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.

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.

The fleecy clouds go swiftly by, and fre- quently we are sailing through them. The Trans-Continental Air Express is due in Ylfashington within the hour. Below we see valleys carpeted with green and dotted with wild flowers, the children playing in the sunshine, and the farmer's wife waving a salute as we sail byg a trail of smoke from the Railway Limited resembling a mammoth ser- pent crawling through space in the rear, and now, in the distance, barely dis- cernable, the dome of the Capitol-my first glimpse of Washingtoii, where Presi- dent Gelder Robinson, Congressman jack Spenser, Stuart Quern and Jack Mil- stead, the leading lawyers of the Nation's C'apital, are bringing to pass that which was predicted by the Class Prophetess of ,2l.
