To Miss Sarah Lesley we leave all the books in our library which treat the subject of the seriousness of life. Still her smiles have served as blessings on many dismal days. Item 14.

Fo the Student Council we do leave the balance of our class bank account to be used in the purchase of “stop” and “go” traffic signals. I he location of said signals we leave to the judgment of the venerable Bill Petree.
