SENIOR CLASS WILL We the Senior Class of 1958, of the Falls City High School, being of sound and unusually brilliant minds, and being particularly blessed with greatness, and wishing the same to be retained for the students, school, and faculty do pass on these great talents in our last will and testament. Mr. Andrews — we just leave, with the hope that next year’s seniors will be less trouble. Mr. Weddel — we leave a device to catch the many hooky players which he has been plagued with this year.

Mr. Eckman — we leave a vault to protect his wood alcohol from the shop boys. Miss Fase — we leave all the typing books that have been “borrowed” during the last few years. Mrs. George — we leave a portable stool which folds up so she will always have one at her disposal. Mrs. Hahn—we leave a one-way ticket to Meeker, Colorado, and wish her a happy journey. Mr. Hatch — we leave the hope that his FFA boys aren't Future Flops of America. Mr. Henderson — we leave a bone-crushing football team, a state championship basketball team, and a track team faster than the speed of sound.

My secretary, Carol Tubach, is probably getting very lazy by now with this little coffee break so that will be it until we meet again. “Let it be as it happens” Gerald Hooper, Jr.
