Senior Will We, the Senior class of the High School of Meridian, of the County of Ada and State of Idaho, being indisputibly of sound and disposing mind and memory and about to pass out of existence, do make, publish and declare this to be our last will and testament, hereby revoking any and all former wills by us at any time heretofore made: FIRST: We bequeath to our esteemed adviser, Colwell Miller, all the fear, admir- ation, reverence, awe, respect and deference in which we hold him that he may, when we are gone, distribute said fear, admiration, reverence, awe, respect and deference impartially among the incoming Freshmen in order that said in- coming Freshmen may comport themselves with becoming circumspection in his presence, as we have always endeavored to conduct ourselves. SECOND: We bequeath to incumbent Juniors our Senior decorum, privileges, polished manners and imperial prerogatives, together with the unquestioning servitude of the faculty and student body alike, and said incumbents shall occupy the Northern section of seats in the Upper Study Hall with becoming dignity, as has been our custom. THIRDLY: We bequeath to the incumbent Sophomores any and all retiring, unob- trusive, modest and supine characteristics that may possibly ibut improbablyj remain to us under our present vainglorious exterior, remembering with ditii- culty, the quiescent state of the Juniors, who have neither the mirth-provoking verdancy of the Freshmen nor yet the blatant sophistication of the Sopho- mores nor yet the scintillating supremacy of the Seniors, the said Juniors being only, merely, nothing else but simply, Juniors. FOURTHLY: We give and bequeath to the incumbent Freshmen any .humility that may not have been crowded out of our temperaments, and the faint hope that, next year, when you are Sophomores, you may be more modest and modify, be it ever so slightly, the supercilious demeanor to be a snare and pitfall to mental growth. Also we give and bequeath to said Freshmen all our never failing loving kindness, that said Freshmen, when they be Sophomores next year, may not inflict suffering past childish endurance upon the then Freshmen. INDIVIDUALLY: Eva Anderton leaves a large share of her superior knowledge Qslightly usedj to Flora Moreland. Detailed information on how to use said knowl- edge is included. Frances Baird leaves her HOOK to all suckers in M. H. S. Margarette Braye relinquishes her bad I-IABits to Hallie Sloan. Raymond Sager leaves his brother Harley his basketball prowess. The only reason he doesn't include Olive, he's taking her with him. Hazel May leaves her bottle of Mellin's Food to Avis Rea. DeWitt Keller wills to Denzel Collings his ability to aggreviate Miss Clark in English when most effective. Thelma Raines vacates her throne as belle of M. H. S. to Daisy Douglas, along with her booklet Secrets of Charm. Beulah Macham gives her love of orchestra music to Blanche Reese. fBlanche is drawing up a bill asking the official replacement of the sax with a trombone! Cecil Spencer leaves his teacher friends to Austin Huish. Edgar Tomlin leaves his girl friend Phyllis, to Austin Franklin and would like Austin to know he's taking Beccy. Terrell Jasper bestows his permission to the further pursuit of Nola's heart to Eugene Fritschle. ......................... ...............-.................................. - 18 - -.

H. S. And sad are the emotions felt. And now that we're going, We're leaving The things that should have been done: The l's that we might have been given If we'd studied instead of had fun. We're leaving to future students, Who come to Meridian High: A chance to win, step by step, And hope they'll climb to the sky. We're leaving the scandals and secrets, That vvere whispcredAabout this yenr, Safe with the classes xn M. H. S. And to leave them we do not fear. Four years have we gone to M. H. S. And now forever we go. Freshies! enjoy your high school days, For they're the best of life's whole show. -By MARGARETTE BRAYE In behalf of the Senior Class .,. ....... e. f -.-e-W V-fe --W -- - - ..g. ..-12-
