Also having in our possession an over-flowing amount of valuable knowledge and fine qualities (mental, physical and moral), ideas, over-stuffed dignity, super- human intelligence, etc., we do hereby make, certify and publish this, our last will and testament. We further certify that this is our last will and testament, mak- ing all others null and void. Collectively, we dispose of our properties and possessions to various memkers of the faculty, classes, etc., as follows: Firstly, to Mr. Wicks and the other members of our faculty, we bequeath our life-long respect and admiration for their guid- ing hand in our four years of high school education. Secondly, we ask the Juniors to create the dignified atmosphere in the Student Body, created heretofore this year by us. Thirdly, we give this written permit to the Sophomore class, to be the smallest class in high school next year. Fourthly, we ask the Freshmen to try and acquire the ability to work their way around the faculty and think up alibis, that we did. Fifthly, to our underclassmen, we, as individuals will the fol- lowing: I, Janette Kindred, will one foot of my stately height, acquired in four years of high school grind, to Dorothy Peck. I, Ralph Bowen, will my position as fullback, wholeback, kick- back, and drawback, on the W. H. S. eleven, to John Mowick. I, Eunice Rowan, will my abi lity to get what I want when I want it by my engaging smile and wonderful personality, to Louise Scott. I, Fred Cook, will my Oakland to Adrien Bernier, in order that he (Ade) may take his girl for a ride. I, Ethel Mowick, will my latest hit ‘Confessions of a Man Hater” to Beth Kindred and Dulcie Lytsell. I, Arthur Siroy, will my way with the girls (?) and school marms to Mr. Propst. In witness, whereof we, the class of 1927, do place our hand and seal this 13th day of May, in the year one thousand, nine hundred and twenty-seven.

For that is what we termed it after spending eight years in grammar school. This class was the largest, then, that had ever entered W. H. S., and, of course, the best. This was proved by the way the Frosh entered into everything; whole-heartedly and sincerely. The fresh- man Class contributed members to all the athletic teams and the debate teams, as well as receiving the highest grades and best report cards during the entire year, which is rather unusual for a Freshman class. They also proved themselves to be the best work- ers in the student body, one of the Freshmen receiving the Grand Prize for selling the most subscriptions to the Country Gentleman The next year, 1924, twenty of the band returned to take th ir places in the Student Body as Sophomores. The members of the class were on record for all of the activities they had participated in the year before and in addition to those, we were honored by having one of our clan an officer of the Student Body and one on the Annual Staff. Also, the Sophomore Class mode the most money in the 1925 Hi-Jinx, having twice as much as any other class. When we again came rolling up the road in our schowl bus, and after we were ready to begin our work as ‘uniors, we were very troud to be called “The Best Ail Around Class” ia hign school, although we had lost several of our scudent3 and onr total was only fifteen. This year our class was even more peppy than in preceedine years, and won many awards and inter-class contests. On September 7, 1926, when all the students had assembled in the auditorium ready to begin another hard year’s work, and we, our last year of high school life, Lo! and Behold! only six of us remained. After getting over that shock we determined t3 settle down and do our very best with the smallest class in scho |1. But, alas! it could not be done with our lack of members and we have fallen a short distance behind, giving first place to the Juniors and taking second place ourselves. Nevertheless, no on can say that we have not done our uttermost to promote the goo:l welfare of Warrenton Hi. We shall graduate on May 13, 1927. one of the best if not the best Senior class that ever attended Warrenton High School.

Dear Beth: How did you ever stray so far away from Hammond and your mother, Beth? I thought when I left there that it was all decided and you were going to be in the army, if you know what I mean. Remember the last Sunday we went riding in that Studebake Pres- ident you used to have? But all this is not the purpose of my letter. I have been reading and hearing so much about all of my old classmates way back there in 1927 when I was a senior and you a Junior, that when I read in the Hululand Gazette that you were in Austria trying to get woman suffrage started there, I just had to write to you and tell you all about it. I just saw in the Hululand Gazette that Janette Kindred had been arrested for impersonating Queen Marie during her recent tour of South Africa. There was a personal frient, some Count or something, of Queen Marie's that Janette was rather interest- ed in, so while her Majesty was attending a ball Janette donned her robes and tried to pass as the Queen. It didn't work, however, because she forgot to die her blond hair and blue eyes. Fred Cook is down in South America, chief of a band of rebels. He always was sort of rebellious, wasn't he, Beth? The reason he is one of these chiefs is because they have to grow “Kiss-me quicks.”’ Ralph Bowen turned Marmon and has a harem now of nearly two hundred young turkies. Don't blame him, do you? Those turkies are “right smart’ to look upon. Eunice Rowan is over in Bulgaria, teaching the young burglars how to get what they want when they want it. Art Siroy, lets see, oh, yes he owns an ink factory. Manufac- tures stainless ink. Remember how he always used to throw ink on the poor girls’ dresses and then wash them for hours trying to get the stains out. Hope he succeeds. He'll need to. They say he has a large family—five girls and seven boys. As for me, I'm running an Armenian Baby Hospital. Just like me, isn't it?, Well, I'll have to quit writing now. I hear a litile voice squalling for all its worth. Your old friend, Toots.
