THE LAST WILL AND TESTAME T It's June - and Mart is pushing the old lawn mower back and forth just outside Room 101 3 the grade school children, freshly scrubbed and starched, are shouting, School's out! School's out! Teacher let the fools out! Susie and Buzz are dashing madly to classes with caps and gowns flapping out behind. The class of forty-one!-a noisy, laughing group of kids who doubtless have caused the faculty many headaches. Suddenly we stop and find that under our bucolic sophistication, there's a funny feeling in the pits of our stomachs and lumps in our throats. But this is no time for tearful memories, for, as you know, the class of forty-one always leaves them laughing! wk Dk Ik Ik ik We, the Happy Savages fotherwise known as The Senior Class of East Grand Rapids High Schoolj, 'liv- ing in a state of perfection, both mentally and physi- cally, and feeling a spasmodic twinge of generosity, do make, publish and declare this our last will and testament.

Jeanne Brackett bequeaths a friendly smile and mastery of domestic affairs to Mary Oostveen. Patty Clark surrenders her perennial vitality and a large box of Kellogg's Pep to Mary Lee Barkman.

We know that Ed will appreciate having us recommend him for future senior teas. Fred Currier sheds a sileqt tear but passes on his famous horse laugh to jimmyp Drummond. jackie Deeb leaves a not book full of questions which have never been ask d to Louanne johnson.
