Class Will We, the Class of ’32, in making our last Will and Testament, hope that in our four years as students of Paxton Community High School we have set an example that will be honored and followed by other students of our Home of Knowledge. It is the wish of every Senior that every activity such as the Student Council, the Athletic and Debate Teams, and Agriculture Contest have the whole-hearted support of every student. It is also our wish that the following tokens be taken in the way in which they were meant, for far be it from the plan of these dedications to make fun of or insult anyone.
