Y e, the Seniors of 1950 being of sound mind, memory, and of respectable character, are now considering gravely the matter of settling all of our affairs at E. H. S. before leaving its stately portals, do hereby make and publish this to be our last Will and Testament, annulling all others previously made. FIRST we commit our seats and unpaid debts to the forthcom- ing highschool students. To the faculty, the amazing knowledge and startling infor- mation we furnished from time to time on examination papers and the relief that at last we have graduated. To the Junior class, fo any other class as badly in need, we will our lady-like and gentlemanly manners demonstrated in and out of the classrooms of E. H. S. Our grades in conduct are to be distributed equally among the other classes. To the Sophomores, we will all of our boldness, wisdom, and nerve which will be needed to endure the future Seniors. To the Freshmen class, the Seniors bequeath their patience, courage, and scholarship to be used generously. To our faithful janitor, we leave all our rubber bands, thumb tacks, erasers, wads of gum, scraps of paper, broken desks, and et cetera To the dear old school building we leave the quietness that will echo through the halls as a result of our absence. To the Volleyball girls-the privilege of gazing at our trophy, and the hope that they will do better next year. The following may seem as trifling bequests, but they are not to be accepted as worthless things but as valuable assets to those who may receive them. Beth wills her ability to talk hash-tut to Sheroll, for use in conversing with Frances over the telephone. To Gwen G., Mary wills her long hair, but not the color, she feels she can't part with that. John wills his office of Senior President to any Junior who has the courage. Lila and Midge will their spiking ability to Dorothy and Shirley M. to be used to the best of their knowledge. To Janice K., Marion wills his trumpet for continued use in the Elmwood Band. Junior wills his glasses to John T., just in case he breaks his present pair. Eunice wills her glasses to Frances for her to see all the views in Eagle. Mary and Marion and Lila and Lyle bequeath the problem of getting their names mixed up to the Shirleys, Ralphs, and Janices. Bernita leaves her curly hair to Joan, and Berdena her blond hair to Darlene. Marion wills to Murell-the ability to do anything and every- thing-without comment from the teachers. To Shirley K., Mary leaves the privilege of dreaming over the name Pete. Jim wills his Model A--complete with straight pipe, pin- ups, radio, and heater--to Ralph B. to use to the best of his knowledge. Marion bequeaths his amazing ability to stay on good terms with the members of the opposite sex from Lincoln, Elmwood, and Murdock at all times to Chuck.
