We, the Class of 1957, in the town of Milan, the county of Erie, and the state of Ohio, being in good mental condition as usual, and in much better temper than usual, do hereby make this, our last will and testament, rendering void and of no avail any former will or wills that may have been previously made by us during a period of temporary optimism. We do first direct that our funeral services shall be conducted by our friends and well- wishers, the faculty, only enjoining that the funeral be carried on with all the dignity and pomp our situation in Milan High School has merited. We feel that our brilliant records and our unusual achievements will live after us, but, not wishing to take any chances, we suggest that a tablet, on which shall be inscribed our several names and a few of our most astounding deeds, be purchased and placed in the lobby of the school in a position where it will strike the eye of all who enter. And in this manner do we dispose of our possessions: ITEM-- To the Junior Class we give and bequeath, reluctantly but of necessity, our mantle of dignity. We realize that the class can never fill it, but since it is expected of them, our advice is, Grin and bear it . ITEM— To the Sophomore Class, the following advice: accepting that which leads them to glory; learn to work if not to win; development comes sooner through bearing failures than successors. It isn't fun, but look to Fifty-Seven and be encouraged. Also we give and bequesth them any stubs of pencils, erasers, or scraps of paper that we may inadvertantly leave behind us in the excitement and haste of gathering up our cherished treasures for the last time. ITEM-- To the young and unsophisticated Freshman we leave a map of the school- building, so that they will not get lost and roam about in everybody's way looking for their classroom. We include with this map our little book entitled, How to Tell the Teachers a pamphlet compiled by us after four years of ardous study. They will notice this book is not what to tell the teachers but how. It contains specific information as to which teacher can be bluffed, which are easy and which are hard to please. It tells who your favorite authors must be to stand well with the English department, which history teacher is especially fond of Napolean, and what questions to ask to make the science teacher forget the lesson and be interesting. We are sure that they will find many more interesting and helpful bits of imformation in this little booklet. It will be noticed that although we have left bequests to the Junior Class, soon to be Seniors, to the Sophomores, soon to be Juniors, and to those who will, in the fall become Freshman, we have made no mention of the present Freshman Class which will be known as the Sophomore Class in a few months. We have left them nothing, because by that time their self-valuation will have attained such height that nothing in our possession would be regarded by them as worthy of their consideration. The following may seem trifling bequests, but we hope that they may be accepted not as worthless things lavishly thrown away because we can no longer keep them, but as valuable assets to those who may receive them, and continual reminder of the generosity of heart displayed on our free and full bestowal. I, Carol Welch, will to Carol Reedy my ability to watch the midshipmen and walk down steps at the same time. I, Janice Condon, will to Marie Jesberger my ability to get along with my classmates while in Washington------------especially the boys. I, Betty Gill, will to Barbara Hahn my ability to brush my teeth----at a washbowl. I, Carol Ann Files, will to Geri Martin a powder room as conveniently and widely used as that of my locker.

I, Julia Fisher, will to Lavonna Thomas free jitterbug lessons. I, Judy Doerner, will to Linore Gassmann and Janice Downing my ability to think up excuses for getting out of 7th period study hall. I, RayStiert, will to Eddie Wharff and Hunter Haynes the ability to understand Mr. Mattlege's physics questions. I, Jeannette Reer, will to Beverly Houghtlen all the slightly used gum under seat number 3, second row, in Room 24. I, Beulah Stierhoff, will to Brenda Lee my bookkeeping practice set and a bottle of ink eraser I, Gloria Shupe, will to Bonnie Bauer my ability to get along with Miss Throckmorton. I, Joan Kraft, will to Marilyn Weilnau all the worries and joys of an FHA President. I, Joyce Brennan, will to Twila Maines my life-time job of packing balloons. I, Wade Turner, will to Linda Nistetter my typewriter eraser. I, Ruth Oetzel, will to Sandy Rhinemiller all the trials and tribulations of a Head Majorette I, Marlene Mason, will to Judy Lohmann and Bob Glowacki my ability to watch the band director and the audience at the same time. I, Cathy Harkins, will to Jim Schnell all the pleasure: of writing the term paper. I, Robert Morrow, will to Dean Miller, Jerry Colahan, and Bob Doerner my membership in the Bachelor's Club. I, John Glassner, will to Rodney Burley and Dennis Cole my gift of gab and my ability to give the wrong answer and stand by it to David Cosand. I, Bob McLane, will to Leslie Lorcher my ability to keep quiet in Ag. class. We , Sylvia Zickefoose and Jeanine Lorcher, will to AnnSamaha, John McWane, and Paul Westcott oxygen masks for the high altitudes, and a parachute for a safer landing. To, Mr. Lindecamp--a Senior Class that marches as well as the Class of '57. To Mr. Steele--all the necessary equipment needed to write a term paper, the subject being How I'm Going to Raise my Boys so they Won't ask for a Car when They Turn Sixteen. Also we give him permission to use any of our thoughts or comments on this subject. To Mr. Eckler----a case of Scotch so that he can demonstrate to next year's Ag classes — that Drinking Does Not Pay . To Mr. Costantino — fender skirts and duels for his Pontiac and book entitled How to Drag . To Mr. Yoder--the book entitled It's Not the Fall that Hurts, It's the Sudden Stop. This is to be read thoroughly before each bloodmobile visit. To Mr. Skinner---a new horn for his Ford and hononary membership in the Yul Brenor Fan Club. To Mr. Clemens--all the joys of fatherhood and any of Mr. Steele's ideas on how to raise children. To Miss Throckmorton--the redhead we've been trying to findfor hertheselast four years. To Mrs. Critchfield--a map of the Bureau of Printing and Engraving Building in case she goes to Washington again. We would hate to see her get left behind the second time.

To Mr. Gaich--a bottle of asprin in case he should getanotherSeniorboyinindustrialarts. I To Mr. Mattlege--a Sherlock Holmes Detective Kit and a skeleton key. To Mrs. Mayer--a megaphone so she can be heard in mixed chorus next year. We, the Seniors, wish to leave to the Juniors these thoughts of wisdom: Take your own drinking water to Washington. Beware of flying carpets. Don't be discouraged by the term paper, it's not as bad as we made it sound. Drive carefully. Make next year the biggest year of your life. Last but not least, we, the members of the Senior Class will to the Junior Class our many thanks for the beautiful prom given in our honor, with the hopes that they receive one just as nice. Finally, we doherbyname and appoint as the executors of this, our last will and testament, our class advisors, Mrs. Critchfield and Mr. Eckler. In witness whereof, we, the Class of 1957, have setour handand seal on this the Thirdday, for June in the Year of Nineteen Hundred and Fifty-Seven. 16 Sitting from left to right: Jonnie Hibbard, Richard Gregory, Wade Turn- er, Wayne Crecelius, Robert McLane, Raymond Stiert, and Bob Morrow.
