Graduates Making S-Wills, Pro phecies, In Miss Perring's roomn we are making' wills, prophecies, hiistories and hatchet orations. The idea of a will is this: an uipper classman wills one of his beloved possessions to a lower classinan. A prophecy is a thing whiclh tells. %vhat you are going to do when you grow up. The history lists the oôutstand- ing events which bappcnied, since kindergarten up to eight h 1gradte. The hatchet oration is that in' whicb an upper classman gives the lower class- man a hatchet and tells bim -to' keep it in good condition and to clit his way through thet year.-Bil[ Spinney, Stolp lB.
