Having gained a supernatural knowledge of High School, we find it exped- ient to pass on. Therefore we are leaving our vacant desks to the pupils of the oncoming years, hoping they can fill them as good or even better than we did. We wish to make and publish this, our last will and testament. that they may have some mementos as a remembrance of us. Thus, we hereby do will to the various persons the following items: First of all we leave to our faculty who has guided and instructed us patiently through our Senior year the memories of our unprepared lessons, the almost utterly impossible excuses, and the unpleasant looks we bore when asked a question. We know it must have been diflicult for them to carry us safely through these storms of life, but they have done their duty and we shall win the kind of a reward we worked for. We also leave them any valuable knowledge on Exams. or in recitation that they may have gained. We feel sure some of the knowledge gained, by unexpected test papers, was perhaps as valuable as enjoyable, especially to find so many papers with the same answers and then perhaps. wrong. We bequeath to the Roll High School and its contents any pencil marks and jack knife carvings that may be found, or notes stored away in some undiscovered corner. These being the bequests of the class as a whole, we sincerely hope, al- though they may be small, you will remember us for our kind and generous spirit. Now each individual Wishes to bequeath some personal property to a friend. First: Junior Burchard wishes to will to Dorval Sprong the corner of the library so much loved for reading library books and getting reference work. ' Dorval do not leave the corner vacant. Second: Raymond Byall leaves to Floyd Casterline his winning ways and patent leather hair. Now Floyd be careful. Third: Helen Wolverton leaves her dignified ways and quiet disposi-- tion to Vesta Harrold. Vesta quiet downf' Fourth: Glenn Frazier leaves his Monday morning Marcelle to Lloyd Rice, providing he can get up in time to get it done before school. Benny, get it even? Fifth: Mary Creek wills her wit and women's rights to May Harrold. Now sunshine, make it snappy. Sixth: Mary Runkle leaves her oversupply of words to Blanche Ratliff. Blanche express your sentiments. Seventh: Ivaleene DeWitt leaves to Elizabeth Burns her flapperism and ability for the stage. Betty keep the spirit moving onward. L Ir: EEF 43: 3 lf, 285 Q T ' f E L FS' fl lg! lifal age If 1924?

cnt Bulluniun '24 I Z But time flies. I can linger here no longer. Another large town house as came in sight. Coming down the broad veranda steps was Bertha. the same I Bertha I had known in my high school days. She was much prettier and , seemed very happy. Accompanying her was-well, anyone could easily , , 3 Q guess who it was. I ,I -1 F 1:35 The interior of a large wholesale house next appeared. At the desk of 0 1 o the business manager sat Raymond Byall, a former classmate. Reporting 3 for duty at the business manager's desk, was Paul Florea, now a traveling Ee jgh salesman. I heard Raymond highly commend his work. Thus I judged that QQ 0 V as Paul, with his persuasive voice and manner, had become a thoroughly ca- F pable salesman. I I A large consolidated school came into view. In the principal's ofice presided Mary Creek. I felt sure that Mary, with her capable teaching abil- ity and strang character, was making and enjoying success here. P2 -fl, 0 A large stage was brought before my gaze. Seated at a piano, and ac- companying a great opera singer, was Ruth Kelly. Evidently Ruth had D 2, ,? .g gg more than realized her ambition to become a recognized pianist. Maw I, Another stage appeared, but it was smaller than the first. In the cenijei' 12 s of the stage holding all the attention, was Ivaleene. She was giving a read- TF ing, and she was able to carry the audience with her, for they laughed and Ii cried, according to the various emotions expressed in the reading. Certainly I li Ivaleene had gained a small degree of success in the world of foot-lights. I The appearance of the farm spoke of a thrifty, industrious farmer, and I i I , could not help but wonder who he was. At the gate of one of the fields appeared a man. Who was he, I wondered? As his face came well into , view, I recognized Bryce, another classmate. I A large farm appeared. In the fields were large herds of grazing cattle. I I , A small farmhouse came into view. Seated on the front porch were Mable Seelig and Gilvieg of course it was no longer Mable Seelig. They . I I seemed happy and well contented. , l , A large western ranch next appeared. My attention was focused upon I '55 a large White horse, ridden by a cowboy. I examined the rider carefully. lg and recognized my old classmate, Junior Burchard. He seemed happy and A carefree, and I judged, by the respect shown him by the other cowboys, that he was foreman of the ranch. A visitor. The voice of a servant aroused me from by stupor. I .' wakened and gazed wonderingly about me. I had difliculty in collecting my Kg thoughts. Where had I been? What had I seen? My gaze became fixed upon the tiny fan held rigidly in my hands. Ah-now I remembered! The F F hazy procession of figures, the scenes in which I had seen each of my for- I I mer classmates, had all been mere optical illusions. But-were they merely I , optical illusions, or had the fan cast a sort of magic spell over me? I exam- I I Le ined it more closely. It was the same-it had not changed. The Japanese L1 a 15? symbols, so mystic in their hidden meaning, had not changed and I found III B myself vaguely wondering what secrets they could tell. ' 5 And I might state here that I never learned the secret of the fan, but I ,EFA all still hold it as a treasured possession of mine, for was it not the means by ggi I F which I was enabled to learn of my classmates of '24?
