Class Will DoRoniY Stoops We, the class of '16, of the Xappanee High School, Elkhart County, Indiana, being of sound mind and disposing memory, and mind- ful of the necessity of bestowing upon less fortunate individuals than ourselves, the large amount of valuable property we have accumulated during the past four years of our High School career, do declare this to be our last will and testament. There being no debts standing against us (?), we bequeath our real and personal prop- erty as follows: Item I. To Professor Miller, we bequeath a large number of class play texts, representing nine dollars and one cent ($9.01) (one cent war tax). Item II. To Mr. Fisher, the class unanimously be- queaths the Application and Deportment book with a box provided with lock and key which is now under construction in the manual training room. We sincerely hope that said box will be a suitable fortress against the invading enemy. Item III. To Miss Taggart, we will a dress pattern and a thimble, that future classes may be permitted the pleasure of indulging in sew- ing and conversation. Item IV. To Mr. Manwaring, we bequeath the task of training all future theatrical aspirants for Class Plays. Item V. To Miss Kolbe, we set aside twenty-six dol- lars and thirty-seven cents ($26.37 i. the in- terest of which is to be used in tuning the school piano at least every two years, so fu- ture choruses will not find it so difficult to keep in tune. Item VI. To Mr. Whitehead, we bequeath all the front seats in Room 3, for diciplining bad bays. Item VII. To Miss Guild, we bequeath our best wishes for her future happiness, in proof of which we leave her the British flag used in the ( lass Play, which was made with our own hands. Item VIII.

Mary Mutschler, bequeath all my vast information concerning Geometry to whomever it might be of use. Also I bequeath my faculty for making rhymes to Francis Parks.
