Gl U Will We the Senior Class of 1953, being of sound mind and body, do hereby make this our last will and testament. A score less than eight years ago, we unfortunates entered this worthy Institution wholely unprepared for the massive tasks that lay ahead of us.' Since that dismal day of Sept. 8, 1941 we have been Jilted, robbed, pushed, kicked, and literally dragged through 12 long years of hard labor. We fortunate survivors, however, have managed to collect in some odd form something we hold dear to our hearts and will never forget. We now endeavor to pass these treasures on to the lowly under-classmen. Harry Atkinson happily bequeaths his speed, endurance, and go-getting stamina to Rita Zerble, and knows she will make good use of It. Juanita Atkinson wills her hot lunch job to Ronald Johnson--who s do- ing pretty good for a beginner. May you keep it up faithfully for the next three years. To the present Junior girls Joyce Brandsma leaves all her old boy- friends. Don’t fight over them girls, there should be enough to go around. Iona Brewer says her lawyer is out of town on business, you know, the fellow from Endeavor, and she refuses to make a statement until his return. Vaneece Cross says she hasn’t anything to leave except Dick and she wants to hang on to him for awhile. Betty Lou E. leaves her quiet and friendly manner to Donald Van Swol. Clifton P. wills his ability to sleep in class to Clark W. and his athletic technique to Dick Lueptow. Flora G. leaves all her stationery and pen to anyone that needs it during school hours. Just be careful so you don’t get caught writing letters. Nancy Hatcher leaves her position at Badger Girl’s State to this years lucky girl. Bob Heaps wills his ability to stay thin to the girls of P.H.S. Arlene Hepler wills her quick learning abilities to Robert Griepentrog and hopes he will be valedictorian of his class. Bill Johnson generously leaves his ability to do nothing to the little man who wasn’t there. Margaret Larsen bequeaths her musical talent to Kenny Ereneman. May he some day be great. Lou Ann McDonald-.............-...................she will just leave. Dean Milton generously leaves his dear old 1936 Dodge to next years cheerleaders so that tney may have a float of their own in the annual foot- ball home-coming parade. Drive carefully girls.» Eldon Pulver bequeaths his artistic talent to Dick-Reardon. May he become another credit to the many generations of master painters. Don’t be too happy about your inheritance, Dick, these fellows usually don’t be come famous until after their death. Jerry Reardon gives his ability to get along with teachers to Harry Geisler who should really appreciate this gift. Your worries are over Harry. Wanda Rohrbeck bequeaths her annual editor work to Pat Toppe. May they have a good annual next year. Betty Schultz bequeaths her quiet ways to Janet Morgan. We hope she makes the best use of them. Warren S. bequeaths his speed and ambition to Norbert G. who can stand some leading the band. OH YES--and Marilyn? During the week Mr. Altenburg has an extra job looking after her. (The week-ends are taken care of.) Douglas Smith leaves his way with the women to Larry Lynch. What a romeo he will become! 14 Page Sponsored By ROSE WHITEY WERNER

GIgAA, Pnj pliecy Everyone is bustling with excitement, all seem to be hurrying toward the home of Pansy Yokum, society leader of Dogpatch. And no wonder this, is a big day for everyone] Pappy has just purchased Pansy a new television set and the whole gang is over setting it up. Yes, sir, there is Lil Abner Daisy Mae, Mammy and Pappy Yokum and just about every other citizen that can walk or find a way over. It looks like they finally have it set up. There is Lil Abner twisting, turning and pushing all the buttons and at the same time trying to remember the instructions the salesman gave Pappy and him. He seems to be getting something now, there--it is coming into focus. This is station P.A.R.D.E.E. T.V., centrally located in that thriving metropolis, Pardeeville, Wisconsin. Ladies and gentlemen, I now present for your entertainment, the Bulldog1 s Bark.. As you all know every Thursday at this time, and through the courtesy of our sponsor Uncle Ned’s Salted Peanuts, we bring to you a program devoted to our high school. With 27 roving cameras located all over the world, we bring you a behind the scenes picture of a previously graduated class of P.H.S. Today we have for you that wonderful class of 1953. Sports flash]] Today, ladies and gentlemen one of the most astound- ing upsets in the world of sports has taken place. Harold Atkinson, alias ”The Pardeeville Flash”, has just wrested the world’s heavyweight wrestling crown from former champ I. C. Starrs. Juanita Atkinson certainly is a success in the medical world. She just got her promotion and is head nurse at the Mayo Clinic. We just caught her in time folks. There is Joyce looking over the new super-sonic space ship. It is claimed that this new-fangled contrap- tion will make a round trip to Mars at an average speed of 70 million M.P.H. Now don’t get excited folks, Joyce just came down to say good-by to her husband who will be leaving immediately. She wouldn’t think of flying in that thing. On her last trip to the moon you know, she got tooclose to one of those moon men and caught that rare, mysterious disease, Maddining Moon- its. We now see Iona and John R., happily married. Right now Iona is do- ing the family bookkeeping. She keeps count of all the income and expenses of their little farm. And I’ll be darned if there aren’t a couple of little debits and credits playing with their blocks in the kitchen. Reach for the sky hombre, or I’ll fill ya full of lead]]] Oh, excuse me folks, I just got carried away a bit. You see that scene now on your screens is from the new movie Cross Beats the Double Cross. And that wild cowgirl in the center Is the star, Hop-A-Long Cross alias our old classmate, Vaneece. We now see Jean Smith portraying her dancing talent as an instructor at Arthur Murray’s in New York City. One of Jean’s former classmates, Betty Lou Ebert, has Just arrived for her second rhumba lesson. Betty’s husband is a lumber tycoon and so Betty has nothing to do but spend money.
