Page Twenty-four THE ORIOLE dl2)asi Will and eslameni RV kE SOUGHT we learned — and now we go. But before making our departure, we, the undersigned, hereby, in our last will and testament, grant to the following our appreciated and unappreciated possessions: To Mr. Hensel Eckman, our principal, and to the faculty of P. H. S. we leave only one word from Webster’s dictionary, and that word — “ap- preciation.” Valueless, lifeless as it may seem, yet it is the most worthy gift we can select. To the incoming Senior Class we leave our troubles, our care-worn desks, and our worried but smiling teachers. To the school, we leave an atmosphere of companionship, a capable faculty, an ambitious group of students, and a wish that the echo of know- ledge may continue to ring through her halls. Mildred Brockmeyer leaves her freckles to the sun. May he continue to make them shine! Catherine Cecil leaves her baby stares to Eloise Bowling. Curtis Covey leaves his “pep” and laughter to Chester Palmer. Margaret Farmer’s good spirits are left to Stephen Ham. Stuart Blackburn wills his teasing, bashful smile to Kenneth Brugh. Cade Mullins leaves her blushes to Jessie Smith. Hazel Davis leaves her Ford to Mrs. Hall with the hope that she will enjoy a real car. Annie Muire leaves a tombstone to the freshmen. She says they’re dead. Paul Davis leaves his “cuteness” to Miss Dalton. Nancy Bushong and Nellie Carrico leave their quietness, their retiring manners and slender figures to Clarence Johnson and Malcolm Long. Anne Wallace wills her dignity, her studiousness, and her witty remarks to Alma Hall. Billy Matheney leaves his extra name “Wild Bill” and his cowboy hat and gun to Charles Bowles. Doris James and Kathleen Hurd leave their dancing toes and powdered noses to “goodness knows!” — Lawna Harkrader. Frances Frost leaves her “full-of-fire” spirit to Helen Dix. Frank Amburn wills his wonderful sense of humor to David Ratcliffe.

THE ORIOLE Page Twenty-three Brown Cox, Jr., is professor of electrical engineering at V. P. I. Kate Ro binson is a popular blues singer in the Keith Vaudeville, now showing in Salt Lake City, Utah. Mr. Eckman, you should hear that girl sing! Robert Gemmell is manager of the Big Ben Clock Company. He is still an advocate of punctuality. Evangeline Eastman has been gym instructor at Boston College and her teams al- ways come out on top. “Vange” is entering the Olympics next year. For real Indian art you should see the paintings of Frances Frost. She is now in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Remember the smallest girl in the class of ’33? Christine White is now a foreign buyer for Heironimus Brothers of Roanoke, Virginia. Thornton Tice has followed his love for animals. He is dogcatcher in Richmond, Virginia. Beulah Harrell has done her bit to ease our pains. She is a nurse in the State Insane Asylum in Marion, Virginia. Nevelyn Spangler is the chief mattress tester at the Beauty S leep Mattress Company, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. After numerous letters, I found Mary Pickrel busily engaged in Sears Roebuck of Chicago, Illinois. She designs dresses and is a specialist in the art of interior decorating. Jim Hailey was found overseas, working in a German balloon factory. Omie Quesenberry is in Richmond, Virginia. She is head clerk of the hosiery de partment in Miller Rhoades. Annie Muire won the last match with Helen Wills Moody, in Albany, New York. Have you heard of Cade Mullins’ recent solo flight to India? In her everyday life she runs the Mullins garage, in Radford, Virginia. Frances Coleman is chief jig saw puzzle designer in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Catherine Cecil won a blue ribbon at the World Fair for her superb horsemanship. She raises thoroughbreds. June Lindamood is teaching Cicero in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Virginia Crawford is a milk maid for the Southern Dairy in Hollywood, California. Although the boys of ’33 were not much for studying, we did have one industrious lad. Frank Amburn is now an instructor at V. M. I. This constitutes the information which could be secured. It was very kind of you to ask it and we are glad to know that our welfare is still a matter of importance to you. Yours sincerely, MILDRED BROCKMEYER.
