Louie Hollis wishes to leave Tom Whigham some of his excess weight and hopes he appreciates the favor. The Senior Class girls bequeath the gum to be found under the desk in our class room to any under-graduate who can’t afford to buy fresh sticks. James Little leaves his extensive and terribe vocabulary to Lorenzo Gunter. Lynn Conner leaves his right to go to Chancellor every week-end to H. V. Jones. The Senior Class, as a whole, wishes to bequeath upon the “little green freshies” a small portion of our brains, hoping that they will make as good use of it as we have done in the past four years. Fannie Belle Watkins leaves her talkative ways, good looks and abil- ity to play a piano to Lavinia Hilliard. Grady Benton wills his beautiful hair and barrels of stacomb to Wil- son Roberson. Grady also leaves his art of combing his hair. Gussie Boyette leaves her “stuck-up” ways and studious ability to Jo- nna Rawls. Billie Boyd leaves the privilege to say anything she sees fit to Ethely- ing Fleming. To Cannie Maddox, Margaret Colley leaves her secret of vamping any new fellow that comes in town, she also leaves her secret of losing them to Bessie Sue Price. We leave Malcolm Mclnnis and Abraham Perlman, Lynn and Sterlyn’s unbreakable test tubes. Lynn Conner asks that his green specks be willed to Sidney Mclnnis in order that he may protect his eyes while observing certain sights on the campus. Lorine Ellis gives her love for all the boys to Frances Stephenson. Nealson Rainey leaves a lip stick a day to Bessie Sue Price. Louise Bass leaves Lois Ogletree her paint and powder because she thinks she needs a little more. We, the Senior Class of ’24, having now completed our high school career, wish to leave behind us some small souvenir, just to show the classes that perhaps; if they work very diligently, they too may graduate some day. So we present and leave this Encoala to them, since as they have seen, we have gotten through, almost anything is possible. They too, will meet stones in their pathways in the form of chemistry notebooks and daily test by Miss Graham, ten minute speeches to be given over every week by Miss Smith and American History by Miss Jacobs. But we beg them to be glad and look to see how many of us escaped alive. In order that they will be of good heart we leave behind us this book to encourage them. In witness whereof, we the Class of ’24, to this last Will and Testa- ment hereunto set our hands and seals this 23rd day of May in the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and twenty-four. (Signed) FRANCES GOFF. Witnesses: T. J., Knox, Rastus.

Last UM and Testament STATE OF ALABAMA, COUNTY OF COFFEE, CITY OF ENTERPRISE. According to the customs of the Coffee County High School, it is both fitting and proper at this time, for the Senior Class of ’24 to dedi- cate such belongings as have been our stumbling stones to those who have faithfully followed our foot steps. Then on the other hand it would be a most gracious act for this stately crew of Seniors not to slight even the dimmest of our antagonizers, the faculty, so, we who have sought for free- dom for years and have thus far succeeded do hereby waive all previous wills, notes or promise and do authorize and declare this to be our last will and testament in the following manner: To our patient and kind-hearted faculty we leave a perfect school with model pupils, who never make any noise going up and down the creaking stairs, keep perfect order in study hall and never scatter paper on the floor. To Miss Graham we leave a chemistry class so well trained they will never make any mistakes, thereby enabling her to control her eyes. To our noted rivals, the Junior Class we leave our room with fixtures therein, along with the many privileges which we have never possessed. To our successors of next year, we will the right to receive and take to heart the many lectures delivered to us daily my Coach Warren and Miss Jacobs on the subject of dignity. To our dear sister class the Sophs, we leave the right to occupy the im- portant place of the proud, conceited Junior Class. To our baby class we will the right to shed their attire of green and take up the duties of silly Sophs. . That is if they don’t imitate Peck Ogletree. To the following students of the school we leave: Boyd Beall’s grin to any one that will have it providing they grin just exactly like him. Madie Rea Seay’s popularity and privilege to fill dates any night dur- ing the week to Annie Mae Williams. C. B. Murdock leaves his ability to play football and make all star tackle to Sam Paschel. To Rebecca Ramsey, Altus Beckham leaves his heart and permision for her to go with any boy she can vamp (that is after he leaves.) Alma Baldwin leaves her erect and natural walk to Ruby Singleton, providing she will change the present one. Louise Colson leaves her style and good looking clothes to Carrie Pierce. Frances Goff and Dewey Ellis leave their ability to sepnd the class money without letting them know a thing about it to Revel Searcy and William Sessions. Paul Hutchison leaves his admirable laugh to Linder Hendrix and hopes he will make ample use of it.
