Class Will ¢ Realizing that out scholastic career is nearing an end, and that our days on the N. C. S. D. hill are numbered, we, the Class of 1949, being sound in mind and body, do proclaim this our last will and testament. As a body, the members of the class make the following bequests: To our Superintendent, Dr. Rankin, we leave our sincerest thanks for what he has done for us, our love and promise that we will always aim to live in such a way as to reflect credit to our Alma Mater. Heart-felt thanks and appreciation is futher- more left to Mrs. Frances Davis, Mrs. Triebert, Mrs. Marie Davis, Mr. Hoffmeyer, Mr. Kubis, Dr. Randolph and Mr. Underhill and many other teachers whom we have not mentioned in our volume, for their unselfish efforts in our behalf. To the students who are eager to enter the Col'ege Preparatory Class, we former members leave you a gross of aspirin because we know you will need them once algebra gets its hold upon you. To the Juniors we leave our two valuable wash tubs fcr their coke-selling next year with the fond hope that they make enough from such sales to pay expenses for their Class Book. We give and bequeath to Mrs. Triebert all our used pencils of all lengths for her dwindling collection. To our dining room director, Miss Howard, we leave our gratitude for keeping us alive. And we assure you, Miss Howard, we'll never forget those delicious meals you served. To the teachers we leave whatever we have of quiet and attentive ways to our successors, but all our indifferent studying, wordy conver- XQ sations in class, and all our yawns were buried under our magnolia tree. To Mrs. Wood, the House Director, we leave the hope that she may have at least some good memories of us in the dormitories. As individuals, we, the members of the class, make the following heatects N. C. 8. Ds sports lover, Angela eee bequeaths to Billy McCuiston her daily habit of reading the Sports Column and her love for stirring up arguments about various sports. Pearl Anders leaves to Edna Riddle the “slow-poke” manner of always being late for school, shop, lunch, and bed. But, Edna, a word of warning—keep in mind the ‘‘Merit System”. Raleigh Mooney leaves to Richard Brown his fondness for comic books and his dislike for all sports. Although Dorothy Morrison needs to go on a diet, to her Elsie Little leaves her mouth and stomach for anything digestible. Julia Ray would like to leave her sophisti- cated ways and graceful manners to Colleen McKinney. In hopes that Wilma Lance will keep up with the lastest styles and the new look, Mary Rose Whitley leaves to Wilma her fondness for beautiful clothes. We will be back to take a peep at your unlimited wardrobe, Wilma! Sarah Hinson’s sense of humor and dislike for Algebra are left to Hilda Honeycutt. Last of all, our quiet, serious-minded, and friendly Earl Smith leaves his interest in all school activities to Evelyn Michael. Signed: Class of 1949 Witnesses: The Clock Tower The Old Gym
