Senior Class Will We, the seniors of nineteen hundred and fifty-five being of improved and weary mind as a result of four years of arduous search for the golden nuggets of wisdom, now in spirit of magnominity do hereby bestow upon those who are left to mourn our loss, the following bequest.

C. on my flying saucer when I looked down and saw the president of the United States. The president in the year of 1983, was Mr. John Robert Stroud. I flew on through Washington and New York. I visited the Stork Club, and who did I find singing and dancing, but my old classmate Geneva Henderson. I went from there to Houston, Texas, whom did I find playing football in a World Series Game, but Isaac Hammond. I decided to take a rest after that so I went to the City Drive Inn Cafe and whom do you think I found as waitress and owner, but Bonnie Rackley. The next morning I went for a ride out in the country. I visited a big ranch, it was the Lazy Z Ranch. Who did I find as owner but Patsy Ramsey. She said she was happily married and was enjoying herself as a ranch owner and wife. From there I went to Hollywood. Whom do youthink I found making an appearance ? It was Norma Reynolds. They are all expecting her to make Betty Grable, Marilyn Monroe and Betty Davis appear dull compared to her beauty. While I was out West I stopped at the Bar -Nothing Rodeo and found Bettye Lois McCoy and her husband taking in the sights. I found out later that she had until lately, been a bulldogging contestent, but had given it up for a more lady like profession of hunting a husband. When I ask her if she had any luck she said no, she caught one. For some reason, I don't think she's satisfied. She kept telling about the ones that got away. I had seen all my classmates by this time, so I went back to good old Jerusalem tired, but also very happy after seeing all my friends 11 PP ' 99 Class History In the year of 1943-44, we started to school here to Mrs, Laudie Wilson in the first grade.
