611155 Praplzccy The time ten o'clock, the day May twentieth, the year nineteen hundred and sixty four. Mr. Tishendorf, Qnaw Starringas our man Friday on the T. V. show DRAGNETJ was playing a hunch, her was right, it was the Senior Class of 54 holding a session. All he wanted were the facts, we gave them to him straight. Joe Allen, now fulfilling his life ambition, is a professional guide leading the Chocolate Growers up the African Gold Coast, A roar, then the sound of stripping gears is heard. The door opens and in rushes Bill T jaden. He is now driving trucks for the Smokie Diesels Van Line. Take it easy on those curves, Bill. Sitting in the corner surrounded by picks and shovels, we find Professor Francis Moul of the National Geologists Foundation. Francis tells us he is determined to dis- cover something old. Dig that! Marlene Johnson, as we remember could always find something wrong with M, H. S, Particularly that long climb up those steps. She is now back at M. H, S, running her own elevator service. Dime a ride--pretty good business Marlene. Bill Buchanan, now resides comfortably in the White House as the Presidents private barber. Pretty risky job Bill. Hard to believe, but Jim Eastin, just returned from a hunting trip in the Africian Congo. Fearless Jim, he is known as. Using some of that energy you stored up while at M. H, S, Huh, Jim! Wayne Williams, is now a prosperous wheat farmer on his father's west forty acres. Rollin' in the dough, are you Wayne? It can't be true, Beverly Softley, is an old maid school teacher. Between the two's savings she and Wayne figure they will be able to buy the ring before too many years go by. Marlene Stransky, was dissatisfied with the uneventful life as a school teacher, so, she now has her own little business. A Dime A Dance Hall, Don Buchanan, is now the sole proprietor of Ye Old Artists Shoppe. His specialty, Marilyn Monroe Calenders. Hearing a sobbing in the background, Friday approaches caudously and hears Joan Kluge, telling how she was turned down as a Police Woman' just because she didn't reach the height of 5' 7 . Determined to run the police out of business, she has established her own Private Detective Agency. A clicking of high heels is heard and a fashionly young lady in furs walks in. It can't be, but it is--Shelia Scott. She tells us that she is now employed as a professional model at Sally's Childrens Shop in Branson, Missouri the 'heart of the Ozarks.

,Cast Will and Zcstamcnf Hear Ye! Hear Ye! The reading of the Last Will and Testament of the Senior Class of 1954 will now be heard. We the Seniors of M, H, S, being in perfect health and sound mind fbelieve it or notj bequeath some of our better attributes which we find will no longer be of use to us after our departure from Madrid High. To the incoming Freshmen, we leave our reputation as the worst class in M. I-LS. To next years, Sophomores, we will our ability to win all contests sponsored at Madrid High. To the Juniors, we will the ability to get along Qwith each otherj as we have in the past. To the Seniors, we will our ability to give good clam plays and our empty desks in the assembly. We realize that it is very difficult to will these attributes, but we have tried to be fair to everyone. And now our individual bequeaths are varied. I, Don Buchanan, will my ability to get along with the girls to help the Pep Club in every possible way to Gary Johnson. I, Jim Eastin, leave my laziness in school and ability to get along with the teachers to Irma CP, VJ Kluge. I, Beverly Softley, leave my ability to get places fast fwalking that isj to Karen Diagger. I, Marlene Stransky, leave my ability to jump fan inch at leastj to Jane Buchanan to be used as a cheerleader. I, Bill Buchanan, leave my perfect attendance record to Wendell Carothers. I, Francis Moul, will myheight and ability to play football to Gary McCormick to be used against Palisade. I, Wayne Williams, will my ability to remain a Steady Q8 months nowj to Dean Komelsen. I, Bill Tjaden, will my ability to drive on Sunday and stay out of wrecks to Roger Tjaden and my perfect attendance for a year to Theron Lee. I, Joan Kluge, will my ambition to Harvey Brott and safe-driving techniques to Jerry Ritter. I, Marlene Johnson, will my loud fbut not disturbingj voice to Judy Olson to be used in class recitation. I, Shella Scott, leave my beautiful curls to Patty McCormick and my ability to write dictionary words quickly to Karen Smith. I, Joe Allen, will my slim figure to Gary Day and my inhuman laugh to Marvin Brott, To the faculty, we leave the test papers to be corrected at their convenience. To the school board, we leave the unpaid bills. To the janitor, we leave the ability to clean the gym and the girls dressing rooms. Signed, Seniors of 54
