LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT of THE CLASS OF 1954 We, the Class of ’54, Grayville Community High School, City of Gray-ville, Township of Gray, County of White, State of Illinois, being of a slightly simple and unsound mind, lacking dignity but chuck-full of ambition, do hereby make, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament. We do hereby contradict all former statements, promises, or any other written declarations. Clause I To the faculty we do hereby will and bequeath a sweet and unbroken succession of restful nights and peaceful dreams. We also leave them the underclassmen; we hope they will be treated as well as the Seniors of ’54. Now that we are so heart-broken in our leaving, we leave peace and quiet which we are certain will be appreciated. Clause II To all the students of G.C.H.S the Class of ’54 leaves one wish, that you will remember us not as sophisticated seniors, but as just part of the gang. To the Juniors we will our co-operativeness as a class and our ability to enjoy ourselves in everything we undertake. To the Sophomores we will our happy-go-lucky ways. To the Freshmen we bequeath the strength to endure the strain of the remaining years at G.C.H.S and our great love for school. Clause III The following Seniors wish to leave to the following individuals our most admirable assets. Take them and use them wisely. 1. Janet Skiles wills her ability to hit curbs to Barbara Campbell. 2. Bob Bellamey wills his technique of charming girls to Charlie Balding. 3. Helen Burroughs wills her knowiedge of driving a pickup to Marilyn Mode. 4. Joe Deffendall wills his one-arm driving ability to Jim Bunting. 5. Jeanann Rough wills her modeling ideas to LaVada Fellows. 6. J. B. Hamilton wills his wise-cracks to Gene Salmon and Jim O’Donley. 7. Mary Nell Denton wills her ability to get sick on days of big tests to Judy Crocker. 8. Wanda Belew wills her calmness and quietness to Marjorie Lamont. 9. Jon Lennox wills his physique to Bob Marriott. 10. Willa Dillman wills her ex-boyfriends and changeable ways to Pat Fry. 11. Sam Knight wills his masculine voice to John Kuykendall. 12. Beverly Langford wills her love for cats to Wilma Marsh. 13. Van Munsey wills his trips to Crossville to Carl Enlow. 14. Elizabeth Lingafelter wills her talkative ways to Shirley Maglone. 15. Bob Rhinehart wills his “arys” and “narys” to Carmen Neal. 16. Virginia Morris wills her musical ability and inner qualities to the McFarland girls.
