Clas s Will fcontinuedj We express a wish that pupils next year may enjoy vacations as much as we have. We found the vacations to be a most enjoyable part of the school year. We advocate the shortening of the school day. The head of the average pupil is not large enough to hold all the knowledge that can be gained in the present long school day. We should either have larger heads or shorter school days. We leave this admission behind us as a warning to those who follow after us: Had we studied harder and labored longer, our sum total of knowledge would have been greater. ' We leave all the stubs from our lead pencils to the sheriff, so that he may have a wood pile on which to work the prisoners. It has been estimated that 103 cords of wood were contained in the pencils we have used this year in our studies. We request that Mr. Shambarger have a printed bulletin distributed to all high school students next year. The bulletin is to contain a list of all of the worthy things that we did while we were in high school. We believe that one of the best ways to impress boys and girls with a desire to become great is to let boys and girls read about about people who are great. That is the reason we think they should read about us. To our teachers, we leave all the happy--at least we hope they are happy--memories of the days when they taught us in classrooms. We hope as they look into their mirrors that they will not see too many gray hairs placed there by worrying about us. I, Nancy Cunningham, will and bequeath my laziness to Janet Allman. I, Patsy Raber, will and bequeath my ability to play my clarinet to Barbara Miller. I, Delores Donaldson, will and bequeath my love for basketball players to Judy Benedict. I, Janet Benedict, will and bequeath my love for guys with Chevrolet cars to Shirley Burrous. I, William D. Miller, will to Fred Carpenter, the right to quit book-A keeping after the first semester. I, Jack L. Holden, will and bequeath my brutishness and manly look to Lanny Clark. I, Oden McClain, will and bequeath my ability to roll marbles in the assembly, provided he doesn't get caught, to Stanley Eikenberry.

It doesn't seen that long since I stood with the graduating class that fine late spring night and received my diploma from high school. The old gang certainly has scattered. Wonder what they are all doing now? Now, what do you know about this ? My picture in the paper already! Well, I guess from now on I'll be a popular person. Being nominated to run for congress makes a person popular all right. I've had fifty callers al- ready this morning--people who want to be appointed to political offices when Oden McClain is their congressman. Well, well, I see we are going to have colder weather. Beats all how those weather prophets miss the weather. They never come within several miles of being right. Guess a weather observer gets a good salary. Well, when we were all in high school no one ever would have thought that Jim Snyder would become the one to dish out the weather to us. Can't say much for some of the weather he hands us. What's this ? New underground passage across the Atlantic to be opened June lst. The first tunnel to span the Atlantic Ocean will be put into use this summer. Speed ships will zip through the tunnel at the rate of 500 miles per hour. The hazard of flying will be counteracted by the safety of the tunnel. It is estimated that Z, 000, 000 travelers will go across the ocean before the end of the year in the tunnel cars. Chief Engineer, Bob Allman, has already been decorated by five countries for this engineering feat which is considered the greatest undertaken by civilized man. Here's something interesting. Looks like someone has finally invented a new kind of alarm clock--one that will really work. The kind of alarm we used to have when I was in high school generally failed to work when we needed it, and it always awakened us when we wanted to sleep. I notice that a patent has been granted to Bill Miller, under patent number 457889324, for a new silent alarm clock. Well, anything to take the noise out of this world. There's entirely too much noise. Only yesterday a group of Seniors stopped under my window and gave some high school yells. Pesky Seniors! Wonder what the sports page has on it today. I'm anxious to see how the races came out yesterday at Colorado Springs. Ha! Now wouldn't that jar you! Delores Donaldson's horse came in first. Guess she has a fine stable all right. Old Fleefast certainly made all the other horses take to the tall
