THE SPAN-1931 LAST W1LL AND TESTAMENT HE SPAN STAFF of 1931 most willingly bequeath their erasers, pencils, papers, pens, paper clips, notebooks, etc., and what will be left, by June fourth, of their fast decreasing energy and once well-built up nervous system, to the SPAN Staff of 1932. The officers of the Class of 1931 do bequeath to the officers of next year's graduating class any ability they may have in collecting class dues, holding class meetings, getting unanimous agreements on votes and the strong will and vitality necessary to accomplish these things. The Class of 1931 most humbly and heartily bequeath to next yearls Seniors the one or two pages of notes that are not going in their curriculum books, any of their surplus will- power to be used every Saturday morning next year, and that nonchalant and clauntless air which is donned when seeing little white slips inscribed with their names, posted on the bulletin board.
