From our first financial venture--the scrap drive to the Junior- Senior Banquet given in our honor, each event is recalled with individual memories and emotions. We remember the pins and sachets we sold just before Christmas of our sophomore year, and the bake sale in the spring. Our junior year was filled with skating parties, and the magazine sales drive in which our high salesmen were Bill Elliott and Ethlyn Hoke. Our class play and our class rings made the junior year complete. As seniors we initiated the new curtains when we presented our class play. We nearly broke ourselves and our parents buying pictures, name cards, and invitations. Never will we forget the thrill of publishing Corcord's first weekly paper. And then there were the classes and the tests we took. At this writing we are looking forward with great anticipation to the Junior-Senior Banquet . , . class night . . . baccalaureate . . . our class trip . . . and commencement. We, the Class of 1954, students at Concord High School, in the Metropolis of Dunlap, the county of Elkhart, and the State of Indiana , being in better mental superbness and disposition than normal, do hereby make this, our last will and testament, rendering void and of no avail any former will or wills that may have been previously made by us duringa period of tem- porary insane naiveness.

To the Juniors, we will our honorable name, Senior , providing they use it with the justice and the dignity which we have practiced during our reign. To the Sophomores, we will the joy the next two years of high school will bring. To the Freshmen, we will our theme How To Get Along With Teachers.

' 9' HEAD FIRST When Larry's occult-wise friend, Phil, with the best of intentions, plans to put the recalcitrant new butler into a hypnotic trance and induce him to be a good butler, the Carrs should have been mightily pleased, but weren't. For Phil, by mistake, hyp- notizes Mr. Dowd, the wealthy house guest Qwho might merge business with Mr. Carry, and has him going around believing he'd like to serve dinner, and rejoices in answering doorbells. The Dowds' sophisticated daughter, Mary Lou, thinks her dad is terribly funny in his new role, and induces Phil to convert her mother into a would-be cook ..... It would fit in so well with butler Father. . . . So Phil promptly does. There ensue some riotous scenes, with Mrs. Dowd getting underfoot in the kitchen, and Mr. Dowd, frying pan in hand, chasing Barlow through the living room. Meanwhile, J ody'S friend, Marilyn dateless for the dance, is magically persuaded by Phil norto want to go dancing at all. He's just trying to help out Jody, who is frantically telephoning prospective escorts. Of course when the blind date arrives and Marilyn calls him a jerk and refuses to go, you can imagine the consequences. Furious with Phil, the distraught Carrs hire a professional hypnotist, Lori, to undo the mischief. But she, too, confuses identities, and has Barlow, thinking he's a rich industrialist, and the real cook believing she's an aristocrat who winters in Hono- lulu. All of which leaves the Dowds still in their domestic roles, and the business merger no nearer completion. This unhappy situation is relieved only when Phil, certain this time, who is which, in an unequalled mass hypnotic scene to end all scenes, turns the characters right side out again!
