We, the Senior Class of Ionia High School, City of Ionia, State of Michigan, having suffered this endless grind for four years Without protest, do hereby publish and ordain this, our last will and testament, while we are still of sound mind. ARTICLE I We, the Senior Class, do leave to the Board of Education, the new junior high building to complete and manage. We regret that we shall not be around to assist. ARTICLE Il To the Faculty we leave the credit of our fine record and the underclassmen to watch over. ARTICLE III To the junior class we leave our outstanding popularity, for we know that our passing will bring great sadness to their hearts. To the sophomores and freshmen we leave our dependability and sense of humor, the latter to be used when in the presence of upperclassmen. ARTICLE IV fPersonal Bequestsl I, Lorana Kauffman, do leave the worry of meeting the Spot- light deadline to Rus Gregory. May he carry on with a strong frame of mind, nerves of iron, and plenty of food on Thrusday nights. We, Ioyce Winchell and Carol Youngs, do leave our ability to be late to Senior English to anyone who can invent a slower walking pace than we did. We don't believe it can be done. I, Don Martin, do leave my ability to blow, horns and other- wise, to Rus Scholtens and Gary Moore. It'll take them both. I, Chris Harder, do leave my steadfastness and dependability on the scrimmage line to Ed Demorest, who's quite an old block himself. I, Chuck Langdon, do leave my incomparable ability to make people laugh to Harvey VanVleck. Take it easy, Harvey. I, Dorothy Eddy, do leave my worn-out soda scoop to Beverly Kneale. We, Hanulcik, Heppe, and Nelson, Inc., do leave our dreams of gold-hunting in South America to anyone who can find a way to get there. I, Margie Thomas, do leave my overflowing wardrobe to Ianet Rademacher, who has an excellent start. I, LaVern Raab, do leave my ability to see over the heads of six-footers to lack Husted, who would probably like the chance. I, Gerry Wilder, do take the liberty of leaving my father's 'Sl Pontiac to anyone who needs an excuse for getting home late, I, Ioan Hiqbee, do leave my knack for doing two things at once to Pauline Hafner. I, Huah Hodges, do leave-at last. I, Dick Peabody, do leave my Boy Scout hat and duties to Bob Slater. I, lim Lewis, do leave my versatile character to the entire juniors class, to divide up and absorb as they see fit. I, Dwight Stewart, do leave my gavel and weary-with-pleading vocal chords to Karl Gierman, who will need them if he is elected senior president next year. I, Mary Io Dodes, do leave my long, blonde tresses to Betty deGroot, if she decides to grow hers out again. We, the Senior Class, do leave the premises of Strawberry Knob to any underclassrnen who desire an aerial view of Ionia at night. We hereby appoint Lloyd T. Smith as sole executor of our last will and testament. Signed, The Senior Class of 1948 Signed, Lorana Kauffman Notary Public Dorothy Eddy My commission expires lune 11, 1948 20
