Last Will and Testament To those whom it may or may not concern: We, the Senior Class of 1932 of Pine Bluff High School, Pine Bluff, Arkansas, having arrived at this revered position because our teachers, tired of looking at our bright and dirty faces, passed us; and being completely insane and out of our weak minds, we do hereby bequeath to those who linger those things which, being unable to take along, we had just as well give away. As it is customary to will something to the faculty, we, the entire class, after little concentration, do bestow upon them the chewing gum that we have so regretfully placed under the desks, on condition that they do not chew it. Sylvia Ehrenberg, with the greatest sincerity, leaves to Josephine Lawton her craving for knowledge, admonishing Jody not to suffer a nervous breakdown from over-work Sorrowfully William Cunningham leaves his ability to inveigle the fairer sex to Edgar Pledger, although he realizes that his record for conquests can never be equaled. I, Billy Coles, do will my great athletic ability to my little shadow Red Davis, in order that I may be sure it is carried on. Collins Andrews, after much thought, weepingly leaves Wanda, whom he considers quite enough. Having left so much in previous years. Burns Bennett feels as though he has nothing left to give away. Joe Barry Mullins has not decided whether to leave Cutes or not. With much thought Christine Kientz leaves his musical talent to his faithful understudy, Niven Clegg. Hollis Harrison reluctantly bestows his speaking ability on one Abraham Bram, whose talent has already rocked the school. Carrie Mae Norton, after a year's experience at ad solicting gives to the library a long thesis on How to Make Your First Million.” Wishing to have the cinders dusted in future years, Johnny Wilson requests James Ross to carry on. I, Clay Blevins Yoe, Jr., do yield part of my abundant supply of Scotch instincts to Reeves Ritchie, who already has a goodly share, and to Richard Bunn do 1 will my melodious tenor. To Joe David Dietrich is given the rare speaking and debating ability of Eugene Wiley, who goes to wider fields. Joe Evans leaves his many and varied student offices to the best man, but considers himself the best man as far as Negie Lee is concerned. After lengthy deliberation, McFcr-rin Fergusson refuse to bestow his title of “Best Looking Boy upon anyone, feeling as though no one else could grace the position as can he. Floyd Jarvis leaves to “little brother”, Campbell, his desire of breaking the yearbook by pushing the little knob on the camera to hear the click. Just to be different, Harvey Gillespie takes with him the longing glances of the feminine portion of the school, leaving only a string of broken hearts. The ability to pester Miss Toney is conferred by Sterling Clark upon someone else who doesn't know his lesson. One large black pencil is all that Sue English will relinquish, and that to the next Editor-in-chief of the Pine Cone, challenging that august person to try to use it more than has Sweet” Sue. Feeling as though he has many a-bilities to spare, Simon Sherman places upon Siegfried Johnson his natural ability to make a clarinet squeak. Harold Davis is made the proud possessor of the quick, jumpy little mannerisms of fast-moving Vernon Green. The cast of the Senior Play leave their names on the scenery on the stage. Dorothy Rule bequeaths her nose for powder” to Martha Bent Goodloe, who has already shown signs of being Page Twenty-Two
