WILDCAT CLASS WILL We, the Senior Class of 1940, of the Township of Union, County of Van Wert, and State of Ohio, being of sound and disposing mind and memory, do make, publish and declare this our Last Will and Testament., hereby revoking and making null and void all other Wills and Testaments made by us here- tofore. Section I Article 1. We give and bequeath to the faculty of Union School, the feeling of relief they will sense when we as Seniors of '40 receive our gradu- ation diplomas. Article II. We bequeath to the Junior Class our ability to make money Cof which they are badly in needj and our ability to place Union on the map. Article III. We bequeath to the Sophomore Class a better chance than we had. Article IV. We give to the Freshmen our ability to get along with the teachers. Section II Lindsay McCandlish, the only quiet boy of the class of '40 bequeaths his dislike of the girls to Lester Goings, who can easily use it. Virginia Stripe wills her ever dependable parking lot for chewing gum to any Junior who is lucky enough to get her seat next year, Gene Hoaglin wills all blondes and brunettes to anybody who can at- tract them, but refuses to relinquish his claim on redheads.

WILIDCAT SENIORS Seniors! Yes, we are all Seniors about to enter into a vast World of ups and downs. When as Freshmen, we began our life as high school students., we were eager and desirous of success. Our class was a very unusual Freshmen class as we were all, more or less, interested in athletics. However, we broadened out into fields of music, and scholastic honors. And then, we found ourselves a .step nearer our goal. Sophomores! The Freshmen experienced their first taste of high school life when we honored them at a Freshman-Sophomore Initiation Party on Hallowe'en night. Several of us still treasure memories of that party! When we again found ourselves at school, we had begun to feel slightly superior. Why shouldnt we? .We were Juniors! Several members of the class displayed their dramatical talent when they presented The Crazy Mix-Up. This was followed by one of the major events of our school life, the Junior- Senior Reception, when we all pretended we were farmers. Now, we are Seniors: some of us about to leave school, others striving' toward a higher goal through higher ed'ucatioin. The leadership of Don Knerr and the attitude of the Senior class in gen- eral has made this a, year filled with parties, festivals, plays, work, play and advancement. We know that all this work has not been done in vain, but believe as we bid you goodbye that it has been well worth our time and struggles. Juanita E. Baer
