WILL We, the Senior Class of 1954, being the smallest class for the last few years, proving that the best of things come in small quantities, and being in full possession of, or in a state of somewhat sound mind, do hereby publish and declare this to be our last will and testament: To the Red Bud High School, we bequeath brilliant students who will wait their turn in line in the cafe- teria. To Mr. Harry, “You’ve got a nice clear voice, but I can’t hear you,” we bequeath students who will please return the scotch tape, staplers, and scissors to the office. To Mr. Adrian, “How do you like that idea,” Phegley, we bequeath students who read the daily news- papers and a Musketeer that will come out on time. To Mrs. Margaret, “Let’s see how much you weigh,” Phegley, we bequeath girls who do not hit the lights while playing volleyball and who can resist ice cream. To Miss Helen, “As Seniors, I expect you to--” and “Let’s have some music,” we bequeath students who can write essays and who won’t eat chocolate apples.
