liRllMBllR'S SPEECH We have a wonderful senior class this year. For instance our president, Elbert Deason, was voted laziest boy in the class. We don't have a most devoted couple this year, but it is no fault of Meta Courington and Duette Crumpg they certainly tried. If there could have been any money circulating in the senior class I'm sure everyone would have been happy to buy Donald Hallman and Billy Handley a razor and some razor blades, but we waited so long that we had to buy dog tags instead. I wish Martha Alcorn would quit repeating the history of James Murray Brown! We learned it the first day of school. I know Alice Thompson must feel her importance, because after all, it isn't everyone who can be president of the Beta Club. I hope the Sr. II class has a little money left in their treasury, because the way Joyce McCl1nton and Barbara Manasco walk the hall they will probably have to buy a new one next year. If Ted Jones and Pete Boyd would study their school books instead of books on How to Become 5 Successful Romeo, maybe they would have at least aUC' average. The chemistry class of U9-50 will long be remembered for its ability to make the wonderful fragrances which fill the hall and class rooms every day. I don't know what the senior class will do next year for dicta- tors. I haven't seen Nella Jean and Rosie training anyone to take their places. If you ever wonder why Carolyn Deason is so conceited, just re- member that it 1sn't everyone who is fortunate enough to have a boy friend who has a car that you have to get into twice. The first time, you fall through. , Why doesn't Alvera Thompson dye her hair red, since she loves red- headed people so much. Wanda Scheile won't need any privileges when she becomes a senior. She is taking hers now. Jimmy Key, if you must write love letters, don't put them in desks where they can be found. It could put you in a very embarrasing position. We wish Vola Flippo would stop trying to take Coach Perry to Oak- man every morning, we still have to have to a teacher the first period. Why does R. P. Williamson have to go to Jasper to get a girl, what is wrong with the girls in Parrish? I wonder why Betty Sue always writes notes in Latin to Bobby Latham. Is she afraid he will find out their meaning? How did Bobby Ruth and Jimmy Nell Key ever manage to get into seo- ond year Latin when they don't even know first year? Why d1dn't Dot Walden get to be grumbler? She always manages to find something to grumble about. I don't understand why Jean Shannon acts so bashful in class? Why can't she act like she does around Ronnie Odom? I feel sorry for poor little Tommie Handley. I know her head is whirling from turning so fast from Wiley to Clarence, and from Clarence back to Wiley. Now friends, I'm sure you're just as much in the dark as I am as to why the senior class elected me grumbler. 3' J-Q? .X- ei..

lASI Wlll We, the Senior Class of Parrish High School, city of Parrish, county of Walker, and state of Alabama, being of sound mind and memory, do here- by make, publish, and declare this our last will and testament, hereby revoking any will or wills heretofore made by us. To Mrs. Michael, the class wishes to leave its great appreciation for the many favors shown us in our senior year. To the faculty, we wish to apologive for having caused them so much trouble in grading and we hope the class of '51 will not roam around so much, but will concentrate on studying. To the Junior Class, we will our place in the hears of all our teachers as the best class in school. Also we leave them our many privileges- that is, if they can find them. Joyce McCl1nton has something great to will. Joyce wills her 1.5 horse- power to Gayle Winn. . Duette Crump wills her flirtatious ways to her cousin, Peggy Jo Crump. She really doesn't need them. Albert Davis wills his sea-sickening hair waves and his fradumss to Darwin Stough. Ted Jones came up with two wills. Ted wills to Naomi Groves his red hair CTon1 tool. He wills his ability to be best athlete to Billy Kilpatrick Rosie Handley wills her ability to be teacher's pet to anyone who can pass the training. If I were Jone Burnett I would certainly be studying very hard to pass. Nelda Shannon wills to John Fred Groves, her sister, Bobby Phth Shannon. Meta Lou Courtnaton wills to her sister, Betty the ability to piddle around ln the lunchroom a half day. ' Lorene Odom and Jimmy Smith will their ability to manage to sit together in every class to Betty Plylar and Eleanor Davis. From Raymond Lockhart came a will to Charles Groves his ability to sing hill-billy songs. delen and Lorene Odom will to Betty Cottrell and Ollie Jones the prac- tice of not being separated over five minutes at the time. From Betty Piper came a will to Frances Hutto. Betty wills to Frances her habit of making sarcastic remarks. Pete Boyd, being the handsomest boy in the Senior Class, thought that he should not date girls in Parrish, but date in Jasper, therefore, he wills this practice to Gleen Teele. To the next Associate Editor of Parrisian, Donald Hallman leaves his snap of a Job of getting up an annual. Truman B own wills to Jimmy Jackson and Brodie Plylar his sdm right to go to sleep in class whenever he pleases. Tommy Handley wishes to rent her chair ln the office to Wanda Schlelle. 28
