The BENEDICTUM Last Will and Testament We the senior class of 1918, being about to depart high school life, hereby make solemn disposition of our goods as herein stated: To our pilots, the members of the faculty, we leave the love, respect, and appreciation of twenty-seven seniors embarking on the cruise of life, strengthened by the untiring efforts of devoted teachers. NYE bequeath to the future occupants of the assembly hall the good-will of the senior class of I9lS1CllOSC seniors who will always cherish the friendship of their assembly hall classmates. The ambitious spirit of the class of '28, as well as its successes and failures, we give to the juniors with the hope that they will profit by the mistakes of their predecessors. Appreciating the full value of punctuality, we bequeath Edward Schneider's coveted position as bell-ringer to Frederick Schnoor, provided that he be as immune to bribes as was Edward. Our monopoly of the high school and science libraries and our places in the laboratory, we entrust to the watchful care of the sophomores, bidding them to take counsel from wise men who believe that Books are the source of all knowledgef, To the freshmen we bequeath our unfailing humor and love of fun, that they may be able to cope with the tragedies of high school life. Leo McGlynn's poetic ability and David Cwermaine's artistic talent, we leave to Edward Byrne and Criss Schearer respectively, with the injunction that they hold these bequests in high esteem. To the coming football team we give the glory of eleven departing Bennies, on condition that their indomitable spirit be imitated. The renown of the senior basketball team with its true 'fighting spirit we leave to the members of the junior league. The positions held by Doris Dyer, lrene Lilly, and Annette Stump, we leave to Florence McKinnon, Helen Brady and Margaret Daly, believing them well capable of counting the weekly offerings made by St. Benedict boys and girls. The oratorical ability of Vincent Desmond we leave to Harold Ostenfeld, so that. combined with his own talent, Harold may win many honors in the public- speaking Held. To the future editorial staff we bequeath the extraordinary amount of literary ability possessed by the seniors, adding the request that with such a generous contribution the high standard of the Benedictator be maintained. To Catherine Tear, whom we feel sure will carry out the honor given her, we bequeath Leah McKinnon's place as president of the S. S. C. iVe leave to all those who find high school life difhcult the privilege of belonging to St. Benedict Orchestra, that strains of music may accompany them on the way through. The ushers' posts, so well filled by George Grix and Wm. Eardly, we bequeath to Mark Storen and Burell Ostenfeld. Our beloved desks in the back of the assembly hall we give to those ambitious juniors who get there first, on the condition that they be mindful of their dignity lest they lose the stately bearing of seniors. We hereby appoint as executors of our last will and testament the senior officers of 1929. In witness whereof, we set our hand and seal this nineteenth day of June, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred twenty--eight. XVITNESSES: Mary McCarthy Doris Dyer Pug? Twenty-ftiizr
