CLASS WVILL We, the class of 1924, being about to depart from this life as High School students, do hereby wish to draw up our final will and testament for the sake of bequeathing all the faculties we ever possessed to those prescribed below: To the teachers we will the obedience, love, and re- spect that we have failed to show them in the past four years. To the Juniors we sadly leave all the seats in the rear of the assembly, seats which only grave and dignified Seniors may occupy. To the school, on account of our departure, we leave much sympathy until the obstacle can be overcome. To those of the printing class we bequeath many hours of blissful pleasure of editing next year's annual. We leave our books to the District, in a worse condi- tion than we received them, on account of such inten- sive and thorough study, but regretting thatvie could not have done so long ago. Calvin leaves his throne as fusser to Albert. The cozy seat occupied most of the time by Tom and Pearl we give to Dwight and Mildred. Ralph Keating leaves his oratorical powers to Lloyd Kimble for the future betterment of the Literary world. Marie, Grace, Alta, Edna, and Marcella leave their membership certificates of their Nymph Dancing Circle to Alice Lewis, Lois Cusic, Agnes Symes, Lois Tefft, and Myrtle Moody. Ray Butler's speed while running the quarter we give to James Sims. May he use it judiciously for the

Next in New York, we see a Studio of Dancing and we decipher the name of Grace Bussel Instructor. She advocates the Castle Gait only. Then we see Bryn Mawr where Phyllis is coaching basketball. We notice she employs the pivot play only, so that the team resembles six smallcyclones. The scene becomes familiar when the prairies around Simla is next shown. Then Main Street. where we recog- nize Frances with her husband, a young Simla Million- aire. No his name is not Kimble. Margie is evidently married too, name withheld, but we see she is assisting the new proprietor of the Farmers' Union. And Ray runs a popcorn wagon on Main Street, and has alittle frozen-dainty wagon tied on behind. Then a flash of France where we find Mary Bowers, and from the setting, we judge she is pursued by many noblemen. Foremost amonga group of American Ambassadors next shown, we see Clyde Morgan, who is ambassador to Japan. We always felt his mania for high place s would secure for him some degree of elevation in this world. Then a church is thrown upon the scene. People are crowding and jostling in their eagerness to enter ard hear John Carner, the greatest evangelist the world has ever had. His methods are of whirl-wind variety --- even rivalling Billy Sunday. Then we are taken to a studio in Hollywood, where we see Thelma Barnhill, who has made a wonderful success in the Movies. They say her salary equals that of the President. Next We are shown Congress in session with Finley. Democratic leader in the Senate. Swaying all with his marvelous eloquence. Next before us is the City Auditorium in Chicago where a flaming electric signboard advertises to the world that Edna Kimer-ling is making a cross - country tour and lecturing in 33 different languages on the sub- ject The Perfection of Woman's Garrulity . From here the scene shifts to Ireland where Tom. who is called the American Caruso, is traveling. Mai ie is his pianist. Next we see the Palatial Palace of Iceland, and there is Edgar Haycook as President of that great domain. We see Alta teaching a school of cowboys in Jerk Water, Montana. The fading scene gives place to the tlush pink car- nation into vi hich our fairy vanishes with a parting wave of her nile gieen vsand.

slenderizirg of his figure. Thelma and Marjorie leave their high grades and ability to get E's to Roy King and Ward Spaid. We give Finley's position as center on the Second B. B. Team to Charles Ververs to fill as completely as did our worthy class mate. Gifford, Maye, and Phyllis bequeath to Paul, Hildreth and Nita, the honor of being head pressman and typeset- ters respectively. I Della wills her tranquil disposition, brown eyes, and position as side center on the B. B. to Melva Hurst. Clvde wills his ability to play end on the football team to Cecll Greenwood in hopes that some day thru his ef- forts we will be able to Beat Hugo. Ralph Zemz leaves his copious knowledge of Spanish to Emma Garriott. Frances wills the many happy hours spent in company with her Trigonometry to Bernie White. May he master the subject. Les Woods gives his position as orchestra drummer to Edd Murphy. Edgar leaves his ability to captivate Matheson maid- ens to Homer Syme, with the hope that the sunny clime of California will not be so enticing in the future. Mary Bowers wills all finished and unfinished Chem- istry experiments to Helen Carter. John Carner wills his ability of flunking to Raymond Moreland.
