SENIOR CLASS WILL We graduates or ’4$ form a perfect all-around group The reason for our believing this is THAT ALL REPORTS REAOHI NO US OECLARE THAT WE ARE CAPABLE OF MAKING UP OUR OWN MINOS; ABSOLUTELY ABLE TO CONOUOT OURSELVES AS LA 01 £ S’WHEN WE FEEL LIKE IT; WELL—SUPPLIED WITH THE SOUNO DETERMINATION TO 00 AS WE PLEASE, WHEN WE PLEASE, ANO WHERE WE PLEASE; ESPECIALLY OLEVER AT OONTRIVINO ALL SORTS OF EXCUSES FOR GETTING OUT OF CLASS; ANO AOEPT AT TELLING OTHERS WHAT TO 00 EVEN THOUGH WE NEARLY ALWAYS HAVE TO BE TOLO WHAT TO 00 OURSELVES. FROM THESE NUMEROUS ENCOURAGING RETURNS FROM OUR PARENTS, THE FACULTY, ANO OTHER ADULTS IN GENERAL, WE OEDUOE THAT WE ARE THE POSSESSORS OF VALUABLE TRAITS WHICH MUST, Or OOURSE, BE LEFT TO THE REMAINING STU DENT A IN THE Rock Island High Sohool after our departure in May. Here is our Last Will ano Testament: We leave our sponsor, Ur. R. C. Miller, and OUR NEW OESKS IN THE STUOY HALL TO THE JUNIOR Class, who, we hope, will appreciate both as much as we have. We also will some individual characteristics to a few of our followers. Goldie Johnson bequeaths her oancino ability TO ALL WHO don’t KNOW HOW. Lillian LaGrange bestows her aptitude in the ABSORPTION OF THE FUNDAMENTALS OF ORAMMAR TO Earl Waits who can use it. Her pretty hair bows, she wills to Oorothy Henry, who never WEARS ANY. Jean Waddell wills her ability to pass a driver’s license test to Oorothy, who ooesn’t EVEN KNOW HOW TO ORlVE YET. Eunice Trapp wills her ability to boss people to Esther Curry. She also leaves the name Shorty , bestowed upon her last year by senior J0y DeFoor, to Ruth Miller Ruby Garoia leaves her oish-washino technique to Annie Ray, who will have the task soon.

It just won’t wait, it’s moving on now. OhJ What a large river. It looks like the Mis- sissippi. Now I see a town coming into view. ■Jackson, Mississippi , announces the city limits sign. The objects in view are moving more and MORE SLOWLY AND FINALLY THE MACHINE FOCUSES ON A cafe. I see Ruby Lee Garcia insioe lookino: at HER BOSS WITH A CERTAIN GLEAM IN HER EYE. COULO THIS BE LOVE? He IS LOOKINO AT A PRETTY MILLIONAIRE WHO JUST WALKEO IN, BUT OF COURSE HIS OLANOE IS JUST AN EYE FOR BUSINESS . My.' What was that louo noise? I oidn't know the See-All was equippeo for souno. Oh, it's Junior, one of my five chiloren breaking my best VASE OVER HIS OADOY S HEAO. I'm FORCED BACK TO REALITY —BEING IN MY OWN HOME IN WHITE CI TY, NEW Mexico with my husband who I met in Houston, Texas, when I thought I was going to be a oareer GIRL. I CHANGED MY MIND THOUGH, OR RATHER MY HUSBANO CHANGEO IT FOR ME, ANO HERE I AM JUST A HOUSEWIFE with five KIOS TO KEEP ME BUSY. Oh , HAPPY SCHOOL DAYS.’ THINKING OF SOHOOLMATES REM I NOS ME. I CAME IN HERE TO GET THE CHILDREN’S CLOTHES PACKED. I MUST GET BUSY IF I INTEND TO GO TO THAT CLASS REUNION WE RE HOLDING AT ROCK ISLANO TOMORROW. LET ME SEE. WHAT SHOULD I DO? Sew buttons on instead of pinning the places WHERE THEY’VE BEEN TORN OFF AS I USUALLY DO, OR BUY NEW ONES? I WOULDN’T WANT ANY OF THOSE GIRLS TO THINK THAT I 0AN T ORESS MY CHILDREN AS WELL AS THEY CAN OR THAT l M NOT A GOOD HOUSEWIFE. Dear meJ I wish I were.'
