Ruth Lamed—A girl whose conscience is always bothering her because she feels she hasn't done justice to her educational opportunities so she is going to start over again in the first grade and show 'em. Wanda Locke—A little brunette who in her spare time while not pecking away at a typewriter is pondering on how she is going to keep her hair and eyes matching when her hair turns gray.

I, Winifred Carney, will to Vivian Ruetenik my size 4 shoe. I, Ethel Mae Andrews, will my flying fingers on the typewriter together with my slow motion handwriting to Ralph Brown.

I, Jack Madsen, bequeath my do-little-and-get-away-with-it attitude in school to Alfred Fobes. I, John Stacy, will my mind-my-own-business attitude to Betty Burdge. I, Wanda Locke, leave my power of exaggeration to Mr. Hawkins. I, Lucille Vandevort, leave my power to defend myself with snappy retorts to Mr. Winkler. I, Edward Brockway, give and bequeath to Miss Miller the clay I carried back and forth from Leroy to Perry each day on my many travels to school.

I, Bob Stinchcomb, will my superperfect knowledge of English literature to Miss Geddes to distribute among her poor erring pupils. I, Ruth Day, leave to Carolyn Greening a position as private secretary. I need someone to help me mail my love letters. I, Shirley Haines, leave a very dog-eared volume entitled How to Woo and Win a Maiden to Stanley Gould. In my opinion it surely works—and Stanley needs it. Ethel Mae Andrews—A species of the rare individual known as the air stewardess. The species is one of the loveliest in captivity. Florence Church—A bicycle enthusiast- keeping her bicycle nice and shiny all these years in hopes that she could trade it in for a new Ford, because she can make fifteen miles an hour on her bicycle now. John Stacy—A keen looking blond you saw behind the counter in Warner's Market ten years ago, now owning the store and the neat white uniform he wears.

Bob Stinchcomb—An important man of the news, not a news reporter— just a news boy. Mr. Stinchcomb delivers the local paper daily, and the Cleveland Plain Dealer on Sundays. Sophie Seitz—A famous artist of the century, who has produced beautiful drawings, oil paintings, portraits, and statues. Sophie has reached the height of her profession now; she runs a comic strip in the Child Life Magazine. Freddie Baker—Local gentleman who has made himself famous by his radio entertainments.

Miss Carney's main objective in working here is to supply her boy friend with pins and trinkets bearing her initials. Robert Brainard—A dealer in automobiles—Dodges, of course. Bob has his sales talk well learned and repeats it constantly—day and night. He tells us that he has just one trouble in his line of business—people dodge him instead of buying Dodges. Cora Goldsmith—A famous preacher. Influenced by a minister who lived in the Goldsmith home during Cora's younger years, Cora turned to the religious side of life. Miss Goldsmith now conducts services every Sunday morning in the Goldsmith Temple on West Main Street, Perry, Ohio, U. S. A. She delivers the same sermon each Sunday, the title of which is Eat, Drink and Be Merry, for Tomorrow Is Washday. Joe Laurie—Little need be said of this lofty personage; tall, dark, and gruesome. Being the present president of our United States, he has become famous throughout the country. He is known to most as the Abe Lincoln of this age. But instead of Friends, Romans, and Countrymen, lend me your ears------. President Laurie addresses us, Listen here, you apes. Hilda Means—A noted author of fibs, fables, and fakes. Her latest masterpiece is How to Win Boys and Influence Men. Charlotte Root—One who has earned for herself the title of Mother among approximately one hundred children.

She not only takes minutes; but also hours—in arranging his tie and combing his hair. Wilma Hall—The little miss who couldn't go to Florida with her elders because we all missed her so. She has finally had a big, big trailer built which will hold all of Perry and some of the clay of Leroy. So any winter now you should be prepared to find yourself under Floridan sunshine because she's going to take us with her! fourteen
