THE SENIOR CLASS WILL We, the class of 1947, in the Town of Stayton, the County of Marion, and the State of Oregon, being in as good mental condition as usual, and in much better temper than usual, do hereby make this, our last will and testament, rendering void and of no avail any former will or wills, that may have been previously made by us in a period of tem- porary optimism. We realize that when we have passed on into our separate destinies there are many things that we must leave behind, as we cannot take them with us. . A Therefore, in this manner we do dispose of our posses- sions. To the Junior Class, soon to be seniors, we leave our text books, desks and teachers. Use them well, and pass them on to the next class in as good condition as you re- ceived them. Also, to the Junior class we leave our dig- nity, ambition, and above all, our wisdom. The latter gifts, we hope, will help to overcome their present inertia. To the Sophmores, next years' juniors we leave our quiet manner in class, a profound sense of humor, and our patience, without which they could not possibly get along with the seniors. To the Freshmen who entered this school untried and ten- der, and who, in a few months will have become sophomores, heartless and cruel in freshman initiation, we leave our old test papers. Since they have come thus far alone, and shown such astonishing good sense, we will help them the rest of the way. We give them fair warning, however, that some of the answers may be wrong. To the Freshman class of the coming year we leave four long years of school, also, a map of the school building, so that they will not get lost and roam about in everyonevs way looking for classrooms. We include with this map a pam- phlet entitled, nHow to Tell Teachers.n The legatees will notice this book is not Nwhatu to tell teachers, but nhowu. It contains specific information abont which teachers can be bluffed, which are easy and which are hard to please, and those whom it is impossible to please. It tells who your favorite authors must be to stand well with the English teach er, which history teacher is especially fond of Napoleon, and what questions to ask to make the science teacher forget the lesson and be interesting. To our janitor, who has served us faithfully through- out the years, we leave any bits of paper, pieces of gum, candy bar wrappers, scuff-marks on the walls, and finger-

'I I SENIOR CLASS WILL-CONTINUED prints on the windows. Also, we leave broken blinds, win- dows, and desks, to have and to fix as memories of this Senior Class. To our dear teachers we leave our sincere gratitude and our best regards for their unfailing kindness and aid. Also, we leave a bound pamphlet containing the papers which have 1 on them. We realize that this is a very small book, but we hope it will nevertheless afford them much pleasure and satisfaction. To Mr. Ayres, our principal, we give and bequeath a' sense of relief that we have at last graduated. To our school building, itself, we leave a quiet and peaceful atmosphere which it hasn't known for the last four years. The smaller and individual bequeaths are as followsg I, Delores Archambeau, will my high I. Q- to some fresh- man who is doubtful of progress without it. I, Glenn Archibald, will my ability to read fast, pro- nouncing each word,to Johnny Lynch. I, Lois Blum, will my long hair to Kenneth Boedigheimer. a I, Fon Brown, leave for Idaho. I, Stanley Brown, will my executive ability to next year's class president. I also leave my position on the Annual Staff to anyone who can stand the mental strain.
