SENIOR CLASS WILL We, the Senior Class of 1953, realize that the time is drawing near when we must depart from this domain of complete pleasure and happiness. Being sound in health, mind, and memory, we make, publish, and declare this writing to be our last will and testament. First of all we, the Seniors, leave to the underclassmen, all gum under the desks, all initials in the tables, and our tattered books. Joann Bohrofen wills her ability to get her dad's car every night to Charlie Stefani. Beverly Peterson wills her typing ability toBruce Andrus. Maybe now he can get those assignments done. Joyce Weiser wills her ability toget a Waukee class ring toCarolyn Kallem pro- viding Carolyn can keep it as long Jean Oyres wills her talkative Twila doesn't use it to the extent Bob Wooters willshis car driving doesn't scare himself to death. Will Weiser leaves his bus route all, a bus holds more anyway. Shirley Madison wills her pretty as Joyce has. ways to Twila Seibert. Our only hope is that that Jean does. ability hoLaVerne Greig in hopes that LaVerne toanyone without a car tnrun around in. After and neat hair to Karen Grimm. Duane Fullerton leaves Betty Tuttle toRoger Bloomfield and Francis Guess. You can fight over her yourselves now, boys. Bob Slauson wills his red bleached hair to Jym Biddle. Dale Johnson wills his school-skipping ability to Ed Baer. We only hope that Ed has a better excuse than to say he is going to work. Jean Oyres wills her many boyfriends to Lois Wieser. Shirley Madison wills her telephone conversation ability to anyone who wants to fight with a certain Waukee boy. Joann Bohrofen wills her good grades to her little sister, Janice. Joyce Weiser wills her basketball ability to Carol Gintzell. Duane Fullerton wills his old wrecked Ford to anyone who will have it and take better care of it than he did. Will Weiser wills his ability to get Jym Biddle's answers all the time,to Mar- ilyn Bohrofen, as if she'll ever need them. Beverly Peterson wills her man troubles to Kay Adrian. By the looks of it now, Kay never has any trouble. Dale Johnson wills his Romeo ways Che thinks anywayj to Dennis Bohrofen. Bob Slauson wills his class ring to any girl who is sucker enough to take it, We only hope she kee s it for at least one whole week. Bob Wooters wills he Urbandale girls to Roger Bartelt.
