I also be- queath to her anything else we may have in common. Item XXXIX: I. Joan Schuclcr, leave to future classes of girls, my very interesting collection of snapshots acquired through the years. Item XL: I, Diek Slocum, leave to any bud- ding mathematician, the slightly dazed look which follows naturally upon the heels of a bout with the slide rule, with a second course consisting of log hooks and unit circles. Item XLI: We, the senior members of the football team, leave to Irv Hood, the prophecy that next year he will come through the season intact. Item XLI I: I. Suzanne Pyle, leave to Audrey Peters, the knowledge that we arc two good rea- sons why “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Item XLIII: I, Mary Lea Shiman, leave a record of flawless class recitations, delivered in the face of unwarranted interruptions and dis- tractions on the part of my classmates. Item XLIV: I. Skippy Kemp, leave my ability to throw a really lively party to Don Ncider, who. of course, is a veteran at the game himself. Item XLY: I, Chuck Baldwin, leave to young dance-goers, the memory of a new high in floor- show entertainment. Item XLVI: I. Clint Packard, leave to Dave Dorand, my prowess in the chlorinated tank. (My remarkable resemblance to the Swoon-Crooner is something too precious for me to trust in careless hands.) Item XLVI I: I, Carol Kasen, leave to young and hopeful thespians, a shining example of the power of a silvery voice and perfect diction. Having thus distributed our treasures and possessions individually, we, as a class, do bequeath the following: To Mr. Sterling: a history class that can find a flaw in his argument and trove it. To the Lunchroom Committee: girls who like to eat sitting down—not standing in the aisles. To the pupils in general: a sophomore class that will not insist upon flocking like sheep to stairway 1 between every class for the first two months. To the faculty in general: a sophomore class that will learn the first day that 222B is not next door to 401. I’ltflP VinPtPPii

THE MIRROR COLUMBIA HIGH SCHOOL Class Will something lo strive for. Item XXIV: I, Brad Spangler, leave my title of “Local Casanova’ to Claude OfTray, the Blond Bombshell. Item XXV: I. Dick Clancy, leave my tricky- little knife, the cause of many a feminine shriek, to any junior hoy who thinks lie's funny. Item XXVI: We, Jay Wiess and Boh Heydt, leave to the easts of Junior Nights to come, a sterling example of tin brand of humour that has made us what we are—which is an opening we would rather die than pass up, were this not a legal document. Item XXVII: I. Ted McDonough, leave to Kenny Kyle, the knack of making a car battery run when completely dead, while holding the roof on with one ham! and the door with the other. Item XXVIII: I, Even Baker, leave my en- gaging shyness and laconic manner of speech to— well, there must he someone who can qualify. Item XXIX: 1. Helen Gcdney, leave to the Secretary-elect, my knowledge of how to condense lengthy speeches into one sentence, and avoid a lusty ease of writer’s cramp. Item XXX: 1. Betty Jane Fountain, leave to Pago. Eighteen Ellen Kicrnan, the enviable position of the girl everyone likes—even girls! Item XXXI: I, I eg cismillcr, leave my un- ceasing and time-consuming activities in school to Pat Allen. Item XXXII: I, Jane Dent, bequeath my studied solemnity and languid poise to Bette Brady. Item XXXIII: I. Regina Wyglcndowski, leave to Leone Behrcndt, my scintillating conversation, an important part of any girl’s popularity. Item XXXIV: I, Fred Neese, leave Boh Mc- Laughlin out of breath from being chased. Item XXXV: 1. Grace Smcthurst, leave my original (to say the least) manner of turning corners (in a car) to all potential drivers—with the assurance that, no matter how awkward, it gets you there (a good part of the time). Item XXX 1: I, Jack Hillman, leave to Jim (“Hymie”) Carr, my growing interest in the Span- ish language, and my thirst for further knowledge. Item XXXVII: I, Sandy Meade, leave to Rcmmy Lane, my varied repertoire of parlor tricks, guaranteed to keep a dtdl party limping along until relief comes. Item XXXVIII: I. Edna Okner, leave to Helen

'4 COLUMBIA HIGH SCHOOL WE MIRROR 4 Class Will To the typing teachers: students who have not been hanging away on their own machines for years in their own original way. To the students in general: a sure-fire exer- cise to get rid of slight list to starboard which invariably evidences itself once the load of hooks is removed from the hip. To those unsure of foot: a step in the girls’ lunchroom which doesn't jump up and snap at vou when you’re (lying low with a tray-load of dishes. To the ever-credulous sophomores: the warn- ing never to ask directions of anyone whose nose is not buried in “Columbian Highlights.” To the mechanical drawing classes: ink which doesn’t smear itself all over the drawing when you’re away from your desk. To the House and Grounds Committee: search warrants. To Miss Silvernail: library chairs which don’t screech like banshees every time a restless reader launches on a round-trip of the room; also, stu- dents who don’t “oh.” “ah,” and “oli-oh” every time the library telephone rings. To the medical staff: some new and logical symptoms. To th e school: a balcony which does not give you the impression that you’re about to pitch headlong over the railing when you descend tin stairs. To the Assembly Committee: a student audi- ence which docs not clap and cheer frantically, like beings possessed, in order to shorten the work- ing (?) day. (Or perhaps the A. C. will look this gift horse in the mouth.) To those having late (oh. very!) lunch: a live- minute intermission between periods three and four in which to gulp down that part of your lunch which is gulped down anyway, blit which is often a hindrance to class recitation. To English teachers: short-story aspirants who have normal, healthy minds, instead of the murky- swamp, cold, grey-fog variety which unfailingly crops up every year. To Miss Baiardi: a Spanish (imagine!) class with sober-minded, serious students. To the School Council: homeroom representa- tives who, if they must come to meetings late, will not trip and drape themselves dramatically and noisily over at least three chairs in the back row.
