Last AAll and Testament We, the class of 1923, being about to pass out of this sphere of edu¬ cation, in full possession of a crammed mind, well-trained memory, and almost superhuman understanding, do make and publish this, our last will and testament, hereby revoking and making void all former wills or promises by us at any time heretofore made or perhaps, carelessly spoken, one to another, as the thoughtless wish of an idle hour. Item I. We do will and bequeath to Mr. Brent some of the olive oil, that the Senior boys use, which we sincerely hope he will use to keep down his fluffy hair. Item II. We do will and bequeath to Professor T. G. Pullen, Jr., a handsomely covered book, entitled, “Give Me Your Attention, Please,” which we know he will care for with the greatest reverence. Item 111. We do will and bequeath to Miss Kitty Hope the balance left in our treasury to buy the following parts to repair her Ford: four wheels and tires, one steering gear, two headlights, one tail light, one top and curtains, one windshield, one horn, brake, clutch and self¬ starter. These accessories, we judge are all that are needed. Item IV. We do will and bequeath to the faculty, who have been our instructors in all the wisdom of the ages, sweet and unbroken suc¬ cession of restful nights and peaceful dreams. No longer need they lie awake to worry over the uncertainty of whether Ernest Monroe is doing his Spanish or whether Ed. Handy is flirting with Margaret Clark in Miss Wicker’s class, or even the thought of not having corrected those Senior papers. Also to our beloved faculty, we leave all the amazing knowledge and startling information that we have furnished from time to time in our exam, papers. We have imparted to them much that must have been entirely new to them. They are hereby authorized to give out such information as they may feel the world is ready to receive. We also leave to them a mirror which they might hang between the portraits of Lee and Jackson and as they look into the mirror say, “Ah, there are three great characters.” Item V. We do will and bequeath to the Pioneer all the events of our lives, past, present and future, with, all the wonders, sensations, hair-breadth escapes, as well as the deserved notoriety and fame, trust¬ ing- they may furnish plenty of material for news items and brilliant editorials for ages to come. Item VI. AVe will and bequeath to the citizens of Hampton living between the school and Piter’s, several new fences and a box of grass seed, also our appreciations for the use of the fence for leaning purposes. 27
