ENUGDUQ GIQHXSS WUULCL We, the graduating class of 1946, do hereby bequeath those ob- jects, qualities and traits which have served us faithfully for the last four years, to the lowly underclassmen who we feel would not appreciate or be in greatest need of them. Emma Jean Miller leaves her good-nstured disposition to Marion Brooks. Howard Foss's pleasure of reading goes to Gloria Mc- Cleerey. Bill Ellis is the lucky receiver of all Sid Abraham's jokes. Norb Caulfield leaves his camera and his collection of pictures to Joe Koenigs. Bob Wooster's physique is left to Jimmy Johnson. Verna Mae Cooper gets Maxine Schleis's slenderness and Betty Ruth Blakely's bashfulness goes to LaV1rta Hintz. Betty Price gives her red hair to Betty Sperry, while Melvin Pedersen leaves his short sta- ture to Clair Collins. Rosada Lamp leaves her cute nose to who- ever wlll take it. Joan Tripp just leaves. Lillian Joslin bestows her musical ability upon Berta Lou Koll while Frank Edgington leaves his extraordinary driving ability to Ervin Benningsdorf. Evelyn Jennings leaves her typing ability to Richard Nagel, and Inez Barton's flair for writing is passed on to her sister, Patty. Norma Head's artistic talents will add real beauty to Anne Babb's doodling. Marilyn Hartleben leaves her smooth shorthand notes to Anna Marie Zurn. June McClatchey's ingenuity in mathematics goes to Berneice Iddings, Eloise Bel- knap's homemaking skills are left to Mary Jane Dotson.

Vernon York leaves his books- the rule you know. Bill Cook's athletic prowess is passed on to his brother, J. P. Virginia Jensen receives Edith Kunkel's sunny disposition. Leonard Bartels's gift of gab is added to that al- ready accumulated by Harry Carter. Art Thomson offers the re- mains of his little red Model A to the highest bidder. Dorothy Erickson leaves her work in the 'male department' to Betty Henry. Rita and Theresa Theobald leave Bob Mcvicker and Bob Langholz in the hands of the junior girls. LeRoy Hodges leaves the saxa- phone section of the band to Nanette McVicker and Margaret Etchi- son. Anna Mae LeFebvre leaves her cheerleading uniform to future midget cheerleaders. Clyde Hollister is the fortunate receiver of Tommy Scheer's extra hour of morning sleep. Charlie Wightman leaves his beard to Ray Sayers. Dorothy Brenner leaves the bass drum for Mr. Iseminger and Bill Jensen's good humor goes to Earl Couch. Charles Bradfield gets Saralene F1sher's studiousness.
