75a ' 'Will We the dignified seniors of the class of '50, being of sound mind but weary bodies do here, now and forever bequeath, consecrate, and dedicate this will of humorous, per- haps pathetic pestilence to our successors-The class of '51, As a grateful senior class we pledge to Mr. Judd, the entire faculty and our own Alma Mater our undying loyalty through the years. We leave to them the junior class and a silent prayer that they can keep our memory green. After careful consideration-and much nail biting and confusion-we the seniors bequeath the following possessions: To Ramona Bacle, Kittye Pardue leaves all her headaches and cramped fingers acquired while she loyally compiled The Dragon. To Ann Hale, our junior tempest in a teapot, Freddie Boughton leaves the lump in her throat she usually finds when she makes a report in class. Thad Busbice, aware of Charles Middleton's eye that can identify good form bequeathes to him his talent for drawing perfect figures. To Mable Lee Adams, Dorothy Butler leaves her ability to carry on a good argument, hop- ing she will not allow her temper to keep pace with her crowning glory in case of defeat. To jerry Lou Hagar, Ruby Hunter leaves all the twinkle and the secret of the rolling eyes. Eugene Johnston just leaves Nancy Faye Holdiness until she finishes school. Nell McDonald, the senior with the vocabulary with oomph. leaves it to Fred Sweetman who is just the guy who can use it with that brogue he has. jackie Meadors, our champion of the debating group, leaves his talent to Kenneth Brad- shaw who seems a little shy. johnny Moore, our best all-round boy leaves this title to two possible contenders: Calvin Free and E. Lee Strickland. May the best man win. Norma Murry leaves her shorthand note book to Virginia Henry, she is sure some of the magic is left inside. Claude Myers, who can fix anything, leaves the title, Handy Man, to joe Matheny.
