Last Will and Testament
E. the Class of Nineteen Twenty-six, being as nearly in our right minds as we can ever hope to be, and considering the brevity of our present life, desire to make arrangement for the disposal of our worldly goods while we have yet the strength to do so. Therefore, we do hereby declare, make and publish this to be our last will and testament, and rescind all wills by us previously made.
After payment of all our banquet bills, class book expenses and sundry debts, the surplus resulting from our class treasury is to be used to buy one bottle of ink, which is to be divided equally among all students of the school, and after cremating all our most valuable notebooks and pictures, the ashes of which we request to accompany us into eternity "for future reference," we do hereby will, devise, give and bequeath all that we heretofore claimed as ours (especially those things that will be of little value to us after we have departed ) to our beneficiaries as follows :
1. To our Alma Mater-Our class banner, with instructions that it shall be taken from the cupboard at least once in every ten years and receive a thorough dusting off.
2. To our Principal, Miss Lida Lee Tall-A photograph of each member of our Class. With these we leave one request-that no matter what may become of them they will never be used as cartoons for the Sunday "funnies."
3. To our Honorary Member, Miss Blanche Frum-At least five minutes spare time in each day in return for the time she has given us.
4. To the Librarians-All our precious and well-written "research works." If the student body does not find these helpful we suggest they be cut into small squares and be used as confetti at the school dances.
5. To the Faculty (especially to the Educational Measurements Depart- ment )-A distribution curve showing the I Q's of "twenty-six" to be used in the future as an example of a "highly intellectual group." To them we also leave all our "bright sayings," which may be used to amuse (?) students when they begin yawning in class.
6. To the Registrar-A new set of students who may break the monotony by having some other excuses besides our time-worn ones for tardi- ness and absences.
7. To the on-coming Seniors-Our most cherished front seats in the assembly and trust they will use them as often as we have and never "cut" them. Also to them we bequeath the joy of establishing the "rat's rules" for the in-coming Juniors.
8. To the in-coming Juniors-The joy of being dictated to, the happiness of being assigned term papers and book reports and the thrill of examinations.
40
9. To both Seniors and Juniors-All rooms, rest rooms and lockers. We advise all who can to secure an end locker as they allow room for bulging.
10. To the Commuting Students-The joy of hanging all the way out to Towson on one strap and standing on one foot. We can assure them nothing is so helpful in reducing or in acquiring a headache.
11. To the Boarding Students-All our empty rouge and powder boxes and all torn handkerchiefs and towels. If during the two years immediately following our departure Dame Fashion should rule that handkerchiefs and towels are no longer in vogue, they will make an excellent bonfire when the male students want to play "Indians."
With us we take the privilege of talking at the tops of our voices in the corridors. To no one do we leave this right.
We hereby, after much consideration, appoint the faculty to be the executor of this, our last will and testament.
Signed, sealed and declared by the Class of Nineteen Twenty-six, in the presence of the undersigned witness, this fair day of May in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and twenty-six.
ELSIE V. QUARLES.

A Junior Message
April 27, 1926.
Dear Juniors:
The end of this school year and the election of officers for the coming year suggests the advantage of preparing at this time a program of activities, a sort of platform, which shall serve as a promise to ourselves of things to be accomplished when we are Seniors. I submit a few headings about which such a program might be organized.
1. Scholarship.
Shall we make scholarship the fashion among us-set a goal for ourselves higher than any yet reached in our school?
2. Social Activities.
Shall we prepare a well-balanced program of social life for sections, for the whole class, for the whole school, for the school and guests? Shall we plan to fill our remaining short year with memories of rich social contacts and of fine service?
3. Student Participation in School Government.
Shall we use all the means available, the section, the class organization, the student council, the faculty, the school administration to initiate and carry through measures that will make for school growth?
42
4 . Support of Class and School Enterprises.
Shall we support wholeheartedly the athletic association, the health pro- gram, the student council, plays, concerts, lectures, etc., and do our share and more than our share in these activities, because we see their far-reaching influence?
5. Records.
Shall we set a high standard of accuracy, clearness and completeness with regard to our class records? Shall we keep an account of all we do, writing our class history as we go and making available for the next junior class the results of the profitable experiences we have had ?
6. Permanent Contributions to the School.
Shall we provide for definite contributions to the school in the way of wholesome traditions, and things of the spirit, as well as in material ways?
7. School Reputation.
Shall we assume personal responsibility for the impression that the public receives of our Alma Mater, and of the teaching profession ?
Other topics quite as important as those listed above might be suggested. You will think of many more, but these are my challenge.
With pride in this year's accomplishment, and confidence in you for what lies just ahead, I am,
Sincerely yours,
IRENE M. STEELE, Honorary Member of Junior Class.

Looking Forward
WO-THIRDS of our Junior year is over. That is really a very serious thought when we consider all we want to bring to our school next year, and that it is up to us to bring it about. Just two more short months and the present Senior class will have become Alumni and we will have been called out of our humble Junior state to become lofty Seniors. And with this passing of the old order come many duties and responsibilities. Ours will be the duty to guide and direct the Juniors of next year-to make their school life a likeable, inspiring one or just the opposite. The responsibility of editing and circulating "Tower Lights" will have descended to our shoulders, and in this enterprise most of our important work will be carried on. This is the permanent record of our life, our hopes and ambitions, our successes and failures. Ours is the duty to carry it on to strengthen it. Every phase of school life will be ours to mould and to handle. Every single thing we do will leave its impression, however small, on the school. Our influences will be felt. but in what way? Think it over seriously. Juniors -- it's up to you.
