I, Vernon Hemberger, leave my ping-pong technique to La Verne Eliason. I, Grover Rakes, bequeath by romantic nature to Bill Leskovisek. I, Billie Jean Sergeant, leave my historical knowledge to albert Jones. I, James Carter, bequeath by ability to dance to Charles Ming.

Nov; It Can Be Told George Archer threw Mrs. Higdon's .grade book in the waste basket. That the basketball boys were the guilty ones who ate Hiss Plori's donuts — it wasn't the junior lay cast That Etta Mae became quite a ooet in her sophomore year, dedicating all her poetry to Lrs. Higdon. Th3t Henry Coet finally learned that there isn't such a thing as pigeon milk. That Bitty knows which drawers i.rs. Welch was talking about—the ones in the Home 2c. Room. That Buchanan takes dares--especially on hay rides. That the senior iris had a pair of binoculrrs on their field trip when they were sophomores. That A1 Idi7.cn was the guilty nsn ho blew snuff in Eng- lish class.
