching. Miss Iwanta Mann, a very garrulous, loquacious, and vcluble young lady, approximately forty years of age, overtook me, and I was forced to walk home with her. When we reached her home she asked me to come in, and in a moment of mental aberration I went in. After dinner I became suspicious. About two o'clock she moved her chair close to mine and said, Mr, Serv- ed, Radimanthus, I have something on my mind. You are aware of the fact that it is not good for woman to be alone. 1 love you. Will you marry me? Q-it my dear Miss Mann, I replied, I canon: marry you. 1 ll' L Leimnnr immmzinfiiiiiiiinmi1.xm.uiiiIQii'uuEiBMiExuiiiirhi iimmnnnTm.ni1..El:54 QM.KiiuiufiHumuiiuiu-,uniiiinicimuuii1.iiiiiuuiuiu:riim.nmE-Eim'Liii'uiiuiuiHiiE.EilQ.Mi9Juiiiluiaiiiu.iiiiiuii1iiiii.iTgiiuiniipii.. 1ininluiliuuiiiiui-.iuuiiuuiunuuuuiii fi J
