THE PARROT Daniel Graham wills that every-ready, ear-to-ear smile to Priscilla Honbarger, with hopes, however, that she will not fail to reciprocate that smile as often as he did. Fay Cress wills her unused French book to Margaret Bennett, at the same time hoping that she will use it more each day. Ja mes Wilhelm wills that empty gas tank on his bus to Raymond Boggs, and for goodness sake, keep that thing filled. Violet Winecoff weeps out loud for she knows that she must soon depart from her world of sports. Still, she leaves all of her acquired sports-ability to Viola Owens. Our loyal student, Junior Herrin, wills his loyalty to Frances Wilhelm. Although Thomas Abernathy is not willing, he will give an extra foot of height to Mary Brown. To Wade Clawson, who has a good start, Andy Dickerson wills his ability to tease the girls. Duard Cress will his ability to judge seeds in agriculture to Wade Rogers. Good ole Va. Lowder wills her “big times” to Bessie Louise McComes in case she ever needs more carefree ways. All the unnecessary jabbering in Geometry class is willed to Oscar Correll by his good friend, Edgar Baker. N. J. Grimes wishes that Wormie Beaver carry on that dignified appearance that made him famous. Vardell Graham leaves his calm manners to Albert Sloop. That excellent part in the Senior play is willed by Billy Hauss to actress Willie Mae Cowan, with hopes for a successful future. Don Jones wills his seat near the paper rack in Study Hall to his brother Rollo. Elmer Shue bequeaths his debonair black hair to Sarah Goodnight. And please don’t dye it, Sarah. Frank Shue wills his little used Geography book to the person who was hunting for Europe in Cabarrus County. The “King of the Carnival,” Mike York, feels as if he would like to leave that distinction to handsome “Fluff” Grimes. Frank Dennis leaves his yen for tattered magazines to J. C. McDonald, hoping at the same time that he will glue them together again. “I’ll leave my vamping ability to Grady Wilhelm,” says Grier Horton, “But you’d better leave my girl friend alone.” Ruth Bost wills that ill-oiled typewriter to Duwan Johnston if he is willing to grease it soon. Minnie Parker has nothing to say, and leaves it to Pearl Whitman. The friendship of Mary Seymour and Mary Shuffler is respectfully left to Juanita Thomas and Sarah Suddeth. Edith Wyatt wishes that her lady-like manners be practiced always by Dorothy Davis. Evelyn Shue wants someone to do a good job with her Bookkeeping Course. Miss Neely is requested to help in this respect. That brand-new English book that was never opened, not in a whole solitary year, is willed Andy the Dickersonn by Hoyt Moose. I, Ruth Park, having all-in-all nothing special to offer, leave for China Grove High School and you, my dear friends, best wishes for a happy, successful future. —RUTH PARK, Testator. 1939 Page Eighteen
