@ iors and now the might of their influence is felt in many places. Three others leaving, however, the number is still ten whose names are oft seen in play casts, high offices of the Student Body, the Staff of the La Revista and many other activities. No cloud o’er-shadows this happy class of youths who are the dignified Seniors. One new member comes to the number but two leave in a short time. In the heart of each cone is a longing to be out in the wide, wide world and living life, but this longing is tempered with memories of joyous days and happy companions to be left behind.

Clarence Weinland ‘21 @igiee Vy ire Upon behalf of my client, the Class of 1921 of the Banning Union High School, City of Banning, County of Riverside, State of California, United States of Amer- ica, | have called you together upon this solemn and serious occasion, to listen to her last will and testament, and to re- ceive from her dying hands the few gifts she has to bestow in her last moments. Departing so suddenly from life and finding so many things of such gigantic proportions to be at- tended to before the end should come upon her, realizing the same time that she had no longer any time left to spend in cultivation of her own virtues she did collectively and in- dividually deem it best to distribute these virtues with her own hands to those friends to whose needs they seem best fitted. Listen then while I read the document as duly drawn and sworn to: She leaves :— Her scholarly habits to the Sophomores. Her originality and initiative to the Juniors. Her standing in good graces of the faculty to the Fresh- men. Her dignity to the Sophomores inasmuch as the Juniors are too set in their ways to make the best of it. Page Seven
