CLASS WILL We, the graduating class of 1952, in the studying of our high school days, naturally have accumulated various and valuable possessions. We have acquired a vast store of knowledge, and a great skill in athletics. Therefore, we are burdened with these possessions and think it fitting to dispose of them. We realize that the school as a whole will be at a great disadvantage if we take all of our priceless possessions as well as ourselves. We therefore, make this our last will and testament to dispose of our possessions that we have acquired in the last 12 years in the way we know best, and make fitting bequests to those worthy and needy. We leave to the Junior Class our seats in the Senior Room and the lunchroom. To the Sophomores we leave our culture and disciplined ways.
