After the show, the party group went back to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Cook. and Santa came. Gifts were exchanged by all juniors and much fun was had in passing them out.

as SENIOR CLASS WILL As it is the custom of all old people to make a will, it is also the custom of a class to make a will when it reaches its matured age. This, the senior class of 1948, is truly nearing its death, and it is not dying from any particular disease. It has just reached the age in its life when it is not advisable for it to exist any longer. So this, the will of the senior class, must be fully drawn up and executed. We, the seniors, Poppy Bell, Flo Reba Dean, Bettie Rater, Onita Evans, Bernice Thompson, Billy Sweazea, Cliver Gill, Jack Moore, Florine Loveall, Bertie Sue Wetsel, Raymond Stracner, Ruby Reaves, Wendel Mayo, L. D. Barnett, and Nhurine Wetsel, have entered into this will solemnly, seriously, and conscientiously. First, we are bequeathing our individual gifts or personalities which of course, are gifts to be desired by most anyone. Very few people in the world are as gifted, and talented in many respects as we fifteen seniors, and we fully realize that we are being very kind indeed to leave such valuable gifts. Now L. D. Barnett, who happens to be the first on our roll. leaves his dashing and winning ways with the girls to Lester Allen. Lester, we hope that this will make you as happy in life as it has L. D. Then Oliver Gill, the masculinebrains of the class, very gladly leaves all of his athletic ability to Nelson McCord. We shall expect great things from you, Nelson, after receiving this wonderful gift. Poppy Bell, the most popular girl in our class, wills her even temper to Nhrgie Cox. Now Margie, we feel that you may now be able to control your temper better, and also that you will always be pleased and happy with everything as Poppy has always been. Wendel Mayo, Billy Sweazea's cousin and shadow, leaves his ability to make an A card each six weeks to Marvin Tyson. Now Marvin, all your worries are over since you have been bequeathed such talent. Flo Reba Dean, the only senior girl with red hair, leaves a big chew of chewing gum in the southwest left-hand corner of her bookkeeping desk to Pearl Phrris. Pearl, this gum is not yours unless you begin chewing it immediately upon finding it. Maurine Wetsel, the class beauty, leaves her ability to never for- get or to lose anything to Frances Lawler. Frances, we trust that you will never lose your glasses again now. Raymond Stracner, the senior boy with so many names, leaves his penmanship ability to Bryan Spivey. Good luck Bryan for never again will your writing be questioned. Z

Billy Sweazea. the all important president of the senior class, gives to Bill Orton his powerful physique. Brace up Bill, for now you will be a big man tomorrow. Ruby Heaves. the girl who does not get peeved when teased about being fat, gives to Frances Flinn her spiking ability on the volleyball team. Now Frances. you may begin looking forward to having your picture made while spiking. That should be worth 37.50 to any annual. Bettie R ter, the smallest senior girl, leaves her typing ability to Doris Ann Sullenger. So Doris Ann, you indeed have something to be thankful for. Bernice Thompson. the senior who will tackle any job no matter how big, leaves her ability to talk the loudest and the longest on any sub- ject to Betty Fuller. Betty, may you use this gift constantly because Bernice has certainly given it a big trial. Jack Moore, the most popular boy in the class, wills his love for the school cafeteria to Wayne Barnett, Wayne, we hope you grow as fat from eating thereas Jack has. Florine Loveall, the senior girl with a sweet tooth. wills her vocal ability and her dramatic ability to Ann Davis. Ann, may these great talents bring as much pleasure to you as they have to Florine. Onita Evans, the senior girl with the becoming bangs, wills her cute way of really getting people stated to Alice Mauldin. Alice. you should see Onita privately. and let her advise you in this accomplished art . Bertie Sue Wetsel. the girl who has a one man mind, leaves her position as volley ball mascot to Rosemary Orton. And Rosemary, if you work so hard that you have an attack of appendicitis, you may have Bertie Sue's room in the Bowie Clinic too. And now as a professional group, we leave our text books to our weary teachers. Teachers, may you make them as uninteresting to the other classes as you have to us, and may you please remember that we have not enjoyed studying them one single minute. We know that you will issue them each year: but we also know, and so do you. that they will be studied very little. And to the Junior Class, we leave our place in the old study hall. Juniors, please try to look important enough to occupy those seats, and always be in your places in time for lunch room count each morning. as this is such an important event each day. And also, Juniors, we request that you be as nice as we have to all classes in school. You know how sweet we have been to you, so let that be a lesson. You are to be the leaders of the school. and we hope that you are successful in doing this And as all wills must end. so must this one. We hope that we have not forgotten anyone who is deserving enough to be remembered. Nhy the light of a new world rest upon the beneficiaries of this will.
