We do give and bequeath to the ninth grade (1) the round rose bed back of the girls’ study-hall in which we have planted all the roots that we dug out of Wentworth’s Algebra hcping that they will produce an- easier crop than our variety.

We also-wish to further show our interest in the said ninth grade and our affection for them so-we make the following personal bequests. Alice Hardin wishes to will to Joe Gibbs her seat in the swing near the girls’ study hall. To Ruth Kirby she gives her pickle jar and onion ‘patch, Josie Durham wills to Pearl Contrane a pair of springs to be attached to her heels so that she will “walk a little fasier.” Jennie Jones gives to Hazel Pike her office as secretary of the Tar Heel Literary Association and her boudoir cap to Lillie McKinzie and wants her to have her picture taken in it.
