LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT COOKE AND LEE Attorneys Attempting Law Know all men by these presents; that we, the Senior Class of 1947 of Greenville High School, in order to form a more use- less inscription, and being forced by our superiors to vacate our station, do here and now declare our last will and testa- ment in as brilliant a manner as may be expected of said Seniors. This Epistle may be a living testimonial of our remarkable minds and outstanding characters. PART I The following are gifts which we the high, mighty and exalted Senior Class do bestow collectively: 1. To the faculty we leave many beau- tiful memories of ourselves, which will set a shining exaniple of how not to conduct a class in the future. 2. To the Junior Class we leave the honor and privilege of walking in our es- teemed footsteps, and do caution them to speak silently and with reverence of their respectable predecessors. PART II The following are the individual gifts of the deceased Senior Class: I, Junius Rose, hereby leave my broth- er Donny to carry on the traditions of the Rose family, hoping that he won ' t get caught at it. I, John Mayo, leave my ability to keep my mouth shut at the right time, in the right classes, to Howard Proctor. I, Ann Beatty, leave my standard ex- cuse of getting out of class to the next editor of Green Lights. I, Betsy Fly, will my ability to walk up three flights of stairs with three dif- ferent boys and keep them all happy to Jimmy Parrish. We, Tommy Diener and Lewis Evans, turn the job of directing the school over to Mr. Dowd, as we now feel that he is capable of assuming such responsibility.

We, Dorothy Jean Edwards and Jean- ette Godley, leave our quietness to Berna- dine Balance, hoping she will take advan- tage of it. (She ' ll need it all).

I, Hogan Gaskins, leave my undying sympathy to Al Smith because of his fu- ture years in high school. I, Dennis Cooke, will to Eleanor Norris my daily apple, and the motto that goes with it.
