SENIOR CLASS WILL Be it known that we, the Senior Class of the Grafton High School, in the County of Taylor, and State of West Virginia, being of sound and disposing mind and memory, do make, publish and declare this instrument to be our last will and testament, hereby revoking all formed testaments. Ernest Clark gives and bequeaths to Clay Miller, eleven leagues of his lengthy leanness. Bosalean Fleming leaves to Frederick Warder her honor as Valedictorian. Susan Sayre bestowes the honor of Salutatorian upon Hugh Church. Virginia Shanabarger, better known as the “Vamp,” wills this honor to Hattie Shroyer. Percy Robinson is ready and willing to give his leadership of the orchestra to George Foster. Ruby Colebank is very sorry to leave her giggles; but as she knows that someone will need them next year, she hereby has consented to give them to Maude Menear. Clair Bee leaves his position as football captain to Robert Van Horn. Junior Chenoweth has consented to leave his best girl. Margaret Shaffer, to Ralph Poling, as he thinks this will be agreeable to both parties. Mary Shackleford wills her vociferous voice and her remarkable speaking ability to Francis Warder. Robert Jefferys, with much coaxing, gives the honor of being a second Mr. Piggott to Harold Kramer, because he thinks Harold will appreciate the honor. Henry Wehn, Richard Bartlett, Terring Heironimus, Charles Kimmell. (’lair Bee and Krnest Clark leave to the future basket ball team the honors they made at the state tournament. Rena Primm, Mary Brydon, Virginia Shanabarger, Anna I angsdale and Maudie Lucas also leave the honors they won at the state tournament to the future girls’ basket ball team. Lillian Rinard leaves her bluffing abilities to Charles Hanley, while she doesn’t think he needs it he will feel honored. Eleanor Metzner is very sorry to say that she has nothing to leave for the future Senior Class. John has already gone, and Terring is going with her this year. Mary Paugh very unwillingly leaves her pocket book with its contents, a mirror and powder puff, to Edna Bun-ner since Edna is not in the habit of using such articles to generate beauty. Mary Scranage wills her quiet disposition to Beatrice Shaw, since their dispositions are much alike. Clinton (table leaves his height to Bob Van Horn along with his dramatic abilities. Robert White wills his dimples to Winona Belle. Arnold Hefner wills his hunting dogs to Carrie Sapp. He leaves his shotgun with Douglas Cahill. Edith Hanley leaves her interest in soldier boys to Elizabeth Brown. Theodore Patton wills his position in the orchestra to Lake Phillips. Shippley McIntosh leaves his Ion walk to school every day to Archie Frush. Archie needs the exercise. Anna Groves leaves her chewing gum to Hannah Moats. Willie Copp wills his girl, Bee Shaw, to someone who will guarantee not to leave her. Signed, sealed and declared by the above named Class of 1920 to be their last will and testament, in the presence of us who have signed our names as witnesses hereto: (Signed) Richard Bartlett, Class President. Henry Wehn, Vice President. Pauline Burdette, Secretary and Treasurer. 2S

SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Have any of you ever looked into a Magic Crystal? I am gazing into one now and am having my future revealed to me. If anyone looks into a Magic Crystal and concentrates his mind upon one particular thought a vision in answer to that thought will appear in the Crystal. I am trying to think now of what the members of the present Senior Class of G. H. S. will be doing in the Year 1945. Are you interested too? Well, then let me tell you what I see. I see Miss Mary Shackleford as the successor of Miss I anham as teacher of the Domestic Science Department. Mary seems unable to get a hubby, having to work for a living. No wonder! Percy Robinson is a noted musician, but he is still telling people to go to thunder. Rosalean Fleming is President of the First National Bank of Pruntytown, W. Va. First rate luck for her. Howard Leonard is a doctor practicing at Webster, W. Va. Many compliments Howard, in your new profession. Well, well, what do I see here but Miss Lillian Rinard. No, I mean Mrs. H---------, walking down the streets of Grafton with her hubby. They seem to be very, very happy. I see Shippley McIntosh as a most prosperous farmer, residing about ten miles from the City of Grafton, W. Va. Ah! Here I see Miss Susan Sayre. What a change has taken place in her life. I now see her as a dancing instructor in good old G. H. S. Best of luck Susan. Gimminee, just look at this. Here’s Arnold Hefner tending the animals of Spark’s Circus. At last Arnold is entirely free to roam among his kind. Yes, he can hunt if he wants, too. I see Mr. Clair Bee as Editor of The Grafton Sentinel— and look, Ethel is helping him set up type. Good luck Bee. Miss Mary Yates appears to be a grim old maid, living alone with her cats. Mercy Me! Here’s dainty little Eleanor settled down to housekeeping. What a dainty little Bungalow they live in. Eleanor seems contented with her new name—Mrs. Heir-onimus. Our class seems to have a number of bankers in it. Look at this- Joseph Barlow is now the President of the First National Bank of Grafton, W. Va. He’s little but he’s mighty. Best of luck, Joe. James Parkhill stems to be drawing something. Well, folks, we have missed our guess. We all though he would be a cartoonist but here I see him as the world’s greatest architect drawing the plans for a mighty skyscraper. Orville Yates is still the same kind hearted fellow he was in his boyhood. He is now the leading merchant in Newburg, W. Va. Carrie Leuthke is teaching in the West Virginia Industrial School with Burrett Watt as her superintendent. Ah! What a change. No longer do we pace up and down Main street and pass that very large sign which reads “Loar, Hendrickson Co., Clothiers.” But instead, we see in its place a larger sign which reads—‘‘Richard Bartlett Sons Co., Clothiers.” Best of luck Richard. Well, well, here I see Ruth Steele in the Movies. She is taking the leading role as “Topsy” in the filming of Uncle Tom’s Cabin. Ernest Clark is still interested in Athletics—yes, but poor boy, it seems that he doesn’t have much time to indulge in his favorite sports because you know he now has to make a living for himself and his wife, the former Miss Virginia Shanabarger. Here I see Ralph, “Tubby” Peters. No, he is not a track walker as he was when he went to school. But rather, I can see him here riding the tracks in a special car, as Superintendent of the B. O. Railroad Company. Clinton Gable has been elected to Congress and Victor Willhide is to accompany him to Washington, for you know Clinton is so small there is great danger of him getting lost. Genevieve Hedrick is now a noted actress, in fact, as I see her here, she is the leading actress of the “Wehn Copp Light Opera Co.” Gladys Hickman has at least taken one long visit to Weston, W. Va., and she expects to remain there the rest of her natural life. Here I see Miss Anna Groves keeping house while her husband makes glasses. Look at this! I can see Mary Brydon as a teacher in W. Va. University. Surely the University must now be a great place of learning. Gee, our class seems to have a number of business men in it. Look here—I can see Ray Monroe as the President of The Monroe Soap Co., and I notice that he has hired Junior Chenoweth and Robert White as two of his leading salesmen. I see Theodore Patton as a great musician with his studio in the suburbs of Brydon, W. Va. It seems that Ruby Colebank doesn’t laugh as much as she did in her school days. She is in a more serious position now as Superintendent of the Girls’ Industrial School at Salem, W. Va. Well, what do I now see, but a Court Room with Ruhl Custer as the Prosecuting Attorney. There seems to be a trial going on. Someone says that Maudie Lucas is suing for a divorce. Irene Kitzmiller is Librarian for the new Library established in the City of Grafton. This library was built by the wealthy Miss Burdette—widow. Lo and behold! I see Charles Kimmel as a great Evangelist who travels all over the world with Robert JelTerys as his leader of music and singing. Ruth Stillwell is now living on the Larsh farm just east of the city. Well, well, we have two more Business Men in our class. Here I see Harold Tremble and William Stewart as partners in the artificial milk business. Well, so far we have seen very few of our class members as teachers, doctors and ministers. Therefore, it would be interesting to note that I can see Miss Mary Paugh as a Missionary in China. Here, look, I see Miss Anna Langsdale as coach of the Central School first basket ball team. Marie Elliott is riding on a train. Wonder where she is going? Oh, I see now. She is going to her farm a few miles south of Grafton. She still saves money by riding on the train as a child under six years of age. I see Rena Primm as a grass widow, making her living as a dressmaker. Well, it is nearly twelve o’clock. Suppose we stop for tonight. There is only one thing I have to say and that is that all the Seniors have a bright future ahead of them, and if each member of the class follows the guidance of the Magic Crystal with all his effort—nothing but success can lie ahead of him.
