The Senior Class V ill Realizing that our frail spirits are about to pass from this temple of woe, wishing that after passing, all our earthly possessions may be divided satisfactorily, we, the Senior Class of Rushville High School, being at this time of sound mind, do make, publish and declare this as our last Will and Testament, hereby expressly revoking any former will by us at any time here- tofore made. We, the Seniors bequeath: 1. Our high class records to the Freshmen that they may graduate as proud as we. 2. Our many sincere faculty friends we leave without grudge to the Sopho- mores, who will need their faithfulness in unlimited quantities in the years to come. 3. The foolish capers of the class to the Juniors who can get by with them. 4. To the faculty our undying de- votion. 5. A few of Agnes Hogsett ' s pounds to Lorna Scull. 6. Dora Mae Rees ' quietness for Mug Lambert to dream of. 7. Katy Green ' s cosmetics to Ruby Hires. 8. Paul Lewark ' s slowness to Johnny Joyce. 9. The dignity and severeness of Mary Frances Spivey to Katherine Northam. 10. Some of our romantic spirit to Mr. Whitmer.

Holcad Staff The Holcad Staff has from the be- ginning of school, worked diligently to produce a book of local color, a Rush- 1 ville High School Annual from cover to cover. The staff was organized about three weeks after the beginning of school, with Lowell Craig as Editor-in- Chief and James Myers as Business Manager, and the work was begun at once. Gradually the book took form as they all dilligently applied them- A selves to the task before them, a task which was new to all as none had ever before had very much experience in journalism. Each part was worked out step by step in a most careful manner by the different members of the staff and to them is due much credit. Under a serious and difficult handi- cap of having to reduce the cost of the book to nearly one-half of the cost of the last year ' s annual, each one had to work carefully. They all did their best and the staff, with the aid of its most efficient sponsor, Mr. Whitmer, feels that it has not been a failure al- together.
