CLASS WILL We, the members of the class of l947, having reached the goal of our high school career, and though worn to a frazzle from the strain of overtaxing our brains, still being of sound mind, mem- ory and understanding, do make this our Last Will and Testament, thereby revoking and making illegal all former wills or 'testaments by us at any time heretofore made. As to our property, real or personal or any of that which we are rightly entitled at the date of our departure we devise, be- queath, and dispose thereof in the following way, to wit: , We give and bequeath to the seniors of '48 all our surplus cash, bonds, and uncashed checks and all our earthly stocks, after, which this noble institution, Willis High School, our Alma Mater,-is to be reimbursed for any damage we may have caused. We leave to our teachers our incompleted lessons and our poorest rendered recitationsg we also leave to them restful nights and undisturbed slumber, for no longer will they have to worry about our examinations Cwhich never did bother us in the leastl. No longer will our grades disappoint them. No longer will they have to listen to our troubles. May they enjoy their well earned rest after such strenous toil, worry, and sweat as they may haveg spent over us. For future use, we will to the Freshman Class the large sup- ply of brain power which was willed to us several years ago by a sen- ior class, but wenever neededit. The above mentioned is to be used bythem carefully and persistently while they are still in Willis High School. ln order that the Sophomores may not feel slighted by our . generous offerings, we will to them the generous supply of chewing gum that is stuck to the desks and to the door leading into Mrs. Chap- man's classroom. A We give and bequeath to the underclass men our vast knowledge of 'show to get along with the teachers . Each member of the class has one or two earthly possessions which he wishes to bestow upon one of 'his schoolmates: Donovan lohnsonz His well managed hair and big smile to Paul Willich. Maisie Sale: Her giggles to Ruth Ann Jacobson. Don Knudson: His ability to get along with the referee to Bob Taylor. Dale Zimmerman: His ability to sing to L. Burton Grosfield. Delores Ross: Her ability to attract Powhattan to Fern White. Marvin Kale: His ability to play the piano to Lloyd Kneisel. Marvin Kale and.Dale Zimmerman

IUNIOR-SENIOR PLAY The junior and Senior Classes put on their play, HThe Antics of Andrew , April llth. The setting for the play was the combined dining and living room in the first floor apart- ment of Andrew Browne, near the Cameron College Campus. Living with Andrew in his famcy apartment are Willie Waldo and Harold Hadley, his pals. Andrew's Uncle Isaac from New Zealand gave Andrew fifty dollars a month to go to college and told him that if he married it would be advanced to one hundred dollars. Andrew wrote Uncle Isaac that he married and that his mother-in-law had come to live with him, so the allowance was increased to one hundred and fifty dollars a month. The peak of excitement was reached when a telegram arrived saying that Uncle Isaac was in town and that he would be at the apartment in fifteen minutes, As Willie and Harold were dressed as girls for a college play to be held the next night, Andrew had them act as his wife and mother-in-law. There were many hilarious times when the boys slipped out of character. In the end Uncle Isaac say the boys' disguise but he overlooked the deception because Andrew planned to marry Althea Thorne soon. . L. Burton Grosfield
