The subjoining list will be recognized as entailed estates, to which we declare the lower classmen the rightful heirs: To the Junior Class, our Senior dignity. May they uphold it forever with all seriousness and gravity; endeavoring to realize the vast importance, in spite of their natural light-mindedness. To the Sophomores, we leave any stub pencils, erasers, notes, or scraps of paper that we may chance to leave behind us in the excitement of gathering up our cherished treasures for the last time. To the Freshman Class, any spare bits of powder puffs, broken vanity cases, pieces of mirrors, toothless combs, cakes of powder or powder in any form that may be found wandering aimlessly around the building unclaimed. We feel that this will be appreciated as they will soon be old enough to use such articles. These things are for boys and girls alike. To the Freshman Class of next year, we leave our school colors, with the sincere wish that they will be as loyal to the “Maroon and Gold” as we have been. To the public at large we bestow our appreciation of the benefits and blessings that this, our beautiful and prosperous community, affords; with its pleasant scenery, beautiful sunsets, mountains—ad infinitum—and hope that every one will appreciate and cherish these natural blessings which we have so much enjoyed. In witness hereof, we, the Class of 1950, the testators, have to this will, set our hand and seal, this 1st day of June, A.D., one thousand nine hundred and fifty.
