CLASS TILL --Y friends,I ha e called you to assemble here as a solemn duty that you, the heirs and assigns of my respected clients, the class of 1950 may hear her last will and testament, which as her legal adviser I drew’ as directed by her, ’ If any apparent injustice or partiality should appear to you in the distribution of our effects,we trust you will pardon it and realize it is caused, not by exhaustion of our brain, never over-robust. Hay I, as well as my lamented client, entreat that you secure your respective legacies in the spirit of unselfish friendship with which they were given,I shall appreciate your courteous attention while I read this duly attested will. Vie, the. class of 1950 jm the town of Hartsville, tfce county of Darl- ington, and the state of South Carolina,being in as good mental condition as usual, and in much better temper than usual, do hereby make this our last will and testament, rendering void and of no avail any former will or wills that may have been previously made by us during a period of tem- porary optimism. Although, being as psychologically complex as befits a Senior Class we consist of eight separate and distinct entities, or ;vhat have you we are in complete accord and think alike. ’ . e feel that pur brilliant 'record and our unusual achievements will live after us, but, not wishing to take any chances we suggest that a tablet, on which shall, be inscribed rad placed in the auditorium.of the school m a position where it will strike the eye of all who enter. And in this manner do we dispose of our possessions 1 ITEM: V e give and bequeath, freely and without reservations to the Junior lass, our self-satisfaction, our importance, and our wisdom, all of which we possess in enormous quantities. :7e also leave the Junior Class our good luck. It made us what we are today, and it should satisfy them. In addition to this,all onr privileges and rights as seniors in Classroom will revert to them as well as aay notebooks, pencils, fountain pen», unfinished lollypops, or unfinished business. T+ 1° 0Ur 200(1 friends the Sophomore Class,we leave our patience. I wil] be found useful as the only moan© by which they can endure the Juniors ITEM: To the young and unsophisticated 'reshmen we leave a map in the school building, so that they will not get lost, and roam about in everybody ,s way looking for their clas rooms, V7e include with this map our little book entitled, How to Tell the Teachers , a pamphlet compiled by us after four years of arauous study. You will notice this book is not what to tell the teachers but how. It contains specific information as to which teachers can be bluffcd,which are .easy and which are hard to olease ana those whom it is impossible to please.
