CLASS WILL Now that we, the men of tomorrow, have completed prep school life, we are about to step from under the sheltering wings of our alma mater into the open arms of the wide world. No matter how rocky the road as we forge our way through 1ife's battles ahead, the glorious memory of Monson will live forever close to our hearts. In order that our memory also may live forever, echoing through the halls of Monson Academy, we, the Class of 1946, make the follow- ing bequests: ARTICLE I. To our mothers and fathers, our undying thanks for the sacrifices that they have made for us. Though we may find it difficult to manifest our appreciation, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. ARTICLE II. To our headmaster, Mr. George E. Rogers, and to Mrs. Rogers, our heartfelt gratitude for their earnest efforts in our behalf, and for their devotion to our welfare and success. . ARTICLE III. To the trustees, a vision of an enlarged Monson Academy in Flynt Park. May these buildings, embodying the splendor and beauty of the new, lack nothing of the tradition and glory of the old. ARTICLE IV.
