Last Will and Testament of the Senior Class of 1956 We, the Senior Class of nineteen hundred and fifty-six, realizing that our days at Montvale High School are slowly coming to an end, and now possessing what we hope is a very great deal of intelligence, rare personalities, and talents for many walks of life, do here¬ by bestow and bequeath our numerous valuable qualities, as well as our idiosyncrasies, upon our worthy and devoted lower classmen in this, our last will and testament. We give and bequeath freely and without reservations, to the Junior Class, our self-satisfac¬ tion, our importance, and our wisdom, all of which we possess in enormous qualities, also we leave the Juniors our good luck, which has made us what we are today. In addition to this, we leave all our privileges and rights as Seniors, as well as any note¬ books, pencils, unfinished business, or unfinished lollypops. To our friends, the Sophomores, we leave our patience, which will be found useful as the only means by which they can endure the Juniors. To the young and unsophisticated Freshmen and Eighth Graders, we leave a map of the school building, and include our book How to Tell the Teachers,” which they may find very helpful in the future. To our dear beloved school building itself, we leave the peaceful quiet caused by our ab¬ sence, and any apple cores. Government notes, Allen Dooley’s wads of chewing gum, and Helen Custer’s and Dollie Martin’s crumpled notes left behind. To our teachers and Mr. McKee, we bequeath our entire store of knowledge. From them it came, and to them it should be returned, that others may be benefited by it as we have been. To next year’s Class President, we leave, with grave doubts as to his ability to use it, the stentorian voice of our good president, Bobby Pollard. To the person needing it most, we give Karen Cox’s supply of language, which will enable him to talk more and say less than any other human alive. To the undergraduate who is in danger of not passing, we bequeath Jackie Overstreet’s and Thelbert Foster’s store of information, which will make it easy for any student to pass any test in any subject any time. To the over-ambitious undergraduate, if such there be, we leave the perfect indolence o f Algie Lam and Ed Garrett. Some people sit and waste time, but not these two, they never waste a minute. To the laziest member of the Senior-class-to-be, we leave Dorothy Luck’s ambition. Moments to Remember” are left by Carol Miller and Betty Holland. Betty leaves with big dreams of lots of little teddy-bears. Janice Kirkwood and Claudine Bramlett leave their slender figures to those who have tried all reducing pills, without results. To ports unknown, go Elmadine Dooley and Kathleen Kirk, leaving everything behind but their sailors. Marie Shepherd and Joyce Cook gladly leave their many jobs and positions at dear ole Montvale for someone else to cope with. That ever-ready smile of Beverly Parker’s is left for all seniors who won’t have the energy to smile after all of the Senior activities. Elsie Rose bequeaths her position as Head Cheerleader to Edna Vaughan. Good Luck, Edna. Dorothy Orange’s shyness, a rare virtue, is left to Nancy Nestor. Besides these bequeaths, we, the Seniors, leave our best wishes to any and all who may desire them. Signed, sealed, published and declared as and for our last will and testament by the Senior Class of nineteen hundred and fifty six.
