WALENlANis WILL E, the members of the Senior Class of the Valparaiso High School, in the year of our Lord, 1929, do hereby make fitting arrangements for our impending departure. At the time of the composition and si gning of this, our last will and testa- ment, we are blessed with normally good health and intelli- gence. Said will has been drawn up with careful consideration for the needs of each beneficiary named herein. Thus we bequeath : 1. Our loyal class spirit, our high average of intelligence, and our ability to gain the esteem of instructors to the oncoming class of seniors. 2. Jerry Beach ' s sax to young Ezrie Snell Beach. Now the la- tent talent will burst forth. (Though heaven help the neighbors!) 3. The knowledge of current events in Valpo, that Ray Nichols and Billy Philley possess, to our beloved faculty. 4. Emile Prince ' s immunity to feminine glances to the amorous Goop Bright. 5. The driving ability of Violette Richards, Marion Filgiano, and Helen Rathjen to Marion Anderson, so that the lives of our pedestrians may be preserved. 6. The laurel-winning attributes of Kate Stinchfield and Lloyd Ed- inger to the worthy Abe Black, who never wins anything, not even candy on a punch board. 7. The Bosse twins ' mutual opinion of little Eddie Bosse to the members of the basketball team to serve as an incentive in their battles. 8. Butler Lindall ' s attraction for the girls to Howdy Goetz, because nobody loves a fat man. 9. Bill Howard Brummitt ' s mastery of words to Dave LaRue, so that he can keep in the future good graces of Miss Weatherwax. 10. Johnny Wise ' s winning smile to Charles Ault, who hasn ' t smiled once since the first week of school. 11. Gerald Brown ' s luxuriant hair to the unfortunate Charlie Rickard. 12. The singing ability of Estella Wyman and Verneeta Hock to Joe Urschel, in view of the fact that poor Joe ' s only accomplishment seems to be the gentle one of ear-wriggling. 13. Elizabeth Fyfe ' s captivating ways to Sleepy Bond. Now, Sleepy, get to work and capture a few good grades. 14. Ruth Glover ' s crowning glory of golden hair to the fiery headed Rolland Burkhard and her sweet disposition, too, for Burkie is tempera- mental we heai ' . 15. Bill Allerton ' s self-approval to Hank Waldorph. 16. Lois Higlcy ' s quiet charm to Anna Mae Steward. 17. Loreine Thatcher ' s self-effacing ways to Chrystabel Hobbs; may- be we had better add Musa Walker ' s silence, too. P(igc Twenty-eight

39. Langdon Murvihill ' s good disposition to tlie belligerent Joe Tofte. 40. Cordelia Lytle ' s distinct enunciation to Maxine James. Now Miss Hudson won ' t have to lecture any more on that subject. 41. Herb Deer ' s good looks to any youth who wishes to be some girl ' s big moment. 42. Don Marshall ' s dark eyes to Gabby Pulver. Somehow we have always yearned to see Gabby with black eyes. 43. Bob Ritz ' s contempt for good grades to Phyllis Bailey. 44. Hershel Seymour ' s tennis-playing ability to Bennie Schenck. 45. Arthur Erickson ' s neat locker to the hapless Arthur Raelson, whose books have a disconcerting little trick of bounding off of his head whenever he opens his locker. 46. Sigman Derman ' s quiet application to his work during library periods to Bob Lytle. 47. Clarence Henderlong ' s loyal support of the Democratic party to a few ardent Republicans, thus to relieve the monotony of school. 48. Dorothy Palmer ' s store of general knowledge to those struggling Sophs., who are always undergoing some phase of the Iliad and who still think the thing is written in Greek. 49. Marian DeWitt ' s ability to withstand frigid weather to Marjorie Sheley, who considers our heating plant a myth. 50. Avis Strong ' s proficiency in shorthand to Mary Jane Harris, who is forever bewailing the day when she entered that class. 51. Crystal Danielson ' s big, brown freckles to Virginia Moreland. 52. Dear little Cheub Christy ' s unparalleled collection of pencil stubs to any other connoisseur of such things. 53. Irl Miskimins ' manly stride to Tom Daly, whose walk is hardly to be identified as such. 54. Kenneth Mosher ' s athletic build to rather corpulent Tom Lytle. Really, Tom, something must be done to preserve our gym-furnishings. 55. Herb Hinkle ' s determination to graduate to Rex Groves, who quits school on an average of twice a term. 56. Alice Schellinger ' s admirable patience to the long suffering Char- lotte Glover to help her find the good in typing. We hereby appoint Miss Vera L. Sieb as executrix of this, our last will and testament. In witness whereof, we, the Seniors of 1929, have here- unto subscribed our signature and affixed our seal on this 27th day of May in the year of our Lord, 1929. — The Seniors of 1929. Witnesses : C. 0. Pauley C. W. Boucher Crystal Danielson. Par e Thirl]
