isn't a bad sort of a fellow, but can't resist the temptation to worry some one in any way he can. Trouble is minus its terrors for him, and in order to bring about a rapid change we have asked Eugene to make this sacrifice. ITEM XLIV. We do hereby nominate and appoint the Board of Education of the City of Salem, Ohio, as executor of this, our last will and testament, hereby authorizing and empowering them to pay from their own personal funds, any outstanding obliga- tions that we have been unable to meet, and we desire that they may be not required to give any bond for the faithful performance of their trust. We do hereby revoke all former wills by us made. IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF we have hereunto set our hands and seals this 3rd day of June, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred fifteen. THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1915 OF THE SALEM HIGH SCHOOL, By George Washington and Theodore Roosevelt. Signed and acknowledged by the said GEORGE WASHINGTON and TEDDY ROOSEVELT as the last will and testament of the said, THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1915 OF THE SALEM HIGH SCHOOL, in our presence and signed by us as witnesses in their presence and the presence of each other.

ITEM XXXV. Russell Campf wills specially patented ideas concerning plans for the promotion of a new Rapid Transit company, to Ray VVhiunery. Dutch doesn 't intend to set the world on tire with his plans of new and Wonderful possibili- ties, but in his own steady way he will help to push the world on in its course. ITEM XXXVI. Mary Pow leaves her unusual ability to secure the last word with even an echo, to Florence Lair. If Florence can use her newly acquired gift with any degree of success, there will be no peace of mind for any of us. We have heard it rumored that they let the phonograph talk to Mary at home, and just now we wonder if it isn't true! ITEM XXXVII. Catherine Cronin leaves her pleasant disposition to William Read, who will now become as happy as a lark. Observe that when he smiles it causes a geo- graphical disturbance which can only be measured by both North and South latitude, if you take his ears to be the North and South poles. ITEM XXXVIII. Mildred Hutcheson wills her ability to make acquaintances with out of town boys, to Helen Redington. We are unable to see the judgment in such a gift, for hasn't Helen more than her share of this laudable HJ faculty? Helen has been known to say, I know a man in every port, but the Seniors say, that it 's a case of Any port in a storm will do. ITEM XXXIX. Earl Shisler does will and give his ability to blow the clarinet to Doe Matthews. We all rejoice, for we are tired of hearing t'Doc blowing about nothing. We wish Earl heaps of good fortune for giving him at least something to blow, and as the Wind will be interminglcd with a little music, it will be much less objectionable. ITEM XL. To one of our farmer lads, Carl Hannay, Ruth Seeds does give, will and bequeath her extensive knowledge of Botany and a wide variety of seed catalogues. fThey are simply inferences anyone would draw upon reading her last name.j To one who knows Ruth quite well, her information regarding the above mentioned science does not seem so extensive as her name would appear to imply. The honest practica- bility of Ruth's gift will be seen at a glance, because we realize that seed planting time is drawing near. ITEM XLI. Anna Carey leaves all but twelve dozen of her freckles to Harry Lewis, who intends starting a Savings 8: Loan company in the near future. The new enterprise will be promoted under such a large capital that no other results than Ubig dividends can be expected. Judging from the pictures of the Senior Class, one would conclude that stock could not be had for any price within a few days after opening. ITEM XLII. Lillian Hayes does hereby will and give her quiet and graceful man- ner of moving about to Glenn Harris. Glenn has just passed through that period of a boy's life when he grows the most. On several occasions, he has involuntarily been made the target of jests, when to his amazement he found one of his feet stubbornly trying to go one direction, at just the precise moment when he was Wishing his other foot to go the opposite way. It is truly wished by the Seniors that Lillian 's gift will bring him consolation. ITEM XLIII. Eugene NVhite gives, wills and bequeaths his ability to keep out of other people 's way, and his characteristic distaste for trouble, to Charles Carey. Tot page twenty-Hve

B.-lliell, what do you think of that, will surprises never cease? li.-Bernice, get in connection with tl1e advertising manager while l look through the latest war news from the Associated Press. We 'll have to increase our advertising section. B.-That has been arranged.
