Last Will and Testament We, the senior class of Endy High School, being in as good 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. We give and bequeath to the junior class our well-known nerve as they try to to get ads for the annual of 57, because they will need it now and in all the following years. We also leave to them all the examination questions we have been given during the past year. We believe that an examination, like history, often repeats itself. The answers have long since been mislaid by us and are not included in the legacy. To our good friend, the sophomores, we leave our patience and hope. It will be found useful as a very good means by which they can live with and love the juniors. To the young and unsophisticated freshmen, we leave the hope that they may all fool the teachers and pass in all subjects so that they may all become seniors . Now, to each member of the junior class each of us leaves something. To Lynn Almond and Judy Burleson, Linda Benner wills her ability to get along with other people, hoping they can get along with other people as Linda has. To Larry Burris, Larry Hathcock wills his ability to play basketball. To Lucille Coley and Joyce Whitley, Ruby Dick wills her ability to play basketball. To Lynda Cree, Rosina Efird, and Carolyn Lowder, Joyce Huneycutt wills her ability to date boys from Ridgecrest. To Joe Efird, Gene Speights wills his ability to get along with girls, hoping he gets along as well as Gene has. To Janice Furr and Jeanette Wise, Helen Whitley wills her ability to get married. To Becky Hathcock, Linda Benner wills her ability to sing, hoping she is as succesful as Linda. To Patsy Hatley and Peggy Lambert, Joyce Efird wills her ability to make high grades. To Collen Dick and Ruby Furr, Josephine Eudy wills her ability to whisper in class and not get caught. To Shelbia Goss, Helen Whitley wills her ability to get things done in a hurry. To Bill Hatley, Coy Thompson wills his ability to talk himself out of trouble. To Conrad Herrin, Max Morton and Ervin Fesperman will their ability to play baseball. To James Howell, Ondrie Efird wills his ability to hit people from behind. To Larry Jones, Edd Lambert wills his quiet spirit and patience. To Dean Lambert, Junior Bowers wills his ability to get caught for speeding hoping he has better luck than Junior. To Gene Lambert, Buddie Poplin wills his ability to date girls from Albemarle High School. To Harold McSwain, Pete Haward wills his ability to speak French. To Harold Poplin, Mikey Morgan leaves his old cigarette butts and a map showing where to find them. To Marvin Rogers, Laverne Davis wills his ability to try to out smart the teachers, hoping he will succeed. R. E. Sigmon, Executor Gene Speights, Testator

Prophecy As I was walkng down the cobblestone streets in Paris, France, in the summer of 1966, you ' d never guess whom I saw. So many of my classmates of 1955-56. There in one of Paris ' s newest fashion shops was Josephine Eudy, a model. You should have seen that beautiful wedding dress she was modeling! Had I been in the market for a wedding dress, I could not have resisted the temptation to purchase this lovely one. Also in the same shop Linda Benner was arranging Ruby Dick ' s hair in the very latest style. Linda liked hair styling. She had become very famous, so famous, in fact, that you had to get an appointment two months ahead of time. Her shop was known as Linda ' s Beauty Salon . I asked Ruby what she was doing in Paris, and she said she was a secretary for Smith and Roberts, the publishers of French Book L No wonder she had to look tops at all times. On my way out I met Joyce Ann Huneycutt. She was doing very well; she was going to school studying to become a French cook in Cafe Marguery in Paris. Joyce ' s specialities were French pastries. She invited me over to her apartment so that I could have a sample and were they good! As I passed a billboard flashing in the window, it read, Learn to Dance the French Dances — Teacher — Joyce Efird. She was doing very well for herself. She was always good at such things. I dropped in to see Joyce, and she told me that many of our old friends we are among her students. I visited the art gallery while I was in France and there all over the walls were paintings by Mikey Morgan and Laverne Davis. Mikey had really gone in for modern art, while Laverne stuck more to the traditional. I was on the outside again and who should pass me by in the very latest Chev- rolet but Ondrie Efird. He was a very fabulous used car dealer, specializing in American made cars. Coy Tompson bought his ' 66 model from Ondrie. He was owner of two per- fume factories in Paris, France. It was rumored that Coy had become so successful that he had run Lanvin and Guerlain out of busines . Edd Lambert was head of Coy ' s factories and was making himself plenty of money. He was doing pretty well for Coy, too. Buddie Poplin owned a soda shop and made delicious sodas; his most famous was a pepsi sundae. Junior Bowers made jazz records and Buddie ' s juke box was full of them. They had always enjoyed doing Sixteen Tons in class, and it appeared still to be their favorite. Pete Harward was a French professeur at the Sorbonne. In talking to Pete about his work in France, I found out that he had recently returned to the States and had seen many of our classmates. He told me that Larry Hathcock had become a football instructor in the Naval Academy at Annapolis and his top aide on the coaching staff was our old friend Gene Speights-Larry ' s team had beaten Army for the last five years. Pete had also seen Max Morton who was a contractor for a big building organization owned by Ervin Fesperman. Together they were planning a skyscraper for Albemarle on the top of which would be a landing field for helicopters. I enjoyed my vacation in Paris very, very much. I heard a lot about it by our former French teacher of 1953-54-55, Mrs. Frank Hartsell. She accompanied me on my vacation in France. I thing she enjoyed the French cooking best of all. by Helen Whitley
