‘ast Will f E the Senior Class of 1941, being in sane mind and possessing unusually sweet dispositions and many highly admirable traits, surrounded by friends and loved ones, do hereby give and be- (= queath to those herein named, “Our Last Will and Testimony.” We leave to Mr. Meade a pair of field glasses so he can see all the way down to the bowling alley; and to Mr. Fray, our thanks for a nine months term. Mr. Mopsik, a well behaved civics class; for Miss Simmons, an English class that will study as they are told; to Mr. McIntosh, bigger and stronger boys for his athletic teams; and to Mrs. McIntosh, a booklet on how to pack people like sardines to the girls’ basketball games. Mr. Kranke, a pair of artificial wings and a parachute to bring him safely to the ground in case his airplane engine stalls. Mr. Tillotson, a box of axle grease to make his hair lie down. Miss Phillips, a senior class who wi!l put their lunch papers and bottles away, and to Miss Robertson we leave our appreciation for helping with the Senior activities. To Miss Annie Arthur we leave a group of students who will pay their book dues promptly. Miss Bailey, a group of girls who will report to practice on schedule dates for basketball. To Miss Davies, an electric mimeograph machine so she will not have to wear the students’ arms out in order to get her work finished. For John, we leave our hearty appreciation for picking up all the papers we have thrown down in all eleven years; while to Fred is left a portable piano so he can entertain the high school students during activity. And to the students we leave: Oliver Hutcherson’s likeness to Abe Lincoln to Billy Travis. Joe Creasy graciously bestows three inches of his height to Tommy Holt. Curtis Trent leaves his laziness to Lawson Harmon and offers to take the blame if it causes him to have to stay in high school an extra year. Vera Jackson kas dropped her shoes together with Hazel Crawford’s on the steps of Finch Finch Funeral Home to be used as baby coffins. Naomi Trent leaves her dignity to Kitty East. Hollie Bowers leaves his ability to avoid the girls to Samuel Smith so he can keep his mind on school next year. Billy Wilburn gives his giggles to Gertrude Haislip in hopes it will give the senior class of next year as much fun as it has given us. Ruth Johnson gladly leaves her handwriting to Margaret Payne, who will try to improve it. Ruth Gaddy leaves her lipstick to Leona Farmer and Doris Morris. Margaret Anthony leaves to Nancy Hall and Christine West her good Latin grades. Ruth Johnson, to Shirley Dowdy her pretty red hair. Elizabeth Lewis’s studiousness is left to Frances Cox and Virginia Shelton. Naomi Trent's sweet, quiet manner we leave to Connie Shelton and E. B. Cuarles. Katherine Lowman leaves her Spinach (for growth) to Dorothy Reynolds and Rachel Andrews so they'll be dignified seniors next year. The class leaves to Dick Smith and Marjorie Gregory success on the Duck Farm. Hollie Bowers leaves his dramatic ability to L. D. Laughon, on conditions that he might borrow it when he is ready to go to Hollywood. Wallace Barbee leaves his baseball glove to Louis Barnard, because he won't need it when he starts his business career. 16 ALTAVISTA HIGH SCHOOL
