E, the dignified, intellectual and ambitious members of the Senior Class, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred thrity-eight, upon our departure from the Wood High School, Tipton County, State of Indiana, in these United States of America, considering the needs of the inferior classes, do make public and declare this to be our last will and testiment as follows, viz: To the Faculty we bequeath the right to set us seniors as an example to keep all other classes from being so intelligent and mannerly. We, the Seniors, bequeath to Mr. Owens eight good, honest, and studious otlice girls, one for each period of the day. To Miss Hall, we bequeath a bookkeeping class that will work quietly and have more confidence in itself. Nothing better would suit Mr. Scott than a Physics class that takes nothing but physics so as to make A's. To Miss Mitchell, we bequeath an assembly in which the students will give her a good reason for giving them demerit marks, for there has been a rumor that the senior girls are objecting. Mr. Reid has always wanted a state basket ball team, so we give to him Windfall's quality and not quantity. To Miss Downs we give just another cook book, to tame down those wild freshmen girls. We bequeath to Mr. Ragains a band that will be able to play the school song without help. To Miss Leisure, we bequeath a little more soberness when she calls down some mischievous junior in English class. We bequeath to Mr. Hinds a health class that will have the ability to find out when the tests are going to be so as to be prepared. James Alley wills his athletic skill to Edward Jack. Mary Alice Blessing bequeaths her winning ways and charming personality to Betty Leavell. Deloris Bolinger wills the young chap from Tipton to anyone who wants him. Arthur Clouser wills his changeable mind to Floyd Vanness. Robert CoHin bequeaths his ability to grow just a small degree each year to Frank Miller. Emily Conkling has decided to be kind enough to will her typing ability to Wilbur Legg. Juanita Doggett bequeaths her dark hair to Iva Stevenson to st.art a fast growing romance. Glenn Ertel bequeaths his ability as an artist to Charles Tolle. Mildred Fernung bequeaths some of her hair to Mr. Scott to pre- vent him from buying a wig before he reaches the ripe old age of 60. Maxine Hinds bequeaths to Dick Clem her high scholastic record. Page Fourteen

pointed Chief Justice. He was killed while racing to defend the form- er Lucile Nelson in a spectacular divorce suit. Wayne Langley and Arthur Clouser are farmers near Windfall. Since their farms are adjoining, they have quite a few disputes over the legal rights and wrongs of their respective farms. It is said that there might be a murder if Arthur doesn't keep his hogs out of Wayne's prize corn. Maxine Hinds and Virginia White are world renowned, because of the many schools of Etiquette that they have established through- out the world. Glenn Ertel, Mary Alice Blessing, Mildred Fernung, and Paul Matchette are vagabonds. They travel to all parts of the world giving plays to earn a living. Their present play is Life in 2000 . Emily Conkling is still single and is at present in Chicago where she is the manager of a new business, Special Stenographic Work. Emily is also playing the piano for a children's institution. Mary Kennedy and Cora Ann Shawhan are also in Europe. They each own their private newspapers. It seems that each have a thriving business. Going to Europe we find Marjory Tolle traveling from place to place as a debater for the different schools. She has been awarded a a medal for debating. Marjorie Rarey, like the Baltimore bells, has gone to hunt her prince charming. Perhaps some day she may be a princess also. In Australia we Find James Alley with his automobile factory. We cannot tell what kind of car he makes because it looks so much like a rocket. Butfthis is 1965. We follow Armetha Smith and Martha Leavell to China, where they are instructing Chinese girls how to choose their beaus. It is said that their business is more thriving than that of Dorothy Dix. With a whirring sound we see that the crystal has started turning backward at a tremendous speed. As it nears the year of 1938 it starts slowing down and stops before a group of faces. To our surprise it is the graduating class. We look closely and see all the faces. Even ours! We are mystified, but are soon made to realize that it is a large picture dedicated to the school of W. H. S. by Viola Smith, a famous photographer. Then with a sigh of dismay we look at the chief who is writhing and groaning, which means that he is coming out of his trance, and that we have once again seen all of our high school friends. Tomorrow we must again prepare to tramp through the dense jungle to teach Christianity to the savages. Waunetta Weismiller Deloris Bolinger Virginia White Page Thirteen
