DEPARTURE just a small first grader, Then so on through the years And now a senior graduating Into a world of fears. We're ready to do our duty As a citizen of today, To pay respects to our country And help it in every way. We're always to honor the old Green and White And bear the hardships of life, Keep within us peace of mind Though the world is filled with strife. To obey the laws with head held high Proud to be living here In a splendid nation that's filled with peace And our loved ones fond and dear. We say goodbye to our high school As we take our place in the world, Saluting our way through our life's, struggles As to our flag unfurled. -DONALD MEYER. HOPE The hope of anxious seniors Is that each will find his place, Serving his flag and his country VVhen called upon with grace. VVhen we go out into the world WVe take our place in the stand, Though to and fro we're hurled, We can rest assured we're planned. VVhen we march up to that honored place The object of speeches and praise We'll be the proudest of our race Having finished with every phase. ln this land of the brave and the free There are many who do ll0t seem to care But instead of despairing, let's keep on hoping And play life's game on the square. -DONALD M EYER 19 1

CLASS WILL QBILI, OF RIGI-ITsj The Senate CSeniorsJ and The House of Representatives C-Iuniorsj were gathered together for a joint meeting. The Supreme Court CFacultyJ was included in this momentous gathering. The gallery was crowded to capacity with anxious underclass- men. History was indeed in the making. Guides pointed out prominent statesmen to visitors. However, the most important statesman had as yet not arrived. Suddenly a hush came over the congressmen on the floor, it spread to the audience in the galler- ies. All eyes were focused toward the center isle. It looked as though-yes, it was his excellency, the President. As he proceeded down the isle toward the speaker's desk, the President nodded to many senators and representatives, his congenial smile ever present. In the President's possession was a legal document, which he carried to the speaker's desk. Opening the document he announced the purpose of the joint session, Bly friends, I have in my hand a legal document of utmost importance. This meeting has been called that I might make known to you its contents. Without more prelim- inary remarks I shall proceed to read the Senior Class Will of 1940: Realizing that as senior citizens of this democratic body we must soon venture forth to seek our place in other and more complicated orders of government, we, the graduating class of 1940, being declared sound of mind, present this our last will and testament and recognize no others. ARTICLE I A. To the school in general we do leave all that we can spare. B. To the senior class advisors we bequeath our thanks and appreciation for the time and effort you have spent in our behalf.

To the faculty we leave the remains of the school after the conclusion of our memorable career, with our heartfelt sympathy at the loss of such a brilliant class. ARTICLE II To the juniors, seniors of 19-11, we bequeath hopes that you will find as much pleasure and enjoyment in being seniors as we have. To you, Juniors, also do we leave our wonderful reputation, superiority complex, and dignity. ARTICLE III To the Sophomores we leave our hopes that you will become as exalted as we. You have truly shown yourselves capable in all of the activities you have participated in during both your freshman and sophomore years. May you continue to carry on as real statesmen, doing all things well. - ARTICLE IV - To the Freshmen we bequeath our shopworn tardy excuses and empty seats. May each be used sparingly and with care. CBe it known that we know that you use them anyway.j To you, also, do we leave high hopes that you will continue to dis- play the pep and enthusiasm in each of the remaining three years of your high school career as you have in your first year. ARTICLE V Individual bequests: A. To the athletic and commercial teams. we leave the privilege of gazing ad- miringly at the trophies in the hallway. B. To the Glee Club and band, we bequeath the ability to watch the leader and audience at the same time. C.

Finally, we do hereby name and appoint our advisors as executors of this, our last will and testament. In witness thereof we, the class of 1940, the testator, have set our hand and scal on this twenty-fourth day of May in the year of 1940. Senior Class 13
