CLASS WILL CONRAD VOSHEN The past few weeks I have been quite busy drawing up the will of this rich class of 1966. Our wealth is measured in things much more valuable than money itself. Our minds are like giant warehouses, stored with vast amounts of knowledge; perhaps even more than we might find necessary. Therefore, we have decided to will it to needy people. We, the class of 1966 being of sound mind and body, do hereby will all the many good times we have had in our few short years together, to the other high school classes, that they too may enjoy their year's career. Each of us has an excess of some outstanding quality and are now going to will this excess as follows: I, Ronald Amsler, will my ability to not pay attention in class and know what's going on to Randy Waltz. I, Elly Becker, will my ability to speak Dutch to Curtis Kelly. I, Gwynne Dexter will my musical ability to John Abel's band. I, Penny Drudge, will my dislike for most boys to Carol Casebeer, who has tried them all this year. I, Bill Ewers, will my iron stomach to the students who will have to cope with hot lunch next year. I, Leo Herman, will my wavy hair to Jim Duty. I, Nancy Hill will my soft voice to loud Kay Copeland. I, Faye Griffith, will my ability to be quiet in class to the Juniors who talk the whole period. I, Brenda Katz, will my artistic ability to Jerry Shedd. I, Dick Leatherbury, will my trickin' ways and victory cackle to Andy Stemaly, who has a good start. I, Marilyn Macky, will my ability to get stuck in an inch of snow to Fred Katz who could go in a foot. I, Pat Millard, will my cheerleading ability to Chuck Stamaly. I, Paulette Olds, will my stubborn attitude to agreeable Dennis Jackson. I, Cindy Paradine, will my cooking ability to the Home Ec. class. I, Sharron Patten, will my driving ability to Bob Harrier, who seems to have something in common. I, Pete Ragusa, will my acting ability to next year's Junior and Senior play casts. I, Gwyn Randall, will my ability to stay at home and study to Ken Reinke. I, Charlene Rarick, will my study habits to Gary Crabbe. I, Don Selby, will my ability to get caught at everything I do, to all the apple polishers at T.H.S. I, Ed Shumway, will my growing pills to Gary Newland. I, Theo Smoke, will my noisy ways to quiet John Davis. I, Conrad Voshen, will my position on the golf team to Chuck Bush, who has a hard time breaking 60. I, Ron Whitcomb, will my knowledge of cars to Nancy Martinson, who has a strange habit of requesting that the Summer air in the tires be changed to Winter air. This is the last will and testament of the class of 1966. 18

CLASS MOTTO MARILYN MACKY Parents and Friends: Our class has chosen for its motto Out of School Life, Into Life's School. This is more than just a motto--it is, in a sense, a statement of truth. At no other time in our lives will we he taking a step as important as the one we take tonight. We now have a basic knowledge that should enable us to make wise decisions as to what we do in the future, whether it be furthering our education by going on to college, acquiring a job, or marriage. We have heard it said, An idea in the head is worth two in the book. Everything begins with an idea. Books are excellent sources of information and guidance. But books are not every-thing--if a person does not have good common sense to go along with what he reads, he may not obtain the full benefit of the book. Experience cannot be gained through reading a book, but ideas of our own help us to gain it, and with experience comes greater wisdom. This brings me to an important point--in life's school we should build for character not fame. Webster tells us that character is possession of distinctive qualities while fame is glory. Many people become confused, they seem to think that if they have won fame for themselves they automatically have good character; this isn't necessarily so. Let us take a look at people who join every organization and club they can—this is not wrong, if they have joined because they honestly felt they could derive or contribute something worthwhile. The person who joins because he likes to see his name in print or because he feels he can derive some glory for himself is certainly not helping himself to grow into the kind of person he himself can admire. Success is a word often associated with graduation--and truly this is one of our main goals in life. But success does not come overnight nor does it come easily. One must have a goal in sight and the determination to attain it. I believe that most of us realize this and we are ready to use the difficulties we encounter as stepping stones to success. We all dream of great deeds and high positions, away from the pettiness and humdrum of ordinary life. Yet success is not occupying a lofty place or doing conspicuous work; it is being the best that is in you. Rattling around in too big a job is worse than filling a small one to overflowing. Dream, aspire by all means; but do not ruin the life you must lead by dreaming pipe dreams of the one you would like to lead. Make the most of what you have and are. Perhaps your trivial, immediate task is your one sure way of proving your mettle. Do the thing near at hand, and great things will come to your hand to be done. To emphasize what I have been saying and in closing, I would like to read a poem by Douglas Malloch, If you can't be a pine on the top of the hill, We can't all be captains, we've got to be a crew, Be a scrub in the valley--but be There's something for all of us here. The best little scrub by the side of the rill; There's big work to do, and there's lesser to do, Be a bush if you can't be a tree. And the task you must do is the near. If you can't be a bush be a bit of the grass. And some highway happier make; If you can't be a muskie then just be a bass-- But the liveliest bass in the lake! If you can't be a highway then just be a trail, If you can't be the sun be a star; It isn't by size that you win or you fail--Re the best of whatever you are! 17 Thank you.
