I, Russell Bod ley, gracefully exit, leaving George Uackctt in abso- lute and supreme possession of that hall piano. I, Madalyn Worth, will to Mr. Jungennann my invaluable collec- tion of insects, worms, etc., to be distributed impartially among the unfortunate ones that remain. T, Hall W alker, with confidence and trust, do will my flowery rhetoric and masterful oratory to Alexander Briggs. Don't give up hope. Alex., you’ll be a Shakespeare (W. J. B.) yet. T, Dorothy E. Xichols, leave to the next Commish of Literary Activ- ities, Sammy Peirce, the burning desire to go away some place and be a Bolshevik, with the hope that it may he used to the utmost advan- tage in editing next year’s Campanile. Me. Fred Hughes, leave my ability to do trigonometry in the midst of the awful clamor of the Commissioner’s office to any person hard up for it—maybe Dave Lamson or Porky Dwight. I. Vivian Umphrcys, leave to Mary Thygeson my well known ability to get stuff imo the Campanile on time once in a (great) while—refer you to D. E. N. I. Shirley Charles, desire to leave to Sammy Peirce my accomplish- ment of getting to school on time three hundred and sixty-four days of the year, even though living near the school—a most difficult feat, as 1 well know. George Ilackett, to you I leave my little booklet, How to he a Lieu- tenant with the Glory and without the Work. You may need it some time, for all 1 know. I have found it useful. Wishing you luck.—Pete Franklin. T. Edward Waterman, bequeath my position as Times correspond- ent to anyone feeling the pressing need of writing an autobiography. To Louis Bucklin I give a little advice, to wit -don't chase after the girls. They are like street cars. Another will be along in a few min- utes. Signed, E. Whinner. To Edgar McDowell, 1. George Green, leave my little book entitled, How to acquire a misplaced eyebrow over night. T. Edgar Deimal, leave to Mr. Wells the ripe knowledge that you can make most anything learn chemistry if you try hard enough. We, Carl Shoup and Dickson C lark, leave to Red Marshall and Eric Jordan our demonstrated ability to carry on a conversation during recitation by using the semaphore code. (Hint—use your fingers in- stead of your arms.) 21
