(Olga Victoria Axelson.)
 During our fruitful, pleasant High school years, our class of '16 has &C., cumuIated at least a moderate store of wealth-spiritual, intellectual and worldly The spiritual and intel lectual is by far our most precious treasure; and it will be so invaluable to our need and happiness hereafter that we must take it with us. Our worldly wealth has a value, also; but we shall not take it with us, now that we are departing our High school life, as it's value in the world where We expect to play so active a part, is very slight. However, in it's native environment the High school, it is useful and va1ua ble, indeed. Realizing this, our generous hearts advised our drawing up the following will whereby our friends at High school shall profit by our riches, and have moreover, a constant memento of us.
