— 1961 ORACLE — SENIOR CLASS HISTORY (continued) Big wheel seniors at last! No upper classmen to boss us around! We were looking forward to initiating the freshmen, even when we were in grade school; figuring out what class we’d get to punish. Then that day came . . . and it ended with Kangeroo Kourt for the violators. It was all in fun. A new thing was started this year: the football team, basketball boys and girls really looked sharp in their snazzy blazers. They really represented our school well, not only in playing and winning their games, but most of all, in their appearance, es- pecially the seniors. The last homecoming of our class was represented with the royal four as Joan Noonan, queen: Harry Graves, king; and Annelie Bohrensen and Esther Denny, attendants. The class began their last year without Mary Aldrich and regained Gary Tibbetts. We also met a new face belonging to Jean Samuelson. As the enrollment of our class increased throughout the thirteen years, we always seemed to lose some: we lost Keith Lorch and Marge Gathman during the year. We will always remember our days at the Hartley School whether they were good or bad. So now, the class of ‘61 must step aside and let another class follow in our footsteps. We will rise higher: for the view will be better. LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE CLASS OF 1961 We, the entire class of 1961, composed of a few sound minds and a few more strong bodies, do hereby bequeath and bestow upon you lucky or unlucky juniors the following traits and characteristics, of which we may or may not be proud. I, Jim Beck, leave my nicknames to Larry Engeltjes and Jim Schwien so the teachers will be really confused next year. I, John Beck, leave my knack for annoying Mr. McKinstrey to Danny Boyer so government class will be kept loud and lively. I, Annelie Bohrensen, leave my basketball ability to my sister, Inge, to keep it in the family. I, Lynn Byers, leave my appendix to all the girls in Biology, so they will have something interesting to study. I, Marla Byers, leave my position as Pep Club president to Bonnie Schmidt. I, Craig Cooper, leave by FFA judging skill to John Heimsoth and my pigs to Charles Smith to keep Ag class in good shape. I, Kelly DeBoer, leave my baking ability to Gloria Hebbel and Beverly Heuer so they can learn how to bake cookies without soap. I, Esther Denny, leave my cheerleading ability to Cheryl Dornbusch to help lead the teams to victory. We, Janis Donnenwerth and Joan Noonan, leave our sack lunches to Mar- jorie Linder and Glenda Reinke so they can stop counting calories. I, Gale Ewoldt, will my love for polkas to Geraldine Doherty and Martia Dodson to heln keep Neebel's thriving. Page Eighteen
