Glass Will Frances Williams. We, the class of nineteen hundred and seventeen, knowing that our time in this dear old Pekin High School is coming to a close, wish to leave some of our endeared belongings to the under classmen of our school, the seniors of to-morrow. Here is our will and we all sincerely hope that you, dear younger schoolmates, will accept these bequeaths in a happy frame of mind and may the class of nineteen hundred and seventeen be ever in your minds. Will Proper. 1. To begin our will, we all, each and every one of us, leave to our beloved faculty the memory of dear faces. May we never be forgotten by any of our teachers. 2. To the Junior Class, the pleasure of being the Seniors of 1918. 3. To the Freshmen, the knowledge of finding where each of the class rooms is located. 4.

Catharine Alice Rollins bequeaths a good portion of her size to Irene Campbell. 6. Sadie Van Osdol to John Pfanz, her gift of elocution. 7. Lois May Velde to Florence Senninger, her melodious giggle.
