To the Junior Class, the dignity of the Senior Class. To the Sophomore Class, the insignificant place of the Juniors.

Weta Sledd leaves her long curls to any nice young lady who can use them. It’s a load off her mind. Sarah and Beulah Marshall leave some of the hair to any young lady who wishes to let hers grow. It may help her over the rough spots. We hereby constitute Mr. Clifton Karnes executor of our Last Will and Testament.
