Our Last Will and Testament The class of 1957, being of sound mind, with a few notable exceptions does hereby dispose of numerous possessions and talents by legal action as follows: John Gallon wills his gold plated feet to Jimmie Porter so that he might have something worth walking on. Neil Ford wills his ability to sing like Elvis Presley to Keith Hull so he will get worse grades in music class. Jimmie Scott wills his pealed head to Jerry Cook so he'll have more face to wash. Leroy Joy wills his great silver plated brain to Kenneth Stanislaus, the Frenchman, so he can get worse grades. Lester Floyd wills his blue suede shoes to Max Payne so Carol Gammel can dance on thern. Charlene Tarter wills her long nose to Phyllis North so she can get into everyone's business. Dixie Robinson wills her ability to sing, to Naomi Scott and Judy Brinkley.

History of the Eighth Grade Class of 1957 Eight years ago eleven little tots entered the first grade at Benedict Grade School. Of that group only three have stayed with the group to graduate with the class of 1957. These three are Charlene Tarter, Lester Floyd, and Leroy Joy. Other graduates include Dixie Robinson who has been with us for seven years, Neil Ford who has been here five years, Jimmie Scott for three years and John Gallon for two years. During the eight years, fourteen other boys and girls became members of the class for a time. Gary Morton, Rodney Folger, Joyce Morrison, Linda Blancett, and Cloyde Shoaf were with us for seven years, Alfreda McCarty stayed four years, and Charlotte Nixion, Donald Cary, Perry Walkins, Micky Harmon, and Raymond Johnson each tarried only one year. Our class enrollment is seven. lt really wasn't necessary to name the members for not one of them has forgotten his name, not even his middle one. Our average age is thirteen years, our average height is 5lf2 feet, and our average weight is 100 pounds: We have attended grade school because we had to, to get out of work -at home, and to have a good time. The girls in the class are honorary members of the Royal Order of D'o Nothings, and the boys are charter members of the UnitedBrotherhood of Loafers. Charlene is boy crazy, Neil tries to sing like Elvis'P1'eS1ey. Leroy likes to tease Freddy Beck, and Lester prefers to tease Tweetie Pie, Jimmie thinks it would be fun to play softball with a thousand legged worm, John spends his time breaking the speed limit in his automobile, while Dixie's favorite pastime is chasing Lester all around Benedict.
