CLASS WILL We. the Class of 1941, knowing that the halls of U. C. H. S. will not echo our gay laughter much longer and realizing the great loss the underclassmen and faculty will suffer by our departure, do hereby give and bestow upon them certain articles of untold value to comfort them in our absence: Carmon wills his deep, bass voice and acting ability to John Caron. To Nadine Loy. Hazel bequeaths her giggles and baby talk. Although he hated to part with it. Robert Davis leaves his camera to Donald Batholomew. To Robert Maloon, John Malone bequeaths his blushing and shyness, as Robert seems to never have heard of such things. Joyce Fraze wills to Rachel Veit the wear and tear of getting the Westerner out on time. Vergene Evans wills her grass skirt to Arlene Straley.

We leave all the money in our treasury to Miss Ward to buy furniture polish to repair our desks. James Tibbetts wills all his jokes to two people, Paul Whitesel and Roger Davis, because he has too many for just one person. Eugene Caupp bestows all his basketball playing ability upon the boys on next year’s team. Vera Davis bequeaths her secretarial ability to Nadine Wigger, and may she benefit by it. To the incoming Freshmen we leave all the overlooked cuds of gum adhering to the underside of the desks, chairs, banisters, assembly seats, or any likely or unlikely places. Walter Hill and Richard Lollar bequeath their “winning personalities” to Robert Lahey and Charles Gullett, although Robert and Charles are not doing bad now. Robert Bruss bequeaths his tall, slender figger” to Richard Weimer. “Cobina” Kennon is leaving her best wig to “Brenda” Huffer. Ann Parent bequeaths all her corsages to Marilyn Mangas.

Delia Vernon wills to Betty Livingston her ability for always having an appropriate newspaper clipping on hand in Miss Ward’s class. Chloe Garringer bequeaths her good nature to any Senior grouch of next year. Pauline Geyer wills her love of typing to any poor sufferer. It couldn’t be Helen Skiver. Lavon Chilson graciously wills to Nellie Prosser her mysterious way of giving the “come hither” look to every specimen of the opposite sex. Finally, to the school, we leave our joys, heartaches, pep, enthusiasm, sportsmanship, all of our flunking grades, but not our bluffing habits, and all of our abilities and talents, but we take our love for the Alma Mater with us. We do hereby constitute and appoint E. Phillips Blackburn the executor of our last will and testament and affix our seal for this memorable class.

Stage Manager..................... Jack Caron Vergene Evans Vera Davis Richard Frazier Richard Lollar Pauline Geyer, Hazel Brooks Donald Stebleton The Seniors frolicked through a day at college in their class play—“Spring Fever” by Glen Hughes. All the action took place in a rooming-house at Brookfield College. And I do mean action! They came and went so fast that it was almost impossible to keep up with them. What with getting Howard Brant through college, acquiring a new science building, discovering explosives, painting pictures, and many other things, it kept everyone in an uproar. Every Senior had a part in helping to make this play a splendid success. The high school orchestra and musical specialties from the Senior Class added to the enjoyment of the entertainment. The public received this play with unusual enthusiasm. The play was directed by Mabel E. Ward, class sponsor. Walter L. Shaw supervised the music. Page Nineteen
