THE C AK, 1 933 LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the Senior Class of 1933, as we see growing nearer the day when we shall depart from our Alma Mater, and realizing the inability of carrying our col- lege possessions with us, do hereby make and declare our last Vill and Testament. To Dr. Wilcox we leave our sincerest thanks for the many things he has done for us. To the faculty we leave the right to direct the incoming students of this college out of the depths of ignorance into the light of knowledge. To the Junior Class we leave the suggestion that they have as good a sponsor as Aliss Ziegler. To the Sophomore Class we leave our many sup- posed privileges in hopes that they will make as much use of them as we have. To the Freshmen we leave our sincerest hope that they will have enough members n;xt year to ha ' e class officers. F. H. Allen, Jr., Testator. 25
