Class Will of 1956 In a sunny day in May, 1966, the Wilton 400 roared into the depot, deposited a few passengers and one article of baggage, a card-board box with the simple address--Wilton, Wisconsin. Evening came and the box remained alone on the depot platform, catching many curious eyes. Then a hobo came by and after long deliberation he opened the box. A carefully typed manuscript greeted his eye and this is what it said: We, the graduating class of Wilton High School, in the year of 1956, being of sound mind, hereby declare this our last will and testament. ITEM I: To Mr. Loff and the faculty, we leave our appreciation and thanks for the preparation given to us for our future. ITEM II: To the Juniors we leave our ambitions, our right as Seniors, unfinished business, un- paid debts, old boy friends, and vice versa and last but not least our ability to have lots of fun. ITEM III: To the Sophomores we leave our success of the class play and the memories of our Junior Prom. ITEM IV: Oh yes, to the Freshmen, we leave all of our A’s” so they won't have to study so hard the next three years. ITEM V: To the basketball team of '56 and '57 we should leave Mike and Bob, but as we want them with us, we leave our spirit of ''victory. And now for our personal belongings: I, Lois Arndt, will the memory of the night of the Senior Class Play to anyone who likes a good time.

I, Joanne Cox, will all of my old boy friends to anyone who is in need of them. “I don’t need them anymore.” I, George Dougherty, will my ability to argue in Social Problems to Allen Martin. I, Jack Doyle, will my wavy hair to Charles Goetz. Get Wildroot cream oil, Charlie. I, Richard Heinz, will my architectural ability to anyone who doesn't like the margins of their books blank.
