Class Will Wc, the Senior Class of Falls City High School, of the year Nineteen Hundred and Thirty-two, do hereby make and devise, and proclaim to whom it may concern, that this is our last true will and testament. In view of the above fact we make the following bequests: First: To the succeeding classes of this school wc leave our exalted position, together with our sincerest wishes that they absorb, before leaving, a little more of the elusive substance called Knowledge” than this class did. Second: To the teachers of Falls City High School we leave our good will and best wishes, in view of their faithful attempts to teach us the first elements of the above mentioned knowledge. Because the foregoing bequests are but generalities, the members of this class wish to leave the following people their respective gifts, talents, habits, abilities, and idosyncrasies. Bob Greenwald leaves one broad smile and two of the nicest dimples in school to Miss Wakelin, in view of her appreciation of the former (the smile). Sonny Griffis” leaves to Bert King the privilege of picking a fight with every opposing center on the football teams of southeastern Nebraska. Marie Clark leaves to Marjorie Schock her private parking place back of the high chool. Evelyn Wiltse says she will give Margaret Clark her overgrown fiddle if Jean Young will furnish Miss Clark with a stepladder to use when playing it. Agnes Leo Rieger says that Richard Kratz can have her ability to be on the cast of any one act play given next year. Dorothy Sandrock has only the memory of a broken date to leave to Louis Godfirnon. Otto Huettner pauses long enough to bequeath to Garnet Gribble his shy and retiring manner. Glenn Wienert wills his physics ability to any deserving Sophomore who thinks he will need it next year. Oddly enough, Sara Eliza Hutchings has only a large box of upholstery tacks to leave to the next county commissioner’s daughter who enters Falls City High School. Theodore Culver, in a fit of generosity, wills his voice to Falls City High School, to be used in the future to bolster up weak cheering sections, choruses, glee clubs, or any other organization that lacks vocal energy. Wilber Roesch wills to Eddie Huettner his extremely witty and original repartee. Hazel Ruch leaves to Mary Davisson her knowledge of American History. Otto Ketter bequeaths to William Glenn the art of keeping a deep front wave in his hair. Jewell Hannaford leaves to Raymond Zuel a portion of her height, provided, of course, that Raymond uses it to good advantage. Robert Johnson wills to George Sandrock his vast store of uncracked wise cracks. William Wochncr and Ralph Steinbrink leave to future Commercial Law classes the ability to argue fifty minutes out of the period, and never settle an argument. Marguerite Nichols wills to Rosemary Barton her shorthand ability. Deloris Niemeyer leaves her knowledge of Industrial Geography to Mr. Starkebaum, to apportion out to the class next year. Guy Crook has only his Latin knowledge to will to Helen Rhoads.

Senior Class History We entered high school in the fall of ’28, green as all Freshmen. Early in the year we were initiated by the Sophomores and in April we returned with a party. Class officers were John Heiser, president; Agnes Leo Rieger, vice president, and Guy Crook, secretary and Treasurer. Miss Davis and Mr. Hatch were selected as our sponsors. As Sophomores, we taught the Freshmen a thing or two. We selected Agnes Leo Rieger, president; Bob Greenwald, vice president; and Marie Clark, secretary and treasurer. The class provided the floral decorations for the commencement exercises. As Juniors, we were sure the Seniors were jealous of our school spirit. There were sixty-eight of us to warm our teachers’ hearts. Class officers were Bud (Irving) Maust, president; Marie Clark, vice president; Agnes Leo Rieger, secretary, and Guy Crook, treasurer. Castle, Margrave, Griffis, Maust, Mosiman, Greenwald and Clark received football letters. Clark and Castle received basketball letters. The high school cheer leaders were Juniors, Agnes Leo and Fred Graham. Juniors supplied the bulk of the operetta cast, Pickles.” Donna Jean Eubank, Fred Graham, and Theodore Culver had leads. Agnes Leo was a solo dancer. Junior soloists to M. I. N. K. Contest were Evelyn Wiltse, Georgianna Brenner, Donna Jean Eubank, Fred Graham, Robert Wilson and Jean Young. We bought, as reminders of our high school days, class rings and pins. As a Junior play, we presented Tons of Money,” under the direction of Miss Leta Wakelin. On May 9 we gave the outgoing Seniors a farewell banquet at the Hotel Weaver. Of course, as Seniors we surpassed all expectations. We elected Fred Graham, president; Georgianna Brenner, vice president; Lucille Daniels, secretary, and Marie Clark, treasurer. Soon after this we elected Mae Brooks, editor-in-chief and Bud Maust, business manager, of the Orange and Black. The following Seniors received football letters; Clark, Castle, Mosiman, Griffis, Greenwald, Maust and Margrave. Basketball letters were received by Castle and Clark. The Senior soloists in the M. I. N. K. Contest were Evelyn Wiltse, Jean Young, Robert Wilson, Deloris Nicmeyer, Donna Jean Eubank, and Fred Graham. In the Commercial Contest, Lila Bonsai!, Marguerite Nichols, Ralph Steinbrink, and Robert Johnson entered in advanced shorthand. Lila Bonsall and Marguerite Nichols were also entered in advanced typing. Marie Clark, Evelyn Wiltse, and Jean Young were entered as novice typists. This is but a very brief sketch of our actual history. We feel that we owe our achievements to our sponsors, Miss Davis and Mr. Hatch, who have been so helpful during the past four years.—M. C.
