Mr Kenneth Roth coached th1s year's football team whmch won frfty per cent
of 1ts games It was a successful season cons1der1ng that no serrous 1nJur1es
were encountered. The fans can look forward to a drfferent style and type of
football next year. Changing from a heavy "tank type" defense to a fast, de
cept1ve offense should make for an excrtmg, hrgher scoring game

do hereby affix our sign and seal upon this, our last
will and testament.

but filled with helpful notes we leave to the Juniors
who now find themselves confronted with the trials of
their Senior year.
Item II. We leave to the Sophomores all the chalk,
rulers erasers and pencil stubs we have not already

years to come
Item Ill To Mr Graham we wish to leave a pleasant
remembrance of the Class of 1954
Item IV To the teachers we bequeath all that IS
good and beautiful not already taken by this Senior

in hope that he will continue his work as Janitor in
the new school
Item VI
Bernice Schraub wills her place on the honor roll to
