To the student body we bequeath our extraordinary intelligent capacity for learning, and our inimitable energy in all our activities. Now lest you may feel slighted, we do most solemnly bequeath to you all our textbooks, our examinations, our rulers, our erasers and our pencils. On the class of 1949 we bestow all our good habits, studiousness, alertness, graciousness, and pleasantness with a kindly warning that they who will follow these faithfully will attain and enjoy success. To the Sophomores, we do leave our exquisite charm, our excellent poise and ravishing beauty that they may live up to the reputation of the class of 48 . To the Freshmen we do send our solemn dignity in order to help them over- come their baby ways.
