We advise ROSALYN REFF to become the first woman President. We know she can do a better job than the men. We advise GERALD THOMSON to become an antique car racer. We know he has had the experience to become a fine one. Cfows Will We. the Seniors of 1963, of Lyme Central School of Chaumont, in the county of Jefferson, state of New York, being of incorrigible character and moronic mind, do make, publish, and declare this our last Will and Testament in manner following, that is to say: FIRST: To MR. WRIGHT, we leave a 12 by 15 enlargement of our class picture to be placed under the glass top of his desk May he never forget us. To MR. VAN SCHAICK, our class advisor, we leave a basketful of broken test tubes, dissected worms, chipped prisms, and empty Pepsi bottles. To the CUSTODIANS we leave a filled coke machine for their lounge. To the JUNIORS we leave the impressive title of Seniors and all the privileges that don't go with it. SECOND: I, NANCY DODGE, leave my job of serving food in the cafeteria to Bonnie Radley. I, STEVEN HAAS, leave a box of red and green lollipops to Donna Wheeler. I, DONALD HEASLEY, leave my lab experiences to Edgar Talbot. His determination may solve the doubtful methods I have invented. I, JAMES HILL, leave my ability to touch the rim to Merlin Dodge. I, PAUL MASON, leave my wonderful math marks to Jane (Rocky) Hamlin. I, NELSON RADLEY, leave my ability to make a lay-up in basket- ball to Roy Torrey. I, ROSALYN REFF, leave my Pepsi and potato-chip parties that the three Senior girls manage to have to Sharon Southwell. I, GERALD THOMSON, leave my '37 Chevy and my driving skill to Stewart Nichols. I, ALICE WHITMORE POND, leave my job of selling ice cream to anyone who wants it. We hereby appoint as executor of this, our last will, . . . Vaughn Meader of The First Family. THE CLASS OF 1963

driving (remember - she took drivers training at LCS), she has held possession of the 100-pound gold championship cup in the Powder Puff Derby for the past two decades. NELSON RADLEY has achieved great fame in the one sport so dear to graduates of Lyme, basketball. But at the ripe old age of 47, Nelson is retiring and is trying his hand at golf. When I asked him how he likes this game, he said, I can't seem to master the art of drib- bling that little ball. That isn’t all. There aren't any baskets around here to put it in. It seems that until last week, no one knew exactly what had happened to ROSALYN REFF, since she hadn’t been heard from for thirty years. Finally, a classmate, Nancy Dodge, received a letter from Rosalyn and brought it to our reunion. Rosie has been happily married for thirty years. On graduation night, 1963, she was invited to a party on the second floor of the Hotel Woodruff. When she entered the elevator, it suddenly went down, instead of up. It seems that Donnie Goutremount was the operator. Having swept Rosie up and carried her to his '59 Chevy, he evaded the police, which Rosie's mother had sent to catch them, and soon were out of the state. For the last thirty years, Donnie and Rosie have been living on their Kentucky horse ranch, the Flying Chevy Ranch, the same place where their six children were born and raised. Throughout the country, collectors accumulate various things, old trains, cars, planes, even small boats. These items are usually antiques and become priceless in the future. Today we find GERALD THOMPSON with the largest collection of '37 Chevrolets in the world. His main reason is obvious.. Even at this time he still has his original '37. He needs all the others for spare parts to keep his first one in driving order. tfr tlxpj OtodfriS We advise NANCY DODGE to go to college and get her MRS degree. We advise STEVEN HAAS to become a Doctor of Mechanics. Then he can diagnose the ailments of his car and fix it too. We advise DONALD HEASLEY to go to agricultural school. Then he can open Heasley Farms Inc. and compete with Wehle Farms. We advise JAMES HILL to play basketball for the Nats. He certainly must have had experience in all sorts of basketball tricks after playing on Lyme Central’s team. We advise PAUL MASON to open a dance studio with his specialty being the twist. Maybe he’ll develop another new dance craze. We advise ALICE WHITMORE POND to demonstrate her home cooking at the State Fair. We're sure she would win first prize. We advise NELSON RADLEY to enter dramatics school and become an actor. He certainly has been an all-time Romeo at LCS.
