Last Will and Cestament of the Class of 1957 We, the graduating class of B. H. S., located on a plot of land on Center Street, having finally managed to scrape up, by hook or by crook (mostly by crook) enough points to permit us to tuck a diploma under our arms and trudge sorrowlfully from our Alma Mater, do declare this to be our last will and testa- ment. To the school, we leave an empty homeroom (206) to be filled by another class of mad impetuous scholars who dream of being seniors, (the fools). To Mr. Thomas we leave a bagful of charity C’s just in case his present supply ever gives out. To Miss Billings we leave our most sincere appreciation and thanks for her guidance. To Mr. Horton we leave a motorcyle so that he can pass out detention slips more rapidly. To Mr. Lynch we leave two empty pockets which is a we have after our contributions “for the cause.’ I, BETTY BAUMGARTEN, leave EVILO McGINNIS, my place on the basket- ball team. Hope the uniform fits you. It doesn't fit me. I, MARJORIE BAYLISS, leave to LOIS BROWN anything she wants. 1, RUSSELL BETTS, leave to DONALD FOLEY my ability to stay out of de- tention.
