Each year, Imua asks seniors for bequeathments– something left in the absence of someone else, usually in a will due to a death. While the class of 2025 is not currently dying, they are leaving for greater things, and some of our seniors shared things they want to give to underclassmen. Dating back to the late 1940s, bequeathments are among Imua’s oldest traditions. In 2025, we’re proud to keep the tradition alive for your reading pleasure!
