20 THE CRIMSON AND WHITE CLASS WILL We, the class of 1925, about to enter upon another sphere of our lives, and realizing the many dangers facing us, propitiously make the following bequests: To the Junior Class, our respective places in the Senior study hall with the suggestion that when in a playful mood, they toss about something other than desks. To the Sophomore Class, our surplus wisdom to aid them in their various studies, especially in the translation of Cicero. To the Freshmen Class, the privilege of displaying their superi- ority over the incoming Class of Freshmen. To the Freshman Class to be, a printed placard reminding them that they must not loiter in the halls after one o'clock. To Edgar Bowen, Lyman Jordan's astounding ability to occupy and hold down the hall bench. Though Lyman had the belle from Clarksville with him, Edgar will have his avoirdupois. To Jerry Gritfen, IIammy's argumentative inclination to quibble over half a poi11t. To Charlotte Pauley, Mickey McIIale's ability tthis does not mean that Charlotte needs this bequest-hardlyj. To Kathryn Wilson, Uliobw Baker's aloofness. Dudley Wade is indisputable popularity with Miss Johnson to the masculine member of the Junior Class who is lucky enough to win her gracious smile. To Al Rosbrook, Millard Nehemiah is title as advertiser of Hart, Schaffner and Marx. Vera Buttonls preference for English IV last semester and the necessary till conferences connected with it to Miss Alicia Andrews, with the stern command that Alicia be as attentive and interested in the said conferences as t'Buttons has always been. To the most awkward members of the Freshman Class, Fannie MeDonough's agility for bumping herself, particularly her head. To Charlotte Pauley we leave a nice feathery, soft cushion to be used i11 place of Wilbur in the flivver since Wilbur is going to leave the fold. A To Misses Kay, IIall, McCredie, Cullis and Pauley a time table informing them of the most advantageous hours to be present in the rotunda.
