SENIOR CLASS WILL Last Will and Testament TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: We, the Class of 1952, of Falls City, in the County of Richardson and State of Nebraska, considering the uncertainty of the world about us, and being of sound mind and memory, do make and publish this our last will and testament in the manner and form following, that is to say— First, we appoint R. W. Sympson of Falls City, Nebraska, as Executor of this our last will and testament and do empower him to divide all our personal and real estate property in the manner and form as follows. Second, we desire that all our just debts be paid providing there is enough money in the treasury to pay them — if not we wish that said debts be forgotten. Personally we bequeath as follows— To the Juniors we leave our throne of superiority through which we have so nobly taught the underclassmen how to respect the teachers. To the Sophomores we leave a wheelbarrow to carry their biology books around. To the Freshmen we gladly give the enjoyment of taking the oncoming Freshmen to the country. (Beware of Mr. Weddel’s lectures!) To Mr. Andrews and Mr. Weddel we leave our sincere gratitude for helping shove us over the great cliff of learning. To Mr. Burkel we leave an extra “ice cream suit for those rainy nights out on the football field. To Mrs. Cummins we leave an x-ray machine that will enable her to look into a freshman’s head to see if he has acquired any of her lectures. To Mr. Cummins we leave a supply of nickels to be passed out during his “true-false” tests. To Miss Fase we leave an automatic checking machine to aid her in grading those “errorless typing papers” — one that will detect erasures! To Miss Graves we leave — still tempted by those wonderful odors from cooking lab. To Mrs. Hahn we leave an electric gum disposal. Now your girls will be in gym instead of Study Hall. To Mr. Hansen we leave a first-aid kit in case he should miss a nail sometime in the future. To Mr. Hatch we leave an “easy-to-read” joke book in case he is called on too many times to speak in convocation. To Mr. Henderson we leave a tip. To Mr. Hudson we leave all the underclassmen with their speech defects. Otay, Missr Husson? To Mr. Jones we leave, hoping he will some day get that new super laboratory — the old one is slightly used. To Miss Jorn we leave a year’s supply of gasoline. Those week end trips to Verdon take quite a bit. To Mrs. Kinkead we leave our hopes that in the future an arrangement can be made between her and Mac concerning athletes that sing. To Mrs. Kline we leave all of our knowledge that she put into our heads to those lucky underclassmen. To Mrs. Mackey (the blushing bride) we leave a set of regulations of the armed forces. To Mr. Mclntire we leave our hope that the future will include just as many successful athletic seasons as this one did. To Miss Sheehan we leave a sledge hammer so that she may pound English into the heads of oncoming freshmen. To Miss Shook we leave our nomination for President of the United States — that is, if she’ll admit she’s thirty-five. To Mr. Simon we leave a gross of pencils. After all it’s not his fault he has to write down so many names to report at 4:00 o’clock. To Mr. Sympson we leave our wishes for many years of happy married life. To Mr. Thomsen we leave a “Simon Legree” whip so that he may reduce the noise on second floor in style. Richard Adams leaves his ability to cheat the parking meters to Carl Vanderveen, not that Carl needs any ideas! Robert Albright leaves his cave-man tactics to Charlie Williams. Shirley Albright leaves her blonde hair to Sheila Yoder. Hershel Anderson leaves all the gum under his desk to Ralph Nelson. Jim Ankrom leaves his numerous car horns to Chuck Baker. Barbara Apel leaves singing “Nothing Can Stop the Air Force Cadets.” Charles Asendorf leaves his “big he-man ways” to George “Man-Mountain” Hunker. Ralph Birdsley leaves his knowledge and ability to drive to Richard Wiedmaier, whom we think can use it. Harlan Boatman leaves his dentist smile to Shirley Hamm.

the cannibals of darkest Africa. We wait breathlessly for a letter each week to tell us whether or not they have been eaten alive! JoAnn Joy is now a famous Hollywood actress — following Greta Garbo’s shoes, she still “vants to be alone.” We find Elaine Fryer spends her entire life now at the Aldorf Wastoria answering the call of “Hey, sweetie, give me a pack of cigarettes.” Bob Yanike has his own band now. It is called the “Bobwalkers” and has played jive all over Africa. It has converted the natives to boogy-woogy and the Fiji Islanders now are doing the banana split. Dick Young, who is still in the submarine service, has recently announced his engagement to Minnie the Mermaid, whom he met “Down at the bottom of the Sea.” Joan Hopp and Dick are still going steady. She thinks it wise to wait until they know each other better — twenty years is such a short time! Dolores Groff’s dream man has been upon his knees “umpteen” times, but she won’t promise — how can she say yes when her hope chest isn’t full? Richard Adams is spending some time on one of the Pacific Islands — Alcatraz. Farming makes Kenny Sailors and Milford Kirken-dall dizzy. They get all tangled up in the rotation of crops. “Chief” Nanomantube was making millions until a few weeks ago. His press broke downl Myron Shubert had had a busy day. He graduated from N. U. and applied for his old age pension at the same time. Dean Grantham is a qualified physicist, having received his B. S., Ph. D., C. O. D., P. D. Q., and is now working on his I. Q. Jim Ankrom is still doing the same thing he always did for a living — as little as possible. After ten years Barb Randall has published her ten volume analysis of “Alice in Wonderland.” Gertrude Collier and Elaine Henke’s journalistic ability has stood them in good stead. Their new book, “The Way to Happiness” or “Life Outside of High School,” is a great success. Don Stewart and Norma Runyan have created a new jitterbug step known as the “Worm-eaten Crab Apple.” It’s really mellow! Fastest Man Alive, Bill Dorste, the human bullet of the racetrack — so say the reporters — drives the “Lazy Angel” like a fast fool. Orson Welles didn’t have anything on Corene Griffiths. In her latest production, “Caressing Corene,” she played a dual role. Corky wrote the play, Corky directed the play, Corky produced the play, Corky had the lead in the play — (Who do you suppose painted the scenery????) I took out the last pamphlet. It was as startling as the rest. Barb Colbert is not alive any more. She blew such a resounding blast on her trombone that it backfired ! Lou Rita Sanchez FALLS CITY HIGH SCHOOL STADIUM
