shall come into full ownership of our nobility of character, reputation, and other things which they shall by vote deem advisable. By the use of these they shall make records for themselves, but under no considerations are these recoi-ds to reflect on us. They shall out of memory to us, sing once each month during the coming- year that quaint old melody, It Ain ' t Gonna Rain No More; each time they render this selec- tion we shall bless them if they are absent, otherwise suitable steps shall be taken to show our appreciation. In addition to the above we do hereb ybequeath to anyone wishing to make use of the same, the following: Catherine Jones ' — Timidity. Bert Kovanda ' s — Curiosity. Red Herriott ' s — Appetitiety. Helen Wells ' — Cupidity. Herbert Green ' s — Borrowity. Mildred Helfinstine ' s — Flightity. Susan Gist ' s — Activity. Delpha Thompson ' s — Gaiety. Max Hendrix ' s — Profanity. Ted Bushby ' s— Sheikidity. ' Katherine Shirley ' s — Brevity. Harry Wintermeyer ' s — Dignity. To those not elsewhere mentioned, we bequeath the sev- eral dances we did not get, our school spirit, and everything else that we intentionally leave behind us, providing that same is not elsewhere mentioned within this document. THE CLASS OF ' 25 Narcissus In beauty wrapped there sat entranced, Before a mirrored pool of blue. Where purple shadows on the water danced. And dawn revealed the dew. Narcissus, mortal of spirit grace. Favored of th e gods on Mount Olympus high. Who in his perfectness of form and face. Was rivaled only by the beauty goddess in the sky? When first the songs of birds awaked the morn, Until the mists of twilight kissed the air, He lingered in his fairy haunt, in rapture borne. Without a wordly hope or care. — N. L. F.

Curtain —TED BUSH BY Will of Class of 1921 Flagstaff, Arizona, June 99, 1925 KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS, that we the high school class of 1925, being of minds sounder than sup- posed, and of bodies ranging from chunky ones to lanky ones, under no duress whatsoever, except a well developed sense of duty, do hereby make, polish, and declare these to be our awards in our last will and testament: To the combined faculty we extend our heartfelt grati- tude for the parts they have taken in making it possible for us to graduate, the possibilities of which we do not all of us yet understand. To Mr. Stevenson, we bequeath our total knowledge of history, with the hope that he will not suffer brain fever as a result of this mass of wisdom. To Mr. Helm, we bequeath all the novels, poetry, et cetera which we have read and made dutiful reports on. We espe- cially recommend to him a thorough perusal of Whitman ' s entire works, and we do ask that out of honor of our scholar- ship, he shall have some member of an unsuspecting class re- cite from memory Mark Twain ' s The Jumping Frog. To Mr. Deaver, we bequeath our interest in Flagstaff ' s scenery, and all the varmints and roots, be they in Flagstaff or in any other part of the world that may hereafter be dis- covered. To Mr. Ridgely, we extend our thanks and appreciation for the patience he has shown towards us; may it not have been in vain. We also recommend that a petition be circulated granting him permission to openly express his feelings on all occasions. To Miss Smith, we extend our earnest wishes that she may have a more intelligent class in the near future. To Mrs. Jessup, we bequeath our lost needles, odds and ends of thread, all pieces cut on the bias, the batter that should not bat, and the dough that would not do. To the rising class of seniors, we bequeath our ability to swear in seven languages, including the Scandinavian (to be used with the diplomacy and dignity of the seniors), also they
