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.

After Mary and Melva June had arrived at the station they were not a bit surprised to find Mr. R. D. Farthing acting as toastmaster, he was the man who had very patiently put up with them for many years of their schooling. The first couple who was interviewed, was a tall gangly man and an attractive blond woman. At first we couldn’t recognize them, then the man lifted his huge 10 gallon hat and when we saw that head of curly hair, we knew it to be none other than Clayton Peck, our class president. Sure enough the woman beside him was Mrs. Peck-nee Bonnie Lewis, she hadn’t changed a bit either for we had to ask her to step away from the mike a bit for she was popping her gum too loudly. We were saying goodby to the Peck’s when all at once we heard a terrible shriek from in the audience and when we investigated we found a goodlook- ing young man, with a large beany shooter in his hand, and not far away, looking as if her pride or something had been hurt, stood Glenda Freeman. No, Harry Abrams hadn’t changed much either. The next lady brought up to the stage, we found to be Mrs. Judy Smith, who had been our annual queen in 1950, who told us that Mr. Smith was seated in the audience, with their family, a small outfit of 4 sets of triplets, and that they were living in a small bungalow of 199 rooms not far from Eads. Approaching us next, we found a girl whom we knew very well in school; namely, Miss Margie Hoepner, who told us she was secretary to the president of C. U. For some odd reason Margie has never lost her fondness for Colorado University. Behind Margie came a very lovely lady whom we remember as Jackie Fluke, but who was now Mrs. Gene Bailor. Mr. Bailor was along too. Everyone was being seated in the dining room and the banquet was about to begin, so we would continue our interviewing from the dining room. I found sitting beside me Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Davis and he told me that they owned a large sheep ranch near Haswell now, and were doing very well on it. Seated on the other side of me I found his twin brother Hubert, who is a very famous scientist. Not far down the table I heard a woman talking, so I went to investigate and found it to be none other than Julia Mae Owen, who was very well known for her pure-bred Hereford cattle and her beautiful ranch house near Denver. All at once we heard a terrific noise, and turned to find a very distinguished looking couple, it was none other than Mr. and Mrs. Andy Haller. We knew her when she was Ethel Holter. While they were all having coffee, we decided to wander around a bit and who was the first person we ran into, but a very beauti- fully groomed lady. It was Miss Pat Watts, who told us she was proprietor of Patties Wack and Hack” beauty salon. Sitting farther down the table we saw a very rich looking, handsome young man, so naturally we advanced as quickly as possible, and found it to be none other than Bill Fischer, who told us that he was now head photographer for Getro- Molden Mayer, and was at present working on a film about the pharmaceutical works of Dr. I. Blownup and his assistant research chemist, Barbara Kerst Kammarcal. Barbara was al- so a member of our graduation class. Finding we had interviewed all of our guests we were about to sign off, then we thought of our class motto. The Logs Lie Before Us, Let Us Build”. We wonder if we have lived up to it.
