r ,, 4 611155 Will We, the 1944 senior class of Tama High School, being of superior minds, indolent natures, and be- ing much too busy to bother with legal language, do swear and declare that this is our last will and testament, hereby cancelling all-well, nearly all--previous promises. First: To our valiantly struggling faculty, we leave unclassified memories, a new gray hair for each day, and a C-card for the trip to the insane asylum. Second: To the underclassmen of THS we leave our varied talents, our irrepressible humor, and our enegetic natures. Third: To the students and teachers alike we bequeath our theme song, Oh, How We Hate to Get our energetic natures. ,fmfzfidual Wills Mabel Abbott leaves her ability to whisper in Coach's study hall-and get away with it-to the poor unfortunates who don't possess this talent. Lily Amcha leaves 1,578 pages of lesson plans for the use of future normal training students, in case they are still reckless enough to take the course after seeing them. Emily Boriskey bequeaths her locker to anyone who can make the combination work, with the warning: Stand aside when you open it-you never know what will fall out. Norma lean Brown donates the contents of her locker to the paper salvage campaign, with con- fidence that it will relieve the shortage. Vernon Brown just wants to leave. Period. Ruth Burnes wills her long hair to the boys with butch haircuts. Evelyn Chyma leaves her high basketball scoring average to those optimists who think they can hit the wastebasket from across the room. Doris Cory leaves her kind, sympathetic nature to the faculty, for use on those unfortunate occa- sions when students don't have their assignments. Gail Feisel bequeaths the library-and Iohnny Nelson-to anyone willing to take them off her hands. Ruth Finzen leaves a pen and a bottle of ink for the general good. She hopes future classes will find them as useful as this class has. Lynn Frink leaves his quick come-backs to the athletes for pep meeting speeches. Cuma Garrett leaves her guarding ability tbasketball, of coursel to Ina Mae Mochal, for defending herself against people who persist in patting her on the head. Hazel Hanus leaves a collection of two-inch pencils as proof of her hard work, and as evidence that the school needs new pencil sharpeners. Iune Hardon leaves her collection of servicemen's addresses to start a lonely hearts club. Margaret Hegardt wills her giggle to Alyce Houston-she doesn't wan it to get lonesome. Gladys Heishman is willing to leave her nineteen nicknames to anyone interested. Pauline Hrstka wills her practically perfect attendance record to a number of underclassmen who are finding that their excuses don't work. Iulius Lauderdale leaves his inimitable laugh to any three persons who feel they can handle it.

Kathryn McGrew leaves her bashfulness to Alice Overturf. Eldon McNamee leaves his motor bike to Bud Zhorne to help him get to school on time. Mildred McMurray wills her basketball expertness to Leona McFate for safekeeping. Bob Metz leaves his economics book to Coach, who is probably the only person who would want it. Sam Miceli bequeaths his curly hair to the girls who have to pay for permanents. Iohn Minor contributes his well worn copy of Destry Rides Again to the library as a shining ex- ample of current literature. lim Mochal leaves his height to Mort. Delbert Mohrfeld donates his collection of comic books to the library in the same classification as Minor's book.

Hazel Poweshiek wills her habit of minding her own business to the future T's columnists. Maxine Prusha leaves the varied colors of her wardrobe to brighten the color scheme of the school building. Bette Ratliffe wills her leisurely, graceful motions to the underclassmen, to prevent traffic casualities in the halls. lean Reid leaves the office to the care of Norma Houston, Barbara Henle, and Shirley Nelson, with instruction to keep it neat and ring the bells early every day. Louise Soucek adds her cooking skill to the hcmemaking girls, to prevent those unholy smells of burned foods that occasionally float through the halls. Evelyn Thompson wills the muscles she developed by carrying tons of books around to the future normal training girls-they'll need them! Iohn Tomlinson passes on the privilege, willed to him last year, of driving the girls around in his car, to Bill Thill. Vernon Thompson leaves his frequent naps to Cliff Maiden, to give the teachers a little peace occa- sionally. Bob Tyler wills his artistic talents to the commercial art class. Richard Waite leaves his place of honor in shorthand class-one boy versus sixteen girls-to any- one brave enough to try it. Voda Weaver leaves her man-catching ability to Ianice Sincox-but not her men! Betty White wills her dancing ability to the boys of THS, so the girls won't have to dance with each other all the time. Elaine Willer leaves to Alan Iones the position of News Staff editor, and with it the privilege of chasing the 1ast-minute reporters as each deadline approaches. Finally, we appoint our loyal pedagogue and friend, Miss Lucie Stevens, as executrix of this will. In witness whereof, we hereby subscribe our names this sixteenth day of May, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and forty-four.
