•Senior We, the Senior Class of 1953, being of fairly sound mind (and all of that other stuff), leave with the persons remaining, some of our treasured and also some of our not-so—treasured possessions and abilities. I, Frances Boehm, leave my cheerleading ability to Thelma Whipple in order for her to have all the fun (and embarrassing moments) that are a part of the life of a cheerleader. I, Sally Butt, leave my vocal chords to any timid freshman, so that he may be heard in class and common conversation in the halls. I, Norma Bymaster, leave Byron High and Byron, Illinois, for good! I, Betty Capes, will my poodle (hairdo, that is) to Virginia Boswell so that she will no longer have to worry about changing her hair style. I, Dorothea Drake, leave my cute shape to anyone who wants it, to enable her to catch a man like Fred Whitmarsh. I, Judy Garner, leave a box of popcorn to everyone in high school. Compliments of Byron Theatre, of course. I, Rick Greene, leave all my musical ability to Ruell Holeton, so that the Byron Music Department will have a first class rating. I, Kay Laswell, leave my common sense to Janice Burkey, in hopes that she will use it while playing basketball. I, Pat McDonald, leave all my freckles (two for every underclassman just to get rid of them. I, Dorothy McKee, leave one of my Mt. Morris boy friends to anyone who would like to have an interest there. I, Pat Mon, leave seven and one-half inches of my invisible height to Norlyn Taylor'with my best wishes and hope that he will put it to good use. I, Nellene Morrison, leave my majorette ability to Mary Alice Rieken, hoping that she can arouse enthusiasm at athletic events. I, Vernon Radatz, will my television antenna to Nancy Auker in hopes that she will get better reception in the future. I, Don Oltmanns, leave my car to Dale Harding, so he can make a super-duper, extra speedy (up to 20 miles per hour) hot rod out of it. I, Ray Rauch, leave my position on the football squad to Bruce Billings, with hopes to improve Byron’s football record next year. I, Guy Showalter, bequeath my desire to educate myself in the art of nonexertion to Peanuts” Boyer with the hope that he will not lower my standard in the years to come. I, Tom Showalter, leave my ability to tell corny jokes and impersonate Teddy Roosevelt to Squire Butt. I, Eunice Stebner, leave all my serious ways to anyone who would like to go around school with a sober face all the time. I, MarJean Stukenberg, will my sweet smile to Shirley Mon to help bring a more pleasant atmosphere to Byron High. I, Eunice Wright, leave my quiet ways to Kay Campbell-with hopes that she can stay on the good side of Home Economics teachers in the future. 12
