28 SCARLET AND GRAY CLASS WILL We, the members of the Senior class of the West LaFayette High School, knowing ' the uncertainty of life, and while still sound in mind and memory, do give, devise and bequeath what gifts and talents we deem un¬ necessary to carry forth into the world to our friends, as follows: 1. To the Junior class we leave our much carved seats in Room 13, also our highly treasured and slightly damaged chewing gum, which may be found on the under part of our desks. 2. To the faculty we leave our good intentions and our schemes for community welfare. 3. To the Sophomores we leave the right to pick ancient costume plays and make successes of them. 4. To the Freshmen we leave what little nerve is left us. 5. Personally: I, Louise Wolff, leave my calm and steady temper to Edna Andrews, hoping that it will work with a better effect than heretofore. I, Kenneth Myers, leave the school (whether I graduate or not) to Milo Young, with the hope that he will take good care of it. I, Edwin Bennett, leave my ability to talk all the time and say nothing to Burton Hollingsworth. I, Dolly Misner, leave my peroxide bottle to Elizabeth Burkle, with the wish that she will not use it too rashly. I, John Andrews, leave my growing tonic to Miss Jessup with the warn¬ ing that it is not to be taken in large doses. I, William Perkins, leave three unsuccessful love affairs as an example to all who may be thusly inclined. I, Marietta Stallard, leave my kid curlers to Alice Kent. I, Dwight Gordon, leave my ability to sleep in the assembly to Frederick Topping. I, Reggie Still, leave my fur-topped galoshes and my barbed wire hair net to John Jamison. I, Mable Peterson, leave the moth-eaten stuffing in my cootie-cages to Miss Thomas. I, Lucie Ramsay, leave the right to call the fire department when badly in need of a drink to Edith Ratts. I, Ray Coffing, leave to Mr. Gardner a pair of rubber-soled sneakers for use when greatly in need of information. We hereby appoint Miss McMahon as executor of this, our last will and testament. (Signed) CLASS OF TWENTY-THREE. The foregoing instruments written, signed and sealed before us, in the presence of each other, this first day of June in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and twenty-three. REGGIE STILL. WILLIAM PERKINS.

SCARLET AND GRAY 27 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1919, just one year after the world had laid down arms after fighting a long-fought battle, our class came into the High School to start the four long years of its battle with books; and we sincerely believe now that it is all but ready to be listed in our memories as past history; that we have fought a winning battle and one in which all the soldiers have loved their foes. From the very first we have been a very active and enthusiastic class in High School, and from the list of names appearing monthly on the honor roll you will agree that we hold no lowly position, inasmuch as scholarship is concerned. Our class, with the exception of a very few members, has re¬ tained the same loyal and faithful members since our Freshman year. We have worked together harmoniously all the four years to make our class the A No. 1 class of W. L. H. S. and to publish, as has been the aim of every preceding class, the “Best Annual Ever.” We started out our Senior year full of hope, and with resolutions to make our last year a fitting closing chapter to a glorious book. To be a Senior had been our highest ambition throughout the story of three years, and now that that ambition had been attained we set forth to make our mark on the sands of time. Early in the fall we elected our class officers and were very fortunate in selecting competent members to carry on the important duties which fall to the lot of every Senior class. In October we elected our staff for the Annual, and it began work in earnest immediately. We also selected a committee headed by Louise Wolff to supervise the cafeteria, after the games. By this means most of the money to defray the expenses of the Annual has been raised, and much credit is due to this committee for their splendid work. Just before school closed for the Christmas holidays a very pleasant evening was enjoyed by all at the High School in the form of a Christmas party, which was pronounced by all who attended as “some party.” Another important event which characterized our Senior year was the play, “The Rose of Plymouth,’’ presented the first of May, which came as a very pleasant surprise to all. The last week of school, while all the other studious pupils were diligently seeking for knowledge they had never possessed to pass their final exams., we Seniors were enjoying a most interesting Gala Week pro¬ gram. We will certainly never forget this one week of uninterrupted pleas¬ ures, thanks to the committee in charge. Last but not least of our achieve¬ ments we may name the publishing of this Annual, which we sincerely hope that you will read, not to criticise for the faults therein embodied, but for the merits which perchance it may possess.
