T H E E C H 0 HW Last IL'ill and Testament We, the most grave, reserved. and potent. Senior (.'lass, in the year 1925, County of Ignorance, State of Insanity, retaining no possession of our normal human faculties, feeling complete decay of our mental powers, being of an indisposing disposition, and being aware that our career here is rapidly reaching its anti-climax, do here and now make and declare this our last Will and Testament. First: To our immediate successors, the aspiring Juniors, in order that they may be successful in the position they are about to occupy, we l equcath our dishonorable rank upon the pit of Scniordom. Second: To our esteemed friends, the Sophomores, by whom we have been so well scandalized, we do bequeath our good looks and winning ways, stipulating that they shall take as great pride in these qualities and display as much honest egotism as have we. Third: To those who are just embarking upon the sea of knowledge, namely, the rats, sometimes slangily referred to as Freshmen, wc will a deep and abiding sympathy; also whatever initiative and qualities of endurance remain to us from our own experience in sailing through that turbulent sea. Fourth: For prominent students wc make the following distinctive provisions : 1. To the most needy aspirants: two specimens of literature entitled, Mv Superhuman Ability f«»r Eating Peanuts and Chewing Gum, and. How I Manage on a High School Lunch, lx th by Robert Lee Sudduth. 2 Lee Rucks, the gentleman who accomplishes great things without labor, leaves to the otic proving the most worthy all that remains of that which has assisted materially in making him famous, namely his excruciating voice. 3. Bert Seagcr leaves his good wishes to the many sorrowful feminine hearts. Fifth: Wc leave our most sincere regards, appreciation, and best wishes to the members of our beloved faculty who have piloted us through four years of studious ambition. For any unpleasantness wc may have caused them in the past by our trying conduct, we are truly sorrowful and ! cg forgiveness. We hereby bequeath: 1. To our principal, our appreciation, in recognition of his extreme patience and forbearance with us. 2. To .Mr. Tinsley, the principle of love, honor, and obedience. 3. To Mr. Webb, the hope that wc shall some day hear his name mentioned in the realms of science. Sixth: As a final bequest to the school in general, we leave a ten volume dictionary which we trust will serve the school and be a memory of this class. May it also serve as an inspiration to the undergraduates, that they may think of the brilliant minds of their illustrious predecessors, and strive to emulate them. Seventh: We do herein nominate and appoint the exalted Judge Parker as sole executor of this our last Will and Testament, with the provision that the said executor, as a guarantee of the faithful performance of his duties in the premises shall lx required to give bond for three hundred and sixty-five million dollars and two cents. Witness my hand, this the 22ud day of May. nineteen hundred and twenty-five. fast Tututy-stitn Bradley Broww
