TESTAMENTUM CLASSIS We, the graduating class of Winooski High School for the year 1949, being of sound mind and good judgment, do hereby make, execute, publish, and declare this our last will and testament, in manner following, and do hereby, by these presents, revoke any and all wills made by us theretofore, indi- vidually or collectively, including any and all promises made without due deliberation or careful consideration. It is hereby decreed that any conflicting promises must be recorded as having been made without due delibera- tion or careful consideration, and hereby re- voked in accordance with this last will and testament made and executed on this 15th day of June 1949 A.D. Each article here described is bequeathed severally to the below mentioned individuals according to the terms of this will and testa- ment. We hereby declare all previous promises to pay wills or testaments made by the class as null and void. To the Sophomores we leave our tendency to make a little knowledge go a long way in the classroom, and our ability to throw fac- ulty members off the trail when they imag- ined we were bluffing. To the members of our beloved faculty, we look upon our demise with smiles of joy, we bequeath the satisfaction which comes from duties well performed, and a peaceful rest from the weary task of making our graduation shrouds. We also leave them a large amount of sympathy for their de- pressing attempts to pound knowledge into our craniums. To the school in general we leave the out- of-the-ways nooks where we have been ac- customed to hide. To the school library we leave the collec- tion of volumes setting forth the charms, the escapades, the achievements, and the startling knowledge gleaned from our examination paper. With our last parting breath we hereby appoint as sole administrator and executor of this will our Principal, Mr. Couture. In wit- ness whereof, we attach the signatures of the class of 1949.
