V. L. Society, and during all this time we retained our place as stars in athletics. As Seniors, we lost two of our most valued class mates, Ethel Graham and Evelyn Smith, who entered Mission High School in San Francisco. But nevertheless our former influences still remained and we can not help but look back with pride to our achievements. The Last Will and Testament of the Class of 1912 KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS that we, the graduating class of June, 1912, of the Cloverdale Union High School, of the City of Cloverdale, of the State of California, of these United States of America, being of sound mind and full age, do make, publish, and declare this our last will and testa ment; that is to say : 1. We bequeath to the Freshmen our dignity of bearing and solemnity of manner, which they are to assume on all possible occasions as was characteristic of its former owners. 2. Seeing the lack of such a possession we do herewith be¬ queath to the class of 1914 our noble High School Spirit. 3. We do will to the High School students the bust of Gaius Julius Caesar—on condition that they do not mutilate his be¬ loved countenance and that they show it the same respect that was shown it by the departing class. 4. We do will and bequeath to the aforesaid High School students our most valued prescription which we highly recom¬ mend for success in life: Rx. 16 oz. ambition, 12 oz. cheerfulness, 8 oz. laughter; dissolve in 10 oz. of studiousness. To be shaken well and taken in large doses each morning before breakfast. 10
