The Senior Class bequeaths to — Mr. Bixby, a plan for a sound proof office so that the noise which exists between classes will not disturb him. Mr. Sanderson, a box of new cartoons to be placed on the bulletin board so that the students unfortunately dismissed from classes will have something to pass the time away with while waiting outside the office.

Mr. Stubbs, a book of matches, so that future Chemistry classes will have something to light their Bunsen burners with.
