The Ocala banner. (Ocala, Marion County, Fla.) 1883-194?, 1914-05-29

queath the privilege of missing my
lessons on Monday morning. I have
| had monopoly on sBlue Monday
| this year, but have been excused on
account of past records. With this be-
quest goes the right of indulging in
| a nap the first period in the morning,
as it is rather difficult to keep awake
after being up until ten the night be-
! fore. A8
We the Senior Glass of 1914 on this
the 25th university of our school, do
will to the boys and girls of Marion
county our school ground our moss
covered oaks, and our school building
for a domitory, and hope that they
may imbibe from the spirits of the
hundreds who have gone out from its
walls the desire for inspiration of
| knowledge.
To the new High School, we be-
queath our pictures, flowers and
books; the recipients Of these valuable
legacies must treat them with tender
care, else they forfeit them to the
class of 1914 whose happiest days
were spent with them.
Dear school-mates, these triaes
are simple indeed, yet go with them
wishes, to bid you God-speed. When
fames at the zenith, and cares at your
door, look at these gifts and recall
days of yore."
Our express will is, and we hereby
order and appoint; if any difference
shall arrive or happen concerning any
i gift or bequest, contained in this will,
no suit shall be brought concerning
| the same, but the same shall be who'll
| ly referred to the award of our dearly
beloved faculty and what they shall
order and direct, there shall be bind
ing on the person concerned.
In witness thereof, we, the aforesaid
class, have to this, our last will and
testiment, subscribed our names, this
twenty-fifth day of May, in the year of
| our Lord, one thousand nine hundred
and fourteen.
CLASS OF 1914.
Attorney, Theo Wallis
Dear Mr.. Workman:
l hear that you are now spending
your summer months teaching at Pea
body College and selecting your
famous Tennessee teachers of the
next years session OF the Ocala High
School Please do not make any ar
engagements for teaching there next
year, for we, just must have re-
union of our class and it would be in
complete without you.
am now in Ocala again, having
just returned from trip around the
world. Last night took down my old
grammer school geography from high
shelf and as I gently pulled it down,
dozen of it's ragged leaves fell flutter-
ing to the floor in a cloud of dust.
Naturally l turned to a map of the
world and with a pencil traced along
the page my journey, which was dirty
with childish finger prints. To think,
that we, the class of 1914, once many
years ago, when its girls wore pig
tails and its boys wore short trousers,
bent over that very map and wished
that the world were not so large, for
then there would be less to study.
Large indeed it seemed then and they
little dreamed that some day in the
near future, the members of that class
would be scattered far and wide over
it's surface. While on my trip, either
met or heard of all my classmates,
but all were many miles apart.
would enjoy giving you minute ac-
count of my various experiences but
since it is impossible, 1 shall only
tell you of the record since 1914, of
those students of that class, of which
you still think whenever you view
your gray hairs in your mirror.
Before starting out l paid short
visit to my sister Theodosia in Albany,
New York. AS I suppose you heard
Theodosia married widower about
sixty years old who has seventeen
children. He is quite wealthy, how
ever, and is model husband. Theo-
dosia is perfectly happy rearing model
children. Their table manners are per-
feet and they always answer her, Eyes
nam" and thank you"
After leaving New York, | started
| for Alaska stopping on my way to
spend few days, in each of the larg-
est cities which passed. A week was
spent in that cold country, after which
