CLASS WILL We, the Senior Class of Fairmont High School, of the City of Fairmont, State of Nebraska, Union of the United States, Continent of North America, being of sound mind and memory, do make, publish, and declare this our Last Will and Testament, in manner and form as follows: Bob Delaney, holding his typist’s hand hand, gives his ability as an athlete to David Janda. He leaves his red hair to Charles Ellis. Louis Moul, brushing his mustache, h'as nothing to will anyone except his ability to get along with Mrs. Knutzen, and he wishes to keep it all to himself. Donald Langdon leaves Dale Hall the privilege to escort Doris West to all school activities, and his love of horses to Pauline Mason. LaVerne Bures bequeaths her ability to stay out of conversation to Nelda Adams. She leaves her pep to Viviene Priefert. Harold Hall, standing on his tiptoes, gladly leaves his height to Delbert Wink- ler—hoping that‘he will mak: the best of it. He leaves his ability to get along with the faculty to Don Maxfield. Donna Shelley, refreshing her lipstick, wills her typing speed to Vern, her slim legs to Doris West, her new look to Muriel Softley. Delvin Roper, w.eping on a stack of dictionaries, regretfully leaves his one and only to Bob Dawson—knowing he will take care of her. He leaves his ability to look innocent to Frank Rose. Darrell Laschanzky, dhewing the fat as usual, donates his gift of gab to Wayne Fleischauer, his voice to Duane Roper, and his pretty legs to James Foltz. Raymond Jackson, dashing to school, leaves his auto to anyone who can make it go, his hardy laugh to Bill Frazier, his perfect timing to Mrs. Murphy. Wilma Priefert, drooling over a chocolate sundae, wills her grades to Francis Jacobsen, her voice to Erma Storm, and her job as taxi driver to Loma Jensen.
