fe? A C dl 0 P W We, the Senior Class of 1951, being in our usual unsolmd minds and high spirits, do bequeath to our privileged and lucky underclassmates, as heirs, our many and varied talents, our integrity, beauty, upright- ness, waywardness, spitball throwing accuracy, chair breaking records and our serene, unassuming attitudes in Mr. Holloway's English class. With sobbing hearts we will the following to the underlings of our Alma Mammy: To the juniors goes the honor of a free ride on the Undergrolmd Railroad. To the sophomores we bequeath the privilege of hard fought ex- cuses and skipping school. To the freshmen goes the warning never to say tough in history class.
