Thk 1939 Laurels Class Will Homer Wheeler wills a fight to anyone who tries to get Helen. Marjorie Smith leaves school with a dreamy look in her eyes—who could he be, Marjorie ? Leone Barker wills her library appeal to nobody—no one could get it if they tried. Art Albright and Glenn Roysdon really don't feel that there is anyone who can fill their places in the feminine hearts, but Delmer and Bernard are promises in that line. Geraldine Cook wills her steno pad to Virginia Freund with the hopes that Virginia makes better use of it than she did. Burdette Rash leaves his unique ability to sleep in class to Denny Goldsmith. Jean Wilson leaves the future hair styles to the keeping of some enterprising Junior with plenty of bobbie pins. Bob Freund leaves his beautiful appearance in a basketball suit to “Beans” Strending. Rosemary Speckeen leaves with tears in her eyes—oh, yeah ! Archie (Itchy) Derychere wills his “scratch” to Charles Brohaugh. Don’t scratch too hard, Chuck, you’ll wear it out. Marjorie Goldsmith leaves her air-mindedness to Lldora Dix, knowing she’ll make good use of it. Elroy McManus wills his gray hair to the teachers—they’ll have it in a few years anyway. Lorraine Allen leaves her hair to Lester Burke—don’t fret too much, Billy, it’s back in the family again. Erma Shay wills her turned-up nose to Billy Mote—it goes with her hair. Howard Pewitt, Sugarbeet for short, was so hashful we hunted for a week before we found what he wished to leave here—just Roberta Speare. Loretta Scgler wills her sneeze to Billec Rae—not meaning to interfere with Billee’s personal one. Elnora Stcnerson leaves her fearlessness of speaking her mind to the timid freshmen. Alex Gradwohl leaves his curly hair to Campbell Calvert hoping he will not need another permanent. Helene Roberts just laughed and laughed and laughed because she knew her laugh was the only thing worth while she had to leave. Esther Batt leaves her plumpness to Shirley Teeters, hoping it may add to her width if not her height. Billy Bray leaves Earl Herriott to plaj school-bus driver. Esther Lais hopes someone will be able to take her place in steno so Mr. Fellows won’t get gray hair before his time. Dolly Nelson, last but not least, leaves her position as president of Senior Class to anyone lucky enough to get it. We, the Class of ’39, make this our last Will and Testament. We will not accept the responsibility of any celebrity whose name is left out of this masterpiece. Signed and Sealed. CLASS OF ’39. Fourteen
