I, Gary Swanson, will my half way look with levis, half way up and half way down, to Harold Wills, so he can save time in dressing and money by buying no belts. I, Jeraldine Roskammer, wiil my love for dancing to Peggy Scharnberg so her interest will continue to thrive. I, Roger I uttle, tootin’ fool of Hartley's band, will my go-to-you — go-from-me playin’ to Ardine Welch, so her trombone playing will really spark up the band. I, Mavis Rossman, alias Rosa, will my fondness for lunchroom food to Yvonne English, so the food program will thrive next year. I. Lynn Schroeder, will my participation in extra curricular activities to all the future sen- iors. so the emptiness we leave behind will somehow be filled. I, Ernest Verdoes, will my steady motorcycle and my scientific mind to Tom Ferguson, so he can keep ahead of the Russians. I, Verdon Vogt, being of unsound mind and being off in the blue most of the time, will my love for aeronautics to Arthur Back, so he won’t be an intrepid airman. !, Wilma Shaefer, will my support of the school library to Leona Hewitt, so someone will head its books next year. J, Anna Speck, will my abilities in the field of stenography to Joanne Liedtke. so the teachers will have someone to type their tests next year. We, the graduating class of '55, leave our patience to the faculty and our tolerance to the future seniors. We, the class of ’55, take great pleasure in leaving you all the pets that dwell in the darkroom. We leave to you the responsibility of supporting the lunchroom. We will to you all books, desks, tables, chairs, teachers, freshmen and miscellaneous junk including broken pencil sharpeners. We will to you the blue Mondays, the cold radiators, the lecture sessions, the drinking fountains that lack water pressure, the used gum under the desks, the ability to swipe pencils and paper, and most of all, the responsibility of filling our shoes. We wish the best to you and hope that you will keep Hartley High the school we are proud to say we graduated from.
