Holyoke Assistant Principal Oshkosh State Teachers University of Wisconsin Industrial Arts One of the most important things to be acquired in school is an understanding that life's problems have no simple solution. Life is continual change and requires continual adjustment. No one knows all the answers and the correct solution today may be wrong tomorrow. It is my hope that you have here learned to analyze problems, weigh evidence, and arrive at conclusions from facts rather than from prejudices, in other words, to think for yours elf. E. 0. Evans You of the graduating class of 1937 of Monroe High School have a great task ahead of you. Remember that the outcome depends on yourself. No matter how bad or how difficult conditions may be, it will do no good to complain. You will need health, and all the good will, and all the determination you have. The kind of a country we shall have in the future depends on the kind of men and women which the youth of today are determined in their hearts to be. Civilization can rise no higher than its source.

Pres - 3eh ffe rf Sec- - fDanan 1Rosenthal 'Treasurer- Gerald Po ITloffo CLASS HISTORY With a 3hy but determined air, 115 students entered the portals of Monroe High School on September 3, 1934. Bewildered, we plodded through the first few weeks. Then with the aid of Willis Proudfoot as president; George Walker, vice president; Elaine Aller, secretary; Dorothy Schneider, treasurer; Arthur Durgin and Kenneth Benkert, representatives to the Student Council;and with Miss Margaret Wernecke as class adviser, we became acquainted with all the school activities. One member of the class, Jeanne Lynch, was a member of the cast of the operetta “Crocodile l3le“. Dorothy Eichstadt led cheers during her sophomore year. Clinton Blackboum, Alvin Babler, George Walker and Ervin Beer received athletic awards. Our Junior year was one of activity and responsibility. With our eyes on the prom, the three candidates, selected for the honor of holding the office of both president and prom king, were Jeffery Frau-tschy, Josef Benkert, and George Walker. After the fourth ballot Josef Benkert filled the place of honor, as the head of the class. Betty Keel was elected vice president; Elaine Aller, secretary; Alex Y ittwer, treasurer; and Morris Elmer and Willis Proudfoot served on the Student Council. Josef Benkert, prom king, selected Dorothy Deininger, as queen, to rule with him over the nautical promenade. Many others assisted as members of committees in making the prom a success. Members of the class who were assigned parts in the operetta, The Count and the Coed , were Max Untersee and Alvin Babler. Ruth Stauffacher represented Monroe at Brodhead with her humorous declamation. Doris Bruni received Honorable Mention in a typing contest in Milwaukee. Entering the homeward stretch with graduation in sight we chose Alex Wittwer as president; Josef Benkert, vice president; Marion Rosenthal, secretary; and Gerald Poff, treasurer. Arthur Durgin and Morris Elmer represented the senior class on the Student Council of which Willis Proudfoot served as president. Responsible positions were much in evidence with Merlin Meythaler editor-in-chief of the Bulletin, Alvin Babler, business manager, and Jeffery Frautschy,editor of the M Book. Many other industrious seniors assisted them. Homecoming was ably taken care of by Betty Keel. Arthur Durgin was the cheer leader the last two years. Representing us in the field of sports the three terms were Willis Gruenewald, Maurice Stauffacher, Clinton Blackbourn, Ervin Beer, Stacey Williams, Ernest Losberger, Alvin Babler, George Walker, and Morris Elmer. A position of honor, that of banker, wa3 awarded to Gerald Poff. Winifred Janke was chosen for the D.A.R. honor. Goblin Gold? the three act senior class play under the direction of Mrs. Anne Rawson, was ably interpreted by Caryl Anderson, Alvin Babler, Merlin Meythaler, Jeffery Frautschy, Winifred Janke, Robert Reder, Elfrieda Foesch, Jeanne Lynch, and Ruth Stauffacher. Miss LaVon Jones as class adviser assisted us through Commencement, Baccalaureate, and all the trials and tribulations of the final year.

REMEMBER WHEN — The H of e r Miss A TRIP TO ACTIVITIES Pres. - Willia Proudfoot Sec. - John Halverson V-Pres. - Morris Elmer Treas. - Harold Trumpy Hi Pals! Keep your coats on, for we shall now go from one building to the other on a travelogue, a trip which will give us considerable mileage. In all organizations there must be a business angle, so let’s visit the Student Council and draw our own conclusions. Here seven representatives are at the mercy of four faculty members (or is it vica versa?). They decide important mixer dates, discuss new projects for the betterment of the school, etc. Pardon us, is this the Bulletin Staff? Here, we understand, they want inches instead of miles. They won the N.S.P.A. award, so we should be proud of them. But we must move on to the Stamp Club. Editor-in-Chief - Merlin Meythaler Business Manager - Alvin Babler Pres. - Philip Blair Sec. Treas. - Elizabeth Ladner In this room we see the members busily selecting new stamps for their albums. Mr. Evans, the sponsor, takes time out to show us some of his valuable stamps. Students are building up individual collections of their own through the help of Mr. Evans and stamp companies. Now let us visit the club supposedly sitting on top of the world. But are they? No, for there are twenty-four star finders placed on twenty-four desks with forty-eight eyes trying in vain to find Orion. There it is, over to the left. Those three brightest stars form his belt. These students also argue as to whether there is habitation on Mars. Incidentally, they haven’t fully decided--but then— neither have any of the famed authorities But this is going a bit too far, so suppose we come back to earth and see what is going on in Forensics. President - Dorothy Figi V-Pres. - Violetta Huffman Sec. Treas. - Guy Reasa Pres. - Joyce Williams V-Pres. - Elaine Ganshert Sec. Treas. - Betty Lanz What’s this? Some one shouting? Room 15—why, that must be the Debate Club. So that's how they do it. But seriously, the Debate Club has had a number of debates on the question, Resolved that all electric utilities should be governmentally owned and operated . The Reading Club, too, is a part of the Forensic division. Learning to read correctly and pleasingly, as well as proper mannerisms, are the aims of this club. Since Forensics and Dramatics go hand in hand, we shall now take a course in acting, directing, and make-up. (As though we don’t already know how.) Several plays have been put on within the club, and a Thanksgiving play, Turkey Red —much to Betty Lanz's delight—was presented before the student body. Pres. - Iva Adelman V-Pres. - Mae Hofer Sec. Treas. - Ruth Stauffacher Pres. - Betty Keel Sponsor - Myrtle Stokke Still feeling slightly exalted, we are entertained by the GAC members. They are learning to referee (ro wonder we can't hear ourselves think) and to score games in which they participate. This year all first aid is being left to BAC; consequently, we expect many feminine fatalities. Oh, yes, we must not forget the important basketball game sponsored by both BAC and GAC, in which the boys as well as girls were clad in Irish colors. (Game awarded to timekeeper.) '.Ve wonder if Fred Steffen really enjoyed jumping center. Since we are in the athletic spirit, we shall drop in on BAC to see how Coach Brown develops and promotes an interest in sports. Artificial respiration and first aid are demonstrated. Boys are assigned topics which deal with sport activities. Rules for games, that all Americans enjoy, are also discussed. No Officers Sponsor - Edmund Brown No officers Sponsor - J. G. Calder Now we are plunged into depth (don’t be frightened, it is only to the basement). Here the girls are busily sanding magazine racks some of which are to be stained and others painted. (Pardon us, while we sneeze.) My, they look nice. They almost put the boys in the shade. (How about it, troys?) To retaliate for that last remark, we shall follow the boys clad in white aprons to their domain, though it is theirs only for one period a week. Perhaps they will invite us to dine. Umra! We hope sot Just see those sizzling hot steaks! Aren’t you hungry? P.S. Have you ever seen Albert Geigel with shirt sleeves rolled up, hands deep in frothy hot water trying vainly to corner an elusive -------------------- cake of soap? Pres. - Kathleen Benkert V-Pres. - Arlene Mills Sec. Treas. - Helen Munz Now, carried on an odorous wave of luscious 3teaks, we enter the Handiwork Club. Stunning accessories, purses, baskets, and mats are the center of interest in this room. Articles are made as gifts and as a useful occupation of leisure. Hands are busy, but tongues are equally so. Hi’. We are now at the Hi-Y. Here the boys are taught the bases for good American Citizenship under the guidance of Mr. Coon. High morals are promoted through sports and social contacts. Two meetings a month are devoted to speakers who advocate vocational and youth movements. This year the Hi-Y sponsored a party, Father and Son banquet and two movies. Pres. - Harold Rottler V-Pres. - Willis Gruenewald Sec. Treas. - Fred Lanz Sponsor - Mr. E. 0. Evans Pres. - George Walker Sec. Treas. - C. Blackbourn Conservation:—preserving, protecting, promoting. These are Webster’s three p’s for conservation which the club fulfills to the Nth degree. This club has joined a state contest for bird feeding and shelter building. To date, they have built 40 shelters including the feeders, which attract an average of 115 birds. But more important than the preservation of wild life is that of human beings. For this we turn to the Safety Club. They demonstrate the proper method of driving automobiles and the necessity of obeying traffic laws. Through the help of Guy Reasa a debate was won, the topic being that governors should be put and kept on all cars. (Time out for comment.) Freak accidents were also discussed. Another phase of club work was artificial resuscitation. Pres. - Gerald Poff V-Pres. - Clair Mitchell Sec. - Josef Benkert Pres. - Alvin Babler V-Pres. - Winifred Janke Sec. Treas. - Archie Myers The blending of harmonious voices induces us to pay our respects to Mixed Chorus. Here we learn that the purpose of any singing organization is to give opportunity to those interested in the enjoyment of 3inging with others. However, in Mixed Chorus, we go further than that, in attempting to develop a measured singing ability, a general knowledge of choral mechanics, and an appreciation by concentrated study of some of the Chorus Classics. The students belonging to both a Glee Club and the Mixed Chorus are given credit according to the degree of individual development in singing during the year. Although no operetta was given this year,the Cho rus is working toward a Spring Concert ■ —— - Pres. - Josef Benkert Sec. Treas. - J. Frautschy 1HIfs that Drum Major Man’.M Leading the band, he marches proudly about the football field and armory floor. Concerts have been given to pay off debts for those smart gray uniforms. Reference: Please refer to , Allan Barnard,Sr. for information concerning that new bassoon player. Do-re-mi. These musical notes bring us to Girls' Glee Club. Much time is spent in preparation for the Spring Music Festival in May. Pres. - Elaine Aller Lib. - Winifred Janke Pres. - Robert Schuh Sec. Treas. - Miriam Rotn This time we visit the Junior Band, who will soon become full-fledged members of the Senior organization. Won't they be proud when they don the uniforms, fit or misfit? They are learning to appreciate good music, not uniforms. Keeping in step we march on to the Boys’ Glee Club who endeavor to accomplish the same as the Girls' Glee Club—in a lower tone. From their number a quartet is selected which also competes in the Festival. Pres. - Arthur Durgin Lib. - LeRoy Morgenthaler Pres. - Gerald Von Klein Sec. Treas. - A. Leiser As a finale to our little journey, we lastly visit the Orchestra, sponsored by the ever patient Miss Spencer. Odd sounds are often heard floating from this room—but when they’re all put together, they sound very wellI This club gave a concert and played for Junior High and Senior High plays.

Let us make a closer inspection of their work. In lettering, artistic and otherwise, is written, Welcome Grads of ’37 . Upon further investigation, we find that this is the day before the opening of the new school, and the class of '37, because of its astounding success as a whole in later years, had been requested to officially dedicate this building. I, being a member of that class, am naturally most interested. But who is to be the master of ceremonies? I ask. They reply that it had been deemed most appropriate to place the honor in the hands of the president of the class, Alex Wittwer, who was to be King for a Day , after having been a bum for nine years and 364 days. However, extreme responsibility has been placed upon the shoulders of George Neubauer, now mayor of the city, who will take care of the arrangements for the gala affair. The task of writing and sending out the invitations was put upon the responsible shoulders of four married women of the class of 37 , Mrs. Doris Bruni Zeller, Mrs. Helen Erickson Hoff, Mrs. Florence Balsiger Deininger, and Mr3. Helen Daubert Pickett. Especial invitations were sent to Josef Benkert, a well-known mathematician, famed for his ability of making 2 plus 2 equal 5 and other such difficult computations; Jeffery Frautschy, distinguished photographer for Ballyhoo and Whiz Bang with which Willis Proud-foot, an illustrious cartoonist is also affiliated; Willis Gruenewald and Leon Goepfert, two of the best G men in the world; Bertie Durbo, glamorous theatrical star formally known as Roberta Durner, who got her start through her practice of gold-digging back in Monroe High School, where she was most adept at taking shirts off a former football captain's back; Jeanne Adair Lynch, world famous dietician, whose fame was gained by her discovery of how to lose weight by merely sitting and looking at three meals a day instead of indulging; Arlene Johnson, Miss America of 1940; and Opal Hare, famous social worker, following in Jane Addam's footsteps. All is in readiness for the next day. After having telephoned to my company for a day's furlough, I go to bed dreaming of the morrow. The day for the grand opening of so elaborate a structure dawns with all the 3igns of the answer to a celebrator’s prayer . Throughout the early portions of the morning a large squadron of airplanes do a bit of stunt flying. The grand finale of their exhibition is the smoke lettering of the class motto of ’37. Our hearts are awed by the cool precision and spectacular maneuvering. Then we realize that this could be none other than the flying Keegans, Alma and Helen, with their squadron of stunt aviators, coming back to witness this spectacle. A mighty roar goes up from the crowd as they land with perfect three point landings. Rushing forward to meet and greet them is Carroll Jones, president of the famous company manufacturing men’s reducing girdles, and his three assistants, charming Gladys Blackie Bayrhoffer, the originator of the beautiful black hair dye;stately Betty Keel, high school physical education teacher;and Ellen Baumgartner, the virtual dictator of the city, as the wife of Mayor George Neubauer. Attention is then drawn to the preparing of the official stand. Huge bouquets of red roses, our class flower, have been donated by the wealthy florist, Pansy Blackbourn. To reliable Betty French, famous decorator called in for the occasion, has been assigned the task of overseeing the arrangement of the stand and of the day’s program. About noon, feeling hungry, I wander over to “Julies’ Dog House , where the famous Waelti line of foods originated, and appease my glut-tinous appetite with the results of her culinary skill. The time for the christening has been set for 4 P.M. Therefore my time is my own until then. Like other returning grads,I decide to wander about the city and acquaint myself. I notice that because of the fame we have brought the city, it deemed fitting and proper to name the streets after us, and do away with the numerical rating. Walking along Pandow Avenue, I encounter my old pals, Bob Reder, Kenneth Roen-neburg, and Rex Dahms. However, they avoid me. Their attire has all the earmarks of the modern gangster with his slouchy cap, loud shirt, brazenly checked suit, and noisy socks. The reward placed on their heads, dead or alive, tempts me to catch them, but realizing that this is the feting of our class, I decide against it. Of course their bulging hip pockets have nothing to do with my allowing them to pass unmolested. At the next corner I turn left on Klarer Street, named after Aggie, the novelist, who wrote Out Like a Light , which broke the existing records for sales previously held by Margaret Mitchell’s Gone With the Wind . To my amazement I find a crowd gathered around in a circle. Determined to get inside of the ring, I push people aside with abandon. After expending tremendous energy, I attain the inner circle. There to my surprise, is Kenny Benkert, the foremost radical of our day, giving another soap box oration. However, I prevail upon him to lay off his speeches at least for this day. As it is now about 3:30, I proceed to the corner of Janke and Babler, where the parade is to begin. The route of the parade is along Babler, then left on Meythaler, straight on to Anderson and Zweifel where the school is situated and where the stand is located. Trying to get anyplace through this throng of humans, who have traveled from far and near to watch this festivity,is like a fly attempting to climb a fly roll. The parade starts—banners wave, the crowd cheers, as we, famed and mostly otherwise,pass by in review, led by the limousine of multimillionaire George Daley, and containing the master of ceremonies, the mayor, and their chauffeur, Clarence Pfund, who Iooks most dignified with his curls done up especially for this day. Many other members of the parade were unable to participate because the Short Top Labor Union, led by Jack Marty, who is so red that he looks as if he just emerged from a Turkish bath, ran picket lines along the street, allowing no one to take part who was not garbed in union attire. Most of the parade-ites were afraid this would put them too much in the red along with the national government. A few of the other most loquacious pickets are Dorothy Figi, Elaine Aller, Ruth Stauffacher, and Mickey Losberger, who is much in earnest . The suckers who are taking part in any way are headed by Elfrieda Foesch, owner of a shop which is advertised as a pet shop that is really a pet shop ,and by the Schmid and Schild Squeeky Shoe Company. After a thirty minute march, the honored trudge up the steps on to the stand. In the first ranks below are gathered the graduates and back of them those that are mere onlookers. Quickly we all settle ourselves in order to get the ceremony over as quickly as possible. Ah', who is that dignified personage barging through the crowd to shake hands with Alex? It is none other than Dorothy Schneider, proprietor of Schnitz’s Hot Spot . Schnitz announces that a free performance will be given to all graduates this evening at her inn. The entertainment furnished by Ralph Sackovitch and his Cossacks is composed of such illustrious genii ass Blazing Georgette , international torch singer; Leo Chryst, Guy Reasa, and Ralph Jenny, nimble toe tappers, and Harriet Hylandskie—Russian toe dancer, beloved in every country of the world for her charming smile and beautiful blonde locks. The high-steeping chorus is composed of George Walker,Stacey Williams, Harold Rottler, Thomas Schiesser, Clarence Norder, Lavern Hoverman, Sheeny Elmer,Ervin Beer, Norman Smith, Gerald Poff,and Francis Cook. (Another alumnus, Walt Stumble-toes Buholzer was also a member. However, he was dismissed on account of a lack of rhythm.) Because of their versatility and their shapely limbs, these gentlemen have forced all the female choruses into bankruptcy, and they now have the field to themselves, thus making this gathering especially fortunate in acquiring their services. Another head-line with this group is the Block-Elmer team (you remember Morrie). The deftness of their execution, regarding dance steps, has been unparalleled in dancing annals. The eight year-old dancing quadruplets are also a feature. Their skill has been taught them by their dancing mother, Dorothy Eichstadt. Gordon Olson and his Rendezvousing Grenadiers furnish the accompaniment for the revue, that is when they can be separated from the chorus boys,who seem to prefer this band to all others. In the orchestra Dorothy Marti and Marian Lewis toot the trumpets, the latter garnering her experience blatting off in the old high school as a student. Harmonizing on the saxaphones are the three R's,Rosenthal, Ryan, and Rufener. The slide trombone is manipulated to a small degree by Marie Tuescher, who when unable to reach, is assisted in the sliding by her stooge, Max Untersee. Completing the rostrum is Edna Raymer, who blows the bass horn, Betty DeVoe, drummer, and Violetta Huffman, pianist. Order! shouts Alex. (Seems like old times, doesn’t it?) I have been asked to make a few announcements. (I can see, he's not out of practice. No wonder he's a bum. He's probably been spending all these years talking for his bread and butter). Tonight there will also be a free style show by two of our leading dress shops, one owned by Caryl Anderson and Winifred Janke, the other by Dorothy Deininger and Evelyn Bidlingmaier. The four most renowned models,Genevieve Clemment, Alberta Eaton, Gertrude Lysser, and Marian Eyrick, have consented to aid in making this show a success. However, I am. sorry to say that alumna Ruth Williams was unable to make the trip from Alaska because of lack of snow for her dog team. I will now present to you that silver-tongued speaker, Ruth Fritsch. The words she said, I need not tell as you are all well acquainted with them. You realize full well that they would be most interesting. Now, after long waiting, the momentous moment has come. But where are the masters of ceremonies, Mr. Neubauer, and Mr. Daley? (And where has the champagne, to be used for annointing the corner 3tone, disappeared?) Could they possibly have been kidnapped? This does not seem plausible for the audience would make such a happening too great a risk. However, the numerous threats made on Mr. Daley, have driven his wife, Marian Elmer, frantic. We take it upon ourselves to call the police, who arrive with unusual punctuality. The chief, Maurice Stauf-facher, and two of hi3 aides, Art (Jeep) Durgin and ’’Bill Gets His Man O'Meara, step up onto the stand. What’s the matter? asks the chief. Disjointedly we explain to him that these three notables, along with the champagne, were missing, and that we were afraid the Dahms-Reder-Roenneburg gang had laid their clutches on them. Leave it to me , says Morry to his assistants. He thereupon goes inside the school building to pick up any clues and champagne to be found. We wait a-round for about a half hour and he doesn’t come out. Come on, Jeep , we had better go in and help him , says Bill . As contingent dispatch to aid the two flatfoots, we cautiously wind our way up the steps. Turning in at the first door to the left we see a sight that astounds us. For there are our three missing dignitaries and also the police head, engrossed in carving their initials on all the desks. Needless to say, we find the champagne bottle,but alas, it is empty. Unabashed, we fill it with water, take it outside, and break it over the corner stone. And'that's the christening of the new Monroe Senior High School Ju. yi tor 8a.-w A 0 n FVva.4 e. Senior Bin d CHARACTER DAY Hold on tight! Here we go! Be careful, we're slipping! ’Tis the night before Homecoming and weaving around the streets of Monroe is an extended line of laughing, chattering students. The band is striking a lively tempo with the snake dancers whirling behind. At each corner of the square they gather in a circle. Enclosed inside are Cheerleaders Arthur Durgin, Mae Swartz, and Walter Speich, who lead the hilarious participants in rousing cheers. Suddenly it terminates around a huge, roaring bonfire in Spring Square. With Rudolph Regez as master of ceremonies, Leland Lamboley gives an inciting pep talk. Slowly the students disband and retire to their homes to make final preparations for the events of the big day following. Character Day dawns bright, the sunshine pronouncing a perfect Homecoming. Lending an air of gayety to the somber-hued school building, flocks of blithe gaudily garbed students hurry to their classes. Gaily costumed pirates and gypsies and fierce looking gangsters with their bold-faced gun molls are only a few types of characters constituting this diversified group. But wait! What's that noise? Oh, that's the hook and ladder outfit composed of Chief Johnny Gibbons, owner of the unique Struggle buggy, driving the Gentleman of Leisure, Willis Etter. Astride the top is Bill Shriner and his inseparable water jug. That red and white bestreamered limousine, all but taking the corners with it, has in it a precious cargo which we discover on closer scrutiny to consist of Belles of the Gay Nineties. Best costumed girls and boys are selected from each class and the winners take their bow. From the senior class we have Parson Robert Reder and Miss Gordon Olson as the best costumed boys, and Ruth otauffacher is selected from among the girls. Betty Lanz's negro-mammy outfit not only wins her the distinction of being the best dressed among junior girls, but also the best in the entire senior high. All ears and no3e is Gerald Fritz whose outfit is chosen from the junior boys. Gypsy June Reese and Gentleman of Leisure Etter are the outstanding characters of the sophomore class. With enthusiasm running at high pitch, the next scene takes us to the eve of the game between Monroe and Wisconsin High. Hundreds of students and alumni are on hand to cheer the Cheeseraakers to victory. Willis Gruenewald, Ervin Beer, and Clinton Blackbourn account for the three touchdowns, while Mickey Losberger scores the extra point. The Capital City boys account for their 6 points to Monroe's 19 by a last minute play, Monroe winning its first Homecoming Game since 1928.

Members are: Pepper (Evalyn Stauffacher), Ginger (Mary Meythaler), Salt (Enid Bayrhoffer), and Sugar (Betty Wenger). 11 Mr. Evans conducted Chemistry Class one day. 12 School was dismissed one afternoon because of icy roads. 13 Architects have been engaged to draw up plans for a new school building. 14 Caryl Anderson's braid is 18 inches long. 15 One sophomore English class was caught sleeping when the buzzer buzzed on time. 16 Fred Steffen is no longer the smallest boy in the class of '39. 17 Leon Rabe, the curly-headed junior, used to have straight hair. CLA33 WILL KNOT ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS, That we,the class of 37 of Monroe High School, being of sound and disposing minds and memories, do make this our last will and testament, revoking all wills and codicils by us at any time heretofore made. So that the Benkert name will be sustained, Josef Benkert leaves his conservative yellow sweater to Kathleen Benkert, realizing its honor will be carefully guarded. Doctor Kenneth Benkert bequeaths the care of Miss Anna Driebusch to Archie Myers with the hope that she will be well taken care of. Smilin'H Mickey Losberger offers his radiant personality and cheerful disposition to that little sophomore, Ruth Evans. Lavern Hov-erman imparts his lack of eyebrows to Mary Karlen. Clair Mitchell, the man about town, falls heir to colorful Dorothy Eichstadt's davenport technique. Monstrous Delia Pandow leaves her hugeness to Lloyd Hefty. Musical Squirt Buholzer transmits his smoothness in dancing to George Abplanalp. What the well-dressed man should wear Jones bequeaths his haberdashery to William Maurer. Wink Gruenewald grants his distinct way with the fairer sex to Ernie Stauffacher, and also his beard to anyone willing to take and scrape it. Flash Rottler donates his shoes to any underclassman capable of filling them, without the aid of rocks, sandbags, or other foreign substances. Merlin Meythaler regretfully bestows his franchise of the Freeport bus line to the pilot extraordinary, Johnny Gibbons, if his limousine will endure the strain of the numerous trips. Wide-awake Eugene Elmer wills his case of insomnia to Margaret half-awake Kuster. Willis Proudfoot transfers his art of perfected procrastination to Betty Benkert. Outspoken, boisterous, iron and leather-tongued Grace Schild wills her talkativeness to the quite, serene Richard Bahr. Wini Janke bequeaths her hair coiffures to Carla Shriner and also her knitted sweaters to augment Carla's none too adequate supply. The love for Buicks (in one fora or another) changes hands from Patricia Thorpe to Johnny Marty. The right to adore a blond Apollo is given by Dorothy Marti to Dorothy Larson (another blond enthusiast)—may he adhere to all her idolatry. Little Danish Caryl Anderson wills her raven black braided tresses to Arthur Butts. To Fritz Lanz is allowed the permission to use the excuse doing the chores hitherto capitalized upon by Georgie Walker. However, we advise frugal use because the frequency with which the alibi was used this year would tend to make it slightly suspicious. Alvin Babler, possible inventor of the reversible automobile engine and an all around mechanical genius, emburdens Harold Trumpy with this ability. Georgie Neubauer wills his slender physique to Eddie Emmenegger. However, he will allow for leniency as far as the midsection is concerned.
