CLASS WILL We, the Senior Class of 1940, of sane mind and possessed of all our faculties, wish to leave our following possessions to our underclassmen. May they use them to the best possible advantage and in doing so may their thoughts ever to us return: To Miss Hatch and other members of the faculty, we leave our many thanks and deep appreciation for the great help they have rendered to us during our school days. To the Freshman Class, we leave our popularity in order that they will be more popular with their teachers. To the Sophomore Class, we leave our leadership in order that they will have more leaders. To the Junior Class, we leave our honor of being Seniors and the responsibility of printing and publishing the year-book; may they have less trouble. We further wish to make the following individual bequests: To Thelma Johnson, I, Gertrude Yancey, leave my bashfulness in order that I may be less bashful and she may blush sometime. I, Vernice Lewis, leave my beaus to Ola Mason. May she always have plenty. My wide-awake interest in my surroundings, I, John Bowers, leave to Howard Gwaltney, in hopes he will not sleep in class. To Ruby Taylor, I, Myrtle Jordan, leave my leadership; I hope she will enter more clubs. I, Curtis Sumner, leave my studious ability to Danise Clark so that she can get her work up on time. I, Marshall Snead, leave my politeness to C. W. Johnson. To Susan Barnes, I, Allie Mae Cox, leave my quietness and peaceful nature with the hope she will not get angry so quickly. I, Helen Whitten, leave my friendliness to Bettie Lou Moss; may she be more friendly. To Roy Clark, I, H. T. Thompson, leave my noisy ways. Don’t be so quiet, Roy. To Rachel Tacket, I, Elsie Brewer, leave my curls in hope she will soon have some as well. I, Ethel Hightower, leave my seriousness to Mary Frances Harris in order that she may be more quiet. I, Drury Evans, leave my athletic ability to Billy Watson. May he enter more sports. To Eva Mebane Gordan, I, Edna Thomas, leave my happy-go-lucky ways so that she will take love less seriously. To Nancy Blalock, I, Zenora Belle Gordon, leave my size in hopes that she will grow taller. I, Edward Curtis, leave my size and strength to John C. Gordon in hopes of another big baseball player. An ever-ready smile to Evelyn Stovall, I, Rachel Simmons, leave. Evelyn, don’t take life so seriously. 1, Lucille Cliborne, leave my artistic ability to Edwin Powell; may it help him to improve his airplane models. I, Elliott Ashworth, leave my quietness to William Simmons to help him lower his voice. I, Ardelle High, leave to Rachel Wells my name of being a flirt. To Iris Manning, I, Ruby Moseley, leave my talking ability. I hope she will be less bashful. To the whole school, we leave our happiness and good times. May their memories of us be long and pleasant. THE SENIOR CLASS Gertrude Yancey and Ethel Hightower.
