The hour is growing lateg the ' armor and swords of my forefathers are growing dim in this castleg the candles are begin- ning to flicker and the Jester with his merry wit has left me in solitude. My faithful hound is lies at my feet, the fire is burning low and I must make haste to fulfill the task which has been set before me. It seems as if with each stroke of the pen, I am leaving behind all that life has its .Ll I held dear to me for many years. I now take my quill in hand to write this the last will and 1 Z3 testament of the Class of 1927.
