Senior Class History (Continued) The curtain rises on Act IV to find the actors so matured, so at ease, and so changed for the better that they are difficult to recognize. We have grown honestly fond of all the case. There is more comedy that before and there is more delightful interpolations, such as Sneak Day, Hobo Day, Senior Day, The Senior Play, and the usual and unusual parties. The actors who showed promise of being stars now shine brightly. They are as follows: Colleen Anderson, Anna Mae Elledge, Betty Jo Geis, Ola Bee Kimmel Reta Jane Hulett, Jolyne Penn, Wanda Suggs, Roma Lee Shipmen, Orlando Krause, Walter Linstead, Earl Gibson, Billy Miller, Marion Rollins, Chester Schmidt, and John David Shaw. The actors that weathered the villian Study for 12 years were Colleen Anderson, Wanda Suggs, Betty Jo Geis, Jolyne Penn, Chester Schmidt, Billy Miller John David Shaw, and Orlando Krause. They have now finished Study and met face to face, is found to be a friend. The play ends in a burst of glory, with flowers, music, and congratulations, mixed with tears—in short graduation exercises; and we have the well known and ever popular happy ending. SENIOR CLASS WILL Upon behalf of my client, the Senior Class of 1948, of Gotebo High School, State of Oklahoma, I have called you together to listen to her last will and testament, and to recieve from her dying hands the few gifts she has to bestow in her last moments. Realizing that she did not have much longer to live, she did collectively and individually deem it best to distribute these vices and virtures to those friends whose needs they best fill. Owing to the flighty condition of her worn out brain she may show apparent in- justice or partiality in the distribution of her effects. We trust, however, that you will pardon it and realize that it was caused by exhaustion of her brain, which was never over-active. I will appreciate your courteous attention while I read this duly attest- ed will. We, the Senior.Class of 1948, in the town of Gotebo, county of Kiowa, and State of Oklahoma, being in as good mental condition as usual and in much better temper than usual, do hereby make this our last will and testa- ment rendering void and of no avail any former will or wills that have been previously made by us during a period of temporary optimism. We are in such complete accord, sticking together and seldom think- ing, that in this manner dispose of our possessions. We give and bequeath to the Junior Class our sponsor Mr. Dacus, who hope will have a much easier time getting you through your last year with serious casualties than he did when he undertook to get us through. We also leave to the Junior Class our most important, and valuable properties namely our self-satisfaction, our importance and our wisdom all of which we possess in enormous quantities. We also leave the art of play- ing hooky and sometimes getting by with it.

Senior Class Will (Continued) To the Sophomore Class as a whole, we leave our ability to swipe pencils and paper, also our patience. They will have to have some to put up with the seniors of next year. To the Freshmen Class we leave the hope that they will have as happy a four years as we have had. To the faculty we leave our sincere wishes and thanks for all the information that we have gathered from our examinations and papers and the said information may be used as they see fit. To Mr. Phillips, our Janitor, we leave all of our gum hid under the seats, desks, and ets., also, all of the mud deposited in the corners the last four years. To the lunchroom ladies we leave our appetites which they can dis- tribute out among the weaker generation. Besides these bequests of the class as a whole the various individuals also give and bequeath the following: Betty Jo Wills her personality and cute giggle to Tommy Spottedhorse. Wanda June wills her height to Eddie Reynolds and pretty clothes to Athalie. Jolyne wills her influence over Mr. Oacus to Daniel Lindsey ( she says it isn’t very hard all it takes is Psychology.) Reta Jane wills her ability to get Mr. Dacus off of Psychology on to Politics to Jake Wright. Colleen wills her size and temper to Jane Duty Anna Mae wills her intelligence and personality to Keith Peters. Orlando wills his place to being center on the Basketball team to Ronald Schmidt. Walter wills his ability to borrow Mr. Dacus car to Denny Haxton. Earl wills his good luck in driving and his interest in Carnegie to Willard Ward. Billy wills his Toni wave to Gearl Harris Johnnie wills getting by at throwing erasers to Charles Weiss (just keep them hid in your pocket Charles and deny it if you are caught).
