(SLs ( Will We, the Senior Class of Graham High School, regretting we must leave our teachers and fellow students, wish to dispose of our valuable possessions in the following manner, making all previous wills null and void. To our beloved sponsors, Mrs. Louise Wetzel and Mrs. Kathleen Damron, we wish to leave our appreciation for their never ending patience and their cooperation in making our Senior year a memorable one. To our principal, Mr. T. M. Gillespie, we give our deepest sympathy in hopes that he will be able to continue his struggle in helping the future seniors. As we realize we have tried his patience we also wish to leave him twelve dozen boxes of aspirins. To the faculty, we leave the memory of our noisy, tiring, and up-setting days, as we know there were many. To the present Juniors and future Seniors, we leave our ability to skip school and not get by with it. We, the Senior Class, dispose of our possessions as follows: Jessie Collins thinks it it time for him to will his ability of getting along with girls from Beaver High and the privilege of loafing in Hankla ' s Pharmacy to Bill Scott. Bobby Cyphers definitely cannot will Joyce Lefler but would like to, to anyone who has the courage to face her temper. Reginald Ayers wills his ability to obtain A ' s on his report card to Charles Akers. Since Albert Baldwin has only a limited amount of time to make a will before losing everything owned to Sara Crabtree, he hastens to leave his masculine figure to Edward Welford Hogg better known as Piggy . Earl Bowling, doubting whether he will leave Graham because of English, or should we say Zelda, wishes to will all his love to Zelda. Jimmie Burkett wishes with all sincerity to leave his dates in Princeton and his way with the women to Bobby Tabor. Paul Burton wills his shy smile in the halls of good old G. H. S. to Bill Mitchell. Joe Coon leaves his drugstore manners to Gerald Grim. Orrin Davis leaves his old faithful truck and their enjoyable rides to Norma Farris. Charles Hale bequeaths his bashfulness toward the opposite sex to Fred Taylor and, having a share and a half, leaves Mack McGrady the left-overs as he doesn ' t need much anyway. William Potty Lawson, due to old age, wills his ability to travel to Boston to Montie Leffel.
