Cleo Hoodley, is still looking as young as ever; she is a famous modiste, whose shop on the Rue de la Pa iz is the last word in style and expense. She drapes a strip of velvet, a drop of sealing wax, and two chicken feathers on the head of one of her defenseless countrywomen, gurgles, Tres, chic.tres charmante, charge her ten times what the hat is worth and gets it. Joyce Adams, is guiding uncertain boys and girls into their proper life work, helping them to choose unerringly the one fitting vocation. She looks at the members of her huge class and says, counting them off on her fingers, bricklayer, minister, pawnbroker, general, singer, nursemaid, businesswoman, and they arise and become what she called them. She is the head of the vocational guidance department of a large co-educational institution in the Middle West. Fred Lantz, is the head chemist in a laboratory that is known all over the civilized world. His experiments have been so successful that he has isolated the germs of hay fever, laziness, love, and hate. He has exterminated mosquitoes, flies, chewing gum, motorcycles, and rollerskates. So drastic are his methods in dealing with disease that every germ still in existence wears a life preserver, day and night, in constant dread of being captured by him. Melvin Matson, is a stolid, slow moving chap, who will never display either speed or animation. Can be trusted implicitly never to hurry. He will find his proper position in life early. He will become a plumber's assistant--the one who goes back for the monkey wrench and can’t find it. He will continue in that restful occupation until he dies of old age. Larry Taylor, is an interesting case. An overdeveloped imagination and an underdeveloped digestion are producing a wonderful result--the ability to concoct the weirdest tales at practically a minute's notice. In fact, this ability is so remarkable that his conversation consists almost entirely of weird tales. Those who know him well never believe him, and strangers seldom. Being an intelligent young man, he will turn this talent to account. There are two courses open to him; He may become an author; but that affords insufficient scope for his gifts, as the tendency now is toward realism. No, he is destined for greater things. He will become a real estate salesman, selling Florida lots by the gross to the inhabitants of Labrador. Carroll McNurlin, has an athletic body and a lethargic mind--the patient type. He likes to sit and watch things. His calm disposition, combined with his ingrained inertness, make him the ideal type for a sports promoter. He cannot be manager of a ball team or a boxer, as that would require too much moving about. He will have a race track built up the side of his house, keep a stable of racing snails, lie back in a hammock, and gaze at the cool gray stone of the track, as his faithful snails craw on and up to victory. Kathy Weldon, has anartistic ability, keen business sense, and an understanding of the so-called human race. A dozen years from now she will be a wealthy cosmetician, proprietor of Ye Beautifier Shoppy--alterations while you wait--an up-to-date shop, combining the arts of beauty culture and plastic surgery. People--men as well as women- -will enterlookinglike sixty and emerge looking like sixteen. She will become the most famous skin renovator and face lifter in the world and always ben anexcellentadvertisement for her business. Ella Meridith, is one of the most interesting cases of the many I have studied, possessing psychic power to a remarkable degree. This is shown clearly by her vague, indefinite manner. She has a low visibilty and a high mind, in tune with the infinite and on familiar terms with the spirit world. In the years to come she will achieve world fame as a fem-inineSir Oliver Lodge, and her seances will be attended by all the best people and enough others to make them as crowded as a rush-hour subway. Bev Myhre, is a charming type, domestic and capable, but with a slight inferiority complex, due to the unfortunate fact that once she received only second prize in an inter-nationalbread-bakingcontest. Ten years fromnowshe will be the happy wife of a prominent business man with the nicest home and the best meals in town. In addition to that, she will be a lecturer on home-making, - -the kind who tell people, over the radio, how to build a front porch out of packing boxes and how to feed ten people seven days on twenty-three cents apiece. Patty Snavely, is not a modern type. She is persevering, not easily discouraged, and never gives up. She will find it hard to fit into the life of today, but one great opening awaits her. In this great age of endurance contests, she will become the champion of champions by simply making up her mind what she wants to do and doing it. By 1970, she will be the world's undisputed channel swimmer as, once dropped in, she will swim back and forth until her manager remembers to come and fish her out. Felicia McManaman, is a very ordinary case, having no outstanding characteristics. She is fond of light music--the kind you type with one finger. Since infancy she has rimed words with ease. She wishes to be a poet but finds difficulty in securing subjects about which to write. She has no knowledge of music and would never make a poet. Her future is plain to see. Fifteen years from now, she will be a very successful song writer. She will be receiving royalties by the barrel from such songs as Monte Carlo Moon , and There's a Ga-ga Girl in Guatemala. Kay Fusselman, is a strange case, troubled by a recurrent dream in which she is a canary bird being chased by a cat. She told me she thought the dream meant that she would be the keeper of a pet shop. Quite wrong. She will be a great singer. She is one now, mentally, but not vocally. As soon as she learns to turn her tone images into audible sounds she will have all the leading prima donnas looking up the first train for home. In 1970, she will be singing the title role of any opera you may name, in the Cosmopolitan Opera House, and not recognizing her friends when she meets them on the street. Before returning the “Who's Who and Why to its place on the library shelf of the future, may I congratulate the class of 1956 on the brilliant success each of its members is about to achieve and on its famous future. LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the Seniors of the class of one thousand nine hundred and fifty-six of sound mind and body and having reached the highest achievement of this institution, namely St. Edward High School, in full possession of a crammed mind, well trained memory, and superhuman understanding, do place our most prized possessions into the noble and worthy hands of our successors, the Junior class, soon to be Seniors, to the Sophomores, soon to be Juniors, and to those who will, in the fall, become Freshmen. We have made no mention of the present Freshmen class which will be known as the Soph-more class in a few months. We have left them nothing, because by that time their self-valuation will have attained such heights that nothing in our possession would be regarded by them as worthy their distinction. We bequeath to the under classmen our good luck. It made us what we are today, and it should satisfy them. In addition to this, all our privileges and rights as Seniors in classroom will revert to them, as well as any notebooks, pencils, fountain pens, unfinished business, including debts contracted while engaged in the business of being a Senior, also any boys or girls whom we may have left behind in our haste. To our dear old school building itself, we leave the peaceful quiet caused by our absence and any apple cores, wads of gum, or crumpled notes we may have left about. To our principal we give and bequeath a sense of relief that we have at last been graduated and pleasant memories of our four years together, and a feeling of pride in any great deeds or noteworthy achievements that our future may contain, realizing that such glories--if any--will owe much to her example and counsel. To our teachers, the faculty of the St. Edward High School, we hereby give, free from all inheritance, luxury, or income tax, our entire store of knowledge. From them it came and to them it should be returned, that others may be benefited by it as we have been. To our teachers we bequeath our valuable sense of humor, without which we should have found school life painful indeed and which will do much to make it endurable for them. We also give and bequeath to the teachers our very kindest regards and our sincere gratitude for their unfailing kindness and aid. To the history of the St. Edward High School we bequeath our illustrious deeds and our names as candidates for the Hall of fame. We also leave the words and music of our school songwhich, though not beautiful, is very durable. Its sentiments and phrases have been in active use for the last hundred years and shows no signs of fatigue as yet. To the glee club and the band our ability to watch the leader and the audience at the same time, do we also leave. We may have lost a measure or skipped a beat in the music occasionally, but we never missed anything--or anybody--in the audience. We bequeath to the dramatic club, our varied and surprising talent--a talent that could interpret a character with so much originality that its own author wouldn't know it. To the Junior class we give, reluctantly but of necessity, our mantle of dignity. We realize that the class can never fill it but,since it is expected of them, our advice is Grin and wear it. Beside these bequests, we leave our best wishes to any and all who may desire them. Any property or personal possessions of ours that may remain in addition to the items specified we give and bequeath to the St. Edward Board of Education to use as it sees fit. We can think of nothing that we have forgotten except our old books, and we suggest that they be given to the Freshmen class, thus saving money which may be applied eithertothe teachers' salaries or toward the purchase of mouth organs, ukuleles, and kazoos for the school band. Of course, this is entirely a matter for the discretion of the school board. In witness whereof we, the class of 1956, the testator, have set our hand and seal on the 11th day of May in the year of 1956. WITNESSES: KAREN WERNER JOYCE ADAMS ' • SNEAK DAY hous r yi;MarCK1 at 4'30 arn sleepy Senior s arrived at the school house to put up signs before going on their Sneak Day .
