sENioR CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1955, three of our present number, began the first grade in dear, old Stayton Grade School. These were Stanley Brown, Eldon Jordan and Elaine Maisel. Our first year proved uneventful, we even seemed to enjoy ourselves. Beginning the new school year in the second grade we were joined by Clare Burch and Velma Raph, who helped us carry on our tradition of being a remarkable class. In the third grade we picked some more brilliant stu- dents, Carol Titus, Naomi Morgan, and Wayne Lierman. By this time school was getting to be a habit rather than something new, but we all made it into the fourth grade where our nstar football' player, Wayne Follls joined us. The fifth and sixth grade passed without any new addi- tions. . In the seventh grade we picked one new member, Mabel Hougardy. . The eighth grade proved a little more-generous we added three, Rose Sheffer, Merle Limbeck, and Burdette Rice. f The next year was a little tough on us but we added to our number to endure initiation these were: Alfreda Kenley, Agnes Poole, Normalene Lynch, Barbara Smith, Lois Blum, Laura Fery, Doris Van Handel, Glenn Archibald, Herald James, Ronnie Johnson, Bob Curtis, Bob Freres, Theone Pieser, Delores Archambeau, and Louise Snoddy. ' In our Sophomore year we added one member Clinton Wilson. By now we were a pretty large class, but in our Junior year we added a few more to our number in the form of, Ed Marshall, Dale Hopper, Fon Brown, and in the last half Norma Roesberry. In our final year lwe keep telling-ourselvesl, we added a Junior to our number who found she had enough credits to graduate with us, she is Alice Sanberg. This concludes our history which is much like all other classes, but to us is very important. 4

THE SENIOR CLASS WILL We, the class of 1947, in the Town of Stayton, the County of Marion, and the State of Oregon, being in as good mental condition as usual, and in much better temper than usual, do hereby make this, our last will and testament, rendering void and of no avail any former will or wills, that may have been previously made by us in a period of tem- porary optimism. We realize that when we have passed on into our separate destinies there are many things that we must leave behind, as we cannot take them with us. . A Therefore, in this manner we do dispose of our posses- sions. To the Junior Class, soon to be seniors, we leave our text books, desks and teachers. Use them well, and pass them on to the next class in as good condition as you re- ceived them. Also, to the Junior class we leave our dig- nity, ambition, and above all, our wisdom. The latter gifts, we hope, will help to overcome their present inertia. To the Sophmores, next years' juniors we leave our quiet manner in class, a profound sense of humor, and our patience, without which they could not possibly get along with the seniors. To the Freshmen who entered this school untried and ten- der, and who, in a few months will have become sophomores, heartless and cruel in freshman initiation, we leave our old test papers. Since they have come thus far alone, and shown such astonishing good sense, we will help them the rest of the way. We give them fair warning, however, that some of the answers may be wrong. To the Freshman class of the coming year we leave four long years of school, also, a map of the school building, so that they will not get lost and roam about in everyonevs way looking for classrooms. We include with this map a pam- phlet entitled, nHow to Tell Teachers.n The legatees will notice this book is not Nwhatu to tell teachers, but nhowu. It contains specific information abont which teachers can be bluffed, which are easy and which are hard to please, and those whom it is impossible to please. It tells who your favorite authors must be to stand well with the English teach er, which history teacher is especially fond of Napoleon, and what questions to ask to make the science teacher forget the lesson and be interesting. To our janitor, who has served us faithfully through- out the years, we leave any bits of paper, pieces of gum, candy bar wrappers, scuff-marks on the walls, and finger-
