John ollins’ ways of adapting himself t o the environment of Atlanta High to Ralph Bristow and Mary Purcell. Nellie Vogt wills her fine attendance record to Charlie Hubner and Jean Kappel. If you use this record as a standard, you will find yourselves in school five days a week instead of two or three, Raymond Behrends' cigarette smoking capacity goes to intrepid Eugene Fordham. Although a plug of Horseshoe i s more in Gene’s line, we think he can take care of both. Margaret Long, not having exercised the u se of the A s”-which were willed to her last year, now passes them on to Ruth Cochran and Donald Turner, in the hopes that they won’t have to pass them on next year. Harlan Warrick gives his list of names and addresses of girls in other towns to Betty Bateman and Betty Minick, knowing you girls will call on those who have brothers your age. Pete Faye's dynamic aptitude for getting his work done at home and at school to Betty Menzel and Barbara-Mitchell. We feel this is more than adequate for you girls, so yo u should get along very well. Frances Baker allows her perfect physical education attendance record to pass to Shirley Bishop. Shirley, if you use this as a pattern you will have fewer cuts next year. So feeling that our days are numbered, we, in the presence of two witnesses, hereby affix our sign and seal. Advisor
