75e Picking up a magazine, our hero was curious to read some up-to- date tid-bits of the world, when he turned to the school directory page, and read of the opening of a nursery school for the welfare of penniless kiddies by Miss Jane White, prominent child psychologist, and nursery school teacher. Rip always did have a soft spot in his heart for those who gave their constant devotion to the young children and also to those angels of mercy, the nurses. And upon turning to the next page he gazed at a Red Cross poster, upon which appeared a nurse. Looking a little closer, Rip recognized the familiar face of Clela Harding, who was posing as the nurse, and who in reality is one of the best registered nurses the John Hopkin's staff has known. They consider her The Lady With the F1ash1ight'!! Well, there they are, Mr. Van Winklc. You say, you're not surprised? Maybe itls because you knew they had the potentialities. They have left a worthy name to be fulfilled by other seniors. The immortal Class of '4S!! I 945

X. MUST tell you about yesterday, because the discovery which I made is one of the most fascinating of the century. I had gone out to the gift shop at Sunny Hills School in search of several old pieces of pottery which I wanted for my collection, for I had been told that they had some beautiful old hand-made pieces. I had been looking around for almost half an hour when I discovered an old hand-turned vase hidden in a cor- ner. I picked it up to look at it and in doing so dropped it. Of course vou can imagine how horrified I was. I stooped to pick up the pieces and as I did so I noticed an edge of paper sticking out of the rather thick base. I immediately broke away the l'CSt of the clay to get at the slip of paper and as I got it away I unrolled it. It was of fair size but very brown and brittle so that I had to be careful. As I read the writing on it I realized what it was-well maybe this will give you a clue. t'We, the ninth graduating class of Sanford Preparatory School, being in sane mind and sound body on this thirtieth day of May in the year of our Lord, the nineteen hundred and forty fifth- You can imagine what it was, one of the manuscripts of an early copy of the San- ford Preparatory School Yearbook. Wfhat a discovery! I gave a slight cry of surprise and soon had a gathering of five or ten people in the gift shop. After the introduction it continued and I read aloud. First to Sally Schoeffel, Kyle has left his amazing ability to collect money for the Senior Class from anyone. Second, Clela has left Sally her speed which she knows will make Sally an A-1 wing for Sanford next year. To Natalie, Bill has left the playing of the noon grace and Grace Caley leaves along with it, the dining room piano for practicing. Jake has added to that his amazing ability to have his English assignments done on time. So that next yearis Glee Club will not suffer too much at the loss of its tenor section, Jake and Kyle have left their melodious voices to Bob Miller and Johnny Dyer. The whole class has added to Johnny's gift a gallon jar of rubbing alcohol, another bottle of Sloan's Liniment and a yeast compound to be taken at meals. We are sure that this will develop for Johnny those desired muscles. Our three senior photographers, Pike, Dick and Kyle, have left the dark room, complete with shelves and home-made enlarger, to Wendy. They also advise her to start taking yearbook pictures early. Wendy' too, has been given the Mermaid Tavern to wax on Friday evenings and to clean thoroughly every morning. She may even conhscate books which are left out, for the benefit of the senior treasury.
