The cost of publishing a Spic this year would have been much greater than in the past three years. After due consideration of the class's finances, it was decided to put out a Spic on a smaller scale. This year's senior edition was to be limited to the senior class and contain no advertisements. The title, The Senior Spic , was chosen as a fitting one. The staff has accomplished as much as possible with the resources available. We have put forth our utmost effort to get the best book possi- ble for the least cost to our classmates. Although we were unable to put out a book as large as some of the past Spics, we have put out a Worthy book, and have continued the custom of an annual senior publication. We present this to our class and friends as a Senior Spic which con- sists of the most worthwhile results of our high school days, and which is put forth in the spirit that senior editions have ever been put forth. 30

1934 SlIF,Nll1IDlQ GEULASS WIll,lli To all those whom these presents may concern, be it known that we, the Class of 1934, of the Owosso High School, County of Shiawassee, State of Foolishness, realizing that our days in the hall of learning are numbered and that our happy existence here is drawing to a close, in sound mind and body, under no threat or demand, do hereby make, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament, in which we set forth our bequests in the following manner: To our tolerated and beloved successors, the class of '35, we do most unwillingly grant o-ur troubles, our trials, our joys, our abode, and our A's together with the well-earned title of Senior in the hope that they will not find it necessary to Hout their newly acquired powers by sitting on telephone poles and waving flags. To the oncoming Juniors, we leave our good stand-in with the faculty, and with the advice to pay their class dues, that they may ever be prosper- ous even in times of depression , To the next year's Sophomores, we bestow the privilege to guard the little freshmen and keep them forever from straying from the straight and narrow path, and to advise them against the cruel and wicked ways of this world. Well-known individual members of the class wish to bequeath the following: Julia Demuth, her typing speed and accuracy to Betty Harris. Frederick Goeckel, his keen business ability and the editor's chair to Arnold Herscher. Marjorie Chase, her A's and her French pronunciation to Bettie Lucas. Josephine Eggleston, her quiet ways and charming manners to Re- becca Lord. Willie Parker, his witty whims and pesky tricks to Chandler Pinney, if the promise is made not to disgrace the student-body. Jack Mero, his role of clown to Raymond Ballou, along with sage advice not to indulge in too many bananas during one performance. The spooners of the past year bequeath the nooks and corners of the building so long as they are not discovered and nooks tell no tales. Our friend and counselor, Mr. Cournyer, we appoint as the sole exe- cutor of this, our last will and testament. Subscribed and sworn to before me, on June 19, 1934. -Arlene Matznick. 29

lIl9lD34t 'wfkllilllplll ,IIESA Ilfl4IiYlIE'l Applesauce , prcsented in the high school auditorium, December 7, 1933, as the annual Senior Play, was a distinct stage success of the year. The humorous plot deals with a serene and envied youth, Bill McAllis- ter, Whose chief asset is applesauce . This gets him all the essentials of life, even a girl. Hazel is engaged to Rollo Jenkins, but Bill, in an ex- tremely funny scene talks Rollo out of his engagement by playing up the great cost of married life. Bill marries Hazel with 36.00 in his pocket, believing that two can live as cheaply as one, for Happlesaucei' is cheap and Bill is no lazy linguist. The leading roles of Bill and Hazel were exceptionally well acted by Paul Henzler and Virginia Elliot, respectively. They were capably assist- ed by Miles Trumble, Elmer Wing, Phyllis Miner, Aubrey Hicks, and Dorothy Hueschen. The play was under the competent supervision of Miss Isabelle Rayen. Much of the financial success of the play is attributed to the business staff headed by Frederick Goeckel. 31
