We, the graduating class of 1953, being of perfect physical and mental health, (we hope) and of very, very, unusual intelli- gence do hereby publish our last will and testament and hope that everyone will survive their next year of having to be lonely without us at Adams Central. We are sure that each heir will make good usage of our many talents and precious possessions. To the faculty, we will that in the future years they will have a quieter, more dignified, group of seniors than we were this year of 1953. To Mr. Reed, our well-liked principal, we do hereby will a pair of roller skates to make his last minute announcements to all future classes. To Miss Beavers, we will a smaller first period study hall and a class of quiet senior boys. To Mrs. Reed, we will a more quiet and intelligent bookkeeping class. To Mr. Collier, we will a new bright red raincoat, so that he will have it when his green-gray one wears out. To Mr. Stanley, we will an automatic paper grader, so that he will quit griping about grading papers. To Mr. Hedges, we will a new filing system to keep an accurate record for him of all activities and a new desk with 20 different drawers to keep everything together. To Mr. Watson, we will a Hoosier accent so that we can under- stand what he is trying to say. To Mr. Haggard, we will a book of new jokes. To Mr. Erdel, we will a class who ' will laugh as his jokes. To Mr. Ray, we will a band class who will be able to play their music the first time they look at it. To Joe Baumgartner, our faithful janitor, we will a new bed so that he can sleep during his free time at school. This is tc be in the furnace room.

There were about 57 freshmen, about two-thirds of whom were boys, to form the foundation of the class to be known as the Adams Central class of 56. Late in the fall a party was held in the gym. Mr. Watson and Miss Beavers were appointed sponsors. Three of our girls were chosen second team yell leaders and before the year was finished, they were varsity yell leaders. We form a high percent of the members of the chorus and the band.
