LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the Senior Class of Nineteen Hundred and Fifty-Three, of Hookerton High School, in the county of Greene, the state of North Carolina, being sound in mind and realizing that the time is drawing near when we shall never darken these halls again, do hereby declare and make this our last will and testament. Article I To the undergraduates: To the Junior Class we leave the title of Seniors in hopes that they will fill the shoes with more dig- nity than we. To the Juniors, we leave the job of issuing the two great publications: The Hookerton Spirit and the Ho-Hi Echoes. To the Sophomores and Freshman: We leave our hopes that before long they will occupy the position that we now occupy. Article II To our principal and teachers, we leave our deepest appreciation for their efforts toward increasing our wisdom. Article III We, the Seniors, as individuals bequeath the following: I, J. C. Clark will my good times at Senior play practice to Bill Shackelford. I, Harold Blomberg will my wittiness to Jimmy Ray Creech. I, Mercel Stallings will my artistic ability to Franklin Jones, in hopes that he will use his talents for the future publications of the Hookerton Spirit. I, Harold Jones will my desk in the English room to anyone who can find it. I, Nancy Harrison do will my quiet ways to Bobby Daniels. I, Virginia Miller will my excess weight to be divided between Della Ann Morris and Patricia Mitchell. I, Sara Phillips will my enjoyment for reading novels to Barbara Ann Clemmons. I, Cuneta Speight will my ability to blush to Rachel Williams. I, Edna Whitfield leave my position as Editor of the Hookerton Spirit to any oncoming Senior. I, Mary Ellen Williams leave my love for Basketball and my suit number 2 to Linda Pittman. I, Shirley Williams will my position as chauffeur to anyone who is capable. I, Jean Harvey Edwards will my blank expression to Linda Jones. We hereby appoint Miss Garrington, our class advisor, as sole executor of this, our last will and testament. In witness whereof, we the Senior Class of 1953, do set seal of this, the nineteenth day of May, in the year of our Lord, Nineteen Hundred and Fifty-Three. Jean Harvey Edwards Testator CLASS PROPHECY As I am sitting here, gazing through the beams from the moon on which I sit, sifting stardust through my fingers, I see several glitters; there must be at least eleven of them. Are they stars? No, as the haze clears and I adjust my eyes to the brightness of the dots, I realize they could be none other than the members of the Senior Class of 1953. As I look straight forward I see Harold Blomberg, who is giving Oscar Levant, the great pianist, some real competition. Just opposite I see J.C. Clark just rolling in dough and is Eastern Carolina ' s greatest tobacco farmer. He just bought his son a new Cadillac. Over in blue Hawaii Isee an army officer, Harold Jones, I believe it is. After receiving his commission from the R. O.T.C., he chose the army as his life time career, worked hard and is now a Four Star General . In Eastern North Carolina, Mercel Stallings is now owner of the once Shackelford ' s Store, and has taken up artistry as a hobby. We see on Fifth Avenue in New York, none other than Jean Harvey Edwards now a Powers Model, who is rapidly climbing the ladder of fame. In Memorial General Hospital I see two outstanding figures dressed in white uniforms, walking briskly down the hall. They are none other than Nancy Harrison and Virginia Miller, now Superintendent and Assistant Superintendent of Nurses, respect- ively. In Snow Hill vicinity I see Cuneta Speight. She ' s married and keeping house. At the present she has two little red-headed boys. OutWest I see Edna Whitfield, who having finished a two-year course at East Carolina College, is now happily married and is the mother of triplets. I ' ve always heard they do things in a big way out West and now I believe it. . Mary Ellen Williams, having received a degree in Secretarial Science from East Carolina College, held an office job for two years and then decided that the degree she preferred was a MRS. Shirley Williams also received a degree from East Carolina College and is working as secretary at Barrus Construction Com- pany and at the present she can ' t make up her mind between Mr. Barrus and his son. Suddenly the stars slide back into the haze and I come bock to reality. It is only twelve hours before I must report to the studio for the shooting of my third consecutive movie lead for MGM.
