Senior Class Will During the school year of 1952-53 we witnessed the nomination, election, and inauguration of a new President of the United States and, the rising of the Republican Party into prominence. However, it seems to us that the Democrats, as a result of this great political year, were left with nothing. Therefore we, the Senior Class of 1953, considering the uncertainty of this mortal life and being of sound mind and doubtful memory, do hereby make our last will and testament in order that we may endow some of the treasures of our times to the coming senior class and to the school so as not to leave them empty-handed, as were the Democrats. First of all. we wish to leave the faculty the memories of our cunning ways, charming manners, sweet tempers, helpfulness, clever remarks, and eager, blank, or bored faces. To the custodians we leave two brand new, shiny water pails and new sponges with which to eraie the many locker notes, love letters, and suc . We do bequeath to the junior class, as a whole, the school grounds, on which they may drive cars, ride cows, or dig dandelions. Clyde Cook wills his draft papers to Billy Butterfield. CClyde doesn't want them.J Bette Larimer leaves her intelligence to Paul Westbrook to make sure he stays off the 'tin- eligible' list. To Mavis Bryceson, Darrell Bryceson leaves his unfinished English lessons. tHe just couldn't seem to get them.J Dean Gould leaves his booming voice to Mike Martin. ,Sondra Meinecke leaves her title of Home- coming Queen to some lucky junior girl. Bonnie Reiss bequeaths her half-filled short- hand notebook to Marjorie Riddle. To Carol Leslie, Marion Sullivan wills her sweet disposition and ability to organize and carry out Dlans. Jackie Dill leaves some poor junior the head- aches of editing a yearbook. Paul Green bequeaths all of his bookkeeping to Mrs. Housman. He feels that she knows more about it than he does. ' 'To Carol Green, Joanne Brown wills her ability to grit her teeth and smile when the ques- tion arises, HoW's the weather down there, Shorty?'l I Allan Schroeder CBig All wills his football jersey to John Adams in hopes that John will grow to fit it next year. Jean Hargis bequeaths her Physics book to Kenny Snider. She hopes that he will understand it better than she did. To Jack Porter and Bob Moffitt, Kathryn Tucker and Donas Starr leave their desks in Modern Problems. They are right across the aisle from each other and are placed perfectly for passing notes and whispering. Janice Ficken leaves her job as Head Majorette to Rosie Cook. Evelyn Harig leaves her red hair to Judy Hendrickson. Louis Meinecke bequeaths his seat on the players bus to .Bill Thierstein. Louis won't be using it anymore. Woody Oaks leaves to Jim Edwards Hum- phrey's empty gas tank in exchange for Jim's full one. fThank you, Jimlj Betty Penke wills her big smile to Virginia Borgman. To Mary Pittman, Laurice wishes to leave her Pep Club beanie. fContinued on page 405 Page 12 Senior Class Prophecy Here it is 1963 and I'm on my way across the U. S. in my jet-engined plane. You see, I'm a sales- man for the Rodger Dodger Rocket Company. I'm going to look up some of my old pals, 1953 graduates of College View high school. To be per- fectly honest with you, I'm rather curious to see what they've all done in these past years. My first stop is New York. My goodness! There's Amy Jo Shaw, and doesn't she look beauti- ful. She's a model now at Saks Fifth Avenue, and you'd never guess who owns Saks. It's none other than Dean Gould, and he's all decked out like Beau Brummel. Amy Jo tells me that Bonnie Reiss has become the first woman to fly a rocket alone to the moon. On her second trip she took Janice Ficken with her, and they have decided to set up a space academy for girls there. I stopped in at Harvard on my way through Boston. It seems that Louis Meinecke had a bit of trouble there last year. They weren't going to let him play basketball because he'd been attending school for ten years. But he finally convinced them that he couldn't help it if he could only take two subjects a year. The math professor at Harvard turned out to be Gaylord Duff, but I hardly rec- ognized him. He now has a long, white beard. Marion Sullivan and Jackie Dill are co-editors of a big newspaper in Los Angeles by the name of the Daily Dirt. Paul Green and B0b Flatien run the rival newspaper, The Weekly Wind. I had a long chat with them while I was staying in L. A. They told me that Darrell Bryceson owns a big cattle ranch in Texas, and his Chief Milker is Dwayne Selk. Marva Hendricks is the Chief Housekeeperf' They also told me about Clyde CCOk. I was so surprised when I found that he was on an island in the Atlantic and nobody had see him for ten years. It seems that he just couldn't stand Army life, and they wouldn't let him into the Navy. During my stay in Kansas City I noticed that Laurice Pike had just opened a brand new roller rink called the Bruises and Bumps Roller Rink, and I dropped in to see how it looked. Guess who was teaching the beginners the ropes? It was Donas Starr and Kathryn Tucker, who who also take care of all fractures and broken legs. As tiny as ever, Rh0da Schultz told me that she was modeling for teen-age dresses at the Tillie Toiler Teen Shop. Allan Schroeder is chief designer of clothes at the shop. You will find it located in Savannah, Georgia. By the way, while I was there I found that Joanne Brown is a happy and busy secretary sitting on her boss' knee. She's got a full time job, as W00dy Oaks is her boss during and after office hours. No trip would be complete without a visit to Lincoln. I found that Jean Hargis and Barbara Roth are teachers at good old College View high school. They liked it so well while they were there that they decided to come back. On my way through Washington, I stopped for a while to hear a soap box lecture that was going on in the middle of the boulevard. Who should it be but Martha Ramey, and she told me she was running to be the first woman president. Her campaign manager is S0ndra Meinecke. If anyone can win an election, they can! The plane ride from Washington was pretty tough. John Shore, who is my regular pilot, was CContinued on page 403
