Class Will We, the Senior Class of One Thousand Nine Hundred and Fifty-Five, being of sound mind and joyous memory after these last four strenuous and hard years.: and realizing that we are about to pass through the portals into the land of tomorrow, do hereby make this as our last and best will and testament, revoking any and all former wills by us at any time heretofore made. The Senior Class leaves to the Faculty of Columbiaville High School our great in- telligence. From experience we know that they will need it, for we know it has been a hard task to keep all of the students in step. To the Junior Class we leave our now empty treasury book and hope that next year you can build up as high an account as we did this year, so that you will be able to go on a short trip, maybe to Potter's Lake, for a day or two. To the Sophomore Class, the Seniors will their orderly classes so that hereafter the Sophomores will be able to get something accomplished in them. To the Freshman Class, the Seniors will their utmost sympathy, honesty, brains, and quietness, as we know they will need all of them to get along with the teachers next year. I, Melvin Buhl, I, Glenn Chapman, I, Wayne Collier, I, Ellen Covey, I, Clinton Crum, I, .Tune Forrest, I, Charlene Harris , I, Bill Kreger, I, .Terry Miner, I, Ron Myers, will my driving ability to anyone who feels he isn't risking his life. will my loudness to anyone who thinks that the teachers can stand for it as Mr. Rosenbaum did at all our class meetings. will my quietness in Mrs. Brockriede's study halls to Paul Erwin, as I feel he will need this ability in years to come. hereby will my ability to do BOOKKEEPING lwithout knowing how I did itl to anyone who thinks that they dare take the chance to try it. ' will my ability to play cards with the janitors during school to Dale Newcombe, as I know he will enjoy it as well as I did. will my ability of sticking to one man to Margaret LeValley, as she will probably want one in tirne to come. will my basketball ability to Io Ann Palek. will my ability to sell the most tickets for anything that comes along to anyone who thinks he can keep up with me. will my driving ability to Keith Ward since he will need it to keep out of ditches like I did. hereby bequeath my ability to get expelled from Mrs. Brockriede's study halls to Dale Ross and Randall Kippe as they are always quiet there. In witness whereof, we have hereto subscribed our names and sealed our seals this 30th day of May, in the Year of Our Lord, One Thousand Nine Hundred and Fifty-Five.
