Class Flower Red Rose We're the class of 56» We always seem to be in a fix. We have tried to do our very best. From now on we'll leave it to the rest. Class Motto Today we build the ladder; Tomorrow we climb. Class Colors Blue and White Class Poem In our memories, our teachers will be. They always had time for you and me. We've tried to use their good advice. And we'll profit by it all through life. In sports and honors the highest we rate, For classes and practices we were never late. From early morning till late at night. We always tried to do what's right. Even though we have shed a few tears. We've had many good times in these past twelve years. The time for leaving is growing near. But to us Eldon High will always be dear. Class Will The Senior Class of 1956 being of sound mind and body do hereby make their last will and testament, on this 30th day of February in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and fifty-six. We the seniors, as a class, in the presence of these witnesses leave to the Juniors all of our capable instructors and their idiosyncrasies that we have driven them to. To the sophomores we leave the education we have so painstakingly printed on the walls. Study it carefully, you'll hear those names again. To the freshmen we leave our ability to get as- signments the first time they're given. To the members of the faculty of old Eldon High, we leave the memories, good or bad as the case may be, that we have left on the walls, in the halls, and under the desks of Eldon High School. Charles McDaniel wills his china whiskers to Freddie Allman. Tommy Hemm leaves his vim, vigor, and vitality to Richard Hemm. George Edgerly leaves his ping pong ability to Charles Cubbage, and his seniority in the kitchen to Veryl Shaw. Bill Canaday leaves his good looks and his knowledge of it to Norman Tweed. Nora and Dora Saner leave their ability to look and act like two peas in a pod to Karen Pittman and Marcia Potts. Bill Rock leaves his ability to argue with teachers to Emma Lou Hopwood. Also his good posture and poolplaying abili- ty to Jim Kllcker. Connie Christy leaves her ability to be good to Ernie Sadler and her ability to play the bass drum to Susan Israel. Doris Jackson leaves her freckles to Sally Hancock. Good riddance I Shirley Hart leaves her small feet to Kay Canny in hopes that they will carry Kay as far as they carried her. Mary Ann Ward wills her position as editor of the annual to anyone stupid enough to get elected. Reithel Sumner wills her ability to copy to anyone who is fortunate enough to get someone else's paper. Freddie Fligg leaves his ability to work algebra problems to Stanley Curtis. James Fromi leaves his ability to absorb all important facts while apparently asleep to Jerry Sloan. Pam Dehm leaves her ability to get in trouble to Marcia Potts. Carol Brown leaves her red hair and freckles to Sandra Henderson. Jean Martsching wills her ability to talk and laugh in study halls without the teacher seeing her to Susan Israel. Anna Marie Spilman wills her height to Warren Ragen. Evelyn Houk wills her quietness to David Steel. Yalanda Sumner wills the luxury of riding in a Buick to Roddy Hogue. Gene Morrow leaves his Liberace hair style to Arthur Steele. Rex Hewitt leaves his magnificent brain cell to Dennis McDaniel. Russel McDaniel wills his ability to grow whiskers to Cecil Hewitt. In Witness Whereof, we the Senior Class representatives, have set our hands and seals to this document. Class Prophecy This morning my boss, the editor of the Eldon Times, rudely awakened me from my mid-morning snooze with these words, Edgerly, what happened to the seniors of 1956? I want a story, period. I arose, put on my hat, walked home, kissed my wife and sixteen kids good-by, and started out. This was my big story. First off, I made a trip down to Dupont's rival, Burns Chemical Co. and found Fritz Burns as head of the Glue Depart- ment, stickiest character since A1 Capone. Next, up to Hemm's manor, where I talked to the athlete of our class. Tom Hemm. He has—glub—sunk to great—glub—depths, in water polo. A trip across town to Eldon's other great thriving industry. Morrow's Corsets Inc., renewed my acquaintance with old Genie, the woman's friend. Now a trip up to Ottumwa, the old county seat, where I heard that my old classmate Bill Canaday, an up-and-coming politician, is running for Mouse Exterminator of Wapello County. Mr. Canaday informed me that our old pal, Shirley Pan- handle Flaherty, and her husband, Pat, are running Radio Station KFAD in Fairfield. 13
