James Doran leaves to next years second five on the varsity gquad a deck of cardg to use at basketoall games. Ruth Rice leaves her ability to be a good Homemaklng student to Helen DeRos1a. Harriett Welch bequeaths her economics book to any apprec- iative individual. Roland Salisbury bequeaths to the Junior boys several girls addresses in Whltesboro. Lynn Burch bequeaths to Mr. George Kirby his Little Orphan Annie ring so that he may see behind him. It will be noticed that we have left bequests to all the classes except the present Freshman Class which will soon be known as the Sophomore Class. We have left them nothing because by that time their self-valuation will have reached such heights that nothing in our possession would be regarded by them as worthy of their distinctions. To our dear school building itself we, the Senior Class, bequeath the peaceful quiet caused by our absence and any wade of gum, apple cores, or crumpled notes that we have left behind. LEST YOU FORGET Washlngton's a monument, Wash1ngton's a square, Washington's an institute, And a thoroughfare. Washington is even more: College, liner, bridge, District, city conference, State and maybe ridge-- Wash1ngton's so numerous, Shades of Valley Forge! Few there are Who now connect Washington with George! --Saturday Evening Post
