 £oaL UJilL amt JoAiamsmt The members of the Senior Class of Deshler High School, being of unsound mind, of weak heart, and having but a few short hours to dwell among the horrors of the trials and tribulations of our high school days, and being on the vege of departing for realms unknown, hereby do make, publish, and declare this our last Will and Testament. Article I—With the utmost appreciation of our faculty, we hereby will and direct that there be delivered to them the following bequests from our personal property. To Mr. Smykil we leave a copy of Arthur Godfrey's new Joke Book. Some of those you told this year were pretty corny. To Mr. Burke, we leave a new enlarged map of the world with all battles, routes, cities, etc., on it. You won't need all those small maps hanging on the wall now. To Mrs. Schwiebert we leave the Junior Class. Just one more year, Mrs. Schwiebert, and you will be rid of them, too. To Miss Kindt, we leave all the mice, rats, bugs, and roaches that might be found in the building. Year after year of just disecting those frogs and worms will get to be tiresome. To Mr. Smith, we leave a copy of the latest drawing instructions book. This will enable you to draw a cross-road and not have to say I don't claim to be an artist. To Miss McBeth, we leave a copy of Arthur Murray's Dancing Steps. Why don't you teach the students to dance, then those out-of-school parties will be successful. To Mr. Parrott we will a Champion Basketball Team. Let's go to State! To Mr. Norton we leave a portable snack bar to be installed in the typing room. No more walks up town between classes now. To Mr. Shauck we leave a silent vacuum cleaner. Now you'll need just one boy to pick up the snippers in Study Hall and it will be much quicker than the find, stoop and pick method. We leave all the funds we have left (which will probably be a bill) to Mr. Weber, seeing we won't be here next year, you will need this to buy your own candy. Article II—To the Juniors we would like to leave our class ability to fight and argue, to give teachers a rough time but yet when things are important and must be settled our ability to cooperate with each other and get the job done. Article III—To the Sophomore Class nothing has to be left because everyone knows the sophomores know all, see all, and hear all. But we would like to express our best wishes for the years to come. Article IV—To the Freshmen we leave our desire, ability and faith that will help them through the four short and busy years of High School. Article V—I, Kenny Hoops, will my cheerleading ability to Winfield Meyer. Won't that give the girls an excuse to go to all the games? Article VI—I, Vera Bowser, will my ability not to giggle to Emma Ruskey. Home Ec. Class will be a lot quieter now. Article VII—I, Jeanette Burner, will my ability to twirl a baton to Winfield Tussing. Now lets see you lead the band. Article VIII—I, Clara Coldren, will my ability to get a parking ticket when having our senior pictures taken to Bernard and Chuckie Ziegler. Now maybe DH will make Fostoria rich. Article IX—I, Calvin Courtney, will my ability to play a bass horn to Bernard Boulis. Now don't blast. Article X—I, Kenny Scholl, will my green Ford to Ruth Casteel. Please don't bang it all up!? Article XI—I, Dick Papoi, will my new Mercury to Tom Boyer, you won't have to pilot the chartreuse junker now. Article XII—We, Vera Bowser and Shirley Oberlitner, will our membership in the Men Hater's Club to Clarice Cavanaugh. Article XIII—I, Shirley Oberlitner, will my ability not to flirt with boys to June Godeke. Lets see you stick to Anthar. Article XIV—I, Ted Knight, will my ability to play a peck horn to Alice Scholl. Lets see you play a solo at State next year. Article XV—I, Roger Gardner, will my ability to carry a flag in the Band to Pete Parsons, now you can lead the Band to Victory. 17

fi wfikucif Oh good, I'm sure this is the letter from Mr. Shouck with the vital information for my husband's and my latest book. You see we're writing a novel telling the adventures of our old Senior Class of '53, so we wrote to Mr. Shauck to find out whatever happened to our Classmates. I can hardly wait to read it, so here goes: Dear Nancy and Bob, I'm sorry that it took so long for me to answer your letter, but you didn't have the right address on it, you see I'm in a rest home in Belmore now, trying to recover from the shock of finally getting your class out of school, you know for about 12 years there I didn't think that you were going to make it. Well to get on now with what the kids are doing, I'm surprised but they have done very well. I imagine you have been reading in papers about a Professor Audy Myers, yes, this is the Walter Myers that was in your class, I guess he got this nickname because everything he invented is AUDY-MATIC . Then there is Dick Wink, he finally got his wish for becoming Mayor, at least that's what I think he meant in his last letter, he said that he was the head boy at the Town Hall in Toledo now, he also said that Sharon Dubbs was working there too, she must be his secretary. Ronnie Smith owns the Paramount Theater in Toledo now, he attributes his success to the experience he received at the Star Theater in Deshler in his younger days. You should be very proud of your classmates, remember I always told you that if you studied real hard you would get good jobs when you graduated, and here is sure proof of it, because four of my best students are now professional wrestlers, they wrestle in exhibition bouts all over the country, they fight tag team style, Kenny Scholl and his wife Marguerite Scholl, the former Marguerite Hoops, fighting against Nature Girl Shirley Oberlitner, and her husband, Vernon Panning. Virginia and Sharon Koppenhofer have done well for themselves, they are slowly running Koppenhofer Brothers out of business; they call themselves Koppenhofer Sisters and they specialize in five legged Kangaroo meat. Ervin Hastedt owns a little clothing store in Holgate, Ohio now, he features clothing for TWINS , I can't possibly see how he can make any profit though, it takes so many things to dress his own five sets. John Tussing has done well for himself, he is now Chief of Police in Westhope, I think it's wonderful that he followed in his Grandfather's footsteps. Howard Ward is director of a female quartet, I believe they call themselves The Yung-mann Sisters . I don't know how he ever got this job but it seems he has connections with one of the girls. I always expected Gloria Thurston to be the one in your class to travel to foreign lands, and sure enough she's in Australia now running an ostrich ranch, her husband Dick Bertz, smuggles her very best plumes across the ocean to their dear friend, Ruth Meienburg, the famous fan dancer. Pat Casey is running a Muscle building school in Deweyville, Don Hogrefe is her special model thot she uses for all advertising purposes. The name of Don Stanfield now tops the social register in New York. A prominent writer of commercials for the PEDIGREED FLEA POWDER COMPANY , he attributes his success to his well known song hit Oh Scratchie My Itchie. Professor Donald Hoops is spending most of his time in Kentucky upon having completed his discovery of making Moon-shine in half-the-time . Jerry Straley, Esq. is now a prominent junk dealer in Belmore, Ohio. Calvin Courtney is teaching bookkeeping at the University of Deweyville. Virginia Ruskey is driving a hot rod racer at Ft. Miami race track, I wonder how she got that job, I hear that she has pull with the boss, her husband. I suppose you've heard of the new type of mashed potatoe that is on sale in all the leading stores now, well guess who invented it? None other than your old classmate, Tom Knoke. He just plants them under the new Highway Super 6, that runs through Deshler and they come out mashed. Ted Knight is very busy in his new enterprise, he now runs a rest home for old broken down football players. Dick Moses is now romping the country with his all girl basketball team, they call themselves The Bouncing Babes of '72 , some of his featured attractions are, Marilyn Bevo Francis Courtney, Vera Charlie Share Bowser, and their own referees, Clara Cold-ren and Arlene Hoops with Kenny Hoops, as head cheerleader Roger Gardner now owns a bird seed factory, his feed is sure to make your birds sing in 90 days or your money back It has worked wonders on him. Dick Papoi teaches Drivers Training in Deshler, he also owns 99 per cent of the stock in General Motors My how that boy has changed his mind since his younger days. I'm so glad to hear that you're writing books now, Nancy and Bob, you know that there's another author in your class also, Marian Yungmann, maybe you've read her latest Western thriller, Mother Get Off The Stove You Know You're Too Old To Ride The Range. My nurse just came in to put me back in my straight jacket, so I had better sign off, by the way you ought to know her she was a member of your class, Jeanette Burner. Well it has been very nice talking to you. It really has brought back a lot of old memories. Lots of Success to you in your new book. 16 Yours truly, R. D. Shauck
