'We earnestly hope that the said legatees will find said bequests as useful as we have found them. After much careful thought and consideration given to this last will and testament, we have made the following bequests, to wit: I. II. III. IV. To the Seminary, our Alma Mater, we leave undying love and affection. We add thereto an expression of appreciation for all the Seminary has done to help form our characters. To Miss Emma, Mr. Scott, and the Faculty, we declare our thanks for their broadminded understanding and their unwavering support of every project we have ever undertaken. We do hereby wish to go on record as expressing sincere regret for any seeming lack of appreciation during the years of stress and strain when we were evolving into what we are today. To all undergraduates we would express our heartfelt thanks for their support in all our undertakings. To the Class of 1935, our successors to whom we are about to relinquish our boasted seniority, we, the Class of 1934, would leave some of the indomitable spirit which has enabled us to reach this semi-advanced stage of our education, having surmounted the difhculties of chapel speeches and having survived the shattered illusion that this done all senior worries were at an end. As to individual bequests made by the members of the Class of 1934 to the Class of 1935, there has been much controversy. No one seemed quite sure with what she wanted to part, d The ue to the fact that it is impossible to know what will be needed in the future. following bequests are, however, final and definite, said members of the Class of 1935 to have and to hold said bequests for all time, if so desired.
