Last Will and 1 estament EALIZING that we are about to make our departure into the great un- known, we, the 1922 Senior Class of Greenville High School, do hereby declare the following to be our only original, incomplete, and last will and testament, and that the undersigned, holding the office of attorney of said class, does hereby declare the first party to this document absolutely devoid of wisdom, and physically incapable. To the second parties a majority of these flattering remarks may be addressed also. Therefore, having established a feeling of saneness about the parties concerned, we do hereby bequeath the following: Ariicle I. To all the inhabitants of our honored community we leave the memory of our existence during four long and tortuous years, and the happy memory of our departure. Article II. To the faculty and the superintendent we leave the care and anxiety of graduating the future Senicr classes, hoping that said classes will give less trouble than we did. Article III. To the coming Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors we leave the some- what dim hope that some day they may attain the austere and dignified position of A Senior. Article IV. To the coming Senior Class we leave our most honored room, all the Geometry books in the room, most of the French books, and last but dearest, the Senior privileges. These privileges are far too dear to state on paper, but we will present them to the officers of the class upon personal application. Article V, Section I. To Ella Fleming and Edward Moore we leave the com- passes of Marietta Sugg and Frank Patrick, in the hope that they may never more be engaged in bloody war. Section 2. To Willie Skinner we leave Janie Jackson ' s ability to read Latin. May this earn her a 1 every time. Section 3. To Zeno Brown we leave Dick Williams ' position as best looking in the Senior Class. Section 4. To Sally Jones we leave Joe Moye ' s dancing ability. Section 5. To Julius we leave the Greenville High School. Section 6. To every scholar in school we leave a portion of our knowledge in the hope that they may all graduate with as high honors as we have. Edwin M. Wilkerson, Attorney. Page lXDenly- x

Who, being filled with desire, begged entrance at the seat of learning marked with mysterious letters, G. H. S. 3. And when the door was opened unto them it was decreed that for four long years 4. A series of tests shoud be conducted to choose those worthy of receiving into their keeping Education. 5. And it was decreed that this period should be divided into four long step3 called Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior. 6. And it came to pass in the step Freshman that they were beset by the terrible monsters Latin and Algebra. 7. And there was loud wailing and lamentations. 8. And certain ones dropped by the wayside. 9. Then pleased it the step Sophomore to have them combat Germans with War Stamps. 1 0. Whereby many were lost. I 1 . And from thence the faithful few remaining were becet by the plagues. Influenza and French. 12. And many tarried behind. 1 3. Then came they to the step Senior, which is crowned with dignity. I 4. And it came to pass that Geometry lifted its head from the darkness, which is known by few. I 5. Notwithstanding having continued in the search for four years, 1 6. And having ranked high among the searchers after knowledge, 1 7. And with one accord having brought themselves with perfect conduct to the end, 18. Then pleased it the leaders, forasmuch as they had knowledge of all things, to dismiss them. 19. And lo! on the thirty-first of May, when they had gathered the multitude together, 20.
