In witness whereof, we, the Class of One Thousand Nine Hundred and Thirty-One, sign and declare this as our last will and testament in each other's presence, and hereunto subscribe our names as Witnesses this twenty-third day of June, in the year of our Lord One Thousand Nine Hundred and Thirty-One.
