Class Will We the Senior Class of 1951 being of sound mind and under no intoxicating influences do hereby attest this to be our last will and testament. We hereby will the following possessions to the underclassmen: I, Barbara Marcoe, leave my ability to play volleyball to Jo Don, my old book reports to Roger Kinney so he won't fail in English. I will my figure to Larry and My Assistant Editorship on the Paper and Annual Staff to Bill Meyers so he won't have to work so hard. I, Beverly Stolz, will my volleyball position on the front line to Vernie, my Editorship on the paper and annual to Ralph Nickel, my desk behind Ralph to Kenny, so he can get good grades next year, and my ability to have my lessons on time to Karl so he won't always be late with them. I, Bob Lipskey, will my long legs to Richard Morgaridge so he won't be so little, my good looks to Karl, my ability to fight Larrie Bell to Ted, my desk to Dick Clark and my beloved play book to Cliff. I, Bernice Rueter, will my extra time to Jeanette Rueter so she won't have to spend next year studying, my left over envelopes to Ted, so he won't need to borrow any, my desk to Larrie Bell so he'll have room for all his books next year. Last but not least, I will my position on the volleyball team to whoever plays it next year. I, Jeanette Fischer, will my artistic ability to Junior Weichel so he can make his own biology Scrapbooks, especially the cover page, my diamond to Leila Nickel to go with her wrist watch, and my giggles and bubble gum to Jeanette Rueter so she won't be so quiet. To my brother, Lee, I will my desk so he will have a place to sit for the next three years. I, Lucille Taylor, will all my old pencils to Bill Meyers so Vernie won't be accusing him of thugging hers, and l will to anyone anything which will help them out in the next few years in school. We, the Senior Class, will the stage to Mr. Miller for fire wood: a typewriter to the Garden Club so they can type their own programs, and our class rings to the Freshmen and Sophomores so they won't have to wait or pay so much for them. 11

Class Prophecy As we return to Alvo in 1972, we notice that a great change has taken place, for there is now a large zoo. The name is the Alvonian Zoo. So we, the Senior Class of 1951, decided to visit this added attraction. The first person we saw was the aged zoo keeper. Much to our surprise, we saw the one and only Vernie Roelofsz, under a bright red wig. We asked her if she had very many interesting and unusual specimens. She said, No, we haven't any foreign specimens but we do have some local ones . The first cage we came to, disclosed a large ferocious looking bull. Vernie told us that this was big bull Meyers and that he wasn't nearly as mean as he tried to be. In the adjoining cage there was a big fat coon. Bob Lipskey exclaimed, There is my old friend Larrie Bell . Larrie looked at Bob and sighed, Don't you wish you were in here, I'm very lonesome! We hurried on to the next cage for fear Bob would join him. As we came upon it we were astonished by the unusual looking panda bear. Lucille looked at it in astonishment and she ex- claimed, Why it's our beloved superintendent, Mr. Baker . Mr. Baker answered, As a matter of fact, yes . Moving on, Vernie warned us to stay away from the next cage for there was a wild and woolie pussy cat. This was none other than Karl Clark who, in the past few years, had grown old and fierce with long crooked claws. When we saw Karl we all exclaimed what a pathetic sight. Beside him was a little coon who was for- ever teasing the wild pussy cat. Bernice's face grew white and she said, Oh, Ted, it just couldn't be you could it? While looking at the little coon we heard a deep croaking sound. There on a log sat Cessor Bullfrog Nickel. Vernie spoke up and said, This is the only per- son who turned out to be a musician in tne Junior Class . Much to our surprise we saw the laughing hyena laughing insanely at the croaking that came out of Cessor Nickel's throat. We saw a dark green Chevie parked in back of the zoo so we knew it must be none other than Cliff Tegler. Pacing ut and downthe aisles between the cages was the animal feeder. When Barbara and Beverly inquired as to who it was, Vernie informed us that it was Oliver Mayfield, the former Alvo coach. He was now engaged in coaching the animals to do their tricks. Chasing Mr. Mayfield up the aisle was an ornery little porcupine. He was trying to test his quills in Mr. Mayfield to see if they were sharp enough. Jeanette backed away and screamed, It's that dangerous Kenny Gamlin again . This trip through the Alvonian zoo was getting more unusual the further on we went. The next and last cage we came to had a trio of little monkeys with a mother monkey. The little monkeys were sitting In a straight row. One had his hands over his ears, another had his hands over his eyes, and the last had his hands over his mouth. We asked Vernie what it was and she answered, That's Jean, Opal and DeVee. Mrs. Miller is teaching them to Hear no evil, see no evil, and speak no evil . Since this was all of the specimens in the zoo, we decided maybe it was time to put an end to this day of surprises and so journeyed back to our modern homes on the outskirts of Hollywood, California.
