1 'I'I-IE CARDI AL '-'g- SENIOR WILL VVe, the distinguished and capable members of the Class of '29, know that we must pass into that unknown realm beyond the school walls and do have some possessions and abilities that cannot be taken with us. VVe, therefore, have de- cided to will these to our lower classmates so they may still he in the VVarrensburg High School. We, the Class of '29, do, as is the custom of the Seniors, leave unto the vari- ous classes as a whole some worthwhile things. To the Freshmen, the Seniors leave a blessing that will follow them through- out school life. To the Sophomores, some of our dignity, for they are getting well along in life and will need it. To the juniors, the responsibilities that we handled so well this year. Each person of the class feels it his duty to leave some of the possessions that he is noted for. I, Clarence Elder, do will my rightfully-earned 'fworld's record broad grin to Marguerite Koons. I, Ivetta Kerwood, bequeath my silver-plated tool kit to Doris Jobeg therein will be found a windshield wiper and an anti-glare compound to be applied to the nose. I, Luther Paxton, do will my position as assistant principal to Nelson Vaughn. I, Lucille Koons, leave my ability to lead yells very hilariously to Marguerite Fawcett, remembering her attempt at the class tournament. I, Harold Sheneman, give to Obie Young my bewildering blush, hoping that he uses it as effectively as I have. I, Velma Schroeder, bequeath some of my surplus weight to Bonnie Kruzan. I, Otis Barclay, leave a ready answer to all questions to Arthur Fox. I, Josephine Kruzan, will all of my poetic ability to Everett Brown. I, Owen Barclay, do give my position as high-pointer on the basketball team to Gene Willard. . I, Sarah Glancy, leave my ability as a typist to my sister as I want to keep it in the family. I, Christy Albert, bequeath my towering stature to Nathan Brown. I, Velma Baum, do will to Gene Simpson my high chair, for he acts as if he needs one. -2I-

CON TRADICTION Christy Albert's a bashful lad, Who's always good and never bad. He comes to English every day And sits so quietly. Has nothing to g 'i:'I'I-Il-Z CARDINALQL say. He always minds the teacher's rule, And never has to stay after school. Of course boys like Christy are far too few, So good, kind-hearted, and so true, But if we all were just like he Models of perfection we would be. JOSEPHINE KRUZAN ODE TO WITS To these learned sarcastic wits That try to give me all kinds of fits I now try to tell just how I'd appreciate a little row VVith anyone that has the nerve to t To belittle such a person as I. C ENGLISH CLASS English Class - VVithout which you cannot pass, In which you are as green as grass, And all but the teacher realizes, Of all the sad surprises, There's nothing to compare NVith studying hard on lessons, Then to have her give you the air. HAR A LAMENT Mr. Orr has quit, I wish he'd stay, Until I no longer sit In school all the day. The new principal, I fear, Is a married ripg And he lets hair appear Upon his upper lip. But it is no use, For he's been hired. Even if he is a ruse, He probably can't be fired.
