We the class of 1961, in twelve indi-
vidual and distinct parts, being about
to pass out of this sphere of education,
in full possession of a crammed mind,
well-trained memory, and almost super-
human understanding, do make and publish
this, our last will and testament.

brow pencil, and her sweet quiet manner
to Frances Krahl and Jo Ann Essler.

ing" ability to Dale Shelley.

family.
Tony Pollock leaves his will to learn

wink at girls to James Stallcup,
Ronnie Reed wills his height and ’his
duck tails to Doonie Brock and Joe Nowell.
Jimmy Owen leaves his athletic ability

thing to Billy Ellis, who doesn't care
about anything.

to work to Phillip Martin.
Brent Proffitt wills his fondness for
female companionship and all his 'fresh-
man girl friends to Sammy Williams and

plex to Joe Bledsoe and Chester Smith.

which was displayed in the One-Act Play
to Alice Brothers,
Fern Deen leaves her basketball abil-
ity and place on "the team to Patsy Smith,
Corine Petit, and Marie Walsh.

gor, and vitality to Billy Martin and
Carolyn Buerger.
Tommye Jane Mullis leaves her shyness
and quiet mouth to Sharon Wales and
Karen Jansen.
Judy Thurber leaves her perfect "36"
figure (12-12-12) to Lillian Huffman.
We bequeath to the dear faculty all
the amazing knowledge and startling in-
formation that we have furnished them
from time to time in our various exami-
nation papers. We trust they will make
use of all such bits of wisdom and en-
lightenment for the education of the
classes to come after us.
Besides these enforced gifts, we
leave—not of necessity, but out own free
will—our blessing, tender memories of
our pleasant associations together, and
our forgiveness for anything that we may
not have exactly appreciated in the de-
monstrations of the past, and a pledge
of friendship from henceforth and foreva".
All the rest and residue of our pro-
perty, whatsoever and wheresoever, of
what nature, kind and quality soever it
may be, and not herin before disposed of
after paying our debts, we give and be-
queath to our beloved Principal, for bo's
use and benefit absolutely, and to be
disposed of for the good of the cor.ung
classes as he may see fit.
In witness whereof, We, the Class of
1961, the testators, have to this our
will, bitten on one sheet of parchment,
set our hands and seal this twentieth
day of June, Anno Domini, one thousand
nine hundred and sixty-one.
