Cheerleaders representing our class onthe reserve team were Phyllis Showalter, Evelyn Atteberry, and Nancy Forneris. Our class queen for this year was Jane Scott, with Nancy Forneris and Evelyn Atteberry as her attendants. On November l, 1959, the Junior Class presented Ten O'Clock Scholar, which was a great success. Other money-making projects were selling Christmas cards, popcorn, and candy, the D1m.k the Dummy stand at the Fall Festival, and the Jolly Junior Lunchroom at Homecoming. Phyllis Showalter was again one of the attendants at the Sweetheart Dance. The Junior-Senior Prom was held May 16, 1958, at the Y.M.C.A. in Decatur. We were sorry to lose Patsy Huffaker and Sandy Johnson, but happy to welcome Rick Brett to our class. At last we were seniors! There were thirty- one of us who completed our fourth and final year, which we started on August 27, 1958, by electing the following officers: President, Roger Baughman, Vice President, Rodney Baughman, Secretary-Treasurer, Jane Scott, Reporter, Karen Alsbury. Mick Fleetwood and Phyllis Showalter were chosen to represent our class on the Student Council. Phyllis Showalter was chosen varsity cheerleader and Nancy Forneris was chosen reserve cheerleader. Judy Curtin was our class queen and Christine Bailey and Joann Jockisch were her attendants. Phyllis Showalter was Sweetheart of the F. H.A. Sweetheart Da.nce. Dear Son was selected for our senior class play, and it was presented on April 24, 1959, to a large appreciative audience. Those who participated in sports sometime through their high school days were Roger Baughman, Rodney Gorden, Rodney Baughman, and Marvin Widick. Our class journeyed to Chicago via train on May 8 for a very enjoyable two-day stay. At last, the eventful day arrived on May 27--Graduation! No matter where we journey into the outside world after graduation, we will all cherish memories of Blue Mound High School.

SENIOR CLASS WILL We, the Senior Class of 1959, being of so1md minds, do hereby, with all sincerity and good will, create this , our last will and testament. Karen Alsbury wants Barbara Dummermuth to have this bottle of perfume to lure a Decatur boy and then hook him. To Larry Johnson, Murray Becklin leaves these tools in case he breaks any more typewriters. Rodney Baughman gives to Steve Brown his long, wavy, romantic hair. Here's a tube of Brylcreern so that the gals will pursue you, Steve. These handcuffs are left to Myrna Hobbs by Chris Bailey, so that Myrna can hold onto her man. Rick Brett leaves his ability to get out of school so much to Darrel Anderson, who he is sure would like to have it. To Denny Damery, Rollin Davis leaves this cue chalk. Good luck, Denny, let's see you beat Rollin! Richard Dowling leaves Ralph Lockwood this sharp Zorro's sword with which to shave, if he ever needs it. Carole Edwards leaves to Sharon Ogden her ability to write her own passes and get by with it. To Sue Wickline, Evelyn Atteberry leaves this pair of shorts and a blouse, so that she can dress in P.E. every day. Judy Curtin leaves her ability to type someone else's perfect sen- tences and not get caught at it to Rita Buzan. Here's a head start. To Madeline Davis, Nancy Forneris leaves this package of rubber bands and this hair ribbon for the pony tail she is trying to cultivate. Lynn Downing leaves Ann Bliler her ability to be the tallest girl in the class. Here's a ruler to keep track of your growth, Ann. Mick Fleetwood wants Tom Damery to have this pair of horn- rimmed glasses so that Torn can look like a professor too. Rodney Gorden leaves his ability to break all the training rules to Dave Brown. Here's a pack of Salems and a bottle of wine to give you a good start. To LaWanda Foster, Nancy Gibson leaves this permanent pass to get out of study hall so she won't be continually stopped. Lawrence Staley is left curly hair by Roger Baughman. Here's a comb, but don't use it too much or you might comb out all the curl, Lawrence. Mary Fortner leaves to Virginia Kraft her ability to run around with the Decatur kids. Stevetl-Ianover leaves to Robert Ritter this deodorizer for when he goes on field trips to the cattle or hog barns.
