We leave our home room, our seats in chapel, our dignified CU manner, our place in the hearts of the faculty, and our school spirit. And for the Sophomores, we have nothing left but a lot of good UD advice. Do not study too hard Cdo not even studyj for it does not pay. It will make you sick and unhealthy. If you would obtain good grades without study, then you should always laugh at the teacher's jokes. even though you may have heard them hundreds of times, bring the teacher a nice shiny apple every morning and be always willing to run here and there as a messenger boy or girl. Besides these gifts of an ordinary nature, we leave of our own free will this school in which we have spent a pleasant four years and in testimony whereof, we hereunto set our hand and seal, and declare this to be our last Will and Testa- ment, this 23rd day of May, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and forty-six.
