“1954 Class Will” My friends, I have called you to assemble here as a solemn duty that you, the heirs and assigns of my respected client, the class of 1954, may hear her last will and testament which, as her legal advisor, I drew as directed by her immediately prior to her passing from our presence. It was her intention and would have been her great pleasure to present you personally with these tokens of her esteem, but finding her possessions were even more extensive and valuable than she had thought, it was impossible. Because of this, if any slight discrepancies or apparent injustices or partialities should appear to you in the distribution of the effects, we trust you will pardon it and realize it was caused not by exhaustion of her brain, never over-robust. I shall appreciate your courteous attention while I disclose this duly attested will. We, the class of 1954, in the town of Lynchburg, and the state of Virginia, being in as good a mental condition as usual, do hereby make this, our last will and testament, rendering void and of no avail any former will or wills that may have been previously made by us during a period of temporary optimism. Although, being as psychologically complex as befits a senior class, we consist of separate and distinct entities. And in this manner do we dispose of our possessions: Mildred Coles bequeaths her small hips to Yvonne Jones. Oh! What a gift. Yvonne Andrews.wills her quietness.to Shirley Turner. Nice of her, isn’t it? Elizabeth Stone gives her position on the Majorette Squad to Dorothy Gentry. A’very.good position, Dorothy. Gladys Tweedy leaves her quietness to Shirley Grey. Barbara Pannell bestows her cuteness upon Ruth Nowlin. . Janette’ Lee wills her height, to Bertha Payne. Lelia Smith bequeaths her beautiful hands to Evelyn Miller, and Selena Green gives her hair style to Dorothy Carter. Wayland Mitchell bestows his position on the Student Council to George Harris. Stanley Smith bestows his height on Beverly Anderson. Susie Kimbrough gives her eyes to Mil- dred Jenerson. Emmie Greene wills her.position on the Chorus to Joyce Haskins. Beverly Sorrell relinquishes his.position as tackle on the football team to Norvell Jackson. Tom Evans wills his track ability to. James Allen. Helen Camm leaves her position as ‘Miss Dunbar’’»to“Loretta McCory. Elaine Thornhill wills her coolness to Gloria Scott. Alvalaz Hale bestows her eyes on Carol Jean Brown. Collene Anderson wills her sweetheart, Hayes Banks, to Joyce Haskins: DeLois Mosley leaves Mickey to Alice Franklin for one semester, she says. Shirley Claxton bequeaths her posi- tion as editor-in-chief of the Chronicle to Samuel Franklin. Last but not least, to our principal and teachers, we give and bequeath a sense of relief that we have at last graduated, pleasant memories of our five years together, and a feeling of pride in any great deeds or noteworthy achievements that our future may contain, realizing that such glories— if any—will be as a result of their example and counsel.
