A party was held for the honored freshmen at the Upper Shelder House that night At the county fair the class sold tickets at the rides and Susan Schroughams was elected queen. Results of the cheerleader elections were announced, and Madeline Shields was elected for the third time. The next class project were magazine sales. ln October the Seniors held a combination Pep Rally and Dance, two nights before the opening of basketball season. The annual staff worked hard from October until March, completing the '59 Talisman. The Senior play, entitled THE NERVOUS WRECK, was a great success. The cast and director, Mrs. Gondring worked diligently to make it so. Sylvia Childs won the Betty Crocker Homemaker award, and Madeline Shields became the Good Citizen of Brown County. For the first time Ioumalism was taught, and that class published THE SENIOR SCHOLAR. Representatives of the Student Council were Howard Zody and Dave Gordon. In April, the Seniors held a basketball game between students and businessmen. Senior class officere are, Larry Crabtree, Presidentg Dave Besslre, Vice President, Madeline Shields, Secretary: and Charles Roush, Treasurer. Mr. Warren Ogle, Principal, sponsored the class. Baccalaureate Service was held Sunday evening, at 7:00 o'clock, on May 24. The exercises were held in the Christian Church, with the Rev- erend Edward Simon officiating. Commencement was held in the Multi-purpose room, of the new grade school. The class held a student -commencement, with speeches from the Senior class President, the Valedictorian, and the Salutatorian. The date was May 27 During June the class took their Senior trip, spending four days in New York and two in Pittsburgh. This was an exciting and wonderful time for us. 1 W, We, the Senior Class of '59, even though proven to be mentally unstable, and physically incapable, and disregarding the advice of their psychiatrist, do hereby declare this their last will and testament. To the community, the faculty, and majority of students, we will nothing. Our reasons for this decision are, first we feel that as a class we have salvaged nothing that they want, and anything that we might have, we will surely need in the forthcoming years. The few things that we individually possess, and feel noteworthy, we leave to the following people: I, James Alvey, bequeath to Scotty Ayers, all my girl friends of the Mickey Mouse Club. I, Nancy Arthur, will my ability to keep my mouth shut in fifth period study hall to Mary Lou Followell. To Eddie Rose, I leave my fingernails to chew on. I, Dave Bessire, will my loving ways with the women to George Meek, and my ugliness to Dan Crabtree. I, Barbara Bessire, will my ability to carry on the family name to Judy Bessire. May she keep it popular with the faculty as Ihave done. I, Sandra Akers, leave my long blond hair to Bettie Smith. My ability to switch schools every year to Margaret Winninger.

Ican remember so well, all of the studentsg shooting paper wads, cheating on exams, laughing and joking. Remember the thrill of skipping school for a day, or sending someone to the store for candy and potato chips? Sad but true, those days are gone forever, and in their place we find these same students scattered all over the world. Take Charles Leffler for example. Charlie moved to New York soon after graduation, working for an aviation company I think. I believe at present, he is studying take-offs. Bave Besslre inherited a large sum of money from a rich relative, and bought himself a cargo plane. He's now a part-time playboy and bush pilot, wooing the Eskimo squaws, and flying shipments of banana trees to the Northern reaches of Canada. Joyce Cox tried to get out of Brown County for several years but couldn't quite make it. The last we heard, she was stable girl at the State Park. Charles Roush planned on playing professional ball, and tried out for the St. Louis Hawks, but unfortunately dldn't make the team. He returned to Brown County where he is employed as janitor of the Old Hickory. Pat Scott moved out west, where she is sole owner of a potato farm in the Idaho back country.
