We, the Class of 1948, being in as good mental condition as usual, and in much better temper than usual, do hereby make this our last will and testament. We have no specific directions to leave concerning our fun- eral, but we do hope you will come prepared to praise as well as bury us, forgetting the trifling faults that may have been ours and remembering only our manifold and remarkable virtues. We feel that our brillant record and our unusual achieve- ments will live after us. jie leave the Junior Class our good luck. It made us what we are today, so it should satisfy them. In addition to this we leave all our privileges and rights as Seniors together with any girls or boys whom we may have left behind in our haste. To the Sophomore Class, we leave our patience, a8 the only means by which they can endure the Juniors. To dear C.H.S., we leave the peaceful quiet caused by our absence. To Mr. Thomas we give a sense of relief that we have at last been zraduated, and a feeling of pride that the glory-if-any that our future may contain, we owe much to his counsel. To our teachers, we hereby give, free from taxes, our entire store of knowledge. From them it came and to them it should be returned. The smaller individual bequests are as follows: Bill Groseclose wills his love for Frances Catron to Jimny Wilson, hoping he will be her one and only and not one amons manye Esther Repass, Dorothy Crabtree, Arch Thompson, and Curt Stowers leave their basketball ability for the oncoming teains to use in the gymnasiun.
