J2a±t (Will’ and dJsitatnznt We, the Senior Class of Boonville High School, being supposedly of sound mind and about to pass out of existence (as far as the Juniors are concerned) do make this our Last Will and Testament. To Mr. Martin, we leave with pleasure our admiration and appreciation for putting up with us all these years. To Mrs. Coram, who has been our guiding hand throughout this school year, we leave our undying love and devotions for the many things she has done for us. To our beloved typing teacher, Miss Reece, the Senior Class leaves all the good luck we have not had in order that she might keep her friendly smile and willingness to help the poor typing students next year. To the other teachers of Boonville High School, we convey our ability to know a good thing when we see it. As this ability has been largely created by their instructions, we merely return them their own invaluable gift. To the Freshmen and Sophomore;, collectively and individually, I convey my power of saying the wrong thing in the right place, or the right thing in the wrong place. Just how this is accomplished I am not able to say. Each one will need to work the matter out for himself or herself. There is no doubt that much benefit will result from the effort. We give and bequeath to the Junior Class all such boys as were not able to keep pace with such brilliant girls as com- pose the majority of our class, trusting that the Junior girls may be able to hold firmly to them and steer them fiimly next year through tne gates of Commencement, that they may not share in the humiliation that has been ours at not being able to hold our men folks” as the women of the world would put it. The individual traits of the Senior Class go to the Junior Class as follows: 1. Annie Phillips leaves her quiet but cheerful ways to Rachel Hudson. 2. Otis Vanhoy wills J. D. Hutchens his ability to keep his classmates sides aching and his teacher;’ heads aching. 3. Cay Hobson leaves her good sportsmanship to Ann Wilhelm. Mary Ann Holt leaves nothing but takes everything for future use. 5. Elizabeth Miller wills her studious attitude to Ora Lee Prim. 6. Aubrey Smith, Abe,” wills his position in football to Harold Lakey at fullback and he can play anywhere else that Speedy” might need him. 7. Kay Transou leaves her babyish ways to Ina Sue Fleming. 8. John Dee Davis leaves his way with women to Donald Hishaw. He might need it next year. 9. Nellie Norman has left to Henry Martin her title of Class Monkey. (Have you ever seen her climb from tree to tree ? ?) We have. 10. Rachel Stimpson leaves Betty Baker her title of the most likely to succeed. 11. Glen Casstevens gives Vernon Spence his talents for being the laziest boy in the class. 12. Peggy Sparks leaves Frances Stanley her talents as a chatterbox. 13. Thad Matthews leaves J. T. Riggan his quietness so he won’t be so noisy. 14. Vivian Prim leaves her winning ways of getting a husband to Laura Shore. 15. Bobby Lee Smith leaves Frances Stanley his personality traits that make him so likeable in the Senior Class. 16. To anyone who might need June Finny, and Joyce Billings’s love to change schools, apply early and avoid the rush.” 17. Fannie Lineberry wills her long hair to Ann Wilhelm for next winter. She’ll wish she had it. 18. Doris Mendenhall wills her blonde hair to Janet Matthews. Now Janet you won't have to be spending money for peroxide.” 19.

Arliss Nell Steelman leaves her job as Mr. Martin’s helper to Dorothy Brooks. 24. Roy Hurt leaves his Economics book and his knowledge of how to bluff Miss Day to Burley Simmons. 2 3. Ruby Vestal leaves her gift of words to Reuben Adams. Goodness knows he needs them. 26. Martha Vestal leaves her musical ability to Ina Sue Fleming (that seems to be all she lacks). 27. Nell Pendry bestores her pretty blonde curls to Betty Adams. 28. Frank Steelman, Jr. wills his mechanical talents to Donald Hinshaw. (We wonder how he d look greasy and dirty.) 29.

Major Woodruff leaves his title of best all-round to Billy Hinshaw. 34. Ann Shore wills her dignity to Ruth Caudle. 3 5. Kenneth Campbell wills his ability to sing to M. F. Scott, because if he goes to Hollywood he will need it to ranx up with the other famous singers. 3 6. Genevieve Davis wills to Bonnie Smitherman her ability to keep her mind off the boys. We hereby appoint our Principal sole executor of this our last will and testament. In witness whereof, we, the Senior Class of 1950, the testators, have set our last seal this twenty-seventh dav of Mat, one thousand nine hundred and fifty. Testator-—Arliss Nell Steelman
