ways to Chloe. Weed we sry noro 10 10 K 4 34 We the Senion Class of '48 belnq of unsound mind and sound body do make this our last will and testament. We wish to bequeath to each 'nd every class in the assembly our sbilitj tc pet along with each other. We have found by bitter experience that to succ- eed, you must love one another, even if you do think the other person is a stinkerl . Next we wish to leave the North row of seats, with all the scratches, carvings, etchings and so en along with any old pen cils and paper you might find in them to the first ten or fifteen kids who arrive first to grab those dear old desks next fall. Each senior wishes te will the following to these people: Fred wills his ability to gd along with tue oirls to Russell Budd and may he have a jolly good time. .

Darwin take notice of all the scholarships, honors and so on that Paul has won and still he has hed time for music, sports, and a few In the year 1968 my work led me to make a research on pro- gressive education. To take me on my nation-wide survey, I choose as my means of transports tion the new, popular electrome- bile. It was developed and per- fected by Robert Henderson. The ante emits electrons and the electrometive field becomes so intense as it nears approaching objects that the ruto is repell- ed, thnsfmwklnq adcidenm huposs- ible. It was expecially devel- oped for the lnventor's own safe tv., Hecause of unfavorable condi- tions I was forced to prolong my stay in New York. To re- lieve the monotony, I went to see a baseball game7 between the Brooklyn Dodgers and new York Yankees. I was fortunate to ob- tain sn excellent seat just bo- hlnd the back stop. When the Brooklyn catcher turned around to retrieve s ball, I wfs amazed to see the familiar face of Paul VnnA1stine. Imagine that, cat- ching for the Brooklyn Dodgers. It seems incredible but even more astounding was the old man setting two rows ahead of me making a ferocious racket. Lo and behold! it was my one time athletic director, Edward Gar- look. qirls. We wish you good luck with you newly acquired skill. Dorothy Maitland wills her snappy temper to that easy going Alice McKlm who never takes of- fence te anything. Also there are a couple of undesirable Characters, or at least Dorothy thinks so, that she would like to leave to the sophomore girls who are at the moment quite wor- 'iedottittwllisntiiniiiii think- ing and actions behind the steer inn wheel of h1s--car-- to John Tjehbens who has s dreadful time trying to drive with one hand. Sophie wills her studlous nature and determination te get ahead to John Ferry. W0 have thought if over seriously, .John and we have decided that of all the desirable trrits we could leave you, this will do YOU the most good. ,Beverly Nielsen wills her hbility to talk herself our of any revolting development to Jan et McFadzen. May she always find a wry out. Garland wills his great de- votion to a certain girl to Gerald Kerns who is still scout- ing, May he find hor soon.

By the way, speaking of old classmates, I received a letter from an old friend informing me that Charlene Budd after a suc- cessful coreer of toachinr, has settled down to a blissful married life. My friend is a poo: writer so I was unable to dis- t'nqulsh oart of it but sue said sonethlng about Coils. I crn't see the connection. Guess what! -he also informs ed me that Freddie is a success- ful salesman. he has developed a new type of cigarettes and chewing tobacco and has a million dollar business. I My first step on the tour was in Chicsgoz I was informed that the Franklin Delano Roosevelt School was noted for it's pre- gressive methods of education and that the inspiring teacher is Pee 0'Neall. After talking some time with Miss Olhesll, I learned that her business sec- retary is Dorothy Maitland. After leaving Chicago I stop- ped in my old home town. It was Saturday night when the train pulled into the station' and as anew I walked up the street a car pulled up with R gcreech, A lady carrying a basket of eggs and the man a can of cream went into the produce station. I asked an old timer setting on a general bench in front of the store who they were, he said nYou must be a stranger in these here parts. Nhy, that's hr. and Mrs. Garland Westerman, he's one of the most prosuerous farmers in these here parts. I said, I thought they were plannlnq on business careers.u 'Well, its like this, Garland gave up his commission in the Navy to marry sev, who had req tired from stewardess service, so here they are the most pros- perous and happiest family in the country with. four kids--two sets of twins!
