 CLASS WILL We, the class of '49, being of sound (?) mind and body do hereby bequeath many of our most cherished wordly oossessions to those who will gladly receive them. Ruth Sherman leaves her date-bait'1 to Sue Hansen. You can get your man before Christmas now Sue. Norm Weaver leaves her noon-hour dates to Beverly Covell. It worked for Norm. Beverly Drake leaves her lonesome weekends to Bertha Shoutis. We understand, Bert . Olive Dablnett leaves her temper to Barbara Snyder who needs It to go with her red-hair. Georgeanna May leaves her ability to write 1-o-n-g letters to Reta Reichel. We noticed Reta reading letters from Germany. Lena Purvee leaves her quietness to Don Hudson. Hope it helps, Don. Yours truly Just leaves without saying anything. And the class of '49 with Mrs. Leland leaves the class of '50 and every class hereafter the best of luck. Jean Latson CLASS PROPHECY Being a little on the loony side, I have always been abl% to see into the future. I will now make an effort to see the senior class of '49, ten years hence. Ah-it's coming-it's coming-------I see---. Georgeanna May has founded the famous Wee Walt Inn , near the Lakehurst Naval Base, for herself and other girls who like the sea, and its many attractions. I see Norma Weaver running an instruction school for models. We always said Norma was good with figures. I see a horse! But wait! There's someone riding it—it's Olive Dablnett! I guess Ollie has learned to combine marriage and a career. She's raising colts kiddles to her hearts content. Lena Purvee is now and efficiency expert in the General Electric. I guess Lena took her business training at G. H. S. seriously. I see Jean Latson is a nurse in Johns Hopkins Hospital! Jean always said Bhe didn't like nursing. Must have been that handsome doctor I see her with that changed her mind. Bern Drake has turned out the season's funniest novel, My Man And I . It resembles The Egg And I somewhat, and is Bern's personal experiences, while following her soldier-husband around the country. Ruth Sherman is managing Dreamland , a roller-skating rink, exclusively for young people. Ruth always thought roller-skating was a swell place for meeting people.
