SENIOR CLASS WILL We, the class of 1951, in the town of Capevill, the county of Northampton, and the state of Virginia, being in as good mental condition as usual, and in much better 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. We feel that our brilliant record and our unusual achievements will live after us but, not wishing to take any chances, we suggest that a tablet, on which shall be inscribed our several names and a few of our most astounding deeds,be purchased and placed in the hall of our school in a position where it will strike the eye of all who enter. And in this manner we dispose of our posessions. We give and beq ueath, freely and without reservation to the Sixth Grade Class our rightful heirs, and to their heirs and assign forever our properties, they are: our self satisfaction, our importance, and our wisdom, all of which we possess in enormous q.uantities, and we hope that the said gifts will be of use in over coming their present inertia. we give and bequeath to the Juniors our well-known nerve, which they will need next year, and all the examination questions we have been given the past year. To our good friends the fifth grade class we leave pur patience. May they find it useful as it is the only means by which they can endure the Juniors. To the very young and unsophisticated fourth Grade we leave a map of the school building, so that they will not get lost and roam about in every body’s way looking for the classrooms on floor one. To our dear old school building Itself, we leave the peaceful quiet caused by our absence ana any apple cores, wads of gum,and crumpled notes we may have left about. To our principal we give and bequeath a sense of relief that we have at least graduated, pleasant memories of our seven years together, and a feeling of pride in any great deeds or noteworthy achievements that our future may contain, realizing that if we succeed, will owe much to his example and council.
