I, Charlene Smith, leave to Jane Stearns my textbook on How To Catch A Man. It's a good book, Jane. I, Albert Gebo, will my guns and fishpoles to Dick Torrey. Just for vacations! I, Elizabeth Bradley, bequeath my acting ability to Linda Bodette. I hope it will bring you as much fun as it brought me. I, Herb Beede, leave a list of excuses for skipping study hall to Juddy Evarts. I, Willy Douglas, gladly leave my formulas and solutions in Chemistry Class to Sue Benton. I, Nancy Murray, leave my ability to take shorthand at one hundred and twenty words per minute to Mary Clark. I, Raymonde Lafleche, leave my peppy ways to all somber Juniors. Chin up kids, it's your turn next year. I, Mary Ann Sauter, leave my pranksterous ways to Lois Devin. It cuts out some of the boredom. I, Mary McNulla, leave all those cold mornings on patrol to Joyce Anderson. You can borrow my raccoon coat anytime, Joyce.
