Class Will We, the graduating class of 1959, being of sound mind and memory, and knowing that our school days are over, have acquired a few treasured traits and characteristcs which we deem, meet, and wish to pass on to you most worthy classmates. We hereby state this to be our first and last will and testament. We will: To the seventh grade—our dusty old lockers and self autographed desks and books. To the eighth grade—our courage to face four years of high school. To the Freshmen—our ability to get our lessons without cracking a book. To the Sophomores—all our debts, since the Juniors won’t pay them. To the Juniors—our position as favorite class. To Lillian—our congratulations for putting up with all our lame excuses for help. To Mr. Myers—Thanks for everything you’ve done for us these past two years. To Mr. Weller—our deepest appreciation for your wonderful understanding whenever we needed it. To Mr. Bachellor, Mr. Mumaugh, Mr. Gerken, and Mr. Nihiser—the courage to hire a private typist so the poor Juniors won’t have to do it next year. To Mrs. Ware—our thanks for her patience and endurance while working with us. To Daphna— all our gratitude for the patience and understanding you’ve shown as our beloved class advisor. We, Bob Taylor, John Turner, and Gene Deitrick will: Bob Mumaugh to Bill Tenni-son, Mike Walls, and Bob Johnston, in hopes he will work them as hard as he did us. I, Jeanetta Williams, will: my temper to Peggy Merz, who has enough for both of us. I, Charles Parrett, will: my ability in throwing the discus to Jerry Miller. We, Janice Hersh, Suellen Shafer, Karen Minch, and Joyce Sullivan will: our blindness to Linda Meeks in hopes she likes to wear glasses better than we do. I, Gaylen Wing, will: my job of manager to John Brecht and hope he can keep the records straight. I, Sherry Forney, will: my ability to play a zone defense in basketball to Jeanne Noon, in hopes that it will benefit her next year. I, Roger Lee, will: my flirtatious ways to Stanley Kesler, who does quite well for himself. We, Suellen Shafer and Sandy Bradford, will: our ability to get F.F.A. Queen every year, to anyone else who is pretty enough to get it. I, Doug Miley, will my talent for drawing pictures to Doyle Hull, who’s artistic ability is underestimated. I, Katherine Wagner, will: my shorthand ability to Peggy Brinkman, and LaDonna Heidenscher and may they use it more than I’m going to. I, Charles Bibler, will: my love for Cloverdale girls to Olita Kakis. I, Ruthie Marriott, will: my infatuation for the Junior boys to Connie Ries, who usually ends up with them anyway. I, Dan Curl, gladly will: my seat in American Problems class to Bill Barton, should he be so unfortunate. We, the Senior boys, will: our methods of “crashing” slumber parties to the Junior boys, who seem to have some ideas of their own. I, LaDonna Spitnale, do sadfully leave my first chair in Band to Bruce Spencer and hope that it doesn’t make him sqeak as it did me. I, Tom Place, will: my ability to try anything once to Harold Spangler. I, Lottie Hanefeld, will: my happy ways to Helen Hammon. We, the Seniors, will: the class trip to the Juniors so that they won’t feel so lost when we leave on ours. I, Troy Grant, will my studious ways to Mike Hicks. I, Angela Barnhart will my love for Ottawa boys to Elaine Hitchcock, who doesn’t seem to appreciate them as I do. I, Mike Shalter, will my ability as Master of Ceremony at the Junior-Senior Banquet to Jim Druyor.

We, Larrry Schafer, Bob Taylor, and John Turner, will: our love for Senior Girls to Bob Johnston. I, Ernestine Wickizer will my sewing ability to Doris Seimet, who doesn’t need anymore ability. We, the Senior girls, will: our ability to keep the Senior boys all to ourselves, to the Junior girls and anyone else who might be smart enough to learn our tricks. I, Daphna Okuley, will: all my headaches as Senior advisor to John Fritz. We, Janice Hersh and Ruth Ann Marriott, happily leave the writing of the next “Will” to anyone who’s dumb enough to do it. The Class of “59” solemnly swear that the above was written while we were under no pressure applied by teachers, mental stress from studying, in deep thought of ways to skip school, or other disturbances and while we were in the best of school spirits.
