Jlaii Will and eAtamesit • • • We, the Class of 1945, with full realization of the great loss our graduation will be to U.C.H.S., and feeling it our duty to relieve, in some way, the loneliness that will pervade the high school after our departure do, hereby, bestow upon our fellow schoolmates these priceless possessions: To Miss Sears, Betty Bushaw leaves the care of the library. James Ellison leaves his boisterous, aggressive manner to Jerry Kantner. Joan and Annabelle Welch leave their brothers, Bob and Joe, to any unsuspecting girls who want them. Casanova Whitesel leaves to Bob Weimer his love life. To Dick O'Dell, Gene Bennett bequeaths those morning sessions in the principal's office that you have, when you arrive just a little late. Perky, Lucille, and Shirley are living examples that “good things come in small packages,” so they leave their small images to Beverly Hiatt. Lois Lantz leaves behind a piano. If anyone feels equal to Lois' talent, let him come forth and claim his inheritance. Marcella Whistler leaves to the next person her job of office girl for the principal’s office. Joan Mangas leaves her secretarial work of the bowling league to the next person who is sucker enough to take it. Earlene Merritt leaves a good government record to Windy Resor. Good luck. Windy! Roger Dye leaves to the school a little Dye (his brother) and a fond remembrance that the school is not dead 'til it’s all “Dyed” out. Jim Geyer says he wants to give his typing class back to the Indians, so he hasn't anything to leave. A quiet air of refinement is left by “Red Dog” to any freshman boy in hopes that he won’t mess up sophistication anymore than John did. We don't know anyone who can do justice to Pat Lahey’s quiet disposition unless it is Marilyn Bupt. Ann Chattin leaves to Iris Fulk, her shy, retiring personality that is the symbol of the American girl of today. Betty Baker wills her job in the store to Phyllis Bratton. Be careful of those “fresh eggs”, Phyllis. Jack O'Connor and Bob Turner bequeath to the fairer sex a remembrance of their lovely curls. [ 20 ]

To Peg Huffer, Jean Frazier leaves her many loves, and remember Peg, as Jean wisely puts it, There’s more than one fish in the sea, or “Who’s next?” Instead of leaving anything, Eunice takes Rosey and Rosey takes Eunice. To the school Eunice says, “Good luck, and Rosey says “Huh? Bob Huffer leaves the school. Carlene leaves to the student body an undying devotion to I. U.—or do you spell that C O R K Y.

Pat Clapper wills to Mary Wilson all of her phone numbers. It’s a big order, Mary. It is with a heavy heart that we watch Ceresa Moore go, for that means that there is just a little “Moore” left in school—that's Franz. Mary Jean Ellison and Phyllis Best will their hair to anyone wanting such a combination. We don't know whether they’re throwing out the “Key of the school or whether she is just graduating, but, anyway, Carol leaves her power of offensive wit to Jean Kirwin who may use it to eject any unsuspecting male intruder in the library. Last but not least Tom (Blackie) Jefferis leaves his, sometimes, catty and sarcastic— but—witty remarks to Mr. St. Myers to be used in his study hall announcements in the years to follow. We do hereby constitute and appoint Glen Brandon and Fred Stebleton as co-executioners of our last will and testament, and affix our seal for this unforgettable class of ’45.
