Know ye all men by these presents, that we, the Senior Class of Arthur Hill High School, being m frail mmds and strong bodies, do in the presence of equally strong and sane witnesses hereby write this last will and testimony and do solemnly bequeath our ancient and hallowed privileges, to the Juniors and Sophomores of said institution in the vain hope that they will become dignified, haughty seniors, as their immediate predecessors. And, whereas, we of the class of twenty-three, having firmly implanted the seeds of wis- dom m the flighty Juniors and humble Sophomores, do in these our last days, further relin- quish our title to the following privileges, viz and to-wit: That the Senior Senate of Arthur Hill High School, being in form a dignified body of legis- lators, do hereby bequeath and devise to the House of Representatives the following privileges: 1. The right to sleep in the senatorial chamber with full and undoubted privileges of a senator (providing his snoring is inaudible). 2. The right to filibuster on certain occasions when no preparation has been made upon the issue for discussion. 3. The privilege of impeaching or otherwise ridding the senate of its president, especial- ly his gavel, which is a fiendish device and a contraption of Mephistaphale ' s own design. 4. Lastly, our pomp and dignity we bequeath to any other organization in the school that might profit by its use. K5 HA ARTICLE L Furthermore, we Seniors of the Glee Club of Arthur Hill High School, being in part, a crowd of jolly birds whose voices have become cracked and worn from constant strain, relin- uish and deed over to the Juniors and Sophomore aspirants, our vocies, so badly worn, and yet withal, within the bounds of possible repair, with the parting trust that they will be heard in melodious chords or dischords through the halls of our venerable institution. ARTICLE II. Be it further revealed in this our last will and testament that we, the illustrious members of that famous staff of Journalists, as is embraced under the name or sobriquet of Criterion who, by freak of chance or fortune, have successfully finished our fourth year, do hereby devise, bequeath and assign to any of our Junior members, the right to print scandal, sensa- tions, or rare jokes upon members of the Legenda staff, or of the school as a whole. Section 1. We, the remaining members of the famous J. I. P. club, more widely known as Jippers, (heaven knows what it stands for) do devise and bequeath the secrets of our or- ganization to any Junior or Sophomore who is so dizzy as to try to fathom the inscrutable mys- tery of our club emblem, or the significance of the symbols thereon. Section 2. Whereas, we the inmates of Mr. DeHaven ' s court, being a sober-minded (?) assembly of honest lawyers, do devise, bequeath, deed, assign and convey unto the coming seniors, their heirs, and assigns (who for their own edification seek refuge in Judge DeHaven ' s court) the following privileges and chattels, to-wit: (1) The privilege of sharpening at least ten pencils during the study period, also the right to release mice and other rodents within the sacred walls of his palace of justice. (2) The absolute right to declare a blue slip negotiable paper, and to pass it as such, irregardless of date, time of performance or any other legal objections that party of the second part might raise against said blue slip. (3) Permission is hereunto granted the next session of honest lawyers to upset the waste basket, consult the dictionary upon matters of legal phraseology at least four times during each class period, argue with party of the second part upon Acts of Providence, dates of delivery, and kindred (ailments) or subjects. Also to appear in class late without the customary negotia- ble paper:

We, the women jurors of the above mentioned class do devise and bequeath unto the first junior who discovers the deposits of gum on the fifth seat in the first row absolute title to said chattels and choses in action. Now, in view of these facts, we of the Commercial Law class of 1923 do hereby set our hand and seal, this 22nd day of June in the year of our Lord 1923. ARTICLE m. Be it further known that we, the English students in the classes of the Misses Boyle and Kilbourne, do relinquish, devise and bequeath to the juniors our superior knowledge of the English language, viz and to-wit: Our ability to translate the words of the senior ' s common enemy, Geoffrey Chaucer; our knowledge of the works of Shakespeare, Geoffrey of Monmouth, and last but not least our love for Bobby Burns ' poem, Tam O ' Shanter. To the sacred and beloved enemies of the class of ' 23 (namely, the motely juniors) we grant our property, peculiar to seniors, viz : The right to loiter in the halls, or whistle in the ante room of Mr. Haggard ' s office, our drag with Miss Boyle for securing white slips rather than blues or any other privileges peculiar to Seniors that said Juniors might discover. We also devise and bequeath unto the motely mob known as Juniors, the sum of one Ger- man Mark in hopes that within the next year it may appreciate in value and form a nucleus around which may be built a treasury, so necessary to a prosperous senior year. We, the athletes of 1923, do deed over to Fat Schimmer, the position of captain on the next football squad. May he clear the eastern horizon of the dark cloud, Defeat. The Blue Ribbon Orchestra, in part a trio of musical Bards known as The Hillite Howling Hounds and other equally famous sobriquets, do leave to any competent musicians our privi- leges of playing after games and all school parties. All ' s well that ends well, and now, in parting, we Seniors of the class of ' 23 leave only tears and now and then a sigh to our dear old Alma Mater. May her standard never be low- ered and may the sons of Arthur Hill cherish and foster the knowledge they have gained with- in its hallowed walls. In witness thereof, we have hereunto set our hands and seal this 22nd day of June, 1923. DEACON METCALF. ZAZ DEMBINSKE.
