' n Qv 2 QI QQCANMQAS 25. To Bob Downs we leave the good will of that progressive citizen, Ra English, whom he understudied and for whom he changed the phonograph needles alluring the daily afternoon broadcasts last year. 24. To that little girl, Virginia Cole, we'll give a big hand. QTo match her stride.j 25. To Wayne Wilson, triplex character ofthe Iunior Play, we leave some actor's masks and wigs so that he may stage the Senior play all by himself. , 26. To Bill Natter, athlete extraordinary CU, dancer unusual CTD, and ultra handsome heart smasher UD we leave a job at his Dad's hack stand. 27. To the Girls' Varsity Club, the Saranac Lake High School's paddling coeds, we leave some paddles for future initiations. 28. To Margaret Lawrence we leave the position of Ye Towne Crier. Her natural abilities peculiarly adapt her for this. 29. To the Faculty we leave a meeting room where they can have little forget-to-geth- ers. 50. To Miss Rathbun we leave an electric horse. We hope she won't ride her hobby to death. At least she will be able to alternate between that and guarding the study hall. 51. To Miss Taylor we leave an electric heater to thaw out her frieze. 52. We leave Ralph Kelly at the mercy of those wild women in the junior Class. One at a time, girls. 55. To the manager ofthe track team we leave some anti-cramp solution to administer to Tony Robinson and Fred Smith. 54. To Ida Weiner we leave a star at which she may aim for her averages. 55. To Alma Winch we leave that little song: I Want Someone to Love Me, and being of a sympathetic nature we wish it may be realized some day. . 56. To Mary Latour we leave the Gabriels bus to take her numerous boy friends riding, as her present car has proved insufficient. 57. To the Antique Department of the school we leave our time-worn Seniors, Tuff Latour and Deke Kearney. 58. For future Students' Association benefits we leave a circus which will include the following: Joe Ryan, deadringer for Kit Carson, will do the Wild West Cowboy act. Jack Sageman will swagger in trying to act collegiate and then will proceed to take charge of all the gambling establishments. Harry Dreyfuss will don a tricornered hat, cross his eyes and be the clown, by merely acting natural. Wilbur Downs, Scotchman that he is will do the tight rope act. Fish Hopkins will be the trained seal and will balance a rubber ball on his nose. Mil Dietz, the Caveman will be the lion tamer. Tuff Latour, the brave man, will train white mice. 'gGrid Hickok and Wealthea Stark will then present their Marionette act, Punch an Iudyf' The Barker, Wilbur Tagliabue Cwho qualified for this position in the Boys' Glee Clubl, will present Walt Finnegan, as the India Rubber Man, and Goosee Gander, the Mid- get. Then the speiler, Deke Kearney will announce that Bill Wallace and Goosee Gander will do a dying swan act. Virginia Cooper, Phyllis Nederlander and Dorothy Morgan, the three bareback riders will then thrill the audience with a race. Little Iohn Coogan, good shot that he is in basketball, will dive through a hoop. Wally Herron the trapeze artist, will entertain next with a death defying leap into a tub of water that gets him all kinds of newspaper publicity. Margaret Lawrence will also dive into a tank of water and although this may sound fishy, she will eat a banana while submerged. This circus will be under the sole management of John Dewey. But we fear for its success, on account of the extreme childishness of the Juniors. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, WE HAVE HEREUNTO SUBSCRIBED OUR NAMES. THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1929 Witnesses: Executors: DAVID S.

ll Qw2Qv41r:ANA1RAs l ' Last Will and Testament VOS aeterni ignes, et non violabile vestrum testamus numen, fas omnia ferre sub auras. In other words, gentle reader, we take this opportunity to bring to light the failings of those who succeed us to this illustrious position, as publishers of this Year Book. Since our immediate successor, the lunior Class, is already dead, we leave our last bequests to the entire school. Therefore: We, of the Class of 1929, of the Saranac Lake High School, in the County of Franklin and State of New York being of sound mind and memory do make, publish and declare this our last Will and Testament, in manner following, that is to say: 1. To Captain Don McKillip we leave the same bright prospects for next year's basket- ball tean. We're hoping that they will materialize better than did those ofthe 1929 team. 2. To Wally Herron we leave a gallon of black coffee. Maybe that will keep him awake in study hall. 5. To Fish Hopkins we leave a hook, line and sinker. He's swallowed everything else so far. 4. To the band we leave all the sax appeal of Don Drew, Peanut Mace and Wayne Wilson. 5. To Tony Robinson we leave that sacred trust, The Freedom of the Press. We hope he will ma ntain the high standard of the Red and White. 6. To Tuff Latour we leave some lubricating oil guaranteed to take the squeaks out of mice. 7. Since Deke Kearney couldn't make the grade this year, we leave him an Alpine Climbing Outfit. ' Front! 8. To Wealthea Stark we leave some gold footballs and some chewing gum. 9. To Edith Hoffer and Rosemary Carlson we leave a supply of O'Sullivan's rubber heels. They may some day work up to be floor-walkers in Woolworth's nickel and dime department store. 10. To Jack McGrath we leave a little song entitled: Noses of Piccardy, and he just nose that if we send him a bouquet it will be a nice nose-gay. 11. To Mr. Kittams we leave room 100. We're sure that the activities in room 555 dis- tract his attention from his work. 12. To Walt Finnegan we leave a training course at the Meridian. 15. To Bert Mullen we leave a bodyguard, some secret service men, and a hound dog to keep track of the seating chart. 14. To Phelps Mace we leave another year in the Junior Class. 15. To Bernard Mullen we leave the right to compete with Sid Hodson in hooking rides in Mary Latour's cars. 16. We leave Harris Ryan as successor to Arthur the First, King of all the Scots. 17. To Lucretia Casserra we leave some heart-balm. 18. To Joe Beiderbecke we leave a trip to Montreal. Remember us to Lois. 19. To Harry Dreyfuss we leave a fat-chance of becoming governor of New York State. Anyhow we know one newspaper boy who succeeded. 20. To Speed Sweatt we leave Fred Allnut for mornings, Grid Hickok for afternoons and Bill Natter for evenings. 21. Don Drew we leave in his contracting business. tHe contracts debtsj 22. To Joe Ryan, wholesale fruit-dealer, we leave the split pairs of Reno, Nevada. 50 - L- w

Well, there's no fool like an old one. tHe reaches the air-terrace and seats himself in a radio-toboggan, a radio-controlled machine invented by Hall Parker, the radio genius of the age. As contact is made, the machine glides noiselessly into the air. Suddenly it stops . . . sways, and then falls swiftly to the earth. Murray loses all consciousness, and while in the coma, imagines the following: MURRAY Strange! Remarkable! Who are these people about me? OXHYDRONPHON Time without limit. Limit without time. Many strange events thou shall witness, O man. MURRAY This toboggan is moving like lightning. I know these people about me. A most im- pressive country! Ah There's Dick Malone.
