o emor LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the class of 1963, being of fairly sound mind, do hereby bequeath the following to those we leave be- hind: I, Wayne Blankenship, leave my sincere ability to get along with Mrs. Eskridge to Gene Robinson. I, John Bowers, leave my four minute mile to Jerry En- sign and my band whistle and stop sign to Mr. Zan- cha for between classes. I, Julie Burcham, leave laughing. How else? I, Richard Cook, leave my football vacancy to Henry Hubbard and hope that he can fill it. I, Richard Goad, leave my assistant, Mr. Williams, to teach the shop classes. With the experience he has gained the past four years, he should be quite capa- ble. I, Richard Grant, leave and take everything with me. I, Joyce Lee, leave my ability to put books back on the top shelves of the library to Joan Stinson, a taller Library Club member. 1, Mike Lee, leave Rick Allen my ability of preventing school from interferring with my education. I, Lynden Long, leave my prayer-wheel to Larry His- song in hopes that he can improve his horse-shoe game. I, Dave Lorenson, leave my mannerly ways and extra white bow ties to Mary Beth Smith. I, Larry Morrison, leave my big hands to Sarah Minor so she can handle all problems of the Student Coun- cil and my pairs of size 13 shoes to Mr. Bell, so he can patrol the bookkeeping class in half the time and to Kenny Wilhelm, so none of the football players can knock him down. I, Gilbert Phelps, leave my way with girls to Gary Hale and my mastery of ''capitalization'' to Oliver Dyer. I, Linda Phillips, leave my weekly trips to the mauso- leum to Kirby Fleming and Susan McGuire. I, Bob Piatt, leave my ability to pole vault to Shirley Creviston. May she have more luck bending the pole than I had. I, Norma Rickey, leave to attend Southern and to be with Rucfy. I, Steve Trainor, leave my most hated nickname, La Verne,-' to Rebecca Stephenson. I, Tom Switzer, leave to the class of 1964 my collec- tion of unpaid I.O.U.'s which I have been unable to collect with anything short of legal action. I hope these will help pay your expenses (if you can collect). Good Luck!!! I, Richard Trummel, leave my ag class reputation to Kent Hoffman and may he suffer the consequences. I, Kay Weaver, leave Mr. Bell. The poor old soul!!! What will he do without me? I, Frances West, leave and take John with me. I, Lei Yamamoto, leave all the assembly programs 1 couldn't get the past four years to someone more fortunate than I. To Mr. Best we leave a set of magnetized horse-shoes of the CLASS OF 1963 so that he can get closer to the stakes. To Mr. Allen, we, the physics class leave a bundle of used scotch tape which we have borrowed over the years. To Mr. Zancha we leave a closed circuit television set so he will not have to patrol the lunchroom. To Mrs. Eskridge we leave the pleasant memories of her experiences during the year, which she had the honor of being our class advisor. To Mr. Bell we leave his fond memories of his class room periods with Larry Morrison. To Mr. Thomas we leave a book of corny jokes for his ag classes because his best class is graduating. Best class of jokers!!! To Mrs. Thomas we leave a new gavel for the lost and found auctions. To Mr. Williams we leave a supply of courage so in- stead of just threatening, he can really use his paddle. To Mr. Jarvis we leave a P.E. class that wants to do what he wants to do and not what they want to do. To Mr. Rhoades we leave a megaphone so that he won't have to talk so loudly during music practices. To Miss London we leave a pair of glasses so she can see stop signs on the sociology trip. To Mrs. Bailey we leave a four-foot white strip painted down the center of the floor so her students can walk the chalk without so much effort on her part. To Mrs. Kitchen we leave a large underground subway from the high school to the grade school, so she can hot rod without being seen. To Mr. Peadro we leave five Watusis for his basketball team. To Mrs. Stephenson we leave Gene Robinson, Roger Long, Kent Hoffman, and Scott Booker. This should be more than enough. To Miss Bell we leave with many regrets. She could come with us if she would. To Miss Kerans we leave her pinned in hopes that one of these days, she'll be married. To Mrs. Fleming we leave a redcap, called Willie, to run all her many errands. To Mrs. Dickson, Mrs. Landgrebe, and Mrs. Wilhite we leave more state aid for more food. To Mr. Brown and Mr. Gravens we leave bacteria to eat all dirt. How's that? To the class of '64 we leave the spirit of our football season and the challenge of equaling our football championship. To the class of '65 we leave our good example to fol- low in all your business affairs as upper classmen. To the class of '66 we leave the school and the teachers for you to put up with for three more years. Good Luck!!! To the Lovington High School we leave memories of the best class it ever had.
