Class Hill We, the class of 1957, of the L. P. Jackson High School do hereby make and declare our last will and testament, in form and manner as follows: To the entire school, we leave the example we have set as worthy scholars and blameless students. Our record has been spotless and in all the annals of our career we have done no deed, as a class that we need blush for. To the Junior class we bestow our richest treasures, our senior dignity, our excelling wit, our superlative brilliancy, our charming manners, our good looks, our favor with the teachers, our splendid grades and our tri- umphant exit as the most popular class this school has ever seen. These are the rare treasures that we hand down to the coming senior class, but it would not be fair if we withheld other valuables. With great largeness of heart we pass them along too. Our capacity for fun, our ability to giggle, our good times, and our friendship and loy- alty to fellow classmates, we do hereby bequeath to the Junior class, and may they count them among the rich- est of the legacies they have received. AVIS BAILEY leaves her technique to tame the opposite sex to Carrie Stringfield, hoping Carrie will have an escort for the prom next year. LILLIAN BAILEY leaves her popularity to Marian Anderson. Now Marian will be more popular without .Tying so hard. RUBY BAILEY leaves her glamour to Clara Johnson. Won ' t she be something? VIVIAN BR OWN leaves her trim figure to Mildred Langhorn. FRANCES FLOWERS leaves her courteousness to Louise Blizzard. Louise being as courteous as she is and with the amount Frances is leaving, she will be the most courteous in her class next year. DFALIE ANN WHITE leaves her nearness to Edna Hardy, hoping Edna will consider this in her senior year. CLARA GRAY leaves her ability to sing to Ora Cypress, with hopes Ora will be leader in the chorus next year. FLOREASE HARDY leaves her attractiveness to Marion Anderson, hoping Marian will make good use of it at all times. EDITH JACKSON leaves her nice ways to Edith Claiborne, hoping Edith will have more friends next year. ANNIE JAMISON leaves her slowness to Barbara Poole, now maybe Barbara ' s classmates can keep up with her. CARRIE JONES leaves her friendly smile to Ora Cypress, Carrie thinks maybe it will help her to accom- plish her goal. LORRAINE JOHNSON .leaves some of her height to Clara Johnson, then Clara won ' t have to change desks in typing class everyday. SHIRLEY MASON leaves her old-fashioned ways to Loretta Kelly. Loretta has been ahead of the times through high school. RUTH THOMAS leaves her dignity to Mildred Langhorn. Maybe Mildred will pick her feet up when she walks during her senior year. GERALDINE WALLER leaves her talkative ability to Elaine Jenkins. Maybe Elaine will have more to say in her senior year. JOSEPHINE SPRATLEY leaves her ability to get along with people to Edith Clairborne, hoping, in her senior year Marian and Ora won ' t be her only friends. JAMES BROWN leaves his ability to filibuster to Richard Brown, hoping it will help him pass Government next year. GRAFFIE EDLER leaves his quietness to Quincy Edler. Graffie thinks maybe next year Quincy should keep noise according to his size. WILLIE FIELDS leaves his ability to lead the class to Richard Brown, hoping Richard won ' t tty to duck any class meetings next year. DOUGLAS GILCHRIST leaves his masculine build to Wesley Gilliam. Maybe then Wesley can attract more girls. ROYAD GILCHRIST leaves his ability to jive girls in the lower classes to Curtis Luster; With the jiving Curtis does now and that Royad leaves him, all the 8th, 9th, and 10th grade girls had better look out! SHERLOCK HOLMES leaves his ability to do fine work to Timothy Pierce. Maybe next year Timothy won ' t have to take make-up work. PAUL HOWELL leaves his ability to make friends to Wesley Gilliam, hoping that next year Wesley won’t have to always go around alone. WILFRED LAMB leaves his bachelor ways to Bolden Thomas. Wilfred thinks maybe Bolden will do better work then. RAYMOND PARSON leaves some of his weight to Quincy Edler, because Quincy certainly could use some if he plans to play football next year. SIMON SAVEDGE leaves his ability to make two-points to Curtis Luster; probably next year Curtis will be able to do more than just go along with the rest of the team. HENRY YOUNG leaves his ability to dance to Timothy Pierce, with hopes that Timothy won ' t have to be called a Wallflower at the prom next year. JUDIETH ELLIS leaves her graceful ways to Elizabeth Bailey, with the hope that she will accept them and use them in the spirit they are given. In witness whereof, we attach the signatures of the class. Written by Carrie E. Jones
