LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE CLASS OF 194b Dispensing with the usual formalities connected with the drawing up of wills, we feel that the substitution of a simple explanation of our purpose in writing this document will be sufficient, especially since the superiority of the present class over any which have graduated in the past is obvious. Amid the great rejoicing that accompanies the feeling of accomplishment that one gets at grad- uation there is mingled also a sense of regret at leaving companions with whom we have associated during our high school years and at parting with our dear Alma Mater After a great deal of thoughtful consideration, we of the Senior Class of 1948 have decided that we will bequeath to the Junior Class (which is soon to take our place), in our last will and testament, the traits of character which we possess and which we feel would enable them to attain the high standard which we have set wtfh our abundant supply of wisdom.
