We, the Senior Class, being of sound mind and body, do hereby set forth this, our last will and testament, in the hope that our beneficiaries will be inspired to at least attempt to equal the record we have established as the finest class to graduate from Central High School.

Item II
        To Mr. Novak, Mr. Johnson, and the Classes of 1960, 61, and 62, we will that brand new school.
