Class Will We, the Class of 1942. being in full possession of a supposedly sound mind and memory, do hereby publish this, our last will and testament, revoking and making void any former promises made by us at any time during our short stay with you. We make the following disposition of our priceless property. To the faculty members we leave our many undone homework assignments which have caused us so much trouble during high school years. To the Juniors, our unfortunate successors, we leave our high scholastic standing, our ability to be quiet in all classes, and our efficiency in planning ahead for all social affairs. To the Sophomores, we leave our courage and foresightedness, which has helped to make us an outstanding class. To the budding Freshmen, we leave our dignity and our valiant spirit, which has helped us to struggle through our high school years and to arrive at a glorious end. To our History Teacher, we leave our ability to speak loud enough in class, and always to do our homework. To the next Senior Advisor, Mrs. Haggerty leaves the patience to endure the change in her class from jolly Juniors to self-important and supposedly- sophisticated Seniors. Special Bequests To George Bennett. Warren Brundige bequeaths his collection of Veronica Lake pictures. “Herman” also requests that his pipe be reserved for the star of next year’s Senior play.

Marcella Murphy leaves to the Junior Class her philosophy of life (in school) Don’t do today what yon can do tomorrow.” Leona Dupree presents her title of Class Chatterbox to Joan Schrader and that of Best Looking Senior to Shirley Follett. Nice going, girls. To Lois Curtin, Betty Willetts leaves her dark walk home. Don’t be afraid of the spooks, Lois!
