iiiiifixidiiyf site Roe UE-' g7iEF3iliiYl'iv3' Senior Will It was found underneath the big pine tree in front of the old dilapidated school building, formerly known as Ashland High School. This building was being removed, as was the tree, to make place for the thirteenth skyscraper to be built in Ashland. Snugly nestled among the roots was a small box, bearing an inscription which read, 'The Last VVill and Testament of the Class of '25. In very small print below were the words. See Mr. Forsythe for key.'J In due time the key was obtained from Professor B. C. Forsythe, A. B. C. D. E., a member of the Harvard faculty. After the box was opened, a small piece of paper fell out, on which was written, Immerse the large piece of paper in this box in some black ink. After this was done, the will of the class of '25 was brought to light. It read: Being in a state of mental telepathy and wholly unbalanced mind, we the Senior Class of Ashland High School, do this day tMay, Friday, 13, 19251 solemnly swear that this is our one and only, next to the last, will and testament that we will ever make.
