CLASS HISTORY Glenn Smith heard of our class and left Hebron to join us in our Junior year. We have an idea, however, that he may have come because of a certain Miss, then in the sophomore class. We presented a very successful class play called “Sing for Your Supper.’ That year, one of our classmates, Joyce Xeuffer, showed her ability by winning the G. A. A. Cup. We also had a lot of fun putting 01 a Junior-Senior Prom. We presented another play in our Senior year entitled “Tiger House.” It was the first mystery presented in several years and was quite a successful production. Evelyn Kraker received the D. A. R. Award, awarded to the most outstanding girl in the senior class. Mona Chael came back to school that year to bring our class roll up to twenty-two. Our classmate, Beverly Perry, was still famous for attending her twelve years of school without missing one day. This is our class history for you to read. We have achieved much in our years of school and we are proud of our class. We are now, however, beginning to realize how much remains to be achieved. We leave Kouts High School with our class motto in our minds and in our hearts—“We entered to learn—we go forth to achieve.”

SENIOR WILL May I, as well as my lamented client, entreat that you receive your respective legacies in the spirit of unselfish friendship with which they were given? I shall appreciate your courteous attention while I read this duly attested will. We, the class of 1949, in the town of Kouts, the county of Porter, and the State of Indiana, being in as good mental condition as usual, and in much better temper than usual, do hereby make this, our last will and testament rendering void and of no avail any former will or wills that may have been previously made by us during a period of temporary optimism. We have no specific directions to leave concerning our funeral, but we do hope you will come prepared to praise as well as bury us, forgetting the trifling faults that may have been ours, and remembering only our manifold and remarkable virtues. We feel that our brilliant record and our unusual achievements will live after us, but, not wishing to take any chances, we suggest that a tablet, on which shall be insciibed our several names and a few of our most astounding deeds, be purchased and placed in the auditorium of the school in a position where it will strike the eye of all who enter. And in this manner do we dispose of our possessions. —Author Unknown. 1, JEAN ARNOLD, will my job in the cafeteria to anyone who wants it. I. BETTY BODAMER, will my quietness to JoAnne Curtis.
