SENIOR WILL I We, the Senior Class of nineteen hundred and fifty-five, realizing that we are about to pass into that delirium called life which will finally end in death, while still retaining our sound mind, do hereby make this last will and testament. ARTICLE ONE To the faculty we leave the first peace and quiet they will have had since we entered this institution, and also we leave the summer in which to recover from our sudden departure from their presence. ARTICLE TWO Realizing that we cannot be present next year, we, the Senior Class, request the freshmen, sophomores, and juniors to copy our behavior exactly so that the incoming frosh may see an example of our most excellent de- meanor and being impressed by its perfectness, adoptfit as their model. To the frosh we leave a little advice. 1. Love thy teacher under all circumstances. 2. Don't brag about getting into high school--it probably was a mistake. ARTICLE THREE I, Ronald Taylor, hereby bequeath to Floyd Gibson my ability to get along with the girls in 6, 7, and 8th period study hall. I, Larry Battson, leave my ability to sign my own report cards to anyone who thinks he can get away with it. I, Dick Carl, doon this day will my gigantic nose and slim waist line to Frank Burlingame. I, Mary Malone, will my accidental ability to do the splits to anyone who can do it better than I, without get- ting hurt. I, Rosemary Gibson and I, Charlotte Palmer, leave our ability to pop popcorn in sewing class to Myrna Sex- ton and Darlene Macomber. I, John Ostergard, will my distinguished manner to Wayne Frost. I, Dale Bray. hereby bequeath my frequent tardiness to Gary Carl. I, Don Simmons, leave my expert ability to climb mountains to Marion Bland. I, Jesse Ross, will my beautiful curly locks to Walter Smith. I, Lillian Erickson, bequeath to Bonnie Sutton my ability to get a driver's license on my fifth attempt. I, Henry Witt, will my expert ability to skip study hall and watch the grade school games to Larry Vendervort. I, Virginia Gleason, will my quiet personality to Myrna Sexton. I, Daniel Gleason, leave my cute mustache to any boy who can cultivate it. I, Chuck Smith, bequeath to Chuck Butterfield my superb ability of quick thinking when teachers catch me out of class, in hopes it will help him when he gets in a jam. 1, Lane Johnson, will my expert ability to take out fence posts without damaging my car, to Floyd Gibson. I, Bill Beckwith, leave my flashy clothes and quiet disposition to Gerald Pickernell. I, Deed Grandorff, and I, Bertha Donley, will our ability to play hooky and to go out and have a ggod time to Laura Hamilton. I, Frank Michalak, will my car and its numerous paint jobs to Ed Palmer. I, Norma Hunger, will all my long distance telephone calls from California to Marlene Menish, because I know she would just love to be getting them too. I, Rolfe Moe, will my blue eyes, blonde curly hair and dimples, to Gerald Pickernell in hopes that he will like them better than I. In witness whereof, we, the undersigned, being of unusual discretion and pronouncedly superior mentality, living in the city of Oakville, county of Grays Harbor, state of Washington, do on this twenty-fourth day of May, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and fifty-five, duly affix our seal and signature of the afore mentioned last will and testament of this said class of Masterminds. We hereby appoint as sole executor of the Senior Class of 1955 of this last will and testament, Professor Margaret Clark. SENIOR HISTORY Seniors at lastl We started our Senior Year with 21 members. We had one new member, Norma Hunger from Eugene, Oregon. Later on at the semester we gained Dale Bray from Elma. We lost Wesley Steele who went to Palmer, Alaska. Our class officers for our Senior Year were as follows: President, Rosemary Gibson, Vice-President, Jesse Rossg Secretary, Bertha Donley, Treasurer, Dick Carl, Sergeant at Arms, Corky Taylor, Student Council Repres- sentatives, Deed Grandorff and Rolfe Moe with Charlotte Palmer as alternate. Our first event of the year was our Senior Mixer in honor of the poor frightened little freshmen. It went off with a bang and was huge success. On November 28, 1954, we gave our Senior Play which was entitled Take Your Medicine It was a hilarious comedy and it took place in a hospital room. After our play was over we startedthirking about announcements, cards, caps and gowns, and Senior pictures. The school had a carnival and the Seniors had the concession booth which was set up like a restaurant.
