Senior Class Will By I'eart Day ami Jessie Hitchcock We, the Senior Class of W inslow High School, being of sound mind and memory and considering the uncertainty of our frail and transitory existence as Seniors, do therefore, make, ordain, publish and declare this to be our last will and testament: We direct that the unpleasant and harrowing memories we have left in the minds of the faculty be forgotten and held against us no more. That our standards of scholarship not be taken as ihodels by those of more tender years. We bequeath to the Juniors in particular and to the other classes in general all those high privileges, prerogatives and encomiums which properly belong to those of our position. Then in particular: Jessie Hitchcock w ills to Arlis Miller her ability to “get by with all she attempts. Bernadine ( t swell wills her giggle to Dick Keyes (so that Dic k may be more successful in Orchestra). Doc” wills to Wallace his propensity for obtaining pennies from the proverbial blood-less turnips. Jesse Baker gives to Virginia Bly his poetic muse that she may be inspired to immortalize the present Junior class. Marvel Penrod presents to Blanche Fish her musical ability and her gcxxl grades in Physics. I.orenzo wills his desk in assembly to Louis Sandoval. It has his autograph on it. Irene leaves all her dignity to Dan Hitchcock. Stella Nelson wills her hair puffs to I'fa LaPrade. Hazel Armstrong wishes to give her hot temper and all her quarrels and faculty-student debates to Elizabeth. Isabelle Coe wills her talkativeness to Kulhella. Alice bequeaths her dancing ability and all her grace to Francis Leonard. Ewart 1 estows his high position in the graces of Mr. Hunt and also his habit of roaming through the building at all hours upon Roy Williams. Ralph Miller wills his luck at the game of Mississippi Marbles” to I'lene McCoy. Lastly we bequeath to the Faculty all our slang and smart sayings along with all our grades which were below passing, (Most all were).

Oli! I almost forgot to toll you about Ralph Miller. He is a dancing master in Detroit, lie bus settled down and lias a family. You probably have heard that his wife is Virgina Bly (but of course her name is Miller now). He is moderately rich and has become quite a noted dancer. I stayed with them a week and had a most delightful time. That tour around the world was a very interesting and delightful one and I hope that on jn next trip I shall s e many more old friends and classmates. 1 surely would appreciate a letter from you, telling me all of the latest Winslow news. Your Sincere Friend, Arlis Miller P. S. 1 would have written a longer letter but I have an appointment to dine with Bcrnadinc Criswell who, as you perhaps know, is studying art here in the Paris Academie of Art. Senior Class By Jessie Hitchcock CLASS OFFICERS President...............................JESS1E H ITCH COCK Secy, and Trees.........................EGBERT BOSTWICK W as there ever such a class? Needless to answer for those who know us. For those who do not know us we will relate a few of our accomplishments and let them decide for themselves. In the field of athletics we have been well represented, lx th in Ftxitball and Basket Ball. In dramatics we have the best material in the school. Contrary to the usual rule these accomplishments have not been attained at the excuse of scholarship, for our scholarship records are unrivaled. We have always had a g xxl representation on the honor roll. Some of our brightest luminaries are as follows: Ralph, the Physics shark: Ewart, skilled in the art of bluffing: Bernadine, our youngest and brightest: Jesse, our budding jxx t; Hazel, our all round genius: Kglx rt, our cartoonist. Marvel is the only really good one in the class. There is a reason for everything. Let us look into the past history of the class of’21 and see if we can discover a cause, whether it is due to process of evolution or a case of the “survival of the fittest.” We entered the Y. H. S. as Freshmen having the reputation of being the best class that had ever entered. Our records show we made good our reputation. But only six of the present class entered as Freshmen. They are Egbert and Irene Bostwick, Marvel Pen-rod, Alice Fenton, Stella Nelson and Ewart Day. During the Sophomore year our class was augmented by Lorenzo Gjrdun . In this year our dramatic talents were unearthed and the leading part in the school play, “Believe me, antippe” was given Gilbert Crick, who had just entered our ranks. As Juniors we were a lively bunch. The play, “What Happened to Jones’ was presented in a very clever manner. As a culmination to the year's events came the Junior Prom, “a thing of beauty and a joy forever. We lost our worthy member, Gilbert I rick, during the year but gained in his place Theora PfafT. The Senior year has lx en a grand finale to our school career. We think we have been model seniors, always leading in scholarship and deportment of a certain kind. We show a lot of class spirit, this too is of a certain kind. We work industriously and are gixxl to the Freshmen. In short we are the most Ixdoved of all the classes and the teachers show strong feeling afxnit our leaving W. II. S. The class roll for the entire year is as follows: Jessie Hitchcock Hazel Armstrong Marvel Penrod Isabelle Coe Bernadine Creswell Theora PfafT Alice Fenton I lelen Sellen Irene Bostwick Stella Nelson Ewart Day Eglx rt Bostwick Ralph Miller Jesse Baker l-orcnzo iarduno Page Xiurteen
