We make this our Last Will and Testament: We, the class of 1946 of Broadway High School, realizing we are setting out on a long and dangerous journey from which many of us may never return, deem it wise to make our will and dispose of all personal and collective property which we have accumulated in the last four years. We, the Senor class, being of sound and disposing mind and memory and first in the hearts of the Juniors, do hereby make and publish this Last Will and Testament. Our inheritance tax is to be paid out of the overflowing funds of the last four years which were swelled due to our good looks, sportsmanship in athletics, genius in contesting, and versatility and dramatic ability which attracted large crowds to all public functions. One half of all our personal accounts is to be paid on our debt of gratitude to our teachers for their unfailing interest in us and for their endeavors to guide us in the right paths of thinking and living. To Alma Mater we leave the Junior Class to fill our vacant places in the Senior Room. I, Alvin Armentrout, having secured a surplus amount of ex¬ perience in managing the Senior Year Book will part of this ex¬ perience to Billy Southerly. I, Charles Baker, will my winning smile, the glossy finish on my hair, my feminine complexion and the crease in my trousers to Gerald Spitzer.

I, Robert Renalds, will to my brother, Sidney, my love for study, my efficiency in pulling curtains, and my generosity in assisting the girls.

I, Audrea Armentrout, will my quiet ways, my pleasing person¬ ality, and my large rolling eyes to June Litton. I, Cathleen Comer, will my length, width and breadth to Vonda Miller.
