IN MEMORY We wish to remember our classmate, Reuben Zimmerman, who was fatally injured in an automobile accident on September 25, 1949. Reuben, a tall, thin lad with red hair, was active in school athletics, participating in softball and basketball. Although he did not have a regu- lar position on the softball starting nine, he could be relied upon as a pinch hitter or fielder. Reub, as he was known to his friends, played good re- lief basketball. He came through in especial ly fine style in last year ' s sectional. Reuben is missed greatly by his classmates and all who knew him. Thirteen

SENIOR WILL Class of 1950 Having learned all that there is to know, we, the SENIOR CLASS of Adams Central High School, being of sound mind do hereby publish this, our final will and testament, rendering null and void all other wills which may have been made during a period of temporary sanity. To the green freshmen, we will three two month school years, many vacations, and easy teachers. Knowing these are impossible, we will our good humor which will prove a great help in getting them over some of the rough spots dur- ing their educational adventure. To the sophomores, we will our unfailing pa- tience, courage, optimism, and complete blindness which they will find necessary as the only means by which they can endure the juniors. To the juniors, we will our favorite lot in the Memorial Cemetery in hopes that they will keep it in the best tradition possible, since it is the most treasured of all our gifts. To Mr. Decker, our devoted friend and prin- cipal, from whom a goodly share of our knowledge came, we return to him, intact, everything he has taught us, as we have no further use for it and we also hope that he may put his supurb intelli- gence to work on lesser minds. To Mr. Lightle, we will an album of Mule Train records in hopes that he may some day have enough money to buy a phonograph and thus be able to play them. To Miss Beavers, we will another pair of bright red shoes. Her first pair brought such favorable comments from all the students that we are sure she will appreciate another pair. To Mr. Bastin, we will the courage he will need to attempt to teach another Zoology class next year. To Mr. Haggard, we will a new vocabulary and a subscription to the magazine A Thousand and One New Jokes. To Miss Fortner, we will a new head— for the broken drum. To Miss Schertz, we will an eggbeater and any other useful gadget she may need to make her future husband happy. To Mr. Thacker, we will a solid 14 carat gold, imitation, mustache cup to be used to help pre- serve that masculine mustache so admired by all the would-be men in school. To Miss Preston, we will a bright red hair rib- bon to be worn during all her future days at Adams Central. To Mr. Collier, we will the absence of all the 1950 senior boys from 1951 shop classes. To Miss Sprunger, we will a three and one-half months ' vacation with peace and quiet. I, Howard Rich, do will and bequeath my girlish figure to June Caudle. I, Darleen Yoder, do will and bequeath a little of my intelligence to Raymond Worden to add to his. I, Jim Arnold, do will and bequeath some of my good looks to Mary Jane Troxel and my ability to talk convincingly to teachers especially about something I know nothing about to George Geyer. I, Elberta Warthman, do will and bequeath my ability to talk fast to Myona Hicks and also my manner of flirting with good looking boys. I, Bruce Schnepp, do will and bequeath to Rex Ehrsam my ability to keep my hair neatly combed and in place at all times. I, Curtis Nussbaum, do will and bequeath my Fourteen silly giggle and my curly hair to Wendell Sowards.

I, Roger Kuhn, do will and bequeath my beau- tiful necktie to Carolyn Egly and also my size 16 shoes. I, Grace Fisher, do will and bequeath my come hither look to Edith Steury and my big blue eyes to Don Haines. I, Dixie Hill, do will and bequeath my refusal to talk about some one behind their back to Donna Bucher. I, Glen Strahm, do will and bequeath a few of my quieter ways, which she really doesn ' t need, to Patsy Teeple, hoping she will be able to pass them on to some needy person next year. I, Alice Ann Beineke, do will and bequeath what little musical ability I possess to Nolan Ginter, knowing full well that it will improve his tremen- dously. I, Jane Baltzell, do will and bequeath to Norma Funk my bright array of male admirers provided that I can attach myself to one satisfactory to all parties involved. Otherwise, I ' ll still have use for them. I, Doyle Haines, do will and bequeath my quiet ways to Bernita Elherding, also the ability to know when to use them. I, Don Rupert, do will and bequeath my many and varied comments to Helen Brandyberry and my flirtatious mannerisms to Loren Moser. I, Bobby Heller, do will and bequeath my good luck to Irene Schwartz as she will probably need it. I, Virgil Gerber, do will and bequeath my bas- ketball abilities to Charlie Hoffman in hopes that he will make better use of them than I did. I. Bob Dick, do will and bequeath a little of my common sense to Andy Schrock so that he may improve himself as I have done. I, Albert Teeple, do will and bequeath my position as assistant coach to Diana Crist and also my best wishes. I. Neva Mallonee, do will and bequeath my ability to gracefully and subtly pursue a man to Beverly Lobsiger. I, Bill Lehman, do will and bequeath some of my extreme height to Marilyn Fox and my ability to brag convincingly to Norma Bradford.

I, Bruce Hirschy, do will and bequeath my beau- tiful new Toni to Virginia Taylor and also my brand new set of hair pins which I use to keep it so curly. I, Glenn Rowdon, do will and bequeath my large- ly overstuffed imagination to Delores Graber, and also my many excuses. I, Audrey Burkhead, do will and bequeath my vast collection of trinkets, including my pet SHMOO named Rex, to Gerald Nussbaum. I, Jim Ehrsam, do will and bequeath my ability to love ' em and leave ' em to Duke Hendricks and my rare cooking abilities to Mary Baumgartner.
