CLASS WILL We. the Class of '45, relinquishing all former claim to this mausoleum, do hereby bequeath this damp vault to the mortal re- mains of those entombed herein. With the deepest feelings of sympathy and compassion we leave this parchment as a fitting epitaph for those who here valiantly gave their lives in the futile pursuit of Education. To the underclassmen who repose in this burial mound, we will some grass seed to sow on their early graves. To the ghoulish juniors we wish to dedi- cate as a final requiem honoring their dead souls the composition Pomp and Circum- stance” as a fitting dirge for their last rites. To the termites, the school board, and the taxpayers we bequeath our light bills and other outstanding debts—the termites to gnaw on them, the school board to decide on them, and the poor taxpayers to pay on them. We award to Miss Morrison, for high bravery and valor above and beyond the call of duty, the Congressional Medal. She shall also be the recipient of a third Oak Leaf Cluster for meritorious service in the Smilin' Through Theater of War. To Mr. Nothdurft we leave a six-foot plot in Cutright Cemetery, so that when he retires, he'll have a bit of real estate to fall back in. I. Mary Ahlstrom. leave my scanty locks of hair to Jim Kavanaugh. my rival, to sup- plement his own. I. Robert Sledgister. leave my ability to hold my temper to Sonny Johnson and Yvonne Kowasch to nobody. I, Patsy Ems, leave my career at Wrig- ley’s Gum Factory to Miss Deames. I, Elbert Duckworth, leave my hot air to any country boy who has a windmill. I. Betty Talbert, leave my sense of humor to Dorothy DeFoe and my pleasing plump- ness” to Mrs. Pruett. I, Bill Crutchfield, leave all of my ability as a mixer of explosives to Mr. Bohannon, from whom I acquired my knowledge. I, Marianne Fleetwood, leave my moon- light maneuvers to Claire Anderson, while I, poor fish, devote the rest of my life to that great sediment love” and settle down as an army Bean (Jack Bean, of course). I, Kenneth Bornsheuer, leave to Mr. Jor- dan a little black book for the sole purpose of keeping track of the time future U. S. History students will have to make up. Let the following be their motto: “I’ll sit with my hands upon my desk And refrain from making myself a pest: I'll speak only when spoken to, Or I’ll be making up time for you.” I, Katharine Young, leave my hard-lead pencils to Mr. Wilkinson and my bubbling spirits to raise the water pressure in the drink- ing fountains so that one does not have to crawl inside to quench his thirst. I. Rosie Lopez, leave the ornaments I wear in my hair to Mary Colwell. I, Esteleen Day, leave my shorthand and typing ability to Virginia Gettel and my book on How to Become a Straw in U. S. History to Tom Fink. I, Jerry Yarger, leave my perfect” at- tendance record to Joe Foster and my mem- bership to the Gay Nineties” to Norris Blackwell. I. Jane Warrick, leave my voluminous army correspondence to Mary Agrue. know- ing she will keep it a military secret in the interest of all concerned—and who isn’t? I. Pat Cassidy, leave my class behavior to any sucker that doesn’t know me. 14 The 1945 Maroon and Black
