Last Will and Testament of the Fifth Room
We, the members of the Fifth Room, being within three weeks’ time of leaving our well-loved school and our cherished school-mates, and en­
joying both splendid health and brilliant intellect, do hereby declare this to
he our last will and testament. We do, therefore, devise and heuueath to our successors, the Junior Class:
hirst. Our room, hoping that, although they have not chosen to he a select body after our example, it may do them some good.
Second, Our chart of the United States tariff \{a to be pronounced like the a in cat. We impart this mighty secret of pronunciation for the benefit of next year’s United States History class).
I'hird, Our right to sit upon the back row in Morning Exercises. (We admit that this right is slightly questionable owing to the superior
numbers of the Junior Class.)
Fourth, Our ability to walk into Morning Exercises without loss of
breath or of dignity after having snatched our books from our desks just two seconds before time for us to bring up the rear of our daily \]irom-
enade.
