FOURTH: We give and bequeath to the dear faculty, who have been our instructors in all the wisdom of the ages, a sweet and unbroken succession of rest- ful nights and peaceful dreams. No longer need. they lie awake through the long watches of the night to worry over the uncertainty of whether this one is doing her night work, or that one will have her mathematics in morning class, or the other one will remember every iron-clad rule of compositional technique in the preparation of her essay. It has been a hard strain on them, Efor Seniors are said to be at all times and under all conditions difficult to manage. But they have all done their duty, and verily, now shall they have their well-earned reward. FIFTH: To the High School as a whole, we leave, not of necessity, but of our own free will, our blessings-tender memories of our pleasant associations to- gether and our forgiveness for any thingwe may not have exactly appreciated in the demonstrations of the past, and a .pledge of friendship from hencenforth and forever. SIXTH: The following may seem trifling bequests, but we hope they may be accepted, not as worthless things lavishly thrown away because we can no longer keep them, but as valuable assets to those who may receive them, and a continual 1'eminder of generosity of heart displayed in our free and full bestowal. SEVENTH: We do hereby constitute and appoint Mr. Bevens sole executor of our last will and testament. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, We, the Class wolf '24, the testators, have to this, our Will, w.ritten on two sheets of parchment, set our hands and seal this fifteenth day of April, Anno Domino, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-four. -0 -o--e--o--o--o--o--o--o--o--o--q--Q--q--o--o--o-- --o--Q--v-0--of-o--o--o--o--m 1 9 2 4 ,..,..... .....,.....g.....q..,..4..........................g..,..,..,..,..,..,.

MNVV H.S.r + CLASSIUUJPHECY' In the hours between daylight and darkness I was seated in an arm chair before a glaring fire. The shadows of my room seemed to give place to the darkened interior of a vast theater. I forgot my surround- ings, and before my eyes appeared something which resembled the screen. Across this flitted the faces of my well known class mates. The first one who appeared on the screen was Carl Kelsey, who had achieved fame as an electrical engineer. The next scene was of a large concert hall, and I could see by the enthusiasm manifested by the audience that the musician was a popular favoritte. I was delighted to see that she was Ioan Talley. The scene now shifted to that of an opera room. Miss Cassie Linihan, who had become a grand opera singer, was holding the attention of the audience. Again appeared upon the screen another classmate, whose name was Dale Grindle, who had become famous as a traveling salesman. Another scene appeared in which Verna Gambrel was the center of attraction. She had become a famous suffragist and was speaking to a large audience. The scene of a school room was next and the smiling face of Beulah Mudd. There was just a sufficient shade of seriousness to show that her conscience was in her work and that she would teach goodness as well as worldly success. The next scene was of a man, and I saw the familiar face of Andrew Rohmiller, who had ltecome a noted athlete. Another school room now appeared whose teacher was Veta Billelo, and her contented appearance convinced me that she was an ideal teacher. The next scene was in China. with a tall, slender woman picking tea leaves. I soon saw she was Ruby VValton, who had become a foreign mis- sionar . Aiiother scene which impressed me very much was that of John Foust, who was comfortably seated in a room of a beautiful farm home. and who should I see sitting by the lireside with him but Veva Hendrix. Both seemed comfortable. The scene now changed to a large department store and who should I see as head clerk but Esta XVheatly. She had patiently worked her way to that position. Now appeared the scene of a quaint milliner shop in Paris, whose de- signer was no other than Helena Parker. The scene now flashed to an important center called Holleywood, California, where I discovered that Ray Newman had become one of the leading comedians of the movies. Bertha Burton next appeared upon the scene as a manicurist in a beauty parlor. The next of the many changing scenes was a nurse, clad in her white uniform, who was no other than Ethel Curry. The last scene was ot' Margaret Vandermark, who had become a home economics teacher in a large high school. The darkness of the theater again gave place to the shadows of my room. As a stick of wood rolled down and I awoke, dazed, for I knew I had been premitted to glimpse into the unknown and had seen the future lives of my class mates. W M-1924aM. Wwmmwm
