lliililili LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE CLASS OF '40 State of Tennessee County of Hamblen City of lllorristown late, the Senior Class of Morristown High School, being of sound mind and being about to leave this High School, hereby make and declare this, olur last will and testament. FIRST: XYC. the Graduating Class, do hereby bequeath to our honorable successors our multitude of virtues and our goodly vices. Although our success- ors are endowed with a surplus of brains, we pass on to them our vast intellectual viewpoint. This viewpoint, I might add, is more than national, it is more than international: in fact. it is universal. To the distinguished members of the suc- ceeding class, we also bequeath our genius in the realm ot' sponts. Quite true we got licked in basketball, we got licked in baseball, we were no good in races, we were trimmed to a frazzle in tennis, and we spent a week in the hospital after each football game. lint does this indicate that we do not know how to play? Nonsense! lflow rediculous! All that it indicates is that the other fellows were much better than we were. SECOND: W'e do hereby bequeath to the future Seniors all the exquis- ite carvings with which our desks are adorned. lt is our last wish that these precious relics be treated with due admiration and respect. THIRD: To the faculty of Morristown High School, we will all the wads of chewing gum which are to be found under the aforesaid desksg since throughout the past year, the faculty has seemed to covet and look with longing eyes at the -aforesaid wads of chewing gum. FOURTH: Lyman Smith wills ALL his girls to the Junior boys. Hurry, boys, two girls will not last long!

Conkin is now in England dancing before the king. Flo Hill is head of the Red Cross here. She has as her helpers Dorothy Altom, Marie Collins, and Sarah Carson. Clifford Bryan, E. C. Pnrkey, Clure Hodge, and Harold Hale are pilots. Fire Chief in Morristown is Junior Lee, and Chief of Police, Carl Ja-cobs.

XVi1ey Charles is president of the U.S. His wife is the former Hazel Vifilliams. Employed as his private secretary is Virginia Bryant. It seems that Vtfanetta Riggs is hired to cheer up the president. when he is in one of those 'blue moods, by making wise cracks and telling him jokes. Mildred Garrett is married also and lives in California. NVhen the Gypsy had finished, I arose and went out of her tent with my head full of visions and wondering if what she had said would come true, but only time will tell. -Peggy XValter TO A CLASSMATE Twelve long years we've worked together, Sometimes qnarreling, sometimes gayg From the first grade to the ending lVe have come a long, long way. O'er the years our friendship strengthened. And it is, within my heart, A living treasure, to be present Long after we two shall part. A kind and understanding friend Is worth his weight in goldg And you have been this friend to me. Yes, I have oft' been told f That old friends are the best of friends And I believe it true, For never will I find a friend That quite surpasses you. -Flo Hill
