W W2 We, the Seniors of the year nineteen hundred and forty-seven, do hereby, with all hearts filled with sadness, renounce all claims of C. H. S., with the following last will and testament. V To our ever thoughtful teachers, 'ialthough we sometimes doubted it, we leave a hearty thank you and a fond farewell. To the poor Juniors We leave all our dignity and brains, so as to make them fit for the coming year. Rumors are that they certainly will be needed. To the Sophornores we leave our pencils, spit wads, chewing gum, and rubber bands. However, this class will probably never need them because of their own abundant supply. Now, to the dear kind and quiet Freshmen, we leave our ability to get along with the teachers. My dear friends, it is generally customary to leave the brains to the Frosh, but the 'Class of '48' will need them much more. And now each member of the Class of '47 shall will a bit of his or her personal property to whom it will do the least or most good. , Lee Roberts wiils one of his three Weeks' beards to Raymond Sudkamp, a little Junior, who has tried very hard to grow one. Cleora Tacke leaves her quiet, Willing, and ladylike ways to Susie Baker because Cleora says Hsusie ain't got no culture. John Turner wills his ability to get along with Gladys Kees to L. D. Kennedy, who is too little to defend himself. A D June l-luntley wills her sweet disposition and slow temper to lVlr. Torgerson, who is pretty fast on the draw. Ted Hilbert leaves his big mouth and athletic ability to Joe Keener, who claims he cloesn't need it. Clif? Schnider Wills his old answer book and papers to a certain eighth grade girl. Carol Donnally wills her hour-glass figure and spare 50 pounds to Ramona Nuxoll. Alyce Bieren Wills her nickname to Dorothy Sudkamp, who we are sure, will take good care of it. Mary Ann Riener leaves Jimmy Asker to Esther Turner, although rumors are that Mary Ann is going to take a post graduate course just to keep an eye on him. Jim Toennis wills his ability to talk in the study hall, and not get caught, to Norman Fitzsirnmons. Paul Schwartz ,just leaves, and is darn glad of it. Fafaao Wepaiaa, ras W? L 7

.The day is warm and sunny in the year 1967 and as Mrs. Buettner cruises along in her Jet propelled automobile, she can't help thinking how nice it will be to be back in her old home town of Cottonwood. 5 At the close of her teaching career she moved to an old Spanish villa in the dude ranch country of Nevada and has set herself up in business as advisor to the lovelorn who come there fOr prospective divorces. I After leaving Boise she can't help but notice, every mile, a huge sign pointing to or ad- vertising Cottonwood, now inhabited by l,000,000 people. The huge National Rocket Air- port which sends a hundred rockets a day to every planet in the universe brings most of the people, but in-any others are attracted by the outstanding opportunities open in the city's many new fields of business. Upon arriving at the Airport where she will embark on her journey of the Universe, Mrs, Buettner presses a button which folds her car into a tiny package. After depositing it in her purse she hurries toward the ticket office to buy her ticket. To her surprise, upon reaching the ticket desk, she hnds Paul Schwartz, one of her favorite secretaries back in the Class of l947, is head ticket agent. After a few moments of visiting Paul informs her that Mr. Wlcliay is piloting the 2:15 run today and that if she went on that run, Mr. McKay could tell her of the whereabouts of her favorite class, the Class of l947. She hurries aboard anxious to meet Mr. McKay, but he hasnit come aboard yet. So, after seating herself in a chair close to the door, she takes the opportunity to look over the city. Almost at once she sees the new 600 room school which has replaced the quiet, modest little C. H. S. of 1947. Her memories are quickly forgotten when suddenly she notices the pilot --but to her disappointment it isnit Mr. McKay. But as he draws closer, she realizes it is he-and with a head full of wavy black hair! After greeting her he informes her he has invented a new atomic hair restorer which works wonders on bald heads. As it is time to be off, Mr. McKay asks Mrs. Buettner if she would like to move up front where they could talk of the whereabouts of their favorite class. After he has the ship safely in the air he and Mrs. Buettner settle back for ia long talk. .iWh0lH would you like to hear of first? asked Mr. McKay. Tell me, Mrs. Buettner replied, iiwhat has happened to Ted Hilbert, the Class presidentifu Ted is the famous Adventurer and Explorer of the Nioon. I-le discovered many craters of jewels and priceless minerals. He and his wife and ten children now live high up in the craters of the moon, and sell green cheese to the Moonfolkf' How interesting, replied Mrs. Buettner. l had heard Ted was quite famous for exploring something, but l wasn't just sure of what- And whatever became of his good friend john Turner? ls he in the Universe too, or is he still on earth? He is President of Pradolandf' said Mr. McKay, a tiny country on Mars. Once every month he makes a trip to earth and confers on his country's matters with the President of the United States. Before 'accepting his post as President of Pradoland, he was the one who originated the idea of building the Sl 5,000,00fl.000 dam on upper Cottonwood creek, which now enables huge ocean liners to unload their produce practically at Cottonwoodis front door. Speaking of the dam reminds me of anuther student, Countess Alyce Bieren Mitralski II, who is now the owner of the dam. She has just published her third best seller 'Forever Smokeyf an autobiography of her life. ul had heard, Mrs. Buettner answered, uthat she was back at Cottonwood after her famous husband had mysteriously disappeared. And tell me, where is Cleora Tacke? Prado Pepatas, tae - ta?
