LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT BESSEMER HIGH SCHOOL CITY OF GREENSBORO COUNTY OF GUILFORD We the Senior Class of 1949, being sound in mind, do hereby declare this to be our Last Will and Testament, hereby rendering null and void any former will and bequest that may have been previously made. We hope that those of you who are lucky enough to receive our prized possessions will keep them in memory of us, as we shall not pass this way again. ITEM I To our principal and faculty we leave our undying appreciation and gratitude for their tireless efforts in directing our progress and teaching us what they could. ITEM II To the Junior Class we leave the one thing that they have worked for eleven years, the one thing that only we can leave them—the honor and title of Senior. We leave our great store of knowledge to you as you will need it in publishing the newspaper and the annual. We also leave strength and endurance which you will need in filling the many vacancies in the athletic teams that will represent our-next year. We cannot leave you any dope on next year’s home teacher as we are not informed as to who you will have, but with our skill you should be able to handle her. ITEM III The Sophomore Class may also step up a notch. Your seat is just below the Senior, you now have the right to really live. You can come to school later and go home earlier. You have our right to skip at will and sass the teacher when you think it necessary. We also will to you our good judgment concerning these matters, just use it and your path will be smoother. ITEM IV To the Freshman Class we leave a pair of high powered binoculars in order that you may see your goal when the going gets rough. You also have our courage and cheerfulness—you will need it as the worst is yet to come. ITEM V We leave our pride, love and loyalty to dear ole’ Bessemer High School. May the patter of our feet and the sound of our voices echo through its hallowed halls in the years that follow our hesitating departure. ITEM VI Trim Smith leaves his name and all his political power to Amos Clendenin. Ernestine Leonard, our best dressed girl, leaves that honor to Ruth Pitts.
