convert him to the true belief of the greatness of the Nickleodeon. VII. To Miss Tracy, we leave this tennis racquet in remembrance of the glorious showing we made at the An¬ nual Tennis Tournament in Berkeley. With tears in our eyes we beg that this will be a continual reminder of the many hard days of practice we spent in preparation for this great day. VIII. After much coaxing, our dignified president of the student body was persuaded to part with the one ob¬ ject he has enjoyed and cherished during the four years of his high school life. This, his pet top, we leave to Law¬ rence Smith. IX. A hurdle, which for the past year has been in con¬ stant use by two of the feminine members of the class, we leave to Harriet, hoping she will be in time as proficient in that line as its former possessors. X. To Ivy Burroughs, commonly known on the school campus as “Burreaux,” and otherwise as “Hairpin,” we leave with great pleasure a most useful article. It was not without a great deal of argument that we finally per¬ suaded Adelia to part with a few precious red hairs from her limited supply. This we have made into a switch and hope, Ivy, that you will appreciate it. XI. To Charles Newell, Paul Woolsey has consented to leave his powder puff and box. It is to be hoped that this will serve its purpose in the future as it has so nobly done in the past. XII. To Karl Kennedy, we leave a megaphone. To be sure, it is quality and not quantity, but we feel certain that during his strenuous exertions as yell leader it will prove a help. XIII. To Anita Laton, Adelia leaves her old Latin papers, hoping she will be able to use them with profit next year. In view of the small chance of Anita’s passing this year, we know she will find them necessary. XIV. To Lois Caniff, the honorable president of the Sophomore class, we leave something that one of our mem¬ bers found, and something which, for the past few months, has been guarded very carefully by our treasurer.

Hast AMI ant Testament of tile Class of ’ll Adelia Payne We, the Class of June, 1911, of Analy High School, of the City of Sebastopol, of the County of Sonoma, in the State of California, over the age of reasoning power, being of sound and disposing mind and memory, and not acting under duress, menace or fraud, or under undue influence of any person whatsoever, do make, publish and declare this to be the last will and testament of the class of June, 1911, and do bequeath our earthly possessions as follows: L the faculty, .we leave the bright and studious Junior class. We realize their inability to ever progress in the manner in which we have, but our advice and coun¬ sel is always at their service. II. To old Analy, we leave our remarkable reputation to be held up as a model to those Freshmen who need just such a high mark to spur them on. III. We leave to Mr. Williamson, our agriculture en¬ thusiast, a small tract of land in the S. W. half of the E. Section of Analy Township, carefully cultivated, as you see, and with all the necessary tools accompanying IV. To Miss Smith, realizing babyish ways and her love for the childish Freshmen, we leave this sweet little doll. The doll’s name is Caesar, and we are sure that we have found for it a tender and devoted mother. V. To Miss Kinnear, we leave a useful and, we think, an appropriate article. We know too well her zeal in de¬ tecting the faintest whisper in the study hall, and in order that she may find her duty easier we leave to her a magni¬ fying glass. VI. To Mr. Burd who, we well know, thinks the Nickleodeon the cause of many poor recitations in short¬ hand, we leave this roll of tickets in the hope that they may

take much pleasure in leaving her this ring. XV. To Alfred Shelton, our star touch center in basket ball, we leave an “A” sweater, hoping to encourage him in that line. XVI. To Eloise Kennedy, our tennis champion, we leave an “A.” We are very sorry not to be able to provide her with a sweater also, but those we have in our pos¬ session we found were too large. XVII. To Marguerite Jewell, we leave our one and only class pet. It must have fresh air and exercise every morning, besides any additional breath of air it might be able to get through the day. This rat we give to Mar¬ guerite to add to her choice collection and trust it will prosper under her care. XVIII. To the members of the Basketball Team we leave a supply of button hooks, hoping that next year they may find material for a new and better yell than “Who’s got a button hook?” XIX. To the Juniors, we leave row viii., seats 1-14, to be well cared for and kept spotless and immaculate as in the past. The floor surrounding them we also leave to their supervision. XX. To the Sophs, we leave our old bank book in the hope that it may be of use in their business dealings with a few young men to be used at their next class party. XXL. To the Freshmen, we leave a box of rattles and toys which are, we think, appropriate articles. We hereby nominate and appoint Mr. Perrien of the town of Sebastopol, county of Sonoma, state of Cali¬ fornia, the executor of this, our last will and testament, and hereby revoke all former wills made by us. IN WITNESS.WHEREOF, we have hereunto set our hand and seal this 16th day of June, in the year of our Lord One Thousand Nine Hundred and Eleven. CLASS 1911 (Seal) Signed, Sealed and Delivered in the presence of BERNARD WILKIE PAUL WOOLSEY
