SENIOR CLASS WILL As we the 1962 graduating Seniors look forward and see the future Senior, Junior, Sophomore, and Freshmen classes, we do here bestow: To Mr. Gardner and Mr. Weddel our deepest sympathy . . . and the best of luck in the years to come. To Mrs. Ahern we leave an icepack to help cool her hot Italian temper. To Mrs. Roesch we leave the idea of changing the girls’ gym suits to green blouses, pink shorts, and orange tennis shoes. To Mr. Graves we leave a shoebox so he will have a bigger place in which to live. To Mr. Roesch we leave some stamps, envelopes, and a mailbox so he can keep on playing Postmaster. To Mr. Eckman we leave one sack of stale popcorn and a case of hot pop so he can have another one of his parties again sometime. To Miss Ehrenberger we leave her ... a nervous wreck. To Miss Fase we leave a hook, n’ ladder set and a siren for her fire-engine red car. To Mrs. George we leave the Indians — the Hiawatha Indians. To Mr. Godwin we leave three stag movies for his history class and a sign to wear around his neck which says, “Don’t call me Guy.” To Mr. Hatch we leave Richard Kirkendall; that’s all he’ll be able to handle for awhile. To Mr. Henderson we leave some much needed tranquilizers and a few nightmares about next year’s football team. To Mr. Petersen we leave a Frank Sinatra record of “Sweet Georgia Brown” for him to pantomine. To Mr. Johnson we leave a pair of four-buckle overshoes, a pair of roller skates, and a box of light fuses. To Miss Jorn we leave, instead of a new car, a motorscooter to help economize on gas for those long trips to Verdon and back. To Mrs. Henderson we leave all the Freshmen pills. To Mr. Joy we leave the hope that someday he will be able to find another annual staff as great as ours. To Mrs. Kinkead we leave our thanks for those long hours of practice. To Mrs. Kommer we leave a million dollars (in Confederate bills). To Mrs. Lunsford we leave the books: Peyton Place, Harrison High, Lady Chatterley’s Lover, The Chapman Report, and one match. To Mrs. Smith we leave a sparkling, brand-new, deluxe, 1962 chevy Impala. To Mr. Williams we leave an oilcan to get rid of all those squeaks in the clarinet section. To Miss Shook we leave — leaves, and leaves, and leaves, and finally more leaves. To Mrs. Sylten we leave a new set of Macbeth recordings featuring Jimmy Dean as Macbeth and Tuesday Weld as Lady Macbeth. To Mrs. Kielsmier we leave our thanks for doing so well on such a short notice. To Mrs. Malcolm we don’t leave anything; she doesn’t need it. Connie Carter leaves any amount of money from her Loan Company to anyone who wants to run away. Marcia Bohannon leaves her beret to Nancy “Frenchie” Armbruster. Sherry Gray leaves to join with Allen Funt and his Candid Camera Crew. Sandra Kelley leaves on a “Wild Boose” chase. Paula Lee leaves to carry on the Civil War at Fredericksburg. Janet Merz leaves her desk in the study hall to Gloria Schatz. David Martin leaves to take up the manly sport of volleyball — first stop, Verdon. John Stone leaves to become John Honea’s publicity agent. Leonard Vonderschmidt leaves his name to anyone who can spell it.

face. It was Nancy Campbell’s. She ran a novelty shop in the lobby of the agency. I saw that she had a special on compacts patented by Sheryl Gibson and Nancy Wergin. The powder won’t spill. It is saving the government teachers throughout the United States from sitting in an unwanted pile of face powder, which had been planted on their chairs. Violet and Gloria told me about all the money Vicki Darling was making by raising educated chickens, those which had attended school. They also told me that Doloris Meinzer and her husband were owners of the Phillips 66 station at Reserve, and that Janet Merz was doing well by being married to last year’s famous blackmailer. Violet and Gloria told me of their new route from the earth to the Evening Star, then to the Morning Star, and back to earth in two days. As this sounded very interesting, I asked for an explanation. They told me that Roger Kennedy was the head of their transportation lines. His drivers were Dennis Kiekhaefer and Bob Grimes. They informed me that the tour leaves Hollywood at 7 p. m. and reached the Evening Star, an all girl planet, at 7:15 p. m. Minnie Becker was the queen of this planet. They had a lot of nice entertainment. Della Meyer and Marjorie Martin had changed their names to the Marter sisters, which had a very famous all-girl band, with Barbara Tubach as solo piccolist. Harriett Hunker and Marcia Bohannon were the directors of the show. Like every night club, this one, too, had bouncers: Inez Coonce, Leslie Conley, Elaine Muller, and Linda Ramer. Dick Gilkerson and Larry Franke were the chief supervisors of the Morning Star Planet. The chief reason for this part of the tour was that the weather is so nice for the morning after the night before. Melvin Fritz and Wayne Gatz are the alkaseltzer mixers. The tour then arrived back on Earth that noon. I wasn’t too enthusiastic about this trip, so I bade them farewell and went back to the cab. Driving down the freeway, I saw a sign that said: Robert Stevens, Psychologist. “Mouse” explained to me that he was trying to find what inspired John Stone to write such stories. Arriving at the hotel, I discovered that a secretarial convention was being held there. Sandra Kelley, secretary of the year, was the guest of honor. When I went to talk to her, she told me that Elaine Yoesel, Linda and Margie Rieschick, and Doris Nie-meyer had started an all-girl argricultural college just north of Falls City. She informed me that Bob Shorb was a research chemist working on a new miracle lotion that would take hair-dye off the hands of beauticians. She also told me that Eugene Hansen was the President of the Engineering School at the University of Nebraska. Karen Noll is the house mother of the most popular sorority. I had planned to remain at the hotel that night and rest. “Mouse” suggested that we take in a television program. I was game. I asked which one, and he suggested “This Is Your Life.” I was still game. That night I found out that Richard Zentner had taken over for Ralph Edwards. As we were waiting for the show to begin, Richard came down the aisle, and said to me, “Bill Carlson, famous writer and poet, this is your life.” I was so stunned, that only one thought was clear in my mind. This thought was that I had done so well on the class prophecy for the class of 1962, that there was no limit to my ability. That prophecy has paid off a thousand times over. Bill Carlson
