To whoever is in need of it, I JOHN MONONEN, transmit my even temper. I hope this bequest will be appreciated by all who have to tread gently near those whose tempers are made of much more inflammable material than mine. I, DORIS KOPP, pass along to Dora Zeppettella my ability to get such an imposing list of grades. But, Dora, budget your time well, because the midnight oil is rationed. My beautiful rosy red blush, I, GORDON STOKER, will to most anybody, though I don’t know who would want it. Doggonit, I bet that I am blushing right now. I, CHRISTINE JONES, part with my ahead-of-the-times notions of school styles. They are for the use of any junior, for whatever purpose her discretion indicates. In order that the kids next year will know some of the local dirt, I, KATHRYN NELSON, reveal my “Katy Kate” methods to Delores Davis. Don’t print anything that will cause libell suits, though. I, ESTHER MONTGOMERY, leave behind my artistic temperament to Dorothy Norton, to remind others of me. You know what the artistic temperament is supposed to be like, don’t you? To Eunice Hicks, I, HELEN CLARK, bequeath my willowy figure. There are no beauty secrets. Also she may have my unobtrusive nature, that must be a welcome relief to the faculty. My methods for successfully putting off assignments, and sometimes not even doing them at all, I, RICHARD BUNNELL, pass along to Joe Greenfield. It will be easy for Joe to make use of this bequest, because there is nothing to do. I, JAMES QUINN, hand down my passion for checkers to whoever will sharpen his wits for battle at noon in the typing room. He will probably get plenty of competition. Since my loud laughter won me so much criticism from various teachers, I. PHILLIP PUFFER, honor Gene Spieldenner with this distinquishing feature. May he know, more often than I did, what he is laughing about. And, last but not least, I, JEAN LOUISE TITUS, drained of thought and probably in dutch with everyone afore mentioned testators, bring this will to a close, hoping that everyone will accept my remarks in the friendly spirit in which they were meant. I bequeath this will-writing task to whoever the junior class feels would be able to stand up under the strain demanded. In Witness, Whereof, we have hereunto subscribed our names the 21st day of May in the year of our Lord Nineteen Hundred and Forty-three. Signed: Class of ’43, Attorney—Jean Louise Titus Witnesses (Seal). 19

Junior Class History The juniors were a small, but mighty class this year having the good fortune, because of their number, to be all in one room—which made it nice and cozy. The year started off with a bang with the presentation of their play, “An American Is Born,” which definitely opened the eyes of a lot of people to the fact that a foreigner can be a loyal American no matter what his nationality is. Hats off to the juniors for an excellent performance. The juniors proudly placed three members of their class, Barbara Kaiser, Shirley Blood, and Edward Moisio on the National Honor Society. That, underclassmen, is the reward for hard work. Six members of their small class—Georgiana Kako, Nevia Jean Congdon. Barbara Kaiser, Flora Hall, Bernadine Yusko and Bill Philley are the proud possessors of A Capella pins. As for the members of the Pilot Light staff—Ruth Akerley, Bernadine Yusko, Georgiana Kako, Helen Fisch, Audrey Kirkwood, and Frances Main toook care of that and nothing escaped their watchful eyes. Robbie Puffer was their only contribution to the basketball squad, but what a contribution! He certainly did a good job and backed the juniors heartily; however he's got a bigger job awaiting him next year. Besides the class officers: president, Barbara Kaiser; vice-president, Gene Spiel-denner; secretary, Shirley Blood; and treasurer, Gertrude Shumake; they were represented by Georgiana Kako on the Student Council. Sophomore Class History The sophomores settled down to a quiet school term this year (pardon me, but did I say quiet?). Well anyway they seem to have done a good job in keeping the study hall under control and have participated in many school activities. Delores Davis, Bernice Hershey and Katherine Cole put their news in the Pilot each time to let the rest of the high school know that they weren’t slackers by any means. Five members of the class were on the varsity. Richard Wheeler was their pride and joy as he was on the first team and what a player! Nice going, Richard, you certainly earned, their praise. Richard Olsen, Omer Kirk, Bill Neal, and Tommy Kantola were the other sophomore players. There were more sophs in the a cappella choir than from any other single grade; namely, Joe Shore, Clair Bunnell, Dean Beckwith, Allen Ritari, Richard Olsen, Kay Graff, Alex Elonen, Altha Bates, Delores Davis, Jane Hibler, Lois Wallace, Mary Lou Torrence, Martha Fiala, and Howard Irish. Gordon Turner was president of the Latin and Photography Clubs. Vice-president of the Latin Club was Altha Bates. They were guided through the year by president, Richard Wheeler; vice-president, Howard Irish; secretary, Dorothy Cook and treasurer, Bernice Hershey.
