CLASS WILL The members of the Senior Class of Altavista High School leave this, their last will and testament, as evidence of their good wishes to students and teachers whom they regretfully bid farewell in June, nineteen hundred and forty. To Mr. Meade our deep appreciation for his sincere interest in our problems; and to Mr. Fray and the Campbell County School Board our sincere thanks for their efforts in securing improvements in our school. Mr. McIntosh receives our wishes for a new chemistry and biology laboratory; for Mrs. McIntosh a new crop of Jim Bennetts and Lawson Harmons. To Miss Simmons a condensed edition of English Grammar and to Mr. Mopsik a Civics class who will be enthusiastic about the subject. For Miss Steppe we wish a class of perfect ladies and gentlemen. We leave Miss Bailey our hopes for a radio to be installed in the Home Economics Cottage. To Miss Davies an annual staff that will work quickly and efh- ciently, and for Miss Phillips we wish a Senior Class who will keep their desks straight and the floor clean. For Mr. Kranke we leave a bigger and better Industrial Arts Department. Finally, to John, a quieter student body whose members do not throw paper and trash on the floors or school grounds. To: Hollie Bowers is willed Warren Yeatts’ curly locks. J. W. Hamner receives Jimmy Morgan’s place in the Senior Class as “class comedian.” Lamar Tinsley, Lessie Miller’s interest in school work. Inez English, Phyllis Hall’s position as captain of the physical education softball squad. For Bobby Newman we’ve saved Howard Weeks’ Latin grades. To Louise Hall goes Mazie Downs’ three years experience in playing basketball. We leave to Catherine Bennett, Geraldine Johnso n’s chatter box; to T. D. Tinnin, Jr., Fannie Barnard’s record for school attendance; and to Oliver Hutcherson, James Hylton’s versatility. We're giving James Cumnock, Rachel Patterson’s ability to type, and for Virginia Smith we bought a car like Vincent Allen used to have to be her very own. Don Mergler and Billy Wilburn are going to be presented with an automatic mischief maker. Charles Fauntleroy’s habits and ways are dedicated to Elizabeth Lewis. We are wondering if Estelle West could use Ann Wilburn’s blonde hair; and we know that Vera Jackson would be pleased to have some of Ruth East’s height. Clyde Brooks, Jr. is given Vincent Allen’s large collection of convincing (?) alibis. To Clara Pickrel we leave Dan McCoy’s “‘hail fellow well met” manner; to Bernard Rice, Vernon Rountrey’s originality in writing; and to Dorothy Burgess, Helen Hutcherson’s business ability. We imagine that next year Joe Creasy will occupy the same position among the Senior Who’s Who as does Warren Yeatts of this year’s class. The Senior Class presents to Hubert Downs a whistle to use while going through the hall; and to Sybil Reynolds a record of that Navy tune, Anchors Aweigh. Curtis Trent is given Roy McCrickard’s good spirits and Lessie Miller’s ability to study. We leave Peggy Gregory’s friendliness and cute smile to Margaret Anthony, while to Wal- lace Barbee goes Mary Hamner’s and Nancy McCartney’s love for music. For Annie Bel Williams a newspaper staff that will be cooperative, and for Mary Frances Mason, Edwin Cothran’s energy and pep. Marian Dickerson’s talkative manner is willed to Clara Newman. To Ruth Gaddy is given Mary Coffey’s ability to sing both soprano and alto; to Dorothy Gregory we leave Maude Worsham’s quiet manner. Perhaps Naomi Trent would like a little of Eunice Tinnin’s dignity (?), or Dorothy Lowman some of Mildred Harman’s studious- ness. For Lois Stinnette we’ve reserved E. G. English’s ability to debate and for Ruth Johnson, Helen Hutcherson’s naturally curly hair. The Senior Home Economics stu- dents’ love for that subject is left to Alma Quarles, while Katherine Lowman is pre- sented with Roy McCrickard’s ever present smile coupled with James Hall’s air of sophistication. To this, our Last Will and Testament, the Class of 1940 does set its hand and seal.
