To our wise and industrious faculty we leave the unregretful relief that your efforts to train and guide us will not be wasted and may our future efforts prove this true. To our surging successors, the Juniors, we leave the rights and privileges that truly belong to the Seniors, that is, to reign supinely over all Gregory Land. To the plebian Sophomores, we leave a tonic, which taken systematically, will rid you by next September of Sophomoritus. For the unrefined Freshmen, we leave a warning not to follow in the footsteps of your immediate predecessors. Herewith set forth are some individual bequests to humiliated heirs: Joe Lee wills some of his giggling girls to David Gustafson. James Beaver leaves his well worn iumping rope to Joe Winters. Joe Spexarth bequests his beautiful bass vocal style to Pat Higgins. James Howard leaves his Iieutenant's iob in the C.A.P., plus 20 lbs. to Hays Smith. To John Whittington, Bob Benton wills his love of the navy. To Sam Griffin, Dennis Sheahan would like to leave all his perfumed hairclressings. Let us take leave of our personal bequest for a moment in order to mention the fact that we are graciously leaving all our private arbor-laned walks to the Seniors of next year, This privilege should be used wisely. John Vosburgh wills his basketball-bucketing ability to his brother Jim. Phil Ruscha gives his one and only man about town routine to James Burbank. To Richard Sanabia, Bob Meng leaves ye-old-barber's chair plus some old barber- shop-quartet ditties. Bob McClendon wills his gum chewing ability to anyone who desires strong chompers. Tom Stark gratuitously gives his unhurried habits to Tom Watts. To Fred Martin, Hank Bradley bequests his beloved three-little bears T-shirt. Wear it with honor, Fred. Here we would like to make another bequest, this to the ultra-fortunate Sophomores. We benignly bestow on them the privilege of attending next years Junior-Senior prom. Wow! Generous John McCullough wills his fascinating hair-style to Tom Goodall to be worn only on special occasions. Warren Koeller leaves his wide awake attendance in class to John Olden My, John, how your profs will love you! Daniel Tarzan Tellez wills his love of the out-of-doors to John Duffy. He'll have to find his own tale. To Cletus Stein Mike Scully wills his badly badgered but beautiful, football helmet. To David Langan, David Chostner leaves his sleeping seat in English IV. Bradley Helbing bequests his well-loved studyhall desk to John Zahler. George Martin wills his muddy boots and dusty saddle to Fred Franz. To Bill Lindsay, Kevin Lutz gives his ability to stay out of trouble. Ralph Foster, you lucky fellow, you get Wilfred Goevert's managing iob To the unexperienced Freshmen we relinquish from our advanced vocabulary one word. Learn the meaning of this word well. The word is girl Jim Marky bequests his identifying Texas accent to Bill Holloway. Charles Reffner bequests his printer's iob to Tommy Martin. Jack Krall wills' his hashing horrors to Wayne Ellis. Jim Hendrickson wills his mathematical ability to Cletus Mages. lt may be of some use. To Bill Eckroat a surprise package, he gets Ray Burgett librarian's iob. Marvin Brunner said to give an inch or two to Sherman McNally. Paul Jaeb, is the winner of Dan Kavanaugh's swimming trunks.

Krall and Brunner. Burgelt and Spexarth tend their laundry. emor Class Prophecy Dear Fred, On a recent tour of the U.S.A. I saw most of the class of '56. John Vosourgh operates a large chain of restaurants in Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas. He spends a good part of his time sampling the menu. Charles Reffner is editor-in-chief of the New York Times, is married and has six children. On my hop from New York to Chicago, James Howard was chief pilot on the latest ietliner. We had heavy head winds but we seemed well ballasted. Maurice Barenburg owns a world famous private detective agency while Joseph Lee is his chief detective, some say quite as shrewd as Sherlock Holmes. Wilfred Goevert is a Maryknoll Missionary in Africa.. He likes the climate and says the monkeys bring back such fond memories of St. Gregory's. Arkansas City has the honor of having Warren Koeller as mayor. Warren is a likely candi- date for governor of the state this coming election. Tom Stark has made a career of the army, he is a colonel-wears the eagles rather well, too. He was having them polished when I talked to him. Dennis Sheahan has a frog farm near Wichita: he is married and has five children. Robert Meng also lives on a farm near Wichita but has several oil wells and spends much of his spare time poaching frogs from the Sheahan puddles. James Beaver has realized his high school ambition to become a child psychol- ogist. He practices in Little Rock. Our alma mater has a new rector, Brad Helbing, who says the boys are still like they used to be back in the grand 'ole' days of '56. Ray Burgett has a prefect's iob. They say he has re-established the rule of the old iron fist. Fierce was the word used. Bob Benton is still working at Swope's in Shawnee. He really sells the gas. Champlin is considering him as a iunior partner. David Chostner lives in Seattle, Washington, where he is an electrical engineer. He moved to Seattle after marry- ing a certain Shawnee girl. Daniel Tellez inherited a fortune from a rich uncle and now spends most of his time fishing from his yacht off the coast of that lovable California. Bob McClendon won the 500 mile race at Indianapolis again this year-his fifth straight win. You've never seen such driving! In Oklahoma City Hank Bradley is publishing a daily paper. Hank complained the paper interfered with his hotroding. Phil Ruscha drives a truck between Ok- lahoma City and Sioux City, Iowa. Phil says he likes the iob very well and would never think of changing for another. He's really put on weight-was chewing tobacco when I talked to him. James Markey is a traveling Fuller brush salesman. He makes his home with wife and four children in Wichita Falls. Would you need an extra vegetable brush-I can send you one? Jim Hendrick- son is still trying to get a degree in sanitary engineering at Frank PhilIip's Col- lege in Borger, Texas. He says he is positive he could make it sometime within the next five years. Dakota Jack Krall owns a ranch in the Black Hills. He raises stock for some of the biggest rodeos in the country. You should see his boots! Dan Kavanaugh has a fine reputation as a lawyer in the big city of New York. He has taken some of the most famous cases in the past few years. I was impressed by his mustache. John McCullough plays the drums in a iazz band. He plans retiring to his farm in Sherman, Texas, in a few years. Mike Scully is a math professor at Oklahoma University - at present work- ing on a theory of numbers. Mike has been married ten years now and has five boys. George Martin is a life insurance salesman in San Antonio. His hobby is playing the clarinet on the back porch. The Cleveland Indians had Marvin Brunner as a pitcher for the past ten years. Rag Arm plans to retire at the close of this season to manage a ball club. The quiet member of our class, Kevin Lutz, entered a Trappist monastery in Nevada shortly after leaving St. Gregory's Joe Spexarth is a navy medic on board an atomic submarine. He says being St. Gregory's infirmarian had nothing to do with his joining the Navy. He was attracted by the larger size navy pills. Yours truly,
