| a e-em eee e eee ee TS LAST WILL AND TAMENT he Wht t PEP e LA ‘he WE, THE SENIOR CLASS OF ALTAVISTA HIGH SCHOOL, being of sound mind, execute this, OUR LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT, thereby revoking all former bequests, and do, on the eve of our departure for other walks in life, jointly and severally dispose of our possessions and privileges in manner and form as follows, to-wit: Recognizing the efforts of the School Board in our behalf, and, in particular, their erection of the handsome, commodious annex, we will to them, collectively and individually, and to Mr. J. J. Fray, the Division Superintendent, our hearty thanks and hopes that many more buildings may mark their term of office. To the grades who occupy the new building we will sundry parcels of soap, rags, and towels to be purchased by them from such funds as may or may not be hereinafter provided for, with the express stipulation that hands must be washed before touching the new walls in the new building. To the grades occupying the old building we will a collection of old auto mufflers that the noise of their studying may hereafter not pervade the quieter realms of the high school students upstairs. To the oncoming Senior class we will a unique collection of unsolved problems, trusting that, by diligent application, they may succeed in their solution where we have failed, to-wit: In Biology The baffling question, asked by the class poet: “What did the Amoeba do That it became a kangaroo?” In Latin—If this is a “dead language’’ why not leave it alone? We are willing to learn as far as “Requiescat in pace.” “ec In History—Why would not ‘‘Bacon’s Rebellion” together with a good supply of ‘‘dates’’ have added to the attractiveness of the ‘‘Boston Tea Party?”’ In Science—Why does a “retort”? never answer? In Math—If the weather bureau reports the temperature. as 90 degrees, why should not it be easier stated as “rectangular ?”’ In English—The vexed problem of the difference between ‘simile’ and ‘‘metaphor’? we leave as one worthy of the application of the whole class, and with this there is another effusion from the class poet who insists that he can find no mistake inj his favorite lines: “For everywhere that I have went They’re glad that I have came.”’ request the Senior class to be true to the traditional spelling of ‘‘which.’’ This word “witch,” We solemnly must never be written in other form than We further will to the Senior class, to be transmitted by them to their successors, and so on, ad in- finitum, our record as students, and our marks for deportment, trusting that where we have erred they may amend, where we have failed they may succeed, and that each succeeding class may excel its pre- decessor in things worthwhile. To the faculty we will severally as follows: To Mr. Childs, A new whistle as an expression of our esteem; to Mrs. Rowbotham, One gross of red pencils and a framed motto: ‘‘Thy gentleness has made me great’; to Miss Phillips, A set of Latin books with all the hard parts left out; and to Miss Juliet Fauntleroy, A package of ‘“‘dates’’ with the siricere love of everyone of her pupils. ANNIE TuRNER, Testator.
