ARTICLE III Section 1—To the oncoming Senior class we leave all books in the library and study hall complete with chains and padlocks to keep them from “walking away”. Section 2—For the certain few Sophomores we leave bibs at the drinking fountains to be used when they begin to “dribble” after a long drink. (If the shoe fits put it on).

We, thus, the Seniors of 1939 do attest and declare that we bequeath all rights and privileges of Seniors to the class of 1940, and say farewell to our Alma Mater. Page twenty-seven
