C ss Will We, the class of 1952, in order to form a more confusing high school, establish crime, insure trouble, promote the general disturbance, provide for the more complete destruction of the system, and secure the reputation of juvenile delinquents to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and es- tablish this Last Will and Testament for the Senior Class of Major Edwards High School, hereby revoking all wills heretofore made by us. After the payments of our just debts and funeral charges, we bequeath and devise as follows: 1. To the undergraduates we leave from one to several years more in this noble institution- and our heartfelt sympathies. Also, 365 extra days to complete the homework assign- ments due to Seniors. 2. To Mr. Pulsifer, we leave a one Way com- munication system between his office and U.S. History Class. 3.

To Mr. Lepore, our class advisor, we leave our deepest thanks and appreciation for the many helpful ways in which he has guided us during this past year. 5. To Mr. McNaney we leave a megaphone so that his voice will be heard as effectively all over the school without the worry of straining it 6.
