? ? ? We, the class of 1953 of Hartwick High School, being of sound mind and memory, do make, publish and declare this our last will and testament. Ray Polulech leaves his car to his brother John in hopes that he gets the satisfaction out of it that Ray did. Mike Gregory leaves his earwiggling ability to Leland Beach. Joyce Bresee leaves her ability to “love ’em and leave ’em” to Ann Patterson. Dick Hayes leaves his excess weight to Don Brown. Bob Mack leaves his comb to Don Griffith in hopes that he’ll use it often. Patricia Hacklin leaves her innocent look to Mitzi Domion. Fred Striesse leaves his car to Carlton Roberts so he can pick ’em up as fast as Fred could. Fran Schweitzer leaves his ability of getting his own way all the time to Bob Smith. Jim Renwick just leaves-----------------. The ag boys leaves Miss Telfer a new Cornell bulletin. And we leave to Mrs. Green, the Junior class in hopes that she’ll work them as hard as she did us. Lastly, we appoint the future president of the incoming Seniors, executor of this, our last will and testament. This will, signed, sealed, published and declared by Patricia Hacklin. 21

Prophecy The census taker ran his fingers through his hair, loosened his tie, and reached for his briefcase. After he’d proped his feet up on his desk and found the particular paper he was looking for he laughed (a rather loud “horse laugh” that could only belong to Jim Renwick). For, in this day’s work of ringing doorbells and asking questions, Jim had gathered some information on this paper, about his graduating class of old Hartwick High. The only one who’s still in Hartwick is Bob Mack. Good old “Boob” is raising cows. Of course, Dick Hayes may still be in Hartwick. Nobody knows for sure, but some suspect he’s that oIcTfiermit hiding up on Christian Hill. The blond girl, Joyce Bresee, certainly makes headlines. Why, I bet she’s broken the record, even for Reno. She has a pretty good consultant and lawyer in Fred Striesse. I hear that she finds him a handy boy to have around. Jim chuckled out loud. Mike Gregory’s in the news too. A new generation of “Bowery Boys” has been formed and Mike Gregory, out of all the polished and sophisticated actors in Hollywood, has been picked to play “Catch” son of “Satch”. It has just been announced by the Baseball Hall of Fame that they’re reserving an alcove for the famous big league player Fran Schweitzer, now with the New York Yankees. He’s a real hero now and even has his picture on the Wheaties boxes. In the Indianapolis 500 Mile Championship Race last May, Ray Polulech made a dent with his souped-up “Hot to Go”. He astonished his fans by coming in last. Last on the list is Patricia Hacklin. She has a little novelty painting business of her own on Fifth Avenue called “Hackie’s Haven”. Jim folded up his paper, leaned back in his chair and roared with laughter. 23
