1 , OUR LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT VVe, the Class of 191914 and 1920, being on the brink of passing from this rod- wielding world of education with a well-crammed head and glib tongue do make and publish this our last will and testament.. lVe request that our funeral will be simply conducted by our beloved faculty and friends with a formal observance in view of our merits and accomplishments during our four years of life. V As to the property which is left, we make the following disposal: First: To our dear indulgent Faculty we do bequeath many sessions of sweet solemn thought, unbroken by the entrance of the Senior Class to recite or fail to recite its lesson, to misunderstand the assignments or to give the most perfect inattention. It has been a severe trial on them and we are sincere when we wish them the good old days again before we came to rob them of sleep and keep them awake far into the night wondering whether this one would ever learn the three conjugations or that one would understand his history. Second: VVe hereby bequeath to our Principal, Mr. McLinn, our friendship, hearty good wishes and credit cards. And we hope that when he looks over our good and bad grades that he will overlook our bad grades and say, 'My, but that was a great classl' VVe also leave to him the fountain pens, money and divers articles that were lost and unclaimed during our four years sojourn. Third: To the sorrowing students we give and bequeath our exalted positions as scholars, our professional methods of blufiing, arguing or evading and our notebooks over which we have pored, cried and sat up nights. VVe also bequeath our lockers holding the secrets of our lives inside the closed doors with the hope that they will ever be as neat and tidy as when we owned them. Fourth: We again bequeath to our dear Faculty all the treasured memories and bits of knowledge that have been expounded both in class and on our examination papers. We realize that the information imparted in this manner was an immense surprise to them and we are highly rewarded if it has been used to advantage. Fifth: Though the foregoing bequests may seem insignificant we trust that they will be accepted in a spirit of fellowship as a reminder of our generosity and sincerity. lst: To all Freshmen the right to carve their initials on our desks and finish chewing any gum they may find thereon. la- -e w -at
