Senior Will Know all Students by These Presents: — That we, the Senior Class of 1910, of the El Reno High School, County of Canadian, State of Okla- homa, being of sound mind and memory and uninfluenced by any person or persons whomsoever, expecting soon to dissolve partnership and to leave for scenes of greater activities, and wishing to make this our last will and testament. First: To the Juniors, we do give, devise and bequeath our most highly valued possessions to-wit; the entire upper floor of our spacious building, together with all teachers who may have the courage to labor therein without the protection of our presence. Second: To the Sophomores, we do bequeath such of our personal effects as we feel sure will withstand the ravages of time; to-wit, our numerous books of references, the legendary tin cup, Miss Barbour’s wel- coming smile and pleasant words when one has the good fortune to appear late to school. Third: Unto the present Freshmen we do grant and bestow our sincere sympathy and consign them to the watchful care of Prof. Thuermer, trusting that he may continue to bestow upon them the same leniency of discipline which he has thus far employed. Fourth: To the incoming Freshman class, we bequeath the first round taken from our High School ladder, with this advise: “Exercise great care in placing your feet thereon; for if you should fall, we shall not be present to lift you up, and others may not be so kind. Do not pay too much attention to Prof. Thuermer’s gentle threats, but climb steadily upward, looking continually toward the heights to which we have attained.” Fifth: We do grant and bequeath all the special privileges which are ours by right of inheritance unto the following named persons to-wit: To the Freshie, Joy Faucher, the individual and undisputed permission to “ cut ” study period at any time she may desire, even if in so doing she may find it necessary to crawl out on hands and knees; to Anna Libby we leave the High School piano to dispose of in any way she may desire; to the Fr. Jas. Wright and the Soph. Francis Esibell we award the contract of sup- plying the Senior girls with gum for an indefinite period of time. And finally, to the Faculty we bequeath our respect, gratitude, and love for their unselfish and untiring efforts in helping us win for ourselves that most priceless of all possessions and that which cannot be willed away, “ Knowledge.” We do nominate and appoint Supt. F. N. Howell, sole executor of this our last will and testament. In testimony whereof, we hereunto set our hand and seal, and pub- lsh and decree this to be our last will and testament, this twenty-seventh day of May, One Thousand Nine Hundred and Ten. CLASS OF 1910. Signed and sealed i.. my presence this twenty-seventh day of May. 1910. JONATHAN WISE. Notary Public. My commission expires at 12 o’clock, midnight. May 27. 1910. —L. G.
