SENIOR WILL OF ’39 We. the Seniors of Eunice High School in the County of Lea and State of New Mexico, Spinsters and Cents, in perfect health and memory (praise be), do make and ordain this our list will and testament, in manner and form following, that is to say: FIRST: We commend our ambitious selves into the hands of Life, our ultimate destiny, hoping and assuredly believing, through the stresses and struggles thereof, to add unto ourselves success, affluence, happiness and fame ever lasting. SECONDLY: We bequeath to our beloved and esteemed Superintendent, C. H. Conway, admiration, respect and friendship; we recommend that he be as considerate and fair with forthcoming freshmen, sophomores, and juniors as he has been with us; lastly, the enduring love of each of the classes. THIRDLY: We give to our true friend and advisor, Carl Crutchfield, our heartfelt thanks, for his assistance, companionship, understanding, and our unused credits to be given to those needy seniors who may follow us. FOURTHLY: We bequeath to all freshmen, sophomores, and juniors a succession of teachers who have not forgotten the days of their own incarceration in school and are lenient accordingly in small matters of punctuality, whispering, mumbling due to the mumbler's oral cavity being full of something other than words and dentals, day dreaming, irrelevant levity in the midst of prosy discussions on pythagoras and ancients of his ilk, total or partial lack of intelligence, illegibility and inattention. FIFTHLY: We give and bequeath to the incumbent Juniors of Eunice High School, entailed to their rightful successors, absolutely and forever, our seats in Session room XI. SIXTHLY: We give and bequeath to the incumbent Sophomores of Eunice High School any and all retiring, quiet, unobtrusive, modest and supine characteristics that may possibly (but improbably) remain to us under our present vainglorious exterior, remembering, though with difficulty, the quiescent state of the Juniors, who have neither the mirth-provoking verdancy of the Freshmen nor the blatant sophistication of the Sophomores nor yet the scintillating supremacy of the Seniors, the said Juniors being only, merely, nothing but and simply Juniors. We make and constitute this benevolent bequest that said incumbent Sophomores may fill the aforementioned Juniors’ seats next year with becoming passivity. SEVENTHLY: We give and bequeath to the infant freshmen one stick of red and white peppermint candy, to be unwrapped and broken by Mr. U. C. Montgomery, a teacher known to be the champion ever of the oppressive, into as many portions as there are freshmen and to distribute among them to assuage, mollify, appease, mitigate, pacify and alleviate their aforestated tortures, torments, ridicule and humiliations at the hands of the then sophomores. EIGHTHLY: We give and bequeath to our esteemed sponsors, Mrs. Bob Green and Mr. U. G. Montgomery, all the fear, admiration, reverence, awe, respect, and deference, in which we hold them that they may, when we are gone, distribute said fear, admiration, reverence, awe, respect and deference impartially among the incoming freshmen. To Patsy Dean Wallace, Jessie Baker leaves her ability to pester the teachers. Oma Bray wills her ability to get her man to Mary Margaret Carpenter. To Mildred Gaultney, Norma Miles wills her ability to paint place cards for Junior-Senior banquet next year. To Evalyn Eppler, Geane Drury leaves her gift of gab. (Continued on page 107) [ 24 1
