Last Will and Testament We, the members of the Senior Class of 1944, realizing that we are approaching the turn in the road which marks the completion of our happy high school years, being of sounder minds than any who have been our predecessors, and possess¬ ing unparalelled physical and mental capacities, do hereby make this, our last will and testament.

The Class of 1944, HOWARD JAMES, Lawyer.
