CLASS WILL It is my solemn duty to read the last will and testament of the Vlass ot 1930. They have been very generous in their bequests and everyone is ecrtain to be pleased with his share. Vile, the tllass of 1930, of the t'ity of Rensselaer, in the tlounty of Rensselaer, and State of New York, being of sound mind, memory and understanding, do make our last will and testament in manner and form following: Fnzsr. To the members of the Junior t'lass, our successors, we be- queath our rules and customs. It is our ea1'11est hope that they prove worthy of this sacred t1'ust. Be it known: There shall be no whispering in study hall tthe t'lass of 1930 NEVER violated this regulationj. The home work shall be handed ill on time. Lessons shall be thoroughly prepared before entering the building. There shall be no mo1'e of the so-called Blutling for recitations. If these rules are duly followed, the aforesaid Juniors will become almost as clever as the t'lass ot' 15130. However, it is a recognized fact. that they can never surpass us. Sncokn. To the Sophomore t'lass, we bequeath a substantial fund which has been earned through conscientious study. This is to be ap- propriated to the memory of the tllass of 1930. A great bronze tablet shall be erected upon which the name of each member of the class shall be inscribed. This is to be erected in the Chapel in the presence of the members of the Board of Education, the faculty and student body. lt shall be the duty of each member of the Sophomore tllass to read these names at least once a day thereby gaining inspiration for future greatness. 'l'Hmn. To the Freshmen we bequeath our well-worn books. As they turn the well-thumbed pages, may they be cheered by thoughts of the great reward awaiting them as Seniors-the privilege of sitting in the classroom once occupied by the illustrious Senior Class of to-day. FoUuTH. To our teachers, who have been most kind, we leave a cherished memory. VVhen we are older Zlllfl have accomplished great things we hope that they who have been so patient with us will be proud l27l

THE ORACLE to say that they taught us. We are sure that they will always remem- ber us because of our exceptional high-grade class work. It will be gratifying to know that they helped to lay the foundation on which we built our enviable careers. To their future classes, doubt- less, they will hold up the Class of 1930 as a model well worth following. FIFTH. To our Superintendent, Mr. Clark, who has always been so thoughtful concerning our welfare and pleasure, we will our best wishes and good faith. May succeeding classes also profit by his wise counsel and guidance, and co-operate with him, thereby rewarding him for his eitorts. SIXTH. To the Board of Education we leave the trust of building the new high school, which we hope will afford inspiration to future graduating classes in achieving the high standing of the Class of 1930. lt is our will that the old school be kept as a monument to our meory. In witness whereof, I hereunto place my hand and seal, this sixth day of J une, one thousand nine hundred and thirty. Signed, sealed, published and declared by the Class of 1930, as and for its last will and testament, in the presence of us, who have here- unto subscribed our names at the request of the above class, as wit- nesses thereto, in presence of the said testator and of each other, Class of 1930.
