Class Will lt is now with great solemnity that we approach the funereal task of bequeathing to the class of 1918 our hereditaments, hoping that they will strive to thus attain the virtuous heights reached by the class of 1917. VVe appreciate fully the stu- pendous task which is to be placed on their young shoulders so we feel certain that there are many words of comfort and advice which we can bestow on them. So hearken ye 1918rs whilst we p1'oclaim this our last will and testament. WILL Know all men by these presents that we, of the Class of 1917 of the Evanston Academy of the Northwestern University of Evanston, in the County of Cook, in the State of Illinois, in the United States of America, being of sound and disposing mind and memory for the purpose of making a proper disposition of our possessions after our departure do hereby make, publish and proclaim the following to be our last will and testament for the uses and purposes herein set forth hereby revoking all others or former wills or codicils which we have made. First: Our chapel seats, which we have occupied daily when not called to other duties or pleasures, we readily and most gladly bequeath and hope that the Class of 1918 will profit by the words of wisdom which will fall upon their young ears. Do not whisper nor study at this time lest you be reminded un- kindly of it later. Second: To the Class of 1918 we bequeath the inspiration and spirit of determi- nation with which our athletes have fought for their HE. Third: We do also with great sorrow leave behind us the spots which have been worn in the rug in the office by the constant treading of the feet of the 1917rs. Fourth: Furthermore we do bequeath a few words of advice: . 1. Do not cut on, scratch, or stick gum under the arms of the seats in the class rooms lest your sin be rewarded by many bills and great quantities of lecturing. 2. Do not interrupt nor disturb the study hour of your neighbor nor steal his time from his lessons. 3. Do not talk about your schoolmates nor their clothes, but of your teachers you can gossip to your heart's content. 4. Do not covet your neigliborls beauty nor his books. Borrow them. 5. When your agile feet long to take you with great velocity down the main hall to the outer world, Stop! Look! Listen! 6. Refrain from studying when the campus and Chotj dogs are calling you. Fifth: To the following Senior Class, we bequeath those who were on pleasure bent. Sixth: To our beloved Academy we give all our loyalty and promises of our support forever. May we always live up to her-ideals. 31
