Being only carefree, impoverished and improvident minors and mendi- cants, our estate is in Spain and of no more than imaginary value, where- fore we make no disposal thereof in this, our first and sole testamentary document. Our right to existence as Seniors, being but a concession from the State, is not at our disposition. These items excepted, all else in high school we now proceed to will and divide. Item. NVe leave to all Boys and Girls, that only for that portion, of their lives which they pass in high school, all and every correct solution to each and every sum in algebra, geometry, chemistry, physics and allied subjects, ivith the privilege to any or all of them freely as the need arises. fem. XVe leave to every Boy and Girl long, long days in which to be happy, and no, no days in which to scribble tests. Item. VVe bequeath to each of them a succession of teachers who have not forgotten the days of their own incarceration in school and are lenient accordingly in small matters of punctuality, whispering, mumbling due to the mumblers oral cavity being full of something other than words and dentals, day dreaming, total or partial lack of intelligence, illegibility and inattention. Item. VVe give to each and every Girl, to be delivered when she enters her Senior Year, a cedar chest miraculously ever full of frocks, furbelows and fripperies dear to the heart of a Senior Girl. Item. To all high school Seniors we grant as glad and glorious a graduation as our own. Item. To every Boy graduate we devise the sweetest girl in seven states and to every Girl graduate we devise the handsomest man this side of Honolulu. Item. VVe bequeath to Fate, in trust for Graduates, the top rung of every ladder of fame and success, to be adjusted under their feet. Item. VVe will to time, enduring friendships and a Royal Easy Chair drawn
