Senior Will The Senior of the .:1a of 1951, being of firm mind, kind hear and generous souls, do hereby bequeath their worldly possessions to those that they feel will benefit f:om them and pass them on to aid the other who must climb the four step to attain a high school education. To the faculty, the fifty-oners leave their most sincere appreciation for their guidance and patience when we once in a very great while got a little out of hand. We leave to the Juniors our brilliant minds, good looks, great talents and unconceited ways, so that they too may be another class of outstanding Seniors.
