ANN MARIE BARBARA DEBORAH TIME HAS PASSED cororty AND NOW WE. 2moe. ovaor, HAVE BECOME THE GRAVE AND REVEREND SENIORS We grave and reverend Seniors, Who though the years so slow We spent in acquisition Of things we had to know, Are filled with wild excitement; At last the goal is won. We gaze in admiration Upon the work we've done. The courses we have taken, The stiff exams, we've passed Would indicate intelligence; With wonder we're aghast. The faculty, they tell us, Are equally surprised, For when they found us passing They scarce believéd their eyes. Perhaps it was their wisdom That dragged us up to grade, And so we're saying, Thank you, Ne For good advice and aid. How often we have counted The time till holidays, And wished the hours were shorter In education's ways! But now we may discover What old folks say is true: Life's working day is lengthy, And holidays are few. Still armed with high endeavor We'll meet fate with a smile -. PATRICIA And strive with heart undaunted, Remembering the while That life, despite misfortune, Is but adventure gay, And Death's a friend that gives us A last long holiday. ROBER Tyce ROBERT «T.

SENIOR CLASS WILL We, the class of 1967 of South Dorchester High School, Dorchester County, Mary- land, being sound in both mind and body, do hereby make this duly attested will to dispose of our possessions. If any slight discrepancies or apparent injustices or partialities should appear to you in the distribution of our effects, we trust that you will pardon them and realize that these things are not caused by exhaustion of the brain. And in this manner do we dispose of our possessions: Item 1 We give and bequeath to the Junior class all the examination questions we have been given during the past year. The answers, never known in entirety by us, are not included in this legacy. Item 2 To our good friends, the Sophomore Class, we leave our patience. It will be found useful as the only means by which they can endure the Juniors. Item 3 To the sophisticated and confident'' Freshmen we leave our little book en- titled, 'How to Tell the Teachers, a pamphlet compiled by us during our years of arduous study. It contains specific information as to which teachers can not be bluffed, which are easy, and which are hard to please. It tells who your favorite authors must be to stand well with the English and reading departments, which social studies teacher is especially fond of government, and which one is partial toward economic development. It tells what questions to ask the science and math teachers to make them really forget the lessons and be interesting. It also contains a list of the favorite books in the library and explains how and when to borrow and return them. Finally, the pamphlet gives clues on how to be physically fit in order to make the teams and win the trophies. The information in this book is invaluable to anyone wishing to make high grades in the subjects mentioned. Item 4 We leave to next year's eighth grade students our good luck. It made us what we are today and should satisfy them. Item 5 We give and bequeath to the incoming seventh grade a map of the school building to enable them to find the following rooms in the order of their importance: The cafeteria, the gymnasium, and the classrooms. Item 6 To the athletes of next year we leave the privilege of gazing admiringly at the trophies that previous teams have won. Item 7 To next year's class president we leave Andrew's ability to overcome all opposition and to prevent others from knowing opposition existed. Item 8 To the undergraduate needing it most, we give Edward's supply of language, which will enable the recipient to talk more and say less than any other human being. Item 9 To the over-ambitious undergraduate we leave Tommy's perfect indolence, which if properly used will insure against nervous breakdown from overstudy. Item 10 To the Student Council we leave the authority to designate the cafeteria as a ''Recovery Room for students confined to the health room. Item 11 To our dear old school building itself, we leave sadness and gloom caused by our departure. Item 12 To our principal we leave our gratitude for his counsel and guidance. Item 13 To our teachers, the faculty of South Dorchester High School, we hereby give, free from all taxes, our entire stock of knowledge. From them it came and to them it should be returned, that others may be benefited by it as we have been. Besides these bequests, we leave our best wishes to any and all who may desire them. Finally, we do hereby name and appoint as the sole executrix of this our last will and testament, our class adviser, Mrs. Alois C. Matthews. In witness whereof, we, the class of 1967, the testator, have set our hand and seal on this first day of June in the year of 1967.

Our school is made up of classes--each class comprised of individuals--each having individual qualities. Since all people do not have equal abilities, they are recog- nized separately. But, the most important factor is that the majority of our students are ready, willing and able to learn. There- fore students carrying their books into school symbolize the character of our classes at South Dorchester. ala, CLASSES
