CLASS WILL We, the omnipotent Seniors of the Class of 1953, hoping that we are about to graduate from, leave, or otherwise be evicted from this institution of learning, Sumner High School, suffering from an overdose of education, being faced with the cruel vicis- situdes of life, and trusting that we are of sound mind, and not acting under fraud, duress, or undue influence of any persons whatsoever, have banded together to draw up this, our last will and testament, so that we may dispose of our scattered and sacred possessions which have been acctunulated during our four years. The Seniors leave to the Juniors Room 14 and all the prestige that goes with it; the thrill of being Seniors; the anticipation of their graduation day, the hustle of writing Class Wills, Prophecies, Gifts, and Odes; the half-happy, half-sad feeling that school will soon be over; the certainty of getting caught while hurrying down the back stair- way at recess, and all other privileges, hopes, trials, and tribulations of Seniors. To anybody lucky enough to get it, w ' .e leave the task of carrying the trays to the Teachers’ room. The outgoing office girls bequeath to the incoming office girls the privilege of doing little errands for every teacher at the same time, the trials and tribulations of learning how to use the duplicating machine, the ability to spell everything right on the menu, and most of all, the pleasure of sitting in that squeeky chair in the office. John Sodergren bequeaths to any boy his ability to write such interesting, gruesome stories. Edward Spillane leaves his ability of playing basketball to Dennis Barry. The Uva twins bequeath to the Friese twins their ability to keep the teachers guessing. Marilyn Leonard and Pauline Cassani leave to any Junior girls capable ' of handling it, their continuous talk. Jeanne Buckley leaves to any one who likes to draw the fun of thinking up new ideas for decorations for class dances. To the incoming freshmen, we leave our ambitions and wishes to become a part of Sumner High School for four years, the loyalty to our basketball teams, and the fun of looking forward to having Room 14 for a home room. To all teachers, freshmen, sophomores, and juniors, we leave the fond memories of being the smartest class graduating from Sumner High. To the teachers and principal of Sumner High School, we leave our respect and admiration for the four years that they have made so pleasant for us. We leave to Mr. Neal’s class in Problems” those unforgettable discussions of life’s struggles. To Miss McCarthy we leave the hope of finding an assistant for her law class as helpful as Pauline Cassani. To Mr. Stodder we leave our heartful appreciation for the many kind things he has done for us. The law class leaves their arguing ability to anyone who thinks he can win a case with Miss McCarthy. To the incoming future drivers, we leave our school car. We hope you have as much fun as we did in it. Good luck! Pauline Cassani leaves her ability to make friends and her wonderful personality Paul Downey leaves to anyone who can fill the bill his ability to keep any classroom alive, anytime. Having thus disposed of all our worldly goods and possessions, we, the graduating class of 1953 of Sumner High School, do hereby deliver our last will and testament into the hands of the incoming seniors. So, as we embark upon the world beyond the diploma, this most solemn document is now witnessed by these venerable and revered personages. In witness thereof: LADY OF SPAIN OL’ MAN RIVER MR. CALLAHAN

SENIOR DRAMA CAST First Row: J. Snow, M. Loud, J. Buckley, A .Megley, A. Dana, Miss Anna Damon, Coach. Second Row: Mrs. Marjorie Lamkin, Coach, B. Gustavus, P. Cassani, I. Johnson, A. Marella, J. Boothby. YOUR FACE IS YOUR FORTUNE” Whoever made the statement, You can’t get along without men?” The girls of the Class of 1953 proved the fallacy of such a statement when they presented the exciting drama, Your Face Is Your Fortune” in a very pleasing fashion on April 17 with an all-girl cast. The play was given before a capacity house, and everyone agreed it was a great success. Although the rehearsals were rather tiring and required much hard work, a great deal of fun was hadi by the cast. The play, the story of an average family, took place in a small town similar to our town of Holbrook at the present time. Jonetta, a pretty girl whose ambition is to become a cover girl, was capably portrayed by Jeanne Buckley. Terry, her kid sister, was played by Audrey Dana. Pauline Cassani had the role of the famous photographer and defense worker, while Ann Marella played the part of Ros alie, Jonetta’s admiring girl friend. The roles of Mrs. Archer and her meek daughter Helene, were cleverly portrayed by Beverly Gustavus and Alice Megley respectively. Prue, the little girl who lisps, was played by Jean Boothby who certainly did an ex- cellent job with this speech defect. Of course, we must not forget Mom, who certainly had her hands full with her two lively daugh- ters. Mom was played by Marilyn Loud. Iris Johnson was Nan, a reporter, while Denise, the dancing teacher, played by Genevieve Kemp, and Corinne, the gown shop girl, portrayed by Judy Gilson were a needed addition to make the play a success. To Miss Anna Damon and Mrs. Marjorie Lamkin, who coached this play, the class is very grateful, for without their help and as- sistance, Your Face Is Your Fortune” would not have been so well received.
