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 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.
