LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the class of 1956, in the town of Harts ville, the county of Darlington, and the state of South Carolina, being in as good mental condition as usual, and in much better temper than usual, do hereby make this, our last will and testament. We feel that our brilliant record and our unusual achievements will live after us, but, not wishing to take any chances, we find it fitting and proper as we leave Butler, our dear loved school, to dispose of our most valuable possessions to the incoming seniors. We hope that they will put forth their most strenuous efforts in taking utmost care of these be- loved possessions. We, the members of the senior class leave to the members of the junior class our good luck. In addition to this, all our privileges and rights as seniors in classroom and chapel will revert to them, also our unfinished business.

CLASS PROPHECY Next is a famous contralto singer who flew infrom Europe especially to appear on our program tonight. I am sure you will remember her. Miss Christine Mingo. The spotlight is now shifted to the Frazier sisters who are better known as the famous Frazier Sisters Singers. They tour the globe each year. You may see them again in person at our local theater in the near future. And now, out upon the platform strolls Mr. Elisha Mashack. He needs no introduction, for we all recognize him at once, a great religious advisor and philosopher. He is also the author of many delightful stories which we have all enjoyed so much. He will now tell how his friends in the old home town inspired many of his best stories. Next is a famous pianist who plays beautifully and looks not a day older than when she played in the school orchestra; now pianist in a city church and teacher in an institute of piano music. Miss Catherleen Herrington. And now, relax and listen to the sweetest music on this side of heaven by Mr. Archie Rouse and his famous band. He has just returned from a concert tour in Europe. On with the music. Then, last of all, looking stunning in an elaborate evening gown, comes Miss Betty Samuel. She is a writer of plays and has two success- ful ones running on Broadway now. She will now present a scene from one of her most recent productions The Whole Town is Talking. It has been a real delight to see all our old friends so young and prosperous, so generous of their money and talents. Now, before we leave, refreshments will be served through the courtesy of Mr. Alvin Heatley who is the owner of a chain of restaurants up on Sugar Hill. See you there. Harrison, Alford Heatley McKnight
