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.
