WILL We, the members of the senior class of Huston Township High School, having arrived at the point in our careers where Trails Divide, and fully realizing that dangers lurk along the trail, have decided to leave behind us for safe keeping in the hands of our trusted school janitor, Mr. R. K. Williams, all our valuable belongings, to wit, as follows, namely, etc.: 1. We first request that all our grades be thoroughly disinfected so that there will be no danger of the Juniors catching them from us. 2. We further request that all our textbooks be thrown away, least underclassmen may some day find out where we gained all our knowledge. 3. To our teachers we leave the hope that they may some day have the privilege of teaching students as well behaved and intelligent as we have been. 4. To our Principal we bequeath our strict attention and cooperation in P. 0. D. class, our profound admiration and hope that in the future his work will be less tedious than when we were there to help him. 5. To our home room teacher, Mr. Cheslock, we leave our deepest respects, because if he hadn’t had a lot of patience and a good sense of humor, he wouldn’t be around now to read this. 6. We leave to Mrs. Hawk any stray notes that may have been lost at choir practices, and without her untiring patience our graduation activities could never have been such a success.
