The decisions as to the bene- ficiaries have been arrived at with unusual disturbance in the gray matter of the class and it is possible there are mistakes in the inventory of class assets, but such things as we have, we give hereby into your posses- sion. We, the class of 1957, being in full pos- session of crammed minds, do make and pub- lish thii, our last will and testament. First: we direct our funeral to be car- ried on with pomp ana ceremony which our at- tainments have desired. Second: We direct the following disposi- tion to be made of our estate. Item: We give and bequeath to the facul- ty our sympathy and strength, plus rest and peaceful dreams. To them again we bequeath all the amazing and startling information to the world, at their aiscrotion. Item: The following trifling bequests we trust will be accepted as valuable assets and as a continual reminder of our generosity. To the Junior Class wo will ana bequeath the candy key and our dignity and position in the High School, advice to w rk hard, cour- age to succeed.
