Last Will and Testament We the Class of ' il, being of sound mind and memory, do make publish and de- clare this our last will and testament, in manner and form as follows : Article I We bequeath to the Junior Class our seats in the assembly, our well-worn books, and our ability to carry on a conversation regardless of time and place. We give to the Sophomore Class our strong sense of humor. (Try using it outside of class.) To those inherently absent minded Freshmen we will and bequeath 100 pairs of non-skid ten-foot stilts so they can be high enough in the air to at least see the tops of the upijerclassmen ' s noses. To the entire school we give, devise, and bequeath a feeling of peace and relief of mind, occasioned by our graduation, and also a new system whereby tests are made self-answering so that those who follow in our footsteps may be saved the worry that brought untimely gray hairs to the heads of the illustrous members of the Class of ' 47.
