The privilege of sitting in the back seats decided at a recent meeting of our renowned faculty that on June 23, ,OS must leave her Alma Mater and depart to realms unknown, nevermpore to brighten the halls of P. H. S. by her presence. ' In view of this fact she has signified her desire to have published her last W'ill and Testament that the faculty and her under classmates may pay tribute to her generosity. My client wishes to state that owing to a swelling of the head, caused by its gradual increase of knowledge during the past four years, and a heaviness of the heart and other organs caused respectively by the thoughts of departure and much feasting at the several spreads, she may bemistaken in her inven- tory, but such as she has she gives to you. She trusts that you may not think it is only because she cannot take the goods with her that she shows such generosity but because they are not worth keeping.
