(Class I pon behalf of mv client, the class of 1018. of Hcnlon Town-'|'ip High School, of the city of Hcnlon. State of Illinois. I nited States of America. I have called you together ii|Kin this solemn and serious occasion, to listen to her Inst will and testament, and to receive from her dying hand the few gifts she has to bestow in her last moments. A consultation of doctors was called together on May the first, and they predicted that on June the first the Class of 11)18 was doomed to die. My client wishes me to state that owing to a lightness in the head caused by it gradual swelling during the last four years, and a heavy heart due to thoughts of parting and our feasting, that it is probable that she may have l ccn mistaken in her inventory: but such things as she thinks she has. she hereby gives into your possession, trusting that you may not believe that it is only l ccausc she cannot keep her goods that she is generous. She has tried to lx- just a- well as impartial in the distribution of such gifts, as she has in her jmwer to Itcslow. After thoughtful and dclilterate consideration, these are the decisions at which she has finally arrived. Listen, then, one and all. while I read the document, as duly drawn up and sworn to: THE WILL We. the Class of 11)18. al out to depart from this sphere of education, in j osscssion of a crammed mind, a well-trained memory, and an almost superhuman understanding, do make, ordain, publish, declare, ami cause to Ik executed, this, our last 23 am will ami test aim-lit. hereby revoking ami making void all former will ami codicil . I»y us al any lime heretofore made. First, We do direct dial our fuiiend services shall bo conducted bv our illustrious friend, the principal, who lias l»een our guardian for so long, only enjoining, as the last injunction of the dying, that tin- funeral Ik carried on with all dignity and pomp that our position as Seniors must certainly deserve. Second. We will and l cqucnth to the dear faculty, who have Iwren our instructors in nil the wisdom of the ages, an unbroken succession of restful nights and peaceful dreams. No longer need they lie awake through the long watches of the night, to worry over the uncertainty of whether the Senior boys arc getting their lessons. We also promise them a rest from l!MS s petition . They have performed their duty well and. verily, now shall they have their well-earned reward. 1 o next year’s basketball team, we will the ability of Clarence Eskew. Tillman Morgan. Eddie Davis ami Paul Jones. We will and bequeath to the Junior Class the Senior seal -. Let every member show his gratitude hv endeavoring to fill them as faithfully, as promptly, and quietly as we have done. We will and bequeath to Miss Seymour, a quiet assembly, in the future. We will the Frcdimuu Class the statue of Liuroln, and that no further harm shall come to him. All the rest and residue of our properly, whatsoever and wheresoever, of what nature, hind, quality, soever it may be.
