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.

Class Will fcont. Carol Blunier leaves her job at Crawford's to Mary Watkins. You've got to keep jerking those sodas, Mary! Margaret Taylor lends Janet Eastman a foot-of height, that is! To Tom Sherman, Lois Reeser leaves her talent for getting a mid-year shiner. Jerry Lyons leaves his boots to Judy Bittner. You might get Jerry, too, if he can't get out of them! Marjorie and Marie Selvey leave their book entitled Two Heads Are Better Than One to Marden Zook. Jim Frerichs wills his long, lean and lanky frame to Ronald Fryrear. This is a frame-up! Connie Noecker leaves the Crosley to a well-suited Junior, Bill Traver. Says Con- nie, I'm just too tall! Wayne Whittington sadly bequeaths his best pair of Levis to Bill Hamilton, and says, Wear them well. Janet Pease wills her old shoes to Don Moreland, so that he may further his ex- periments with pink and green dyes. It has been scientifically proven that a porous head accumulates more knowledge, so Jane Heiken feels that she is quite generous in leaving her head with the many holes to Darlene Neuhauser. Dick Reesman leaves his never-ending flow of wit to Ina Mae Owen, with the hope gliat she will carry on the old tradition of being Champion Wise-cracker in the Senior ass. Luana Crawford leaves her last name to Sharon Janssen. Turnabout's fair play. Bonnie Miller leaves her ability to calculate figures to Ronald Hammond. This should be of great service to you, Ronald! Marlene Hartter is the lucky recipient of Minnie Schlupp's dramatic manner. Min- nie wondered, To give up my drama, or not to give up my drama-that is the question. Gladys Zimmerman leaves her excess supply of chewing gum to Ken Burrel. Gladys has turned to chewing the fat instead. In other words, gum chewing interferes with the fine art of conversation. Ronnie Wabel leaves his football suit to his little brother. Says Ronnie, You might have to grow into it, Larry! Mary Crider wills her large stack of science-fiction comic books to Billy Dildine and Frank Myers. Caroll Zimmerman wills her ability to get kicked out of girls' gym class to Russell Stoller. This particular ability shouldn't be too hard to acquire! 1 Margie Miller leaves her year-round sun tan to Bonnie Noll. Marg well remembers the day when her hide was tanned for good! Bill Romersberger leaves his chair in band to Walter Lott, on the condition that Walt says every day, Bill Romersberger sat here. Irma Bowald leaves her knack for taking three weeks off from school and for be- ing able to do schoolwork at the same time to Dick Woosley. Edith Grusy leaves her cherished bottle of Quickie Hair Dye Cshade redl to Dar- rell Eymann. Says Edie, I never got the nerve. Dick Payne leaves his class ring in the custody of-guess who? Ardith Kauffman and Norma Gerrish bestow their place in line at the mirror upon Evelyn Dubree and Cornelle Sides. To the whole Junior class, we advise keeping the lines full if there is to be any hope at all of equaling the beauty passing out with the class of '54.
