SENIORS CLASS POEM The Senior Class of Lexington High, How wonderful the dreams which lie Within the hearts of those who stand Together here a happy band.

LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the Senior Class of Lexington High School, State of Alabama, in the year of 1954, being of sound mind and a generous disposition, do hereby make and publish this, our last will and testament, all wills other than this to be considered null and void. To our principal, Mr. Bailey, we leave the echoes of our voices about class rings which are sure to re- main, and five packs of BC’s to ease other pains we've caused. To our janitor, who has patiently kept our school clean in spite of our carelessness, we wish to leave our deepest gratitude. We also, leave all cigarette butts, and coco-cola tops which no doubt have missed the waste paper can. To our teachers, who have been so understanding during the past years, we hope that they have a more sympathetic class next year. A class who will have their home work ready to hand in on the right day. To the Junior Class, we leave the following; our half worn sidewalks, our squeaky stairways, our carved desks, our air-conditioned walls, our brooms that need to be put into use. And all our extra money that we no longer need. To the same class, we will all the honors and privileges which we think we can do without. We. Bonnie Hammonds and Faye Holden, will our love for each other to Jean Holley and Jean Jones. I, Opalene Craig, leave my studious ways to June Dean. I, Judith Nix, leave my blushes to Cherie Howard provided they are returned when necessary. We, Dean Jones and Barbara Allen, leave our pettish ways to Marsell Barnett and Shelby Hill. I, Edna Shook, leave my ways of rough playing in basketball games to Bonnie Beavers, and Sarah Cody. Better handle that ball careful, girls.

We, Virginia Roberson, Yvonne Jones, Mary Brumley, and Evelyn Newton, will our ability to get married and still continue school to Lenora Williams. Don’t give up, it's not to hard. I, Betty Jean Hill, leave my popularity secret to Joyce Ann Porter, providing it goes no further.

We, Doris Anne Michael and Nell Roberson, leave our friendly ways to Barbara Hammond. We, Nell .Steen, Sue Weldon and Nina East, leave our shy ways to Marie Springer.
