SENIOR CLASS PROPH EC Y AQ.. It was in the Winter of 1948. I had just returned from a successful musical tour of Africa, where the dark audiences had shown the greatest appreciation of my ability. Arriving over the good old U. S. A. in my Zeppelin, The Bologna, memories of my old school days in Tehachapi came to me. I decided to make that flourishing city a visit. In a few moments the great ship was sailing over the tall and lofty spires of my old home, and the airport was soon reached. The ship being safely moored at the municipal airport, I proceeded to alight and look for a taxi. What was my great surprise on entering the first one at hand to find the driver was none other than my old school chum, Woodrow Farrar. I noticed immediately that his once fiery red hair was becoming quite gray. I found out the reason later, when he took me to his home. On entering the door I found seven bright topped little urchins playing tag under their mother's Cmy old friend Mary Myersj feet. I learned from Woodrow that Violet Azbill had finally succeeded in roping a husband, and that she was happy and contented, now that he had traded his old Model T coupe in on a new Ford. After our evening meal, Woodrow announced that he had a surprise for me. We entered his taxi, and after driving for a while reached our destination, which was a fashionable ibut ah! rather questionablej night club where Bill Downs Know the leading gangster of the townl reigned supreme. We were led to one of the best tables in the house, and told that the evening's entertainment would soon begin. While waiting for the fun to start, we heard a voice at our elbow calling fcigars and cigarettsj. To my astonishment I saw that the voice belonged to none other than my old classmate, Dorothy Yorba. I learned that she had been married quite frequently, and was even now engaged to another old friend of mine, the well known banker and financier, Walter Elliott. After an enjoyable visit with all my old friends, I again took ship, and soon was in New York, where I was to give a concert for the benefit of frogs who had lost their croak. .

SENIOR CLASS WILL liT.i On the twelfth of June, Nineteen Hundred and Thirty-one, we, the noted, lordly, sophisticated, spoiled Senior Class of Sl of Tehachapi Valley Union High School, State Of California, being of sound mind, do here and now declare this our last will and testament, and in so doing revoke all others made by us at any time: To the Class known during the year as Juniors, We give and bequeath our title and all privileges attached to it. We also leave to them the busi- ness Of running the school and keeping up its honorable traditions. We individually give to our friends and foes the following: We do: bequeath the red hair and dOnkey's ears Of Woodrow Farrar, also his ability to sing so beautifully, to Lucy Giraudo, knowing that she will profit greatly by these valuable gifts. We do: bequeath the school girl complexion, green eyes, and high mental superiority of Stanford Jackson, to Jane McColloch, and may she use these great assets for gaining more A's in her studies instead of what he used them for-Cfoolishnessj. We also give to Donald Griffin the curly teeth and hot air of Violet Azbill, hoping, as we believe he will, use them to become more talkative. We give Bill Downs' lordly and shieky air with the Women to Walter Elliot, hoping that he may develop into the same success along that line as Bill did. We leave the motherly charm and bossified manner of Dorothy Yorba to Bob McDaniel, hoping that he will make some nice girl a good wife. We do here and now appoint our principal, Mr. Orris Imhof, the executor of this our last will and testament, and we empower said executor to make any change he finds necessary' in the disposition of our property. Hoping that we have made this will out fairly, We, The Senior Class, bid you farewell. WOODROW FARRAR, Secretary, Class of '31 . FOURTEEN
