A if ? ' Q4 Class Will P K x 1 K is Be it remembered that we, the Class of l953, of Leo High School, Situated in the town of Leo in the County of Allen in the State of Indiana, being in our usual unsound state of mind and memory, but mindful of the un- certainty of this life, and our approaching dismemberment, do make, publish and declare this our last will and testament, hereby revoking all former wills by us made. After the payment of all our iust debts, funeral charges, grudges, and expenses of administration, we dispose of our estate as follows: To the professors and teachers of Leo High School, we convey our ability to know a good thing when we see it. As this ability has been largely created by their instructions, we are merely returning to them their own invaluable gift. To the Junior Class, we give our seats in the study hall, including our initials inscribed upon the desks, erasers, bobby pins, spitballs, pieces of chalk, and cuds of gum which we neglected to remove in the haste of our departure. May these small tokens help them to while away a year of senior learning as they have us. To the Sophomore Class, we convey our power of saying the wrong thing in the right place, or the right thing in the wrong place. Just how this is accomplished we are not able to say. Each one will need to work the matter out for himself or herself. There is no doubt that much benefit will result from the effort. To the Freshman class, we have nothing left to bequeath but a lot of good advice. Do not study too hard, for it will make you sick and unhealthy, and no future employer wants a sickly graduate. Laugh heartily at all your teachers' iokes even though you are hearing them for the hundredth time. Always carry a lot of books with you to and from school and classes but never look within their covers. The inside pages of your school books are laden with microbes from the contaminating use of former classes. We, the Senior Class of '53 do hereby bequeath our numerous possessions thusly: l, Ronald Shaw, do will my detective ability to the four Junior Bandits--Tom Ostermeier, Larry Schlatter, Ross Weilbaker, and Phil Howard. l, Marjorie Bauman, will my ability of telling iokes to Wayne Dearinger and my dimples to anyone who doesn't have them. l, Don Dean, will my ability to tear car motors apart without half trying to Lee Shaffer.
