Class Will We, the class of 1949, in the town of Beebe, the county of White, and the state of Arkansas. I eing in as good mental condition as usual, and in much l ct ter temper than usual, do hereby make this, our last will and testament, rendering void and of no avail any former will or wills that may have been previously made by us during a period of temporary optimism. Although. I cing as psychologically complex as befits a Senior class, we consist of thirty-five separate and distinct entities, or what have you. we are in such complete accord, thinking alike, and seldom, that the editorial — now. alas, funereal — we will lie used to denote our collective entity throughout this document. And in this manner do we dis| osc of our jhjs- sessions: We give and bequeath. freely and without reser- vations. to the Junior class our good luck and our well-known nerve. It made us what we are today and it should satisfy them. In addition, our privileges and rights as Seniors in the class room and on the campus will revert to them, as well as any notebooks, fountain pens, unfinished lollypops. or unfinished business, including debts contracted while engaged in the business of being a Senior, also any lx ys or girls whom we may have left l chind in our haste. To our good friends, the Sophomore- class, we leave our patience. It will l c found useful as the only means by which they can endure the Juniors. Io the young and unsophisticated Freshmen we leave a map of the school building, so that they will not get lost and roam about in everybody's way look- ing lor their classrooms. We include with this map our little l ook entitled. How to Tell the Teachers. a pamphlet compiled by us after four years of arduous study... The legatees will notice this l ook is not what” to tell the teachers but how . It contains specific information as to which teachers can l e bluff «1. which history teacher is especially fond of Na- poleon, and what questions to ask to make the sci- ence teacher forget the lesson and l c interesting. It will l e noticed that we have left the Freshman class-to-l e nothing. It is l ccausc by that time their self-valuation will have attained such heights that nothing in our possession would l c regarded by them as worthy of their distinction. To our dear old school building itself, we leave the peaceful quiet caused by our absence and any apples cores, wads of gum, or crumpled notes we may have left alxmi. lo our principal and superintendent we give and l equcath a sense of relief that we have at last l»ccn graduated, pleasant memories of our four years to- gether. and a feeling of pride in any great deeds or noteworthy achievements that our future may con- tain. realizing that such glories — if any — will owe much to their example and counsel. To our teachers, the faculty of the Beel c High school, we hereby give, free from all inheritance. luxury, or income lax. our entire store of knowledge. From them it came and to them it should l c returned, that others may l c l enefited by it as we have l ccn. Along with this knowledge is liequeathed much addi- tional information obtained by original research and contemplation. To next year’s class president we leave — with grave doubts as to his ability to use it — the sten- torian voice of our good president. Mary Ann Fry- ar. which enabled her to overcome all opj osition and to prevent others from knowing opposition existed. Also, we leave her ability to keep on good terms with the faculty and still do as she pleases, in other words, her executive ability. The smaller individual l equeaths are as follows: To the basketball team of next year the privilege of taking the place of our outstanding team. To the undergraduate needing it most, we give Joe Sims’ supply of language, which will enable the recipient to talk more and say less than any other human l eing. Also, to the undergraduate who is most in danger of not passing next year, we bequeath Charlie Olds' store of information, which will make it easy for him to pass any test in any subject, at any time. To the over-ambitious undergraduate — if such there Ikt — we leave the perfect indolence of Roycc Daniel. Some people sit and waste time. Roycc just sits. This indolence, properly used, will insure him against ncrvousc breakdowns resulting from over- study. To the laziest member of the Senior class-to-lxr. we bequeath Ruth Harrison's ambition. If it is com- binet! with the laziness previously mentioned, the result will l e normal activity. To the Junior class we give, reluctantly but of necessity, our mantle of dignity. We realize that the class can never fill it but. since it is expected of them, our advice is Grin and wear it.” Besides these liequcaths. we leave our best wisltcs to any and all who desire tern. Any property or personal posessions of ours that may remain in addition to the items specified we give and l cqucath to the Bccl c Board of F.ducation to use as it sees fit. We can think of nothing that we have forgotten except our old liooks. and we suggest that they be given to the Freshman class, thus saving money which may l c applied either to the teachers' salaries or toward the installation of the special stair- way on which the Freshman class can have their races when the Inrll sounds. Finally, we do hereby name and appoint as the sole executor of this, our last will and testament, our class sponsor, Mr. Vandament. In witness whereof we. the class of 1949. the test- ator. have set our hand anti seal on this sixth day of May in the year of 1949.
