LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT h OF THE CLASS OF 1957 Mr. Superintendent, Friends, Teacher, Fellow Classmates: The Class of 1957, about to die salutes you I It is the class's dying wish that its last will and testament be produced and read at this place. 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, Wayne Crecelius, will to John Williams my parking space--------on Center Street. I, Sandy Osborn, will to John Warner my ability to back out of driveways-straight. I, Russ Nickels, will to George Swicker my motto;-- GetUp Early and Avoid the Rush . I, Jonnie Hibbard, will to John Harkins my Spanish book with the hopes that he puts it to good use. I, Richard Gregory, willmy collectionof churchkeys to Gary Fry and to Wayne Schlessman this advice—---------after you've climbed the Washington Mounument---------look out.
