Comzccticuf F-roebcl .Vornml 13 .ifil V x ii 'mi I1 - Q. A Tr is-A -N E.F.Ci m' X' HE Class of 1922, though far from contemplating an immediate entrance I into Elysian fields, realizes the necessity of publishing its last will and testament. One of the greatest and most cherished epoehs of our lives must soon end. The scholastic fortune we wish to distribute among those whose influence, friend- ship and kindness have made our school-life ideal. hVc trust that those whom we have singled out as objects of our benefieenee will profit by the gifts bestowed and remember cheerfully, if not tcarfully, those who have gone beyond. To 1923 we leave the happy faculty and geniality and comradeship which has characterized '22 from the start. Ruth Drew leaves to May Reilly, her endless stream of mail from New Haven which threatened to disrupt the Bridgeport Postal Service during the past year. Helen Smith presents to Mary Ford her frequent, nay, habitual permissions, feeling assured that Mary will know how to utilize them to advantage. Lillian 0,Leary bequeaths to Irene Blakeman her lofty height with all the advantages that the same entails. Flavian Brennan leaves to Helen Harding the qualities which constitute womanly perfection. Olive Page leaves to Edith Saxe her frequent week-ends which are guaran- teed to relieve somewhat the routine of school-life. Marion 'Weed leaves her genius for writing poetry to Mary Kelly, including an abundance of inspirations proper to all occasions.

. 14 Your Book Virginia Arnold leaves to Mary Ford a suggestion as to the best manner of becoming an idea.l correspondent while in school. Virginia would advise the utilization of class periods exclusively for writing letters. Elizabeth Coughlin leaves to Dorothy Lowe her chair in the Psychology Class with the earnest hope that she may never have to occupy it.. Kathleen Ryan leaves her fondness for silence and for finding pleasure in her own thoughts to Mildred Gabbett in order that these two virtues may still live on in C. F. N. ' Lillian Drew confers on Virginia Arnold the hund1'ed things which she never had time to do, urging Virginia to start now so that she may accomplish them by 1924. Josephine Maher bestows on Jeannette Leech her regular attendance at Folf Dancing, and her stirring rendition of Scottish airs. Ruth Young bequeaths to Marion Barreuther a scholastic schedule which may seein a little burdensome at first but will entail no qualms of conscience when school is abandoned. Marion King gives to Mildred Borel her splendid school spirit and talent for putting over everything she undertakes in the most. effective manner. To C. F. N. we leave our profound gratitude for the uniform kindness and generosity evidenced towards us, together with the assurance that the coming years will find us faithful to the principles and ideals ineuleated here. -Elsie E. Clark.
