Last Will and Testament We, the 1951 graduating class of The Plains High School, in the town of The Plains, in the state of Ohio, and in the United States of America, do hereby an- nounce (on this great, serious, and solemn occasion) our last will and testament. To our tormented, yet ever-loving faculty, whose unbounded emotion at this time of parting will undoubtedly be dwarfed only by their hopes for the future, we gratefully bequeath a peace of mind of which they are deserving. May they again enjoy normalcy and tranqulity in student groups. To our beloved and never-to-be forgotten Junior comrades, we bequeath our most greatly prized individual possessions as hereby specified: I, Darrell Andrews, leave my job at the White Crest to Bob Michael. (Now, Bob, you won't have to wrestle to make your show money.) I, Charles Beard, bestow upon Lloyd Thompson one pair of long trousers. I, Arthur Brooks, will to Edna Goodman my vitamin pills. I, Harold Brooks, transmit my short walks home to Jon Tipton. I, Jack McDonald, give my ability to know all the answers in government to James Ewing. I, Harold Oliver, bequeath my bad knee to anyone who wants it. I, James Radcliff, cede my ability to read like a South-Bend train an hour late to Betty Brown. I, Richard Shrieves, hand down my dish cloths to Alice Yates. Maybe you can have better luck selling them. I, Tom Slater, will my government papers to any Junior wfho needs good grades. 1, Vern Stage, leave my blazing speed to Christine Phillips. 1, Roger Tinkham, bequeath my ability to cut a rug to Elizabeth Johnson. I, Bill Vessalo, bestow upon Anita Glass my quiet manner. 12

Senior Class Poem Charles Beard Our class began in '39, How well we remember that day When we entered school for the very first time In such a timid, shy, little way. But twelve long years have passed and gone, Years of problems, facts, and thought. We realize now that we are through With the battles we have fought. W e thank each and everyone Who have helped us on our way- Our parents, teachers, and classmates, too. We’re sorry we cannot stay. Our good and bad deeds are done; So the graduates of 51, Will say farewell to old Plains High, Goodbye to everyone. SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS President, Richard Shrieves Vice-President, Jack McDonald Secretary, Lula Guess Treasurer, Dolores Novotni News Reporter, Roger Tinkham SENIOR CLASS ADVISOR Miss Louise Diver 11
