Item Seven-To Mr. Maxwell, our worthy Janitor, we give and bequeath a large pot of glue for him to donate to the next Senior Class that they may be able to fasten their scenery securely without using nails, screws, or any instrument of evil which will tend to mar permanently the shining polish of our walls and floors.
