Gem Will. .. We, the Senior Class of 1951, being of questionable state of mind, do hereby make, publish and declare our last will and testament. We bequeath to the faculty and stu- dent body some of our most invaluable possessions which we no longer need. ARTICLE I To the board of education we leave our fond hopes that in the fall of 1951 they will be able to view with satisfaction the completed addition to the school. To Mr. DeGood we leave a portable FM radio with the hope that he will be able to hear the 1951 world series much more clearly than he did this year. To Mr. Bender we leave an assistant who will do his work for him as capably as Carole Evans has done. To Mr. Brownson we leave winning football, basketball and track teams, and a few orderly gym classes. To Mr. Sobers we leave a Senior Class as intelligent as our but not quite so dead after the Christmas holidays. To Mr. Clinger we leave a second year typing class larger than ours so he can get twice as much work done for the office. To Mr. Simpson we leave a contract with Spike jones for the summer and he is to be paid for hissinging, too.

To Mr. Knutsen we leave classes of English students who of their own accord will so well acquaint themselves with the day's assignments that they will be able to take part in each day's discussions -- at least be able to comprehend the discussions of their fellow students. To Mr. Semilia we leave a half dozen new belts and a superbly brilliant chemistry class. To Mr. Wicks we leave a completely furnished home for use when he returns from his hitch in the Navy.

To Mrs. Rumbaugh we leave our hopes that before school starts next fall she will get the automatic bell system she asked for. To the busdrivers we leave buses especially equipped with snow plows for use in winter driving. To thc cooks we leave our thanks for feeding us so well during the last year in spite of inflation.

peladdpfzopftecq... It is the year 1961, and we now find New London, Ohio, one of the largest tele- vision centers of the world. The class of 1951 from New London High are very happy to be invited to appear on one of the programs which is on channel 113. .The object of this program is to see what happens to a graduate ten years after graduation. Let's look in to see what has happened to the class of 1951. .We find that Sterling Franklin is Editor of the New London Times, one of the largest newspapers in the city. 'Don johnson and Richard Weekley, who like to experiment with different things, have ,made a rocketship, and were last seen on a trip to the moon. Maybe they got there, who knows? The class of 1951 had several students who chose the teaching profession. We see that Carole Evans is an elementary teacher in Cnadenhutten Schools. She is having a hardtime keeping bubble gum from her students, as their favorite pastime is throwing it on the ceiling. Nancy Herr is a kindergarten teacher in California, She thought she would teach' kindergarten so the students wouldn't know more than she. Ruth Motter, fomierly Ruth' Burner, is an art instructor in the New London Schools. Her students are now able to draw Mickey Moose after one year of training. We see that Shirley Patchen is head nurse at the Toledo State Hospital. The report is she has all her patients in straight jackets. All is quiet for the time being. Patty Lash, also a nurse there is helping Shirley keep it that way. Poor Patty is really busy. DeLee Hileman has become an opera singer and has now joined ludy Canova on her radio program. Nancy Harrod, who is slill resolving to be an old maid, is head librarian at Oxford, Ohio. Mary Kay Sengstock and Sandy Schafer have taken over the program of ':lrma Sandy is playing the part of Irmai' and Mary Kay is playing the part of Jane. The pro- gram is as crazy as ever. Dwight Sackett, a well known photographer in his high school days, is now operat- ing Sackett Studio in New York City. He is taking pictures of Powers and Conovers models. Some one told us Dwight enjoys his work very much. Wesley Ritchey is an All American Professional football player. He 'plays tackle for for the Cleveland Browns, he also plays back, WAY BACK . Wayne Perkins, another star football player is now football coach at Ashland. By this time he has lost the nick- name of ,'Grumpy and after a season of no losses, is called Smiley by his friends. Don Ross, better known as Barney Oldfield, is now still five car lengths ahead of the State Patrol, and was last seen flying through Ruggles. Betty Goldsmith and Virginia Shuman are now employed at the Fitchville General Store as bookkeepers. We hear that they are very efficient, as they have time to check their work often. Eu ene Youn married his hi h school sweetheart and the are now livin in Ru - 8 S 8 Y 8 S gles. Eugene is raising minks, the report is that it takes several minks to make a fur coat, but maybe his wife will have one someday Cor some yearj.
