With these weapons: fortitude, patience, interest in what we arc doing, cooperation, dependability, courtesy, and gratitude, these •even, we go forth to meet life’s battles. Class Will By Donna Mae Milton We, the class of 1952. of the Wisconsin School for the Deaf, located in the beautiful city of Dclavan. in the county of Walworth, in the state of Wisconsin, after many hours, and days, tuid weeks, and months of consideration, do hereby declare this to bo our lost will and testament. It is our sincere hope that the fond ones who have been hcrln remembered will appreciate and make good use of these valuable and cherished gifts we are bestowing upon them. To Superintendent Milligan, our principal Mrs. Lowe, our teachers, and our supervisors we give our since rr thanks for the kindness they have shown when the way seemed hard and for their patience with our short comings and for their over-ready interest always. The class hos unanimously agreed to leave to the class of 1053 al the headaches that accompany the work on the Tattler, our fun and numerous laughs, and the gray hairs, which the responsibility of bring Seniors, brings. Now for our individual bequests: Clara Bongcy, Alice Riegert, Gloria Perhai, and Joan Szcjnn leave their roquish brothers to the teachers, hoping they will be able to make them toe the murk. Clara also leave her beautiful legible hand-writing to Violet Erickson, her heavy curly hair to Lucille Rlasei. her skill in beauty culture to Saimi Hakkuli, her extreme orderliness to Marvu I rb . Gloria Perhai has finally consented to let part of her ability to look on the bright side of life go to I eannu Rabiola, her trim figure to Pat Koehler, her grace on the dance floor to Betty Gorkowski, her magic understanding of algebra to all failures in it, and she leaves him. oh! no. she doesn't, she keeps him all to herself. Joan Szojnn wills her ambition, that has enabled her to keep a steady job for the past six years, to Francis Thompson, her closet full of lovely clothes to the coming classes in sewing for their style shows, her success us ticket seller at game to Marlene Schroeder, her high heeled shoes to Betty Sanderson- and her know how in swimming to Eddie Stahl. Alice Riegert wills her enquetish was to Betty Weeks, her style to Linda Gibson, her dally pur-chuse of candy bars to Walter Fidlor, her knowledge of farming to Ann Harris, and her numerous earring to Violet Erickson. Jack Hnthwuy leaves his skill in handicraft to Jim Perhai, his unusual success in art to liavid Christianson, way with the girls to Milton law, his clownish hats to David Ijconunl. and hi affection to Ann. Paul Rohloff wills his flirtations eyes to Eddie .Stahl, his nickname. “Pis Wee , to Bob Sandcriton, his black shiny hair and long eye lashes to John Goetz, and Ills public Bchonl ideas to Francis Thompson and Bv ird Hunter. Now, whnt have we to leave those that must continue to trudge along the weary way? Janet Kluck should like to read more books, so I will leave my fondness of reading to her. My report cards have several A's in English- so I’ll leave my language ability to Jean Jenkins, my weekend trips to Howard Thorpe. The thick wall between me and mathematics had better lie destroyed. Mr, Neessm I'm sure will agree with me to this point. Given in sound mind this eighteenth day of May 1952. Witnesses: Walls, Clock Address of Welcome By Jack Hath wav Mr. Powell, Supt, Milligan. Mr .
