CLASS WILL The Senior Class of Berne, Indiana having been brought before the jury of teachers on May 20, 1947 pleaded guilty to looking through the keyhole and is sentenced to die. We, as her attorneys, have been commissioned to draw up a will, bestowing all her earthly effects upon her closest and most beloved schoolmates, teachers, and friends. Let us now listen to the reading of the Last Will and Testament of the Class of 1947. THE WILL We, the class of 1947, being of sound mind and memory, do make, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament. To our teachers who have lead us through the years we do hereby bestow our gratitude, our everlasting memory, and the knowledge which we left in our books. To the freshman we will the right to advance out of the “green” into the sophomore year. To the sophomores we do hereby will the privilege of advancing into the upper class in knowing they will hold up the standards of Berne High. To the Juniors we bequeath all the Senior dignity which we have left behind, and also our worn out text books. I, Mary Kathryn Amstutz, bequeath my car to Marilyn Smith. I, Paul Baumgartner, will my musical talent to Willard Lehman. 1, Flossie Beer, will my ability to make friends and talk to people easily to Elsie Lehman. I, Roger Bcitler, bequeath my ability to tease all the girls, twelve years of age and above, to Roger Bixler.

Beth Centz, bestow the ability to acquire high grades easily on all dumb students. I, Brice Fennig, will all the sophomore girls to Jim Shoemaker.

I, Max Habegger, leave my curly locks to Billy Barrett. I, Vera Habegger, leave a little of my pleasing personality and quietness to Betty Schug.

I, Alice Lehman, bequeath my luck of getting rides to and from school to Willodean Bol-lenbacher. I, Larry Lehman, leave my ability to slide gently through school life to all in need of it. I. Stanley Luginbill, bestow my desire (?) to follow in my father’s professional footsteps to all others who should do the same. I, Altie Moyer, bequeath the honor of being the first of the class to have a diamond to Elaine Gilliom and Jane Kehrn. I. Mary Ellen Nusssbaum, leave my quiet nature and cheerfulness to Sally Hewitt. I, Dorothy Rutledge, will the extreme privilege of driving a shiny black car to school to Waneta Nussbaum. I, Coleen Schindler, will my ability to puli boners at the wrong time to Joan Moser. I, John Smith, leave my car for my sister's use once in awhile. I, Evelyn Sprunger, bestow my co-operative manner on Beverly Sprunger. I. Jim Sprunger, will my energetic ways to Judson Lehman. I, Julia Sprunger, will my love of “hosses” to Conrad Nagel. I, Sam Sprunger, leave to all future students the desire to get on the good side of Miss Blue (and stay there).

I, Margaret Webb, leave my ability to write long letters during school without getting caught to Maggie Lehman. I. Barbara Yoder, leave my first grade job to anyone who can’t handle high school studies.

In Witness Whereof, We, the Class of 1947 do hereby agree the above to be our last will and testament and do set our seal of eternal memories on this 20th day of May, One Thousand Nine Hundred and Forty-seven.
