ICaHt iitU anli ©PHtamrat ® E, THE Senior Class of 1935, being slightly unbalanced mentally and physically, and realizing that an end must come to all things, good and bad, do hereby will and bequeath to the faculty and remaining pupils the following items of real, personal, and imagi- nary property: To Mr. Eckman we bequeath, in return for his persistence of effort toward our graduation and his untiring patience with us, a Senior Class of a higher order and our sincerest wishes for his success with it. (Also an entire new set of windowpanes for the school.) To our incomparable Miss Pugh we bequeath our lifelong gratitude and respect for her interest and assistance in our Senior year. To Miss Croswhite we leave a specimen of the doodle-bug with red and green stripes. To Miss Blair we leave another line at the water fountain for her to disperse. To Miss Kinder, realizing how tired her fingers get marking down grades, we will and bequeath a rubber stamp with the letter “O” on it for recording English grades. To Miss DuVal we leave a bag of nails to fasten down all the chairs in the commercial department. To Miss Dalton we will a set of laboratory apparatus which does not “come high and break readily.” To Miss Dyer we leave quiet, peaceful, and serene Freshman Classes which will not stir up her ire. To Miss Frye we leave a ball of twine with which to make geometry compasses. To Mr. Ingles we gladly will a football team that can lick Radford. Hinkie Dewey leaves all his English books, essays, poems, and grammar lessons to Roswell Seagle, in the hope that they will be used more than they were this year. James White regretfully leaves his beloved school bus, and will go back to his horse. 21

Few weeks had passed in this last year when we began to realize that time was not to be wasted. Besides trying to complete enough work for graduation it automatically fell our task to publish “The Oriole,” a task as well as a pleasure and opportunity to which we have looked forward for three years, and we knew it meant work to make it a success. Our first attempt to raise money for this purpose was through the sale of candy at ball games. Later we received money from entertainments given by the School, and in December we sponsored a bazaar. Through these means and the aid of the Junior Class it was possible to raise funds to publish The Oriole of 1935. The work of The Oriole staff is to be praised; each member has worked faithfully and unceasingl y for this publication. Miss Crystal Frye was Sponsor; Cynthia Knapp, Editor-in-Chief ; George Dewey, Business Manager; Eloise Bowling, Literary Editor; and Ernestine Seagle, Photographic Editor. Now that our work is finished it is with regret that we leave Pulaski High School, and before we go we wish to express our sincere appreciation to the faculty through whose untiring efforts we have attained this height, Elizabeth Summers ’jj. 20
