Class Will We, the members of the Senior class of '54 of Eureka High School, being of sound mind and body, and being of superior knowledge, do hereby publicly ordain and es- tablish this to be our last will and testament, and do solemnly proclaim any resem- blance of this manuscript to a legal document of similar purpose to be entirely and purely intentional. FIRST: We bequeath to our beloved Alma Mater memoirs of days well spent, when our tinkling laughter and soft footfalls drifted unpretentiously down the hallowed halls of E. H. S. SECOND: We direct that the following be granted to the custodians of our edu- cation, the faculty: Mr. Cable-a special clock whose hands will obligingly stay at 8:29 a. m. until the very last student is in the building, so that his valuable time won't be wasted filling out tardy slips. Mrs. Naffziger-a scooter especially fitted with square wheels to assist her in as- scending and descending the stairs on her many errands. Mr. Saxton-a Stradivarius violin, so that he may have nothing to do after classes but fiddle his time away. Mr. Major-a gun with which to fight the Battle of the Bulge. Mr. Hammond-an attachment for the mimeographing machine that plays the Missouri Waltz as the little handle is being turned. Miss Jenkins-all the left-over mixtures from the chemistry lab to be used as a footbath. This is beneficial in removing the athlete's foot! Mr. Reesman-one large magnet to make General Science attractive to all Freshmen. Mr. Wallick-a box of twenty-five cent cigars to distribute While announcing the thirty-nine F. H. A. girl addition to his family. Mr. Emory-one group of students with the unique ability to draw and saw in rhythm to the accompaniment of the chorus classes above. Mrs. Sullivan--a year's supply of food capsules to lighten kitchen toil. Mr. Phillips-we leave, assuring a quiet sixth hour study hall! Miss Clark-a mousetrap that plays a catchy tune when it has caught its prey. Miss Douglas-a bottle of ammonia to keep up her spirits at the games. Miss Vitzhum- something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, and something real George! Miss Keller--a Reader's Digest to balance the podium and something real Howard! Mr. Thommen-the spirit of Henry Hornet to make next year's basketball team an- other real stinger. George-our textbooks to be used as fuel, so that all following classes may be kept warm, and the coal supply may be conserved. Bert--a box of anti-slumber pills to keep him awake during late parties. THIRD: We, the class of '54, unselfishly give a few of our many talents and possessions to the members of the Junior class as follows: Dick Baner leaves a booth in the lower hall to be run in his absence by Shirley Bradle. The sign on the booth reads, History Projects-Cheap. Virginia Karl and Nancy Herschel place their little brothers, Lee and Bobby, in the care of Donna Singleton and Dorothy Kuebler, so that they will not miss any sisterly advice. Kenny Tabor leaves his ability to grin and share it to Ruth Ales.
