Claw Will We, the seniors of Jefferson Township High School, Class of '57, having attained the superlative degree of learning from our most educated teachers, have had our character and reputation ripened until we have come to be known as the best manner- ed well-spoken class as yet to graduate- During our years at this beloved school, where the dearest and best are met, we have accumulated many items which we feel will do us no good on the outside - It is with deep reverence that we are giving these invaluable items to the remaining students and teachers- We sincerely hope that they will be cherished by all and used to bring about the maximum in pleasure and profit- We will and bequeath to the juniors the wonderful thrill and sense of accomplishrnent that can come only from cleaning up the gym after a ball game- To the microscopic- minded juniors we wish also to leave our ability of being the most highly educated of persons in this building- We will and bequeath to the sophomores, who have their own inimitable style of writing, any old bits of chewed-up pencils and eraser shavings they might have the good fortune to find.

Prophecy As the Earth gracefully comes over the crystal-clear horizon, I began to set the tri- pods on my super-duper-cinerama-camera with my extra long-range sound recorder- Upon bringing the Earth into view and focus, I began the search for my fellow classmates of 6l57l!. The first ex-senior that I located was the well-noted opera singer Ann Romine , singing before 20,000 Colorado opera critics The Eyes of Texas Are Upon Y'al - Then through the eye of my super-duper-cinerama-camera I saw Alfred Hetzner and his ten little kids scaling up the highest rock formation in the Grand Canyon Qundoubt- ly prospecting for Uraniuml- As the Earth slowly turned I lost view of Alfred: and the next thing I knew Tom Brown flashed on the screen- Already one gun was empty, and he was drawing the other from its holster- Minutes later it was all over: mashed men were lying all over the placei and Injuns were hanging by their toes from the rafters of the saloon- It was the fifth time that day Tom had saved the town of Red-Dog from the Siouan Winnebago Indians and the Big Jim Brady gang Qproduced by M-G-M-5 color by technicolorl- As the Earth turned and my super-duper-cinerama-camera moved across the ocean, I came upon a heart-breaking sight- Robert John Eric Mensing was marooned on a tropical island fwith hundreds of native girlsl- Of course I will notify a rescue party when I get back ten years from now- As the Earth slowly turned, Ifinally got view of the continent of Asia- There on Red Square on a platform in front of a statue of Washington was Shirley Miller - Every morning she reads the constitution of the U.nited States of America to the entire Russian army and makes them pledge allegiance to our flag- Lowering my camera one' degree S- S-E-, I set my long range sound recorder to pick up all available noises- Within moments it was receiving a noise that sounded like a rocket K88J- Sure enough there was Chester Miller in the middle of Saudia Arabia drag-racing with a camel- QThey were neck and neck-Q Lowering my camera one more degree S-S-S-, I came upon an ex-senior in distress- There in the African jungle was Dick Awker - Dick was doing missionary work with a tribe of head hunters : and they were getting ready to burn him at the stake for calling their chieftain a heathen- F ortunatly it wasduringthe rainy season, and they cou1dn't find any dry wood-
