- The Shadonian Class Will We, the most colossally egotistical, high minded, concentrated solution of ignorance ever to pass through the very eiiicient filter of Shade Township High Schoolg the most weak- minded geniuses ever to doubt the word of a teacher, do hereby cheerfully, and without malice, bequeath our cherished personals to all whom we leave behind, namely: The Class of 1939-Our traditional but friendly enemies. The Class of 1940-Our understudies who must now tread the path to fame without our expert guidance. The Class of 1941-Our ever-present stumbling block over whom we have always had to walk going to and from classes. To the Eighth Grade-The future Frosh who even now show signs of the verdant grassy color. To the Seventh Grade-Youngsters from the nursery across the way. ARTICLE I We, the Class of Nineteen Hundred Thirty Eight, leave to the dear darling fac- ulty of our Alma Mammyl' the memories of faint glimmers of 'Brightness' that sel- dom crossed our fair, unconscious faces. ARTICLE II Section I-To Mr. Williams we leave a sense of relief when our dear, beloved faces no longer darken Shade's doors. Section II-To Mr. Swartzwelder we leave the memories of a souvenir presented by a member of the senior class. Section III-To Miss Brubaker we leave a deep, hollow gap in her study halls when the heavy footsteps of the seniors are no longer heard in the library. Section IV-To Mr. Spangler we leave the junior class to murder the King's Eng- lish which we so enthusiastically attempted to slay. Section V-To Miss McColly we leave all the canaries she can possibly find among the remaining students.

Section X--To Miss Andes we leave Jack Spangler and Steve Undvari to ma- nipulate the paint brushes in art class. Steve may also imitate us in case she feels a yen to hear our rasping voices. Section XI-To Mr. Stahl we leave the memories of those study periods in our home room. Section XII-To Mr. Myers we leave the memory of Harold Gibbons who promises to be the only member of our class who may become one of the good old F. A. Section XIII-To Miss Hindman we leave the memories of her one and only, Betty Low. We also leave the memories of those happy times we had together at the Home Economics Club meetings. Section XIV-To Miss Miller we leave the sweet memories of her valiant attempts to make several of our class into finished thespians. Hail Hitler. Section XV-To Miss Lehman we leave all the shorthand and bookkeeping books complete with all the answers. ARTICLE III Section I-To the Junior Class we leave the remains of what was once a beautiful home room. May the lilac odor which per- vaded it during the first part of our senior year never come back. Section II-To the Sophomores, our sis- ter class, we leave our ability of being out- standing, CWe hopeb. Section III-To the Freshman Class we f28 leave the ambition of being seniors some day. Section IV-To Grade Eight we leave space for thirty eight pupils to be occupied by its one hundred fifty members. They are small and should occupy little space. Section V-To Grade Seven we leave all that is left. These youngsters will have a good time rummaging through the ash heap.

The Shadonian p Class Superlatives Due to the keener than keen competition among the high-minded, aggressive, sophisti- cated and non-sophisticated members of the class of nineteen hundred thirty eight, it was deemed inadvisable to offer one best gum-Chewer or one best class flirt, etc. Rather, we would ease conscience a bit to offer two competitors and let the final decision rest with the reader. When making a final decision concerning the fine points of each, remember to choose wisely, lest a poor decision may give a perfect gum-Chewer, an expert trickster, or what have you, an inferiority complex.
