New Bloomfield High School - Beacon Yearbook (New Bloomfield, MO)

Hazel Craighead wills her contagious friendliness to all next year’s poor frightened freshmen. Ruth Weibel leaves her hysterical giggle to Riley Keeling, but for the sake of the school we hope Riley refuses it. Letty Hickman gives, bequeaths, and leaves her instructions on how to catch wolves without an iron trap to Wanda Rich. Peggy Holt leaves her undivided attention in the Merchant Mar- ines to Henrietta Rice. Keep on your toes, Henrietta. It has been said, “They are hard to hold.” Pauline Bratton leaves all the slightly used gum under the 6th seat of the first row in the study hall to the unfortunate fellow that sits there next year. We, the senior girls of this years basketball team, and also our boys, do bequeath our ability to play basketball to Coach Barnard s prodigies of the coming year. Because we like generosity, we give our abilities to play without victories to the next four year s teams. Claud and Claudia Reiter bequeath their ability to get their names mixed to Harry and Carrie Baker. Betty and Letty Hickman leave their ability to look alike to Gale and Dale Nichols, as they think it very funny to fool their boy friends. Beware of the twins. Besides these enforced gifts, we leave--not of necessity, but of our own free will—our blessings, tender memories of our pleasant associations together, and our forgiveness for anything that we may not have exactly appreciated in the demonstrations of the past, and a pledge of friendship from henceforth and forever. And we do hereby constitute and appoint our sponsor. Miss Vau- ghan, sole executor of this our last will and testament. In witness thereof, we, the Class of 1946, the testators, have to this our will, written on one sheet of parchment, set our hands and seal this seventeenth day of May, one thousand nine hundred forty-six.
