being satisfied with the noise of one, he took a couple more. So, in order to please him and with the hope that these playthings will last a while, we leave to Mr, Eamon this handful of whistles. In the days of long ago when the members of 0111' class were mere ine fants, we indulged in the usual childish amusementsethe girls in playing with dolls, the boys generally in more manly sports. talthongh sometimes when no one was looking the stronger UN sex often gave way to that en- trancing pastime, which they ridiculed in the girls, and, stealing out the property of the gentler t D sex, they themselves played with dolls. Of course, each class that graduates is a little in advance of all classes before it. Indeed, a boy of the 1918 Class is so far ahead of the boys of our own class that he is not afraid to play with dolls even when people are looking. So, because we wish to gratify the desire of that person, unto Wesley Avey we bequeath this doll which we have christened Dolly. And, lastly, we direct that to our friends, teachers and classmates, whom we have come to love so dearly during the last four years and who have made them pleasant onesewe direct that to them be paid the heartfeTt appre- ciation and gratitude of the 191634 class in apportionments as large as they can make use of at one time. the whole of which can not he paid at one time on account of its vast hulk.
