LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We present with due respect and reverence on this floor The last will and testament of the Senior Class of '54. May our will be carried out to the last written word, lf you are ready, then it should be heard. First we do offer our sincere desire That, with all the splendor which the occasion doth require, Our most solemn funeral rite Be conducted in proper manner on this April night. James Holcomb and Charlie Bridges, the Romeos of this man's town Leave Summers Hassell the knack of getting around. Truett and David Allen give Joe Allen Brooks a whole lot of stuff. And especially the ability to look rough and tough. Jay Nita and Glenda Gayle who are really hot shots Leave 'Phoebe Quarles the worst thing they've got. Theirfllrty ways and so help me baby They're a pain in the neck and we don't mean maybe. Glenda Smith the moocher, leaves Betty Moses the angle The knack of getting boys all in a tangle. So maybe she can hook Larry Holcomb in the dim by and by-- Well, come on, Betty, at least you can try. Harlen and Larry Holcomb leave to Carrol McGaughey their friend Their ability to wiggle and twist and bend. To make funny faces and noises, too, lust think, Carrol, it's all for you. Bobbie Martin and Earl Dover, leave Earl Haney their delightful grin, And knowledge of the hearts they can win. Be careful Earl or before you know it You'll be in love and afraid to show it. Terry, Bruce, and Roy--the boys with shady'pasts Swell their chests and say, We're finished at last. To Billie Jean Selman they give their knack Of getting into trouble--fa virtue which she surely lackslj Patricia willingly leaves Ford to Miss Watters with the plea, 'Keep him away from those flirty trotters. Maggie and Zelma leave their old maidish traits To Alvaleane White! Lord what a fate. Sunny Terrell gives to Bobbie Jean by some weird chance Her ability to cook up some sort of romance. To smile at the boys and be so nice To say what she thinks and never thinks twice. To Kent McCullough is left by Donald Mart and the Senior boys All the by-gone days of laughs and joys, With this one word, Stick to one lady And stop gazing at every pretty baby, Ouida James wills many sobs and moans The story of her life to Mildred Jones. with this article goes our blesings so dear They'll be hearing it this time next year. La Vonne and Elmina leave to Verna Mae their gift of gab To be able to blab and blab and blab. Buster Allen leaves to next year's football team His strong passing arm and running steam In hopes they can be used in some way or means. Shirley leaves to that Burrows boy, Bobby That Senior play giggle, now known as her hobby. lt may be used, Bobby in any old way Except in a future Senior play. Floyce and Syble leave to George, James Amos, and Larry Their ability to get a proposal to marry. To keep ,looking 'fresh as everyone should, And above everything else to be good. To R, L. Cherry and Olan Black Leroy Corbin leaves his famous knack Of always managing to get a wife, And hopes they flike hej will have a happy life. To James Boatman and Vaughn Arnold Kenneth Dover and Leo Hicks leave a few cuds of gum, With the hope that they will scrape them up some. Mary Evelyn and Mildred gladly give their beloved ways To Bobby Carl, Norma-Lou, and Joseph--heavenly days! Perhaps they can look back over the years And remember Mary Evelyn and Mildred with maybe some tears. Since Jimmy Morgan is a Senior this year We are honored by his presence here, To Edna Myrl and Jerry Bell He leaves his ability to cheer and yell. Bobby Chapman speaks for the whole Senior class in saying, 'We leave our brains And hope to goodness it leaves no pains, But we wish you well, we really do And honest to goodness, Juniors, WE DO MEAN YOU! With sorrows, lonliness, aches, and pains We leave our two dearest claims-- Mr. Cummings and Miss Watters--With us they really rate, And we hope that Mr. Moore and Miss Roberson inherit their traits We, The Senior Class of 1954, do hereby swear That this is the last will and testament we leave anywhere. These statements herein stated are true And we, and quite gladly so, leave them to you. Signed: SENIORS OF 1954
