SENIOR CLASS WILL We, MARY JOECKEN and JANET BROWN, leave to Clara Woodworth our talent for pro- ducing the most and loudest cracks with our gum. If the study hall teacher becomes sus- picious, quickly stick the gum behind your ear. To Donna Benton, I, JOYCE BARNARD, will my musical talent. Don't allow this talent to become too well known as opportunities to play for devotions become all too frequent. I, VELMA BECK, will a few inches of my stature to Carol Cook. This added height will be helpful when saying good night to the young man of your life. I, JOYCE ESTEQS, leave my exceptional dancing ability to Sally Ceedar. This is an effective way to hold the boy of your affec- tions close. To Betty Babel and Charlotte Cole, I, PAT MILLER, leave my affection for higher mathe- matics. When you are down at the point and run out of things to do, you can always count the harbor lights. I, Bing Crosby BUNNELL, leave to that Junior crooner, Charles Harke my manly voice. Always remember to smile at the sim- ple females in the front row. We, JUNE GOODENOW and RHEA ROSS, do will our bear traps, sparkling eyes, and other man-catching accessories to those attrac- tive Juniors, Lois Mook and Ruth Millison. If he d'oesn't pop the question the first night, be persistent. A bird in the hand is Worth two in the bush. I, EILEEN KANTO-LA, will to Wilma Mix my low voice in English class. It is better to keep quiet and look intelligent than open your mouth and show your ignorance. I, BILL ADAMIS, will to Gerald Teppo my Western outfit. You may reply to the taunting remark of Where's your horse, pardner? that you would rather be a cowboy without a horse than a hillbilly without a jug. I, JANET DOWNING will to Alice Emerson my punctuality. Being on time would be easier if you lived a little closer to school. I, JOHN GILMORE, leave my truck-driver physique to John Myers. Brute strength is very useful when moving heavy objects such as pop coolers for basketball games. I, PAT QUINN, leave my knack for holding a man to Pat OlConnor and Alice Smith. If he doesn't call for several days, don't lose faith, after all, man cannot live by bread alone. We, CHUCK SMITH and JANET DOWN- ING, will to those Junior romantics, Amos Blakeslee and Judy Hammond our constancy of affection. Issues of conflict should be de- cided in favor of the so-called weaker sex. Never argue with a man. To Joyce Goodenow, I, ELLEN ORREN- MAA, leave my beautiful blonde hair. Can you help it if the sun should suddenly bleach it out in the middle of January? To Jerry Curtis, I, CALVIN APPLEBY, do bequeath my unlimited vocabulary. If you an- swer all questions in sixty-four dollar words, the teacher never suspects that you don't know a thing about the subject. I, ARLENE SIMPSON, leave my cheerlead- ing ability -to Ruby Gee and Nancy Gaus. You may consider it a successful year if you meet at least five nice boys from neighboring schools. I, PHYLLIS SHIDELER, will to Joyce Dodge and Ann Chartron my job at the hos- pital. Don't be shy if a male patient asks you to hold his hand while he goes to sleep. Many a desirable friendship has had its beginning this way. I, STUART BLOOD, leave to Dick Hogle my happy times as senior class president. Vol- unteers for a concession at a basketball game may be ofbtained by mentioning that the job as chairman of the clean-up committee is still vacant. I, ROBERT WILLIAMS, leave to the suc- ceeding class lawyer of 1953 the tedious task of writing the Senior Class Will. Materials needed are a cynical nature, a wig, ready wit, and a pair of stout le-gs to Outrun victims of your slander. Signed Seals Witness

SENIOR CLASS WILL We, the Rowe High Seniors, Class of 1952, being of sou-nd mind and body do hereby pre- sent our Last Will and Testament, The Seniors of '52 as a whole leave to the Seniors of '53 our fine home room teacher. Don't be too critical o-f the teacher as she has just had a very trying year. I, CHUCK MAURER, will my ability to be constantly first out of the parking lot to Rich- ard Downing. If anyone attempts to dispute your privilege to be first after the busses, make your intentions clear by opening an assault on his fenders. I, DICK SEBETICH, leave to Dick Hogle my way with the animal kingdom. This talent may prove a very useful asset if there is a horse show and a very beautiful lady solicit- ing help from a tall, handsome young man from the audience, I, hot rod ROBERT WADDLE, do be- queath my ability for avoiding police detection to Richard Downing. However, if you are caught speeding, thirty days without a license isn't so long. To lanky Richard Humalainen, I MAURICE WRIGHT will my diminutive stature. If the teacher can't see you, chances are slim he will call upon you for recitation. I, JACK KARAL, will to Larry Howard my Model T Ford coupe. You may not be able to pick up very many girls but after all one at a time is enough for any Don Juan. I, BURTON JACKSON will to Chuck Pen- niman my part-time job in a drug store. The strange characters you don't meet there, you meet on the way out. To Nancy King, I, NANCY KASKI, will my beguiling walk. It may not get you places in a hurry, but why worry? This is the mechani- cal age. I, HOWARD WILLIAMS, leave to Robert Johnston my preference -for Conneaut girls, This arrangement promotes a longer friendship be- cause she doesn't know how you behave in school and you donyt know what she is doing. I, FRANK COLE, leave to Gerald Teppo my enormous appetite. Continual eating will, in time, ruin your figure but right now we both could stand a little weight. I, PERRY LONGAKER, leave to Howard Nelson my passion for stratosphere travel. As this mode of conveyance will prove somewhat expensive, I advise you to have wealthy par- ents. To Amos Blakeslee, I, CHUCK SMITH, will my Wizardry on the pitching mound. When in doubt as to what to throw, let go with a high curve at his head, This is an infallible de- moralizer. I, ALBERT PHILIPS, leave to Delmas Ben- nett my Arthur Godfrey ukelele. Also you may have one copy of my favorite song My Dog Has Fleasf' To Dick Blood, I, DELTON FULLER, will my curly red hair. What possible use you can make of it is more than I can see. I, ALLEN WADDLE, do bequeath to Thomas Dean my job as official score keeper for all Rowe basketball games. This job may have its drawbacks but there are compensa- tions when you get a seat on the bus next to a cute cheerleader. I, JERRY GEE, will to Larry Howard my ability to indulge undisturbed in a refreshing slumber during study hall. The trick lies in your ability to appear to be reading a book. As I have plenty to spare, I, CHUCK OLM- STED, will some of my height to David Brown. A few more inches in a vertical direction might help your basketball skill considerably and I could spare them. We studious cousins, HARRY BROMFIELD and JERRY SPECHT, will our scholastic dili- gence to that ambitious student, Jerry Curtis. The trick is to get the teacher off on a totally irrelevant subject and keep him from discov- ering that you've failed to prepare your les- sons. I, STAN PAZDZIORKO, will to Richard Blood my smooth line with the weaker sex at Rowe. If she coyly mentions that her hands are cold, tell her, with matching coyness, to sit on them. That always gets 'em. I, JACK FURRY, will to that successful Romeo, Richard Blood, my Toni Home Per- manent Wave Kit. With naturally curly hair no woman can resist you, As I have more than I really need, I, LOIS WOODWORTH, leave to Pat Olson a few of my numerous beaus. Do not make the disastrous mistake of having more than one date with more than one boy at any one time. I, JUNE COLE, will to Rosemary King the rather dubious pleasure of having a brother in the same grade. Care must be taken to have a choice bit of information in reserve to tell your mother in case he uncovers something about you.

SENIOR CLASS PROPI-IECY Gosh, I'm glad I stopped off here for to- night instead of going on to New York on that stuffy ol' train-besides I might see someone I used to know. It was just twenty-two years ago this month that I graduated from dear old R. H. S., and since then I've rather lost track of the old gang. Oh well, I guess I'll mozey over to the park and read my paper, Well, the Pilot Light , I can remember when that was the name of the paper published at Rowe. And the same old lighthouse too. And will you look at these headlines! HSTUART BLOOD has thrown his hat into the ring for the presidential race. Well, he'd make a good president. He surely did a fine job of guiding our class through our last two years in high school. And with that guy who is the best twisterupper 0-f words, HERK WILLIAMS as his running mate I'm sure he'll win. I wonder if any of my classmates are men- tioned in the paper, let's see now- Professor MAURICE WRIGHT, of the U S, Department of Agriculture, has been called to the planet'Mars by JUNE and FRANK COLE, to investigate a new bug that has made an appearance on their experimental farm up there. t'Yogi APPLEBY is returning from Egypt where he has been studying the art of yogism at first hand. I wonder if he really did kill that fish in the aquarium by staring at it day after day in science class. JACK KARAL has the honor of being the first pilot to fly faster than light. Boy, think what an asset that would have been when we were on our way home from school or a late game or dance! On page two I see that times have really changed. 'LPAT QUINN, former assistant clerk of the Lakeville Police, is now Police Captain and has arrested CHUCK OLMSTED for mak- ing 'unnecessary noisesl in the residential sec- tion. Will you look at what happened to the medical students of our class, PHYLLIS SHID- LER, EILEEN KANTOLA, and MARY JOECK- EN! All three were forced to join C. I. O. No. 111 of the Butchers Union of America. I hope JACK FURRY can make up his mind which girl he wants now because I see by the paper that he is now President of Andrews School for Girls. What a break for Casanova FURRY! According to the Society Page ARLENE SIMPSON, the star reporter for the Light has just returned from Shang-Hi where she interviewed JOYCE ESTES, who has a beauty shop over there in China but closed for finan- cial reasons and has now opened a laundry. The former Misses JANET DOWNING, RHEA 'Hippie' ROSS, ELLEN ORENMAA, and JUNE GOODENOW feted VELMA BECK recently at a farewell party. VELMA, living in the house on the hill, became very adept at climbing, and is now the world's most renowned mountain climber and will soon attempt to conquer Pike's Peek. JANET DOWNING is the wife of CHUCK SMITH, the twenty-five game winner of the Lakeville Indians. LOIS WOODWORTH, after world tour, is now returning to her old home to teach those that are interested, the art of Ballet. JOYCE BARNARD is a very successful sec- retary, in fact so successful that she is marry- ing her boss. Was that part of the Commercial Course at Rowe? BUD BROMFIELD, that most eligible bachelor, is spending his three-month vacation this year at the Bar-B dude ranch owned by Cowboy BILL ADAMS. The Book of the Month Club is featuring two books by former classmates also. Men Are A Menace, or How to Catch A Man In Ten Easy Lessons, by NANCY KASKI, and Teachers Are Gulli- ble or How to Charm A Good Grade Out of A Teacher, by DICK SEBETICH. Well, I guess if anyone would know, it would be DICK. JOHN GILMORE, the playboy who owns seven bright- ly painted Cadilla-cs, has been seen escorting a very beautiful woman around lately but he won't tell who she is. Gossip has it she's a charmer from Paris, On the advertising page, I see that BURTON JACK-SON, manager of Crombie's Pharmacy is announcing that those two world famous chemists, BOB WADDTLE and ALBERT PHIL- LIPS, who have discovered a way of making gold out of copper, will be present at his store on National Chemistry Day. Here's an item! 'tDoes your car feel tired and let down? Bring it in and let us give it a facial and body mas- sage. Girls, before you take the car home after a drive, bring it into us so hubby won't know how many cars and curbs you nicked. The Body and Fender Shop owned and operated by the Doctors of Motors DELTON FULLER and CHUCK MAURER. I also see where JERRY GEE is now owner of the new Conneaut Cream- ery Co. How that fellow liked ice cream! He'll surely consume all the profits. Here's an interesting ad. Girls do you have brunette, brown, or black hair? Remem- ber men prefer blonds. I have been experi- menting with my own hair for twenty years now and I know just how to catch the golden glints. Call 00-000 or stop in at JANET BROWN'S Beauty Salon. Young lovers come to the Mid-Way and kill two birds with one stone, A colossal double feature consisting of Blood and Sand and Lost Loves-Mgr, HOW- ARD WILLIAMS. Well, I see on the Sports page that STAN PAZDZIORKO, new coach at Rowe, turned out another winning basketball team this year. He's a good guy. It reads here that the Hell- Drivers are appearing at Rowe Athletic Field featuring the world's craziest driver, PAUL BUNNELL. Well, what do you know! Wrest- ling is coming to Lakeville, featuring 'Man Mo-le Hill' alias JERRY SPECHT, and also starring tGirdle Gripper' alias PAT MILLER. And will you look here on the comic page! 'The Demon! by PERRY LONGAKER. I won- der if that kid at Boy's State still ghost draws them for him. Well, even though I didn't get to see the old gang, I at least know now what each is do- ing and I'm happy to see that each has done very well for himself. Well, I might as well hit the hay, my mis- sion is completed.
