CLASS WILL Mary Corn We, the members of the Senior Class of 1923, of the Warrens-burg Community High School, being of sound mind and memory and understanding, realizing that our sojourn in High School is about ended, and wishing to make perpetual our personalities in the recollection of our High School friends, do make and affirm our last will and testament in manner and form following: To the Board of Education, we do hereby bequeath our most profound appreciation and grateful thanks for all privileges and favors granted us. To the Juniors, our aspiring successors, we give the back row of desks in the study hall, trusting that their behavior when occupying same will be such as can be recommended as a good example for the Freshmen, as ours has always been. To the Sophomores, we bequeath our dignified dispositions and request that when they no longer need them that they be bestowed upon their successors, the Freshmen. To the dear little Freshies, we bequeath our ability to attract the attention of the presiding teacher of the Study Hall. Lastly, we, the members of the class of 1923, bestow upon the following people the following things which we trust will be an aid to them in their journey through life: I, Harold Dresfcach, confer upon Orville Robinson my methods for becoming the foremost ladies’ man in the history of the school. To Archie Spitzer, I bequeath my studious disposition, realizing that it will be useful to him in his voyage through high school. I. Irvin Schroeder, do bequeath my dignified and quiet nature to Charles Winegarner. I bestow upon Herbert Kerwood my secret for keeping my hair neatly plastered down, in order that he may profit by the same. I, Miriam Baumgartner, confer upon Jesse Burdine my fondness for chewing gum in school and hope that she escapes detection as well as I. I bestow that fortune which has aided me in seventeen years of life to Ruth Senour, that she may avoid the many hardships imposed by life upon us fragile people. I, Mary Corn, do bequeath to Elsie Lehn the sole right to have her hair bobbed. To Rena Rogers I give the privilege of going to classes with a shiny nose. We, the members of the class, nominate and appoint the Junior Class sole executor of this, our last will and testament. Signed: Miriam Baumgartner Harold Dresbach Irvin Schroeder Mary Corn

CLASS PROPHECY Upon the film of my mind A faint sight is revealed Of future lines and where we find Our classmates in their work concealed. When first the vision comes to me I see a multitude of men, Each one in notes of joyful glee Playing in sweet harmony. And as the leader of this band I see a man, so stalwart stand H. M. Dresbach, you can guess, Is the man above the rest. Then as the vision again grew near I saw Irvin Schroeder, an engineer, Mounted high on scaffold or bar. Building Dresbach Music Seminar. Across many wastes the vision flew And there sat a lady, do you know who ? Miriam Baumgartner whom I knew when a boy, Now Congresswoman of Illinois. Cnee more to roam o’er hill and vale The vision of tomorrow’s tale Brought Mary near in time for tea She’s now Doctor of Philosophy. IRVIN SCHROEDER
