-fact 7065! and 7e41!czmeaL' Parents, teachers, and friends: on behalf of the Senior Class of 1952, l ask you to pay Close attention as I read the last will and testament of the said class: We,the Senior Class of 1952, being of unsound mind and feeble bodies as a result of having fought the good fight, do make the declare this our last will and testament in the manner and form following: ITEM 1: To Mr. Vickers, Dr, Smith, and Mr, Credle we would like to leave our sincere appreciation for their instruction and guidance during the past four years. ITEM 11: Tothe faculty we leave all of our old book- lets, themes, tests, and our gratitude for trying to read and grade them, thereby trying to knock a little more sense into our thick skulls. ITEM III: We give and bequeath to the rising Senior Class the following in the hope that they will regard them as assets and not liabilities. Dixie Boyd wishes to set an example by her smile even as we did our hard unceasing toil every night trying to master our courses. Patsy Brummitt leaves her studious ways to that foremost scholar Jimmy O'Brien. Phoebe Burnette leaves her curly locks and her Toni kit to Hilda Wagnon. Blanche Cheatham gladly gives her baton to the first person who can learn to twirl it without cracking his skull. Ann Crymes, that second Rembrant, leaves her artistic talent to Jerry Wright and Ronald Ragland. Always late Julia Hall leaves her promptness to her equally prompt sister, Slowpoke Sarah, Lila Haney bequeaths some of her excess gray matter to Ray O'Brien, our next Einstein. Dotty Harris leaves her ability to get a man to all those envious Juniors who have to buy their own rings. Virginia Hayes just gladly leaves Miss Boyd's English classes. Anna Hogan, though she hates to think of it, must leave those charming and delightful Tippett boys, Dan and Lawrence. Leslie Hallleaves her scatterbrain to whoever can pick it up. The two Joyces, Knott and Yeargin,leave their booth at the drugstore to that group,Peggy Reynolds, Ann Wallace Betty Baird,Jo Anne Knott,Judy Gholson, and Julia Ad- cock, which keeps the drugstores in business. Jean Hughes wills some of her captivating charm and boy friends to some of the girls who need their second wind before resuming their never-ending battle, old- maid versus bachelor. Violet Overton gives those beautiful and pains-taking booklets to Tom Newton, Can't you just see those A's, Tom? Peggy Paynter bequeaths her cute freckles and some vanishing cream to Janet Hicks.

Preston Johnson and James Overton leave their curly hair to Ben Brummitt and John Crumpler. They can pick the curls up at City Barber Shop. Dan Jones leaves his studies ways to those gad-abouts, Joe and Sally l-Iamme. Jane Knott and Barbara Lloyd got stingy on us, deciding that if they leave it'll be an accomplishment, much less leaving anything else. William Yeatgin has reformed and decided to leave the pool room, for tonight anyway, Maxie Parham gives his height and playing ability to the basketball team, fthe girls' team, that isp, Bobby Watkinsis goingtoleave everything he can't take out under his coat, Hattie Moore decided she would take everything with her, especially the Home Economics books for she fig- ures she will need them in married life.
