3Tfje Cncoala “Last IDill and Testament City of Enterprise, County of Coffee, State of Alabama. We, the Senior Class of 1923, being of sound mind, stately form, but study-worn bodies, and realizing that after said year we must leave Coffee County High School, do hereby make and publish this, our last will and testament. All former wills or testaments are this day declared to be null and void, and this the original and true copy of the said document. We ap- point as executor of this will, those members of the class, who, on account of high ambition or for any other reason, shall choose to return to this in- stitution next year. I, (the Senior Class) do hereby declare it to be my wish and desire that my beloved wife (the Faculty) do receive full credit for all that I am, all that I have accomplished and that I ever expect to be or accomplish. We will to each member of the Faculty as follows: To our beloved Principal .Mr. Snuggs, a man of great character and much ability, we leave our love, respect, honor, and best wishes. To our dignified English teacher, Miss Hannon, a woman of high ideals, broad mind and one whom we all highly esteem and love, we leave our love for “Emerson’s Essays,” our “English Diary,” and a perfect right to use all humorous mistakes made by us as jokes to tell her friends. To our wonderful Chemistry teacher, Miss Graham, a little lady who has a profound knowledge of all science, we leave a neat note book all deco- rated with beautiful drawings and red lines. To our learned history teacher, Miss Bertram, a person with a great future, we leave our scrap book, history note book and a beautiful bright shining new copy of “Life of Robert E. Lee for Boys and Girls.” To our brilliant, beloved Latin teacher. Miss Somerville, one who has a wonderful record, and great ability as a basket ball coach, we leave the hard won honors of girls’ basket ball team. J o coaches Hudson and Carmichael, men of great ability in playing and coaching foot ball, we leave all hard won honors in foot ball. To our general assistant teacher, Mr. Davidoff, a young man just out of college, we leave a bunch of bobbed-haired girls of fair complexion and long lively tongues, with whom he may flirt, frolic and have great times. To our children, viz., the Juniors, Sophomores and Freshmen, we will as follows: To the Juniors we leave the right to occupy the Senior room and to fall heir to all the fixtures thereof: To them we bequeath the Senior privileges

GHje Cncoala Following this scene I saw two old maid school teachers, Floride Ar- wood and Carolyn Edwards. Floride was a teacher of Science and Carolyn of Latin. Next appeared a circus. One of the advertisements stated that the spe- cial attraction was the famous snake charmer, Rebecca Brunson, noted the world over for her ability to charm snakes. Can you imagine this of quiet and timid Rebecca! As the wind caused a wave over the pool I beheld the vision of Lewis Logan, our dignified Senior, director of “Zeigfield Follies” in New York. It is hard to believe that such a change could take place. On a street corner mounted on a goods box, I saw Olyn Warren sell- ing patent medicine in a small town in Georgia. Seeing is believing and Iwas forced to believe what I saw next. Grover Rowe, a preacher, swaying the world by his wonderful sermons. We did not expect to see Grover do this as he was such a bluffer in high school. I next beheld a vision of Martha Henderson, the owner of a beauty parlor. We judge from the way she used the power puff in high school days she is well up on the job by now. Next a car passed and circulars were thrown from the car. I glanced over one and to my astonishment I saw that Cecil Mount and Joe Moseley would give a free demonstration of their wonderful machine, which puts a perpetual kink in the hair, and at the same time removes freckles and warts, and polishes the finger nails. They had spent most of their time since leaving high school working on this wonderful invention. My attention is attracted by a man with a monkey and a grind organ going down the street. This I recognized to be Dawson Gunter. I beheld a vision of Norine Martin, star basketball player at Montevallo. We are glad Norine is keeping up the Martin name in the athletic world and also making a record for the C. C. H. S. As this scene faded I saw Leon Martin a judge in New York City. We knew Dixie would attain greatness and I was glad to see her a teacher of voice in Atlanta—two dollars per lesson. I hrough the clear waters I saw a great ship slowly leaving the harbor. I recognized Hughy Paschal as the Captain. There was a great multitude standing on the deck cheering, and from what they were saying I gathered that A. R. Moseley was the new Ambassador to France. As this scene faded I realized that I had seen the future of my class- mates of 23 and mine alone remained to be seen. Undecided as to whether I wanted to see my own future, I closed my eyes and on opening them I saw that mine had passed and in its place appeared “Finis.” ANNIE D, DAVIS

which we have never been able to find, and the right to receive five lectures daily on setting examples of good conduct, on golden opportunities and our duties as “Dignified Seniors.” To the Sophomores we leave the right to occupy the important places of our proud, conceited, but very admirable Junior Class. To the Freshmen we leave the right to come out of their timid, bashful, babyish ways and to take up their duties as high school students. It is on them that we have our eyes set, for we feel that surely, some day they will be an honor to her parents, the Coffee County High School. To Fannie Bell Watkins we leave Dixie Stewart’s popularity, black curly hair and winning ways. To Edna Boyd we leave Grace James’ ability as a flapper and heart- To Paul Hutchison we leave Frank Martin’s ability as humorist, lec- To Edna Alexander we leave Martha Henderson’s ability as basketball player, musician, debator and Latin student.

To Mildred Byrd we leave Hughy Paschal’s “American Literature” and other English books. To Harvey Jackson we leave John W. Benton’s abilitv as foot ball Can- tarn and his privilege of ringing the bell every forty minutes, provided he will get him a watch that will run exactly- like Mr. Snuggs’ and be very prompt. To Clyde Hundley we leave Doris Andrews’ comnact consisting of pow- der. powder puff, lip-stick, tweezers and a mirror. Io C. B. Murdock we leave Grover Rowe’s white sweater, popularity and honor of being the biggest bluffer in school.
