Senior Class Will We, the Senior Class of '46, of Central High School, East Grand Forks, Minn., being of sound mind and memory, do make, publish and ordain to the juniors, this, our last will and testament. Eunice Babcock, after considerable debating, has decided to leave to Mae Eastman a very im- Eortant manuscript, How to Attract the Opposite Sex in One Easy Lesson. Not that you need it, horty. - In taking inventory, Bill Taxi Braden found that since he had an over abundant supply of personality and wit, he could easily toss a portion of it over to Eugene Mattson, Kenny Wolff and Bill Skoczylas. Don't fight over it, boys, there's plenty! JoAnn Giese will hereafter be the proud possessor of Mary Ann Hoye's quiet and Hubba- Hubba ways. Guaranteed to work, JoAnn! Ernest' Straus gallantly relinquishes to Douglas Hiney his never-failing ways of intriguing child- ren. He won't need it in the army anyway. We finally convinced DeLores Brinkman that she had more than enough sparkling athletic ability so she decided to bequeath a good share of it to Rita Larson and Marian Jenson. Use it, girls! Geraldine Bushee bestows upon lnez McDonald her sincere co-operativeness, along with her shyness and modesty. Clifford Mesedahl, Robert Sandlie and Bill Rand will be glad to hear that they are about to receive from Harvey the Hunk Christianson his executive airs plus a bit of his extra unneeded brawn. Lois Brains Egeland wholeheartedly offers to Audrey Larson her undying ability to get along with the teachers and a short pamphlet on How to Cause a Riot by Chewing Gum. ln a generous mood, Ronald Erickson bequeaths to Burrell 'Basgaard a few pointers on how to pass bookkeeping by winking at the teacher. I wouldn't take it too seriously, Burrell, might get you in trouble! Betty Nelson leaves her social airs and clever ideas to Carole Stuhr knowing that Carole will keep them from getting rusty. Betty Hauser, it seems, has decided to settle down and grants to Bernice McCullough all her hilarious ways in addition to a bit of her art ability. Barbara Jacobs unselfishly grants to Dorothy Harney all her tact, wit, and ability to charge! All his persuasive manner, George Stewart leaves to Freddie Kain, who at the same time will receive George's secret on how to make unnecessary remarks in problems class and still get along with Miss Reeves. Richard Kerr finally decided to part with his curling iron and pass it on to Alfred Torgerson. Richard also has an excellent system for receiving demerits. You might try to learn the formula, lfred. Shirley Hanson wills to Margaret Wurden her feminine ways and to all the juniors all the luck and happiness she's had as a senior. Junior Eid receives from Richard Keller all his deceiving but breathtaking manner in the pres- ence of women. He always gets results, Junior! Ruth Fleming leaves to Clarice Hotvedt the whole of her dramatic ability hoping that Clarice will use it well. You do that, Clarice! X Rose Marie Fillion is parting with some of her sunshiny disposition and gladly radiates it upon Marcella Schmidt, Marlene Zipoy and Myrtle Torgerson. Lois Giese and Alyce Schmaltz are the lucky benefactors not only of Bernice Fillion's athletic ability but also of her! ability to keep quiet in the halls! His will to do and do well, Morris Johnson generously gives to Frank Scheibel, and thrown in on the side is Morrie's fine attitude of co-operation. Something to take advantage of, Frank! Shirley Krenelka gladly gives her secret of keeping that beautiful hair wavey to Al Maloney. Lucky boy, Alfred! We finally persuaded Gladys Piker to extend some of her Arthur Murray dancing techniques over to Gene Fassett. LeRoy Stavig bequeaths to Orrin Hannawalt his cute and flirtatious ways besides the knack for curling his bangs ! Generous soul! J 072.

Eileen and Ellen Vavrina have decided to reconcile their differences and therefore pass all their criticisms for each other on to Maxine Sheppard and Donna Young. This - besides their beauti- ful harmonizing ability! Don't let this break up your friendship, girls!!! Harriet Ritter receives from Aldyene Larson her amazing imagination. That studious look and ability to study long hours, Bev Quern graciously hands over to Lois Cleveland. Bev was also thinking of throwing in her own version of how to flirt while dancing but then decided she might need it herself. Avis Knutson is deciding to let go of the halo and the angelic look and shoots it over to JoAnn Mclsaac. JoAnn also will receive Avis's extreme love for shiny automobiles. Gladyce Johnson and Helen Kozel will jump for joy when they hear that Lenore Bateman has given up her well-developed art of self-expression along with her ability to intrigue men with a Southern accent. Mah! Mah! Carol Thompson believes, after several weeks of chemical experimentation, that she has finally hit upon a formula guaranteed to release a given amount of heat - provided the necessary charm is added to complete the reaction. This she hands over to Shirley Osmundson. Arnold Tiny Thompson says he would gladly give Doris Wehe his head of curly hair but that he expects in return a few of Doris's muscles. ls it a deal, Doris? Always on time, Dolores Buckner hands over her habits of punctuality all wrapped up in a lock of her golden hair to Gloria Mankie! Accentuate the positive and what have you got? Melvin Buzz Tabert positively giving full rights to his junior girl friend to none other than-well, natch-Joe Massee! Now, eliminate the negative - and - what do you know! Pat Mclsaac decided that the way to a man's heart isn't through his stomach after all - she's found a new way - so she's giving all her fudge-making abilities and cook-books to - that's right -- Joyce Bridgeford. Margaret Wolff is giving her shyness and lovely looks to two girls whom she knows will treat neither of them with any roughness-Harriet Stordahl and Mary Ann Wiertzema. Dorothy Pender is tired of looking down on everyone and is hereby bestowing upon Phyllis Hodge and Alva Olson only a couple inches of her height. We musn't take advantage, you know. We finally convinced Elaine Paulson that she blushed enough for two people, so she's passing this and a portion of her sereneness over to Dona Ellenson. Her season ticket to the Legion dances, Blanche Stallmo drops behind, with all her good wishes, to Delores Krueger. Bonnie Severson sees a depression coming on and decided that the most helpful thing she could do for the juniors would be to give Jack Sampson a few pointers on how to sell candy in a dime store - things may come to the worst, Jack, and think of the advantages! Robert Jorgenson and Lawrence Kliner need never worry about auto accidents from this time on - for Arden Mesedahl is giving them his fairy godmother who has so tenderly watched over him while he drivesl?l his carl?l -- and without brakes, too. Amazing isn't it?l Ruth Miller bequeaths to Beverly Lee her naturally curly hair and her radiant smile. Marguerite Stinar dug into her trunk of virtues and found that about the only thing she could afford to part with was a corner of her weird sense of humor. So she dusted it off, oiled it up a bit and expressed it to Donna Gilbertson. Darleen O'Brien is leaving to JoAnne DeGagne a long list of her dental appointments so that JoAnne's classes will be somewhat relieved when next year rolls around. Dwayne Partlow decided against all his tyrannical theories and is giving Herman Skyberg com- plete claim to all his secrets on how to rule the roost and not bring home the bacon-guaranteed not to work. Donna Hawks thinks that Donald Paulson and Jack Carney are about due for a quick change over and so bravely gives each of the boys an equal amount of her grown-up ways and sophisti- cated airs! Ann Mero has turned heroine and gallantly turns all her good absence excuses over to Ardell Bestland in hopes that Ardell will make good use of them. All the rest and residue of our property we heartily extend to the Junior Class Advisor for their use and benefit, and to be disposed of for the good of the coming classes, as she may see fit. In witness whereof, We the Class of i946 set our hands and seal this twentieth day of June, Anno Domini, one thousand nine hundred and forty-six. 073s
