SENIORS-Millicent Mayer, Henry Morgue, Ruth Young, Alta Taber, Zola Smith, Angus Gibson, Hazel Russell. CLASS ,a R E, the members of the Senior Class of Chico Quo? High, School, of the Town of Chico, of the County of Butte, of the State of California, knowing that our end is near, for we already have one foot planted in the grave, and wishing' to make a just division of our valued properties among persons immediately connected with the school, being apparently of sound mind, but much disabled in body and generous disposition, do hereby make, publish, and declare our last will and testament: l. To the Trustees, we will and bequeath the school building, under the condition that they do not use a sliver of it for kindling wood until a new High School is built and in use. --1 WILL H. To the Teachers, we leave our thanks for the knowledge they have given us in the last four years, and also our sympathy for the loss they stiffer at our departure. Ill.. To the juniors, we bequeath all our brillancy in the U. S. History Class and also all the data written on the desks in any of the class rooms, hoping that by this means they will pass successful exes. However, we do not guarantee readable writing, but regretting that we haven't more to leave them as they are sadly in need of it, we hope that they will try to console and comfort the heart-broken faculty IV. To the Sophoniores, we will all the gum they can find sticking in conspicuous places and on the desks 6-.

Turning around we saw Wfarren Allison climbing out from under the VVreck of the Hesperusf' as he called his new aeroplane. We soon arrived at our destination and were greeted by the cheery voices of Mr. and Mrs. Harold White, the former actors -of Antony and Cleopatra. They had been married after the show in which we had seen them act, and were to be our housekeepers. The first thing she said after we got there was, HI-Iarold, put on your hat! Yes, Dear, I would like to but I think my hair will grow better if I don't ,put it on, and again it mightgive me brain fever. , Every evening we would sit out on our veranda and gaze on the glittering building which took the place of our old High School building, and a feeling of sad- ness would come to us -to think that the people of Chico would not send the old building to Washington, D. C., as a curiosity. It was in this abode that we would spend the rest of our happy days of sweet memories of the good times we had when we went to the old C. H. S. ..15..
