CLASS WILL We, the Senior Class of l945, being of sound and disposing mind and memory and not acting under duress, fraud, or undue influence whatsoever, do hereby make, publish and declare this our last will and testament in the manner following: To the Juniors we leave our seats in the front row in the assembly, and also the responsibilities of being Mighty Seniors next year. To the Sophomores, we leave the worry of putting on a prom next year. P. S. take a few pointers from the Juniors, and we predict you won't have any worries. And last but not least, to the little Frosh we leave a fraction of our elementary knowledge and diligence, You may need it in the next three years. Faye Alexander wishes to leave her long blond hair to Mickey Willis, so in the future Mickey won't have to brighten her hair with a dash of peroxide. Don Ball was going to leave his long stride in basketball to Bobby Buchanan, but since Don is in the Army now, he thought he might need it. Richard Buck wills his spotlight, minus the car, to Wayne Montague, your next worry, Monty, is to get a car to put it on. Ruby Campbell thinks she will keep everything she's got, because she's afraid she will need it in the future. Calvin Brown wills the two front seats that he and Faye Alexander occupied, to .Echo Geissler and Sylvia Slater, and hopes they get along as well as he and Faye did. Ray Conrad wills his ability to get along with the women to Bob Hutsell, and we ihope he gets along as well as Ray did. Richard Erfurth wills his ambition of being a farmer to Tommy Spining, hope you :like it, Tommy, it's lots of fun. Leeta Fichtenberg wills her tiny feet to Ruth Frohnhafer, and we hope she keeps them stepping. Bob Frohnhafer would like to keep everything for his best gal, Betty Simpson. Faye Green wills her seat in the front row in glee club to Janis Haynie, now let's have a little noise in the Alto Section. Carla Horn wills all her service men to Hazel Logsdon. Carla feels she won't have time for all of them after she graduates. Faye Hurdstrom and Bernice Rohlman will their snappy pep as Cheer Leaders to Renie Reinbold, Janet Drake and Virginia Zeuhlke. Lauretta James wishes to keep all her troubles until Virgil gets home, then she will unload them on him. Lorraine James wills her ability to get along with Danny Hopp to Janet Drake, good luck, Janet. Glenn Kirkwood wishes to put all his troubles in a little box and give them to Lyle Fisher. We hope Lyle gets them all straightened out before he graduates.
