CLASS WILL We, the Class of 1955 of Adams High School, of the village of Adams, and the county of Jefferson in the state of New York, being of sound mind, body and spirit, do declare but can’t afford to publish our last will and testament. Our worldly possessions are to be distributed thusly: First—We direct that our just debts be paid by the Class of 1956. Second—We bequeath the following assets as herein set forth: We, the Class of 1955, leave to the board of education our deepest gratitude for all the favors they have done us during our years in high school, including our newly finished desk tops. (God help they stay that way.) We, (an unmentionable group) in the Class of 1955, leave to Mr. Scholtz our deepest grati- tude for bearing with us during the chaos of Hallowe’en in 1954. Merv, too. We, the Class of 1955, though unable to do so, would like to give Miss Reed the Congress- ional Medal of Honor for action above and beyond the call of duty in 2' 2 to 3 years of trying to pound history into our unruly and thick-headed class. We, the Class of 1955, leave to Mrs. Howard our deepest gratitude for breaking the monot- ony of English class by reading The Idylls of the King,” which kept us on the edge of our chairs for nearly a month. Nelson Howard leaves his sprinting ability to Jimmy Sinclair. Percy Pratt leaves his great height to Richard Flaherty. Ann Remington leaves her weight to Charles Sweetland. Ralph Cook leaves his broad shoulders and strong back to Ralph Owens. (He sure can use them.) Guff Chalmers leaves his motorcycle to Mr. Gordon. (We’ll bet he’s scared already.) Willaird Blair leaves his badminton ability to Wayne Poller. Clifford Cool leaves his wrestling ability to Camilla Hewitt. Daphna Vrooman leaves her brains to Bernard Larkin. Earl Richardson leaves his class ring to Virginia Cory. Joan LaClair leaves her beauty and charm to Barbara Young. Bill LaComb leaves his basketball ability to Ronnie Trowbridge. Pete Larkin leaves one big kiss to Pat Easton. Carl Patten leaves his engagin’ ” ability to George Wetterhahn. Ken Sloan leaves his fast walk to Charlie Drake. Connie (Ma) Elliott leaves her ability to keep her man to Sandra Smith. Florence Scofield leaves her milking machine to Carol Chalmers. George Grimshaw leaves his Liberrace” hair to Kathy Parker. Doug Draper leaves his string of traps to Wilson Rusho. Vincent Farmer leaves his bowling skill to Doug Murray. Bob Sischo leaves to Mr. Clancy his neatly combed hair and comb. Larry Schelmidine leaves his football ability to Charles Brigham. Edith Prouty leaves her quiet and gentle manner to Millie Sidinore. (Use the well and you just can’t tell.) Shirley Marti leaves her gum wrappers to Mr. Caulkins (as always). Charlotte McGrath leaves her silly grin to Mrs. Montague. Julia Howe leaves Pat Smith her freckles. Fern Preist leaves her fancy Air Force buttons to Lynda Park. We, the Class of 1955, leave our good advisor to the next class (poor things!). In witness whereof, we have hereunto and thereunto subscribed our names and affixed our seal, this Twenty-seventh day of June in the year of Our Lord, One Thousand Nine Hundred and Fifty-five. [ 10 ]
