Class Will By VIOLET YERTON We, the class of 1942, knowing that our school days will soon be over, leave this our last will and testament: To our teacher, Mr. John Alexander, and to a'l our other teachers, both academic and vo- cational, our grateful thanks for their interest in us and for their untiring effort and work. To our superintendent, and members of the Board of Directors, our sincere appreciation for the many things done for us during our school days. To the principal and assistant principals, our gratitude for their guidance, interest, and wise planning which helped us get the most out of each year. To Alberta Delozier, Violet leaves her ability to “get ’em and forget ’em.” To C. R., Ray bequeathes his skill in carpen- try. To Bain, Clark hands down his position as center on the basketball team. Witnesses: John W. Alexander Odie W. Underhill May 22, 1942 To Nell Walker, Elsie Mae passes on her dignified manner and sweet disposition. To Tommie Cobb, Calton gladly bequeathes his job as boss of the campus cleaners. To the girls in the Junior Class, Violet leaves her many beaux, with the understanding they don’t monopolize the boys too much and allow each of them tc write her once in a while. To C. R., Margaret reluctantly leaves her arithmetic and algebra with the hope that C. R. will love mathmetics as much as she did. To Rudolph Watson and Doris Yates, Calton and Violet leave their surprising ability to start a fuss. To Maxine Mason, Elsie Mae leaves her calm and composure with a sincere wish that Maxine will learn not to be so talkative and noisy. To the Junior Class, the Seniors leave their room, furniture, books, and the sacred class hatchet. Signed: Ray Cowan CALTON JAMES MARGARET REVELS EusteE MAr RoBINsON CLARK SMITH VioLET Mar YERTON
