The Chipmunk Page Fifteen Senior Class IDill and Testament We, the Senior class of the Westwood High School, believing ourselves to be fully encumbered with all necessary knowledge, and on the verge of depart- ing from the portals of this worthy institution, do hereby draw up this last will and testament. As a class, we do will our ability to run all Student Body meetings to Ellis Minshall: our Senior Study Hall to the future Senior class, hoping they find better use for it than we have; and to the faculty we express our sincerest sym- pathy for losing such a clever class. Individually and separately we do hereby will the following articles: I, Laura Chaffin, do will my avoirdupois to Fred Drake, my chemistry marks to Toots Felion, and my quiet ways to the Martin Twins. I. Clay Fisher, do will my renowned and famous laugh to Victor Scnm- mon, my good looks to Oliver Torgerson, and my ambitious executive ability to Dreamy Somerville. I. Clyde Easley, do will my Southern accent to Marion Huggins, my ability to study the wrong history lesson to any one who needs a good excuse, and my mustache to Jesse Swaim. I, Rosemma Priest, do will my unmitigated nerve to Nettie Perini (although she doesn't really need it), my ability for talking fast to Margaret Gormanly, and my art of blushing to Myrtle Fuller. I, Rudolph Klotz, do will my ability to crab in Student Body meetings to any one who feels that way. my art of getting along with Miss Lord to Earl Lane, and my ego to Milton Rosentreter. I, MaryAnn Martin, do will my ability to get ice on approval to any one who will try it, my marvelous game of tennis to Bosco Sangster, and my ability to get placed on eats” committees to Una Durham. I, Hugh Adams, do will my oratorical powers to Fred Atkins, my sweet temper to Frances Hewitt, and my views on women to any hard-boiled pessimist. I, Alice Swaim, do will my musical giggle to Buelah Lowe, my jet black hair to Ellis Minshall. and my unsurpassed calm I will keep, believing no one else capable of upholding it. I, Fred Davis, do will my high-powered intelligence to Patricia Pratt, my ability to run after the girls to Howard Costar, and my Ford remodeling ability to Del Chipman. I, Angeline Petterson, do will my red hair to Dick Brown, my sarcasm to Viola Fuller, and my indifference to Bill Corbett and Helen Morrison. I, Leona Summers, do will my ability to create excitement for the sixth period mechanical drawing class to the next circus that comes to town, my punctuality to Luboff Helmich, and my baby stare to Audrey Sangster. —L. S., 25.

Page Fourteen The Chipmunk did read the newspaper much anyway, so I guess I had better tell you. Mary Ann has just completed a world tour of tennis tournaments, defeating all her opponents: and Angie is one of the biggest hits in Ziegfeld's Follies, doing fancy roller skating. ‘‘I don’t suppose you’ve heard of Alice, either. She was an actress for a while but didn't like it much and the last I heard of her she had gone to Russia and married a Russian prince,—or some kind of nobility. I hat was nearly five years ago so if she's like Leona, you can’t tell where or what she is now.” It’s been almost eight years since I heard from Leona, I interrupted. Well, during those eight years it has been very, very hard to keep track of her. She got a job on the Literary Digest joke staff, and she has been sued for libel so many times by people who thought the shoe fitted too quick, that now she adopts a new alias and moves to a new apartment every three weeks. The last I heard of her, she was known as the Countess Kickoff of Minnehaha Falls Inn.” Well, there's not much I can say for myself, except that I went to work as a living advertisement for the Wig-Wag Gum Company, but I found that standing on the corner of Market and Geary in San Francisco all day chewing gum made it impossible for me to talk after hours, and I became so despondent I came down here to L. A. to catch one sight of my idol. Mary Pitchfork, before I ended it all. But the sight of the Skipper surprised me so, that my power of speech seems to have returned entirely.
