llastwillanil 2 inment. To whom it may concern: We, the senior class of 1954, being of doubtful mentality and fiendish glee, wish to leave our possessions to the following recipients when we take our sorrowful departure to the moon: To the Classes as a whole Juniors-the challenging duty as seniors of setting a better example for ALL underclassmen than any of the preceding classes have done. ,Sophomores-a crystal ball to see where the money for the Junior-Senior Reception is coming from. Freshmen girls-a book, How to Get Boys to Dance at the Sophomore Prom. boys-a book, What to do When Trapped by a Girl at a Dance. Eighth Graders-old propeller beanies, bobby sox, six Johnny Ray records, a Chinese dragon net, and a beat-up textbook or two with which to enter Senior High. Seventh Graders-a flashlight, compass, and the joy of helping new seventh graders find their way around the Alma Nlater. To the Administration Superintendent Miller-180 more school days until the end of next year. Principal Laman-the good conduct of the class of 54.

Class Prophecy cof-me Janiece Rettig's iob is improving the new Biscuit Mix for New Brides, a boon to girls who can't even fry water. Beverly Neff is trying to talk her into a full page advertisement in the newspaper called M.0.0. N. lMany Opinions On Nothingl, because she is the advertising manager. Look at the salesmen comingl Jim Richards sells insurance to complaint de rtments in department stores. Carol Baehr is the head encyclo edia at the information desk in Grand Central Slfiztion. She works out her leave of absences as the chief salesgirll in the army-navy surplus store. Selling a special kind of aspirin called Atom- ic Pills to teachers during exam time is Bob Ehrensberger's iob. Tom Fox is expanding his family monopoly on popcorn sales from Cleveland Municipal Stadium through all the planets in the universe. As a sideline, he is instigating a new style in men's haircuts--bangs. We quote his reason: Bangs tend to reduce the high forehead of slightly bald men. However, for the men who are more than half bald, I have yet to find anything better than a wig . Uh-Ohl Don't sneeze or the whole ship will be quarantined for pillow-feathers-itis. That dignified group of girls you see approaching is the distinguished faculty of the Women's Medical College of Pennsylvania, and they are now experimenting with an antidote for moon-stroke. They are Wilma Steiger, Jo ce Taylor, Carol Schemel, Nlarlene Dull, and Rose Short who has finished helping me early, so that she would have plenty of time to board the ship. Here come two very imposing looking people. Bob Caldwell has good reason to look imposing. He is Pres- ident Eisenhower's personal dentist. The other is Ruth Keller who is going to the moon for the unveiling of the monument erected in her honor to be known thereafter as KelIer's Dam- LeRoy Benedict has changed his name to Thursday since he became Captain Friday's assistant. lDum-De- Dum-Dum.l On his days off he runs a fix-it shop on the Indianapolis Speedway. With him is Dick Weaver, a Navy man, who has an upholstery business in Davenport, Iowa. An unusual looking trio is approaching the ship now. In the lead is Bob Sponseller with one of his jet- powered sulkies that he intends to run in the national harness races at Yucca Flats. Next are Donna Haycook and Carol James who respectively supply Bob with Haycook's Hefty Harnesses and the asbestos horses for this sport, samples of which they are taking along. Paul Witter will have to stay within the speed limit on this trip to the moon, because Jerry Mowry and Jerome Wilson, who have been promoted to privates in the Skyway Patrol, will be on hand to see that he does. Four more businessmen ap ar on the scene. Fred Welge has been appointed to assume the role of official clock winder in Grand Centraligtation. Albert Stoltz is going to distribute important makes of foreign cars all over the universe. Bob Corfman drills holes in the green cheese that composes the moon, and sends samples to Earth via his model airplanes. Jack Keller is in the monkey business in the St. Louis Zoo--he teaches them to be elevator operators. , The last group of passengers are coming now, so Joanne Judd is going aboard to save me a seat. She is an assistant chop stick producer. Joyce Goff went with her, meanwhile still trying to back out frontwards. Jan Fowler who wants to be a traveling preacher, and Janet Shaffstall who is all set to run her advertising agency in Meteor City that will handle all the publicity for the Miss Moon-ite contests, get on the ship to- gether. Last of all, Peggy Rowland came running up. As she climbed on, I remembered that she is the first B.H.S. girls' football coach and that she raises little Wurms on the side. What do I do? Me write Chollie Chan stories for TV. As Confucius say, Chop-chop, Ling Foo, and Whoopeel Translated means, Mister Chan, You better run. 24
