PEA ond askitnent We the class of June, 1951, having completed our prescribed course of high school education, thereby forfeiting forever our rights and privileges as students therein, do this day and hour set our hand and seal to the following bequests and endow- ments, declaring all preceding and all succeeding gifts and legacies null and void. In sane and kindly state of mind bestow the said traits, gathered during a period of five happy years, though good and bad; it being our greatest desire that they be received in the same manner as they are offered. To our highly admired principal who has suc- cessfully led us through five years of toil and pleas- ure, we leave the exclusive right to enter into, and abide in, our respective hearts, forever. To our Faculty, who have faithfully and patiently guided our oft-wandering foot-steps into the paths of knowledge, we give our whole-hearted and sincere regards. To Mrs. Nannie Freeman who has indeed been a true guiding star, we leave our intense admiration and any good qualities which we do possess. To our Sponsor, Mr. Baker, who has been like one of us, we will our lasting admiration for his sports- manlike dealings with us, not only in the annual but with us in school life. To the future seniors we bequeath our dignity and love for Poquoson High School. Also upon the incoming freshmen we bestow our happy days for five short years and the success given us in the struggle after the goddess ‘’Knowledge”’. After long and earnest consideration the follow- ing individual bequests are bestowed upon the said parties. These objects and traits, with due regard to the desperate need of the said party, are left with good intentions. The Senior Class leaves five caps and gowns to Fannie Dixon, Linwood Burcher, Edward Wilson, Don- ald Butler, and Thomas Carmines. Mary Kathryn Rowe leaves her good looks to ° Madge Ward and Madeline Hopkins, hoping they will be equally divided. 27 Pat Upton wills her winning smile to Margaret Deihl. Shirley Amory leaves her thin well trimmed fig- ure to Nelda Lawson and Betty Jo Evans. Jarmon Moore leaves his love for P. H. S. to Paul Sparrer, Billy Riggins, and Donald Davis. Our fat boy, Ernest Evans, out of the kindness of his great heart leaves his extra inches to Ann Foster. Robert Hallman wills his pleasing personality to Bobby Insley and Norwood Montgomery. Melbourne Hogg leaves his love for ‘Bull Island’ to his brother Carl, knowing he will take care of it. Ray Burcher wills his work as a bus driver to Archie White and Jack Plentovich if they will waste the energy. David Amory, Philip Edwards, and Harold Car- mines leave their ability to sing in Chapel to Angus Eledge and Gene Christman. Okey Wilson wills his surplus energy to Robert Gailey. Eddie Mitchell—a nice child at times—leaves his best regards to the faculty. Janice Crockett leaves her distaste for hurrying to Dolores A. Riggins, Joan Poole, and Jo Ann Phil- lips. Nell Howard wills her love for the Army to Judy Firth and Mary Eugenia Hogg. One of our meek quiet seniors, Hilda Thomas, bequeaths her many graces to Mary Sue Harrell, Dor- othy Insley, and Virginia Lee Nelson. Frances Hunt, ‘tis sweet of her, after due con- sideration bestows her dignity to Marilyn Powell and Elizabeth Firth. Another one of our numerous meek individuals, no other than Zella Smith, yields her angelic smile (what would she do without it) to Barbara Rollins and Ann Shackelford. Martin Riggins leaves his books to any unlucky junior who happens to find them. Norman Shields leaves his bus in care of Carlton Forrest, if he ever gets his permit. Randolph Wilson inherits Stanley Wilson’s po-
