' X powers that rule the universe, do hereby devise, declare, 'l and ordain this our last will and testament, namely, to-wit: After the surgeon's bill and necessary and due hospital and funeral expenses be paid, we donate the sum of 31.50 to our beloved school, wherewith a ,fitting memorial may be erected to our memory. Xllith full realization that nature has endowed this class with abnormal devel- opment in the three aspects of human life, viz.: body, mind and soul, we hereby devise and bequeath these heritages to future generations. XfVe bestow our several attainnients where most needed, and where they will bring forth the greatest good to posterity. Upon the 'lluniors we settle our physical powers as demonstrated upon the gym iloor and athletic field, a possession they have long coveted. To the Sophomores we be-- queath our moral power and mastery, viz. : our ability to resist the allure- ments of frivolity and pleasure, as evidenced in our resistance of more than one date a month, joy rides, moonlight picnics, et Cetera. And lastly to the Freshmen we leave our unrivalled intellect, trusting that some day they may orate in the halls of Congress or bring honor to their nation as eminent engineers, physicians or statesmen.. Individually the following bequests are made. Mr. lra Thomas hereby donates his O, S1 S. pin to Miss Mary XYalsh till death do them part. That bond of secret sympathy which binds heart to heart and soul to soul is hereby bequeathed by Ruth Goodrich and Claude Ray to Ruth Ross and Hunter Palmer, with fond hopes thatthey, too, may know the joy of anticipated union. Mr. Hardy, our distinguished financier, settles his habits of strict economy upon his counterpart, Oscar Swanson. Miss Marion MacFarlane gives the original manner of arranging her be- witching curls to Estelle Frey. Of course Eistelle doesn't have to forfeit her own originality. The intellectual attainnients of Theo Emmerson and Alfred Sinden are bestowed upon Fara Dozier and Allen Mickle. Hazel Quinn beciueaths her Sphinx-like silence to Professor Enos Lau- terhach. Nina Means donates all her unnecessary flesh to Roy Thomas. Realizing that size is a great help to a presidential candidate. Sarah Harding lovingly beclueaths a few inches and ounces upon the al- ready ponderous physique of lack Boucher. llfe the undersigned swear that this last will and testament has been duly drawn and devised in accordance with the ,laws of the State of Colorado. And we hereby afhrm that, to our knowledge, no intimida- ll A . -' I

Y . - ,i AL ,ff ,f - Claude Ray, and on the rugged paths of experience I have learned to make ice cream and candy to sweeten liife's sorrows. Let me gain favor with your people by setting up an ice cream parlor in their midst. Soon a lady spoke: I would show your citizens all the beauties of this life by painting for them wonderful pictures. Every one knows what prominence the name of Isabel Taylor has gained in the world of art. Another lady stepped into the open circle: I have reached the City of Success by teaching children in the school throughtout the country. I am your schoolmate, Francis Norman, and I would instruct the youths of the city in the way of learningf, A jolly young woman, carrying a large box, next came forward. 'I You will be surprised to know that I am 'Skinny Meansf for I have become a naturalist and a student of bugs and worms. Come and see the specimens in my box. Oh, Olpportunity, let all the people bring me samples oi the bugs which molest their gardens, and I shall tell them how to kill the pests. ' Mr. Charles Wfalker then arose to speak: H I have risked my life to save others many times, and where there is a burning building I am always prompt to rescue those who are in danger. Let me be chief hreman of your city, f As he finished two red and white clowns rolled out in front of Opportunity. Hfliiin and Ed! was the universal cry. After giving a short performance, they spoke in one voicef 'A XYe can give the people all the sport they wish from morn to eve. A gentleman who had hitherto remained in the background then came forward, carrying a queer looking pan attached to an electric motor: I bring to you the Sinden patent dishwasher. Many other such devices have been tried and have failed, and I have been taunted and ridiculed for wasting my time, but I bring to you a perfect model, which will completely eliminate the clrudgery of dish washing. Only one person was left, and Opportunity beckoned him to her. I-Ie came carrying a note book and pencil. H Here is my achievement, said Alden, displaying the book. I have taken down in shorthand every word here uttered. Can you deny me entrance to your city P For a moment all was silence, and then the white-robed Oppor- tunity addressed the company: All of you are well deserving of the right to dwell within the glorious City of Success, and through your own persistent eiorts you have earned the sparkling gems of I-Iappiness, which I myself place in your outstretched hands.
