Norman High School - Eagle Yearbook (Norman, AR)

Text from Pages 1 - 60 of the 1949 volume:

Not the briefest moment--yours or n'1ine-- Can ever come again --------- ---De La Mare Because our school days are happy days filled with pleasant mem- ories of our wonderful friends and because we want to hold them in our hearts forever, the pupils of the Norman High School have set these joyous events of the year 1948-'49 down in this book to be treasured in the days ahead. School days pass all too quickly and this book, with its pages of jolly incidents and lovely times we have enjoyed together, will be a bond of friendship and loyalty between us all that will become more precious to us with the passing years. We will feel closer to the ideals of our school and remember that The days that make us happy make us wise. This is the second year of the inauguration of a yearbook at the Norman High School and its publication has been made possible by our local and county businessmen. We appreciate their friendship and good will: be- cause we realize that without this deep interest of our patrons and friends, we would not be able to publish this record of our pleasant associations, but would have only Memory--that strange deceiverf Who can trust her? How believe her-- While she hoards with equal care The poor and trivial, rich and rare: Yet flings away, as wantonly, Grave fact and loveliest fantasy? ---De La Mare As you read our little book, we believe you will share our fondness for our beloved high school, our schoolmates, and our teachers who have been an inspiration to us through our school days. l 1 .

T.. . -gm , ,, HISTORY OF NORMAN HIGH SCHOOL Norman High School was formerly Caddo Valley Academy which was established in 1921 by the synod of Arkansas of the Presbyterian Church as a home mission school. Mr. G. G. Murphey was the first superintendent of the school and classes were held in what is now the Norman Grade School. Three years later the stone building which is now used for High School was completed and that became the center of higher education for Norman. There were boarding students, both boys and girls, in the Academy. Other pupils who wished to attend the school paid tuition. ,Dr, John T. Barr was put in charge of the Academy. His responsibility was to hire teachers and other workers: he also had to take care of admitting students to the dormitories. The first graduating class in 1923 consisted of three members. Other superintendents of the Academy were Mr. F. C. Purviance from 1922 to 1926 and Mr. E. U. Aston from 1926 to 1930, ln the year 1930 it was decided to have a consolidated high school in Norman. The Norman District leased the high school building from the Synod of Arkansas, with the understanding that Bible was to be taught in the school. The first superintendent of the Norman High School was Mr. E. O. Bennett, who served in that capacity from 1930 to 1938. During that time Home Economics was taught and most of the time Music and Dramatics were offered. A Voca- tional Agriculture building was added in 1933, and a course in Agriculture was taught most of the time until World War ll. At first the Home Economics classes were taught in the main building, but a cottage was later added and Miss Cloe Dell Reece is head of this department at the present time. The next superintendent was Mr. Weldon Tarver who served from l938to 1942: some commercial work was offered during this time. Mr. Tarver was followed by Mr Ode Maddox who left here after one year to become supermtend ent of Oden School , ln the year 1943 our present superintendent Mr W Harvey New took charge Because it was hard to get vocational teachers at that time Agriculture could not be offered for several years In fact, it was not until three years ago that the Agriculture Department could be offered again Mr Walter Parks is now Vocational Agriculture Instructor We also have a Veterans Agriculture Program The same commercial courses were agam possible in 1946 47 That department has been greatly strengthened by new equipment and this year Miss Faye Teague who is in charge of it has even added calculating to the curriculum It is still a difficult problem to find Music teachers For the past two years Mrs John T Barr has taught Music half a day and English the other half Mrs Freida Green teaches English for a half day also 5 s . J- Many improvements have been made in the past few years. This year the library has been strengthened and for the first time the books have been cata- logued, lettered, etc. Also, for the first time, we have a teacher librarian, Miss Eunice Byers. She has several able student assistants from among the Junior and Senior girls. Miss Byers also teaches Bible which is still a part of the curriculum, but not a required subject. For several years we have had a hot lunch program in the school, but it was 'not until the fall of 1947 that we had a building for that specific purpose. Mr. Fay Bohannon is principal and coach of our fine boys' basketball teams. The girls' basketball teams are coached by Mr. New. Our Science Department is under the capable direction of Mrs. Florence Sharpe. g The Norman Consolidated School District No. Z8 is now composed of the former Liberty, Gaston, Murphy, Rock Springs, Perrin, Sardis, Black Springs, Box, Head, and Sulphur School Districts and is thirty miles long, five miles wide, serving patrons in an area of one hundred fifty square miles. We maintain an Elementary School at Black Springs with two teachers and fifty -five pupils in the first. six grades. Another Elementary School is located at Norman with five teachers and one hundred seventy-eight pupils in the first six grades. All the pupils in the outlying sections in grades seven through twelveare transported to Norman in the four new busses owned by the District. The total enrollment at the High School is one hundred fifty -four with ten teachers. The Norman High School has a B rating from the State Department of Education and offers a total ofthirty-four credits. 6 -V-up--,Y --vw i i iv' gf V4-lun-mini -'-+- - -A -- A--in-1 ' --' --M- 5911.----J-vu ..., ..,,gg,,,,vlmm- - ,, .rn-WEN, ..,.. ---' v-, . ,-V I FACULTY FREIDA E.

W, an CLASS INVENTORY Fauntella Black Taken altogether as the one in body that we are supposed to be in spirit, we make up an individual of sufficient age to know a great deal, if he's ever going to begin to learn for he wouldbe two hundred and ninety -eight years oldg surely an age of wisdom and power and dignity, verging upon veneration. Our height is one hundred fifty -five feet and one inch tall which certainly raises us far enough up in the world to allow us to tower above our enemies, and look down upon the inferior undergraduates. You can see, too, what a heavy pro- poration we are by the fact that taken together, and even giving due considera- tion to Moze1le's dainty figure, we tip the scales at exactly twenty -one hundred ninety -three pounds. Someone has libelously hinted that this weight is the same, either with or without Mozelle, but we think this is hardly a fair accusa- tion, and we do not expect any of you to give it any consideration. Our hand is certainly large enough to get a good firm grasp upon the affairs of the world, as well as upon our own individual concerns, for we wear a hundred twenty-six and one -half glove. Our head is of sufficient capacity to hold even the vast amount of knowledge we have been cramming into it for the past four years, for we require a hat that measures three hundred seventy-six and a half. Some say this may be due to the swelled heads of some of the graduates but we pass this over in the silence we feel that it deserves And if we do not make the success in life that we desire and expect, it will surely not be because we can- not gam a foothold upon the world's battleground by way of our colossal under- standing for we wear a number one hundred and ten shoe CLASS HISTORY Occo Bobo Many years ago our forefathers mothers, aunts uncles and all of their neighbors met and had a big get-together ' They were discussing the weather politics their friends and so on when the subject of school came up Almost everyone was interested and the thought became amusing to them They had often heard of school as the story was passed down to them from generation to generation but they called it the three R s So here is what they decided They would build a big schoolhouse themselves and send their great grand children to school so they could become civilized That is exactly what they did and here is the story of the last four years of the Norman High School as we are going to tell you tonight On September 7 1945 there were thirty members in the Freshman Class boys and twenty one girls a very lively and happy class We chose Miss Eunice Byers for our sponsor who entertained us with several interesting activities through the year We journeyed off to the Narrows near Caddo Gap for our annual class picnic where I feel safe in saying we had a very nice time We attended a few movies along with our sponsor also Then it was time to put away our books for a little sunshine and needed rest However we lost some of 13 who started on their journey to the Land of Learning. We were a group of nine 27 -- 4 T f 1' a A me ' 9 t P r I f it e it 4 . Q- -T . , A,, ,, ., the members of our class. Lavelle Calahan, feeling school wasn't the place for him, took a flying trip to sunny California to seek wealth and happiness: Jerry Putman and Ioffrey Bates, thinking they had not learned enough that year, re- mained in the Freshman Class for another session. Frances Logan went on a short visit to Washington, but found she liked the place so much that she made her visit a nice long one. We haven't seen her since. Lorene Spradling didn't think school was the place for her, either, so she is still trying to find her , fortune in the middle of Norman. Early in September, 1946, our Superintendent, Mr. New, called the little band back for another term of school. This time we had thirty -two happy Sophomores enrolled and they were ready to put their best foot forward to make the most of an unfortunate situation. This year we had several interesting adventures with our sponsor, Mrs. Florence Sharp. We had lots of fun and studied very, ve ry ha rd thus setting a precedent in the Norman High School. We again went to the Narrows for our class picnic. Everybody enjoyed the day, especially the evening swim, Then we put away our books for another visit with home folks and friends. We had a lot to tell them and more to look forward to. During that summer we lost a few more of our little circle. Lorene Lawrence moved to Oden to further her education, but informs us that she still remembers her former classmates and teachers. Dessie Dunn and Wallace Elrod awoke one day in matrimony and flew to Detroit, Michigan for a long honeymoon. Edward Cooper moved to Illinois to attend school. Bill Ledbetter started traveling through the country and from all we know, he is still traveling. On September l, 1947, we again took up our books, pencils and tablets for another term of school. This year there were twenty-one members in the Junior Class, four boys and seventeen girls. We had enjoyed the vacation and holidays but were eager to meet again with each other in school. This year we sponsored and presented a play entitled People Are Funny , which we thought was well worthwhile. We invited the Seniors to a movie at the Malco Theater in Hot Springs. We also gave a reception in honor of the Seniors at the Town Hall. We went to Camp Albert Pike on our class picnic along with our sponsor, Mrs. Barr. We all had a rather pleasant day exploring the place. We then said good-bye and went away home for another visit with Mother and Dad. A few more of our little band left us to make their way out in the world. Lennie Lybrand moved over to Mt. Ida to finish her education there. Doris Thompson moved to Glenwood and we hear the wedding bells have rung for her. Jean Gaston, feeling school wasn't the place for her, married and is now living in Oden. Felix Love heard Uncle Sam calling and took up his place in the U. S. Army. He was a good student, but we are sure he is making a good soldier, also. Then on September 6, 1948, after a period of home visiting and vacationing, we again met on the old school grounds for the final victory, and elected Mr.New to be our sponsor. This year we have only seventeen in our class--three boys and fourteen girls, since Frances Thomspon strolled off to Mountain Pine to finish her schooling. We welcomed a new member to our tribe, Grace Large,from 14 nun-:vpn -rw, pn. . ,l ,. ,.n-.....nulu1rwn. ., ,. W.. ., ,. .qu-q,. .. . T, ., ,. .,.,,-, ,,,7g,, Texas whom we find to be just one of us. We sponsored a play in March, Our Gal Sa1 , which we thought to be very nice and which was well received by a large and appreciative audience. We were invited to a movie in Hot Springs by the Junior Class, also a banquet by the Juniors, which we enjoyed very much. We wish to extend our sincere gratitude to the lower grades coming up behind us. We have all worked together for what we felt was best. We have strived to learn what little we know today. It has been a long battle, but we can proudly stand and say we have won. This-is a happy, and sad time for all of us, because we can look back and see the happy days we have spent in Norman School. We shall always have sweet memories of the school, classmates, teachers, and our many, many friends. They have been a great help to us through these years. We bid them, each other, and all our many friends behind us, the best of luck--always. ' CLASS GRUNIBLER Robbins Harbour I can't understand why in the world Mr. New selected me to be the Class Grumbler. Maybe you are not aware of the fact, but I'm the most cheerful one in the class. Why couldn't he have chosen Ella? She is always grumbling-- nothing ever pleases her! Why didn't he pick Maxine--she never does smile! Here I go around with my voice raised in cheerful song. If it weren't for me, this old school building would be a dreary place. Folks are going to miss my happy songs when I'm gone. You have probably heard that life is a bed of roses: life may be a bed of roses sometimes and under some conditions, but there's always a thorn on the stem of every flower that is bound to prick hard: life may offer us many a huge doughnut, but there's sure to be a big hole in the center of each one. The one that I get will probable have an especially large hole in it, too. I'm here to tell you that there's a cloud behind every sunbeam. We look dreadfully wise and altogether charming to you tonight. Look us over while we are all spread out here so nicely and harmoniously for your inspection. But if you could just get one peep at us behind the scenes, you might form a quite different opinion from the admiring one you now hold. I believe in speaking the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. So you must not look for any whitewashed effects from me. As you know, a Senior is naturally very sensitive. His feelings are easily wounded, Why are the re people so brutally frank about telling him all his faults ? Why can't they talk about someone else? They could, you know, talk about the Sophomores or Freshmen. Those classes are made up of persons who are totally unable to feel anything when people make vicious remarks. Again a Sen- ior is recognized as a creature with lofty and wonderful dignity. Why, oh why, won't people respect it? The Juniors, we are sorry to say, are still unac- quainted with dignity in any form. 15 -s , ,f r M. 52Q'Q579'Nu f R, Q98 X This year seems hardest of all on us because we are Seniors. Even when we ordered our rings early, they were delayed about two months. Then some were too small and some too large, Nothing goes right for us. Then our pictures, five days late, were corny, silly, ugly and completely lifelike. Words just cou1dn't express our thoughts when we saw them. The weather has been against us, too. Because of losing the week from school when it rained so much, we had to change the date of graduation. Even our boys are scarce. We have only three in our class and Mrs.xBarr wou1dn't let the girls sit by us in English. Again we feel that we have more than ourhshare of bitter memories to carry with us from the ups and downs--but mostly downs of our high school career. When we were Freshmen, we lived in constant fear of every other class in school, but especially of our enemies, the heartless and unfeeling Sophomores. But when we were Sophomores ourselves, and naturally felt that it was our turn, the other classes all united to make us feel that ' We were neither man nor woman: We were neither brute nor human: We were Sophsf 16A ,- f ,,. ,.-,rx. . - -. Y .. CLASS EULOGY Mozelle Wats on Friends, teachers, undergraduates, give ear. I come to praise the Seniors, not inter them. The foolish things we do are kept in mind: Our worthwhile deeds, alas, too oft forgot! So be it not with Seniors. Their noble classmates Have told you that they we re ambitious, And so they were--a virture great, indeed-- And nobly did they realize their aim. Here, under leave of all their loving friends, Come I, the Senior Class, to eulogize. They have brought many honors to their school: The spoils of sport, of contest and debate: Their scholarship was high beyond compare. Their records are a wondrous legacy, Which they bequeath to you who follow them. Their every breath was loyal, and their hearts Beat warm and high with love for this, their school Their Alma Mater was a sacred flame On which they poured the incense of their souls. If you have tears, prepare to shed them now, For never more the Senior Class shall shed The radiance of their smiles upon your way: Their brief existence here is past and gone. The wide world beckons them to vict'ries new. And what a loss is ours, my classmates all! There you and I and all of us lose joy And sweet companionship and faithful friends. We must not weep but hide our sadness grave And meditate instead upon their charm. Their intellect, and all their gracious ways. Good friends, sweet friends, let me not stir you up To such a sudden flood of misery. They that have gone an inspiration high Have left to us: their memory shall stay And urge us on and up to better things, To climp ambition's height, to grasp the stars And follow humbly in their upward path. They were so fine, so wise, so honorable! No wrong they did, no thought unworthy dreamed, And theirs will be eternal, happy fame. I come not, friends, to steal away your hearts, I am no orator, as they all were, But, as you see, a simple student, who Loves well his friends and does them honor here. For I have neither wit, nor words, nor worth, Action, nor utterance, nor the power of speech 17 ink k 4 ,, ,, , ? 'X .Y-,.,, N. ,m'v,.,..-Y.,---Vvv,-..s,. -,., - Y. l, f....+uq..,-,w.....,. .,., W. ,. .-.Y H.. To stir your blood. I only speak right on. I tell you that which you yourselves do know: The virtues of the Senior Class, their deeds So noble, so unselfish, and so wise, And bid them speak for me: but were I they And they were I, there were an orator Would agitate your hearts and put a tongue In eve ry Senior glory, that should move The very stones to rise and weep for them. Moreover, they have left to you their place ln classroom and on campus walks so green Their private honors, their authority In hall and council: they have left them you And to your heirs forever--sacred trust To be by you in loving awe received! Revere their names and spread their fame abroad. Here was a class! When comes another such? OUR YESTERDAYS Floella Gaston Let us pass from these gray walls, Out into a world our very own: But may each step be a prayer, That no regrets be sown. Worlds yet unknown to traverse, While memories linger still: And fond recollections haunt our being, To make our dreams fulfill. To our parents lift the banner high, And speak no more of sacrifice: But only praise and commendation give, As for us, our dear parents paid the price. Each day for us a prayer was said, And our burdens and tasks made easier: As sleepless nights for us were spent, That our future courses be happier. To our teachers, a salute we give, For our tasks, with patience you have borne: - 'Y qmmwrnnmmyfq,-W--A,-wr s . -, ,,.,g.m-kv And spoke courage to our hearts when darkness enthroned, But mute to critics, as our lives you adorn. Now, we bid adieu to our yesterdays, As grief and sadness come to our heart: But may our path to those left behind, Be a beacon to them as weidepart. 18 W., ,,,, 4,. K, ,, , s. .-IL.-Y -Y . CLASS OPTIMIST Betty Louise Gill We feel that we are justified in saying that considering our numbers, our capacities for absorbing knowledge, and our ability to concentrate, along with our ability to placate the teachers, that we have made as good a record, academically, as could possibly be ex- pected of us. Our class has been honored from time to tixne, and these honors of different kinds have all been richly merited. Inez Reece has made almost straight A's for four years of high school. We are also happy to announce that Allene Stroope has not missed a day in attendance through the four years. Betty Gill, Ella Smalling, and Inez Reece started to school to gether in the first grade under the instruction of Mrs. Nora Clardy and have all pulled through together--a little the worse for wear, but in full possession of their mental faculties. We feel that as a matter of honesty we must admit to a high rating in point of beauty, agility of brains and bodies. Our inclination to study rather than have good times and our strict adherence to the rules have helped us to reach this goal. The influence exerted by this class upon under-classmenhas been, we are certain of the best, and we hope that they will copy our examples and study to make the best of grades, and have a perfect attendance, and we trust that they will feel lasting gratitude and appreciation in consequence. In looking back over the years we have spent in this favored environment, we would not change anything. Everything that has been is undoubtedly for the best. We may not always understand at the moment, but we realize that in these days of our student life a marvelous work has been wrought of rare beauty and perfection. We feel only tender- ness and regret in leaving, but those emotions in themselves are ennobling, and we would not have them changed for the wealth of the Indies. We will not say that ours has been the best class ever graduated, or that ever will be graduated, but we do believe that no class ever had, or ever will have dearer hearts, or deeper affection for their Alma Mater. ADVICE TO THE JUNIORS Louise Edwards It is time to haul down the flag and sign a treaty of peace. We are making our last bow on this particular stage. With clear conscience we depart, but with just a lingering shadow of doubt in our minds. An immense and tremendous duty is shortly to fall upon your shoulders. Straighten your chests, stand straight and tall for it will take all of your strength to support this marvelous new duty. As to what the new duty is--that I scarcely need to tell: but can you, the members of the Junior Class, take our places in the busy round of school activities? Can you render to our high school the loyalty and unfailing service that we yielded? I am glad, Juniors, to inform you that, in the opinion of the graduates, you can. It is now your duty to take the place that we are leaving vacant by our graduation. Now you are to have the enjoyable responsibilities and activities that we have taken care of all this year. Upon your head will rest the honorable name of Seniors. We trust that you will keep that name in the clean and untarnished condition that we so faithfully kept it. We place the future of our school in your hands, and we do so without even turning pale! You are to be our successors and we welcome you with all the fondness and cordiality of which we are capable. Not one brickbat shall we throw. You are to be the Seniors of next year, and as such, we assure you we shall treat you only with the dignity you deserve. --but remember to behave yourselves! I want to tell you that it is a wonderful thing to be a Senior. There is no other feel- ing that compares with it. It will make you happy and proud. My advice to you is that you make the most of your happiness and pride, not by negligence, but by steady devotion to your school and work. Therein lies fulfillment of all the promise that you have led us to believe you possess. To do honor to your school and to yourselves--that is the final charge of the departing class to their bright and trustworthy followers. We wish you good luck and a wonderful career next year. May every one of you, when the proper time comes, be in the position we are in tonight: embarrassed, but tickled, self-conscious, but elated, and happier than we ever expect to be again. A worthy feeling, Juniors, and one that we can recommend with all our hearts. , 19 ...IL .,,, . an on .

Recently, being restless and weary with the 'cares of the day, I long for a change of scene and time. So, closing my eyes and relaxing, I wished myself and my classmates into the future fifteen years from now. I found that in these fifteen years I had kept in close touch with all the members of the Class of 1949. Perhaps this rather gigan- tic task had been made easier by the fact that I found myself working in the main office of the American Export Company in New York City, with branch offices in all large foreign cities, which kept me in contact with all strange and exciting places. So vivid and complete was my trip into the future that I aroused from my fanciful dream with information about all my classmates fifteen years from now. I am certain you will be interested.

Because we believe so whole -heartedly in our school we hardly need tell you how completely we believe in our dear superintendent and teachers, who have done so much for us throughout these years We believe m all they have told us, all they have taught us and all they have shown us by their advice and example. We believe thirdly in our good old state Arkansas and in the pride of all her towns Norman Long may she live and prosper None can surpass and few can compare to our way of thinking with Arkansas --her temperate climate, her scenic views and her vast possibilities for the future make us glad that Arkansas has nurtured us and can call us her children To believe so devotedly in our ownstate we must also have an even larger belief in the republic of which she is so vital a part We believe our UnitedStates of America should and will continue to be a guidmg light and inspiration to other nations--holding aloft the torch of justice for the common man giving liberty to all and the rights offree people in a free world To our glorious flag symbol of courage purity and truth we renew within ourselves each day our pledge of allegiance as an American citizen and count it a blessing from God that we haven been premitted to live and study in a land where all are born equal and each with equal opportunities Fifthly we believe in our class motto, We build the ladder by which we rise We do not believe that we could have found more inspiring words had we searched all languages and dialects Everybody whether he knows it or not, has one predominatmg principle of his life one supreme influence one inspiring force by which all his acts are shaped and arranged lf this principle is a worthy one his life will be one of nobility and honor it therefore stands us well in hand to think strongly and seriously of the prmciple that is to be the foundation of our life. Truly indeed do we believe heart and soul in the motto which we have chosen, We build the ladder by which we rise We believe sixthly in our school colors, red and white We believe that it is fitting for all indu iduals or groups to show their colors bravely and boldly, that the world and their friends may know exactly where they stand Our colors, red and white emblem of courage and purity symbolize to us all that a perfect life should consist of and we shall make it one of our ambitions to cause the world to beliexe in them too Last of all friends we believe ln ourselves Our faith in ourselves is not because of someone else s faith in us or lack of faith but m spite of it We think 1 1 . . . 1 1 . . . . . 1 . . . . 1 . . . . . . . 1 . . . . . . . 1 . . . . 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 . . . 1 1 . . . . . . 1 . 1 . . 1 . . . . . . . . . . . . 1 . . .

Mi, -. we are beginning to know ourselves: and while this means that we have a full know- ledge of our weaknesses, it also means that we must have an equally full know- ledge of our capabilities. With this belief in ourselves, we step as a class across the boundary line that separates school life from 1ife's great school, feeling no fear of the great future: but inspired by our motto, sustained by our colors, cheered by the example of our teachers, and certain of success so long as we improve every opportunity for service and offer the world nothing less than our very best efforts. CLASS OBITUARY Eua smaning It is with profound regret that we announce the death, in the fourth year of its age, of the well-known and highly respected Senior Class of the Norman High School. After its remarkable achievements recently with its examinations, which it passed with flying colors, it was noticed by many that the class seemed to be falling away in strength. After a very careful diagnosis, the trouble proved to be enlargement of the intellect, which, after a lingering attack of four years, caused the death of the class on May 24, 1949. The funeral services will be held in the Auditorium on May 26 at 8:00 p.m., and all friends and relatives are requested to attend, bearing flowers and gifts. The death of this brilliant class, although not sudden, is still a shock to the entire community, particularly to the faculty, who had thought it might linger for yet another year, However, the accumulation of facts and fancies, information and ideals was too great for the immature mind of the Senior Class, and it gave up the struggle gracefully, as it did all things, immediately after the final exam- inations, The Senior Class was one respected and loved by all who knew it and will be greatly missed in the social, athletic, and education circles of the school and neighborhood. Its qualities of industry, idealism, and charm endeared it to all who had the pleasure of its acquaintance, and it will be sincerely mourned by faculty, classmates, and friends. The public record of this class has been extraordinary in many ways and will long be remembered, No other class has made its presence felt so much as this class whose passing we mourn tonight. The loss of this class will be deeply felt in the community, and it will be difficult to assemble another with so much public spirit and power of accomplishment. The Senior Class is survived by a Junior Class, a Sophomore Class, and a Freshman Class. The first mentioned will be appointed to the place left vacant by the untimely death of the Senior Class, but can in no measure fill the position, nor will it be expected to do so at first. A great class has gone from us, and together we mourn its passing, consol- ing ourselves with this thought: He whom the Gods love dies while a youth. 23 A, ,, ,.,,,.. -. .,.,-.l .U - - ' CLASS WILL Catherine Pettit My friends, I have called you to assemble here as a solemn duty, that you, the heirs of my respected client, the Class of 1949, may hear her last will and testament, which, as her legal advisor, I drew, as directed by her, immediately prior to her passing from our presence. My I entreat that you receive your re- spective legacies in the spirit of unselfish friendship with which they were given? I shall appreciate your courteous attention while I read this duly attested will. We, the Class of 1949, in the town of Norman, the county of Montgomery, and the state of Arkansas, being ingas good mental condition as usual, and in much better temper than usual, do hereby make this our last will and testament, rend- ering void and of no avail any former will or wills that may have been previously made by us during a period of temporary optimism. To the Junior Class we bestow our richest treasures. Our Senior dignity, our excelling wit, our superlative brilliancy, our good looks, our charming inan- ners, our favor with the teachers, our splendid grades and our triumphant exit as the most popular class this school has ever seen--these are the rare treas- ures that we hand down to the coming Senior Class. Our indifference to criticism, our sublime self-conceit, and our wonderful intellectual powers, which have brought us to our present enviable position, we bequeath to the Sophomores. To the young and unsophisticated Freshmen we leave a map of the school building, so that they will not get lost and roam about in everybody's way looking for their classrooms. To our dear old school building itself, we leave the peaceful quiet caused by our absence and any apple cores, wads of gum, or crumpled notes we may have left about. To our teachers, the faculty of the Norman High School, we hereby give,free from all inheritance, luxury or income tax, our entire store of knowledge. I, Fauntella Black, bequeath my ability to get along with the teachers to Dorothy Guthrey, and my height I give to Jo Neil Watson.
