Last W ill and Testament of the Class of 1917
The time is near at hand when IFe, the Class of 1917, shall be obliged to relinquish our place in the world of Preparatory Schools and shall enter into the Great Beyond. It is with the sincerest regret that we leave you, Miss Hartridge, and you, our Underclassmen. I he inevitable end is not two months off. Indeed our medical adviser has said that
we can not possibly live longer than until June 15. We all feel like criminals preparing themselves for execution, but some of us shall have an easy death, passing quickly and quietly from this little world, while others of us, less fortunate, shall pass our last two weeks in utter misery, being tortured up to the end by the doctor’s re-examinations of our mental con­ ditions. Now, this twenty-seventh day of April, being of sound mind, we name as our successors the Class of 1918.
