THOMAS JEFFERSON HIGH SCHOOL

WILL & TESTAMENT

 

 

 

 

Each day is a closed book of life, and the next brings another, beginning a new opportunity.  With this thought in mind, we come to the realization that our days here are few and numbered.  It is advisable that we, the Senior Class of Thomas Jefferson, make proper and final disposal of all the treasures and keepsakes we have accumulated and held dear the past four years.

We present this issue, in testament for consideration of all under classmates, this document.  To Wit: The Will

We, the proudest, most privileged and intelligent Senior Class of Thomas Jefferson High School, in the year of 1960, do hereby solemnly declare this ever important document to be our Last Will and Testament.

In this declaration we want it understood that all our teachers have done their very best to guide us and make us the proudest and most intelligent class to maneuver through these halls.

Item I

To each of our parents, we bequeath our deep gratitude for the opportunities of obtaining the best education.  If we have caused them hardships from our carelessness, we are deeply sorry.  We will forever be grateful for the effort on their part to guide us and keep us on the right path.  We offer thanks for everything and we shall always appreciate all they have done for us.

 

Item II

To the faculty, we bequeath our store of knowledge which each of them have given us to generously.

Through them we have learned much—that what you believe influences what you are, and what you are determines your value here.  Our years here at Thomas Jefferson High School have been very pleasant ones.  It has not been all humor and fun, but hard work, too, to gain the lasting knowledge.  They will carry their knowledge as they do a watch, not for display, but for their own use.

We truly appreciate the patience and understanding they have given each of us.

Item III

To our principal, we bequeath our sense of humor and the many memories of this proud class of ours.

The outstanding achievements of each and every one of this said class will be so great that the reflection will make him feel equally great and proud.  Just knowing that he was affiliated with our class will be a passport to his future success.

Item IV

To the office force and custodians, we ask you to accept our sincere apologies for any careless and thoughtless mischief that we may have caused in or about the building.  We have all taken part in many frivolous activities during our career, and we apologize for any trouble we may have caused you.

 

Item V

To the Junior Class, we bequeath the properties and articles which belonged to the Senior Class, such as the lamp of wisdom, the key to knowledge and success, and many other articles.

In leaving these precious articles, we sincerely hope you will treasure, guard, and protect them as we have, so that they may be passed down through the years to our underclassmen.

 

Item VI

We the Senior Class, now graduating, also bequeath to the Junior Class the rank of Seniors.  We have no further use for it.  We give you the right to wear our caps and gowns only with the warning that you hold your head high.

 

Item VII

Likewise, we bequeath the following gifts from individuals of our own class to the individuals of the forth-coming classes.

To next seasons baseball, football, and basketball teams, we bequeath our unbounded enthusiasm and though we may not be in the cheering section, you can bet we will be somewhere in the crowd rooting for you.  Remember always, it isn’t who won or lost, but how you play the game.  Good luck, and may the best team win.  Our team, of course.

 

Item IX:

Upon our leaving we bequeath the talent and success which has been ours to the many clubs societies which have done so well in the past four years.  We sincerely hope that some of our talent has brushed off on to some of the class of 1961, so that they will not be a complete failure.

We judge ourselves by what we are capable of doing, while others judge us by what we have already accomplished.

 

Item X:

  To all beneficiaries mentioned and to anyone else who may be interested in the welfare of this school we all hold dear, we bequeath a part of our stock of loyalty to our school, our community, state and nation.

  May our school ever continue to be of the highest standards and survive in spite of the calamities we have caused, and in spite of our solemn departure from its ranks.

  In closing, we appoint our beloved principal, Bernard U. Bolton, to the sole executor of this, our Last Will and Testament; and in our haste if we have left any trivial possessions behind, we ask him to place them with all our other memories and possessions to be disposed of as he sees fit.

  In witness thereof, we the Class of 1960, have set our hand and seal on this the 26th day of May in the year of 1960.
