We, the Little Sisters of 1953-1954 in our unquestionably sound bodies and questionably sound minds, have looked into the stagnant pool in the west cherry aisle and have discovered the futures of the picaresque Nine.’' The first bubble to break the surface revealed Miss Timmy Ba-aa-alch constructing a greenhouse adjacent to her stables. Orange blossoms and strains of La-de-da-dum” seem to have brought about a great change in our Timbo. What we saw next surprised us so thoroughly that we lost our balance and in we went. Mrs. Ernesta Ballard had completed two years of Landscape Design, two years of General Horticulture and had returned for three years plus a summer session of Agriculture. Ambition must lead somewhere. In our attempt to swim out of the pool, we pushed the algae aside. Beneath it we saw a horticultural wonderland. Brooklyn!!! There beneath a Tree of Heaven, delving for information covering the relationship of the onion to the petunia in Bailey’s, reclined Andy. While we were climbing over the side of the pool, we saw Nancy on a ledge in the rocks happily pruning her grapes at midnight beneath arc lights. At least she learned something in Fruit Class. As the ripples of our movement settled, a paper floated to the surface. The headlines were Kleinewefers’ Snapdragons Take The World.” A bullfrog jumped out of the pool and in his melodious voice sang forth news on Carol’s progress. She had recently returned from a lecture tour on the correct way to fumigate Green Houses. Before the frog left our company a parade of water spiders skated by pushing and pulling Audrey so she wouldn’t be late for her speaking engagement at the current Poultry Convention. A mischievous, dancing water sprite followed, and being brown, reminded us that Jeanie’s greatest ambition was to own a CHOCOLATE ice cream factory. A little research proved this to be true. As the golden rays of the setting sun illumined the pool, we realized the time was growing short, so we left to the music of Mollie Stock’s All-Girl Jazz Band. 28

5L CU We, the Senior Class of 1954, do hereby foist the following upon you — being unable to pawn them. Carol leaves her love for Hobart” to Emmy Smith. Timmy leaves her interest in bug” dissection to Sara Weidman. Jill Dunham is left Nancy’s quiet (?) personality and tactful comments. Eva gives her extra inches to Robbie, and her German dictionaries to Jay Hemmer. We leave Jo Davis Andy’s backscratching department, and her love of new clothes to Joanie McCool. Jean leaves Putt her productive cat, with the hope that the future will bring Snow-flurries, and not Blizzards. Mollie leaves her interest in birds to Mary Calwell, and her quietness to Ruth Swartley. Eva leaves her acting talents to Ginger. Carol gives her propensity for picking up traveling sailors to Bobbie Reeser, and the remaining branches of the Armed Forces to Uncle Sam.” Nancy’s famous third drawer goes to Patsy Lee, if she can hire a truck large enough to move it. Mrs. Ballard leaves her new blue ’Wagon” to Peggy Duncan, so that she will no longer have to use the 'public transit.” (Hey, wasn’t that hockable???) Timmy leaves her library key and the arrangement of Dewey’s decimal system to Randy. Jean passes her pleasant ways on to Jum. Mollie leaves her nightly rendezvous in the greenhouse to anyone who needs a good excuse. Nancy leaves Sue King a little peace and quiet (at last)! We give Mrs. Ballard’s Chestnut Hill soil samples to Sue Hespenheide to test. Timmy leaves her love of Patty to Pot, and her horse liniment to Helen Fugate. Janna Bruins is left Jeanie’s love of animals. Eva leaves her German bike to Mary Koehler for her weekly jaunts to town. (Don’t worry, Mary, the seat’s adjustable.) Mrs. Ballard’s famed trip to Mexico goes to Molly Able. Schoudel and Etzwiler leave their empty coffee cans and bent burner to Pat Birge. Andy leaves her position as custodian of the back door to Sweeney. (Now it’s your problem to figure out how to sneak in the late returners.) And to the school, we leave a new refrigerator to go with the new hinge, and a new rope with which to start the sprayer (Good luck, and heaven help you!!). This is our last will and testament, and shall remain unchanged forever. Cherish and care for these gifts — who knows, someday they may have antique value!!! Signed on this day, the fourteenth of August, THE SENIOR CLASS Lawyers: X, X, X, and Son. Witnesses: Audrey Schoudel Nancy Etzwiler Carol Landa 29
