Four happy years we've all toiled here In walls that hold remembrance dear, And now, our last few fond hours bring Sweet mem'ries back to which we cling. Our high school education through, We'll take a reminiscent view, And roll time back to our first year- Perhaps our course you'd like to hear. Then we, as Freshmen, meek and shy, Wander 'round with roving eye. At first, incredulous we were At all the busy buzz and stir. The Freshman year was short and sweet, We even learned to be discreet. The Seniors teased us much in fun, But even their respect we won. The Freshman 'fbaby carriage dropt, More dignity we did adopt. And then, as Sophomores we tried To make our narrow minds more wide. That year was very happy, too, Advancements many, failures few. We wouldn't have appeared so fine, But over 'tFreshies we could shine. As Juniors we forgot that pride As quickly through our books we plied. That year our efforts we all lent, For Senior heights our heads we bent. The height of our ambitions came When we arrived at Senior fame. With all the teachers we made friends, And thus accomplished wondrous ends. And now we patiently await That which tends to compensate Us for our patience in those things- The pleasure the diploma brings. Oh, Alma Mater, Classmates, All- We hate to leave this loved hall, But wish each one a like success, And a long, long life to A. H. S. l28l

jfzhruarp Qlllass will E, the February Class of 1922, being of feeble mind and of weak intellect, fear- ing that the trials and tribulations of graduation be too much for our crammed craniums, and in order that the memory of our class may be kept as green as we are, do make, publish, and declare this our last will and testament. First. To the several members of the faculty We bequeath the following: 1. To Mr. Hutchins-An underground passage between the office and the stage to be used when going to chapel to prevent his being mobbed by the legion of O.K. seekers. 2. To Mrs. Hoffman-A rocking chair and periscope for use in the corridor while on the look- out for locker-openers. 3. To Miss Johns-Several gallons of gasoline at seventy-five cents per for use in collecting stage properties in West Asheville. 4. To Miss Stratton-Wireless connections with all members of the future HILLBILLY staff for use in case of emergency. 5. To Mr. Hyatt-A season's pass to the Imperial with the provision that it may be used by Dorothy Jordan, Patricia Edgeworth, and Gertrude Tennant during their hours of Diver- sion. 6. To Miss Moody-A brand-new Ford to re- place Ye old family surrey hitched in the back yard. 7. To Mr. Bigham-Mr. Ropp's book entitled Why Girls Fall for Me. 8.

To each member of the Senior High School- A clothespin to be worn on nose while passing the laboratory, immediately following an experiment with sulphur. 2. To Frances Nichols-A simplified copy of Mother Goose Rhymesl' to keep her quiet while big sister entertains her beau. 3. To Elizabeth Pille-Gertrude Tennant's gift for gab with the exception of, I tremble to think of it. 4. To Rosamond McCanless-Joe Cantwell's permanent wave. 5. To all 8A's-A place in the rear for parking Kiddie Kars. 6. To Ezra Wellins-Elizabeth Cobbls com- plexion. 7. To Ruby Evans-Addie Wilson's hair pins. 8. To Conn Bryan-Franklin Kilpatrick's wild way with the women. 9. To Dorothy Nichols-A portable pencil sharpener. Lastly.

We, Dorothy Jordan and julia Blauvelt, being mentally deficient and in our wrong minds, affix hereto our sign and seal this the Brst day of April in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and twenty-two. We do solemnly testify this to be the first, last, and only will of the February Class of 1922. fSignedJ DoRorHY JORDAN, JULIA BLAUVELT.
