X X ee We, the Senior Class of 1954, being of sound mind and body fto all outward appearancesj hereby testify and witnesseth on this, the last belated moment of our long suffering existence, to be our last will and testimony. May we ask that you recieve these respective legacies in the spirit of unselfish friendship with which they were given. We, the class of 1954. in the town of Froid, the county of Roosevelt, and the state of Montana being in as good mental condition as usual, and in much better temper than usual, do hereby make this, our last will and testament. We feel that our brilliant record and our unusual achievements will Live after us, but, not wishing to take any chances, we suggest that a tablet, on which shall be inscribed out several names and a few of our most astounding deeds, be purchased and placed in the hall of the school in a position where it will strike the eye of all who enter. And in this manner do we dispose of our possessions: To the Junior Class, our rightful heirs, our most important and valuable properties, our importance and our wisdom, both of which we possess enormous quantities, and we hope said gifts will be of use in overcoming their present weaknesses. In addition to this, all of our privileges and rights as Seniors in classroom and assemblies, as well as any notebooks, pencils, fountain pens, unfinished suckers, or unfinished business, including debts contracted while en- gaged in the business of being a Senior. To the Sophomore Class we give our well-known nerve, which they will need next year, We also leave you our patience, it will be found useful as the only means by which you can endure the Juniors. To the Freshmen we leave our sophistication which we have noticed they lack. We also leave them our ability to get things done on time falthough we found no occasion to do this, you mayj, To the young and unsophisticated Freshmen-to-be we leave a little book entitled, How to Tell the Teachers , this is a pamphlet compiled by us after four years of hard study. You students will notice this book is not WHAT to tell the teachers but HOW. It contains information as to which teachers can be bluffed, which are easy and which are hard to please and those whom it is impossible to please. To our dear old school building itself, we leave the peaceful quiet caused by our absence and any apple cores, wads of gum, or crumpled notes we may have left about. To our teachers, the faculty of the Froid High School, we hereby give, free from all in- heritance. luxury, or income tax, our entire store of knowledge. From them it came and to them it should be returned, that others may be benefited by it as we have been. Also, we bequeath our valuable sense of humor, without which we should have found school life painful indeed and which will do much to make it endurable for them. Last, but not least, we bequeath to the teachers our very kindest regards and our sincere gratitude for their unfailing kindness and aid. To the future play casts, our varied and surprising talent--a talent that could interpret a character with so much originality that its own author wouldn't know it.

To the band. our ability to watch the leader and the audience at the same time. We may have lost a measure or skipped a beat in the music occasionally, but we never missed anything- or anybody--in the audience. To the undergraduate needing it most, we give Jimmie Westberg's supply of language, which will enable the recipient to talk more and say less than any other human being. To the over-ambitious undergraduate--if such there be--we leave the idleness of Fritz Wulf. Some people sit and waste time. Fritz just sits. To the laziest member of the Senior class-to-be, we bequeath Leona Luebke's ambition. If it is combined with the laziness previously mentioned the result will be normal activity. Naoma Buckendahl wills her speed on the typewriter to Gordon Krogedal. 'It helps some- times. Gordon. To Helen Johnson goes her ability to flirt with boys and to Harlow Strandlund she gladly gives her ability to Cut aRug. Her gift of going steady goes to all of the Froid gnu. Adeline Hekkel wills her height to Ervin Bakken, so he won't have to stand on his tiptoes to ah--dance with people. Her devoted attention to the library goes to the new freshman li- brarian. Leona Ltmbke wills her seat as solo clarinetist to Margaret Ryder, but- -don't spoil yotn' lips, Margaret. Her short blonde hair goes to Joyce Sundheim and her job as office assistant goes to Carl Nelsen. It will help take up a little of his extra time. Lloyd Mogen wills his acquaintances in Fairview to Bobby Urdahl. 'You need a change of girls, Bobby. He leaves his 'Romeo Tactics' to Gerald Schlagel, who seems to show no out- ward interest in girls, and his loudest tie to Manny Rued, who never seems to have one of his own. Judy Reiter wills her bad habit of studying to Donald Knudsen and her A in P.D.P. to Roger Grovom. To Clenard l.aMar she leaves her gum smacking. Don't ruin it. It comes in handy when people are trying to sleep or work. Romain Ryder wills his Plymouth, and also some of the passengers to Jerry Krohmer. He leaves his good looks to all the boys of F .H.S. fDon't fight over them, divide them equallyy. Oliver Urdahl leaves his curly red hair to Johnan Arvidson. He also wishes to leave his quietness to Jean Grobom and Janis Emswiler and his green Buick to Dale Eschenbacher. Jimmie Westberg leaves his ability to co-operate with the faculty to Archie Johnson, and his scholastic ability to Fred Tobiason. He wishes to leave the hair on his chest to Dennis Paul- son. Ut will help improve the appearance of his manly physique! lj Fritz Wulf sorrowfully leaves his physique to Alton Nelson and his eraser throwing ability to his little nephew, Roger Bertelsen. and his sarcastic wit to Duane Olson. His ability to al- ways be at play practice and to be there on time goes to the senior play cast of next year. ln witness whereof we, the class of 1954, have set our hand and seal on this 20th day of May in the year of 1954.
