Lucien needs it and I have plenty. I, Harlan Shank, leave my most cherished possession, one which has greatly helped me in my high school years--my motorcycle--to anyone who will treat it with the kindness and tenderness it deserves. I, Norlyn Taylor, bequeath a little of my extra height to Kirby Johnson in or- der that he can see the band director without sitting on catalogues. I, Opal Turner, leave Jim Snyder my ability to speak rapidly. This will un- doubtedly aid him in speech class. I, Jeanne Whetsel, leave my typing ability, as well as my interest in said subject, to David Cox. I, Bob Wickwire, will my nickname, Putty, to Big Bob McKee. To the Junior Class we leave inspiration, perseverance, and a desire to work. With these characteristics and a little luck, they may approach the standard we have set. To the Sophomore Class we leave the consoling thought that they have com- pleted half their high school work. To the Freshman we leave our excellent ability to sell magazines. To the faculty we leave these possessions: To Mr. Lundgren-- An American History Class that can read its lesson once and understand it. To Mr. Sunderman--English III students who will appreciate Modern Amer- ican poets. Also we leave our thanks for his patience and cooperation in making our four years so enjoyable. To Mr. Balch--A girl's gym class made up of members who can tumble with flexibility without getting hurt. To Mr. Quarton--An intelligent group of students for chemistry, biology, and algebra possessed with a keen desire to learn more about coon dogs. To Mrs. Carr--A Home Economics Class who can tell the yolk from the white of an egg. To Mr. Lefever--A strong alto section in the Mixed Chorus. We also leave my automatic conductor's stand that is self adjusting. To Mr. Hahn--An Agriculture Class with a supreme interest in Berkshires, Hampshires, and Worcestershires. To Mr. DeYoung--A shorthand class that will master each days assignment without the customary moans and groans. To Mose--A jet propelled broom and a radar unit to detect those people who stick gum on the tables and throw the wrappers on the floor. To Caroline--An office boy to attend to the job of writing excuses for those unfortunate students with no alarm clocks. Signed and sealed this 1st day of June, in the year of our Lord 1954. Class of '54 11
