Class Prophecy Well here we are ladies and gentlemen at our Annual Chatham Class of '50 Re- union. We have taken over one of New York Cities’ largest down town hotels, free of charge. This was made possible by none other than Alan Faken, that famous million- aire real estate dealer. All the class members are present and are busy thanking Alan for his gener- osity: Bernie Lassond has just arrived from Washington, D. C., where he has been promoted to the rank of Admiral in the United States Navy. This honor was bestowed upon him by the President of our country, Bill Arters. Bill has a beautiful sun tan as a result of his frequent Florida vacations. Loretta Cleveland has made great progress in the field of Journalism. She is now noted for being the first lady editor of the New York Times. All the girls are trying to attract Marvin McVicker's attention. Marvin is the greatest lover Hollywood has seen since Rudolph Valentino. He came with Lois Root, who just gave him special beauty treatment at her world famous Beauty Salon. Lois is known to her many rich customers as Madame Root from Paris: Everyone has admired the diamond necklace worn by Ruth Smith. It was a present from her third husband John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Our entertainment will be furnished tonight by Charles Grim. Charles is starring in that smash Broadway hit, North Pacific, and we all agree he is evena greater singer than Enzio Pinza. Joan Dieckman has checked everybodies pulse and temperature. I'm told it’s just force of habit for Joan is head nurse at New York City Hospital. Lowell Anklam is the greatest mathematician since Albert Einstine. He is now scientific advisor at Purdue University. I am working as a cartoonist for the Saturday Evening Post, and must now join the festivities of the reunion. aitgcladi hed James Moore 11

Last Will And Testament We, the Class of 1950, in eleven individual and distinct parts, being of sound minds and memories, do make and publish this, our last will and testament. ARTICLE I To Mr. Kohli, our superintendent, we bequeath the memory of the attentive Physies Class, the considerate Study Hall in the back of the north room, the typewriters and short- hand workbooks we feverishly worked over. To Mrs. Whitman, we bequeath the peace and quietness she will now have with our departure, may she have a chance to gain back her physical and emotional strength. To Mrs. Kyser, we bequeath a sweet and unbroken succession of restful nights. No longer need she lie awake and worry over the uncertainty of whether we will have our book reports ready or our lessons prepared. To Mr. Chaffee, we bequeath, the History Reports we sometimes in our absent- mindedness forgot to do, in order that he can reassign them to the next unfortunate American History Class, and also the two Economics books we so diligently poured over. To Mr. Taylor, we bequeath the Driver Training Car and the dent in the fender made by Ruth Smith. ARTICLE II To the Juniors, we bequeath our keenness in our studies, and the memory of the good times we had together, as fellow students. To the Sophomores we bequeath our assorted, genius-like pranks and tricks we have pulled on each other and on the faculty. To the Freshmen, we bequeath the table tennis equipment which furnished us with our main source of entertainment, at noon. ARTICLE III ar, I, William Arters, will my position on the All-County Team to my brother, Bob. I, Ruth Smith, will my absent- mindedness to Norma Barnhart and may she re- member more with it than I did. I, Charles Grim, will my Butch haircut to Bob Garver. I, Marvin McVicker, will my guard position on the varsity basketball team to Charles Dennis, and may he have better luck than I did. I, Lois Root, will my sense of humor and ability to have fun in school to Dorla Packard. I, Lowell Anklam, will my weight to JoAnne Carr, may she use it to better ad- vantage than I have. I, Alan Eaken, will my quietness to Bill Wessolek. I, James Moore, will my Freshman girl friends back to the Freshman boys. I, Loretta Cleveland, will my ‘‘devil may care spirit'’ to Arlene Pitz, and may she dave as many hilarious times as I have had with it. I, Joan Dieckman, will my ability in Latin to Grace Snider. I, Bernard Lassond, will my position on the football team to Larry Schroeder. ARTICLE IV Besides these bequests we leave our best wishes to any and all who desire them. Finally, we do hereby name and appoint, as the sole executor of this, our last will and testament, our class advisor, Mr. Kohli. In witness whereof, we, the Class of 1950, the estator, have set our hand and seal on this 24th day of May in the year of 1950. Loretta J. Cleveland Class Lawyer 10
