Last Will and Testament of the Class of 1925 THE STATE OF ALABAMA, COFFEE COUNTY. j We, the Graduating Class, of the Coffee County High School, of 1925, being of sound mind and generous nature, realizing the uncertainty of life, and the certainty of death, and that we are subject at any moment to be called from our earthly habitation to that Celestial Home above, do hereby make and publish this, our last Will and Testament, revoking all former wills heretofore made by us. Item I We do will and bequeath to our most beloved Faculty: The right to give to future classes the zeros which they have lavished on us, and the right of supreme rule over the Study Hall, thereby extract- ing all chewing gum and other causes of disturbance, from wayward pu- pils. To our beloved Principal, Mr. Snuggs, a man of great character and much ability, we leave our love, honor, respect, and best wishes. To Coach Johnson, a man of great ability in playing and coaching football, we'leave all hard-won honors in football. To our consecrated English teacher, Miss Smith, we leave the right to use all ideas, received from us concerning Lit- erature, in her future English work. To Miss Burdette, our painstaking Chemistry teacher, all knowledge and startling facts obtained through the performance of experiments, trusting that in the future, Science may profit by them. To Miss Griffin, our brilliant and beloved Latin teacher, we leave all prose compositions that we have produced, hoping that she may find rare entertainment concealed in same. To Miss Lewis, our His- tory teacher, we will our Library, consisting of nine “Review of Reviews,” one “American History,” and one “Government in State and Nations.” To Mrs. Johnson, we will a whole book of Cartoons. Item II We do hereby will and bequeath to the Class of ’26, our “best.” This includes our propensities for solving hard problems, accomplishing praise- worthy results in all our classes, co-operating heartily with our beloved faculty, and making Coffee County High the school it is today. We trust Shakespeare did not have us in mind when he said, “The evil that men do. lives after them; the good is oft interred with their bones.” Item III We do hereby give and bequeath to the Sophomores, deservedly named “wise fools,” part of our dignity and the right to occupy the important place of our proud, conceited Junior Class.
