CLASS WILL E, Tl-IE Class of 1925, do hereby wish good luck, God speed, peace and prosperity to the prospective Senior Class of 1926. Therefore we do hereby will to them our hon- ored seats in the Assembly room fnotj because they can ever grace them as did the Class of 1925, but because they are next in line to occupy them. NVe also leave to the Class of 1926 our powerful and in- tellectual facial expression which we have gained during this, our last year of High School experience. This is a great leg- acy and none but those of experience along these lines can ever appreciate the magnitude of our generosity. For you, the Class of 1926, we save you excruciating laborg we also save for you what we fear you will never gain-intellectual facial expression. To the Faculty we will our appreciation for the help they have given us, that we might reach the goal toward which we have been struggling for four long years. To the Board of Education and members of the community who have made our school what it is today. we give our thanks for having the privilege of graduating from such a school.

Our play, it is true, drew one member from the the Senior class. but we were not forced to use a Freshman for our play as the Seniors have done. VVe recognize the fact that your class furnished more bas- ket ball players than did ours but of what force would they have been without that invincible back guard who stopped many a hostile basket. Also for the greater part of the bas- ket ball season a certain forward of ability and fame was a Junior. You say that the only member of the Girl's Athletic Asso- ciation to receive a large letter was a Senior. XVhen the Junior girls have as much training in athletics as said Senior. we, too. may boast of a Junior girl with a large letter of credit. Besides your membership in the Girl's Athletic As- sociation is smaller in number than ours. However we con- sider it unworthy to quibble with you over such matters. Since you have pointed out your glories I will take the privilege to mention a few of ours. Journey in your thoughts to the Assembly Hall, cast thine eyes upon the western wall and behold the magnificent banner bearing. in our beautiful blue and gold class colors, the letters, I-u-n-i-0-r--s. In vain may you search for a Senior banner for no such feat did the Seniors accomplish. Ah, excelled by juniors! In the Timlitso you have but a single representative while we have four. ln the Declamatory contest for this year no Senior's name appears. Three Juniors have engaged in this to uphold the honor of the school. XYe are the Seniors of to-morrow, and as such we extend a cordial invitation to each and every Senior to visit us next year and watch a model Senior class Step out from Timber High upon the street of Life. Despite your many faults it is with sorrow we see you leave our school so receive this Benediction from the Jun- iors. O noble Seniors. Farewell. D.-XLE XYHITMAX. CLASS PROPHECY VVAS sitting at the radio late one night listening in on the evening's program. Bored with the old stations l turned the dials in an effort to locate new ones. In vain: all were ones that I had heard before. At, last in desperation l turned the dials far out of the loud speaker. This is Father Time announcing from Station F-U-T-U-R-Il for the year of 1940. The program tonight will be for the benefit of the graduat- ing classes of 1925, many of whom I hope are listening in. Please stand by for a momentfl 'I was astounded. Here was something new and it bade fair to prove useful as well. In a moment the voice contin- ued. 'tFirst on the program we have the Class of 1925 of Timber Township High School. Margaret Barber's quietness and her ability to write a neat handwriting won for her a position as private secretary to a large business man. a rich Eastern stock broker. It is rumored that she is soon to become more than a secretary to hi1n. Erwin Brougham was noted for his oratorical ability in his history classes. lt was said that he gave the Gettysburg ad- dress better than did Lincoln himself. He studied law for a while and then took up the ministry. He is now a famous evangelist whose sermons daily turn thousands from the primrose path to the straight and narrow way. Theodore Clauson has become a comedian. His ability to

Also our thirst for knowledge and the brilliant ways in which we work our minds. Second. to the Sophomores we give the beauty and extraordinary good looks of our class. But we advise you not to get the big head. Third, to the Juniors, the duty of keeping Timber Township High School on the map, and our devotion to our teachers. These we bequeath as a class, and to the individuals, as follows: You will need our note-books all through the year, so a- gain we show our kind thoughtfulness for your welfare and leave for your personal use and guide our Physics note- books. Poor Juniors, they need them. A gentleman true, faithful and studious, is Dale of the Junior class. VVe exalt him as worthy to follow in our foot- steps and also carry the honor of the Class of 1926. This we will him because we bequeath him all the high grades from the Seniors. To Pat we leave an extra seat beside the one which he shall occupy, so that his ever ready-steady may be always by his side. To one of the fair ones of the junior Class, Miss Baty, with complexion and hair of strawberries and cream. we leave as our parting gift the unbashfulness of the Senior girls. Mildred Schoon, the coquette and flirt and the heart-break- er of the Junior Class, has all that her heart desires except Robert, so to her care and keeping we intrust him. To Jack, the handsome man of the junior Class of 1925, We leave our energy and our vim, so that he need not exert himself nor spoil his complexion in getting his studies. To Golda and Fay we bequeath the two first seats, so that their sisterly love may be carried on into their Senior year. To Robert we bequeath the gallantry of the Senior boys for the fair sex, and the basket ball ability of Jesse Nuhn. To Helen Tindall. we bequeath the goat of the Class of 1925, so that she may have a means of conveyance in her homeward journey without bothering anyone. Bernice Tindall leaves her rights as yell leader to Violet Tindall, and her over-weight to Amelia. To Mildred Northrup we leave a pair of four-buckle over- shoes to be used in bad weather when Dale's Ford canlt go. To Gladys Fuller we give all stray wads of chewing gum and one box of face powder and a looking glassfthe mirror as an aid to her in distinguishing powder from chalk dust. Now comes our Bill, the singer and the affectionate member of the Junior Class of 1925. His affection for all the girls in general and none in particular makes us supply his needs by willing to him all the girls of the Freshman andiSophomore Classes. Cfordon's bashfulness is almost pathetic. so we bequeath him an armor of steel to ward off any of Cupid's darts that are liable to fly about the members of the Senior Class. Last but not least. comes the unsophisticated Dawne- the sweet and unpretentious Dawnefto her we do hereby will the care, the guidance and the good name of the Class of 1925. May she keep the boys and girls from late hours and superfluous moonlight rambles. This is our last will and testament, and we hereby nominate and appoint Prof. Dickey as executor, and require him to give a bond of hve moral lectures a week for the faithful discharge of his duties as such executor. Tn testimony thereof. we have set our hands this 28th day of May, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-Hve. CLASS OF 1925. li. R. B. 1
