CLASS WILL We the senior class, of the city of Atkinson, county of Henry, state of insanity and Illinois, being of sound mind and memory?, do make, exaggerate, publish, and promulgate this our last philanthropic inclination and testament in lack of manner and word as follows: I, Gordon De Vriezer, give my ability to jump five feet nine inches to Wayne Misfeldt in hopes he will be able to do so. I also give my speed in basketball and football to Francis Cathelyn because I know he needs it. I, Richard De Decker, leave my new rocket ball point pen to Bettie Wilson, who is always borrowing it, and my liking to follow certain girls to Wayne Misfeldt. I, Danny Freddy, leave my ability to get along with teachers, women, and others to Winfred Gentry who I think will come to need it. I, Royce Van Vooren, leave my rusty, well-combed hair to Charley Ouart. I, Robert Brown, leave my love of school books and ability to study to Ruthie De Roo. I, Richard Moens, leave my admiration and devoted respect of teachers to Joan De Decker.
