Sec. 14. To Frances Taft and Mary Thomas we leave Maggie Whichard ' s loquacity. May this added quality help these timid lasses to make their way in the social world. Sec. 15. To George Hadley and Robert Little we bequeath the right to enter the class in American History and, Hke Helen Critcher, to be lulled to sleep while Mack Brown and AUce Fulford wax eloquent over the Webster-Hayne debate. Sec. 16. To Mary Andrews we bequeath Argent Quinnerly ' s flirtatious man- ner — she will find it very helpful. Sec. 17. Of course, we have an unhmited store of talents still in reserve. We have bestowed where we saw greatest need, but if anyone, feehng the need, will come to us, we doubt not that we have just what he shall ask for. This Will and Testament has been duly and properly drawn up by the Class Lawyer and the hands and heels of the Class of 1920 placed thereunto. Lawyer of Class of 1920.

Sec. 1. To the aspiring Junior Class we leave our class room. Well has it held out against an onslaught of chalk and erasers, and if they fail in prosecuting the plan of keeping it clean, then Mr. Rose can offer them a few saws on the sub- ject. To the worthy class also we leave our good friend Cupid, who has played such an important role in our school work. Sec. 2. To the treat-em-rough Sophomores we leave our fondest memories and the desire that they may some day become seniors and able to vie with such as we. Sec. 3. To the timid Babes in the Wood we leave the memory of our record and the hope that three more years may work wonders and make them the best class (but one) ever graduated from a High School. Sec. 4- To the Glee Club we beciueath the voices of Dewey Brooks, Gherman Taylor and J. T. Corey. With these additions this organization can be touched by no chorus of voices in the United States — yea, we feel safe to say, in the whole world. Sec. 5. To the Basket Ball teams — boys and girls — we bestow as many victories as they desire over Wilmington and Belhaven, respectively. Sec. 6. To Richard WiUiams we bestow William White ' s position as center on the Basket Ball team. We feel sure his height will give him an advantage not enjoyed by the retiring center. Sec. 7. To Mary Little we leave Emma Mallison ' s quahty of being quiet and demure; to Aleene Critcher the love of literature and the studious habits possessed by her sister Helen. May the good work continue in the family. Sec. 8. As a good omen, we leave to Marcellus Fleming, Charles Lewis ' ability to pronounce French. Sec. 9. To Anna Long we leave a pair of invisible wings by which Margaret Fleming has always managed to get to school ahead of all her classmates. Sec. 10. To Miss Idol we leave all the Latin books in the U. S. May she have more worthy users of them in the future. Sec. 11. It is our desire that Joe Norman will possess the same amount of chic as Joe Parkerson. Sec. 12. To our beloved classroom teacher, Miss Mial, we leave all the future tardies of the school. They will l)e safe and receive just treatment in her hands. Sec. 13. To Miss Hinton we leave a new edition of Muzzy ' s American History in the hope that she will have no more problems to fight out in class.

0m Jfuture As I left my home in Washington, D. C, in June, 1935, to spend the summer in Cahfornia, little did I dream that ' ere I returned I should hear of all my old classmates of G. H. S. In Los Angeles news of most of them came to me. One day while at my hotel 1 saw in the paper that the music pupils of Miss Maggie Whichard were to give a concert at the Conservatory. Afterwards I went around to see Maggie and she begged me to leave the hotel and spend the time w ith her at her new bungalow. A few days later as we were resting in hammocks placed under the tall oaks after a game of tennis, we started discussing our schoolmates of good old G. H. S. Margaret, please tell me of some of our schoolmates. You Hve in the east where most of them Rve and I know you see them more than I do. I ' ll be glad to tell you for I saw most of them on my trip. Mary Harding, like myself, lives in Washington. She is North Carohna ' s representative in Con- gress. I knew she would do something great. I saw Emily, too. She graduated at Randolph-Macon and now she is teacher of history there. Don ' t you remember how brilliant she used to be on history class, always making a ' one ' ? One day while I was in Chicago, I saw Argent Quinnerly. She finished her domestic science course at Drexell and now she is teaching at Pratt Domestic Science Institute. You know she always made ' one ' on domestic science. Maggie, just guess what Pattie Smith is doing. Why, she is a promising young nurse up in western North CaroHna. Everyone is crazy about her. Margaret, that is quite a surprise. I did not think that Pattie would be a nurse, but you know you never can tell. She is a wonderful old girl anyway. Please tell me something else about the class. Well, I picked up the New York Times before I left home and saw that Reid Gaskins, President of the Curtis Publishing Company and the fond father of seven children, was to sail for Italy in September to spend the winter. While I was stopping in Louisville, Kentucky, whom should I see but Alice Fulford. She is married to a prominent young tobacco buyer of that city. She
