HE Minstrel Show which was given about two months ago was pronounced a success by everyone who saw it. The s um of money taken in was approxim ately $179.00. This sum is to be used in some way to benefit the school, but it has not been decided how. S uggestions were called for from the school, but most of t he suggestions 路were for immediate use to be made of it for thin gs that would not last. Surely if we stop to think we would decide to use it for some lasting improvement to the school, such as have been suggested - a victorola, for books to build up ou r Library, for a clock to be placed in the assembly room, fo r apparatus for the Physics Laboratory-something that ca n be used by future classes as well a's by the presen t pupils. You may think that m ost of these things which I have men tionecl sho uld be furnished

by the school board. P robably they sho uld be, but since there are so ma ny things needed we may have to wa it a long time before the hoard will he able to furnish them . If we show the inclination to help ou rselves we will be more likely to receive help sooner. At least we will not have t he feeling that we have been selfish in the use of the money .

AT the urgen t request of the Government the State College High School has organized a 'vVar Saving Society of l 06 members from the various classes. This is a fairly good record from a school of 150 pu pils, but we w ish the other fif ty would enroll. This d.oes not mea n necessarily that upon becoming a member you should buy stamps, but it does m ean that yo u should encourage o thers to do so. Don't be a 'slacker' but get in and get to work.

SUPERINTENDENT, FACULTY, AND SCH OOLMATES:
We the Class of 1918, of State College High School, of the City of State College, State of Pennsylvania, U.S . A., now request your undiv ided atten tio n to this our last will an d tes tament, and to receive from our dying hand , the few gifts we have to bestow in o ur last moments. Cut ting so rapid ly loose from life, and find in g so many grave matters to be attended to before our end , we did, collectively and individually, deem it best to distribute these following gifts and virtues to those friends to whose needs they seemed best fitted. Ur-on coming to this decision , we found it very hard to part with these many thin gs th at have bern so near and dear to us in the last four years of our existence as the class of ]918. We tried to be just, as well as generous, and impartial in the distribution of these presents, and we trust that you will accept them as a lasting remcmbera nce from us. R ead, then, cne and all , the document as duly drawn and sworn to : We, the Class of 1()18, in twenty-seven indi vid ual and distinct parts, being about to pass o ut of this srhere of education, in full possession of a crammed mind, and almost superh uman unders tandin g, do make and publ ish this, our last will and testament, here by revoking and making vo id a ll former wi lls and promises, which we may have carelessly or thoughtlessly made during idle hours. We hereby disrose of our property as follows: ITEM:-
We give and bequeath to the clear facult y , who have been ou r instructors in al l our acquired wi:cclcm, a sweet a nd unbroken succession of restful nigh ts and peaceful dreams. No longer need they lie awake worrying over the possibility of unprepared three minu te speeches or unwritten P h ys ics Experiments. ITEM :
We give and bequeath to our beloved Superintendent, Prof. 'vV. 0. H eckm an, and to our past Superintendent , Prof. W. G. Briner , our sincere affection and ou r heartiest gratitude. I t shall be theirs to note each attempt, each success and honor that we may acheive, and accept fo r themselves, as part payment of our debt to them, all th e praise and ho1i~r, knowing that it is a ll clue to their faithful instr uctions. . ITEM:

We give a nd bequeath t0 the Maroon and Gray St aff of 1919, a ll the past a nd fu t ure events of our li ves, trusting that they may furnish plenty of material for news items and brilliant ecli torials for years to com e, and to serve as inspiration fo r t hose younger students who look up to us as examples. I TEM:
Again, we give and bequeath to our beloved faculty, all the s tartling information a nd knowledge that we have furnished them from time to time in our examination papers. We know that much of this must have been new to them a nd th rew new light o n many familiar lines of thought.
