HILL We, the senior class of nineteen hundred and forty-two, in the village of Brady County of Pondera, state of Montana; being of unstable mind, afflicted with undy- ing hatred of knowledge, and great haste to leave this vale of tears, do hereby dispose of all our worldly goods in the following manner; ARTICLE I We leave to our boring, uninteresting, inconsiderate, but beloved teachers what little knowledge we managed to absorb during our four years of high school. Wei. re sure that it is so minute that we won't miss it. Article II We bequeath to the Juniors all of our D's and P's. We do not want to be burden- ed with these at college. Upon the sophomore class we bestow our little bookworms which crawled in and out of our books, and yet were none the wiser. We will what dignity we have, though it is really not excessive, to the freshmeu who, alas! have none. ARTICLE III John Curtis leaves his winning way with Dutton girls to Artie Rouns. Dorothea Hill leaves her ability to discontinue her silliness, since 1941, to Erma Weist. Melvin Bitz bequeaths his athletic ability to Jackie Kauk. Richard Weikum leaves his car and ways of getting around to Tommy Row. Betty Gollehon leaves her place in the family tree to Lois Hill and her desk in the senior row to Milly Mac Lean. Hereunto we have set our honorable hands and seals, knowing all the provisions herein proclaimed are absolutely unalterable and undissolveable by all mortal and immortal beings. PROPHECY Seniors; You are on your own nowl For it is the wish of every senior to achieve something great. Whether you do this or not largely depends on you. Will you put forth the best of effort to make yourself the following? Richard Weikum, A big farmer east of Brady. Do you recall the days he stayed home to help his father with the farm work? Dorothea Hill, married to Fred Froebel. You remember the days when Dort starts to go with Fred when she was a Freshman. Melvin Bitz, The pilot for the Western Airliner that goes from Great Falls to Lethbridge. Betty Gollehon, A beauty operator in Hollywood; maybe you can remember the days that she used to practice on the other girls in school. John Curtis, A driller in Texas Oil Fields; remember when he used to sit in school and dream about making lots of moyv.
