£a$t aUill j4nd Testament We, the Dignified Senior Class of '52 being of sound mind and desirous of leaving some of our claims, abilities, and possessions to those who precede us do hereby declare our last will and testament. To the FACULTY - we, the honorable Seniors, do bequeath another Senior Class as studious, well mannered, quietly behaved, and dependable as we have been. To MR.

Class Pfiajinecij One summer--the summer of 1972, I think it was--two friends and I traveled abroad. Our journey took us into France, Switzerland, and Italy where we were met by an old friend of ours, a girl with whom we had gone to high school back in Francesville. She took us to her home. (She had married an Italian movie producer). After dinner, as we sat reminiscing, our conversation turned to days of high school life. Faces, once familiar but now changed, were recalled from the past. Somehow the expression Class of 52 was brought up. Oh, what a class! Were they live wires! Did they add to the spice of life! We all agreed that it would be so much fun to make a check upon the class, one by one, and see what twenty years on the Road of Life had brought to them. Not know- ing just how we should proceed, we pondered this situation at great length. Finally we hit upon a plan! We all knew the story of the Three Sisters, the Fates, who governed the lives of the old Romans. We looked up their names which we found to be Clotho, Lochesis, and Atropos. We hit upon the plans of going to a medium, who could call up mortals and immortals from the past. By hypnosis, which she used on all of us, she transported us to the three life giving, life sustaining, and life ending sisters before whom we stood in awe and wonder as they revealed to us the story of the Class of 52 . Our eyes literally pop out as first we see before us a very energetic young man in the person of LEWIS SANDERS who has attained a very high position in life--chief window washer at the Empire State Building. Lewis really has had to start at the bottom and work up. What's this we see thundering toward us? Twelve little Hoosier Pride feed bags? No! They're children being herded along to school by their parents, the former CHRIS- ANN WUETHRICH and EDISON GUTWEIN. At Edison's insistance to advertise his mill, his family is clothed in feed bags. Chrisann, who wears the big economy size, still in- sists they're cheaper by the dozen. They now show us GARY WITT, baby photographer, (eighteen years and over). His hobby is substituting on the Tarzan Television Show. The picture is not clear-- we're not sure what Gary is substituting for--Tarzan or his monkey! Tell us Gary! After a tedious day of hard labor at his camera, Gary's secretary rescues him and helps him to his new Mercury. We remember her as MARY MALCHOW who graduated with Gary. After graduation Mary entered Ft. Wayne Business College and is now a very successful secretary. The town's most fashionable ladies are always seen at the Roglow Beauty Salon, managed by the Misses BETTY LOWE and DONNA ROGERS. Being together after gradu- ation, these two charming ladies have had many suitors but, being rather choicy, have never married. Sitting behind the wheel of an old 1950 Ford we see the editor of the Francesville Tribune, DONALD H. AMES, who after graduation took over his father's business. Don could never give up his Ford for a new model. A certain blonde is still waiting at home for Don to pop the question. Still as bashful as he was in his high school days!
