Our Will And Testament We, the class of 1957, being of a generous nature, do hereby bequeath to our underclassmen our most valued of earthly possessions. I, Lyle Barron, will my sex appeal (what little I have) to Charles Thacher because he could use some. I, Wilma Bean, will my voice to Carolyn Henry who is trying. I, John Bey, will my stolen supplies to Lynn Phelan because no one would be able to take art next year if I didn't. I, Jim Burdett, will my height to Eddie Phillips, who just doesn't look right the way he is. I, Douglas Burdick, will the Cadillac to Freddy Olin because it's a lot better than the Chevy he's driving now! I, Jeanette Burdick, will my farm to Alise Ogden who really doesn't really need it. I, Soupy Campbell, will my trips to Hornell to Dick Goodwin because he is trying but needs a push. I, Joyce Clair, will nothing to nobody because I'm going to keep it all for myself. I, Francis Clancy, will my shortness to Mr. Schmidt, just because. I, Margaret Clancy, will my talkativeness to Nancy Cliquennoi who really doesn't need it. I, Lona Crooks, will the photography to some poor Junior. I, Keith Doty, will my hair to George Ormsby who is desperate. I, Jim Dunn, will my job as Lindy's pet to Ken Mc- Intosh because he has to be some teachers pet. I, Sidney Easton, will my ability to whiz through American Observer tests to Alvaro Leon because he needs it. I, Dolores Farley, will my history talents to Bev Allen because she sure could use them. I, Virginia Gillette, will one of my nicknames to George Miller because he fits it better than I. I, Dennis Habern, will my bashfulness to Kay Biehl because she really doesn't need it. I, Ruby Hill, will my trouble in the art room to Jane Reynolds because she is always fooling around. I, Harry Hurd, will my muscles to Roger Washburn who really needs them. I, Beth Jacox, will my nonsense to Alise Ogden just because. I, Merle Kame, will with Lyle Barron my sex appeal to Charles Thacher who after he receives it will have enough to get by with. I, Sharon Mason, will John to Company D. who needs him more. I, Pat Mensinger, scatter my brains to the Jr. Class who are scatter brains. I, Annjie Mitchell, will my ability to drog out of bed at 6:00 A.M. to any Junior who thinks history is worth it. I, David Mott, will my wrestling ability (?) to Doug Davis because I can't take it with me and I don't need it anyway. I, Shirley Nye, will my romantic life to Joanne Mc- Michael because after August I won't need it. I, Eleanor Ormsby, being the last of the Ormsbys, happily leave AA. I, Gene Phillips, will my first name to any girl interested in going to a boy's school. I, Betty Pierce, will my shortness to Nancy Stopper. I, Andrea Rawady, will my store to no one because I want to keep it. I, Larry Ryan, will my spot on the bench to some poor sophomore who thinks it's an honor. I, Oteal Saltzer, will my gum to Mrs. Van Hall who looks like she might want some. I, Eddie Shaw, will my Hornell contacts to Benny Reynolds. He has been trying so long. I, Bob Sherman, will my long hair to Victor because his is blinding Mrs. Schlick. I, Linda Smith, will my saying Ayah to Ken Mc- Intosh because he really says it better anyway. I, Sally Smith, will my Studebaker to Johnny Herd- man who collects all kinds of junk. I, Kay Snyder, will my business ability in F.H.A. to Mary Spaine because she has trouble keeping her % records in order. I, Ronnie Stockweathcr, will my car to General Motors for experimental and research purposes. I, Jane Thacher, will my daydreaming to Bev Allen, because she has a good start already. I, Jean Thomas, will my temper to Francis Phillips. I, Marjie Tucker, will my snake charm to Donna Burdett who has charm but it's not snake. I, Don Van Duser, will my running ability to Fred Rawe. He is going to be the future cross-country star. I, Kay Van Hall, will my night life to posterity. I, Phyllis Wightmon, leave Betsey Samuelson my French ability because combined efforts might get her through. I, Raymond Wilson, leave Company D to anyone who will take it. In Witness Whereof, we have hereunto set our hand to this, our Last Will and Testament, this twentieth day of June in the year of our Lord, ninteen hundred and fifty-seven ! 24 CLASS OF 1957
