Last Will and Testament We, the Seniors of '49, about to leave these happy surroundings, make the following bequests: I To the Juniors we will our charm and ability to sell magazine subscriptions. They will need both. To the Sophomores we will the hope that they will not always be as now. To the Freshies we will the patience to be superior seniors some day. To each member of the faculty we will a box of Kleenex, a bottle of aspirin, and in case these don't relieve their unhappiness at our departure, a loaded gun. In addition, we bequeath a new Ford to Mr. Metzger, a gallon of paint to the Faudree Brothers, and a magic typing eraser to Mr. Dilling. II I, Barbara Barker, will my dimples and ability to go steady to Patsy Hack. I, Carl Bechtold, will my height and 30 inch waist to that up and coming softball star, Larry Schenkle. I, Marie Betten, will some of my height to Bonnie Wiley, who is always wishing she were taller. I, Louella Blocher, will my seat in the as- sembly to Gloria Vance so Ralph won't have so far to walk to sit with her. I, Betty Brandenburg, will my seat in the front row of the cheering section to anyone who gets as excited at ball games as I do. I, Virginia Brandenburg, will my major- ette uniform and baton to Doe's youngest daughter, that she might be a twirler for 12 years instead of 6 years. I, Darletta Cox, will the key to my heart to someone who can keep from breaking it and yet can satisfy me too. I, Lois Cunningham, will all that I have, and all that I have learned I'm going to take with me. I, Tom Dillman, will my ability to put up a good argument in health and safety class to Gale Metzger. I, Charlie Fleck, will my small feet to Bob Littlefield. I, Carolyn Garrison, will my seat in the assembly to Lizzie Gump, so she can sit in front of Hezzie Frieden. I, Marilyn Garrison, will my A's in citizen- ship to anyone who needs them. I, Charles Gibbs, will my ability to get along with teachers to Ben Wright and Dick Brown. I, Norma Graham, will my hair that I cut off to Mr. Smith and my slim figure to Mr. Dilling. I, Pauline Hippensteel, will my shy ways to the Freshman girls. I think they could stand some. I, Jack Kissinger, will my wicked wink to that up and coming Romeo, William Helvey. 1, Jim Klutz, will my seat in the assembly to Marilyn Leffel in the hope that she can keep Bob Littlefield and Tom McClure com- pany. I, Gene Metzger, will the Iron Lung , my '31 Chevy, to Ida Eshelman so she doesn't have to call to start her Kaiser. I, Janet Metzger, will my naturally curly hair to any girl having trouble keeping hers curly in rainy weather. I, Ronald Metzger, will my natural ability to blush to anyone dumb enough to want it. I, Don Mosher, will Jim Hammond all of the demerits I didn't get while I was in school. May they help him have A's in citizenship. I, John Penrod, will my ability to get math, to Lulubelle Penrod. I, Bruce Pottenger, will all of my excess weight to anyone who is willing to take it. I, Lee Dick Rieken, will my bicycle to any- one with flat feet and my love letters to Chuckles Gibbs. I, Theron Rupley, will all my good natural ability to anyone who can carry that big a load. I, Marlene Schroll, will my seat in the as- sembly to anyone who can take the teasing of Bob Yentes and Dick Workman. I, Ann Snavely, will my naturally wavy hair to Lee Ray Aughinbaugh, so he won't have to spend his money on Toni'. I, Bob Snell, will my front seat in the as- sembly to anyone who has enough muscle to push this big desk out, so they won't al- ways be cramped like I am. I, Coleen Warren, will my hair to anyone, provided they take the name Blonde too. Page Fourteen
