• Y II S He also wills that ‘darky” grease paint and wig that he used in the play last year to Gertrude Jones. Now 3he can doll all up and be that “Bootiful Black Angel” and Miles will have another Pendy to make love to. Kate Longmire leaves Bob Wilson a fudge recipe so that he can keep Violette’s temper sweet, thus avoiding showers of flat irons, kettles and dishes as otherwise might result. Marianne Crispin wills her basketball trunks to Clara Carlo. She says they are kind of ragged since the tournament over at Dallas Center but that won’t hurt anything. Pauline Snyder leaves Everett Hbugham the national heavyweight title for ptrize fighting that she won not so long ago with instructions not to kill anyone. Ernest Duprez says that since he’s pushed a lawn mower around so many times in the Senior Class .play he’s finally found out which end of a lawn mower you push and he wills this secret together with his specs and red hair to Carroll Smity. Now wasn't Ernest kind, Carroll? Arloe Berg, alias Percy, wills his book “How to be Dominant” to Dean Clark and says it would be a good idea to practice on taming Dorotha. Bur-ton Shannon wills his red necktie and his dhort stature to Hugh Clark. Charles Carlo will give his aristocratic strut to John Cunningham very willingly. Miles Sines wills his reckless driving to Henry Leonard because he never has any wrecks. “Is that O. K.?” chorused the class. “Perfect.” answered Mr. Bone. “All right, then, it is ‘SWORN BY WE, THE CLASS OF 1931, OF WAUKEE HIGH SCHOOL, ON MARCH 30, 1931 .” 19 3 1

 II s - Class Will A great sign, swinging over the gloomy little side street, proclaimed that in this building, Darius A. Bone, attorney-at-law, had his offices. It was early morning, and the little street had, up .to a few (moments ago, been deserted. Then a laughing group of Senior boys and girls, turned the corner and entered the .plain board building aforementioned. Again a drowsy quietness settled over the street. Suddenly clankety! thump! bang! A white milk truck swung around the corner on two wheels, rattled up the street and came to a quivering stop in front of Bone’s office. Tripping and stumbling Miles Sines emerged from the truck, fell up the curbing, and finally dashed up a stairway two steps at a time. “Gosh! Five minutes late,” he said to himself as he tried to slide into a seat quietly and succeeding only in falling over two pairs of feet and geeting his feet tangled in the carpet. He finally landed with a thump in an empty chair, then everything was quiet. Mr. Bor.e who had watched this performance in silent dignity now cleared his throat and began to talk. “Now,” he said, “We aie all here, we will proceed with the last will and testament of the class of 1931. As a group, what do you will to the succeeding class?” “Our remarkable intelligence,” said Marianne. “Ahem! Right as usual, Marianne,” said Miles. Let’s be generous and let them have the 1st two rows of seats in the assembly and all the wads of gum and thumb tacks stuck under them to .put to whatever use they deem most useful.” “Yes. But don’t use them like these guys do,” said Ernest rising and taking a thumb tack off the chair where he had been sitting. “Now what individual possessions do you will to the succeeding class?” asked Mr. Bone. “I gotta list of them here,” suggested Burton. He began to read : “Miles Sines wills a magnifying glass to Sammy Allen whom he hopes will carry on his work of exploring for lost wads of gum under the assembly desks. Kenneth Manders wills his “Model T” to June Cadwell because he thir.tas she needs to rduce and! his Ford is better than an expensive reducing machine. Evelyn Stump says her graduation will make it necessary for her to give up her shares in Hunter and Stump Co., so she wills them to Alice Lee Smith. Violette McKinney made a remark the other day that Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” so Beulah Jump says Violette can have her .blonde beauty if she wants it. Evelyn Graham leaves her vocal talents to Floyd Davis because his voice has such depth and volume, especially volume, that he can’t help but be a “boy who made good.” She also wills to Ben- ny Merical her declamatory ability. “Speak up and express yourself, Ben.” Leo Butler wills his various girl friends in Adel, Dallas Center, DeSoto, etc., to Ray Kennedy and says, For heavens sakes, Ray, don’t get their names mixed up, unless you want a fight on your hands.” Arloe Berg gives that flivver he had a couple of summers ago to Junior Bennett. Did you ask “Where will you call for it ” Junior? Arloe says he isn’t exactly sure just where he did leave it, but you’d better get a magnifying glass and search the ditches of the locality. Esther Huston wills her dancing ability to Mervin Eoll because she says she thinks he’d lock cute in a fluffy short pink dancing dress and baby bonnet. She also says she thinks he'd! make such a dainty fairylike .ballet dancer. Also, speaking of dancing, Miles Sines wills his dancing ability and the beautiful costume he wore in “Dance of Spring” to Burton Hunter. He says Dorotha can have the evening gown and pearl beads and ear rings for her banquet outfit. i n i

Heaven W H S A Raid on Scene — Up in Heaven. Time — 6 A. M. Characters — St. Peter and Memibers of the Senior class. Curtain Rises — St. Peter opens his eyes, stretches yawns, and reaches over to shut off the alarm clock. He looks out the window and gives a gasp of astonishment as he sees the whole Sr. class waiting to be admitted through heaven’s pearly gates. He jumps out of bed, grabs his record book, and rushes out. Leo Butler walks up to him and says Howdy, howdy, folkses all I’ve come from earth afar To enter heaven and get a harp In place of my guitar.” St. Peter looks him over then says: If I should let you in Before the clock strikes seven All your girls from Adel and Dallas Would want to come to heaven.’’ Kenny walks up and shakes hands with St. Peter like he was a pump and his arm a pump handle. Says: Hello, St. Pete, How are you today? I’ve sure worked hard getting here, Gosh! I hope I’ll stay.” St. Peter shook his head, looked at Kenny with a frown, then said, 'Tm afraid you can’t get in less we tear the gates down. Besides I’ve heard from all the boys. They said at basketball games you passed the ball so hard you made half of ’em lame. Then what’s this I hear about you teasing all the girls, making Esther .fall down and pulling Violette’s curls?” •Miles walks up, stumbles on St. Peter’s foot and hits his pet corn. “Ouch!” says St. Peter, gives (Miles a dirty glare. Miles sidles right up to him and gives him stare for stare. St. Peter says to him, “You great big awkward brute. I’ve got a real good notion to send you down the chute.” “Oh, woodman, spare this tree”, cries Miles in great despair. “I’m afraid' I’ll tear my breetches a slicing down that stair.” St. Peter says, “For just this time, I’ll let you through the door although in History class you always used to snore.” Ernest straightens his tie then walks up to St. Peter. “I hear up here in heaven the grass grows very long and thought you’d ned a lawn mower pusher among the angelic throng. St. Peter eyes Ernest awhile then says, “While you -were a grocer boy a working by the hour, you sent a lady soap chips when she ordered pancake flour.” Marianne walks up and says, “Pleased to meetcha, St. Peter. Now that long dresses are stylish I thought I’d come up for a while and get me some long flowing robes so I can be right up in style.” St. Peter says, “Tf a should let you in would you really stay and not be running down to Osceola every cay?” 19 3 1 h
