CLASS WILL We, the Seniors of Barneveld High School, having been examined by psychiatrists and brain specialists and found to be completely sane, do hereby declare this to be our last will and testament. To the Juniors, we leave our ability to concentrate; to the Sophomores we leave our willingness to learn; and to the Freshmen, we leave our good behavior as an example for them to follow. RONALD ARNDT wills his dare-devil ability with a car to professional drivers. They probably could learn a few tricks. ROGER BERRY wills his ability to be seen and not heard to his noisy classmates. DENNIS BUDD wills his ability to get the girls he's after to Ted Theobald who seems to have trouble hanging onto his favorites. MARK CAMPBELL bequeaths his ability to tease to the Sophomore boys who seem to be doing okay, but may need a few pointers. DOROTHY CLERKIN wills her gift of gab to Elaine Brunker, who is so quiet. MARILYN DODGE wills her carefree attitude to Sharon Jones. BOB DUFFEY wills his flashy haircuts to Gene Darrow who also seems to go for that style. ROSIE DUERST would be willing to will her smile to anyone, but wants to keep it for La Verne. BOB FRAME wills his cheering ability to all future boy cheerleaders at B. H. S. DICK FRIEDLI gladly wills his typewriter to anyone who wants to take his place in typing class. DORIS HENRY bequeaths her snappy brown eyes to anyone who promises to make good use of them. SHARON MARTY wills her helping hand to Larry so she can help him through college. SHIRLEY MARTY wills her ability to catch her man to the Freshmen girls, who don't have the knack of it yet. BILL MASSEY wills everything he has, that is, all except Nancy. BILL MEYER wills his ability in sports to all future athletes at B. H. S. DEAN OLSEN bequeaths his ability to always say the wrong thing at the wrong time to Roger Walstad. LINDA OTTO wills some of her extra men friends to anyone who needs one. LOIS PARKINSON wills her last name to Don, so he can change it for her. MARILYN PAULSON wills her dimples to anyone who will take them, just to get rid of them. DOREEN PETERSON wills her quiet ways to her friend, Dorothy Walstad. CAROL THEOBALD wills her ability to get to school at the same time every morning (right after the bell has rung) to anyone who wants it. f f

CLASS HISTORY September of 1953 saw 23 scared freshmen enter B. H. S. After initiation we were considered full- fledged high-schoolers. Mr. Butteris was our class advisor. The following officers were elected: President, Jim Erickson; Vice President, Dick Friedli; Secretary, Rosie Duerst; Treasurer, Carol Theo- bald; Reporter, Sharon Marty; and Student Council, Bob Frame. Carol Theobald represented us on the School Fair Court of Honor and Marilyn Paulson on the Homecoming Court. Our Sophomore year found us losing Patricia Bunbury, Karen Hauge, and Ron Poast. However, Lois Parkinson and Dennis Budd entered from Hollandale. Our officers were as follows: President, Bill Massey; Vice President, Bob Duffey; Secretary, Marilyn Paulson; Treasurer, Dick Friedli; Reporter, Dorothy Clerkin; and Student Council, Karen Hauge. Sharon Marty was chosen for the School Fair Court and Rosie Duerst for the Homecoming Court of Honor. Mrs. Wittenwyler was our class advisor. Juniors-Wow! We're upper-classmen now. Our officers were: President, Marilyn Paulson; Vice President, Sharon Marty; Secretary, Dick Friedli; Treasurer, Dennis Budd; Reporter, Dorothy Clerkin; and Student Council, Jim Erickson. We were once again honored to have Mrs. Wittenwyler as our class advisor. Linda Otto entered from Blanchardville and we lost Donna Peterson. We initiated the fresh- men on a Friday night, leaving them the weekend to recover. Our first big thrill of the year was re- ceiving our class rings. Our class play, The Boarding House Reach , with the help of Mrs. Wittenwyler was a success. Our biggest thrill of the year was presenting our Prom. We chose I Love Paris as the theme. Armond Huseboe furnished the music for the Grand March, led by King Bill Meyer and Queen Loris Budd. Seniors-we're finally here!! Mark Campbell was chosen as President; Marilyn Paulson as Vice President; Dorothy Clerkin as Secretary; Carol Theobald as Treasurer; Dorothy Clerkin as Reporter; and Mark Campbell and Bill Massey represented us on the Student Council. Mr. Larsen was honored to be our class advisor. Our Homecoming was a success, with King Bill Massey and Queen Nancy Dodge leading the Grand March to the music of John Marshall and The Melody Kings. The second semester found us without Lois Parkinson (Mrs. Don Darrow) and Shirley Marty (Mrs. Robert Gust). Working on our Annual took most of our spare time. Our class play, Lights Out , presented on March 22 and directed by Miss Whitesel, was a big success. Thus ends our high school days and we’re looking forward to what the future holds for us.

CLASS PROPHECY On May 23, 1967, the Senior Class of '57 had a reunion. Everyone enjoyed themselves very much. It was fun to greet former classmates and to discuss the happenings of the last ten years. A summary of the findings is as follows: Ronald Arndt has set the world record for wrecking the most cars in the least amount of time. Roger Berry is now retired as an eligible bachelor. Dennis Budd and Sandy have been married for four years, but no one has seen them. Could it be they're still on their honeymoon???? Mark Campbell is a pro-football star making $1, 000, 000 a year. He is known as the only man to go to college with an A plus average. Dorothy Clerkin is still talking about entering the Convent, but hasn’t yet. Could it be that men still interest her???? Marilyn Dodge is working for Eastern Airlines and has met a handsome young pilot; now they're both flying high. Bob Duffey has a string of taverns from Blue Mounds to San Francisco.
