32 C L A S S W I L L We the class of 1945, in ten individual and distinct parts, being about to pass out of this sphere of education, in full possession of a crammed mind, well trained memory, and almost superhuman understanding, do make and publish this, our last will and testament, hereby revoking and making void all former wills or promises by us at any time heretofore made, or mayhap, carelessly spoken, one to the other, as the thought- less wish of an idle hour. And first we do direct that our funeral services shall be conducted by our friends and well-wishers, our guardians for so long, only asking, as the last injunction of the dying, that the funeral be carried on with all the dignity and pomp that our worth, our merit, our attainments, and our positions as Seniors of 'grave and reverend mien,' must certainly have deserved. As to such estate as it has pleased the Fates and our own strong hands and brains to win for us, we do dispose of the same as follows: We give and bequeath to the dear faculty, who have been our instructors in all the wisdom of the ages, a sweet and unbroken succession of restful nights and peaceful dreams. No longer need they lie awake through the long watches of the night to worry over the uncertainty of whether this one is doing her night work, or that one will have his mathematics in the morning class, or the other one will remember every iron-clad rule of compositional techinque in the preparation of her essay. It has been a hard strain on them, for Seniors are said to be at all times and under all conditions difficult to manage. But they have all done their duty, and verily, now they shall have their well- earned reward. To the class of 1946, we bequeath our humor, intelligence, and seats in the assembly. To the sophmores we leave any stub of pencil, scraps of paper, wade of gum, and any additional knowledge we have failed to obtain from our drivers educational course, here by hoping they will use it to the best of there ability.

51 We participated in the Junior-Senior Ball, Band, Forensics, and Athletics with a good deal of interest. Last fall we returned to Unity H1 again to finish our last year of school. Eva Jean Lang failed to return and Robert Ewert left shortly. We elected as our Class President, Wayne Salterg Vice President, Orville Van Sleetg and Secretary and Treasurer, Mable Schultz. In November Edward Mews left us to enter the services of Uncle Sam. In the spring we gave our Class Play entitled 'Motner- in-Law Blues under the direction of Mr. Swan our Class advisor. We gave our Prom May 4, 1945. Both proved to be a great success.
