Ladies and Gentlemen, Board of Education, Superintendent, Teachers, and Friends: Upon behalf of my client, the CLASS OF 1949, of North Charleston High School, of the city ol North Charleston, State of South Carolina, U. S. A., I am spealting to you upon this solemn and serious occasion, urging you to listen to her last will and testament, and to receive from her dying hand the few gifts she has to bestow in her last moments. Listen. then. one and all, while I read the document, as duly drawn up and sworn to: We. the CLASS OF 1949, being about to pass out ol this sphere of Education, in full possession of a crammed mind, well-trained memory, and almost superhuman understanding. do malie and publish this, our last will and testament, hereby revolt- ing and malcing void all former wills or promises by us at any time here-to-fore made, or mayhap, carelessly spolcen, one to the other, as the thoughtless wish of an idle hour. We will and bequeath to the dear faculty, who have been our instructors in all the wisdom of the ages. a sweet and unbrolcen succession of restful nights and peaceful dreams, and all the amazing Imowledge and startling information that we have furnished them from time to time in our various examina- tion papers. We will and bequeath to the .Iunior class all such boys as were not able to Iceep pace with such brilliant girls as compose the majority of our class, trusting that the .Iunior girls may be able to hold firmly to them and steer them next year through the gates of Commencement, that they may not share in the humiliation that has been ours at not being able to hold our men lollcsn-'as the women of the world would put it. To the Sophomore class we leave two more years of lun and worry. To the Freshman class we will all the nice thoughts about high school which will soon be replaced by grim knowledge- unless, of course, they are a group of Einsteins. To the Sub-Freshman class we will the long years ahead and the worry of getting enough credits through the years to graduate. The following may seem but tritling bequests. but we hope they may be accepted, not as worthless things lavishly thrown away because we can no longer Iceep them, but as valuable assets to those who may receive them, and a continual reminder of the generosity of hearts displayed in our free and full bestowal.
