CLASS WILL The Senior Class of 1953, realizing they are not long for this world, as a group, deem it necessary to record their last will and testament. First of all, the class wishes tg bestow upon the entire faculty an- other Senior Class as studious, industrious, obedient and well-behaved as we have been. To Hr. Milcox, the class wills an oil well to supply gasoline and oil for his Packard. Me wish Mr. Bartoo to have a new fully equipped laboratory, with indi- vidual lab tables for each student. Me all know Mrs. Trezlse would love a class of ten Mechanical Drawing students, all left-handed. To Mrs. Richmond, we bequeath a study hall with a perfect attendance record. To Mr. Mason, we wish another Eighth grade music class as well-behaved as this year's. Me hope Mrs. Pfeiffer teaches a class next year that will know History from beginning to end. The whole class wills Mr. Brewster an English class where ain't isn't heard all year. And we ain't kidding about this. Me hope Hr. Brown's teams next year will break all former records. Me leave to Mr. Ruhl a trig class half as large as this year's. Me think Mrs. Rigby should have special typewriters that eliminate all mistakes on the part of the students. To Mr. Davis we leave a model farm, where he can show the boys just how farming is done. To our Guidance teacher, Mr. Gibbs, we give a year's supply of aspi- rins to relieve the headache caused by guiding our footsteps through schoo 1. To the bus drivers, the class wills automatic shifts in the buses, to eliminate clutch work and gear grating. The class has arranged to buy Mr. Dodson a life insurance policy. He might need it sometime if he continues teaching us to drive. Me have been considering the purchase of an automatic lawn mower for Henry Richmond, so he could sit in the school and push a button and rest assured that the lawn would be mowed. Me would tike to Install an electric eye on the front doors of the school so Ray Smith won't have to stand In the wind, winter mornings, hold- ing it open for students. It was decided that the class would hire a secretary to assist Mrs. Baham in her work. ForHhe cafeteria help, we are going to install an automatic dishwash- er and a new gas range. Mrs. Livermore is bequeathed a new station wagon to take the students to the dentist. The class bestows upon the grade school faculty, a television set in each room; for the educational programs only, of course. The entire class would like to give to the Juniors their particular talents and possessions that they will no longer need. Jerry Graves gives Charles Newton his spare time and we all know Chuck will make good use of it. Bill Golish wishes Bruce Payne to have his ability to get along with the teachers. Mary Jane Van Dyke is bequeath Mary Ann Ellison's promptness in get- ting to school in the morning. Roger Horton gladly gives his basketball ability to Lyle Slack. Da e Kellogg gives his curly hair to Melvin Maite. Geraldine Ray generously gives Duanne Tarr her nearly perfect atien- dence record for the past four years. Phyllis Lewis modestly gives her shyness to Isabelle Coleman. To Emma Gene McAllister, Catherine Stives gives a fondness of Nest Union tads. Ruth Slack leaves to Pat Thompson, her voice and ability as a cheer- Ieade r. Last and lemst, I must state that, being rather extravagant, Mayne Slack has nothing left to leave anyone. MAS
