Claslwill We, the Seniors of St. Mary's High, woefully regret leaving our beautiful new school and our many friends, and in order to lighten the overwhelming grief that said friends may display as they witness our early demise, we carefully make the following disposal of all our per- sonal property and otherwise. . Therefore, on this first day of June, we being of sound mind and enduring memory, do solemnly make and publish this our last will, on condition that the Principal of St. Mary's be the sole executrix of these our final wishes. Tolour Pastor we bequeath our sincere thanks for his part in our education. We realize that the comforts and conveniences that We have enjoyed this year are due to his kindly interest in us. To the Faculty who alone will realize the void made by our depar- ture, we wish to express our sincere appreciation for all their attempts to reform and inform us and we assure them of our good will and loyalty. To the Alumni we intrust entire charge of our funeral ceremoniesg we suggest, however, that all flowers except the lily be omitted. The largest and most important of our belongings is advice, and it is our wish that this be equally divided among the Freshmen, Sopho- mores, and Juniors. We urge that our successors hitch their wagon to a star, as Emerson advises. We will be that star. We hope that they will be able to supply the wagon-we have no wagons to leave.
