Last Will And Testament Being of sound mind with only a few loose screws, and having successfully? served our time for at least twelve years if. an institution of this type, do hereby bequeath all we have begged, borrowed, stolen, or acquired during those twelve years to many unsuspecting individuals and groups. To the Future Graduates, we leave the new building, unmarked, unscratched, unbroken, unpainted, uncarved, unmutilated, and unpaid for to see how long they can leave it as such. To the Teachers, we leave the unfound hiding places in the new building so they can catch the other kids where they didn't catch us. To Fred, we leave a tool set so he won't have to borrow Wade's all the time. To the Freshmen, we will the long halls to run in to burn up excess energy. To the Sophomores, we will the P.A. and intercom system so they can figure out a way to keep it from working. To the Juniors, we will time for they never seem to have enough of it, and when they become seniors they can have :heir corner in the assembly and the opportunity to make an annual. We will all our old cut up photographs, clippings, and glue from the annual, and all the muddy floors, initialed desks, old workbooks, worn notebooks, used bubble gum, pencil stubs, and old love notes to the janitor and his wife.
