Class Will E, the members of the Senior Class of the City of Plym- outh, County of Marshall, and State of Indiana, being on unfriendly terms with the squirrels, and wishing to show our good will toward all mankind, do make and publish this our last will and testament.

To Miss Johnson, we bequeath a complete volume on Woman Suffrage, also more argument about the superiority of the femi- nine mind. To Miss Eberly, we leave an ear trumpet to be used when Ruth Snyder and Melvin Thomas recite. We also leave a lock and key to the assembly room for her convenience during play practices.

VVe trust that she will have them cre- mated at once. To our worthy janitor, Gtto Thompson, we leave a patent dust- ing cloth, with the hopes that he will spend more time on Long- fellow than he does on Hebe. To Miss Langdon, we leave two lathe machines, a buzz saw, and two drag saws to be installed in the library so that she will not miss the busy? H. S. students during vacation. To Miss Roth, we bequeath a big war order calling for tive thousand biscuits to be used for the German defense. In addition to the above bequest, members of the Senior Class desire to bequeath certain keepsakes and prized possessions to their loved ones in the high school.
