DOROTHY SHELLEY-G. R.g Up and Atom ELVIN VLIET- PRESTON GARCIA-National Honor Society: Basketball GLADYS P01-'F-G. R.: Pep Club + + + Senjor Will We, the Senior Class of 1938, being of sound mind, do hereby endow and bequeath the following as our last will and testament: To the underclassmen we leave our vast stores of knowledge, conceit and self- confidence, our lordly ways, and ability to get by with fewer unexcuses. With a sigh we leave the hills to the school as a whole, taking only memories with us. We recommend an automatic maker-outer for detained slips be given to Miss Jones so she will always greet the students with a smile. Carol Johns and Barbara Pyle loudly request that their quiet and backward ways be bestowed upon Marcia Hurt, Charlotte Lewis, and Winifred Donnellan. Winnie Jones as her last contribution to dear old E. H. S. leaves her artistry to the future publicity chairman of the G. R. Walter McCreary and Floyd Sprague sadly give up their princely ways and their manly physiques to the care of Beef Walker and Oris Armstrong to be used on the grid- iron in the defense of the Red and Black. Vivian Morley shyly makes known her' desire that her winsome smile be left to Phyllis Hughes, as it will go well with her freckles. Harry Wilson stretchingly bequeaths his exaggerated ideas to one who can distort them half so well but doubts if anyone is as capable. Roberta Alspaw relinquishes Bob Goodwin to the care of Coach Smith to do with him what he can. Louis Uht resigns his task of sports writer to any Junior who likes to work. Lloyd Morse and Mary jeane Lewis pass on leaving only memories. Glenn Freeburne surrenders his curly locks to all future Lochnivars of Emporia High School. Allen Smith is glad to be able to leave anybody anything so he cheerfully wills Bettyanne Atherton to any worthy underclassman. June Archer vacates her office as G. R. president to be filled by any one with plenty of leadership and ability. QCOn!inuc'd 011 Page 253 E211
