64,0 7512 We, duly authorized attorneys of the regular bar of Scott County Circuit Court have hereby, upon behalf of our client, the Class of 1946, of the School of Austin, State of Indiana, assembled you together on this solemn occasion to listen to the last will and testament of said Class, duly made out by us, legally signed and witnessed by said testator. We the Class of 1946, having come to our last hours, and being in full possession of our faculties, feel it incumbent upon us to say a few words to our heirs concerning the long years which we have passed together, more or less happily. Our life has been long and full of vicissitudes, yet we have often thought that the life which is full of what are known as Ups and Downs is the most enjoyable, because the con- trast between light and shade, prosperity and adversity, make a varied existence which is at- tractive to every human being. We have seen some lives that rolled on with such perfect peace- fulness and quiet, no startling upheavals, no changes of any kind, that it became wearisome just to behold them. We are arranging our worldly effects and consigning to our lawful and natural heirs all our worldly goods and chattels with all the appurtenances and hereditaments thereunto be- longing, to each one the peculiar property seeming best fitted to his or her needs. We further want to be distinctly understood that if any one of the beneficiaries of this will shall attempt to dispute or in any way change the items of this document, he or she, must be immediately cut off wholly and entirely from any and all of its provisions. To our Principal, we leave blessed peace, calm days and peaceful nights, undisturbed b the harrowing problems that we as a class presented him. To the teachers and trustees we bequeath all the patience, forbearance, long-suffering and self-sacrifice ever possessed by us, on principle that, To him that hath shall be given. To our other heirs, the Freshmen, we do will and bequeath the remainder of our most treasured possessions. To the juniors our well-known ability to talk back in self defense, and to make any act- ion we may see fit to commit, seem perfectly justifiable and proper, in fact the only thing to do. To the Sophomores,-who are soon to become juniors, we bequeath and devise all our stupidity and frailty for blundering at the simplest tasks, also all the beautiful ease with which We forget, set aside and banish forever the difficult ones. To the janitor, his heirs and assigns forever, we bequeath the inalienable and indis- soluble right of passing opinions upon the personal appearance of the teachers whether favor- able or otherwise.
