It is our fervent hope and plea that none of our pos- terity Calias faculty and underclassmenj will doubt the legality or will ever find occasion to contest this document in which we duly distribute, to whomever will consider taking it, all our worldly and ethereal possessions.

PHOPI-IECY The next booth they came to was a complete ex- hibit of all essential necessities for efficient sec- retaries. Mary Knott happened to be on a vacation to revive her mind from her job as bookkeeper and stenographer of J. Edgar Hoover, F. B. I. Dolores Nichols who is still pretty as she was ten yeas ago, is now a private secretary for the president of the Marshall Fields Co., in Chicago. From her they learned that her ole gal friend is living at the edge of tovsm with a small family of two dogs and a cow, lplus one husbandl. Who? Why, Carol Jones, of course. In the next booth, there was a great variety of exhibitions. The first one they noticed 'was a sew- ing machine which Wylie Rose Lusk, owner of the Singer Sewing Co., had brought for display. Beside this was super-duper chocolate marshmallow sundae, as Goldie Marks now makes in her restaurant in Chicago. Does anyone need a new hair-do or beauty facial??'! If so, come in, for Betty Lou Jenkins has come to demonstrate on those that do, since she has her own beauty college in Cleveland. Gene Darbyshire also had displayed some television tubes, but he had to keep close watch on them to prevent them from bursting since he has been unable to find a method to prevent this while working at Sylvania Products Co. in Ottawa. County Health Booth revealed Darlene Bok as county health nurse. Tom Kaple had a display of food from his super market on North Main Street. Edna Mae Hermiller was giving a few pointers in salesmenship to pass- ersby. Her regular job is clering in the women's department at the Leader Store in Lima. As they were going home, they passed Dorothy Karcher's dance hall, where only people her own age may go. She serves orange pop as the strong- est drink. As they were leaving they also saw a billboard advertising the new picture Wendy's Last Love in which Ruth Basinger is starring. Did you see in your newspaper where Eleets Yram QMary Steele spelled backwardsj, now a famous poet, is touring the country giving lectures on How To Become a Poet in Ten Easy Lessons, and also where James Stechschulte's a photographer for Life Magazine. But he deals only with Models. That takes care of about all of our friends but you. We heard that you were still struggling to become a Seaman First Class by pushing a scrub brush. '- Don't lose your courage, you will make it. So long for now. Write soon. Three Jolly Classmates of '49 Monie Lou, Pat and Ethel

To the school we bequeath our composite class picture, our position on the bleachers during chapel and the magazines in study hall. Especially to Juniors we give our seats in civics, class. To the Sophmores we leave our coveted space in the east hall. Also to the Freshmen we leave a part of our love for our Alma Mater but the remainder, We are keeping. The Forty-Niners solemnly swear that all of this was written while we 'were under no duress and while we were in the best of school spirits.
