To some unfortunate male member of the next class who has a brush haircut is bequeathed one head of lovely curls. Here's hoping he can keep them as crisp and neat as Auggie Ruggerio dees. Ruth Remus wills her office tasks of running errands, answering phone calls, and her favorite of all. licking postage stamps (peppermint flavor) to Mrs. Ertmann's next office-production helper. To the students who are capable of carrying such loads. Chuck Vorell leaves his corny jokes (cobs and all). To joe Sebes and others who take metal. Carl Hildebrandt presents a cake of scouring soap (you know. Lava) to clean their hands after trying in vain to clean the greasy lathes and presses. Dorothy Drda confers upon the next star cooking student her sparkling white cap and apron. May she have as much trouble keeping them as clean and neat as Dorothy does. Robert Beal leaves his 50-yard dash record to anyone who can beat it. Come on. you turtles, start a runnin'. With pleasure Ronald Avon leaves the rusty nails and dull saws to the next boy who takes woodwork in hopes that some day he can build his own home. To the next senior sheik Al Dadich leaves the next senior sheba. Bet yours isn’t as pretty as ours. Don Friedl leaves his math book to the next person in Miss Taylor's math class who has as hard a time as he has in keeping it shut (even in homeroom). The “Mad Chemist'' in our class. Richard Cold, leaves room 307 for future chemistry students to go into for study during all their free periods; that is. if they can stand the hydrogen-chloride odor that seems to prevail at all times. To all girls who take clothing. Allean Penner leaves the happy task of picking up ends of threads after sewing a dress. What's going to happen in your own home. Allean? Ernie Kline and Richard Tytko leave their ability (?) to make plastic objects to all underclassmen who take plastics. Which is easier, shining an apple for the teacher or buffing a cigarette case, fellows? Step right up. kids, and get your free cakes of Woodbury soap that Howard Behrend is giving to anyone who would like to have that skin you love to touch look. (Quit your pushing, the line forms at the right). Witnesses: U. R. Knutty G. U. Giggle V. B Silly — Sixteen —

LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT By VICTORIA BOCCUZZI and VIRGINIA ZERBE We. the January class of 1948, being of sound mind (well, we think so) and body, do hereby bequeath, bestow, confer, give, will, and that ain't all. we present on a silver platter (because no one else wants them) the following things: To our principal E. J. Bryan, our spokesman. John Seigmund. presents a life legacy of gratitude and thanks as partial payment for all that he's done for us. Concetta Caro and Marianne Malaga, speaking for all of us. bequeath Miss Taylor and Mrs. Mickey a succession of restful nights, peaceful dreams, and sweet, unbroken slumber. They deserve it after having senior homerooms. don't you think? George Robertson, our esteemed president, leaves to the next senior class president his dilapidated, bcat-up. and worn-out gavel, with which to get the undivided attention (or at least the divided attention) of the senior class. Marge Straka leaves her shorthand book to the next shorthand IV class as she goes on to her “Refresher Course. Our Football Queen. Dorothy Beckman, presents the crown to the next lucky queen who has high-pressure salesmanship. Laura Morris is leaving nothing behind her; she is taking him along. Having become a great connoisseur of flowers. Clarence Feldtz leaves his task as Flower Committee Chairman to the next senior who has a keen sense of smell. Jean Gallo wills all the chairs with the rough edges to some other girl to snag and ruin her new nylons on each day. To all undergraduates George Relock wills the Ohio State Psychological Test. May you also have hours (four to be exact) of fun in answering questions you know nothing about. Willa Mae Holt leaves to Miss Stoll future gym leaders who look good from the neck down. How about you, Willie? Have you stopped chewing gum yet? As John Tyrpak told us. quote. “I just leave, period; and. all of Lincoln will be happy. unquote. Ah. now Johnny, don't say such things: you know we all love you. To Raymond, if ever he needs a new squeaky door. Edith Frederick bequeaths her Inner Sanctum locker with the hope that he can make some use of all the squeaks and creaks. To the school John Lajewski bequeaths his old and tattered band uniform on the condition that it be turned over to some museum as a relic of by-gene days. How about having it mounted on a plaque and put in the main hall? Vicky Boccuzzi tearfully wills all the dirty tables, milk bottles, and lunch bags to future Lincolnettes whose duty it becomes to dispose of everyone's left-over trash. Bob Zacharias confers upon some other “lucky art student in 208 his desk, which somehow so mysteriously accumulated a miscellaneous collection of junk that seemed to belong to no one in particular. What girl is interested in a star position on the Harvard-Yale Basketball squad and the captaincy of the All-Star Volley Ball Team? Dorothy Lung reluctantly leaves behind these hallowed positions. — Fifteen —

CLASS PROPHECY One afternoon recently the publicity committee spent a grueling four and a half hours trying to work out the class prophecy. We had little success and finally went home without completing anything. Imagine our surprise when the next morning at school we learned we all had dreamed the same thing. Remembering that old saying, Dreams come true.” we decided this dream might be a prophecy of the future; so we are recording it for you. The year is 1958. and we are extremely lucky to have secured tickets for the grand premiere of the widely advertised musical comedy. Virgie. Get Your Bow and Arrow.” written by the distinguished playwright, novelist, and poet. Violet Wawrzynski. who has recently returned from a public appearance in London. Making the change from the cinema to the legitimate stage is Virginia Zerbe, the charming and vivacious leading lady. The star comedian of the country, that lovable genial “Bob Hope” of this era. johnny Skibo. is her leading man. The place is jammed: all 20.000 seats of the new enlarged Hanna Theatre are filled, with hundreds of persons standing. All this is due to the superb salesmanship of john Babjak, President of the We‘11 Get You One Way or Another, So Why Not Buy Now Ticket Agency. We hope he doesn't forget to send twenty percent of the receipts to Sharon Sievert. who is head of the Ohio State Revenue Office. Hurrying backstage to renew old acquaintances after ten long years, we are swept along by a bevy of shapely chorus girls as they madly rush to find the head dancing mistress. Senorita Mary Ann Skorepa. After escaping from this mass of feminine pulchritude, we go on our way to see some of the other notables from every field who have banded together to make the show a hit. In the wardrobe room Madame Ruthie La Pcdlesak. the well-known Parisian dress designer, has outdone herself with her gorgeous costumes. Ziggy Sawicki has created some of the most beautiful sets that have ever been seen on any musical comedy stage. And to think he got his start at Lincoln High! In the orchestra pit directing the all-girl orchestra is Lincoln’s own Florence Potichny. For old times' sake her girls are wearing maroon and white uniforms. The distinguished looking woman with the worried look who is talking to Carol Cannon, the luscious new Hollywood starlet, is Alice Kabat of Kabat Women’s Bank of America. Miss Kabat is financing the show; but if rehearsals are any indication of success. Alice has nothing to worry about. A precedent in radio-television is being established tonight by those two great W's of radio. Weider and Wagner of station WWWW. They will make it possible for people all over the world to see the stars as they enter the theatre on this great night. Suddenly there falls upon our ears the sound of thunderous applause. The time has flown by and the first act is over; so we cautiously peek from behind the wings to see who in Who's Who” is in the audience. In the first row we see Arlena Pearlina Soskivinia and Edwardo Bobuls-kavich, those two great Met stars who are in town for the opening of the opera season. Sitting directly behind them is a dignified gentleman who must be Frederick Brunarski, that great scientist who has discovered the solution of the housing problem, a prefabricated house in capsule form. — Setnmte.en —
