S., of the city of Houstonia, county of Pettis, and state of Missouri, being of sound mind and memory, do hereby make, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament. Ray Allen Shireman wills his easy-going ways to Pepper Messer and his seat in stud hall to Jerry Edwards. Doris Smith wills her ability to write shorthand to the following short- hand class and her position as catcher on the softball team to Tiny Gerlt. John Borohers wills his ability to go to sleep during classes to Betty Stephens and his job at the Oasis to one who wants it any . Willis Charles wills his ability to play basketball to Jim Phillips and his flirty ways to Lloyd Hayslip. Anna Jane Butterwiok wills her eagerness to learn to the freshmen and her typing ability to the coming typing class. Wanda Phillips wills her ability of getting a letter a day to all the girls with guys in the service and her neatness to the students at H. H. S. J. T. Smith wills his height to Marlene Carver and his black hair to Bar- bara Reid. Lavina Cornine wills her dark eyebrows to David Harris and her quiet ways to Elma Jane Morris. Marion Gregory wills his sleepy ways to Mary Tuckwiller and his class ring to Norma Bechtel. Mary Catherine Charles wills her ability of arguing with the teachers to Jean Mitchell and her ability to catch a man to Goldie Welch. Betty Lou Hayworth wills her small feet to Lloyd Shlreman and her mischiev- ous ways to Virginia Schondelmeyer.

Dorothy Rayl wills her volleyball suit to Joyce Charles and her pleasing personality to Vonnle Bratton. Betty Jane Walk wills her short hair to Betty Jo Reid and her old boy- friends to Tootsie Walk.

Judy Blackburn wills her shorthand book to anyone who has 85 to pay for it and her ability to always get the car to any lucky fellow. Last, we leave to the juniors all the flying erasers, broken chalk, messy study halls, and torn-up books. We leave to the sophomores our good luck, they'll need it in their remain- ing years. We leave to the freshmen a map of the school building so that they will not get lost or roam about in everybody's way looking for their class rooms.

The Class P o fzecy As we loek far into the future, it is now 1965. We see Wanda Phillips, a clerk in the Woolsworth Dime Store in New York City. Coming into the store is the former Mary Charles. She has come to buy something for little August. Just down the street we see the biggest night club in New York City. It is owned and operated by John Borchers. As we come out of John's place, we get into the speediest taxi cab in New York City. It is driven by Anna Jane Butterwick. She takes us, on three wheels, to Yankee Stadium where we see Willis Charles and Dorothy Rayl play- ing in the World Series. Each has hit 65 home runs this season. Now we take a long flight to Texas, on the T W A Airlines. Our steward- ess is Doris Smith. We land at the big Gregory Horse Ranch owned by Marion Gregory. There Lavina Cornine is starred in a rodeo. She is, nThe Lady Rodeo Star of the U. S. A.' While we are there, twenty-two of the Gregory horses get poisoned and are thought to be dead, but Veternarian, Ronald Collister comes to the res- cue. He gives them 'XZZJO8' discovered by the great scientist, Ray Allen Shireman, now working on the K Bomb. Now we get aboard Doris' flight to go to Chicago where we see the great nLady Wrestlern, Lena Howard, in action. Her manager, Speed Smith, tells us that she hasn't lost a fight in ten years. Maybe this is due to Speed's good management. But sltting next to the ring, just in case, is Lena's private physician, Dr. Duane Schelp, and assistant nurse, Judy Blackburn. After we all survive this exciting night, we are invited to attend the lecture given by Betty Hayworth, the ambassador to Zaroostrian. We are being entertained by Betty Jane walk, who has taken Margaret Truman's place, since the last election, as the greatest opera singer of the world.
