19 Claijtonian 52 Senior Class Will We. the Seniors of Clav City Community High School, being unsound in the cerebrum and fallible in judgement, realizing that our school days of 1952 are about to be terminated, declare this to be our last will and testament. To the Board of Education, we leave our deepest gratitude. To the Faculty, we leave our sincere appreciation and our condolences for the years to come. To Mr. Shafer, w'e leave the desire that future classes will be more diligent and more courteous. To Miss Striegel and Mr. Reichman, we leave the wish that students will be more co-operative in the future. To the remaining classes, we leave the hope that they will enjoy their school days as much as we have. And now these individuals wish to leave their various characteristics to the designated students. Carrol Baker leaves a package of gum for Mr. Bissey to distribute among the members of the next chemistry class. Ruth Bateman bequeaths her general business book to Bob Mc-Grew, as it now fits his head perfectly. Erma Bayler wills her quietness to Virginia Snell. George Bissey leaves to Jim Mading his knack for delivering impromptu speeches to teachers. Bob Boxell wishes to endow his changeable voice upon anyone who desires to be an impersonator. Claude Dasch bequeaths his “curly” hair to Zane Moseley. Merlin Dasch leaves his unconcerned “expression” to Delbert Payne. Bobby Daubs wills his accomplishment — reading an entire paragraph in one breath — to Bill Ervin. Marilyn Erwin leaves a fondness for the color red to Marilyn Patridge. Catherine Gibbs leaves her “love” for Health and Safety, as she would have happily departed from it soon. Jim Gill bequeaths his position as President of F.F.A. to the one who is the most capable of obtaining the most votes. Norma Gill leaves her ability to type seventy words a minute to anyone who thinks that they have “flying fingers”. Mary Ruth Henderson confers her hair style upon Delores Roe. Julia Hilderbrand leaves her place on the back row in English class to Jim Thomas. Bill Holcomb wills his and Carolyn’s reserved position by the front door to Lois and Shorty. Kenneth Hostettler leaves his slow and easy manner to Clifford Bailey. Joan Kessler bequeaths her artistic ability to Marilyn Gordon. Jim Knowles bestows his slow drawl upon Bob Hough. Fred Kuenstler leaves his good grades to the remaining Kuenstlers, so that the family tradition will be carried on.
