CLASS WILL We, the class of I960, village of Star Lake, State of New York, do on this day, make, ordain, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament. To the BOARD OF EDUCATION we leave all broken-down teachers, with the hope that they can rehabilitate them for future service. To the FACULTY we leave all of our unopened textbooks. Just think, you won't have to order any new ones. To the UNDERCLASSMEN we leave our talent for bluffing our way through class with homework undone. To the JUNIORS we leave the knack of working on Senior projects during school hours. Let's develop it to perfection. To the SOPHOMORES we leave three more fun-filled years. To the FRESHMEN we leave the joys and sorrows of working your way toward that final goal, your senior year. JEAN BABBITT wills her artistic ability and her post as art editor of the Yearbook to DALE CAMPBELL and RUSSELL HALL. Happy sketching, boys. Those deadlines are killers! SUZANNE BURR wills her newly acquired mechanical ability to SALLY COTE and DONNA ANDRIKUT. Maybe you'll understand what you're driving now. EARL HAYES leaves his week-end trips to Oswegatchie to MICHAEL BEMUS for the return trips to Cranberry Lake. The gas bill is terrific, Mike. GLORIA MclNTOSH wills her strong determination to DIANE HODGE and HELEN PROVOST. It's wonderful for developing will power, girls. ED PHOENIX bequeaths his leadership ability to CHUCK BAKER and JOAN SHANK. By the way, you'll need plenty of patience and talking ability to go with it. I guess there's no problem there!! DOROTHY RIXON, our famous mathematician, leaves her ability to understand Math to Mrs. Burn's headaches, BONNIE STEVENS and PHYLLIS MORROW. Let's see, now, is that a square or a triangle? JENNY VAN PELT wills her love for gymnastics to PHYLLIS THIVIERGE and FAYE TREMBLEY. Long live athletics. Miss Howard, and you, too!! SUE STEINHILBER leaves her red hair and any future young janitors to JOYCE ARNOSKY and MARY JARVIS. Make sure those baskets are emptied, girls. Oh, yes, you can reach the boys on the library extension phone. JOAN DEMMON most gladly bequeaths Caesar to KAREN SWANSON and FLORENCE HUTT. Et tu, Brute We fought many a long cam- paign together! LOIS SABER leaves her ability to lose weight and to do backward rolls to ORA JEAN VAN COUR and LINDA TROMBLEY. It takes lots of will power, she says. BIRDENNE GRAMMO wills her singing talent to GARETH TOOLEY and RICHARD STOWELL. We hear they really need it. AMY MUDGETT wills her talent to juggle the financial books to PETER BISSON and SHERRILL PAYNE. She's got the Jailhouse Blues. LINDA HOGAN leaves her success in chemistry to FRED WOODS and ELAINE HODGKISS. Watch out for the acid, kids. It's deadly!!! MAX WATSON bequeaths the art of winning over the femme fatales of the faculty to JACK YADDOW and GARY PETERSON. Those good marks never came from studying! It's that little wink that get's 'em. BONNIE FAIRBANKS gives her forestry boys to LAURIE RESSLER. Remember, Laurie, you still have to share them. ROBERT SWANSON wills his shapely shanks to BEVERLY MC BROOME. Now, at last, you can see in a crowd. Be very careful of traffic though. Legend has it that a Mack Truck can drive through Robert's legs. GORDON BRABAW leaves his soprano pitch to BRUCE SMEBY and his bass pitch to FAY GOTHAM. Lucky boys, you'll be Clifton-Fine's version of the Hi-Lo's. DAVID PORTEOUS leaves his role as man about town to EARL GEBO and LARRY SNOW. You really have to be fair and debonair, boys. PHYLLIS ROBERTSON wills her inability to make mistakes to DOLORES ROBLA and RICHARD MATZELL. It's wonderful to be a perfect per- fectionist. SONJA SHERMAN leaves her secretarial skills to CAROL GARDNER and ELAINE FOSTER. Don't spend too much time on the boss's knee, girls. WAYNE BROWN leaves his ability to fall off various high places, unscathed, to RODNEY RAMSEY and NORMAN SANTIMAW. Talent like that is hard to come by. Cherish it, fellows. JIM GOLDEN wills the French language to anyone with more lin- guistic ability that he has. ROGER HADDOCK bequeaths his magnificient profile and his unique rambling amble to ALLAN SCRUTON and ROGER JANACK. You boys will be surprised at how much faster you can cover ground with that long step. RICHARD HAMELE leaves his air of peace and quiet to LARRY SMITH and PATRICIA DE GOUFF. Please adopt it, gang. ROBERT VAN HOUSE leaves his well-worn path from 211 to 210 and the equally well-worn niche in the wall to NORA AUSTIN. You never know what you'll find there.

Come on, kids, let's set that world on fire. CLAUDE HOWELL gives his dexterity with cards to ALFRED FENTON and NELSON STEPHENS. You'll be surprised at the amount of spend- ing money you can pick up that way. GEORGE KINNEY leaves his receding hairline to STUART TAYLOR and JOHN PHILLIPS. And thar she goes. FRANCELLA KLOCK leaves her homemaking talents to BRENDA MAYBEE and JANICE FAIRBANKS. They'll need them soon. It seems Earl and Eddie like good food!
