LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the Senior Class of 1942, will soon walk out of China Grove High School. All through the past year it has been hard to realize that we are Seniors; but, in looking back, we can say that we’ve enjoyed everything. As has been the custom, the Seniors will some of their most prized belongings to those who will soon be where we are now. To our parents we say, Many thanks for making it possible for us to receive a high school education.” To our principal, Mr. Bivens, we heartily give thanks for his guidance which has aided the development of our character and our education. To our faculty, we say, Thank you for all the hard hours you’ve spent in teaching us”. We leave our appreciation to our faculty advisers, Miss Neely and Mr. Holt. The following are our small gifts, not only to the Juniors, but to all future graduates of China Grove High School. We hope that the example we have set will be one that you will enjoy following and making better. Margie Cress wills her blond hair to Dorothy Gentle, provided she doesn’t bleach it.

To Frank Eller and Hubert Benson, Raymond Kirk and Odell Moose leave their very close friendship. Ray Mault leaves his ability to tease the girls to Hubert Johnston.

We realize our life has just begun And know that our battles must be fought and won.

As we travel life’s road we’ll never forget What our parents, teachers, and friends to us have meant.
