S. as little Freshmen, we had no one in the class who we thought would ever make the class famous, but just take a look at us now. At the beginning of the term there were thirty in the Senior Class, but now there are only twenty-six. Freda Dallas entered from Mattoon High School. She returned to Mattoon during the second quarter. Agnes Shaffer: Leona Bingaman and Orvyll Klump entered from Strasburg. Leona Bingaman and Orvyll Klump left school, but Agnes has remained with us. Glen Armantrout and Burl Mitchell entered from Gays. Harold Falk and Wesley Scheef entered from Stewardson.. John Montague entered from Martinsville. Otto Tietze entered W. C. H. S. as a Senior the last semester, but remained only until the basket ball season was over. V ' When the basket ball season of 1922 opened it was whispered around that Chick Webb promised to make a real basket ball player. Chick has lived up to what was expected of him. He was captain of the team of 1924-25. That same year Casey Duncan entered our class from Effingham. He took his place on the team and became the captain of the team of 1923-24. ,' He was not Fable to play basket ball this year but did his part as our yell-leader. Besides these two famous men, we furnished two guards for the team this year, Big Chief Linder and Shorty Finley. I I Just before Christmas the Seniors had a class party. We were not the least bit formal. All went to the kitchen for refreshments. Casey said that that was a good way to do for then you might possibly get enough to eat. Several of the members of the Senior class wrote on teacher's examination in March. They haven't as yet received their grades, but we wish them the best of luck. Daisy Rankin had to be out of school for about three weeks because of illness, but she is back with us again. We are not yet on the Height, but w-e'r-3 climbing and hope that all twenty-six of the Seniors will reach the height of their high school career on the twenty-ninth of May. -Helen Smith '25. f SENIOR CLASS WILL We, the Seniors of '25, in our last and remaining will, will to the faculty and underclassmen our only valuables as follows: To Mr. Alexander, a physics class who will try to make 10 plus on all ex- periments. 'Po Mr. Ready, a stool for his feet so the desk won't have to be revarnished every year. To Mr. Dunscomb, a sweet mama just like one of those vampish, good looking, Pana teachers. To Miss Smith, a gold medal for teaching those Freshies about bugs. To Miss Hartman, a direction book for cooking so Mary Elizabeth Gilbert won't have to be told her elbows aren't for kneading bread. To Miss Gustafson, a nice assistant chaperon, like we've always had at our parties. To Miss Kern, a black, sleek haired sheik who sure can make dem hot dogs.- IMIIIIIIIIIIHHHHiN1NNHWMHINIiIHHIHIIHVKIIHIIHHHWWWHNIIIHHHII1IIIIllillillililllllllllll'1g 2 5 HHNHHIII1!II!!EII'ilIIEIHIHHHHHWHNHIIIIIIIIHHIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIHIIIIHVIHIHHIHHHIHHIIIII Seventeen

Chick-Hello, Milton. Haven't seen you for a long while. Where are you lo- cated now? Don-Oh, I'm the President of the largest Bank in Middlesworth. W'hat are you doing for your health? Chick-Oh, I'm still at the old job. Coaching the boys to play ball. My team won the State Championship last year and figuring strong on it again this year. We haven't lost a game yet. Don-Say, do you remember when we used to go to the old brick prison QW. C. H. SJ ? Chick-VVel1, I have a faint idea. Have you heard of any of the old classmates and know what they are doing? Don-Well, I don't know whether I know what all of them are doing or not, but I heard the other day that Burl Mitchell had invented a new car which is 'similar to the Ford only it runs on the ether in the air instead of gasoline, after it is started and warmed up with a little gas. They say that he has it patented and are afraid that he is going to run Pete Gray out of business. I suppose you knew Pete had bought out Henry Ford's factories didn't you? Chick-Yes, I heard about that and I sure was surprised. Did you hear about John and Helen? They got married soon after school was out and John wanted to go to Russia to be a missionary and Helen wanted to be a nurse so they parted and each went his way. Gu-ess they are taking life happy now. Don-Did you hear about Barton Lovins teaching school? Chick-No. Where? - Don-Oh, he is professor of the College at Quigley and is teaching Physics. Chick-Have you seen anything of Casey Duncan anywhere? Don-Oh, yes, he comes to Middlesworth quite often. You know Mildred and he were married soon after school was out and he has now taken possession of the old home farm southeast of Windsor in the grove. You know where that is. Chick-Oh yes. Say, what's this I hear about Olta Reynolds and Wesley Scheef? I heard they were, in partnership in some big firm of some kind. Don-Yes. They have gone in partnership and started up a street car firm in Kirk. I guess they are making good. Do you know whatever become of Shorty Finley? Chick-The last I heard of him he was conductor on a wheel barrow in Chicago. llllllillHfll3SCEES?iiil3lIUllI1ilHi1llllilillilillflilllliilliilllHillillNllillIllNNENlilllllllllmflllll' H H 5 Hlllllllllllfill'29H3QllllllllllllllHiHiHlilHHHiHiH1IHlllllliliiilliflilllllllllllllilllllllllllllf Nineteen
