ARTICLE I To the Juniors, we sophisticated seniors leave our dignity, good behavior, high scholastic achievements, and the art of never being late to classes. To the sophomore girls we bequeath an additional room surrounded with mirrorsso that they will be able to comb their hair without block- ing traffic in the locker room aisles between classes. To each of the sophomore boys we leave one pair of dark glasses so that they will not be able to notice the girls who forget to primp. To the green and inexperienced freshmen, we bequeath a year's sup- ply of spinach and lOO lbs. of fish so that they will be able to grow in strength and mental capacity as they step forward in their high school years. ARTICLE II To Mr Gerber, we will a gigantic ranch in Montana so that he will be able to retire in luxury and ride horses as his heart desires To Miss Housour, we leave permission to take a mid term vacation each vear so that her duties will not be quite so strenuous To Mr Rohrer, our class sponsor, we leave the class of nineteen hundred and forty nine, not so exceptional as we, but perhaps less boisterous We also bequeath our gratitude for his efficiency as our class sponsor and all the ardent work and time that he has given in helping us plan our activities Tb Mrs Pearl Miller, we bequeath one economy size bottle of Dink el nerve pills so that she will be able to continue the unending pati ence that she has shown us in Speech class this past year We also bequeath our appreciation for making it possible for our class play, 'Pride and Prejudicen, to be such a grand success To Mr Bushong we bequeath a new laboratory complete with unbreaka ble test tubes, two self lighting Bunsen burners, and a gas mask for each member of the class when experiments are being conducted with sul To Mrs Helena Miller and Mr Harness we bequeath a large new mu sic room complete with sound proof walls and a baby grand piano To Mrs Miller we also will new stage settings and ascending steps so that she will not find it so difficult to arrange the chorus To Mr Harne we bequeath our deepest sympathy for his loss of several of the band's most talented and gifted musicians To Mr Miller we bequeath one ton of Blooble's bubble gum so that he won't feel bad when all the rest of the class is chewing bubble gu and he doesn't have any to chew We also will our appreciation for the keen interest he has taken in our class and we know he has given us sev eral good hints on becoming successful citizens of tomorrow To mr Holdeman we bequeath our intelligence and brains in the hope that he will pass it on to his younger students who will certainly need every bit they can get as they grow older O .
