Nicholas Matt, he of the dancing feet, gives to Richard Kerr and Ernest Strauss, as much of his meek and shy personality as they wont. Don't be greedy now, boys! Alyce Corriveau and Myrtle Gangelhoff take what they were willed last year lnew techniques, guaranteed to carry them on to greater conquestsi, and in turn will these safe-guarded secrets to Avis Knutson and Shirley Krenelka. We never did find out from the girls just what they were, or if they worked, so- Roy Zombie Surprenant leaves to Dwayne Partlow and Harold Spriggs some of that basketball ability, plus ten lessons from Madame LaZonga. As on added attrac- tion, Roy leaves behind some of his flowing locks. None of which these boys can possibly do without! ' Jim Betty Grable Stewart leaves his worldly sophis- ticated air, his debonair and metropolitan manner to David Hedin and Tiny Thompson. And, oh yes, we must- n't forget those legs of his-which certainly do not grow on tea-tables lSo he soysll. Well, anyway, there's noth- ing cheap about Stew. Don Little Chief White Feather Wavra leaves his tomahawk and bow and arrow to Ronnie Erickson. And how about the Casanova approach? Merlin Mouse Abel leaves to luckyl?l Merriam Erickson his appeal and irresistibleness to older women. College age, perhaps? Bob Irish McGarry, leaves his long curling eyelashes and Ann Mero, Lois Cleveland, etc., etc., to Harvey Chris- tianson and Georgie Stewart. How to Win Success in a Grocery Store is what Kathryn Schmaltz gives to bewildered Gladys Piker. And l don't mean by the old sales talk, either. Or do I? And now we come to Delores Tub Bain, who decided she has a superabundance of that swell personality, so decided to give - Helen Gust is on the receiving end. And-Tub really must be in a generous mood-that fas- cinating ability to find strange, good-looking distant cousins, in equally distant towns. Could be Bemidji! Morna Nokelby drops her fallen conquests and ability to flirt successfully in a classroom to Barbara Charge! Jacobs. And that line of hers- I think you're so cute! Really you're just a regular dream boy. May l borrow a sheet of paper, please? Darlyne The Little One Wehe, leaves her You talk big for your size expression to Delores Brinkman. Peewee uses her tongue instead of her brown. Works, too. Norman Anderson leaves his innocence, his ministerial manner, and his wide-eyed delight in life to Doc Hedin. Not that he thinks Doc needs it! Oh, no! Virginia Snyder, complaining about all the short people in this school, has decided to give a few inches of her height and distribute them evenly between Bernice Fillion and Aldyene Larson. And how about your masterpiece, Bluebirds in My Belfry, Swingshift? Lillian Holub and Vana Winger, the ultra-sophisticates of the senior class, leave all this and their poise, and grown-up ways to Pot Mclsaac and Betty Nelson. lt isn't that they want to be catty, either. Gordon Olson, the wolf of Miss Halcrow's classes, leaves the ability to get himself kicked out of class-but gently -to Donald lmsdahl. lsn't it funny the way Gordon changed? Ethel Gorman, she of the sweet personality, bequeaths to Geraldine Hagen her ever-cheerful smile and good nature. Now who could ever get along without that! Ray Stocker leaves his thick, curly hair to Dody Buck- ner, who Ray thinks needs it. Also a few instructions on the upkeep of it and lessons on how to put it up success- fully with both bobby pins and. curlers. Rosemarie Warmbo leaves to Rose Fillion her love for bookkeeping classes. Now, l wonder why Rosie liked bookkeeping so much? lt couldn't be Miss Halcrow! And here comes Ruth Lily Pans Larson, warbling as sweet as o canary. And who is the lucky benefactor of this extravagant gift? None other than Corrine Falconer. And if anyone ever mistakes your singing for a cry for help, Corrine, just place the blame on Ruth. Loretta Goodrich and Clarine Cleveland leave their exceptional art ability to Lenore Bateman and Ruth Flem- ing. Their pointers on art can hardly go unnoticed!! Now, in the waltz-me-around-again-Willie class, we have Delores Jacobson, Agnes Kozel, Angela Vonasek, and Gladys Olson. The solid chicks of the famed Tabor Dance Palace leave their hepcat abilities lbut definitelyl to Donna Coulter, Geraldine Bushee, Ruth Miller and Elaine Paulson. Maybe this will raise box-office receipts at said pavilion!!! Bob McWalter doesn't ever want his Bing Crosby sport shirts ever to die out! Oh no! So who gets them all? Arden Mesdahl. We can't leave out sisterly love so here it is in the form of Maybelle Ralston. Maybelle leaves this strong antidote to Bev Quern. How to get along with these strange creatures is demonstrated by Maybelle in three easy lessons. Helen Tweten is the Elsa Maxwell of the senior class, and wants you juniors to benefit so she's giving to Mary Ann Hoye. Helen's parties are the talk of the town. She knows all party funfesters from Music Chair to Fruit Basket Upset. My, my! g Tommy Danielson's color scheme is another talk of the town. That hat of his brings out all the beautiful har- mony of colors. So Tommy's letting out the secret to Darlyne O'Brien and Ann Severson. Only, please, girls, have mercy! Glenn McCullough leaves his astounding ability to lead through thick and thin to LeRoy Stavig. Heading the junior prom lost year and this year the senior class, Glenn is really THE mon! The lawyer ceased talking, he took off his glasses, folded his papers, picked up his brief case and silently left the room. The seniors leisurely unfolded themselves from their chairs, gave one farewell nod to the juniors, and followed through the open door. While the juniors just gazed starry-eyed into space, enchanted - medi- tating - dwelling in thought upon their rich inheritance. . MARY RUICH. 0530

Class Will 'Twas the day before commencement and all through the court Not a creature was stirring, not one of a sort. The will was laid on the desk with care, In hopes that the juniors soon would be there. The seniors were reclining all snug in their chairs, Glad that freedom soon would be theirs. When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, They sprang from their chairs to see what was the matter. Away to the door they flew like a flash, ' Tore open the lock and threw up the latch, When what to their wondering eyes should appear But fifty-one juniors all ready to hear. As they all sat down, and were squirming around, ln came the lawyer, it seemed with a bound. He was dressed all in black, from head to foot, And his clothes were all covered with ink stains to boot. A bundle of paper he had flung on his back, He looked like a vagabond carrying his pack. His eyes, how they glared! His ears how they quiveredl His cheeks were like ashes, his nose, 'twas like severed. His cruel little mouth was drawn up like a sack, And his moustache-it dangled, both limp and slack. He was thin and scrawny, a right scary old elf, But they laughed when they saw him, so sure of himself. A glare of his eye, and a twist of his head, Soon gave them to know there was everything to dread. He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work, He picked up his papers and turned with a jerk, Adjusted his glasses, got on with his work- We, the class of l94'5, from the Central High School in East Grand Forks, Minnesota, do hereby leave and ordain this will and document to you, the juniors, hoping you will use all the benefits and gifts, we do bestow upon you. Ralph The Bold and Ray The Bashful Larson, leave two very important manuals to Ellen and Eileen Vavrina. Ralph leaves to Eileen How to Attract the Opposite Sex Through Boldness, and Ray leaves to Ellen, How to Attract the Opposite Sex Through Bashfulness. We hope the girls will make use of these - not that they need to, but since there's a manpower shortage, they might as well be prepared - just in case. Margaret Wolfe and Blanche Stalmo receive nothing less than Delores T-Bone Hausauer's athletic ability. Maybe to Mrs. Graves' immense relief, huh? John Keller, after much persuasion, finally decided generously to bestow upon Richard Keller, part of his brain cells, and the ability to get A in deportment. Sweet of him, isn't it, Richard? Doris Palya leaves to Ann Mero, Harold Spriggs. At long last, hmm, Ann? Charles Honest John DeMilIe Larson, finally suc- cumbed and very' generously gives LeRoy Stavig some of that well-known honesty, some of that exceptional play writing, and - the ability ta talk himself out of a rut, in school. Emily Gust leaves to lucky Eunice Babcock a large- sized portion of her bashfulness, that Emily thinks she can do without. How about Emily's bowling ability, too? Edward Butch Sjolinder, unrestrainedly leaves to Morris Johnson, a medium sized portion of brain cells and a few pointers on how to make girls swoon. Lucky boys! Bev Stuhr and Doris Palya, in a very generous mood, give to Shirley Hanson and Betty Hauser, their wisdom and experience in the field of literature and newspaper work. Think you can use it, girls? After having just come out of a huddle, Mary Ann Knute and Mary Ruich have decided to let loose their frantic hold of The Essentials on How to Keep a Smooth Friendship, and give it to Carol Thompson and Lois Ege- land. After all, they should know! 52'
