LAST WILL and TESTAMENT ofthe CLASS of 1950 We, the class of 1950, in the town of Cowpens, the county of Spartanburg, and the state of South Carolina, being in as good a 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. Article 'I-To our superintendent and principal we give and bequeath a sense of relief that we have at last been graduated, pleasant memories of our years together, and a feeling of pride in any great deeds or noteworthy achievements that our future may contain, realizing that such glories, if any, will owe much to their example and counsel. Article Il-To our teachers, the faculty of the Cowpens High School, we bequeath our valuable sense of humor, without which we should have found school life painful indeed, and which will do much to make it endurable for them. Article Ill-To our dear old school building itself, we leave the peaceful quiet caused by our absence and any apple cores, wads of gum, or crumpled notes we may have left about. Article IV-We give and bequeath, freely and without reservations or stipulations, to the Junior class, our rightful heirs, and to their heirs and assigns forever, our most important and valuable properties, that is, our self satisfaction, our importance, and our wisdom, all of which we possess in enormous quanti- ties, and we hope said gifts will be of use in over- coming their present inertia.
