ass UZ!! fi. 1 ' - e '63 6 Z nf! Q , We, the Senior Class of 1948, town of Orrville, County of Dallas, and State of Alabama, being of sound mind and knowing that Orrville School, by our graduation, will be deprived of its most attractive, intelligent, and efficient students, and seeking to make restitution for this loss, do make,publ1sh,and declare this to be our last will and testament, in the manner following, that is to say: ITEM I: We, the Senior Class, do hereby will to Mr. Childres all our knowledge of politics, conveyed to him through sociology class discussions, to be used to the best advantage in the support of the democratic candidate in the '48 Presidential election. ITEM II: We, the Senior Class, give and bequeath to the entire faculty our deep- est appreciation. You have guided us most dexterously, and now you have your re- ward, the Class of '481 ITEM III: The Senior Class as a unit leaves to Mrs. Oliver the ability to keep the halls clear, supervise the work on the Orr-Bit, listen to speeches for the orator- ical contest, give typing tests, and twirl her glasses at the same time. To the Senior Class of '49 we leave a suggestion! Just don't think about it, kids, if you want to keep your sanity. ITEM IV: We individually and specifically dispose of the following personal pos- sessions: I, Lula Mae Lester,leave my ability to get a man and keep him to Janet Cope- land. I, Randy Davis, will my ability never to say a word and yet know all the an- swers to Marion Massey.

I, Leroy McGhee, leave my refusal to smile when having a picture taken to Ralph Walker. It's a serious business, Ralph! I, Mae Williams, leave m bottle of Griffin ABC shoe polish to Virginia Fa- rish. Keep those saddle oxfords clean, gal!

The Junior-Senior Banquet will live long in our memories. We entertained at Perrin's Dinner Club in grand style. Lula Mae Crocker was hostess. If the seniors enjoyed it half so much as we, everyone had the time of his life. Finally came our Senior year---that climax of our plans, efforts, and dreams! We were in high spirits, welcoming Virginia Tippett back from North Fulton High School in Atlanta, Georgia. Virginia had been with us in grammar school, and was much at home. She represented our school at the Selma Horse Show, and was class candidate for Queen of the Hallowe'en Carnival, with Stanhope Frasier as candidate for Kinge M. C. Patterson, another veteran of World War II, joined us temporarily. He graduated at mid-term, having gained several credits by his Army service. H. C. adds to the life of any group, so we enjoyed his short stay with us. After earning extra credits at Parrish High School by summer school work, Hazel Boggs and Kent Lauderback came to us from the tenth grade here. Hazel had already gained fame in oratory. She represented our school in the District B1rmingham-Sou- thorn Oratorical Contest last year, and later won the local Stallworth Contest. Kent had been with us in our Freshman year, and we welcomed him back to the fold, remembering his good nature and cooperative spirit. Lula Mae Crocker came back to us as Lula lae Lester, having married during the summer vacation. She reigned as Queen of the Future Homemakers of America during the week set aside for National Future Homemakers of America Week. This was the first time the nation had observed this occasion. The Class of '48 went over the top in the Curtis Publishing Magazine sale, mak- ing the best record the school had had in several years. The goal of five hundred dollars was exceeded by twenty-five percent. We also made our mark in the world of sports! Stanhope Frasier was captain of the football team and Roy West captain of the basketball team. Johnny Meredith, M. C. Patterson, Sammie Lewis, Leroy McGhee, Howell Geeslin, and Kent Lauderback covered themselves with glory on the gridiron. They get our vote for All-State honors. Now as we come to the end of our journey, we look backward with an occasional sigh for wasted hours that might have been used to equip us better for the years ahead. Then we turn eagerly toward a future bright with promise. And as we pledge ourselves to make the most of that future, we resolve to cherish always the ties of friendship that have held us close. cmss HISTORIAN .ffdg frry v - .45 y' 'lt 1,0 e 13

I, Hazel Boggs, wish to leave my ability to supervise and manage any type of activity to Carolyn West. Leadership is really a fine characteristic. I, Kent Lauderback, leave my whiskers, muscular biceps, and deep voice to E. P. Massey so that he can bluff his football opponents. I, Johnny Meredith, will my love for 'Barbecue Heaven' and appreciation for beautiful girls to Billy Childres. I trust you will carry on my football fame and preserve for Orrville School my nickname, 'Loaded Dynam1te.' I, Ada Gene Moore, will my long hair and height to Jean Ellen Jewell. May you always use them to the best advantage. I, Malena Herod, leave my ngigglesn to Dolores Stone. The fits are such fun and you don't even have fever with them. I, I. C. Patterson,leave my magic words that bring forth marshmallows to Pat Knight. 'Them things and 'Aye, George' shore help ya play heroic footbal1.' I, Howell Geeslin, will my false tooth to any player who loses one during the '48 grid season. I, Sam ie Lewis, leave my green eyes and loud shirts to John Sherrer. They really please the women, John. Signed, sealed, and delivered in the presence of witnesses, on this, the 15th day of lay, 1948. CLASS LAWYER WITNESSES: . . - .
