SENIOR CLASS WILL We, the Senior Class of 1956, being of sound mind and body do make, publish, and declare this our- last will and testament. To the Faculty: To Mr. Kizer, the principal: Our gab sessions in 5th period study hall and the wasted announcements that went in one car and out the other. Maybe next year will be different. Right Juniors? To our Ag. teacher, Mr. Luther: I he soil from underneath our fingernails and off of our shoes so that he can grow corn. Hope he grows good corn. To Mrs. Crowson of the Home Economics Department. All the dirty dishes in the Home Making kitchen and all the left over foods in the refrigerator. Have fun! To our coach, Mr. Houser: Our gym suits and showers. Also, the boys football experiences. Better use them coach. To Mr. Sandlund, our music teacher: Our gum we’ve been chewing in class and our broken down music stands. Hope the gum tastes good. To our Commercial teacher, Mr. Paulsen: I he erasure crumbs in the typewriters and our Annual soliciting days. Do a good job. To Mrs. Chesnutt, our English teacher: All our extra money and the Reader s Digest. Lots of reading and lots of money. To our Secretary, Faye Stabler: All our talks in thj office and thanks for helping us through the years. Good talks. Right Faye? To the Junior Class: Our history tests and our trips to the magainc rack. Better luck to you than we had. To the Sophomores: Our large number of students and our getting along ability. Use it like we did. Good advice. To the Freshman: All the “hand me downs” and hope you use them better than we did. Every member of the class wishes to will some of his abilities and possessions to the underclassmen in hopes that they will be appreciated and used wisely. Sandra McMccn wills her gym suit to Josephine Amburgv, her paper route to Eddie Bannas, and her smile to Bobby Foes. How about that? Harold Roush leaves his flirty actions to Ronald Morris, his bow-legs to Carol Krahn, and his red Mercury to Jerry Wdboumc. He needs the change. lanicc Olson wills her dancing feet to Ann Bennett, her athletic ability to Joan Williams, and her ‘man getting ability” to Mary Hill, lake advantage of that Mary. Glenn Carlson leaves his butch to Arnold Carlson, his hashfulncss to Mary Ann Gunning, and his quiet lane to Margaret Carlcv and Richard Rc-denius. In the future keep on the look out in Carlson’s lane. Eileen .Miller wills her “Fan Mail to Sharon Nash, her two dates a week to Linda Moon, and her cigars to Warren Miller and Stevie Gunning. Don’t get sick boys. Wayne Stabler leaves his “Copying ability'” to Bruce Heisc, his freshness to Howard Milnes. and his “46 Chevie to any poor sucker that will take it. Whoever takes it, don’t go near any junk yards.

PROPHECY This is the report of your inquiring reporter on the activities of the 44th annual reunion of the class of 1956 which was held in the Flamingo Hotel on Millionaire Avenue in Neponset, the city that is fast taking the place of Las Vegas as the fun capital of the United Stares. Janice Olsen, private secretary to Wood Stevenson, Governor of California, related some of the more exciting moments of her career, but they are not for publication because she is incorporating them in her memoirs entitled LIFE IN THE WOOD HOUSE. Senator Wayne Stabler appeared to be a bit out of breath, but explained it was a result of his filibustering in Congress for his new Anti-Work Bill which he was trying to get passed. Eloise Folgcr, the women’s interplanetary drag race king breezed in to join her fellow classmates. I asked her to what she attributed her skill, and she replied, “I owe my twenty straight victories to the early training and practice that I received while still in High School. Those two eminent members of the nursing profession, Eileen Miller and Sandra McMeen were discussing the relative merits of the hospitals they were in charge of operating. The last two members of the class of 1956, Harold Roush and Dr. Glenn Carlson were in deep discussion. Harold, fresh from his newest acting triumph, “Perils of a Bigamist” (lighting his cigarettes with Si00 checks) was trying to get more information on the new anti-biotic that Glenn had discovered, and Glenn was trying to get Harold to act as one of his human guinea pigs. The drug had something to do with shrinking swelled heads. Well that’s all for this column, I hope you enjoyed it. Printed page Wilkinson’s Office Supplies Tracy’s Garage
