SENIOR CLASS WILLS DIVIDING THE TREASURE We, the members of the senior class of the Hamlin High School, being about to depart from our beloved high school, and being greatly appreciative of the aid which has been given us by faculty members and schoolmates, hereby make this our last will and testament. 1, Lucile Ray, being of sound mind and stubborn disposition do hereby will and bequeath to Joyce Ray my ability to go with the same boy steady for a long, long time. I, Paul Hayne “Tuffy” Smith, being of warped mind and deformed body do hereby will and bequeath to Jackie Leach my ability to make the honor roll every six weeks and my horrible and disgusting reputation. After he receives this, I will that he be forced to the top of the High School Building and hurtled head long into space. If we had any unusual grades, and if we did, we wouldn't know why we de- served them, we would will them to the whole student body, share and share alike, well knowing that there wouldn’t be enough to quarrel about. I, Alice Kathryn Reynolds, being of fairly sound mind and a happy dispo- sition, do hereby will to Jackie Leach my job of being office girl to Mr. Lovejoy, providing he doesn't sit on his lap. I, Herman Hicks, being of no mind whatsoever, sound body and changable disposition hereby will my love life to Lawrence Barrett and my girl friend to Junior Walden. I, Weltha Wheeler, being of sound mind and friendly disposition, do hereby will and bequeath to Callie Roberts my ability to get along with my boy friends. I, Omer Meadows, being of unsound mind and musical disposition do here- by will and bequeath to my niece, Joyce Ray, my ability to make good grades in English. We had intended to leave all our brains and knowledge to the freshmen of next year, but on second thought, realizing the sophomores would treat them rough at the beginning of another term, we have decided to place them in safe keeping and so request that they be left to the Juniors. I, Rowena Adkins, being of sound mind and corny disposition do hereby will my long red underwear to Anna Marie Adkins to wear to school next winter. I, Leo Dailey, being of cracked mind and quiet disposition do hereby will and bequeath to Jane Kimble a mirror to keep herself as pretty in the future as she has been in the past. I, Eva Lee Yeager, being of unsound mind and tired of school disposition, do hereby will and bequeath to Miss Adkins and Mrs. Bowen a one way trip to Spencer. They’ll need it when we graduate.

Senior Class Wills - Continued. To our teachers we leave the imposing mass of unusual and unverified information which may be found in our accumulated test papers. If any of the teachers wish to write an encyclopedia using this information, they may do so without paying royalties to our heirs. I, Raymond Richardson, being of fairly sound mind and romantical dis- position, do hereby will and bequeath my nickname of •‘Lover ’ to Dwight Bel- lomy providing he lives up to the name. I, Juanita Stickler, being of changable mind and very happy disposition do hereby make this my last will and testament, bequeath to Patty Plumley my ability to keep my little fingers on the keys of a typewriter, as her fingers al- ways fly up. I, Edward Adkins, being of a mind that God passed by, and a lovable dis- position, do hereby will and bequeath to Lawrence Barrett my ‘‘neckology ' tea- cher, Margaret McCallister, providing she does not let him put his knowledge into practice more than I did. I, Katie Smith, being of very sound mind and a quiet disposition, do here- by will my clear conscience of never skipping school to my little sister, Mary Lou. To the student body as a whole we leave an automatic electrical machine which is guaranteed to write any and every type of excuse which will pass the scrutinizing eye of our Principal Mr. Lovejoy. With the use of these machines it will be possible to cut classes and by pressing the proper lever you will re- ceive an excuse which states that you were unable to be in school the previous day due to a severe case of small pox. I, Bob Crow” Hall, being of feeble mind and flirty disposition do here- by gladly will to Charles Kimble my ability to get along with Mrs. Van Horn, providing that he comes to class once every six weeks. I, Kathleen Barrett, being of unsound mind and bad tempered disposition do hereby will and bequeath to Betty Gibson the front seat in Curry’s car. I, Buzzie “Bud” Reynolds being of sound mind and well fed body, do hereby will my typewriter to «my sucker that thinks that he can make A’s on it. I, May Lawson, being of long, lean, and lanky body, crazy disposition and with a powerful weak mind, do hereby will and bequeath to my dear, devoted friend Glennith “Guiena Pig” Pack the privilege to keep blowing kisses to my boy friend providing she continues blowing them and gets no closer. Our finger prints on the walls and in books where they should not be, we leave behind to show others that by our finger prints we shall be known. Our footsteps in the sands of time we leave to serve as examples of the way in which other students should walk.
