CLASS WILL ARTICLE I ITEM I: We, the graduating class of 1961, being of shallow minds and haggared bodies, do leave to the not-so able-bodied students who are, unfortunately, following in our footsteps, those terrible rosy pink walls that stared and glared at us during the past year, the echo of all those arguments and disagreements that took place in home room, and to next year ' s seniors, we leave the pleasure of spying on the juniors to see if they can find out what the theme of the Prom is.
