CVM. MA!! We, the graduating class of the Trafford High School, for the year 1949, being of sound mind and good judgment, do hereby make, execute, publish and declare this our last will and testa- ment, in manner following, and do individually and collectively, any and all former promises made without due deliberation or careful consid- eration. First, To Our Parents, who have made school life possible, we bequeath our life-long love and devotion. VVe realize that it has not always been an easy matter to keep us in school. Our parents. have denied themselves pleasures and often necessities of life in order that we might have educational advantages. We bequeath to our beloved parents our most sincere thanks for their timely assistance in times of trouble and distress, even though they did not always have the correct solutions to the problems in math. Second, To Our Faithful Teachers, we bequeath our heartfelt thanks for their patient guiding hands even though they were laid on a trifle heavy at times. No doubt, there have been times when they felt the results were not worth the effort and sometimes they may have even suspi- cioned that certain members of the class would never be able to make their grades. We owe much of our educational progress to their untir- ing efforts. Perhaps we have often been thought- less and careless, but in the years to come we will appreciate their efforts more and more. Third, To Our Kind Hearted Principal, we be- queath also our many thanks for his keen fore- sight and strength that enabled him to keep us close to the line even though we were wilfull and contrary at times. We bequeath him the plea- sure of guiding other classes safely through the school course to honorable graduation. Fourth, To The Honorable School Board, we be- queath best wishes and praise. They have given unstintingly of their time and judgment, and we honor them for their wisdom and splendid man- agement of the school affairs and trust they will feel that their efforts have not been all in vain. And individually we make the following re- quests: I, Richard Aglietti leave my ability to get up so early in the morning to Jean Capets. I, Paul Artman, leave my sarcastic laugh to Wanda Lenart.
