c ' LBJ 5 ! Q . observe this board frequently in order that they may keep abreast of the tiH16S alid also that they may be reminded of a class meeting. We do also leave to our worthy successors, the Juniors, the privilege of missing their lunch twice a week by reason of their attendance at such meetings. Item V: Wfe do bequeath, with the greatest sorrow and reluctance, upon the heads of the often heretofore mentioned Juniors, our famous and oft abused Senior dignity and, likewise, our self-importance. It is our earnest wish and hope that our successors will at least make an attempt to reach the high water mark which has been set by us. Of our wonderful cleverness and ability we do make no disposition to the said Juniors, knowing full well the hardship we would thereby entail upon their feebler intellect in making the vain attempt to imitate our brilliant achievements. Item VI: VVe do hereby bequeath and leave to Mr. McCall-more like one of us than a stern, harsh principal-to all our teachers and to all the lower classmen, our most earnest and best wishes for the future. We do leave to the faculty our heart-felt gratitude for the manner in which they have led us through a miry road of difficulties into the pleasant paths of knowledge. We most sincerely hope that the faculty in the future years will not entirely forget the good wishes which the Class of '21 does now bestow upon them. -THE CLASS or '21 CSealj.
