Faff e H HIGH NEWS We, the class of 1938, being of sound mind and limb, supposedly, do hereby bequeath to those who will endeavor, however unsuccess- fully, to follow in the paths we have blazed, our many attributes and virtues. First, to the faculty, our profound grati- tude and the wish that they may be more lenient with less deserving classes than they were with us. To the Juniors, we leave with our best re- gards, our seats in room 24. To the Sophomores, we leave our sports- manship and ability to chew gum without get- ting caught by the teacher. Especially to the Freshmen do we leave our ability to remain in school during the four years of hard work. Carroll Biser, president of the class, wills his masculine physique to Emerson Ridenour. With your eyes and that physique you ought to be a knockout, Emerson. Lee Happel, vice president, bequeaths his “way with the women” to Delbert Biser. Luella Smith, a studious little blonde, leaves her outstanding athletic ability to Vir- ginia Lumm. Richard Slick wills his chin whiskers to Thomas Werbebaugh—also a couple of dull razor blades. Ruth McAfee bequeaths her place as li- brarian to Mary C. Newcomer. Jane Wade wills her straight hair to Car- rie Baker. Gail Beard leaves his knowledge and his good marks to Richard Jacques. Doris Olsen bequeaths her excess height and ability to miss school to Annabelle Smith. Richard Bollinger gives his ability to ob- tain “ads” to Pauline Kipe. You must be able to argue and convince. Roger Rowe wills his quietness to Beulah Walters. A generator wears out, sometimes, Beulah. Lucille Hartle leaves her winning ways to Julia Baker. Develop them, Julia. Victor Kline wills to George Lentz his pe- culiar cough. Now you can make some noise, George. Sudie Hershberger bequeaths to Pauline Blickenstaff her position as mail carrier. Elsa Kretsinger wills her claim upon “Joe” Rouse to Mary Sensenbaugh. George Gardiner leaves all his knowledge in French to Geraldine Kipe. Elizabeth Frey bequeaths to Violet Boswell her giggling. Dale Fishack wills his reputation as a bass horn player to Edwin Beard. Earl Martin gives to Wilber Clark his bash- fulness among the girls. Lena Kuhn leaves her excess weight to Lu- cille Fost. Gladys Wiles gives her individual walk to Mary Dattilio. Now you can strut. Mary. Julia Jacques, the greatest arguer, leaves this ability behind to Virginia Winders. Jabber, jabber. Now, who does that re- mind you of? Of course, it’s George Martin, and he leaves his chatter to Norwood Winders. Ida Mae Forrest wills her knowledge of present-day happenings to Mabel Kuhn. Hilda Smith wills her shyness toward the boys to Catherine Deal. The boys like to rest once in a while. John Dattilio leaves his place as manager of the basketball team to Donald Sensenbaugh. And Charles Willard will play “She’ll Be Coming Around the Mountain” on his harmon- ica. “Charlie” makes a great sacrifice when he leaves his glory to Robert Maclay. Richard Gaver leaves his happy-go-lucky life to everyone whose name was not men- tioned in this will. Probably they will profit by their treasures most of all.

CLASS PROPHECY (Concluded from page 6) We returned to the ranch and found, to our surprise, Sudie Hershberger, who was vaca- tioning in the “West after her great success on the New York stage. The next day about noon, while repairing the corral, we heard a rattle and looked down the road to see a Model T coming up the lane in a cloud of dust. When the car stopped and the passengers stepped out, we recognized them as Hilda Smith and Ida Mae Forrest, wives of our two entertainers. They said this was the third time their husbands had run off and this time they were going to chain them fast. Carroll and I decided the week of June 17 would be Old Homecoming Week for the class of ’38 and that we would be responsible for a gay celebration. In order to preserve this diary, we have stored it away in mothballs until 1958 when we shall again endeavor to reunite the class of ’38. Yours ’til 1958, Carroll and Richard G ®(l l)
