LAST WILL AND STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA, McDOWELL COUNTY, TOWN OF MARION Knowing full well that we are approaching the end of our High School career, and realizing that our vast and val- uable possessions may lead to bitter contention among those who aspire to be our heirs, our Last Will and Testament is this day drawn up and stated as follows: The largest and most important of our belongings is advice, and not wishing to be partial to our heirs, we leave equal shares to the Juniors, the Sophomores, and the Freshmen. Our advice is to keep ever before them the shining example of the illustrious class of '-17. Of course, in the very nature of things, no succeeding class can ever come up to ours in achievement, but let them all aim at our enviable record. Let our successors as Emerson advises, Hitch their wagon to a star. We will be their star and they need only supply the wagon. To the School Board we bequeath our sincere thanks for their interest in our educations. To Mr. Beam we leave our undying gratitude and thanks for making our school days pleasant, as well as educational. To our Teochers we leave our sincere thanks for all they have done for us. Also our deepest sympathy for the loss they have suffered through our departure. We grieve for you O'Teachers, when we think of your having to teach these present Juniors, next year's Seniors, who may be foolish enough to imagine themselves capable of walking in our footsteps. To the School we leave the valuable suggestion that the desks we have used be put into one room, which shall 24- I a'-' 1 become a museum of precious relics, for posterity to gaze upon with awe and reverence. Strangers will, in future, no doubt, visit this museum, at a small admission price of 25 cents, which would bring in ample funds to pay for all the buildings that will be added to the Marion School System in coming years. In addition to these general bequests, there are only a few personal ones we will mention here: 'I, Betty Tyler, leave my wit to June Carrigan. I, lawrence Atkins, leave my musical ability to Billy Wayne Suttle. I, Paul Ross, leave my ability to say the right thing at the wrong time to Jimmy Robb. We, Jeannette Broome and Goldie Cooper, leave our lasting friendship to Margaret Curtis and Betty Jo Creasy.
