[ 97 ] cJ ait an d Jeitament We, the Senior Class of Lexington High School, Lexington, Alabama, the year nineteen hun- dred fifty-eight, being of sound mind and a very generous disposition, do hereby make and publish our last will and testament, all other wills to be considered null and void. We bequeath; Section I. Collection Gifts Article I To the faculty we leave the heartwarming thought that at last they are rid of us. W'e consider this to be enough within itself, but as a small token of our love, we also leave another gift-the class of ’59. Article II. To the Freshmen Class we leave our wisdom after having completed four years of high school and our own knowledge of our brilliance. Article III. To the Sophomore Class we leave our carefully selected, very valuable collection of excuses for getting out of classes and late homework. We hope you will use them sparingly and make sure that they don’t fall into the wrong hands. Article IV. To the Junior Class we leave the dignity and feeling of superiority, plus the head- aches and worries (over term papers perhaps) that go with being a Senior. There are also many rewards and we know you’ll love it. Section II. Individual Gifts. We, Rose McGuire and Joyce Howard leave our blushes to Violet F.ast and Cretha Hammond, provided we can have them back when necessary. I, Edwin Cobb leave my little sister for Cloyd 'ihigpen to bop with. I, Ruby Nell Nolen leave my love for Physical Education to Carolyn Glover, Nancy Apple- garth and Janice White. I, Delbert Truitt bequeath my library caro ’ to Raymond Scott. I, Shirley McCain leave my love for tail boys to Cherry Sue Shelton although she is not lack- ing in this quality. Glenda Barnett leaves the senior dignity’’ that she has kept so well hidden, to Peggy Thig- pen. I, Jacky Ray leave my good grades to Rita Walton and Frances Roden, who would love to get them.
