. lam Wi!! E, THE CLASS of 1948, having been declared muddled and mixed of mind and body, proclaim this our last will and testament and do hereby give and bequeath: To our underclassmen we leave our sincerity of purpose, good marks and our ability to get along with the teachers. We give the manly shoulders and muscles of our male members to next year's football team. We leave the poise and dignity of our girls to next year's seniors so that they may carry their office as successfully as we have. We bequeath our ability to keep Room G spick and span to the janitors so the Juniors won't have to work so hard. Our ability to get away with murder goes to all lovers of a good time. It can be done. ' We leave our boy's basketball skill and our girl's cheering ability to carry on the traditions of Central. We bequeath our outstanding ability to keep the halls orderly ,and noiseless to the Juniors. To the Sophomores we leave the prospect of a wonderful trip and as much fun as we have had. To the Freshmen we leave three more years of happy association with friends and teachers. We hope you make the most of them. To Miss Sowalsky we leave our everlasting thanks for her patience and help in all our undertakings. Without her our high school years could never have been as successful or as much fun. Finally, having disposed of all our wordly possessions and attributes, we must leave Central and all our friends of school days . . . We shall think of all of you with longing in our hearts and I am sure we will miss you very much. Witnesses: Miss Hush The Walkz'ng Man Johrfs Other Wife 33

frm Song Tune: The Best Things In Life Are Free We've met today to say so-long - To friends of dear Central High. We'll all be back - It won't be long, To show that We're satisfied. The dances we had - The games that we Won - They won't leave us sad - For We've'had our fun! We've met new friends and loved them All, In halls of old Central High. We'll ne're forget each helping hand, That led us through each long day. To parents and friends in all the land - Our Thanks is all we can say. We've made each dream ours - To have And to hold - But now we feel sad - As We reach the Threshold , So now we leave it all to you - For We must go on our way. 34 Thelma Weeden
