i QD. all t i l 1 J year with Red Clark to all those requiring it for the coming twenty-five years. Walter Kemler does bestow upon Freddy Bliss his well-known tendency to doubt past, future, and generally the present. We warn Freddy not to shake too severely the faith of his fellow-students with his increased pessimistic view- point. . Q ' Ruth King bestows nothing. She has given so much faithful service along scholastic lines and impetus toward better intellectual life that any smaller gift would be cheap in comparison. i l Jui Ying Kwong does give and bequeath her smiling good nature to Steve Nisbet. Nlay he be unsparing in its use.l Florence Leighton does bestow her dour and solemn nature upon Emma Ardis. Heaven grant that the latter change all her frowns to smiles! Ann Lyons and Virginia Tremaine, the Cheboygan twins, do give and bequeath their spirit of companionship to that distant and formal pair, Elliot Crooks and Ruth Richards. May they follow the example and cement a closer friendship. Elno Duncan McGlone leaves his shrinking unobtrusive, and backward dis- position to timid and modest Harold Fildey. John Maurer does give and bequeath his famous laugh to Frank Prouty with the recommendation that the letter exchange it for the bray of the first army- mule he encounters. Erwin Merriam bestows his bass voice upon President Crooks for use in his numerous conferences and in announcing chapel hymns. Margaret Morrison leaves one member of the nobility to the care of some strong, capable person selected by the Student Council. Willful Rebel Patton does give and bequeath to the ex-members of the La- Follette Club the sole and exclusive right to appeal to and tender petitions to the faculty and any other persons upon any subject that may suit their sweet will. May their appeals have more effect than his have had. Donald Pugsley leaves his Ford to Professor Cook to be used in place of the famous bicycle in his daily transits to and from the office. A five per cent income tax shall' be levied upon the students of the college to provide gasoline. Frederick Shaver leaves his famous pair of elbows to the first Junior who shall equal his foul record during this year's basketball season. John Shroyer leaves his beautiful black hair to Dr. Randels. Rhea Joy Stinson leaves her timidity and bashfulness to Sheik Couture who stands woefully in need of these qualities. ' Augusta Sturtridge leaves the come hither glances of her eyes to Hope YVinslow. May she use them with as much discretion as Gussie has done. Sinclair Tebo does give and bequeath his argumentative abilities' to Rev. Kinney and Nlelvin Orr. They may divide them share by share as they see it. ' Clarissa Vreeland leaves the squeak in her voice to Professor Clack. Elizabeth Williams does give and bequeath her waiting place near Dr. Mac- Curdy's class room,door to Dorothy Allen. Harry Williams does give and bequeath his Chessy cat grin to Hop Anderson. Howard West bestows his trombone upon Luis Nickels with the admonition to keep it claen and in good order. Vfinfred Percy VVilson bestows upon Keith Tarrant his right to talk on any subject, to any person, in any place, at any time. Carl VVood bestows his frequent lapses into silence upon Earl Closser. Roger Wright does give and bequeath to the Athletic Association and to Elwell friends the bruises sustained in four years of college life. V Done before me, this seventh day of April, in the Year of Our Lord, 1925. Wit- ness my hand and seal. CSignedj VVILMER R. PATTON. Zuma. Coit,i.ece ij? 2 N inety-ei gh!
