The Class of 1947 of Johnson C. Smith University, claiming full health of bixlv and mind and believing ourselves fullv capable of disposing of all our vvordlv belongings, do declare this our last Will and Testament and render null and void anv wills previously made by us. Such accumulations and estate as it has pleased kind Fate to bestow upon us we dispose of as follows; It is our desire that all expenses incurred through our burial services be met by those thousands of dollars that were supposed to have reached us from home but never did. To our dear Alma Mater, that has so effectively served humanity through the years, we f)ledge cur unwavering loyalty and support as long as there is a Johnson C. Smith. We leave with this promise. To Dr. McCrorey, the Administration and Faculty, we do will and bequeath our sincere thanks and appreciation for their untiring efforts and useful service to the University and especially that part of which we ourselves have fortunately partaken. To our beloved parents who have spent the best years of their lives struggling and sacrificing that we might continue our education, we express our indebtedness and do hereby declare to shape our hereafter that it will bring them only joy and contentment in their old age. To all our fellow schotjlmates whom we leave behind, we will and bequeath all the solutions to the problems that are sure to come in your Senior year, and our abilities, good sense and patience, that it took to solve them. To all who may come after us we offer congratulations for choosing this our Alma Mater and may they enjoy some of the luxuries that were denied us during our sojourn. We do hereby appoint and constitute the President of the First National Hank i)f C harlottc and the County Judge to execute this our last Will and Testament. In testimony whereof we, the Class of 1947, have to this our last Will and Testament set our hands and seal, this the thirtieth day of May Anno Domini one thousand nine hundred and forty -seven. The Class of 1947 (Seal) Ruth King Winona Lee Class Representatives Vage ] wenty-six
