Reola Adkins and Jaunita Adkins are following the famous movie magnate, Billie Joe Smith, trying to get his autograph. Now on a television screen Alberta Dailey steps out into the ring with her manager, Corena Love joy. Alberta is better known as Georgeous Georgette. Now we’re at the Wac registary center where cap- tain Eula May is giving K. P. duty to rookie Ruby Love- joy. We now go into a large air conditioned office where advertising executive, Clifton Yeager is giving dictation to his lovely secretary Jerry Elkins. As we wander up Mud River road we see a crowd of people around the home of Ann Yeager. She is giving a reception for the Reverend Ewell Cummings and his blushing bride, former Avenelle Sias. Here comes a jet propelled tractor. In the driver’s seat is Wetzel Miller who is running his farm on Atomic Energy. What is this? Oh! It’s just Ilene Whitten covered with grease after she swam the English Channel for the third time.

We, the members of the senior class of Hamlin High School, being about to de- part from our beloved high school and being greatly appreciative of the aid which has been given us by faculty mem- bers and schoolmates, hereby make this our last will and testament. I, Ann Yeager, being of changeable mind and stubborn disposition, do here- by will and bequeath to Marietta Neal, my ability to flirt in “Bobo’s typing class and still pass. I, Betty Adkins, being of unsound mind and no disposition what-so-ever, do hereby will my place in the National Honor Society to Delphia Lawson since she has spoken for it in advance. I, Evlyn Miller, being of quiet dis- position and unsound mind, do hereby will and bequeath to Don Watson my a- bility to get along with all the teachers and make good grades at the same time. I, Billie Joe Smith, being of a strong back and a very weak mind, do hereby will and bequeath to Gay Mannon, my noble and always faithful name of “Breeze , whom I know can take good care of it if he grows a little. I, Wetzel Miller, I, Billy Vickers, and I, Ronald Brock, the three mus- keteers, being of sound minds and corny dispositions do hereby will and bequeath to any three suckers our ability to stick together and never say a good word to each other as long as we have during our years at Hamlin High. I, Betty Richardson, with no mind what-so-ever and no disposition, do hereby will and bequeath nothing to no- body because I can't think of anything I can do without. I, Junior Linville, do hereby will and bequeath to Barbara Walden my ability to do bookkeeping as well as I did. I, John Woodall, being of unsound mind and quiet disposition, do hereby will and bequeath my bass horn to Maude Christian, providing she gets tired of her French horn. I, Betty Gibson, I, Margaret Swanson, I, Sally Plumley, and I, Ramona Hensley having an I. Q. of 140 and shy dispositions do hereby will and bequeath to Mrs. Messinger our name, “The Friendly Four,” so next year she can run Hamlin High School like we tried to run it this year. I, Eula May, being of unsound mind and crazy disposition, do hereby will and bequeath to Pauline Blankenship my brains, providing she can learn more than I did. I, Roy Lee Lambert, being of sound mind and lazy disposition, do hereby will to the journalism class of 1952 my gossip box, providing they use it more than the journalism class of 1951, and providing I get it finished by that time. I, Jackie Reynolds, being of weak mind and sound disposition, do hereby will my nickname of “Speed” and “Rough- house and also my interest in Hades to “Boggie McComas. I, Betty Jane Plott, better known as “Plotsie”, having a mind that God passed by and a quiet and lady like disposition, do hereby will and bequeath my title of having the biggest mouth in Hamlin High School to anyone that can go to the ball- games and yell as loud as I did. 18
