SPENCERIAN The Will 'XVe, the class of 1920, realize that as knowledge-seekers we are about to pass from our years of trials and tribulations in this vast field where teachers have wrought with greatest care.

To the Sophomores we will and bequeath our punctuality and good behavior, provided it shall not be abused. To the Freshmen we will and bequeath all our playthings and childish pranksg we further bequeath to them our undying joy in overcoming the hard tasks with which we constantly came in con- tact. Unto the teachers we will and bequeath our good will, along with our sympathy during the future years, as we shall not be here to lend our influence. First. XVe give and bequeath Hoyt Clark's obvious importance in the high school, his incomparable ability to bluff to Frieda Coop- erg his advanced knowledge upon the art of public speaking to Ralph Moffett, and his superfluous altitude to Richard Peden.
