fast Will anb ' Testament We, the Class of 1951, on our departure from Big Island High School, in the County of Bedford, in the State of Virginia, possessing good common sense and the average amount of human intelligence, do make, publish and declare this to be our last will and testament-. To our beloved principal, Mr. G. R. Bird, we bequeath our sincere thanks for his be- nevolent guidance in helping us attain our goals. To Mrs. Wilson, our senior sponsor, we promise to pay our alumni dues and after a per- iod of ten or fifteen years send her a few thousand dollars to help pay for the aspirin and bandaids we used after each basketball game. To Mr. Oglesby, we leave exactly nine world history books to distribute among his next year ' s history class. The underlined phrases will save him a lot of explaining and also be a help to the pupils. To Miss Harris, we leave an unbroken succession of restful nights and peaceful dreams. No longer need she lie awake through the long watches of the night to worry over the un- certainty of her chemistry students, for seniors are said to be at all timesand underall con- ditions difficult to manage. But she has done her duty and verily now shall she have her re- ward . To Mrs. Eberhardt, we leave kindness and bright sunshine to keep her smiling. To Mrs. Oliver and Miss Weaver, we leave a more co-operative library group. To Mr. Callahan, we leave the memories of this, his most brilliant shop class. To the teachers of the primary grades, we leave the hope that their boys and girls may grow up to be as smart and good-looking as we are. To the JuniorClass, we leave a pair of crutches, so that in case of accidents suchas mem- bers of our class had, they will have them. To the Sophomore Class, we leave a patent paper-picker to help them to keep their room in good order. To the Freshman Class, we leave more social life at B. I. H. S. Barbara McNeely wil Is her stylish appearance to Voorheis Wright, and Norma Smith wishes to also leave to Voorheis her natural curls . Betty Hudson wills her dark and snappy eyes to Alice Wilson. Clarence Sligh wills his way with the girls to Tommy and Billy Booker. Rachel Arrington and Ethel Wilson leave their good looks and sense of humor to Mary Reynolds. Bobby Collier leaves his ability to get along with people to Charlie Sanderson. Bobby Spence wills his athletic ability to Elory Cornelius. Mildred Burks leaves her athletic ability and optimistic outlook on I ife to Dorothy Ball owe . To Joyce Collier, Ida Manley and Bobbie Noel wil I their kindnessand wil lingness to help in every activity. We give to Bobby Martin (and any other member of the Junior Class who needs it!) Jack Trevey ' s knowledge of English, Government, Geometry, and Chemistry. We trust that this great store of knowledge may be utilized. To Patsy Mitchell, goes Mary Park ' s position as Office Assistant. Bobby Patterson leaves his brown and wavy hair to Ronnie Rice. James Cox wills to Jimmy Furr his interest in Iris Routon.
