Class Will By VIVIAN WISH and MELVIN NEWBOUID We, the CLASS OF JUNE, 1950, being proved of sound body (those are bodies?) and mind (those are minds?), do hereby will and bequeath certain choice specimens of our property, real or unreal, paid for or not paid for, material or immaterial, mature or immature. Don't all come rushing at once! To Mr. E. J. Bryan, our principal, we leave our sincere wishes that his dream of a recreation center at the foot of Castle Avenue will soon become a reality. To Miss Palmer, Mrs. Mickey, Miss Taylor, Miss Kitzerow, and Mr. Baumgartner, our homeroom teachers, we regretfully leave the gray hairs we accidentally caused to flourish. We'll make Miss Stoll happy and just leave a nice empty spot for the next 12A Class. To Miss Taylor and her geometry classes KEN ANTONY bequeaths all the strings from his lunches. (May your circles be true. Miss T.) EDITH SALEKER isn't leaving anything—she's taking Wally with her. What about you, HELEN MUNIAK? Are you leaving R. Z. to the others? Speaking of good-hearted people, WALTER SUCHARYK doesn't will his crutches to anyone. Willing a 1949 Hudson to Mr. Baumgartner is EVELYN DEEB. To Miss Taylor, DON VARADAY leaves the memories of the few times she saw him in homeroom.

ED JARACZ, RED CURRAN, and BOB KOHLAS leave their well-used worm-up jackets to anyone qualified to keep them looking as nice as they did. (Only kidding, boys. Put away the knives.) Saying good-by to their Southern drawl are JANE HATHCOCK, DOLORES CODY, and MARGARET MARSHALL. They are leaving it to anyone who wants that cute way of talking. The locker room will continue to ring with the echoes of JOE COYNE'S famous gym class speeches even after he leaves. DOLORES BOBER leaves Miss Daly a thank you note for putting up with her as she did. BILL ZMRAZEK offers his size 13 shoe for some equally handicapped undergraduate to fill. (Is this thing possible?)

CAROL Giggles URBAN and her friend EMILY Slap-happy ZAWOL offer their he-haws to some Sad Sack. Giving out with some advice to tenth grade boys is GINO CASTELLI. Take shorthand, you won't regret it.

RICHARD SADEY leaves his driving power (no comments, Mr. Rutledge) to next year's fullback. JOAN HALEY and PHYLLIS HOLLAND leave the dispensary to the next helpers who like to dab iodine on other people.

N. leave the address of our barber written on the locker room wall. (What's Don Eagle got that we ain't?) RITA ZINK wills her broken lockers. She is mighty glad to give them away.

(Distributive education, you know.) BILL KREINER and TONY COLUMBUS leave a frail of worn-out lab seats, broken test tubes, etc. to future brains. JUNE COLEMAN, LYDIA KOSTUK, and MARY ANN KOZORA will their High C's to the next A Cappella Choir soloists. The three musketeers, JAMES RAUSCHER, JOHN KESS, and LOU ILARDO, leave their method of having good times to anyone that con uphold the time-honored tradition.

Class Prophecy REPORT TO THE SCIENTIFIC, ECONOMIC, AND CURIOSITY COMMITTEE OF THE COUNCIL ON PLANET AFFAIRS. SUBJECT: SIDE GLANCES FROM THE MOON. We have just returned from the moon where we spent one sightseeing year. Although our mode of travel, a flying dishpan, was very swift, it took us thirty years to make the round trip. In 1965, when we reached our destination we found that we could look through the telescope, newly developed by the eminent scientist Ken Antony, and see our friends on earth. Whose activities should we be more interested in than those of our classmates of 1950? The first object we sighted was a plastic newspaper building in Cleveland, erected by multimillionaire plastic tycoon Howard Moneybags Lehman. So penetrating was our instrument that we could even see inside the building. Adorning the walls of this mighty newspaper plant, were cartoons depicting life in the good old days of 1950, done by Gloria Brooks and Ruth Robrecht. The name on the door of the chief printer read 'Curly' Kubit. And who was that cigar-puffing police reporter interviewing the well-known private eye, fearless Tom Callahan? Why, none other than Mel Newbould, sporting a new purple zoot suit designed by Phyllis Holland and expertly tailored by June Campbell. Fearless Callahan was on the trail of the three masked bandits who stole a can of Old Faithful beans from the beanery owned by Ray De Bruce and Richard Konarski. The bandits were suspected to be Bob Howells, Bob Gollwitzer, and Joe Fredmonsky, but suspicions were erased when it became known that ♦hese three were seen in the company of Janet Dydo, Pat O'Brien, and Helen Eget, chorines from play boy Bill Humel's Knockouts. We spotted two hoboes hitching a ride on the Wigwam Special. They turned out to be Buddy Rutherford and Bob Podsedly on their way to a hobo convention in Kalamazoo. Conductor John Thomas put them off in Chicago, so they went the rest of the way by mule train. At the drugstore on the corner of 25th and Lincoln Avenue, we spied three lovely nurses, Vivian Wish, Edith Saleker, and Jeanette Gaydos, giggling over Dick Sadey's Old Sage Joke Book and sipping sodas made by jerk Walter Sucharyk. At the back of the drugstore John Zapola was brewing their prescriptions, while Mike Indovino and Don Thompson licked the labels for the bottles. Ray Paoletta, Ted Zelek, and Gerald Nakhle were spied in far off Egypt scrambling among the pyramids and looking for buried treasure which was first reported in Bill Johns' column, Rumors—My Meat. In Hollywood we watched a ceremony in front of Grauman's Chinese Theater, where the footprints of The Profile George Baranski, the well-known comedienne Olga Sanuk, and comedian Milton Guth were preserved in cement. For the occasion, Lillian Hoffman, Evelyn Novak, and Lydia Kostuk sang Leave Your Shoes on Kiddies and Cry of the Wild Guth. A circus came to town at Pepsi Cola, Florida and with our special telescope we sneaked a peep into the main tent. The main attraction was a wrestling match between Gorgeous Edna George and Marvelous Mary Alexie, whose secret backer was politician Ray Maurer. Head bone-setter was King Kong Nancy King, who retired from the ring after going undefeated for eleven years. As another part of the program, Mighty Mike Galla and Lord Louie llardo boxed for twelve rounds without either one being K.O.ed, but referee Alan Weilacher was carried out of the ring without throwing one punch. We watched strong man John Kess win a bet from the Irish policeman, Dan Kolodzieczyk, by tearing a phone book in two. Dan was reluctant to pay up when he found the phone book had only fifty names. With their knife throwing act Tommy Flanagan and his partner, Loretta Gesina, drew the largest crowds. The smiling undertakers, Stanley Dentkos and Don Varaday, were standing nearest the platform. High trapeeze artist, Delores Tubero, thrilled the cheering crowd with her death-defying leaps from the swing through a burning loop into a large gloss of water 150 feet below. Clown Robert Bozo Manville made a big hit with the kiddies, slugging two of the darlings when they failed to laugh. A bigger hit was the act by the zebras troined by Mary Ann Patrick. Miss Patrick with archaeologist Marion Sauer and snake tamer Loretta Eyes Kucinski had made an expedition info the heort of Africa to capture the zebras. 34
