. THIRTY-EIGHT LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT E, the dignified members of Covington High School, the graduating class of the City of Covington and the Commonwealth of Virginia, in this year of?Our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and thirty-eight, being in good mental condition as usual and in much better temper than usual, do hereby write and publish this Last Will and Testament as a memoir to the faculty and the student body of C. H. S. in years to come. . Item I. To Captain Walter R. Curfman, our principal, we bequeath a sense of relief that we have at last been graduated, pleasant memories of our four years together, and a feeling of pride in any great deeds or noteworthy achievements that the future may disclose, realizing that such glories, if any, will reflect much of his fine example and counsel. Item II. To our superintendent, Mr. A. L.. Bennett, we leave the full supervision of the schools of Alleghany County, and all our powers of seeing through stone walls, in order to save the legatee from future serious disasterg and because it is evident that said legatee is expected by the community at large to possess this gift. if Item Ill. To the gentlemen of the school board, we leave a simple satisfaction that the controversy over the new school building in East Covington has been settled, we trust, satisfac- torily. ' Item IV. To the Senior class of next year, we bequeath our feeling of superiority, and well-known nerve which th will probably need next year. Item V. To the junio?class, we leave our good luck. It made us what we are today and it should satisfy them. Item VI. To our good friends, the Sophomores, we leave our patience. It will be found useful as the only means by which they can endure the juniors. Item VII. To the young and unsophisticated Freshmen, we leave a map of the school building their respective classrooms. ' Item V711. To Miss Maude Mahaney, we leave a Senior class which will perhaps shatter all previous records and have more than 95 per cent attendance for at least one month. Item IX. To Miss Helen Thomas, we do will and bequeath a Literature class which she may convince once and for all that Shakespeare's Hamlet is actually a tragedy, even though it may forever remain a mystery to some. Item X. To Mr. Allan Barnwell, we leave a Chemistry class which will be convinced that H20 and HOH are one and the same. Item Xl. To Coaches Carmack and Doyle, we leave a group of strong boys with the paramount idea of winning from Clifton Forge on Turkey Day. Item XII. To the football squad of next year, we do will and bequeath the privilege of gazing admiringly on the stately group of trophies won by our team this year. Item XIII. To Mr. George Lewis, our janitor, we leave an able assistant and a greater and more refined knowledge of international politics. Item XIV. To the Senior class president of next year, we leave full possession of our executive capacity which has been greatly admired and coveted. 29 Item XV. To Bobby Holloman we leave Pee Wee Sizer's athletic ability, providing he stays eligible. Item XVI. To Harold Keyt, No. l sucker of C. H. S., we leave Billy Coflman's good looks, which he can probably use. Item XVII. To Thelka Campbell, we do will and bequeath Jackie Sites' control over the stronger sex. Item XVIII. To Frank Gilbert, we Item XIX. To Fred Allison, we do Item XX. To Kress Meeks, we being late for school. V Item XXI. To Sonny Phillips, we for keeping the class in an uproar. Item XXII. To Harry Bunch we leave Carey Caldwell's continual inertia. Item XXIII. To Winstard Hicks, we leave Arlie Arritt's knack of getting to school every day and of getting there on time. Item XXIV. To our dear old school building itself, we leave the peaceful quiet, apple cores, wads of gum and crumpled notes which we may have left behind. ln witness whereof, we, the Class of 1938, the testators, have to this our Last Will and Testament, set our hand and seal this thirtieth day of May. FRANCIS FLINT, Class Testator 25 so that they may not get lost and wander aimlessly about in the halls, looking for leave Gilmer Wheeler's ability to please the girls. will and bequeath James Cousar's intellectual prow? leave Vilas Barbee's ability to formulate reasons or do will and bequeath Rosalie Albert's natural ability elif
