THE TRUMPET 19 Item 7. Thus has the class of 1920 willed and bequeathed everything which it has held in common. There are yet other things which individuals hold dear, but are willing to bequeath these treasures, abilities, and privileges to the members of the coming Senior class.

B-Cora Asmundson does hereby will and bequeath to Anna Hellum her hearty laugh. C-James Peterson wills six inches from the perpendicular distance from head to foot to Sever Anderson. D-We do hereby further will and bequeath to Leonard Danielson, who has an overflow of ability for blutiing, some- thing of its opposite characteristic, which is in the possession of Gladys Swenson. E--Mildred Erickson and Gladys Gurholt have nothing to will. but have found it more desirable to exchange length for breadth. F'-To Ruth Hanson do we bequeath Roy Lovdale's red hair. G-We do also hereby will and bequeath to the entire world all of Thelma Leean's class secrets. As it is impossible for Thelma to keep a secret. the World would soon have them all just the same.

18 THE TRUMPET CLASS WILL Irving Knutson, '20. As the time is now at hand when we are to pass out of this, I may say the happiest part of our life which we have spent at Scandinavia Academy, we think it is fitting and proper that we should at this time draw up our will, and bequeath some of our most valued treasures and distinguished qualities to our school, to the coming Senior class, and to others concerned. Item 1. First to our Alma Mater which has contributed so much to the foundation of our future, we do hereby will and bequeath all kinds of prosperity and success in its good works and in furthering the cause which she is striving for. This do we will and bequeath to her because she deserves it after surviving the difficulties she has been laboring under this year. ltem 2. At this point, we further think it fitting and proper that we will a part of our vast estate to our Alma Mater. It is only a small portion of our property but we hope that she, recognizing that the class of 1920 is not a financial source will see our good intentions. lt is the will of the class that the sum of seventy-five dollars be added to the Library fund. Item 3. To the President of this institution who has been so faithful in his endeavor to make us better students, we do bequeath all kinds of success in the same endeavor with the future classes. We hope that he will find even better and easier material to work with. ltem 4. To the coming Sophomore class on which rests a great responsibility in maintaining the good name of our Alma Mater, do we bequeath our ability for setting a good example for the coming Freshman. Item 5. To the coming Junior class, do we will and be- queath the same ability of setting a good example. We will further to them the privilege of giving the Junior-Senior ban- quet and decorating and preparing for the same. Item 6. But to the coming Senior class to which the great- er part of our estate and cherished treasure shall be willed, do we hereby bequeath to the class in general :- A-The dignity and bearing of a Senior. B-The privilege as well as the honor of graduating from our school with its new buildings and new name. C-The pleasure of staying another year within these beautiful surroundings.

The above will made and testified according to law by the the expiring Mr. Senior Class in the presence of the under- signed: Mr. Walter X. Y. Z. Hanson, District Attorney. Witnesses: Theodore M. Jergenson. Julius H. Waarvik. CLASS REVERIE Edna Masted, '20. How time does fly! It seems but a few Weeks ago 'since I was at our dear Scandinavia Academy, while in reality it is fifteen years. How I wish those days were back, al- though I am enjoying myself now. I love the deaconess work immensely. The patients are so kind and considerate that it is a pleasure to be with them. Memories come back to me of the days gone by, which were spent at the Academy. Naturally, I think of my dear classmates first. When we were freshmen, there were but four of the graduating class enrolled: Doris Danielson, Erling Blom, Roy Lovdale, and myself. The class has increased to twenty-six. How well I remember how we freshmen felt when we first enrolled. I remember Doris came into my room the first day of school and said, 'My, it makes a person feel funny to be here with all the seniors and other students, doesn't it? And the first time I saw Roy! He was short and thin. When I saw him standing by the door of the office, waiting to regis- ter, I thought, Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one who is bashful. I drew this conclusion because he blushed so easily. Erling did not begin school until after Christmas, so naturally he attracted a great deal of attention. Before he came, we heard that Bud's little brother was coming and that he was so good-looking. He wore knickerbockers and looked very young.
