18 Senior Will We, the Class of 1951, being in the best of health, both physically and mentally, do hereby declare this to be our last will and testament. To the school as a whole, we leave. the echoes of our little feet across the assembly floor, our gentle voices drifting through the lower halls, and our relieved sighs when at last we clutch our long-awaited diplomas in our hot little hands. To the principal and teachers, we leave four bottles of aspirin and this word of en- couragement: ‘‘There’s better days a comin ?!”’ To the slap-happy Juniors, we leave our serious and sensitive natures, To the Sophomores, we leave the greater part of all that dignity which our class has been willed during the past three years. P.S. Although this dignity is third- handed, it is hardly used. To the Freshmen, we leave these suggestions: 1, Be good, 2. If you can’t be good, be wise. 3. If you can’t be good, and you can't be wise, then BEWARE! A nd last, but not least, to the janitors we leave the strength to carry on in the face of all those discarded exam papers, torn up love letters and vulgar cuds of gum, Lastly, we, the following individuals, do hereby will these prized possessions: I, Dale Altimus, will my ability to annoy the bus driver to Billy Stonebraker. I, Harold E, Arney, will my shy and modest ways to Floyd Schwortzengraber, I, Marie Bell, will my bashfulness to Arlene Zongker., I, Mona Boyd, will my freckles to Bertha Voges.
