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.

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.

i Y N I j Ll NX i 1-- QQF4 pw M, mit-364,32 Looking at the future lives of all of our cadets, I see written in the Stars, the following prophecy: At our first glimpse, we see Jimmie Westberg sitting at his desk high atop the largest Marshell-Wells store in the state, which is located at Homestead. Three years after graduation. Jimmie was married to a red-headed graduate of 1956. They have two red-haired children who Uimmie hopesj are planning to follow in their father's footsteps. Looking a little to the West, we see Adeline Hekkel, who is secretary to the president of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. She goes on all of the traveling engagements for her boss and at present is in Europe locating a new location for a forthcoming movie. You remember how quiet Adeline used to bel Well, she's changed, and now talks from the time she gets up until the time she goes to bed. She's doing quite well in the romance department, too. She has been engaged four times in the last four months. Romain Ryder is farming all of the land between Wolf Point and the State Line. I asked him about a girl and he just shrugged his shoulders and said, Not me. But I heard he is going to Hawaii soon, and in Hawaii--who can tell! Leona Luebke is married to a former air force ace and is living in Dagmar with her small family of five lively youngsters. She does dental work in her spare time, but just the other day, she said, I have so many teeth to fix at home nowadays, that I don't have time to go uptown and work anymore. Oliver Urdahl has achieved the great success that his teachers had anticipated for him. He is now running for his second term as President of the United States. At the head of his campaign committee are his lovely wife and four lovely daughters. He says that after this term he plans to retire. After all, with five million dollars you can do a lot--and he is only forty-five, you know. Judy Reiter is teaching in a little country school just out of McCabe, with only six students. She is planning to retire quite soon because she says that with ALL the money you make as a teacher she doesn't understand why there are so many teachers who haven't retired before they are thirty. I bet her retiring is just an excuse because I heard that she is going to hear wedding bells in June. To the East of Froid about twelve miles, we find Lloyd Mogen. He is residing in the city which has been named 'Mogenville' after Lloyd. He was walking down the road one day and stumbled over a rock and fell. The pencil which was in his pocket stuck in the ground and caused the oil to come to the surface. Lloyd hasn't been married yet, but there are rumors that a marriage will take place in the near future, so I suppose Lloyd will be leaving for parts un- known soon. Every time she just about gets him to the altar he leaves town. Maybe he just doesn't want to get married. Just for old times sake, Lloyd raises chickens as a hobby. A stop at the big house on the comer will find us at Naoma Buckendahl's home. She has been married for six years and has two lovely sets of twins. She quit teaching school soon after she was married, because she had too much to do. To keep from getting out of practice, though, she still substitutes once in a while just for the fun of it. While we are visiting Naoma, we will also see Fritz because he lives at the same address. They were married the summer that Fritz graduated from television school. He now broadcasts every morning over station Y-O-U in McCabe. His favorite program is the 'Cooking School of the Air. Time in sometime but don't be surprised if you see Naoma washing dishes on his program. Fritz says that if he has to do ALL of the dishes at home, she can come down to wash the few dishes that he dirties on his fifteen-minute program.
