CLASS WILLS


 

We the Class of Forty-Six
This last will and testament do hereby fix,
Being of sound mind and lawful age,
Do hereby state on this printed page:

To the Faculty gay
We leave our youthful way,
To O.H.S. Hall
We leave our picture, frame and all.

To all our Junior friends and buddies
We leave our books and studies.
To the Sophomores we leave our knowledge
Hoping it will lead them to college.
To the Freshies who are mighty and small
We leave our vacant space in the hall.

Last, we the Class of '46,
as High School for us ends,
Are leaving our most treasured things
to all our unforgotten friends.
