We have no time for frowns and tears, We have no time for sighs and fears, For much of joy in life we find Even though many friends we leave behind. Now the time is drawing near For us to say, goodbye To our friends so dear, but We will keep remembering Dear Old Lexington High. By--Opalene Craig Class -tPoet Sponsored by GARVIN WITT Florence, Alabama LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the Senior Class of Lexington High School, State of Alabama, in the year of 1954, being of sound mind and a generous disposition, do hereby make and publish this, our last will and testament, all wills other than this to be considered null and void. To our principal, Mr. Bailey, we leave the echoes of our voices about class rings which are sure to re- main, and five packs of BC’s to ease other pains we've caused. To our janitor, who has patiently kept our school clean in spite of our carelessness, we wish to leave our deepest gratitude. We also, leave all cigarette butts, and coco-cola tops which no doubt have missed the waste paper can. To our teachers, who have been so understanding during the past years, we hope that they have a more sympathetic class next year. A class who will have their home work ready to hand in on the right day. To the Junior Class, we leave the following; our half worn sidewalks, our squeaky stairways, our carved desks, our air-conditioned walls, our brooms that need to be put into use. And all our extra money that we no longer need. To the same class, we will all the honors and privileges which we think we can do without. We. Bonnie Hammonds and Faye Holden, will our love for each other to Jean Holley and Jean Jones. I, Opalene Craig, leave my studious ways to June Dean. I, Judith Nix, leave my blushes to Cherie Howard provided they are returned when necessary. We, Dean Jones and Barbara Allen, leave our pettish ways to Marsell Barnett and Shelby Hill. I, Edna Shook, leave my ways of rough playing in basketball games to Bonnie Beavers, and Sarah Cody. Better handle that ball careful, girls. We, Sue Hill and Jane Killen, leave our ability to go steady with tall, dark, and handsome boys to Ruble Davis and Allene Forsythe. We, Harold Ritter, Morris Bradley, and Gerald Campbell, leave our witty ways to Garlon Hill, Carlton Gamer, Morris Glover, H. L. Davis and Edwin Howard. I, Billy Jones, leave my ability to be one of the high point men in basketball to anyone that can be lucky enough. I, David Joiner, leave my courteous way to Gerald Peck. I, Edward Smitherman, leave my bashful ways to Buford Hammond. We, Mack Tidwell and Alton King, leave our ability to sing, whether in tune or not to Kenneth Beavers and Horace Tate. I, Bonne tha Davis, leave my place in the library to Shirley Roden and Ruth Turpen. Keep the file straight, girls. We, Virginia Roberson, Yvonne Jones, Mary Brumley, and Evelyn Newton, will our ability to get married and still continue school to Lenora Williams. Don’t give up, it's not to hard. I, Betty Jean Hill, leave my popularity secret to Joyce Ann Porter, providing it goes no further. We, Gayther Cottles, Loyd Cox, and Harold Wiley leave our quiet ways to Bonald Green, Arnold Hara- way, and Eudene Hendrix. We, Doris Anne Michael and Nell Roberson, leave our friendly ways to Barbara Hammond. We, Nell .Steen, Sue Weldon and Nina East, leave our shy ways to Marie Springer. We, Ruth Putman and Joy Rea Ritter, leave our ability to pass a test without studying to Faye Wilson and Joyce East. We, Faye Newton, Leota Ridgeway and Joan Smith leave our desire to break boys hearts to Phyllis Jaynes. I, Jimmie Lou Shelton, leave my dignified ways to Martha Tidwell. I, Barbara Pumam, leave my ability to receive watches to Edith Wright. We, TheoMashburn and Vernon Jones, leave our ways with the girls to Billy Ray Howard, Billy Dean and Glen Fulks. I, Alfred Williams, leave my neat ways to Waylon Truitt, James McGee, Gerald Putman, Charles Turpen, and Tommy Cox. I, Billy Neal Hammond, leave my method of fast driving to school, because I'm so anxious to get there, to David White, Levon Trousdale, Donald Putman and J. V. Balch. Class Testator Faye Holden PROPHECY Well, home at last. As I reach into my bag for the front door key to my little home here on the out- skirts of Lexington, I look over to the school and see a group of white-gowned girls and boys on the front steps and I know that they are the 1974 Seniors. They remind me of the many pleasant and expected surprises I re- ceived on my life-long, dreamed-of travels at home and abroad. Surprises that brought back memories of my Senior year at Lexington High in 1954. And here are my cat companions to meet me at the door, Tabby and Pussy-boots. Oh, I see Doris Ann has been over and made a fire for us. I really will have to go over and tell her about seeing her old school buddy Sue Weldon and about her asking me if Doris Ann was still a Michael or if she even married that cute boy from Anderson she always pined after. She'll be glad to know that Sue is now ticket girl at Grand Central Station in New York and she will probably be as amused as I was when she hears that the Campbell-Joiner Fued is still going strong. Gerald never did want David to outdo him in anything. I heard while in New York that David (famous undertaker) was going to jump over Niagra Falls on Monday and Gerald (famous commedian) was going over on Tuesday. I didn't get to stay for Gerald's jump because I had to catch a boat in New York. IleftNewYorkonaboatheadedforEnglandandl had a pleasant surprise or two while I was on the boat. I naturally had sea-sickness and when I called for some medicine to releave my-self, lo and behold, who should bring it to me but Billy Jones and he was still talking about why Lexington didn't win any football games the year he was captain. I thought sure he would go further than steward on an ocean liner. He also brought me an invitation to dine at the. captain's table. I was excitedly surprised,until I saw the signatures at the bottom and than I was more surprised. The captain and his wife were Billy Neal Hammond and Nell Steen Hammond. When I got to England I had quite a time getting through the customs bureau but with the help of an old friend, Harold Ritter,: who was a member of the American counsel there, I finally got through. I found a nice abode and then I set out to find a guide and I was very surprised when he told me the. Queen of England was having a hard time choosing a secretary. The two in the running were two of my old classmates Dean Jones and Barbara Allen. After a brief stay in England I went on to Paris, France. There I think was two of my biggest surprises. I found three of my classmates in an entirely different element than I would have ever dreamed for them. Leota Ridgeway and Faye Holden Bradly I found dancing in a Paris chorus line and Faye's husband Morris was the M.C. While 1 was in France I met another surprise, believe me, you know Edna Shook was always talking about somepin differunt , well she finally got it. She and some French girl are married to a Siamese twin. I decided that after these shocks 1 would return to America for a while. After I got back to N.Y. I decided to go to the U.S. Capital and who should I read about when I got there but Joy Rea Ritter and Edward Smitherman leaving for Luxenboug. Edward as Ambassador of Friendship and Joy Rea as his social secretary. While I was in Washington I visited congress and found two of our congressmen, Alfred Williams and Alton King debating on the prohibition of the legal sale of liquor. Alton wanted the liquor sales and Alfred was against it. Things sure have got turned around since we were back in Lexington. The second lady president of the U.S., Faye Newton seemed very amused at the debate and so did several newswomen seated in the Congress Press Hall. They were Bonnie Hammond and Betty Jean Hill., They worked for the newspaper King and his wife, Harold Wiley and Jimmie Shelton Wiley. I decided to go across Country to California because I wanted to see Hollywood. Thr first person I saw that great romantic star (sigh) Loyd Cox. I talked to him and he said his favorite leading lady was Mary Brum- ley. I bet she really had to talk to get her husband to let her leave home. I always did love Pa and Ma Kettle movies and who should be Ma and Pa Kettle in the movies I saw being made, under the direction of Judith Nix, but Theo Mashburn and Nell Robinson Mashbum. By this time I was kinda getting tired of famous people and so I started back South. The next place for me was Texas. I found quite a few of my classmates here in Texas and even one of my teachers. I learned that Gladys Springer and her husband had come to Texas and that Mrs. Springer's companion was Virginia Ro- berson and Mr. Oates was trying t'o find something for that lazy husband of hers to do. Virginia told me that the boy we voted most studious of our class, Vernon Jones, is now president of a large college in New Mexico and his wife Bonnetha Davis Jones is Professor of Home Economics. I was really glad to meet an old buddy Mack Tidwell in Texas too. He invited me out to his ranch to meet Nellie and I was expecting a sweetfaced young woman and, Tabby, 'can you imagine my surprise when he introduced me to Nellie and she was a bucking bronco? He was very proud of her. He said Ruth Putman broke her in for him and that she was the best bronco- buster around. I used to dream of seeing the Kentucky Derby and so I decided to stop there going back home. Who do you think I should find as a jockey in the race but Nina East. While I was watching the race a distinguished couple sat down in front of me and later they were introduced as the President of the Horse Racing Society and his wife. I was really surprised when I found out that his wife used to be Sue Hill one of the friendliest girls in our class. While I was on the train after I left Kentucky I was reading the out-of-states news and I saw a picture of a Hula-Hula dancer from Hawaii who was having trouble deciding on a husband. It was none other than Opalene Craig. I think she finally decided to let her nine prospects draw straws. We had train trouble back in a lot of hills or rather we were stopped. It seems that there was a fued going on between the Gayther Cottles s (Myra Jane Killen Cottles) and the Willis Newtons (Evelyn Newton.) Evelyn made her henpecked husband report Gayther’s and Jane’s moonshine still to the revenue officer and the women were fightin' it out. We finally got to Nashville and the funniest thing happened to me. I discovered that my cousin Joan Smith had married the son of Cousin Louie Buck, of the Grand Ole Opry, and all her children were boys. But the funny thing was they named them in this peculiar order Jessie, Lee, Hugh, and one just plain ole Bill. Cousin Louie's son washer fourth husband and they said before she married him she supported her boys in Nash- ville and who should be trying to attract attention as the Fatest Lady but Yvonne Jones. I guess the old saying, It's a small world, is certainly true. All my classmates seem to be doing fairly well so I will just resign myself to my spinsterhood and live with my cats hoping to hear from all of the 54 graduates again.
