TOM 04 We the class of 1959 leaving all our mischievousness, meanness, our studiousness, and everything that will go with us, are taking leave of dear old Brimfield High. However before we leave, we have a few articles of which we must dispose. Therefore being of sound mind and attitude, we wish to will and bequeath our many enviable and outstanding achievements to the various unfortunate underclassmen in order that they may not entirely forget us. WE THE SENIORS DO WILL AND BEQUEATH: To Mr. Jensen, our well-worn finger nails to help him get through the years without us. To Mrs. Fitz-Henry, a quiet fourth-hour study hall. To Mr. Foster, all our athletic ability in hopes he will have a more victorious team in the future. To Mr. Jessen, we leave our well-worn history books and a promise to make a history all our own. To Mr. Linn, a year's supply of used stencils for the ones we ruined on the Pow Wow. To Mrs. McDonald, a large economy size of Bufferin for all the headaches we have caused her. To Mr. Peterson, all our excess junk from our lockers for his future scrap drive. To Mrs. Rasey, our extraordinary voices because she will never be able to duplicate them. To Mr. Strobbe, all our left-over food so he won't have to borrow from the Home Economics Department. To Mrs. Voss, our ability to talk for five minutes on an oral book report and not say a thing. To Harriet Peters, our knack of being able to be in the office everytime but the right time. To Henry DeVeries, our uncanny method of cluttering stairs, tracking the halls, and cramming our lockers, all in one enormous sweep. I, Clarence Catton will my car to Bob Roffey. I, Dora Clark will my unheard of expressions to Chris Jensen. I. Chuck Claybaugh will my ability to always get in trouble and never get caught to my brother, Jim Claybaugh.

I, Jana Miars will all my nicknames back to the people who gave them to me. I, Tom Miller will my ability to ’’worm my way around Mrs. McDonald to David Clark. I. Bill Minor will my ability to make up in one year of high school what I have missed in three years to Ralph Peters. I, Jim Munton will my speed on the basketball court to John Johnson. I, Lyle Nauman will my knack of getting the family car whenever I want it to Betty O'Toole. I, Peggy O'Toole will my expressive eyes to Rita Crew. I, Mary Jane Plack will my ability to stick to one guy for four years to Sharon Parks. I, Richard Powers will my twin brother to anyone who thinks they look more like him. I, Robert Powers will my talent of maneuvering Richard out of the truck all the time to my dad. I, Barb Shane will my activity car to the Kickapoo girls. I, Shirley Slane will my ability to stay out of trouble to Sharon Hasselbacher. I, Gary Snedeker will my ability to eat breakfast on forty-cents to Sherry Miller. I, Gary Staes will my enjoyment of life to anyone who would want such a life. I, Marion Tolch will my house for future slumber parties to anyone who can have better ones. I, Dale Wagner will my ability to sleep through all my classes to Betty Rae Harlan. I, Jerry Wagner will my late hours to anyone who thinks they can keep them. Any trace of our class in any form, we, the Class of 1959 bequeath to the dear old school and its remaining occupants.
