We, the noble Senior Class of January, 1919, of West High School,. City of Rochester, County of Monroe, being of sound and disposing mind! and memory, do hereby make and publish this our last Will and Testa- ment, in order, as justly as may be, to distribute our interest in the school among our succeeding fellow students. Item I. To Mr. Jonner we wish to leave a carton of Camels, which are to be passed to Seniors only, when they come in late. This is the most approved method of sending anyone “to blazes.’ Item II. To Carol Jones we bequeath a book entitled “How to Become' Beautifully Slender,” written by Ruth Wickens. Item III. To Mr. Sias we bequeath Frank Leach’s grin, which will gives him a cheerful aspect when requesting anyone’s absence from school. Item IV. To Miss Manchester we leave a hox. of pink powder to brighten her up on “blue Mondays. ' Item V. To the Juniors w« leave our brilliant record in all activities and hope they will profit by it. Item VI. To the Sophs we leave the benches in the corridors but wish to warn them they are “hard” to sit on. Item VII. To the Frosh we bequeath the “Winged Victory” (if they know what it is) in hopes it will spur them on to get a-head. Item VIII. To the. whole school we leave the glorious Service Flag of 420 stars, many of which represent boys from the Class of January, 1919. Given under our hand and seal on this sixteenth day of January in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and nineteen. THE CLASS OF JANUARY, ’19.

THE SENIOR OCCIDENT 27 moth plants of the Oliver Reynolds Co. The machine was being put thru a series of maneuvers by the clever aviatrix, Mildred Garrison. Near the entrance to Agricultural Hall, Miss Inez Hubbard was in charge of the display of Burdick Scentless onions, champion seedless squashes and the quart—a stalk—cobless corn, all perfected at the farms of Wm. Arthur Burdick. The seductive charms of Rosamonde Fahy were effective in gathering a large crowd about the snake charmer's kit. where Dorothy Schlegel lured at will, adders, rattlers, cobras and e’en the dread Boa-Constrictor. Senator Wm. Clark in open-eyed wonder gazed upon this spectacle, attracting the recognizing glances of Loraine Osborn, matron of the Chi- cago Orphan Asylum, Katherine Beard, private secretary to Bessie Milder, manager of the millinery department of Turner Lindenberg, and Emily Bennett, governess to a wealthy family on Lake Shore Drive. At Popp's Inn, all was well. The patrons of this establishment were •enjoying the mild beverages, therein dispensed, without exception. It was a most Democratic crowd. Miss Helen Belknap, candidate for Mayor of Rochester, N. Y., Miss Madeleine Housman, head of the department of foreign languages of the University of Chicago, Misses Esther Hall and Olive Wallace, teachers of Ancient History and Biology respectively, and Nevclle Jones, architect, whose latest achievement was the construc- tion of a cat palace for Miss Catherine Robbins, fancier. In the evening at the theater, from their boxes, Ethlvnne Gillette, short story writer, Earl Grover, illustrator, Bessie Armstrong, in charge of the Newbury library and Mildred Cornwall, director of the Chicago •College of dramatic art, witnessed the inimitable dancing and singing ol the Misses Dorothy Ren wick and Edith Milliman. In conclusion, it is gratifying to be able to announce the complete recovery of Congresswoman Mary Elizabeth Daggs, at Sulphur Springs, from a most persistent ailment of flat feet incurred while running for office. The cure was accomplished in spite of the frequent and costly treatments of Doctor Murphy. Cakdl R. Livingstone. .. Tune—PERFECT DAY When you come to the end of your high-school days: And you think “Will I graduate”; And your name goes down on the doubtful list, And you shake in your boots with fear; Do you wonder, what Mother and Dud will say, When they find that you may not pass? But your heart swells up on the final day, When you know you are safe at last. Genevieve Mahoney.
