We, the supreme Seniors, do present to the here-to-fore unheard of Sophomores our ability to be heard. Article III. (Individual Bequests) I, Lawrence Read, do leave my curly locks to Sidney Chase. I guarantee that a curling iron used twice a week will keep them that way. I, Esther Galloway, do leave my efficient management of the school paper to Ardith Wingeier. Keep a good check on them.

Use it well and maybe you will be mayor. I, Harold Zeigler, do leave my musical ability to Mark Hoppough. Keep that trombone oiled and it will slide easier.
