i Last Will and Testament We, the Senior Class of 1938, being of sound mind and sound body, do hereby make this, our Last Will and Testament, We, the Senior Class, 'will to the coming seniors our magnanimous ability to cooperate as a class. Mary Godbold wills to Ethel Elliott her cute, trite expressions. Pudd'n', we only hope they get you as far as they did Mary. Margaret Reaves leaves to Frances Lawson a few hundred pounds. Let it never be said that Margaret is stingy. W. S. Crenshaw bequeaths to Johnnie B. Glass his golden wavy hair. With this attraction, Johnnie B., you won't need any more Butches. Helen Hope Walker wills to Sarah Wade Owen her calmness of manner. We hope Sarah Wade will take advantage of this opportunity and set as good an example for the seniors next year as Helen Hope did this yea1'. Allen Fuller bequeaths his reputation as the Dignified Iceberg to Lawrence Pence. If you use this, Lawrence, you will never regret it. Lamb Hodges bequeaths her title as the acme of femininity to anyone who so desires it. It may be Lamb's baby talk, but the boys are usually hanging around listening. , Vernessa Henderson wills to Libby Stover her dainty'features and very petite figure. They are for your use in the Dramatic Club, Libby. A. D. Dodd' leaves to Sonny Hodges his ability to out-argue the teachers at all times. Sonny, you have to use your wits to baffle these teachers. Mary Stewart leaves to Bette Lawson her reputation as a great athlete. Bette, if you keep up the good work, you might be as good as Mary some day. T. J. Glascock bequeaths his schoolboy charm to Dick Haymes. Dick, all the girls will fall for it, and the teachers too. 1 - With my charm you can bet Some day you'll be Miss Mottley's pet. Charlie ,Smith leaves to Jack Spears his originality. . Charlie's .latest was Coach Jones' teaching a class for lovers. There might be something in that. Maybe the boys would come to school. Margaret James wills her charming and winsome ways with the Roxboro boys to Aileen Wilkerson. Frances Vaden leaves her domestic touch in Home Economics class to Margaret Dewberry. Margaret, if you profit by this legacy, some day you might get that preach- er you talk about. Arthur Crute leaves to Peter Staples his good nature and generosity. Peter, don't let them take advantage of it. John Hubbard bequeaths to Billy Williams his interest on Peach Avenue. Billy, if you had had Doonie's looks, physique, and personality, it might have been a close race. Shirley 'Owen wills her good disposition ,to Miss Lacy. Miss Lacy, I know you need this in Trig class. Oza Ridgeway wills to Charlotte Veasey her ability to do wonderful work on

w l that this Junior-Senior banquet should be as successful as any in the past. The senior class colors of the class of '37 gave us considerable trouble too in fashioning attractive favors for the banquet. If you don't believe it, try writing on maroon paper with gold ink, and see what happens! But by putting all of our heads together and laboring diligently Qwe say it with pardonable pridej, we were able to make OUR Junior- Senior banquet the most successful in the history of the high school. As I recall our high school life, I must mention a few individuals. We all re- member Becky, the tomboy, and how she suddenly grew up overnight into a very attractive young Rebecca. We remember our quaint, old-fashioned lady, Lamb. We can hardly realize that this modern sophisticated young lady of today is that same little girl. We can remember the time when T. J. and Wiley would blush to speak to a girl, and now-they are our star heartbreakers. We remember when Allen Fuller was our Little Lord Fauntleroyf' and now he's our Robert Taylor. We are proud to recall that one member of our class has really cared what became of the class, a member who has really Worried about us-Oza. Maybe she did carry it a little too far sometimes, but we all admit there is always a certain amount of worrying to be done. We are certainly glad that in our senior year we improved so much that we banished some of OZa's worries. All the members of our class have contributed toward making our high school career a success. The fire in the middle of our junior year brought great changes to us, and cut short a number of our cherished dreams and activities. But through the hearty cooperation of the school board, the faculties of the two schools, and of every individual student in school, we have been able to ca1'ry on in spite of all handicaps. Perhaps the most important and useful thing we learned to do in our high school life was to cooperate with each other. All of our book-larnin' can never make up for that most necessary attribute which high school has taught us-working together. It is for this that we have striven, and by this that we have succeeded in our tasks. g f SHIRLEY OWEN.

the Spotlight staff, and yet take second highest scholastic honor in the class. Char- lotte, it won't be easy. Rawley Fuller leaves to Crawford Staples all hi profound wisdom. Follow in Rawley's footste s Crawford d d 't- '- ' ' ' ' p , , an on .over use this gift. It might be dangerous. Dorothy Maynard bequeaths to Sarah Maynard her journalistic ability. Sarah, we hope you will help the school in this- line as much. as Dorothy. ' Eugene Motley wills to John Collins all his pictures of beautiful girls. John, you can call these for dates, rather than' looking all through the phone book. Pearl Goodman leaves to Hazel Herbster her Southern accent. But, Hazel, we think you make a swell Southerner, without the accent. O. T. Grimes leaves to Billy Smith his smooth, polished manners. Billy, you know such things d.o help people to get along in the world. Jane Wilkinson bequeaths to Elsie Spencer her ideas on everlasting love. If you have the real thing, Elsie, it's a wonderful life. Tom King leavesto Ned Allred his ambition and ability to take part in track meets and beat all contestants. Sam White leaves to anyone who is always wrong and never right his ability always to be in the right and never wrong. . Gwendolyn Pence leaves to Wesley Ballou her wonderful recitations on poetry in English class. This will come in handy, Wesley, when you start on your fourth year English. Dalton Roberson wills his interest in all types of business to Chick Lovelace. Now maybe Chick can concentrate on business rather than redheads. James Satterfield leaves to Tommie Greer his ability to say the least and have the most understood of any boy in school. Wiley Umstead wills his enormous appetite to Coach Jones. Coach, you might get that manly physique too. Robert Walton and' Mervin Matze bequeath their quietness of manner to Berry- man Green. Now Berryman can put on the soft pedal when he makes announcements in class. We leave to the seniors and all the rest of the student body a beautiful new school' building, with space in it for everything, and a whole school day in which to work without hurrying. And finally with gladness in my heart, I leave to anyone who is crazy enough to take it, the prophecy of the class. BECKY WILLIAMS.
