14 THE MIRROR Class Will We, the Illustrious Class of Nineteen Twenty Three, about to leave this hon- ored realm of wisdom, and hereafter to be revered as its worthy alumni, thought to be of sound intellect and almost superhuman understanding, do hereby make, declare, publish, and cause to be executed this our last will and testament, thus dispensing with all former wills before ordained by us. First, we bequeath to our faithful teachers, hours of sleep in peace and content- ment after our departure. Second, we bequeath to the Juniors our renowned Senior dignity and many unknown Senior privileges. Third, we bequeath to the Sophomores the innumerable E ' s acquired by us so often, confessing the feeling of guilt which we have had in our greed for them. Fourth, we bequeath to the Freshmen the devotion to and interest and pride in our glorious North Shore. Fifth, we make the following bequests of personal property, talents, and accom- plishments belonging to the nummerous members of our Senior Class: Molly — her mathemathical mind to Cozy. Beulah — her long skirt to Mary Miller. Pep — his whistle to Andrew McNally. Mariette — her literary ability to Panny Boal. Squirrel — his musical talent to the Junior Boys. Ruth — her smile to Shiek Davis. In witness thereof we have here unto subscribed our names and affixed our seal on this last day of our Senior Year, Nineteen Hundred Twenty Three.

Harriet Leonard to her left has brilliantly, we proclaim, performed the arduous duties of secretary-treasurer, for the fiscal year ending with the Junior year, 1923. Class Motto Will be made public next year. Cicero ' s Last Oration (as translated by the Junior Class) This so great crowd of you, O Conscript Class-mates, and such an unbelievable throng of you, as I do not seem to hold in memory, fills me with lawlessness. Before me I see Percy Davis. This so great man is eager concerning his studies, and succeeds because things which are for a hindrance to others are not for a hindrance to this one. Contrary to him is the honorable Maggie Brown in whom there is so great quantity of utility as president. Whence do you think this so great swiftness and unbelievable career to have come? Next before my eye is Holden Goloshes Anderson, in whom there is not only the quality of being the brother of Elbridge but also the great force of an athlete. For no greed has invited him from his established course of training for booty, no passion for pleasure, nor, indeed, labor itself. Occupying a strategic posi- tion in Marcell, of whom the middle name is Dorothy, and whose rear name is not only fitting but moreover proper to be Wave. But concerning this name she says, I will not allow it. I will not stand it, I will not endure it, I will not beat it! So much
