V I tp' Si 1 F L X . ITHACANSIAN, Class Will I think nothing is more pleasant than to see a good man really rising in the world slowly, but surely, they seem to find their way to the front at last. There are some men who, so to speak, are bound to get on. When they have planted their feet on the first rung of the ladder, they must needs mount. V . Certain it is that life is a serious thing that should be governed neith- er by caprice nor thrown away on chance. Life is long, and its many succeeding ages and phases brings its many duties, and with the duties the highest responsibilities. Life is often rugged, it is not always young and joyous. Soon come trials, struggles, labors, and contrarieties of every kind., These are given us as :foundations of life. During the inexperience of our youth life flies gaily on like a pleasant adventure, without care, without any foresight, without any plan. And so have ours flown till the time has come when we must begin to make plans for our future. Occasions of learning and self-improvement come, stay with us for a short time, then fly, and the wheels of time shall not be reversed to bring them back, once they are gone. If we neglect them, we shall be permanent losers for this life and cannot say how much we may be losers hereafter. Before emerging from this sphere of knowledge, it is necessary to make arrangements for the distribution of certain articles which will be useless to us in the future and will aid greatly those who are yet to strug- gle in the paths of learning and have to gain the supposed- fame and knowledge of those departing. We will, therefore, take this day, the SEVENTH of JUNE, nineteen hundred twenty-three, to declare this to be our last Will and Testament. ARTICLE I. To the Seniors of next year, as customary, we bequeath the assembly room and contents and exclusively the right of sitting on the back seats talking, eating candy, chewing gum and consequences thereof, which consist usually of a front seat on platform. ARTICLE II. We give the classes the right of initiating plans for making money, so that they may cross the bridges of preparation and glide through the portals of opportunity in perfect ease. t ARTICLE III. We give to the Seniors of next' year the privilege of being bored and tormented by the Freshmen. ARTICLE IV. Vinal Tabor and George Teachman will, bequest and bequeath to William Knickerbocker and Frank Stone the privilege of con- suming gallons of oil in midnight study so that they may make of them- selves more worthy specimens of human nature. ARTICLE V. To the successor of Mr. Wolfe, we grant for one year, the right of disturbing the equalibrium of the lower classmen by yelling at them with such force that the echoes rebound and resound from far and near.
