CLASS WILL a» r r. We, the Senior Class of the Coquille High School, City of Coquille, County of Coos, State of Oregon, of the school year 1914-15, realizing that this life is of uncertain duration, and that therefore it is highly desirable that we should make provision for the distribution of the worldly accumulations of our High School days, in the event of our untimely departure from this sphere of usefulness, do publish and declare this our last Will and Testament, on this the twenty-ninth day of February, in the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and fifteen, hereby revoking all former wills made by us. To the Junior Class we will the honor and right of occupying the two west rows of seats in the assembly hall of the Coquille High School, situated in the City of Coquille, Section one Township twenty-eight South, Range thirteen West, County of Coos, State of Oregon. To the aforesaid we further will the traditional and time-honored Cane, trusting that they will guard it with the most zealous care. To the Coquille High School we will that portion of the “Hook,” captured by its students in open combat, and retained in commemoration of a great victory, which the Seniors obtained. To the Juniors we give and bequeath our immeasurable prosperity and popularity. To the Coquille High School of the future, we will our wonderful capacity for learning, in the hope that the high standard we have so laboriously set may be always maintained. To Janitor Peart we leave the accumulations of Real Estate, which he has not infrequently removed from beneath our seats. Miss Janey Lowe bequeaths to Olive Howey her unchangeable and exalted political principles. Geneva Robinson wills to Mary Levar the exquisite style, which she possesses of doing her hair. Miss Edna Harlocker wills to Mary Fusonne her wonderful mastery of the art of coquetry. Hazel Radabaugh, realizing that her charmingly melodious laugh will no longer be of use to her, magnanimously devises it to Vera Kelley.
