fi. ci... will .f 194 7 We, the Senior Class of 1947, Muncy High School, Town of Muncy, County of Lyra., State of Penna., being of sound mind H1 after I2 long years of servitude, do hereby declare this to be our last will and testament. To the faculty we ive our deepest appreciation for all their time anf effort spent throughout our 12 years. To the juniors we leave our ability to get along with the faculty. We bequeath to the Sophomore class our scholas- tic standing. See if you can beat it! The Freshmen seem to be badly in need of every- thing so we give them our best wishes and three cheers for good luck! Amen. Lewis Jones bequeaths his little black book to Curly Rohm. Think how far you'll be able to go with a gift like that, Curly. To Dale Houseknecht, Phil Hall, and anyone else who can use a gun, Coon Reeder leaves his. Here's hoping there are no casualties next year. Eleanor Waldron presents Jane Poust with her wiggle. Keep it under control, Poustiel Since the band is without a piccolo, Sally Smith has agreed to give Mr. Pearce her whistle to help out in future concerts. Tut Heincelman wills his fondness for Wine, Women, and Songj' to Paul Stackhouse. Will you accept? To anyone who is unfortunate enough to have French next year, Delfred Holmes and Johnny Coppes leave their exceptional skill in the mastery of the art of this subject. Dot Riley has decided that Bertie Michael will treat her wicked line the best. It's all all yours, Bertie! Donlt hang your clothes on it and don't hang your- self. Use it to an advantage. To Minda Byerly, Rena Houseknecht takes pride in giving her slacks and sneakers. fWe make no further comment here.l Brady Lowe bequeaths his exceptional ability for bookkeeping to Keith Michael. I'm sure you'll appre- ciate it, Keith. Am I right? Norma Smith very reluctantly leaves behind a picture of that sailor in China to jean Allen. Con- fidentially, the boy doesn't go with the picture. To Martha Myers, Mary jane Moran presents her driver's license. Only a rocket ship can beat her record. Charles OlConner very willingly wills his height to June Brass. What will you do with it all? WE think you ought to know that Marvin Fry has accepted wholeheartedly Harvey Myer's seat in P. D. class. Let's not give the teachers too rough a time, Marvin. Since Stella Fry and Martha Feigles never have too much to say, they think it only fair to have Jane Youtz take advantage of this gift. Not that you need it, Gab. To Mildred Bair, Dick Nuss gives his heart. Donlt return it broken, Millie. Dick Whipple leaves his taste for nothing but the best in women-folk to Arnold Smith. Take good care of it. To Mildred Bayler, Ruth Sasso wills her ability to argue while Eleanor Hicks leaves behind her cigars. You can really go to Congress now. Betty Bellak presents to Dorothy Cotner her hu- morous personality and laughable manner. Treat them kindly. We have received information that our popular pin-up girl of the Salvation Army, Madeline Booth, gave her position to Alida Kerstetter. Watch those poses! To Jimmie Hill, Dick Garnhart bequeaths his title as captain of the A. C. Basketball team and hopes they win every game. Dot Drick and Raona App give pleasure in will- ing to Arlene Anderson and Diane Eaker their out- standing recitations .n Miss Long's class. Put forth a little effort, girls. Butch Balliet agrees to give Johnny Bilhime his 31way letter. We hope it doesn't get moth-eaten. To Kay Michael, Harold Drick bequeaths his quaint manner to get along with a certain girl. See Harold for advice, Kay. Arlene Rosenbaum, our queen on roller skates, thinks janet Anderson could use them to get to school faster. Never put them in reverse. joan Taylor leaves her cud of gum to Ann Vreden- burg. You'd better put it behind your ear before you go to English class. To Bill Danley, Ben Sevison presents his smart remarks in Chemistry class. We could do without it. To all tomboys Jackie Bennett leaves behind her ability to have a boy's name and still act like a girl. CSometimes.J Engagement ring. are flying so Florence Rishel gives her diamond to Genevieve Derrick. We hope it fits. Austin Artley and George Covert leave their vast holdings in farm lands to Earl Fry. Don't let the milking interfere with your homework. To June Houseknecht, Betty McManigal presents her fur coat. We hope you never run into that lamb's brothen Evelyn Shaffer leaves behind her shorthand notes to Mary Lou Kahler, while Imogene Bankes gives Rita Hall her meek ways. For anyone seeking information about the philoso- phy of chess, Robert Myers gives his knowledge willingly. If you like chess, it's likely to prove exciting. Bruce Sones bequeaths his technique in getting dates with Turbotville girls to Kim Smith. Still water runs deep, Kim. To Tommy Umlauf and Larue Smith, Gladys Ellis and Mary Barbour leave their trumpets. See if you can give Harry James competition. joan Hitesman, against her better judgment, feels it her duty to present to Regina Feigles her blonde hair rinse. A double dose does wonders. To Kilroy, in tenth grade, Lewis Bogart leaves his skill on the typewriter. No erasers allowed. Lois Lee leaves her place at the piano to Mary Gruber. If you don't C sharp, you'll be flat. Weldon Fausey and Maurice Beiber present to Bogey Marshall and Bruce Miller their shyness around women. Handle with care. To Connie Heim, Phyllis Balliet wills her power to play Cupid and still not land a man herself. QNO offense, Phyllis.l ' Alice Derr has decided to give Florence Little her great love for one man. As if you need it, Floss. Does anyone want a proposal? Erma Kahler gives to any girl of age the many she has refused. Dick Rogers presents his place on the honor roll to Bob Smith. Do you need it, Bob? Seeing a great opportunity to help someone out, Tommy Heilman bequeaths his ambition for being a good class president. To Martha Lee, Charlotte Weaver sends her book entitled, Being Quiet and Liking Itf' Silqnce is golden. Last, but not least, the class of '47 wills to M. H. S., its affection and sincere grati- tude for 12 happy years. Thus, we close our last will and testa- ment, given at Muncy Muncy Creek High School, this 19th day of May, in the year of our Lord, 1947.

gfcwd .Mdfory Punching the first eyelet in our new shoe in 1935 we served the first step of our apprenticeship under Miss Koons, Miss Minsker, and Mrs. Dice. John Coppes added to the merriment of the year by pull- ing a chair out from under Betty jane Baker and had to sit in a corner awhile. We ended this year by scrubbing furniture and then having a party. In the attempt to punch our second eyelet we had Miss Dunlap, now Mrs. Hartman, Mrs. Goodenow, and Mrs. Kschinka as our instructors. This year joan Hitesman lost her hat in a snowball battle. We left second grade in a cloud of dust created by Mary jane Moran and her classmates partaking in a sand battle. Our third year found us with Miss Dewald QMrs. Elderj, and Miss Stahl fMrs. Stahll, leading us. This year, Mary Barbour, among others received a ruler on her dainty little hands administered by Miss Dewald. Jack Schoch and Joanne Taylor being scientifically-minded wanted to see what made a gold- fish tick, and they found out that a goldfish will not tick unless in water. We climbed the steps to fourth grade this year to be greeted by Miss Hafer fMrs. Schochj, and Miss Berriman now Mrs. Fry. This year proved to be less eventful except for Miss Berriman pulling the hair of some pupils and Delfred Holmes being sent home all the time for his glasses. Beginning our fifth year, we found the ejelets becoming harder to punch. Miss Brelsford Qlvlrs. Grahml, and Miss Waltman fMrs. Voneidaj, led us through the year. Dot Riley entertained us this year with her melodic voice. Sixth grade found us under the leadership of Miss Waldron and Mrs. Ksehinka. We were joined this year by the Barlows-English refugees. Brian was fascinated by what he thought to be peculiar window shades. Betty McManigal and Benton Sevi- son made news this year with Ben completely cap- turing Phyllis Balliet's heart and Betty continuously biting her fingernails. The seventh year of our apprenticeship found us going downstairs to a new and different routine with Miss Waldron and Mrs. Arthur as our leaders. Gladys Ellis and Kenneth Harrison had their love affair interrupted when Mrs. Houseknecht intercepted one of their many notes. The instructors for our eighth year of apprentice- ship were too numerous to be correctly remembered. This year jane Bergquist added to the intelligence of the class and Arlene Grove and Betty Lou Boyer to the merriment. The atmosphere was sweetened when someone, unknown to the rest of the class, emptied a bottle of very expensive 1Oc a bottle Blue Waltz perfume down the ventilator. After punching the ninth eyelet our shoe begins to take on a better appearance. This year Mr. Girven and Mrs. Latshaw at the beginning of the year and Mrs. Rogers at the end, led us through a very eventful year. At the commencement exercises the essay award was presented to Gladys Ellis, the poetry awards to Dorothy Drick and Richard Rogers, and the American Legion awards to Joanne Taylor and Richard Nuss. Our tenth year found us nearing the end of our appenticeship under the skilled leadership of Mr. Grist and Mr. Musial. Almost every Sunday after- noon you could see students of Mr. Musial's biology class out looking for seeds although very few were gathered. The second year algebra class seemed to have great difficulty but managed to get along with Mr. Crist's able assistance. Beginning our eleventh year we were under the instruction of Mrs. Martin and Mr. Myers. This year Bookkeeping, Physics, and Plane Geometry added to the troubles of many. Many of the girls namely: Arlene Rosenbaum, Alice Derr, Martha Feigles, Eleanor Waldron, and Emma Kahler de- cided to add to the industriousness of the class and work at Weldon's. We ended the year with stand- ardized tests. The twelfth year found us under the leadership of Mr. Myers and Mrs. Engelhardt. Much time was spent on the editions of the Scoop and the Yearbook. A class party was held at Tom Heilman's and a good time was had by all. And having had our shoe polished as much as possible by the teachers Cwho, incidentally, developed a good sole lclass soulj on our shoel, our shoe is ready to be laced for us to start out on the sidewalks of the world.
