Doris Hancock and Vilma Shupe, my former companions are now many miles away. Doris Hancock has given up her career in nursing to work at the Bland Hosiery Mill while Vilma is a private nurse for a dentist in Illinois. 1, Shirley Hubble, am very busy as a private secretary in Ohio. Gertrude Hanshew, Noel Atwell, Charles Anderson and Paul Catron have teamed up in their own musical television program on the NBC network, produced and directed by Wiley Cox. Anna Laura Atwell, Phyllis Umberger and Shelby Compton have received their de- gree from Radford College and are now teaching at their Alma Mater, Ceres High School, Tommi Bruce is now in Tennessee with her handsome hubby and all the little Col- liers. Andrew Cassell is the manager of the new MACY'S department store in Wytheville. Emory Lambert is now a Captain in the Air Force. Billy Dillman is the handsome General at Fort Belvoir and the lucky guy even has two secretaries, who by the way, are Beth and Linda Neel. Bruce Repass is now operating a productive farm near Ceres. Phyllis Patrick is now living in Georgia, or is that Germany? Shirlee Tibbs is the wife of a handsome Air Force Lieutenant in Kansas. Yes, dear diary, we, the senior class of 1957, have traveled far in the last ten years. LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the senior class of ninteen-hundred fifty seven, being of sound health and low mentality do here by and here upon will and bequeath our wornout and worthless pos- sessions. To the juniors, we leave our forgotten knowledge and dignified ways. To the sophomores, we leave our ability to pester the teachers. To the freshmen boys, we leave our interest in Loafers Joy hoping they will fur- nish their own cigarettes, To the freshmen girls, we leave our ability to sneak out to Loafers Joy”. To the faculty, we leave peace of mind to the coming years. Anna Laura Atwell leaves her height to Evelyn Ingram. Bruce Repass leaves his ability to catch women to Jerry Lindamood. Shelby Compton, Beth Neel, and Linda Neel will their ability to stick together to Barbara Umbarger, Jerry Scott, and Louise Surber. Phyllis Patrick leaves her ability to raise boys for Uncle Sam to Jerry Scott. Phyllis Umberger wills her sunny disposition and ability to play basketball to Judy Blair. Gertrude Hanshew wills her ability to skip classes without getting caught to Geral- dine Umbarger. Vilma Shupe and Shirley Hubble will their figures and blonde hair to Bobby Lee Davis and Dorothy Umberger. Tommi Mae Bruce and Shirlee Ann Tibbs will their flirty ways and ability to get a- long with theteachers to anyone who wants them, Paul Catron wills his duck tail to Adrain Tibbs in hopes that he will get it combed in time to catch the bus, Wiley Cox wills his love for Smyth County girls to Larry Tibbs. Emory Lambert wills his basketball ability to Edgar Spangler. Noel Atwell wills his curly hair and ability to get along with the girls to David Davis. Charles Anderson wills his singing ability to Benny Cox in hopes that he will reach the top with Elvis Presley. Billy Dillman wills his baseball ability to David Davis. Andrew Cassell wills his basketball ability to Noel Peck. Doris Hancock wills her love for Waddletown boys with the excpetion of one to Evelyn Ingram and Norma Sue Hall. We the senior class of 1957 solemnly swear that the above is the truth, the whole truth, and everything but the truth.
