Additional Information
JUNE 1929
Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar. When I put out to sea.
Twilight and evening bell.
And after that the dark-1
And may there be no sadness of farewell. When I embark;
For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crossed the bar.

Senior Qlass history and prophecy
N September, 1925, we were received
into the portals of South Hills High
School as the first Freshman class to
enter the completed building. Some
of us were rather disappointed because
no one told us to get the elevator to the
fifth floor in order to find the auditorium. Do you remember that Freshy reception? How surprised we were when instead of raizing us, the Seniors entertained us royally.
June 1927
The term soon passed and we entered our Sophomore year. Aside from the fact that we lost our inferiority complex we were much the same.
When our Sophomore stage was drawing to a close we were pleasantly surprised by the first Annual Boat Excursion.
June 1928
At last we had a place in the social world! We were Juniors! That first class meeting! Will you ever forget it? We showed our intelligence on this occasion by electing as officers—President, Harry Lambert; Vice-President, Reed Wible; Secretary,-Ellca-Rigg; -Treasurer, -Charles Oakley; and also, by choosing Mr. Mcclure as our guardian. < . ' »>
Now we could attend the Junior-Senior parties arid took this opportunity to prepare for the Halloween Dance, our first real social event As Junior-As we enjoyed some more afternoon parties and held a picnic at Eichleay's.
May 1929
June soon came and we at last became Seniors- But nevertheless no radical change was apparent. In our Senior year we had for President, Harry Lambert; Vice President, Bill Butterbach; Secretary, Charles Oakley; Treasurer, Margaret Sweeney. Because of the fact that Mr. McClure had been made vice-principal we had to
choose a new guardian. Mr. Cotton was the one upon whom we bestowed this remarkable honor.
Among our social events during this year were the Barn Dance at Sunset Cabins, another Hallowe’en Dance, some afternoon parties, and then the Prom.
Our April Fool Dance was a novel event with the girls inviting the boys. Then some of our classmates exhibited their histrionic talent when that marvelous class play was presented.
The Prom will soon be here and then Senior day, and then that greatest event of all—Commencement.
We all feel rather happy because we have successfully completed our high school career but our joy is somewhat tempered by the knowledge that soon we will be leaving behind the happiest part of our lives.
The class of June 1929 having Oy
world as a group of individuals, has continued as of distinguished men and women. Our ideal time considered rather high and revolutionary °ne attained and the names of many of our group wh/l blazoned in the history of progress- e e">-
Our distinguished president, Harry Lambert gone far in his chosen line of endeavor and ranks Li'1’ as the greatest chewing gum magnate in the Mlington .district
Dan Davis has achieved his high school ambition and has revolutionized science in the field of chemistry. Davis is at this time installed behind the soda fountain of Castle Shannon’s leading drug store owned and operated by Leon Radaker.
Paul Ferrero, having passed several years at Tech and other of the country’s leading technical institutions, is employed as a hydraulic engineer. One may find plue nsconced in the elevator of the Sweeney Building, it the comer of First Avenue and 225th Street. Lois Jacobs, the famous prima donna, has been doing social service work with the Salvation Army, being ably accompanied by Johnny Tomlinson. Augustus Skirball is doing well in the selling- game, having secured the Warrington Park Chewing-.Gum and Pop’Corn concessions..
We are well represented in politics by Wm. Butter bach who has just succeeded in passing a bill for a shorter lunch period on the grounds that too many socialistic ideas are developed at that time.
McCabe and Gaudelli of Hollywood fame appeared at the Idle Hour in their latest thriller, “The Old Home stead.”
Reed Wible, cartoonist extraordinary, has created quite a furor in literary circles by his radical designs for animal crackers.
Several of our classmates are back in the old building in the role of teachers. Among these are Kate Taylor, who was seen lurking around the Chemistry Lab. and Jean Davies of the Physics Department Mary Walker has been flitting around on the third floor and it is rumored that she is now teaching French.
Boomers Oakley refuses to be quoted on holy matrimony and its uplifting ? influences.
Surely there can be no question that our class is the most outstanding to have left the sheltering walls of our dear old Alma Mater. We climbed, though the rocks were rugged, and so terrific have been our assaults that the door to success hangs on one hinge, a mute witness to our progress.

Thrift Idea Slowly Makes Self Apparent Hereabouts
Two More Rooms Join Hundred Per Cent Club
On the last banking day two more rooms joined the 100 per cent group; they were 307 and 249; This makes five perfect rooms in all—201, 261, and 307 in the Senior high school, and 140 and 249 in the Junior division. The Junior average was 49.7 per cent, almost reaching the 50 per cent mark; the Senior high had only 36.3 per cent, making a school average of 42.3 per cent—still room for more improvement. Sad to say. South Hills still holds the last place in the city school banking averages. Let’s bring it up to 50 per cent at least.

On March 14, 1929, the Senior Hi-Y clubs from Carrick, South Hills, and South met at the Hilltop Y. M. C. A. for the M. U. F. banquet. The banquet began at 6:30, at which time an elaborate menu was served. Tommy James, _ director of Senior Hi-Y clubs in this district, then introduced the speaker. Dr. MeCowen gave an interesting talk on the “Inauguration of Life.” After the speaker had finished, the meeting was adjourned to bowl and shoot billiards. The boys are all looking forward to the next banquet, which will be held on April 4, 1929.
BIG SISTERS ENTERTAIN
The Big Sisters entertained the Little Sisters in the girls’ gymnasium Wednesday, March 20. About 325 girls were present. They surely seemed to have a good time.
STUDENTS' COOPERATIVE ASSOCIATION STAGE CREW
National Honor Society
In May, 1929, a branch of the National Honor Society was established in our school. This society corresponds to the Phi Beta Kappa fraternity in colleges and universities, and is purely an honorary society. The object of the association is to give recognition to those pupils who represent the best type of leadership in the school.
A candidate must be scholastic ally in the upper third of his class, and must pass certain tests on character, leadership, and service. The candidates were selected by a faculty committee appointed by Dr. Winner.
This year 17 members were initiated : twelve Senior-A's, and fin Senior-B's. The South Hills Chapter is sponsored by Mr. Glaser, and the officers are Alden Hutchison, President; Albert Junge, Vice President; Claire Van Der Hoeven, Secretary; and Mr. Glaser, Treasurer. The other members are: Evi Blichfeldt, Edward Burnell, Elean or Duffy, Ivan Ferguson, Claire Frick, Elizabeth Hart, Mary Hus band, Charlotte Kegel, Irvin Klein, Paul Kramer, Clara McClure, Rosetta Meritzer, Wilma Ranger, and Frederick Wilson.

The journalist Club
This club is composed of those pupils who are interested in the field of Journalism. Many of them are members of Quill and Scroll, the National Honorary Society for High School journalists.

Sponsor—Miss Diethome.
Officers—Wilson Carrington, President; Frank Mc Cabe, Vice President; Paul Grace, Secretary-Treasurer; Rosana Murray, Librarian.
The Choral Club is a group that meets weekly, to encourage and advance appreciation of music, and to familiarise its members with the art of group singing. It is the oldest existing club in the school and it has progressed steadily from the time of its organization in 1917. Sisters
“As a girl thinketh in her heart, so is she;” that is the motto of the Big Sister Organization, sponsored by Mrs. Prichard.

The Virgil Club, which consists of all those Senior students who are studying Virgil at the present time, holds meetings monthly. The purpose of the club is to enlighten the minds of the students on subjects which willing. There have been talks on the different phases of Roman life, stories of mythological characters, accounts of Roman weddings and funerals. At one interesting meeting, a scene from “A Roman Wedding was put on by several of the Senior-A's.
After the program has been completed, a Latin game is usually played. All of these games are of great benefit to the students besides being thoroughly enjoyable.
The Aeronautics Club is the newest addition to the Extra-Curricular Activities and is sponsored by Mr. F. W. Mack. This club was started in the September semester of 1928 and has proved to be a great success.
The members of this club are boys selected from the Junior and Senior classes, Seniors having preference for membership. By constitutional law, the membership can not exceed twenty-five, and up to date only twenty-four have qualified.
Our officers are of the best, all being of Honor Roll standing, and have proven capable of their positions. Our programs, as is to be expected, are of aviation in its broadest and finest fields, and are discussed freely at our weekly meetings.
The club to date has had two social affairs, both of which were successful, showing that our minds are not wholly wrapped in aeronautics.
Three-fourths of the members are graduating with the June Class of ’29, including all the officers, President Burnell, Vice President Betzler, Secretary Klein, and Treasurer Steen.
Tlrs club gives prom se of a brilliant and prosperous future:
MATHEMATICS CLUB CIVICS CLUB
JUNIOR RED CROSS
Der ‘'Deutsche ‘IJerein
The purpose of Der Deutsche Verein is to give the members an opportunity to converse in German, to become familiar with German life and folklore, to study great German characters, both literary and historical, and to enjoy the singing and other activities, which are carried out in a typically German manner. It has eighteen mem bets and is under the leadership of Mr. Carl A. Maffeo.
paying Club
The Life Saving Club is one of the newest and most useful clubs in South Hills High School. Its purpose is to teach the perfection of the various swimming strokes and to pass the Red Cross Life Saving tests. Each girl who passes the tests under the supervision of an authorized Red Cross Examiner is awarded the Junior Red Cross Life Saving Emblem.
The Mathematics Club
The purpose of the Mathematics Club is to stimulate an increased interest in mathematics in its members and in the students in general. Evidently the club has succeeded in this effort. Organized several years ago by a few active students, the club has grown both in size and in popularity until it is one of the outstanding organizations of the-school. Its programs are consistently of an instructive, interesting and up to date nature.

The Civics Club, an organization of two years’ standing, continues to perform its intended purpose of maintaining an ideal of good citizenship in the school and community.
The Club, in connection with “Clean Up, Paint Up, Plant Up Week”, has tried to improve the appearance of the school campus by planting vines.
Spanish Club
The Spanish Club is one of the oldest and most popular organizations at South Hills. Its membership has increased until it has become necessary for each Spanish class to have its own club. During the past semester, the members of the first period club, under the sponsorship of Miss Potter, have presented a number of interesting programs, and have learned several Spanish songs. The officers are Albert Junge, President; Ivan Latimer, Vice President; Eleanor Duffy, Secretary; and Mary Feick, Treasurer.
Junior Red Cross
President, Fern Pierson; Vice-President, Regina Weiss; Secretary, Margaret Dyer; Reporter, Virginia Card. The club is composed of fifteen members with Miss Negley, a Red Cross nurse as our instructor. She teaches us how to care for the sick and how to prevent disease.

Boilers" was given, and will you ever
forget Jean Davies as the vamp, and Bill Booth as the playwright who wrote in columns?
The Monday before Easter found us all eagerly waiting for the annual Easter program. We weren't at all disappointed either; Mr. Arthur had prepared an enchanting musical program for us, and as a special surprise he had Miss Helen Bell Rush come to sing for us. Well, it’s quite unnecessary for me to say we appreciated Mr. Arthur's efforts to please us, for he certainly did succeed. Ah! That was a day of surprises. Suddenly there appeared before us an enormous, beautifully decorated Easter egg, and from behind it emerged two rabbits. They danced for us in bunny fashion, but in spite of their disguises we soon found they were none other than Roger Hopkins and Bill Matz.
Well, time flies! Before we knew it the Class Play was actually upon us. On Monday before the Class Play, ‘‘Marg” Sweeney and Company presented a pantomime which embodied our ideas of the coming play. “Once There Was A Princess” does make one think of “Cinder ella” doesn’t it? Well, anyhow, that’s what the panto mime was about. It was a big success and served to excite everybody’s interest in the Class Play. Not long after
Price and the efforts to do well which she inspired in the actors. There isn’t much more that I can say about it except that; in the words of Dr. Winner and Mr. Mates, “It was one of the best ever produced in our school," and “On the whole, it provoked more spontaneous laughter and appreciation on the part of the audience than any other of our recent plays.”
But, I mustn’t forget, the day the pantomime was given, a little health play was also presented by the Junior Dramatics Club. It was really very clever, and we were much amused by the antics of our old friends “Old Dutch Cleanser" and “The Gold Dust Twins.”
On June third and fourth the Dramatics classes will present “Beauty and the Jacobin.” As yet, we do not even know who will take part in the play, but it is rather safe to predict that it will be a success. And then, soon after this, we will have Senior Day in Assembly and that of course, is always lots of fun.
But before I forget, remember at the very beginning of this semester on February fourth, “Rosamunde" was given? Gee, wasn't that good? Will you ever forget that operetta? Of course, we know exactly to whom to give the credit; the music, dramatics, art and sewing departments divide honors for that, and of course, the “old reliable" stage crew.
And thus, before you are the events of the semester. The Senior Class of June 1929 has done well in this field of its work, and if some of its members continue as they have started, who knows but that South Hills may have produced in this class an Ethel Barrymore, or even a David Belasco. Florence Davidson.
Junior Picnic
N June 1, 1928, we made our social
debut as a class. We used “38’s and
42's” in lieu of taxis and limousines,
and instead of “coming out" at a for
mal reception or dance, we chose a
thoroughly enjoyable informal picnic
at Eichleay's Farms. The boys went off to play baseball as soon as we arrived at our destination, so the girls had to amuse themselves by gamboling on the green and breaking the high heels off their shoes. Janet Hoerr attained quite a reputation as a fixer of heels.” After they tired of these pastimes, everybody seemed to want to dance, but the orchestra was not ready at that time. However, Peg Beach proved quite an adept at traps , and so the time passed, until we attacked those heaps and heaps of sandwiches which the social committee provided. After our repast, the dancing was continued, and when darkness came we were equipped to cope with it, with a big bon fire and, incidentally, hot dogs and marshmallows
This party, which was held at Sunset Cabins on Bower Hill Road, certainly proved our originality. Everybody came dressed as farmers and farmerettes (or at least in old clothes) and this, of course, eliminated the necessity of being careful of the usual party finery.
The realization of the Freshies’ dreams! Everybody dressed in their “best bibs and tuckers” and all were excitedly hopeful that our Prom, which was held on January twenty-fourth, would be the best ever given. The gym
was decorated in green, black, and silver—since our class colors are green and silver and the erstwhile Senior-A s were black and silver, and a mammoth airplane filled the "sky.” The orchestra was “Waring's Pennsylvanians— perhaps I should prefix the word “Tech’s”—and they certainly made everybody want to dance!
The girls fooled the boys this semester and did not wait for them to invite us to the party on April eighteenth, but invited them instead. For once the girls had a chance to wear the funny little caps which were a part of the “atmosphere" provided, and they also arranged the dances. Nobody can say our class is not progressive!— we believe in woman suffrage with all the trimmings! We all “tripped the light fantastic” to the music of the school dance orchestra, and the boys had the novel experience of wondering whether they’d “get more cuts than Johnny"—for the girls did the “tagging.” William Wendler and Mr. Cotton finally succeeded in arranging us in formation for some pictures, and we reluctantly dispersed at five-fifteen. cAfarnoon <rJJances
“Our last afternoon dance at South Hills”—how regretfully we say the words! For it was the afternoon dances which helped most of us to become really acquainted with the upper-classmen at South Hills, and through these dances, we were first made to feel that we were at last a real part of South Hills!
This year, the music at the afternoon dances has been even better than last year. The school dance orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Arthur, seems to improve with each dance, until there isn’t much room for more improvement.

ported for practice. With such time
as the busy coach could spare, the Taj'was whipped into shape despite an apparent lack of sq nt on the part of the varsity splashers- When the Soening meet was at hand the team presented an evenly Balanced array and quite a formidable one even though there were no individual stars.
In the first meet with Oliver our boys splashed ahead a 30-20 score mainly through the acquisition of seconds and thirds. Then South Hills met the undefeated section champs from Langley. This was disastrous and Langley won 30'20. The next meet at Perry had a different story to tell and South Hills again triumphed. This score was 18-32. The last dual meet was with Carrick and our boys triumphed before a home crowd by the close score of 23'27.In the finals, we were not successful because of the lack of stars on our team. Captain Betzler, Cinisak, Ferrero and Schoener were the most consistent performers
and were awarded letters at the close of the season. The Results of the Season

When basketball loomed colossal upon the horizon, Coach Cuddeback sent out a well answered call for candidates.
In spite of a “flu” hampered squad, the interest never wavered. A fine team backed by an enthusiastic student body went forth to represent Alma Mater in one of our most thrilling and successful seasons at this sport.
On January the twelfth our gladiators gave first evidence of their strenuous period of training by trouncing Dormont in a one-sided contest, the score being 38-12.
As the season advanced, South Hills gradually gained first place by defeating Perry and Oliver; at whose hands we had previously tasted defeat on their respective home floors.
By remarkable consistency throughout a strenuous campaign, our passers had unquestionably clinched the sectional honors.
In a vain but valiant attempt to wrest the city title, our aggregation met the Fifth Avenue eagers in a brilliant contest on the Stadium court Friday, March 1.
The game opened with Garnham and Miller playing at forward, Ladley at center, and Hassenfritz and Jones playing at guard. The game was fast and furious and had all the earmarks of a Tunnelite victory until the fourth “stanza” when the Fifth Avenue floormen, with a final effort, spurted through to a gallant finish leaving us by a 20 to 13 score.
The second episode which proved slightly more disastrous, was played with the same line-up. The play was interesting throughout but the Uptown school proved its supremacy- Hassenfritz and Gamham starred for South Hills; Reiter, the F. A. attraction, probably sported the

On Friday, April 6, our baseball team gave promise of a brilliant season by trouncing the Westinghouse nine in a lop-sided opener. Throughout the struggle our boys displayed their superiority both in the defensive and offensive playing. On April 12, with the stage set for another battle, we received a setback at the hands of Allegheny Vocational; the game was fast and interesting, and the Trade School boys were lucky to run off with the winning run. On April 23, Carrick duplicated our last defeat by managing to force across two winning runs in spite of the gallant effort made by our boys to hold them.
As this matter goes to the press only four games have been played, in all of which our team displayed remarkable spirit and determination. Coach Mazeski has placed another of his famously optimistic teams upon the diamond. The boys displayed fine form and effective co-operation. Need we add that this is the result of earnest and conscientious effort?
The team deserves our most enthusiastic support -and we all join in wishing them a most successful season.

When Coach Carson decided that it was time for South Hills to send forth another brilliant team, he registered a call for trackmen. The response gave hope from the first that the coming season was to be plentifully sprinkled with pleasing victories. Among the candidates such enthusiastic and able performers as Wible, McCabe, Emerson, Haney, Blum, and Lawrence were to be found. The boys trained conscientiously and with a will. Under the able guidance of Coach Carson a very formidable team was produced.
The results of the season are as follows:
South Hills 72 Ralston 16 South Hills 72 South 16 South Hills 78 Langley 10 South Hills won through forfeit from Carrick
The boys are not going to be contented with the minor victories but will carry the colors into city-wide competition. We have reason to put our confidence in their abilities and wish the team the best of success.

Volley Ball has never been a very popular sport with the Tunnelite athletes and perhaps without a glint of an alibi we can attribute our unsuccessful season to this cause.
We congratulate the players on their earnest and consistent efforts to place South Hills in another field of athletic activity.

pjhe Pied Piper of Pittsburgh
HE Pied Piper of Pittsburgh, consisting
of a prologue showing what might have
been, and twelve episodes showing
what it is, is to be presented under the
auspices of the Pittsburgh Board of
Public Education, by the department
of hygiene. The prologue is to depict the general idea which is to be the central thought, and around which the episodes are built, by means of personifications. Thus Pittsburgh, Civilization, Progress, Humanity, and Education, are personified, and each one, through the medium of speech, has a part in getting over to the audience, the story of a city which had failed to properly care for its children.
The episodes are to consist of colorful spectacular pictures—using large groups of children—each telling its own part of the pageant story, and showing some of the ways adopted by Humanity, Education, and Opportunity, to achieve health and happiness for the children.
Prior to the consolidation of the Public School System in 1911, the Health Program in the different schools was either of a decidedly sporadic nature, or else entirely nil.With the appointment of the Board of Public Education in 1911, and the subsequent establishment of the De
partment of Hygiene, it was made possible to outline a comprehensive program of Health Education that was uniform for all of the schools.
The Prologue of this Pageant endeavors to point out what might have been, had Pittsburgh neglected to recognize and provide for the needs of the children—and to emphasize the importance of eternal vigilance in continuing to look after their physical welfare.
The Episodes consist of twelve pictures, each one showing, in an impressive way, one phase of our Health Education work.
The South Hills High School girls are to present two dances in this pageant.
“Tarantella”—An Italian Dance, and An American Circle Dance.
Girls’ volleyball was very interesting this year on account of the inter-class games. It was necessary for each class team to play all the other teams of the school The handicap system of scoring, which was adopted for the purpose of giving every class an equal chance, lent a zest to the games that would have otherwise been lacking.
From each class team, the eight best players were chosen to form the class varsities, since, under the new plan of the Department of Hygiene, the varsity volleyball team was abolished. Each of the class varsities competed against the corresponding team from another high school.

Miss Stevens, the 9's and 10’s under
Miss McNamara, and the 7’s and 8’s under Miss Kelleher. All the girls showed fine spirit in coming out for practice. This spirit continued on into the City meets where it won great honors for our girls.
The first meet, which was a sectional one, was held at McKinley Park on May 29. Carrick, Knoxville, Glad stone, and South Hills, participated in this meet. Out of a possible 34 places, our girls took 16; a very good showing.
Only those girls receiving first and second places in this sectional meet were eligible to compete in the city championship meet at Schenley field on June 3.
South Hills won first place at the championship meet, with 34 points, Fifth Avenue was second, with 30 points, and Peabody third, with 18 points.
In the Senior division, Kate Clark broke the record for the basketball throw. The former record was 74 feet. She threw 83 feet.
In the 10th grade a new relay record was made. Betty Eichleay broke the standing broad jump record with a jump of 7 feet 8J/2 inches.

“You look like a fool!” thundered the angry parent to his son just returned from-college. “More and more like a conceited, hare-brained, helpless fool every year. Just then the manager of the firm entered the employer's private office and saw the youth.
“Hallo, Mr. George! Back again, eh? You look more and more like your father every time I see you.” The youth brightened.
“Yes, he replied,” looking cheerfully at his parent, “the guv’nor’s just been telling me so.”
THEY ALL FALL
A maiden passed with silken hose,
Well suited for display;
A spinster puckered up her nose,
And turned her head away.
The maiden went her way content,
The men all stopped to stare;
The spinster saw, and then she went
And bought herself a pair.—London Opinion.

The following essay was written by a Norwegian boy in the public schools of Chicago:

“When he sit, he sit on what he ain’t got, almost.” —Garner and Gray.

She was still rather new at driving a car and a little bit confused in traffic. Down Broadway she forgot to stop soon enough at the signal and shot out into the middle of the street.
Pompuously the traffic officer bore down upon her. “Didn’t you see me hold up my hand?” he shouted fiercely.
The culprit gasped a breathless “Yes.”
“Didn’t you know that when I held up my hand it meant Stop?”
“No, sir; I'm just a school-teacher,” she said, in a timid, mouselike voice, “and when you raised your hand like that I thought you wanted to ask a question.” —\ew Yor\ Sun.
The fast Word
Of
The June Qlass of 1929
HIS is the last will and testament of
the June Class of 1929, to be executed
by our guardian, Mr. Reardon Cotton.
Being such a benignant and especially
favored class, we have many gifts to
bequeath before we disengage our
selves from the life of our Alma Mater.
Item- T° our much imposed upon faculty we do be queath all the heretofore unknown facts and information which we have from time to time set forth in class and on examination papers. They may use it for their own benefit or for the further enlightenment and education of the classes to follow. We, of course, leave this to their own discretion.
Item: To the present Senior-B class we very beneficiently leave behind all discarded notebooks, pencil stubs, much used textbooks, stale gum, and our best wishes for a good, hard semester.
Item: To the Junior Class we leave the right to our digified name.
Item: To the present Sophomores we bequeath our sacred seats in Chapel, to be filled by them within two years, on condition that they faithfully and completely do all their assignments.
Item: To those insignificant beings known as Freshmen, we leave the right to use the steps leading from the Junc tion to the Cathedral of Knowledge, for the space of three years, if they last that long, and if they do not withstand the marks of time for any reason whatsoever, we promise these aforesaid, a lengthy vacation.
Item: To the Senior-B girls we leave all those boys who found it hard, in the course of study, to keep up with us and we hope they will be able to hold on to them better than we did.
Item: We now bequeath to the following:
1. To all future class presidents, Harry Lambert's ability to keep order at class meetings.
2. To future treasurers, Margaret Sweeney's ability to keep the class' money.
3 To Maurice Gutmacher, George Hassenfritz’s basketball tactics.
4. To the next class play hero, Frank McCabe's method of making love.
5. To aspiring Romeos, Bud McDonald’s popularity with the girls.
6. To anyone who needs them, Clara McClure’s brains. She has used them long enough and we feel someone else ought to have a chance.
7. To future salesmen, Bill Butterbach’s salesmanship and vocabulary- (He doesn’t need either. He can depend on his personality.)
8. To anybody, Claire Tritsch's sunny disposition. 9. To Ted Rigg, Cow Miller’s speed in basketball. 10. To Miss White, Emeline Connor’s French vocabulary.
11. To mermen, Dick Betzler's swimming ability. 12. To future forwards, Mary Walker's luck in basketball. 13. And to future classes, a guardian like Mr. Cotton.
And we do hereby constitute and appoint the said guardian sole executor of this, our last will and testament In witness whereof, we the testators, have affixed our honorable names. Rosetta Meritzer.
