CLASS WILL We, the 1950 graduating class of the city of Eads, State of Colo, being of sound dis- posing mind and memory, do hereby make, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament and hereby revoke all wills and codicils by us at any time heretofore made. After polishing apples for four years, CLAYTON PECK has decided to pass along the trait to Dickie Fluke, hoping it will help him more than the ducks did! To Lynn Healey goes HERBERT DAVIS’ great mind for basketball. Lynn should welcome any kind of mind. BONNIE LEWIS wills her knack of chewing and popping gum to Lois Laing to see if she can get by with it any better than Bonnie did—How about it, Mrs. Barker? After thinking the matter over quite a while, PAT WATTS has decided to will her long fingernails to Wanda Smith. She might need them in a pinch. HARRY ABRAMS wills his ability to be mischievous to George Schleining so he can always make a hit with the girls. On second thought, maybe you should try another method, George. MARGIE HOEPNER wills her extra inches to Irene Peck. This should make you grow up and take notice now, Irene! To Glenna Perkins goes JUDY SMITH’S ability to catch a husband. Go to it, Glenna! ETHEL HOLTER bequeaths her funny school-girl giggle to David Brabb. Gee whiz, David, won’t you have a cute one now?? To Donna Bell goes MELVA JUNE LAHR’S ability to stay put on her chair in commercial math, for some odd reason, she never could. MARY VIRGINIA LaVELLE wills her alarm clock to Pete Hoepner to help him get up in the world. To Jean Hainer JULIA MAE OWEN leaves her horse so she can be a Rodeo Queen too. JACKIE FLUKE bequeaths her sense of humor to Dolores Wimp, hoping everyone will get a big bang out of it To Shirley Williams goes MELVA JUNE LAHR’S school nickname of MINERVA SNEER, knowing she won’t mind having another one. HUBERT DAVIS wills Bob Wimp his ability to work hard in school. Bob should appreciate this. MARGIE HOE- PNER’S come-hither smile is given to Leila Freeman. Need we say more?? To Edward Peters goes BARBARA KAMMARCAL’S great mind for bookkeeping because Edward will surely need it next year! GLENDA FREEMAN leaves her pixie personality to Betty Dresc- her, in hopes she can get out of as many scrapes as she did with it. BILL FISCHER wills his ability to slide street corners to Danny Jackson. CLASS PROPHECY Today is indeed a very gay one for this is The day-May 1950. It commemorates the 10th anniversary of graduation, of the class of 1950 from Eads High Station T-I-M-E from the dust belt is broadcasting the event, as it is representative of what has happened to millions of graduates all over the country in the past 10 years. Melva June Lahr has flown in from New York, and has promised to act as announcer for the event. She and Mary LaVelle share an apartment in the Astor Hotel, in New York. While Melva June has made a name for herself as the first woman who could talk as much as Hedda Hopper. Mary was certainly not sitting around idle. She has already given a piano concert in Deafman’s Hall and acted as music critic for the New York Times and has often been called upon to accompany the famous Pily Lons over the radio.
