LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT CF '25 Superintendent, Supervisor and Classmates: '25 about to die, salutes you. Contrary to the custom in such cases, and loath as are all members of our conf servative profession to establish precedents, only by request have we called you together, to hear our Will and receive our gifts. We dread to tell you, but be calm: Here is our secret. Guard it well. A consultation of doctors, never known to fail in their prognostications, have announced that on Thursday, April 30th, '25 must die- Had We known what a commotion you would raise, and how badly you would feel, the President himself could not have dragged this secret from us. We wish to state that, owing to a lightness in the head, caused by its gradual swelling during the last three years, and a heaviness in the heart and other organs caused by thots of parting and overffeasting respectively, we may have been mis' taken in our inventory, but such as we think we have, we give to you, praying that you may not believe that it is only because we cannot keep our goods that we are so generous. THE WILL We the Class of '25 being about to leave this sphere, in full possession of a sound mind, memory and understanding, do make and publish this, our last will and testament, hereby revoking and making void all former wills by us at anytime here' tufore made. And first, we do direct that our services shall be conducted by our friends and wellfwishers the Faculty, only enjoining that they be carried on with all the dignity and pomp, our situation in the Training School has merited. And to such estate as it has pleased the fates and our own strong arms to give us, we do dispose of the same as follows, viz: lst. WE give and bequeath to Miss Ehman, restful nights and peaceful dreams. YVe promise her a rest from '25's petitions. No more will we be called upon to supplicate. No more will she be pained to refuse. It has been hard to have our fondest wishes denied. It must have been hard for her to refuse such fair pleaders. She has done her duty tho, and has her reward, but OH! how much easier it would have been for her and for us, if she had said YES-especially when we wanted to invite our beaux to Senior Parties. 2nd. WE give and bequeath to the JENNY LIND CHORUS as a whole, the two songs entitled: MY TASK and FAREWELL. These songs to become the pos' session of the chorus, on condition, that she hold them as a nucleus to which each year shall be added others, until she has a collection to be proud of. May Alma Mater be the theme of far better songs in the future. Page forty one Til-UEQQQQ 5555!
