To the Sophomore Class, we leave our quick wits, rapid elucidations, and best of all, our wads of chewing gum that once did animate our own enjoying jaws. But to the poor little Freshmen, with three years more to go in this institution, we can leave only our pity. I, Mary Stielow, bequeath my ability to play basketball to Johnny Trapp and my height to Jimmy Cochran. And my ability to talk all the time to Dina Murphy. I, Beverly Ward, bequeath my old Biology papers to Danny Williams in case he needs them next year and my pony tail to Sandy Caruthers. I, Ramona Lopez, bequeath my ability to play the piano to Kenton Ward and my fast typing speed to Jimmie Wilson hoping he will do the same., I, Joan Mead, bequeath my short hair to Betty Murphy and to make most of the baskets when shooting in basketball to Sherry Ramsey. I, Billy Murphy, will my ability to get in before my father gets up to Bonnie Ramsey and my old parking places to Ethel Clow to use the same way I did. I, Marlene Day, bequeath my ability to get along with Mickey Palmer to Kathie Luder and my old tricks I use to catch the boys with to Verna Hazen. I, Simone Urban, bequeath my ability to be going steady in my Senior year to Carolyn Finkenbinder and my ability to get along with Miss Cap to Larry Woodworth.

to go to school at Luray and Larry Sage came from Wichita still making us have a class of ten. Ordering our class rings was a big event, but a bigger event was when we received them in November. We thought we were really big now! Mrs. Conant, our sponsor, helped us put our play The Daffy Dills over very successfully. The play is always important, not only for the money you make towards the banquet, but just think, we got out of more classes during that time. 1 As the close of the year came around, it was our turn to give the big social party of the year The Junior-Senior Prom. The theme was Outer Space, complete with robots and everything. At the close of the year we realize that next year will be our last year in good old W, H, S. Our Senior Class consisted of nine members: Mary Stielow, President: Beverly' Ward, Vice-President, Ramona Lopez, Secretary, and Marian Clow, Treasurer, Ioan Mead, Simone Urban, Marlene Day, Bill Murphy, and Lionel Caprez. Miss Cap was our sponsor. We started off with the bang of initiation. It sure was fun watching the green Freshmen struggle through the day. I suppose we were thinking back when we were freshmen and maybe some of us were wishing we were starting over again instead of finishing. Oh, well, we always have the future to look forward to. The high lights of the year were the Carnival, having our pictures taken, the Senior Play, yearbooks, and also all of the various sports we were in, Qincidentally we did attend classes.J The senior trip which every student works and plans for, and finally graduation, when we experienced the thrill of wearing the scholarly caps and gowns. As is natural there may be a slight feeling that each of us might have worked a little harder to deserve the privilege of wearing the mortar board. Thus ends the history of the famed class of 1959. Hun Class Will Read by Lawyers Zong and Bong We, the Senior Class of Waldo High School, County of Russell, and State of Kansas, being in as sound state of mind as we could attain these four years of hard study, do hereby make this, our last and best will and testament, hereby revoking all former wills, bequests, and devise of whatever nature by us already made. To our much-loved teachers, each and everyone, we leave their gray hairs of which we've been the cause of for the past four years. To the Iunior Class, we bequeath the proud privilege of being Seniors and our old books, with most of the leaves loose or gone: all the mistakes we made, and all the knowledge we failed to learn.

Class Prophecy We find ourselves in a world that has advanced ten years since our graduation in l959. Everyone has an atomic powered helicopter. We will be traveling in these 'X 'copters to see the members of our class. Our first visit is to see the old maid of our class, Ioan Mead, who is living in the state of Washington, where she is scaling salmon before she cans them. Ioan hated salmon when she was in Waldo, but she was. determined to use will power. and now she dearly loves the smelly things. Ioan tells us that she has lost touch with some of the class members, but she has heard from Mr. 6: Mrs. Bill Murphy, who are living in Covert. They have a set of twins whose names are Billy and Willy. They also have a little girl named Carol. Since the soil is not too productive on their farm, Marlene suppliments their finances by french frying grasshoppers that are so plentiful in Kansas. She has markets all over the universe. We then travel to New York where Beverly Ward and Mary Stielow are nurses at the Bellevue hospital there. We find them having the time of their lives dating young handsome doctors. They tell us they helicoptered to a party the other night, to the Bahamas and guess who was there--Ramona Lopez and Lionel Caprez. Ramona is teaching the Islanders and Lionel is working on an atomic powered space ship. Lionel hopes to be the first one to go to the moon and return. Many attempts have been made since 1959--the year they graduated--but so far Lionel has come the nearest--about 20 miles--and this is the important--he has returned safely! Then we travel back to the good old state of Kansas where we find Simone, now Mrs. Don Ginther at home on a pickle farm near Hays, Kansas. Simone and Don have two little pickle pluckers, Terri and Larry, Simone tells us that Marian is in Detroit. She is the head of the foods research there, in the Pickle Packers Picnic Package Products. Simone knows this because the Pickle Packers Picnic Package Products buy all their pickles from the Ginthers. Our next stop is to see our faithful sponsor, Miss Cap, who now lives in Wichita, Kansas where she and her husband are retired, doing nothing. Miss Cap said she always wanted to try doing nothing, so she is fast becoming an expert at it. 'k'k'k'k'k1l'
