LIBSS WIII We, the Senior Class of 1958, being of sound mind and forgetful memory hereby make, publish, and declare this to be our first and last Will and Testament. To Ellsworth High School, we, the Senior Class, will a larger candy machine to prevent the line-up between classes . To the Junior Class, we will a special pop cooler so they won't have to use the snow, as we did. To the Sophomore Class, we will our technique of getting at the right place at the right time--especially on tours . To the Freshman Class, we will our ability to set a good example as blameless students. Our record has been spotless. I, Larry Lucas, will my ability to get along with Junior boys to Jerry Williams. I, Shirley Thomas, will my nickname, Sam, to Maxine Emberton so she may carry on my name for being so well behaved. I, Kenny Herman, will my good looks to Janet Brent. I, Raymond Killian, will my ability to skip classes to jeff Adams. I, Don Crutcher, will my train whistle to Jim Knight. I, Marla Gaines, will my flats to Helen Woodford so her feet won't get so tired. I, Warren Bates, will all my black strips I have around Ellsworth to Dick Young. I, Don Coale, will my ability to get along with Mr. Somers to Glenn Stille. I, Harvey Brent, will my ability to stay out of trouble to Loren Carter. I, Betty Davis, will my shyness to Margie Parker. I, Carroll Newberry, will my ability to be a good kid to Alice Carlson. I, Dale Walden, will my ability to stutter to Nancy Keene. I, Dean Sturgeon, will my cigars to George Scott to smoke on school trips: and to Jackie Wall I will my height. I, David O'Neall, will my ability to keep out of fights to David Young. I, Eleanor Bane, will my safe driving in the 50 Special to Barbara Newberry and hope she will be a better driver than I am.
