Class Will We, the seniors of Hebbardsville High School, realizing that our days in this institution are drawing to an end, and being of fairly sound mind (after these long, twelve years) do will and bequeath these, our dearest possessions to our teachers and under classmen. I, Pansy Hazelwood, do will and bequeath my bashful ways and tidy manners to Laura Williams. I, Carolyn Gates, do will and bequeath my calm attitude toward boys to Thelma Hazelwood. I, Mildred Bennett, do will and bequeath my love for beautiful dresses to Martha Galloway. I, Robert Claycomb, do will and bequeath my studious and dignified ways to Buddy Newman. I, Charles Smith, do will and bequeath my quiet ways to Ronald Goldsberry. I, Raymond Howard, do will and bequeath my quietness and good manners to Jimmy Boswell. I, Edward Hazelwood, do will and bequeath my short , blond, stubby hair and heavy beard to Ernest Wilson. To the juniors, we do will our dignified seats on the right side of the auditorium, hoping that they will occupy them more fully. To Miss Grant, we do will and bequeath a new, large typing room that is well heated and lighted. To Mrs. Babb, we do will and bequeath a new set of Pilgrims' Progess, because a new set will surely be needed in another two years. To Miss Henn, we do will and bequeath a well equipped home economics room. To Miss Briscoe, we do will and bequeath a new set of history books so that she may instruct the students in the future. To Mr. Paff, we do will and bequeath a sound-proof band room and a worry- proof skin to meet his many music problems. To Mr. Riddle, we do will and bequeath an even better basketball team next year-- with at least two 6 foot 10 inch players. To Mr. Lindenberg, our principal, we do will and bequeath a large, modern, well-equipped office, and an efficient secretary. We do hereby solemnly affirm to the best of our knowledge and belief that this is the last will and testament of the Senior Class of Hebbardsville High School -- 1950- 12

Class Motto The Word American Ends With “I Can.” Flower Talisman Rose Colors Green and White Class Poem To the old school house, we ride each morn. And jump off the bus at the toot of the horn. We go to the study hall and take our seats. Then to home room, and classes we meet. We go to classes, and argue much. For we are just naturally a contrary bunch. We have class meetings and fight them out. And “Professor” runs us off, with a fruffy shout. Talk about us, we’re truly tough. All our teachers, they’re just a bluff. They preach, they yell, they huff, and get mad. While we just sit there looking sad. When we get out of school this year, It may sound funny but we'll shed a tear. It makes no difference how bad we get. We find a place for sadness yet. Our old school days are almost o’er. To Hebbardsville High, we'll come no more. We’ve set our hearts on some other goal. For day by day,, we are growing old. We know not what our future will be, We may go to college, and get a degree. Though our class is small, you'll admit we’re nifty. Never forget us--The Class Of 1950. 11

Prophecy I have kept a diary for the past several years about what has happened to the members of the class that was graduated in 1950 from Hebbardsville High School. Now, glancing over the well - filled pages, I find that each member is almost permanently settled for life. Here is an item dated June 1954, is the announcement of Mildred Bennett's wedding. It seems that Mildred did not use her training to be an airline stewardess after all. The only time she nears the airport now is when she goes out with her husband to fuel up . According to the entries in my diary, Carolyn Gates, after finishing her business course at Lockyear’s Business College in May, 1951, has been managing the Illinois Brokerage Company. Although now, Carolyn’s parents announced her engagement on June 1954, to a New York designer. Robert Claycomb was graduated in 1960 with his Ph. D. degree. He has been increasing his knowledge for the last several years, but has now accepted a position as a faculty member at Harvard University. Edward Hazelwood is now at the University of Kentucky in the Agriculture Department. He completed his schooling there in 1954, and has since been employed to do research work. Charles Smith is in Wisconsin, employed as a game warden. It seems, according to the pages in my diary, that he left on August 17, 1951, on a hunting and fishing trip and has never returned. One of the most thriving businesses in Henderson County is operated by Raymond Howard. My diary relates that Raymond set up his own coal company in October, 1952, and since then has monopolized the coal business. As for myself, I was graduated from college in 1953. I immediately accepted a position and for the last eight years have been employed as a stenographer for two well - know lawyers in Indianapolis. 13
