IIIHSS Wlll We, the distinguished class of the year one thousand, nine hundred and forty-two, being, in spite of all rumors spread by the Junior Class, of sound mind, memory, and under- standing, do make, publish, and declare this our last will and testament. To the Board of Managers, administration, faculty, and employees of H. I. S. we, as a class, leave our deepest appreciation for their help and guidance in our past problems. To the Junior Class we bequeath our sports- manship and our New Year's Eve party. To -the Sophomore Class we present our col- lective knowledge, for we realize that the Junior Class wouldn't know what to do with it. To the Freshman Class we will various items which we have collected from time to time and which have proved to be of little or no value. Our class, being richly blessed with numerous gifts, qualities, talents, skills, and abilities, has decided to will them to the Juniors so that H. I. S. may remain in operation after we leave. Available Bobst gives Dubnow half a bag of moth balls. Red Witmer leaves his sports- manship and a pair of loaded dice to Ronnie Adams, who should know how to use the latter if not the former. Eby's athletic ability goes to Richardson, and Forry's physique to Kuhn. Eckert wills his wit to Tom Graham. DeWald leaves his ability as a student, plus a book, History of Lititz, H omc of Three Noted Products, to Peters. The personality of George Rojas and Dick Martin goes to Joe Mihelc. Chet Mohler leaves his quietness to Frings, while his fellow-printer, Sam Neeper, wills his bash- fulness to Pennington. Raudenbush leaves his specially-reenforced chair to seventh- grader Fat Binner or any other three people. Blizzard's persistency is willed to Filepass. Saksek leaves his popularity to Doc Shana- brook. Ed Piasecki passes his male pulchri- tude to Johnnie Kilpatrick. George Brown leaves his accuracy and Shultz his business-like methods to Romeis and Dechert, respectively. Myers gives his neatness of dress to Newkirk. Who needs it more? Bennett presents Van Schoick with his G-Man pin, thus making Va a full-fledged member ofthe National Society of Gas-Men. Russ Schutt gives his smile and two empty H. I. S. toothpowder cans to Shirey. Hendel wills his courtesy to Bill Pugh. Bob Brown wills his love-making technique to Kinnaird, along with Snare's book, The Niglzl- Lye of zz Dream Boy. Since nobody needs it more, Pete Benedict gives his photographic knowledge, plus a burned-out flash-bulb, to Stoddard Burg. Phil Keller wills hisjournalistic ability and the editor's seat of The School Industrialirt to Bill Pugh. Collier presents his Acropolis edi- torship to Edwin Beaver. George Russ leaves his loyalty, cooperative spirit, and a worn spot on the floor of Mr. Bobb's ofiice to the presi- dent of next year's Senate. Piontkowski re- linquishes his managership to Eberly. Kane wil s his honor to Spence, and his spot in the quartet to Coble. Lefsyk and Hartman will their complete library of Superman and Smash Comic: to the Sophomores, knowing that these books are beyond the Juniors' comprehension. Finding no Junior worthy of it, Tom Allen and the Carson twins skip down to the ninth grade and present their boxing ability to the Moyer twins. The Maxwell triplets leave one case of pied type to those printer's devils- High, Mancuso, and Schofield. Bill also gives his jitterbugging to I-Iuntzinger. Pike gives his musical knowledge and skill to Clair Swartz. Dick Faranow wills his effi- ciency to Leopard and his hide-beating ability to Adam DaFfner, '47. To Ivan Her- shey goes Lowry's skill at those 88 ivories. And finally, last, and although least in stature, not least in importance, Al Whetstone gives his German book to anyone who wants it' We bequeath the following articles, which were found in our treasury coffers at the close of the term, to the Class of '43: one stick of Ballon gum, halfof a dull razor blade, a box ofheadless thumb tacks, a can ofemery sparks, a toothless comb, and a retreadecl rubber band. In testimony whereof, we have set our hand and seal to this, our last will and testament, on this twenty-second day of June, one thousand, nine hundred and forty-two.

HHS3 HHPHHIY It's 1962, but memories linger and familiar things bring them back so easily. I was drink- ing milk, and I thought how it glistened in our milk cans twenty years ago. I wonder if the other fellows remember. Why not look them up? I tried to phone Who'r Wlzo, but a grulf voice broke in, Wotcha want? Red Witmer- a telephone lines- man, no less! When I told him I was hunting up the Class of '42, he said, Call jack Eckert, president of the Alumni Association. In a moment jack's familiar twang greeted my ears. Where is everybody? I asked. We certainly have a scattered Hock, he started off. Collier's Chief Royal British Interpreter, George Brown is Chiang Kai- Shek's private secretary, Forty and Saksek are Marines in Panama, along with Perry, Lieut. Lawder is on the U.S.S. Pennsylvania, guarding our newly acquired territory ofjapang Capt. Reinoehl and Sgts. Flowers and Bolden are stationed in the Philippines, and Pursch runs a Iooo-acre farm in Alaska. George Russ, Jack went on, succeeded Senator Guffey, and Hartman and Whetstone are about to discover the universal solvent at Du Pont's. But say, I don't know them all myself. Suppose you hunt some up, and tell me. So long.', Now where to look? I idly turned on the radio and involuntarily started to ta my foot, not realizing that it was the music oftiie Double Downbeats, Pike and Faranow. I'll run over to the Carson twins' U-Slug-Em Gym. Per- haps Commentator Charley Maxwell can tell me more on his Fiddlin' 'Round Phillie pro- gram. That can wait, though, I thought, as I picked up the paper. There, staring me in the face was a headline- Detective ChiefBailey Captures Thug Gang. Say, this is a fine source of information! On the Sports Page I find Herb Wignall named as most valuable professional player of the last decade, and Dick Martin as top coach. The movie and radio page? Sure! The Tom Allen-Bob Brown Sunday-night feud is still raging, and Blair Neal is the recognized sue-- cessor to Bob Burns. Benedict is Walt Dizzy's ace cameraman, while I-Iendel projects the pro- duced and directed films of Glenn Schaeffer, which, by the way, star Glenn Schaeffer. Under the science section I read that DeWald 1S peacefully discovering the 5th dimension over at L1t1tz University. Say, this is a good newspaper! No wonder. It's published by Keller, with Neeley as lino- type operator. I-Iere's a plug for Bennett's new book, History of a Haplers Homeboy. Some advertisements he carries, too. Here's one about the Lefsyk and Snare Fender-Fixing Shop- We do a Bang-Up Job. Very likely. Whew, it's hot. Think I'll get some air. While walking toward Finnie's Tavern, I suddenly saw Ainsworth and Shultz in their 1942 Cadillac. I yelled, they ground to a stop, and Shultz jumped out, lifted the hood and started to tinker with the motor. Stop, you sap! roared Cliff, nothing's wrong! Sorry, said LeRoy meekly. It's a habit. They say they are Certified Public Account- ants, making just oodles of money. We're going to see Piontkowski, side-show barker at the circus, interjected Cliff, and then we're going to Bill Maxwell's ballroom. Adios! just then a mass of pamphlets dropped from a plane. They read, Wagner's Advertising Co. Our Layouts Will Lay You Out! The plane was stunting. Looks like Mohler, I thought, and immediately he spelled out Y-E-S. Where shall I go now? I can go to Ricker's Department Store, but .jake is probably at Dietrich's public-speaking class. Meredith is an under-water welder. He always did go into things deeply. Rojas runs the Crumbless Cookie Company, and Kane has a Matrimonial Bureau. Maxwell fGeorge this timej sings for Carter's Little Liver Pills. Of course, there are two fellows we all know - the Sluggin' Sidekicksf Piasecki retired as undefeated heavyweight champ, and Squasher Raudenbush is still one of the eight profes- sional wrestling champs. But for genuine happiness, for real, honest satisfaction, let's all visit Maitland Bobst, who is just living peacefully in Shillington with his pretty wife and his ten children.
