Metuor Ambitions HE Senior ambitions as you will see, Are better than you’d ever think them to be, And though we’re called lazy by tradition, Nevertheless, we have ambition. Gladys Knight, whom all girls adore, Wants to rise just six feet from the floor. While Lucile Todd, that sweet little lassie, Doesn’t care what happens, just so she can pass. And William Osborne, quite modest and sedate, Wants to get up courage to ask for a date. George McNatt says he’s on the right route, By inventing a chewing gum that won’t wear out. Gerald McCutcheon, that Virgil “kid”, Aims to break some woman’s heart, as Aeneas did. Earl Buford is a bright laddie, too, But still he is planning to join the zoo. But all give attention to Lina B., She’s going to vamp a sailor and live on the sea. And Leo Wright whose dreams always soar, Wants to do all this, and then some more. I wish that the hands of the clock didn’t move, ’Cause, there’s one thing I wanted to prove; It’s this: Don’t believe all you hear; We’re the most ambitious class in many a year! 19 OE Page Twenty-Six 27

 Our Last IDill and Testament WE, THE SENIOR CLASS OF BRADLEY SCHOOL, of the County of Madison and the State of Alabama, being indisputably of sound and disposing mind and mem- ory and about to pass out of existence, do make, publish and declare this to be our last will and testament, hereby revoking any and all former wills by us: First: We bequeath to our esteemed Principal, E. F. DuBose, all the fear, admira- tion, reverence, awe, respect, in which we hold him; when we are gone, distribute said fear, admiration, reverence, awe, and respect among the incoming Freshmen, in order that said incoming Freshmen may comfort themselves with becoming conduct in his presence, as we have always endeavored to do. Secondly: We give back and return to our beloved teachers all the advice, infor- mation, reproofs and demerits which shall at the time of our departure from the afore- mentioned High School be in, upon or about our minds and memories, feeling that any- thing so fully and abundantly given away as said advice and information, reproof and demerits of said teachers must be of trifling value and not worth retaining in our minds and memories when we depart. Thirdly: We give and bequeath to the Juniors of Bradley High School, our Senior decorum, privileges, polished manners, together with the unquestioning servitude of the faculty and student-body alike, that they may occupy our seats in our session room, with our beloved teacher, Mrs. J. B. Clopton, with the gravity nad impressiveness be- fitting our successors. Fourthly: To the Sophomores we give the advice to stay on the school grounds. Fifthly: To Lucile McGee we bequeath Leo Wright’s curly locks that she may not be bothered with the nightly rolls. To William Childress we will George McNatt’s seriousness and earnestness. Sixthly: To every girl graduate the Senior girls devise the handsomest man in seven states. To every boy we, the Senior boys, devise our great skill in basketball. Seventhly: All the rest, residue and remainder of our estate, real, personal and mixed, we give and bequeath to Mr. Cummings, absolutely and forever, in grateful recognition and past favors, to-wit: The removal of telltales of chewing gum, una- voidably deposited in places that caused some slight inconvenience to fellow students; frequent application 'of “Old Dutch” to the door knobs that sticky Freshman fingers contaminated. We make, constitute and appoint our beloved teacher and coach, Mrs. J. B. Clop- ton and Mr. L. H. Knight, to be executrix and executor of this our last will and testa- ment. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, we have hereunto subscribed our names and affixed our seals this the ..... day of May, 1927. « % SENIORS OF BRADLEY HIGH SCHOOL. Page Twenty-Five
