GLASS WIHLIL SHIRLEY BRIDGES - KATHLEEN CONNER On the 28th of May, we, the graduating class of 1948, would have our Last Will and Testament read before the final gathering of our class. Upon leaving our high and noble place we bequeath our astounding intelli- gence on all topics-other than school-to the faculty and Mr. Crane. To the Juniors we leave our dignified center aisle with all the gum wads, initials, and arrow-pierced hearts. Along with this generous gift goes our hope that the first row boys will have better luck with the cheerleaders and Two Bits. To the most lowly Sophomores we leave our giggles, corny jokes and studious intentions. And the Freshmen- fhmm?j-we give all the pity children deserve. Billy Anderson leaves to Henry Phillips part of his sister's care. Billy could never get out of staying in unless Doris jean could do some quick talking. Now Henry, she can do the same for you. Bettye Branch consents to bestow her absent-mindedness on Faye Stanfill. Emmett johnson leaves his ability to play a horn and to thrill Pat Rush to jack Goolsby. To Gay Jones goes Betty Cole's ability to sing sweet and high. Gay, with your breathing capacity, you should roll them off their feet. julian Floyd, after much persuasion, is leaving his art of never being in the right class at the right time to the most capable jimmy Ward. jimmy, surely you should outrun Miss Anna now. Upon the Sophomore girls as a whole goes joyce Crocker's natural beauty so that next year maybe the juniors can get to the mirror. Roger Teague leaves his wide-eyed looks on seeing Miss Williams' tests to Glenn Rainey. Geraldine Martindale leaves her brilliant brains to Sandra Brown. Sandra, let's see what you can do with brains. Billy Holcomb relinquishes to Robert Winston the ability to look at the book and the teacher at the same time. Geraldine Foster leaves her chattering in typing to Betty Sipes. To Arianna Thomason we commit Alta Harper's interest in nursing along with a complete book of instructions written by Alta herself. jean Parish leaves her friendly personality to Sara Wahl, who is by no means lacking in this line.
