Bravely fought each battle And met them all together. Once we all played truant. And wandered far from town; And when we came back to school We all were met with a frown. But now it's time to leave you. Soon our paths will lie apart; But the memory of you will linger Ever and always in our heart. We know that when we leave you. Life will put us to the test; But here's to you old Parsons Hi. The school we love the best. • Now. old Hi. it's parting time From friends we love, and you. But we'll never forget the good times, Before we said adieu. We know that in the coming years We'll e'er look back with pleasure. The lessons learned—the battles won— They'll be our chiefest treasure. Hazel Vanscoy page twenty-five

State of West Virginia being in good bodily health and sound mind and memory being desirous of settling our worldly affairs and directing how the estate with which it has pleased God to bless us. shall be disposed of after our departure as to our worldly estate, bequeath all personal property and good qualities real or imaginary in the manner following: To the Board of Education we leave what is left of the school building: we’ve tried to leave it as we found it four years ago. If there should be anything missing, such as windowpanes. slices of desks, or broken chairs, we hope these worthies will have the grace to say nothing about it for the sake of our renoun. To the Faculty we give our profits from the Annual to buy Nervine for we feel that after living with us so long they will need it. Considering that the under classmen are too young and tender for these respons- ibilities, we leave our tendencies to love and matrimony to the unmarried members of the Faculty who are now mature and now able to undertake the responsibilities of matrimony. To Mr Collins we will a double portion of our class representatives of steadfastness in love. To Miss Wilson for whom we named our Class, we leave each of the succeeding Senior Classes in Parsons High School for a period of five years, at which time we hope fortune may favor her with a rich husband so that she may have a rest from teaching English Four. In accordance to the traditions of this school, we will the Juniors, soon to be Seniors, our Class room, hoping that they will treat the furniture as well as we have and not deface our names cut on the desks and will follow in the traditions that will make them worthy successors of the Class of Nineteen hundred and twenty-eight. To the Sophomores we bequeath our ponies, book reports, themes, and all chew- ing gum stuck under the desk, handle these with care, so that they may be passed on down the line to coming generations and eventually repose in the Parsons Museum of the future. To the Freshmen, we bequeath our diginity, since they are sorely in need of if also our studious habits, and our rights to play hookey, in which line they have already shown some proficiency, hoping that in the years to come they will profit by our worthy example. In Witness thereof. We. the Senior Class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-Eight have to this our last will and testament set our hands and seal, this Twenty-fifth dav May.
