CLASS WILL We, the senior class of S. T. H. S., being of extremely unstable mind and giddy to a marked degree, do declare this to be our last will and testa- ment. To our enemies, we leave all of the perils that beset our path through the four torturous years of our high school life. But to our many friends, admirers, and well-wishers we dedicate this will, and hope that they will profit by our mistakes. To the sophomores we leave our ability to get the pole position on the National Honor Society Medallion. To the freshmen we leave our suave, debonair manner in the hope that they do not make any faux pas. 'l'o the juniors we leave our decided mental superiority and method of doing things just 5 little better. We leave these traits to the juniors be- cause we think they need them most. Bob Smith leaves his stalwart manliness and good looks to Baldy Hansen so that Baldy can captivate all the girls as Bob did. To Everett Nesbitt, Marvin Moltman leaves his feminine taxi business. Swede Swanson leaves his studious, quiet manners to Bob Watson. Robert Williams bequeaths his air-mindedness and scintillating laugh to little WaWa Savage. We hope WaWa will cultivate these traits. We leave Genevieve Withhart talking. Kathleen Wilson leaves her ability to extract harmony from various and sundry instruments to Virginia Pratt. Catherine Sampson leaves her nocturnal peregrinations on roller skates to Eddo Mae Hood. Ione Sartwell leaves her chair in the National Honor Society to Mary Pratt.

manent waves. Although Jane is now famous, her discovery failed to work on its inventor. The famous tasters, James Devine and Russell Drain, are now about to test Allen Eaton 's new drink that, instead of making one want more, cures one of all desire to taste any beverage stronger than chocolate milk. Well, well, well. If that isn't Alvia McIntyre talking a blue streak to Marie Thompson. Alvia can evidently overcome his school-boy bashful- ness, when he can get a captivating blonde to listen to him. I really feel sorry for Mary Goss. Just imagine, she has to limit her speed on the typewriter to 150 words a minute because no typewriter will stand the pace that Mary achieved after graduating from good old S. T. H. S. Look whom Wayne Ritchie is escorting. None other than 'the effic- ient director of the Ginie Confectionery Stores Incorporated, Lorraine Crime. 'tRuth Reible is taking a vacation from school for one night. You know she accepted a position of teaching history at Hanover. Ruth was always fond of history, you know. Another feature for this evening is a. saxophone duet. Why, don't you recognize them? That's Jane Hafemann and her partner, Jack Klinglerf' Ione Sartwell is attending this night's performance with her hus- band. IIer five kiddies are all tucked away in bed, you know Ione always did want to be a kindergarten teacher. Alvin Siedenburg, the great agriculturist, who had his start in agri- culture in Mr. Lamoreux's class, is here tonight showing his latest discovery of why corn grows on a cob. Meredith Schrunk will arrive late tonight. She is coming back from Hollywood to settle in Savannag the men out West are too tall for Meredith. Helen Iovinelli, who is on her vacation, is here from Chicago. I doubt if she stays here long, because I hear wedding bells ringing for Helen in the middle-western metropolis. The two S. T. H. S. Olympic stars, Shirley Stevens and Cynthia Mc- Nerney, will give a benefit performance for Bernadine Sorensen who is recovering from a severe cardiac affection, heart trouble to you, caused by Edward Hammerstein, the famous physicist. 'LA world renowned poetess is here tonight, Catherine Sampson. She has just collaborated with Edna St. Vincent Millay and published a book of poems Star Dust . Why, there's the bass member of that famous DaleyfGroharing duo. How are your daily dozens coming, Jessie? Just look at that medal! Why, that is fully eight inches across. Mussolini himself presented it to Rose Vaccaro for her valiant services in patching up the boys who played dice with Haile Selassie's youngsters. There is Jeanne Lumsdcn, head librarian of the Library of Congress. Jeanne learned to love books when she was making her book reports in her Senior year. Humph, well I still don't think much of this crowd. I should think that they would be able to have a few celebrities here. To think I wasted my whole evening among strangers whom I don't know a thing about. No, Susie, there isn't a thing about this Palmer House that I like, I donlt care if Bob Williams is chief cook or the French chef as he is called. I still don't like the place. Come, Susa-Belle. 3I
