Class Will We, the Class of 1956 of Burt Community School, City of Burt, County of Kossuth, in the state of inebriation, being of deficient mind and unsound memory, do make, publish, and declare this our last will and testament in the manner and form as follows: First, to Superintendent Castor, we leave our English diagrams, whose unerring and almost human instinct will enable him to detect and trace any lovering between high school and junior high students. Second, to Mr. Culbertson, we leave our unwanted dates—history dates, of course. Third, to Miss Baars, we leave the best marks we ever made—those on our desks. Fourth, to Mr. Ihnen, we leave our baseball gloves, which may be worn to protect his thumbs from mighty hammer blows . Fifth, to Mrs. Petterson, we grant permission to use the profits from her chick hatchery to purchase our class play furniture for her apartment. Sixth, to Mr. Vanderhoff, we leave our roller skates for use in making trips from the shop to math classes. Seventh, to Mrs. Heald, we leave the fond memories of preparing for last year's banquet. Eighth, to Mr. Lockhart, we leave our alarm clocks set for five minutes, so those talks won’t last so long. Each graduate doth also wish to bequeath a portion of his individualism to those students of the coming senior class: I, Max Baer, do will and bequeath my straight, black hair and pool-shooting ability to Marlene Black. I, Harold Batt, do will and bequeath my appetite and appreciation of good literature to Andrew Harms; may he soon gain fame as a well-educated football player. I, Caryle Black, do will and bequeath my excess poundage and interest in an Algona resident, who frequents the skating rink, to Roger Shipler. I, Mary Carlson, do will and bequeath my screen door races to Karen Steward, may she soon defeat Wes Sante. I, Beverly Christensen, do will and bequeath my heavy dating schedule and all my boy friends to Arlyce Johnson, as if she needs more dates or boy friends. I, Larry Dreyer, do will and bequeath my ability to become romantically entangled, my ability to acquire tickets for improper parking , and my smooth-running Chevie to Alice Thompson I, Vernal Koestler, do will and bequeath my support of the Democrats and my blond curls to Norman Mitchell. I, Darrell Davis, do will and bequeath my late hours to Edith Smith. (Does she need them?) I, Mary Helen Black, do will and bequeath my fan mail from Algona to Beverly Larson, and I grant permission to build a larger mailbox to accommodate Algona and Tyke mail. I, Joan Krull, do will and bequeath my numerous love affairs to Mary Keith, and I pre- scribe one asprin per affair. I, Wilma Moore, do will and bequeath the extraordinary speeds of my speech and Hudson to Karen Lavrenz for faster trips to Tyke. I, Larry Manus, do will and bequeath my shiny new electric razor to Gary Giddings, who can end those nightly eyebrow pluckings . I, Arlen Johnson, do will and bequeath my blush and sly way with the girls to Toni Angus, as if he didn't have enough tricks of his own. I, Claudette Seely, do will and bequeath my love for the younger generation to Duane Dittmer. I, David Christensen, do will and bequeath my shiny red convertible to Claire Reutzel; may he win honors on the Indianapolis Speedway. 18
