Ye Will of’21 Wc, the class of 21, acknowledging our obvious superiority over every other class, past, present, or future, and wishing to perpetuate our striking characteristics in the memory of the faculty, have selected our various qualities to leave in the school when we go forth into the world, and we do hereby individually, and collectively, physically and spiritually, will and bequeath the following: To Mr. Marvin O. Adams, Jr., we leave the priceless marcel wave which our leader, Ralph Howe, has cared for tenderly these four years gone. )ur championship medley relay team we cheerfully will to the Junior class. To the Sophomore class we bequeath our brains, since many of their members sadly lack them. The Freshman class, since it has none of its own, wins our col- lection of pretty girls. To 'bom Farrell and Ed Haley we give our pair of Roman noses (sometimes spelled with a p ) now worn by Hugo and T uf. l pon Mr. Yates we settle the task of drilling advanced doctrines into the heads of the members of the incoming Frosh class, such treatment to be continuous throughout their school life. To Miss Looney we leave the opportunity of developing a second Dave Lamson from Gene Scofield. Reluctant 1 we rob I'ill Kerry of his ball-room grace, and bestow it upon Gordon Swctt. We leave Evelyn Huntington’s dignity to Lois Scoopmire. To Miss Girdner we return our text books, improved with many illustrations and translations. We, the Senior girls, leave to the teachers our hair nets, powder puffs, and silk stockings. To Ed ITalev we leave our deepest regrets that we are taking A filly llolston with us. We bequeath our empty “clod boxes to Mac; may he he sweeter to the Frosh. We give to the next commissioner of finance Doug. King’s devo- tion to Math(cson). To Martha Dunton we leave Maxine Theim’s little song, labelled “Howe Ken a girl make up her mind to refusAI.” To Mr. Grinstead we leave the encouraging knowledge that any- thing will absorb the fundamentals of chemistry if you give it time enough. We cite Dot Swain as proof of this statement. And finally, we. the C'lass of ’21, leave this school entirely in the hands of the faculty again. Dictated in the fourth and last year of our reign.

This year the school has been especially fortunate in its selection of students to till the offices of the Hoard of Commission- ers. Every one of the persons elected has discharged his duties faithfully and well, and has set a wonderful example of service and loyalty to all future commissioners.
