THE CLARION 9 behavior in class. Too bad yofu cou'l'dn't have had thiis useful gift to use in lf'hysi'c,s Lab this year, Arthur. Teresa Cinowlley conlfers upon Pearl Berry and Muriel Belichier hier ever ready .smiles and gigigrles. If your teachers dionlit appreciate your use of these gifts, your claslslmates will, so do'n t feel bandlly. Marion Thormgplsofn leaves to Annie Craig her constant good nature and unrulffled disposition. Donft let triflles like unprepared lessons worry you Annie-take it from Marion--it doesn t Day- Alice McWilliams submits to Reg- inald Trafton her American History note-book along with the brilliant re- citations that accompany it. Next year you will appreciate this gift a great deal more, for while your class-mates are feverishly making out notes, you will be at liberty to enjoy yourself. Alice leaves her remarkable ability to make good recitations and to receive reports consistently decorated with whole rows of A's to Inez McNabb, Margaret Leary, and Madeline Wes- selhoeft. You girls will be establish- ing scholarship records, but remember to be grateful to Alice for her thought fulness. Marjorie Dockharn confers upon Eu- nice James her numerous navy blouses on the one condition that Eunice will wear them with the hem turned up to show the inscriptions to good ad- vantage. Earl MacDonald sadly surrenders to Benton Hoyt his popularity with the feminine members of P. H. S. We should advise you to learn to dance, Benton, as Earl has been very success ful in this line. Burnham Averill bestows upon Fannie Halprin his efficiency as a basket ball player, and to May Hart- well he reluctantly leaves his recently discovered dramatic abilities. Wyatt Wendell, with a great deal of regret, leaves to Vincent Amazeen his fondness for walking-especially with an agreeable companion of the oppos- ite sex. Vincent certainly is a favored person if he uses Wyatt's kind remem- brance well. John Power will have many spare minutes to amuse himself and his class-mates during chem lab next year, for Joseph Constantino has un- selfishly consented to bequeath to him fifty chemical experiments-each and every one corrected, and stamped with the coveted O. K. Maurice Kuchinsky bestows upon George Benjamin his incomparable French accent. Your teachers will doubtless regard you with wonder George, but we daresay you'll become used to it in time. Martha Fraser gives up all claim to her admirers in Rye in favor of Ruth Sides and Gertrude Weeks. It is a dis- advantage to have them live at such a distance, but then there are times when time and space make very little difference. Alice Goodwin confers upon Flossie Moore and Philena Morton the happy privilege of talking to their hearts' content during study-periods. But be careful, girls, or you will suffer the attendant punishment-that of lonely and sorrowful isolation from your class mates. Rose Sable and Fannie Sharansky have agreed to give to Emily Dame their combined sets of English notes. If you have little to do in class period next year, you may attempt some poetry, as Rose has also entrusted to you her ambitions in regard to that pursuit. Bernice Brown and Cecilia Murphy will their boisterous ways and dis- orderly conduct to Marjorie Evering- ham and Julia Cohen. John Fullam, leaves to James Sacco his infallible knowledge of correct so- cial prncedure. on any occasion re-Q quiring an intimate acquaintance with the rules and regulations of formal etiquette. ,May Walsh has decided to leave to

8 THE CLARION Geraldine Davis -enitnustls 'to Doxvolthy Rines and Miuriel Todd her reoelss time prornenades., These daily walks will be good for your healitlh, girls, sro dom't neglect them.. Doris S-ykes generously leaves to Elizabeth Snyder her frequlem rides 'to and from soluool. If you gain any ex- tra time ni iihils way, yovu mlighlt help some less florvtlurnalte classmate with the day s Math als'sign'meen't, sinlce you are slune to know it yourself. Jessie Coleman bestow-S her 'mlodlel behavior and orderly 'ways ufpon Ru-th Yeaton. You will never have to look twice for a book, Rurth, for Jletssiels gift wrill helfp you to keep your desk always perfectly arranged. Certainly a very praiseworthy and useful virtue. Annie Mil'ler ,th-i.n'k's that hair ribibons' do not beoome the dignity of a High school graduate, so she lbequeaths them 'to Eva Brovick: while to Iona Drew she leaves her general exoelllence in all her studies. Upon Monica Farrar and Fannie Si-egal, Sarah Thovmals bestows her air of Parisian style. Helen Call and Bessie Cohen be- queath 'their love of dancing and tlmeir knowledge of tfhe latest steps to Cath- erine Moran, Helen Brouillete and Frances Dwyer. Vivian Jenness leaves to Arthur Parsons the hionlor of represerrtling his native town in the Senior class. To Bernard Hawkins. Katherine Lyons 'wills her low,soft voice. Sylvia Stelrling leaves to John Louaghlin her loptimistic disposition and sense of hulmorg but remember, John, too much levity in class is in- excusalble. Virginia Barton and Dorothy Neiwick give ith-eir nealt coifflures and irre- proaohable Marcellls to Helen Mee- gan, Rutlh 'Dwomlbly and Delta Vifard. We wonder if Molly Brown ever wished to be taQl'l? If so, her desire is finally gratified for Marion VVillia1ms leaves her a generous pfortioln of Th-er heigh-tl. We wfonft know you in a year from noiw, Molly. Edith Pearson regretfully bestows upon Eleanor Jones her extensivt wardrolbe. You're a lu-oky girl, Elean- or, for you will always be provided with the newest thing in th-e way of clothes. We wonder if David Rockman would like to be an artist. It is quite pos- sible since to him Robert Marvin leaves his Well known cle-verness in drawing apt and appropriate cartoons. To Willie White, George Flanilgvan leaves his unfortunate habit 'of ap- p-earinlg breathllessly in his home room at 8.16. Please live ugp to this habit as faithfully as George has. Louise Sheppard has fbeen well re- membered. Ulpon her Doris Eaton be- stows her .sltufdiolusl habits and faith- fulness in preparing ass-ilgnments. Eileene Woods enldlovws Pauline Tay- lor 'with her literary albility. Now, Pauline, you may choose between the careens of vauwthfores-s and actress. No longer with Mildred Phil'brick's countless and unelxzpeoted questions in class go uruanlswered, for Claenlce Redden genlerouslfy leaves to her his large stolclk of infallible answers. Jennie C'o'hren and Mary Seigel need nevelr go hlunlgrv at recess n'eX't Year, for Sadie Miller ,generously leaevs them her own supply of lunches or the means of procuring them David Hartwell lbestows upon Eu- gene Hunter his drairnaitic talent, This unselfishnes-s of David's may sometime help yfou to belcolmle quite distin'guiish'ed. Edwin Mitchell kindly gives to John Mooney anfd Gordon Pridham fthe priceless privilege of Whispering when- ever th-ey choose, and allso the art of consuming a great deal of time in ris- ing to answer a question. This last is very useful, for by -the time you are ready to give your answer, the teach- er's thoughts are quilts aiolt to- be on the next question, so your remarks wilfl pass sulcdcesstlully. Rita Marston bestows upon Arthur Vveeks her quietness and lg-enlepal good

10 THE CLARION Viola Crompton her happy faculty of being able to keep still at the right moments, and to do her talking when it is quite unnoticed. A very useful gift indeed Viola, and after a little prac- tice you should be able to manage it almost as well as Mary does. To Pauline Halprin, Florence Howell sadly bequeaths her much treasured privilege of never studying at all. To Ruth Dunton, Margaret Ryan submits all her bookkeeping ledgers. These are beautifully kept, and will help you many times next year, re- member to keep them always with you lest some unhappy accident befall them. If any Junior is ever in doubt as to the exact Word he wished to forcibly express his meaning, he may safely consult John Wever, for Don Richard- son has provided for all such emer- gencies by endowing John with one large and useful vocabulary. Finally, we, the class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty, having so gen- erously remembered the Juniors, both individually and collectively, do- sol- emnly extend to them our very best wishes for their future happiness and prosperity. In witness .whereof we have here- unto subscribed our signature and af- lixed our seal this eighteenth day of June in the year of our Lord one thou- sand nine hundred and twenty.

Curled in a blanket, Indian fashion, I watc'h-ed tihe laslt rays of the June sun slip. It maide me think of my P. H. S. days, so rapidly going and I begun to wonder what would be the destinies of my classmates. A brigvhit little star poked its head out and twinkle-d salucily. I felt ,gulre by its manner that it had some superior knowiledlge so I solemnly chanted: Star bright, star light, First star that I see tonight, I :wish I may and I wish I might, I wish my wish may come true to- night. I wish I may see what every on-e of my classmates is going to do. It was only a very few minutes Ialter -when 11 saw a long, low ranch house in the mlidist of a plain. Vkfhooaps, shouts, the tramip of horses' feet were heard and a dozen men rode into the yard. Directing 'the unsaddling of the lrorses and giving orders was Uhve ranch owner, Pau' Badger, the first of our classmates. An office, that of banlk president, businesls-like amid alwe-invsfpiritng, with its mahogany fulrnishings and shiny desk fittings. There was an air of ef- ficiency about that otlfice, mingled with quiet and diignity. The reason was sirmple enough, the private secre- tary was Muriel Lance. On her desk were letters signed R. J. Kinkpatrick, President. The next scene War. in nhe cofuntry. It was fall, the vivid, mystical farl. Dowvn a dusty road bordered with state-ly goldenrod and asters came two young ladies. They were seeking something evidently, for they glanced from side to side. As I looked closer I perceived they carried palette and brushes, another look and I recog- nized Florexnlce Howell and Edith Pear- son, two eminent alrtlists. An exclusive restaurant and roof garden, 3, plalyfground for the wealthy. The proprietor, George Flanigan, stout and prosperous looking, mo- tioned the orchestra to begin.
