INDIVIDUAL BEQUEATHS CURLY STEDGE wills his mustache to BURDETTE MYERS. As it wouldn’t look good on anyone else we hope Burdette will shave it off. SHIRLEY BORDER gives her entire stock of textbooks to AL MIX as Al's name is already written all over them. BETTYANN COLE leaves her good behavior to RACHEL COLE. We hope Rachel graduates with the honors that Bettyann has. DALE BRIGGS bequeaths his art of making love during school hours to WAYNE WALTER who seems to do all right in his Junior year. CHUCK HAMMOND leaves his pants to VENCIL TOMPKINS. The time will come when Vencil just can't get into those Levis. BOB ILER bequeaths his wide open eyes to DON BAKER. Along with carrot juice maybe he can hold the title of Bright Eyes. JOANNE WHOLSCHEID wills her popularity with Coach Gelina to HELEN SHIPMAN and we hope Helen gets farther than Joanne did. PHIL LAFLEUR gives his bubble blowing talent to HAROLD LEE who is just learning. DON HOSEY AND ROGER FRANK will their quietness to DICK SOUTHERN who always has too much to say. LEO GAEDERT leaves his dancing ability to KEN BEARDSLEE hoping Kenny will make use of it. PETE TOWNSEND wills his way with the women to DICK DE BIE who seems to be having a great deal of difficulty. NONY CLAPPER wills her ability in cheerleading to GRETCHEN COLLIER hop- ing she will make a success of it as Nony did. BARBARA JOPPIE leaves her long list of activities to BARBARA COTTON whose personality will win her one too. WALTER VERNON wills his F. F. A. presidency to NEIL PARKER who is also a Future Farmer. NATALIE CLAPPER wills her height and ability in basketball to GRETCHEN COLLIER who we hope will be the star player next year. LARRY MUSSER wills his good looks to NEIL PARKER. Combining the two, you can all expect Cornel Wilde in school next year. TOM MAHAR wills his quiet manner to DEVERE COOK. DeVere has the habit of raising cain in school, but we all know Tom hasn't! NONA MAKLEY wills her temper to BARBARA NORTHRUP as she is too cool and calm. HELEN MIX wills her seat at the Library table to AL MIX wishing he would settle down and read a little bit. NORMAN WIELER wills his car to DICK DEBIE. Maybe now he can get home before it's time to get up. EILEEN WALCH wills her gossiping talents to DON BAKER. Next year con- sult Don for the latest! JUNE TOWNSEND leaves her collection of diamond rings to BARBARA BEY- STRUM who plans on marrying a rich man. KARL BENSON bequeaths his dull jokes to KEN BEARDSLEE, who already is filling Karl's (cowboy) boots. RUDIE BEYSTRUM wills his lucky number 27 to VENCIL THOMPKINS. We hope Vencil makes as many points as Rudie has. DELORES ZEMKE wills her giggle, and ability of echoing that giggle to every nook, and cranny to BARBARA BEYSTRUM who is rising competition to Delores. BOB BEYSTRUM wills his wonderful art of elocution to BURDETTE MYERS and hopes he will use it to make him one of the frindliest persons in school like his predecessor. To our Advisor, MRS. EWING, we leave the memories of all the foolish things we've done. It will make her humorous reading. In WITNESS whereof, we therefore affix our official seal of the class of 48’ to this legal and noble document, and do, hereby, trust the integrity of thofce named to uphold the distinguished traits that have so unselfishly been bestowed upon them bv the ALMIGHTY SENIORS.

CLASS PROPHECY --Joanne Wholscheid --Walter Vernon NAOMI CLAPPER is now keeping house in her own little bungalow, under the title of Mrs. Bruce Stedge. NATALIE CLAPPER is now a private secretary to the head man of the Weight Lifters Club in Detroit. BETTYANN COLE, our mineral expert, is president of the Pennsylvania Mining Company. At the present time she is in the new state of Alaska. RUDIE BEYSTRUM is now foreman of the section gang on the New York Central. It looks a little like he's trying to follow in his father's footsteps. (Insult to Mr. Beystrum. He’s a conductor.) BOB BEYSTRUM is president of the Pet Peeve Club in Vermontville. He certainly takes advantage of it. DALE BRIGGS, has set up his own little freezer plant, so he'll be col’ all the time now. SHIRLEY BORDER has profited greatly by her experience in high school. She is president of her own Blowing Union. BOB ILER now owns his own Standard Service Station in the State of California. LEO GAEBERT has gone to Hollywood to take up where Fred Astaire left off. He soon will be known the world over. ROGER FRANK is campaigning to be governor of Hawaii now that it is a state. He is making quite a name for himself as a soap-box politician. CHUCK HAMMOND, owner of the largest funeral home in the state, has made his first million carrying corpse. PHIL LAFLEUR has reconciled and married the little blond from Hastings that we used to see him with. They are living very happily on a little farm outside the city limits. TOM MAHAR who has always been so quiet and refined in school is now busy licking stamps in his own post office. HELEN MIX doesn’t find much time to read anymore with a few little Tilmann's running around. She read enough in study hall to make for these years, when she just can't find time.
