LAST WILL AND TESTAMEFT OF THE 3ENI0R CLASS Wwe the graduating class of Grant Union High School;, located between John 'Jay and Canyon City, and serv- ing also the communities of Seneca and Izse (for Hyde’s bene- fit), state'of Oregon, being of as good a mental crundition as possible and with memories as’ good as usual, do make,- publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament, and hereby revoke all-former wills and testaments which may have been made singly, or as a group„ In this manner do ws dispose of our possessions; To our beloved teachers, the faculty of-Grant Hi, w© hereby return, with e huge sigh of relief, our entire store of knowledge. From them it came and to them it must be returnedo Along with this knowledge, we also wish to add much additional inf ormation we have obta5.ned by ourselves and which, if properly used, will help make up for the tre- mendous loss suffered by the graduating of the Class of 9 47. To the bond members of next year, we give our abi= lity to watch Mr. Sauer and the audience at the same time0 We may have lost a measure of skipped a beat in the music oocasstonally, but we never missed anybody or anything iru tis audience. I’d the football team of next year, we allow the privilege of gazing admiringly at the trophies that we have won. May they be an inspiration to you in the future and may you honor them as we have, we are really proud of them. To the Junior Class of this- year, our rightful heirs, we give, some-what reluctantly, the supreme privilege of calling themselves Seniors; our importance and wisdom, both of which we possess in enormous quantities; and our dignity, which they will need in order to conduct themselv® in an orderly ana refined manner as we have, and as Seniors should, We do not expect them to be able to follow in our footsteps, we know that no one could possibly do that, but all these things will help them. To our friends, the Sophomores, soon to become Juniors, we leave our patience, it will be found useful as the only means by which they can possibly endure the Senioia of next year. continued on next page
