Senior Will Know all men by these presents: That we, the members of the Senior Class of Winamac High School, in the county of Pu- laski, and State of Indiana, considering the uncertainty of this life, and being of sound mind and memory, do make and declare, and publish, this our last will and testament. FIRST: We give and bequeath unto our beloved fellow- scholars the Juniors, our seats on the south side of the assembly room in the Winamac High School, to have and to hold the same throughout their remaining years. We, also, leave them the oversight of the incoming Freshmen, expecting them to be model examples, and to teach all beginners concerning proper conduct in halls, assembly room and on the play ground. SECOND: We give and bequeath to our beloved followers, the Sophomores, our excellent grades and marvelous deport- ment. THIRD: Upon the Freshmen, we bestow our abundant supply of playthings, to be used frequently, but not to fall into the hands of the teachers. FOURTH: To our teachers, we bequeath them our sincere sympathy during the future years. FIFTH: We give and bequeath to Thomas Jackson, William Mohr's pompadour, to be kept in perfect condition so as to give hc-ight to his personage. We bestow upon Elmer Long, Harry Smith's melo- dious voice and all profits and revenues therefrom, expecting it to influence him to be a second Caruso. To Lillian Cox, we bequeath Mable Morrison's red hair and fiery temper to aid and abet those same qualities which she now possesses and hope that she may eventually rival The Shrew in Shakespeare's drama. SIXTH: To Ross Wills, we give and bequeath Katie Braun's amiable disposition, reputation, excellent grades and good be- havior, to be used and exercised frequently. To Fay Miller, we give and bequeath a little of Agnes Grabner's stoutness, that she may grow and flourish. VVe bestow upon James Hoover the fluent tongue of Hon. ti. W. Key and expect. to hear it properly demonstrated in the House of l-lepresenlatives. SEVENTH: To Georgia Ream, we bequeath the body and soul of Thomas Smith, to be guarded from all dangers and dis- eases. We bequeath to Otho Biffle the business way and ideas of Dudley Diggs, to be used next year in publishing the annual. To James Keplar we bestow Jennings Vurpillat's privilege of protecting and adoring all members of the fair sex that may enter on the north side of the assembly room. EIGHTH: We do nominate and appoint the school board of the said Winamac High School to be the executor of this, our last will and t.estament. In testimony whereof, we hereunto set our hand and seal, and publish and decree this to be our last will and testament, in the presence of the Witnesses named below, this fourth day of May, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and fourteen.

Senior Eulogy It has been said there are three elements in High School life: society, athletics and education: that it is impossible to be pro- tlcient in more than two of these lines, and that the ilrst two are decidedly opposed to the third. Although this statement does not apply, to a great extent, to our own High School, because it is not so large, is situated in a smaller community, and composed of students from bo-th city and country-more the latter than the former-yet it holds good to a certain degree. The 'tsociety' part of our career has been its pleasant fea- ture. It has not been society in the true sense of the word, of which NV. H. S. has experienced little, it being limited to our jolly class parties, receptions, and a few other activities. It is the friendliness. good-fellowship and hearty co-operation of our rlassmates,and the fond l't'f'l'lllllSCGHSl?S of these associations we will cherish most after we have left its halls. liuriiig our four years in XV. H. S. xve have seen the gradual waning of her athletic prestige, due partly to lack of material and partly to t.he lack of interest on the part of the school and community. However, we have seen the introduction of bas- ketball, and enthusiasm displayed in good games and teams. But for the most part our class has been inconspicuous in these pursuits. It is in the last line, that of education, that the class has spent its energy and demonstrated its ability. For a class of our size we have been industrious and reliable in the way of getting our tasks and getting them well ever since We were Freshmen. In Langauge. Algebra, Geometry, Physics and English we have particularly shown our knowledge in diflicult problems and assignments. We may declare, and not boastfully, and our teach- ers Will agree, that it would be hard to find a more alert, en- tliusiaistic, eilicient, all-around-class with brighter prospects than the CLASS 'IL J.
