T E, the class of 1927, being poor, but hopeful of unsound body and mentally deficient do hereby bequeath, will and transfer all of our mental, moral, personal and spiritual possessions (?) to each of the undersigned, unfortunate encumbents. It must be distinctly, un¬ questionably understood and accepted as the truth, that this will rescinds, annuls, and voids all previous documents of like nature, and that each of the participants in the undermentioned, remains, covenants, and agrees to abide by the distribution of said mental, moral, personal and spiritual possessions (Do we have them?) as herein outlined and allotted. Whereas the faculty has been so conscienciously unscrupulous in making us walk the chalk line and in guiding us in the straight and narrow paths of musical knowledge and endeavor, we hereby devise to them our deepest gratitude and sincerest affections. Whereas our beloved Mr. Cowles and Mr. Gruber have always shown such a tremendous personal interest in our class activities and individual problems, we bequeath to them our continuous support in making our Alma Mater greater as the years come and go. Whereas our sponsor has co-operated so untiringly to make our class activities successful we convey to her, our lasting friendship and deep appreciation. Whereas the Junior Class has exhibited its wholehearted envy of our superiority and dignity, we leave to them both of the aforementioned qualities, together with all of our many senior privileges. (? ? ? ?) Whereas the Sophomores will soon be Juniors we will to them, the hope that they will be as magnificient in the glory of achievements, as Thirty-six we were. Whereas the Freshmen have a long, weary, tiresome, and arduous pilgrimage ahead of them before they reach our present state of blissful ignorance, we transfer to them our abundant superfluity of stickability, hoping that it will enable them to stick to the bitter end. 01 eta Albertson , leaves “Her dirty look ' ’ to Ruth Sitton.
