' rr erm mr My friends, I have called you to assemble here as a solemn duty, that you, the heirs and assigns of my respected client, the class of 1949, may hear her last will and testament, which, as her legal advisor, I drew, as directed by her, immediately prior to her passing from our presence. It was her intention and would have been her great pleasure to present you personally with these tokens of her esteem, but finding her possession were even more extensive and valuable than she had thought, it was impossible, particularly as her last days were so occupied with social engagements and other dates not so social, but of great importance to the future, which she was obliged to keep with various members 'of the faculty. On these occasions, such weird and unexpected questions were addressed to her, and immediate answer in writing being required, that the strain left her too weary for additional effort. I shall appre- ciate your courteous attention while I read this duly attested will. We, the class of l949, in the town of Lockbourne, the county of Franklin, and the state of Ohio, being in as good 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. We have no specific direction to leave concerning our funeral, but we do hope you will come prepared to praise as well as bury us, forgetting the trifling faults that may have been ours. We feel that our brilliant record and our unusual achievements will live after us, but, not wishing to take any chances, we suggest that a tablet, on which shall be inscribed our several names and a few of our most astounding deeds, be purchased and placed in the auditorium of the school in a position where it will strike the eye of all who enter. And in this manner do we dispose of our possessions: ARTICLE I We give and bequeath to the Iunior class our well-known nerve, which they will need next year, and all the examination questions we have been given during the past year. We believe that an examination, like history often repeats itself. To our good friends, the Sophomore class, we leave our patience. It will be found useful as the only means by which they can endure the Iuniors. To the young and unsophisticated Fresh- nien we leave a little book entitled, I-Iow IAS read by the class lawyerl to Tell the Teachers, a pamphlet compiled by us after four years of arduous study: The legatees will notice this book is not What to tell the teachers but How. It con- tains specific information as to which teachers can be bluffed, which are easy and which are hard to please and those whom it is impossible to please. It tells who your favorite authors must be to stand well with the English department, which history teacher is especially fond of Napo- leon and what questions to ask to make the science teacher forget the lesson and be interesting. 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 behind. To our principal we give and bequeath a sense of relief that we have at last been graduated. To our teachers, we hereby give, free from all inheritance, luxury, income tax, our entire store of knowledge. For from them it came and to them it should be re- turned. Along with this knowledge is be- queathed much additional information ob- tained by original research. We feel that it will prove sufficiently startling to merit consideration and might even, with profit, be incorporated in the next course of study. The smaller individual bequests are as fol- lows: ARTICLE H I, RAY HENSON, will the privilege of gazing admiringly at my football record to HARRY SCHUTTE. To HILDA WEARS I, HARRY CANNON, give a supply of language, which will enable the recipient to talk more and say less than any other human being. To the over-ambitious NELSON HOUCK I, IIM HARVEY leave my love of ease and avoidance of labor. Having collected a look entitled Mem- oirs of My Love Life from GEORGE HOOVER we bequeath it to DONN HUTCH- INSON. I, ILA BAUM, give my ability to watch the band leader and the audience at the same time to DON O'HARRA. I, BOBBIE MONWAY, will my brown eyes to ELEANOR KNIGHT and hope she has as much fun with them as I have had. To IOAN RAWLINS, I, DEE CONLEY give my mantle of dignity. I, MARVIN OLNEY, leave Claire in the care of CHARLES MAC DONALD until I can claim her for keeps in 1952. I, IIM FLEAK, will my privilege of attend- ing school for V2 day to FRED TOPE.
