CLASS WILL.
By GUSSIE MAXWELL

On behalf of my client, the
class of 1884, of Fruitland Insti-
tute, l have called you together
upon this solemn and serious oc-
casion, TO listen to her last will
and testament, and to receive
from her dying hand the few gifts
she has to bestow in her last mo-
ments. She has tried to be just as
well as impartial, and distribute
wisely unto those who will make
the best use of such gifts as she
has in her power to bestow, the
talents that have served her so
faithfully these four years. Owing
to the flight condition of her brain
and the unusual disturbance on
its gray matter, she begs me to
state for her that she may quite
possibly have been mistaken in
her inventory: but such things as
she thinks she has, she hereby
gives into your possession, pray
ing that you will accept them as
a sacred trust from one who has
gone before.
Listen. then. one and all, while
/ read this document, as duly
drawn up and sworn to.

CLASS POEM
Bv MARIE PEREZ

When all our lessons have been
finished
And our fears of "flunking"
have passed.
When orr DAYS of SChOOlO have
diminished
And our worries are over at
last;
When all have parted and gone
their way
To answer DutV'S stern call.
Then those who have gone shall be
happy
Ely answering Duty and con-
quering all.
We have worked for the joy of
winning
With a zeal only Seniors can
feel.
We have kept our motto as a
shield,
Taking the stops to success in
l"ing;
We have accumulated wisdom all
these years
That Fruitland to us so faith
fully gave.
SO high our banners we will ever
wave
And praise Fruitland through
smiles and tears.
Thus the years in their steady
rotation
Have finished high school edu.
cation,
We hasten from school days with
joys and fears
And face new problems through
out the years.
Old School, farewell! Seniors
ahieu,
Classmates, come and sing anew,
For Life has duties to be done,
And every day lived Loyalty till
set of sun.

times had to rid ourselves of these
in too much haste to be able to
pick and choose the most desir-
able means Of disposal.
Last comes the one thing hard
for US to part with. To our sue
cessors we must leave our places
in the hearts and thoughts of our
principal and teachers. they will
love them, unworthy as We feel
they are. even as they have loved
US; they will show them all the
same tender kindness and atten-
ton that they have bestowed up
on US; they will feel the same in
terest in their attempts and sue
cesses; the same sorrow when
they fail. We trust that the class
of 1885 will appreciate all this as
deeply as we have done, that it
may be their most precious pos
session. AS it has been ours and
the one we are most loath to. hand
over to them. So $3.50
Besides these enforced gifts,
we leave not of necessity, but our
own free will our blessed tender
memories of our pleasant associa-
tions together; our plea for for
giveness for anything that we
may not have exactly appreciated
in the demonstration Of the past
and a pledge of friendship from
henceforth and forever.
And we do hereby: constitute
and appoint the said principal sole
executor of this our last will and
testament. ..-.~....-... .-...-~.. ..
In witness whereof, .we,. the
