ft It Ft Fo CLUB) The Grcenbank High School Glee Club is one of the school’s oldest organizations. Through the years members of every class have joined the group. The purpose of this group is twofold: to find pleasure in singing and give pleasure to those who listen. The list of the Glee Club’s activities grows each year with numerous appearances at school assemblies, civic affairs and church services. Each sprirg this group furnishes music for the Commencement and Baccalaureate programs and presents its annual Spring Concert during Comm encement week. The 1946-47 Glee Club is the largest thus far with an enrollment of 40. On April 2, 3 and 4 the Club presented a two-act opeietta entitled “And It Rained.” This was the first high school operetta in several years and was well received.

PARKER—Father BILL—17-year-old Son of the Parkers KOB—Friend of Bill’s GEORGE—Unlikeable Villain of the Town MARK—Missionary's Almost Perfect Son The play “China Boy’’ sums up the life of the Paikcrs, an average American family, in the most exciting and laughable ways. Living has its ups and downs till the Parkers' nephew from China comes to live with them, then for awhile things go smoothly. When Mark, their nephew from China decides to be “a bad boy,” with the help of Lula Mae, their trouble begins. Mark causes Selma to lose several votes in a popularity contest, ticket money from a football game is stolen and Mark claims to have burned it, and Middlesboro loses the football game because Bob fails to “fully com- prehend” the powers of Wong Tu Long’s “Fruit-Action.” Full of excitement, the play ends well.

I O R 6 t A E, the Senior Class of 1947, after due consideration of our many attri- butes and effects which should be passed down to our underclassmen and teachers that they might be'retained in our Alma Mater, do hereby, make and affirm this, our last will and testament, declaring all previous wills null and void. SECTION 1 Unanimously, we have agreed to give and bequeath to our esteemed Faculty our heartfelt thanks and appreciation for helping prepare us in school for our journey in life. To the members individ- ually we leave the following: ITEM 1. To MR. HARRIS, our honorable principal, we leave all inscriptions which he may find on the desks, and a copy of “The Economical Method of Saving.” ITEM 2. To MR. BLACKHURST, our class sponsor, we bequeath our absence, which we know will be more inspiring than our presence. ITEM 3. To MRS. JENKINS, we leave all the wasted typing paper which is the outcome of her Typing II Class, on which she can practice writing “A’s.” ITEM 4. To MRS. COYNER, we donate a “Disciplinary Rod” for use in her Freshman classes. ITEM 5. To MISS BROWN, we leave a World History Book, a gross of pencils, and a ream of paper for use in another year of teaching. ITEM 6. To MR. RILEY we leave a basket-ball bladder, and a book on how to shoot quadratic circles from the floor. ITEM 7. To MISS SMITH we will a pot of glue, a rubber stamp, and a supply of books so she will feel at home next summer. ITEM 8. To MISS JOHNSON we give our entire consent for practice on any of our two pianos with hopes that a “Boogie” Man won’t molest her while playing. ITEM 9. To MISS POST we will a can of beans and a can-opener which may come in handy sometimes. ITEM 10. To MR. SMITH we will three ears of seed corn wrhich we hope will provide roasting ears this summer. ITEM 11. To MR. HILL we leave a bottle of hydrochloric acid and the following poem: Once there was a chemist Took a tube of lime, Put it in a beaker, Added salty brine. A student said, “There’s danger. Be careful wfhat you do.” “Nonsense!” said the chemist. Set it on to brew. Added sulphuric acid, A gram of manganese, Fried a slice of bacon, Poured in all the grease, Stirred the whole together, Dipped some for a test, Out of all his labors— What an awful mess! SECTION II ITEM 1. To the dear JUNIORS, our successors, we leave all privileges which we merited by our good behavior, and we give you the position of being in the good graces of the faculty which we obtained by long and faithful studies. ITEM 2. To the SOPHOMORES, we bequeath all our pleasing characteristics which we hope will be put to good use. ITEM 3. To the green FRESHMEN, we will a higher rung in the ladder of education which must be assumed with determination, else this clause is void. SECTION III ITEM 1. To MR. TAYLOR, our janitor, we will all knowledge found in the waste baskets dur- ing examinations. ITEM 2. To the BUS DRIVERS, we bequeath any small articles which they find in the buses after school is out.
