. er LEGENDE CLASS WILL I 926-2 7 V as We, the Gypsies of 1926-1927, Roodhouse Community High School, County of Greene, State of Illinois, being in sound mind and body, wish before continuing our journey, to leave something in the possession of the bands that are to follow us in the future. ' We do hereby declare this our last will and testament and declare all former wills and testaments null and void. We bequeath our reputation of being the smallest band of Gypsies to the Freshman Class and also bequeath all stray coats, caps and other things found on the desks, chairs or in the halls to them. We leave all our surplus knowledge to the Sophomore band and challenge the Gypsies to put out a better Legende than we did. I, Thelma Petrey, leave myblooming freckles to treatment with Stillman's Freckle Cream. I, Myrtle Strawmatt, leave my butterfly bows to any girl who desires an eye view of R. H. S. I, Virginia McGrew, leave my ability to create a tempest in a teapot to Louise Grizzle. I, Mary Arnold, bequeath my ability to ask the right questions at the wrong time to the Freshman Class. I Frances Tendick, leave my lemon locks to Corrine Kidd. I, Olive Ferguson, leave my Wallace Reducing Records to Clara Mae Meckley. I, Beryl Windmiller, leave my large eyes to those who have no foresight. I, Ward Logan, bequeath my capers with the fair sex to Mortimer Gilmore. I, Louise Wilkerson, bequeath my interest in the males to Jane Scott. Page Twenty-one

,5-- M 5. fa LEGENDE This will be the highest plain attained by a few but we hope that in the future each of our fellow tribesmen may take his own individual wagon and make as successful a voyage over a vaster space of knowledge as he has in the minor plains of R. C. H. S In winter time it's straight and hard, The road to Knowledge Land, By Study Lane and School-book Place With pencil in your handg Your eyes must see, your ears must hear The things there are to learn, And never to the right or left Your little feet must turn. When the summer time is here oh, then You'll find that Flowery Way And Woodsy Path and Sunset Hill Will lead you day by day, If you will look and listen well And read on every hand The open books Dame Nature leaves, To that same Knowledge Land. -Gvrnlrlinc Kimnziff. 9?'
