Item: We do give and bequeath to one of the gracious lady mem- bers of the faculty, Miss Edith Barker, our several ponies which have been well cared for the preceding four years by various members of our Class. We order and direct that these may not be allowed to grow frisky because of non-use, but that they be put into the hands of some needy student who will appreciate the assistance rendered by said ponies. Item: We will and bequeath to another most worthy mem ber of the faculty, Mrs. Swindler, our Literatures and Classics, to be used in training the youthful minds of students into the ways of the stern and rigid path ofthe English World. We direct in the training of the young and unsophisticated minds of these timid and small under-class- men that the tasks of theme-writing shall be few and far between, as we have learned from a sad experience in the past four years that ner- vous breakdowns are quite often the result. ' Item: We order and direct of our highly esteemed principal, M r. A. J.Stevenson, that he keep in his own possession all excuse blanks that have been returned to him by the noble members of the Senior Class. We fervently hope that our dear principal will not soon forget us and that he will cherish thesegsmall slips of paper as mementos of the winter of 1920-2l. Item: We bequeath to Mrs. Hampton, our NeCollins song books. Mrs. Hampton, we have looked into the future and there seems to be no prospects of new books coming so We have handled these dear old books carefully for the four past years and now we leave them to you to use as you wish.

Johnson, what We have leftof the building, with the order that it is to be kept comfortably warm for him and his young charges, especially on Monday mornings. Item: We give and bequeath to George Rogers the clock that now hangs on the north wall of the Assembly Hall and direct that it shall be correctly set at all times as he is in poor health and it might be fatal to him if he were required to hurry to make the three o'clock car.
