CLASS WILL Having been warned by our physician that the disease with which our class is afflicted as a result of this sud- den rush of knowledge to the head, is always fatal, and that no class in the past has been known to survive its cancerous effects, the class of 1959 is disposed to declare and publish this last will and testament before we, too, pass into history.

-- SENIOR The Senior Class of 1959 has finally finished forging through four wonderful happy years here at Wilmot. When we entered as Freshmen, we were considered greenhorns but now we're no longer in that cate- gory. This year has been filled to the brim for us. At our first class meeting we elected Bob Horton as president, Sharon Karow as vice- president, Karen Richards as secretary-treasurer, and Bob Lois to the student council. When homecoming rolled around, Jim Elwood became king. He selected Sue Bartels, a junior, as his queen. On January 17, we held our mid-term dance, Winter Nocturne. Everyone enjoyed dancing to the music of the Collegiates from Whitewater. On April 10, we put on our class play, Minick, under the direction of Mr. Dongarra. It was a huge success and all who viewed it enjoyed the antics of our Senior cast. We will soon be leaving Wilmot to go out into the world and con- tinue Hgrowing up but before doing so we hope to have a wonderful time at our banquet in May and at our graduation exercises. We would like to thank all who have aided us during our years here, especially Mrs. Firchow, who became our class advisor when Mr. Mammenga left us in our Sophomore year. Also, the very best of luck to all the future Seniors and may they have as much fun as we have had at Wilmot High. I. F. Page Forty-Four
