Now it is alright for a person to be conservative with money, but Robert Reasy is so miserly that he will not buy razor blades so he can shave before coming to school in the mornings. Richard Boltz never used to study until Patsy left and now he is studying all the time. I wonder if she had anything to do with it. Jerry Allen comes to school a little more on time this year but is always complaining of a headache. Leonard Grose is always hollering his head off when he takes a test because of this question and that; but he always comes through with A's. Betty Allen is a pretty good student but she seems to be a lot better at hitting basketball goals than she is at hitting typewriter keys. Mrs. Kibler seems to have taught the girls quite a lot about cooking and sewing, but the girls wish that Mrs. Kibler would let them make more cakes and candy. Mr, Dickerman is a nice principal and all that; but when he makes the boys duck-walk across the gym he creates enemies. It looks like he could be a little easier on the boys in athletics. Mr. Sparling is a good enough teacher most of the time, but there are days when he is awful grouchy and hard to get along with. We wonder if it could be because he has made a long trip to Sabetha. Now you can see why I'm always in a bad humor. If we could just get rid of these faults, we wouldn't need 2 Class Grumbler. 12

Class Grumbler As the official class grumbler I feel it my duty to grumble about things I think are wrong with my school. Take Buddy Bauman, for example. He is always interupting class recitation to tell something about his neighbors. He very seldom gets to school on time, I think his '36 Chevy needs an overhaul job. La Rae Chandler is always talking without permission and when she is called down, she quickiy forgets about it and starts talking again. I think she should try to control herself more in school and on the basketball court. Barbara King is just as bad as La Rae, in fact, they work as a team in carrying on a constant stream of conversation. Two of a kind, I'd say. Laura Smith is the quiet, reserved type. If she would go out more often she would then see the brighter side of life. Raymond Hoover is always hollering about the poor grades he gets in school, But if he would get his mi nd off Naomi he would get A's all the time. Vaden Allen, like Raymond, has difficulty passing tests. He should stay in school instead of Chariey McCali's Junk Yard. Naomi Minor seems to have plenty of pep before school begins, but once the bell rings she seems to lose herself in daydreams. We wonder if some Sabetha boy is causing those vacant stares. Lucille Reasy seemes to be a perfectly healthy young girl. It seems that she is unable to walk to and from school and must ride in a blue Chevrolet. Aurellis Grose was a perfectly normal girl until she was given a part in the play Just Ducky , in which she went crazy. She still hasn't returned to normal. Perhaps she doesn't know the play is over. Mary Ann is a good girl and all of that but the way she struts around here you would think she was the whole Junior class. 11

Class Will The Senior Class of 1951, of Oneida Rural High School, in Nemaha County, Kansas, being about to end its existence as a class, being of sound mind in fact, having a well crammed mind, and superhuman understanding with a memory that was never known to fail, do make and publish this, our last will and testament. I, Leonard Grose, will my ability to pass agriculture tests to the Freshman boys, my typing ability to Annie Hughes. I will my scholastic ability to Buddy Bauman, and my position on the basketball team to anyone who is fool enough to take it. I, Richard Boltz, will my ability to study history to the Freshmen, and Sophomores, and my ability to impress the girls with my curly red hair to Vaden Allen. I will my ability to get to school on time to Lucille and Buddy. I, Betty Allen, will my ability to play basketball to Naomi Miner, my back seat in study hall to Aurellia Grose, my ability in Home Economics to the eighth grade girls, and my health book to the Freshman giris. I, Bob Reasy, wilii my ability to argue with the teachers to Buddy and my position on the basketbail team to Raymond, and my good grades in agriculture to the Freshmen. My C in History to the Sophomores and my seat to anybody foolish enough to become a Senior. I, Jerry Ailen, wili my sunny disposition and my ability to get along with the teachers to Raymond Hoover. I will my ability in Math to Vaden Allen and my ability to sleep until noon on Monday morning to any of the Freshmen who may need it in the future years. The Senior Class wilis to the Freshman Class, our favorite expression Wait a minute . The teachers like to hear it so well that they add twenty-five percent to our deportment grades every time it is used. We suggest that they use it during the next three years in High School to encourage the teachers. 13
