being satisfied with the noise of one, he took a couple more. So, in order to please him and with the hope that these playthings will last a while, we leave to Mr, Eamon this handful of whistles. In the days of long ago when the members of 0111' class were mere ine fants, we indulged in the usual childish amusementsethe girls in playing with dolls, the boys generally in more manly sports. talthongh sometimes when no one was looking the stronger UN sex often gave way to that en- trancing pastime, which they ridiculed in the girls, and, stealing out the property of the gentler t D sex, they themselves played with dolls. Of course, each class that graduates is a little in advance of all classes before it. Indeed, a boy of the 1918 Class is so far ahead of the boys of our own class that he is not afraid to play with dolls even when people are looking. So, because we wish to gratify the desire of that person, unto Wesley Avey we bequeath this doll which we have christened Dolly. And, lastly, we direct that to our friends, teachers and classmates, whom we have come to love so dearly during the last four years and who have made them pleasant onesewe direct that to them be paid the heartfeTt appre- ciation and gratitude of the 191634 class in apportionments as large as they can make use of at one time. the whole of which can not he paid at one time on account of its vast hulk.

it as she has from the faithful edition she has used throughout her High School Course. we realize that there are certain things in our school which are indeed very valuable and essential to the welfare and happiness of our classmates, We feel the value of one such article especially, but since it is ltSmall, and, on account of its minuteness, might be overlooked, we fear it may not be fully appreciated. So to Margaret Netzley we bequeath this magnifying glass, that she may, by focusing her attention through it, appreciate one Smallli article which is so essential to her happiness. Miss Herman is the tum fortunate possessor of a room directly under the roll room of the Sophomores who sometimes become so excited over their geometry, we supposeethat they knock the plaster off the ceiling beneath them. So, in order to avert a catastrophe. the horrors of which would cer- tainly break our peace in the uXVorld Beyoml, ' we leave to! Misererman this booklet on llHow to Dodge Plaster Falling From the Ceilin ,l, For sometime we have kept our eyes open. maintained midnight vigils. and made all manner of inquiries into the secret prayers and desires of our dearest friends, to determine, if possible. the most useful gifts for tliOse whom we love. And, after much careful thought and consideration we have come to the conclusion that Miss Tenneson would most appreejate this chair, guaranteed not to break with the greatest weight or shock, Which, to make even more secure, we accompany with a bottle of Le Pagels glue. And we are confident that the gift will be hailed with shouts of joy from the School Board, since it will relieve them of the burden of repairing broken furniture. XVe approach now what we think will he the most useful heritage of all. The members of our Class having been taught the effectiveness of Florence Williams cudgel which she has used throughout the year to enforce her duties as sergeant-at-arms. we now with a full heart bequeath the instrument to Charles Kinnainan. the sergeant-at-arms of '17V3 class, 'hopinO', since we shall no longer feel the sweet thrills of anticipation which we fOrinerly ex- perienced when we fondly gazed at it. that it may inspire in the class of 517V2 the same responsive thrills. i i In carrying out our plans we come again to one of ofur 'faculty members. In the study of Physics we learned that inertia is. the persistence of matter in whatever state of motion it may chance to be. Recognizing the fact that some people possess astonishing amounts of this property, and fearing that it may carry him too far and force us to lose a good friend and teacher, to Mr. Thomson, who was so burdened with the aforesaid property that he broke all sprinting records one memorable morning when he caught the street car just in time, we bequeath this stop watch. Mr. Eamon, every one agres, has great ability as a football coach, and only one failing-that of blowing borrowed whistles. Now, it so happened, that, in order to enjoy himself. our Coach, not finding any other whistle, took the one bought by the A. S. B, for their football games, and then, not eighteen
