Charles Lamp leaves hio ability to wiggle his ears and his forehead at the same time to Phyllis Meschke.

(TV$ 0 THE TIMES OF ‘ 3 5 to his shop. As I explored Alaska, I stopped one day at a Fur Trading Station. Very much to my surpiise, Kenneth Schield was successfully selling refrigerators to the Eskimos. My next stop took me to southern Alaska to see a large fish hatchery that I heard LaVonne Eggers was running. While going through the hatchery she told me that she was the one who thought of the plan of heating the river so the fish could be cooked in a shorter length of time. Carmen Struve is the happy owner of a gold cup which was awarded to the winner of the hundred yard dash in the Olympic contest held at Alaska this year. Marion Sackett astonished the world and made herself many friends among housewives when she recently discovered that by placing a row of popcorn along one side cf a pancake she could get a self-turning pancake. I saw her demonstrate her process in Canada. Hose Mary Monette, I understand, wo.3 last seen when she obtained her position as stewardess on the airship between the cities of Racine and Stewartville. I decided to stop at Reno to see a new court which had been established and was completely surprised to find the judge to be Jean Burrington. She is extremely in- terested and most efficient. She is now compiling a new set cf divorce laws which she claims will be better liked by the women, and more just to the men. While at the bank this morning, Lucille Wood was seen depositing a check for two million dollars. When asked about it, she said, “Humph, that’s merely my month- ly interest from the West Indies. Haven’t you heard about my new type of date plant? Why, I produce dates from calendar leaves.” JOKES Joyce Geer: “Did you cut your hair?” Vailey Peterson: “No, I washed it and it shrank.” Mr. Sutherland in Social Science: “The outlines are ready for the feeble- minded.” Silent toast at a school banquet: “Here’s to our parents and teachers, may they never meet !” Elmer Reich: “Miss Eidnes, I’m stuck on that question.” Miss Eidnes: “I’m glad you like it.” When better English students are made, Miss Tuohy will make them. (With apologies to the Buick Motor Company). Miss Tuohy: “What did Juliet say when she met Romeo on the balcony?” Ruth Bentley: ‘Couldn’t you get seats in the orchestra.?” Mr. Sutherland: “It gives me great pleasure to give you a mark of 91.” Mildred Betcher: “Make it a 100 and have a really good time.” Audrie Greene: “Social Science is aw- fully dry, isn’t it?” Irene Struve: “Not now. We’re studying the liquor problem.” Mr. Jorgensen: “Will all those who are going to take the test please sit in these two aisles?” Francis Squires: “I’d rather sit in a seat, if you don’t mind.” Flunk and the class flunks with you; dig and you dig alone. A high school graduate is a person who could have had an education. Ever since Derwood Howe started put- ting grease on his hair, everything slips his mind. Marie Ol3on tells us that :he new way for removing red ink stain3 is to get above 75. Miss Tuohy: Do you know Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address?” Belva Haas: “I didn’t even know hi lived there.” Allene Henke: “What are the prin ciple parts of the verb to hang?” Adeline Myhre: “A rope, a knot, and a neck.” Chemistry assignment: “Today we will take chlorine, and Tuesday arsenic and mercury.” Margaret Kelly: “What’s Miss Eidnes trying to do, kill us off?” Donald Haas: “Haven’t I seen your face somewhere?” Helen Oftedahl: “I shouldn’t be sur- prised. I seldom go anywhere without it.” Miss Tuohy: 'Did you learn Gray’s ’Elegy in a Country Churchyard’ as I assigned ?” James Bleifuss: “No, the cemetery is three miles from cur house.”

Norbert Sullivan gives his permanent wave to Phyili3 Meschke so she will not lose another three points next year. Lucille Wood bequeaths her poetical ability to Miriam Slight. Edward Kuisle leaves his freckles to Laurence Steffens with the sincere hope that they will successfully cover up the measles at the time of all future contests. Marion Reese wills her dancing ability to Elmer Reich. The Senior Class leaves to the Junior Class the rows in the north section of the assembly, the privilege of taking Social Science, the joys of writing poetry in English IV, the enlightment obtained from Chaucer, with all the other joys and tasks too numerous to mention. To the Sophomore Class we give permission to put on the Junior-Senior Banquet next year. We endow the Freshmen Class with the privilege of claiming the honor of having the largest graduation class if Its enrollment does not too greatly decrease. To Miss Tuohy we give all our poems written in English IV and all unclaimed properties left in the dressing room after the class plays. To Miss Bonner we leave all our reinstatement blanks, class passes, excuses, both good and bad, never to be used by us again. To Mr. Sutherland we bequeath all knowledge w’hich might have been obtained on the subject of feeblemindedness, etc. To Mr. Pedersen we, as individuals, leave our line of chatter to be used by the team next year so he will not have to exert as much energy on the sidelines. To Miss Eidnes wre leave all new inventions and discoveries made by the Seniors in Chemistry, especially by Charles Lamp and James Bleifuss. To Mr. Jorgensen we will all the echoes and reechoes of our melodious voices and the sounds issued from our instruments. To Miss Koch, our most worthy class adviser during our Sophomore, Junior and Senior years, we leave a unanimous vote of thanks. To the faculty we express our sincere appreciation for ail they have done for us. To Mr. Russell we leave the assurance that we will not turn in any more fire alarms. And now in the presence of these witnesses, we do hereunto subscribe our name and affix our seal on this first day of March in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and thirty-five. SENIOR CLASS (Seal) Eleanore Luehmann, Witness VERNA BORN Jean Burrington, Witness MARIE GATHJE c CLASS Let us linger o’er our school days Just a moment before we part, And recall all those fond memories That are cherished in our hearts. As a jolly group of freshmen Straight from the 8th grade we sprang, And tho’ we lost a few and gained some We are still that same old gang Ruth Bentley has both charm and wit And with her yellow curls, Attracts the attention of a certain boy As well as certain girls. Vernon Ballard is very capable In almost any position, But, of course, when Jean’s around We girls may as well go fishin’. Jimmie Bleifuss is quite different From any of the other boys, He goes about and shows himself But never makes much noise. Verna Born is very quiet POEM While in school she sits, But when the case requires it She can be quite the opposite. Though Harold Dean has little to say We know his mind isn’t blank, For when it comes to writing tests He claims one of the highest ranks. Rita Towey can sing like a lark And chatter like the jay, And although she loves to argue She has an attractive way. Marion Sackett makes all her eyes At one of the Junior boys. And though she may not need it We wish her happiness and joy. Mary Dixon is an efficient girl In spite of her pace, For she’s like the tortoise That won the race. Is Helen Priebe sentimental ? No, I wouldn’t say that was true, This page is sponsored by WOOD SKYHAWK, Barber Shop — STEW A RT VILLE HARDWARE
