Lonnell Smith wishes to leave nothing. She wants to take everything with her. Judy Windsor wills her position as class attorney to any deserving and long-suffering senior. This includes the thankless task of helping some stingy seniors find something that they are willing away. The band members do bequeath all of their good times, their concerts, and the sleepless nights at band camp to the band members who follow them. Finally, we do hereby name and appoint as executers of this, our last will and testa- ment, the Senior II Class. In witness whereof, we, the class of 1955 have set our hand and seal on this 27th day of May 1955. Judy Windsor, Class Attorney Mr. G, L. Baxter, Principal Mrs. A.B. Windsor, Sponsor To the high school students of tomorrow we leave . . . . S sw Perlene - A who helps to keep our building clean Our biology classes with their interesting experiments. . . and hard work

Don Askew is training the cheerleaders. People come for miles just to see the cheer- leaders. Lonnell Smith is the typing teacher. In her high school days Nell was a speed demon on the typewriter. It was easy to tell that she'd want to teach typing. Evelyn Guy has taken Mrs. Windsor's place as senior sponsor and English teacher. Betty Womack is working as a dental technician. Robert Nowell owns a large farm near Cottonwood. Robert also believes in having two cars in the garage--a Cadillac and a Rolls Royce. Charles White and Franklin Brooks are working for the FBI. Sue Meadows is working in Washington D. C. Glenda Skipper is in Africa with her husband on a big game hunt. Finally our little chat ended and we had to part and go our separate ways again. My students and I returned to our hotel rooms. As I again sat alone in the room I heard a knock on the door. I opened it and my little pug-nosed girl stuck her head in and sighed, Gee, wasn't he just simply marvelous. Oh! Oh! Understanding, I smiled and pinched her cheek. Then she was gone. I turned toward my bed. All my friends were happy. Sleep would be peaceful.
