THE SENIOR YEAR BOOK 21 Wil- ,ff 1- -1 :levy craft piloted by Margaret Gilchrist and designed by Emily King who also drew the plans for the Comet in which Esther Chapman will, in the near future, attempt to fly to the moon. Esther has made careful calculations and says she cannot possibly miss the earth's satellite. She plans to induce some of the lunar inhabitants to make the return trip with her that she may introduce a new species of luna- tics on this earth. I now visualize a soda fountain with Dorothy Havens and Mary La Pere behind it, juggling the soft drinks. What drinks they are, to be sure, originating as if by magic from the clever minds of the mixers. And what can this be? None other than Louis Morrone in his garage hard at work on a 1910 Ford. Louis always did like to play with his cars and wagons in his younger days and evidently has still retained his boyish mind. Ruth VanVleck is next revealed as champion flapjack turner in Dooley's Famous Chain Restaurants, owned and operated by Catherine Dooley. A similar vision presents it- self in the person of Elizabeth Bellamy, lecturing at Home Lovers' meeting. It is a pleasure to see how all three girls have profited by the experience gained in Miss Hope's Do- mestic Science classes. And what can this be? Oh, bless my wine-glass who could have fallen as low as that? Why it's Reginald Lamb, who has become captain of the Leviathan and is taking ad- vantage of his opportunities. Oh, Reginald! You used to be able to distinguish between your opportunities. But hark, I think a call! It must be my termagant wife summoning me home. I shall have to hurry on, for as I re- member it, she was inclined to be hot-tempered and after these long years of separation probably has a great store of wrath ready to vent upon my offending person. I dread to face her, but she commands my presence. I will go to her, lest anger be augmented through her having to seek me out! Come on, Wolf! . Byron McCoy

THE SENIOR YEAR BOOIQ 23 MBI- MN lass Will J :ef 5 J ','aibT,' We, the Class of 1929, realizing that our days of studi- ous endeavor at this beloved institution of learning are ap- proaching their end, are deeply desirous of finishing our school life in as orderly a manner as we have always con- ducted it. We, the Class of 1929, being fully possessed of sound mind, memory, and understanding do make, publish and declare this to be our last will and testament, revoking and pronouncing void all wills, or won'ts formerly made by us. Moved by a noble spirit of benevolence and charity, we do hereby dispose of our various possessions and effects, such as second-hand deficiency slips and crippled fountain pens, after the following manner: Item One-To next year's Freshmen we give and be- queath the following warnings: 1. Wisecracks from Freshmen are superfluous. 2. If you cannot find Room 2, ask some Sophomore to go to the office and find out for you where it is located. 3. Heed the Faculty's sage advice and do not stray near the pool room lest a shortage of cue balls cause you to lose your head. Item Two-To the Freshmen we give and bequeath per- mission to properly introduce the Class of 1933 into the school. We might add that H,0, applied copiously from the collar up is very beneficial to those afflicted with swell- ing of the head, also that the Faculty is particularly partial to those who perform this major operation. Item Three-To the Sophomores we render the follow- ing words of wisdom: Always study hard, attempt to re- strain your youthful exuberance, and try to maintain an air of conscientious sobriety so that when you have at last at- tained the pomp and responsibility of being Seniors, you
