SECTION IX ARTICLE I. To the future boarders, we do gladly bequeath all stains on the floors, tackholes in the walls, broken wires on the window seats, scratched and generally abused furniture, worn-out brooms and dustpans, and abandoned room-mates, as souvenirs of the Class of Sixteen—that the memory of us may always be fresh in their minds. SECTION X ARTICLE I. We do will all of our superfluous flesh, to be distributed among the students, as seems most fitting, by Elizabeth Rankin and Ellen Finley. SECTION XI Article I. To the Facu l.y , we do will all of our red and blue pencils, with the hope that they will use them on the papers of future students much more sparingly than they have on ours; for we do greatly fear that these mementos will be of short duration. SECTION XII ARTICLE I. Laura Gillon leaves her height to Mabel Dabbs. SECTION XIII ARTICLE I. Sarah Hawkins does will her volubility, to be distributed equally between Elsie Johnson and Co rinna Johnston. SECTION XIV ARTICLE I. Caroline Constable leaves her good times at Davidson to Mary Louise Crowell. SECTION XV ARTICLE I. In conclusion, as we are about to depart from these hallowed precincts for parts un- known, and leave behind us many friends, we hope that some day we may return, and find the glad hand awaiting us. (Signed) CLASS OF 1916 at Queens College Sworn and subscribed to before me, this the first day of March, 1916. Witness my hand and notarial Seal. (Signed) Margaret Skelton (Seal) Notary Public A H !

SECTION III ARTICLE I. To the Freshman Class is given the proud and lorldly traits so common to the Sophomore. May they stand by the rising Senior Class as our sisters have stood by us. SECTION IV Article I. To the class yet unborn, the Class of nineteen hundred and twenty, we bequeath four years of college life, with all its trials and pleasures, its joys and tribulations. Article II. To this embryonic class we do give company with some of the best girls in existence. ARTICLE III. We do also give unto the Class of nineteen hundred and twenty, the traditions and records of this College, to be kept and hallowed throughout the existence of the said Class at this College. ARTICLE IV. To the aforesaid class we do bequeath our colors—old gold and blue; our motto; and our flowers. SECTION V ARTICLE I. To our dearly beloved dean, Miss Young, we give our most sincere thanks for the wise and motherly care which she has so generously bestowed on us. May all classes to come give her less (certainly no more) trouble than we have given her. SECTION VI Article I. To Doctor Bridges, we do will every Ethics book used by the Class of Sixteen; and we do hope the dear Doctor will, on some rough night, thrust the aforesaid books into the furnace, and that the heat therefrom will warm his heart toward the Class of Sixteen and the future students of Ethics, so that he will be unable to flunk anyone who carries upon her shoulders such a weight as Ethics. SECTION VII Article I. To the future students of modern languages, we do willingly bequeath all of our books concerning these subjects, together with certain invaluable aid throughout the aforementioned books. ARTICLE II. We leave our privilege of free access to the lectures on international relations and diplomacy, on neutrality, and other deep subjects, to all future foreign language students, hoping that they may enjoy and profit by them as much as we have. SECTION VIII Article I. To all future editors of the Annual, we most joyfully leave our nerves, bones, and brains shattered in compiling such a book, together with the abuse, curses, indignations, threats, and such other miscellaneous equipment that has been hurled at the aforementioned editors during the year.
