ad ' Will muL J dajrmt He, the seniors of Swan Quarter School, realizing we are about to leave our school, wish to read you our last will and testament which we recently drew up and duly signed. We decided in our meeting that it would be unfair and unjust to take away from this school all the glory and greatness that is ours. The school would indeed be bereft, deple¬ ted, castdown, dejected, crippled, and always handicapped if we did not leave behind some of our glorious possessions so it could continue to carry on the program in an excellent way. This vine has been growing only four years, but in that short time it has grown profusely and pro¬ duced abundant fruit. We make a special request that the student body cherish this Glory Vine in our memory. It is a genuine, original, and wonderful product of our class as a whole. We request that it be hung in a prominent place on the auditorium wall. Furthermore, we warn you, that if you do not revere and respect this Glory Vine, that our spirit will haunt you and pursue you for evermore. Vie wish to dispone of our Glory Vine in the following way: To our parents and friends who have stood by us in our years of trouble and strife as we climbed the ladder from one through twelve, we leave our best records. May our love and our devotion hold the highest standards in their hearts and memories. To the school as a whole we bequeath all our originality, person¬ ality, loyalty and patronage. To Mr. Hood and the faculty, who have toiled patiently with us, we bequeath the empty seats to be filled with our successors, and we trust they will measure up to our intelligence, dignity and beauty. To Mrs. Harris we bequeath our love and our devotion for her kind¬ ness, her patience and her everlasting interest as our senior advisor. To Mrs. Baum we will a more orderly, less giggly history class. To Mrs. Cann we bequeath a class who won ' t chew chewing gum. To Mr. Worrell we leave a class who won ' t worry him with staying in the shop. To the juniors we bequeath our very superior place as seniors to which all preceding classes look up to if you happen to be taller than they. We also leave to the said juniors the privileges, duty, responsi¬ bility and honor of continuing the production of the Quarterian. To the sophomores we will our excess Dignity and Grownup ways. We also give them our encouragement to stand by the faculty and friends through thick and thin.
