Class Will We, the members of the Class of 1950, having reached the end of our high school careers, and finding that we are still of sound mind and memory, do hereby declare the following to be our Last Will and Testament. Nettie Dimmette bequeaths her quiet disposition to Katherine Burchette. We, Dorothy Dimmette and Ivadine Cockerham, leave our position as the senior married women to Patsy Myers and Jo Ann Johnson, who are eternally on the verge. Wardie White wills her Fridays at home to Bud Durham. Melvorine Pardue wills her brown eyes to Emma Jean Couch. Dixie Blackburn wills her ability to keep quiet in class to Hope Tharpe. Geraldine Cockerham leaves her love for “blues” to Eleanor Petree. Tommy McCann leaves some of his height, weight, and muscles to Herbert Settle. Warren White leaves school bus No. 11 to H. C. Roberts, providing he agrees neither to get stuck nor to tail-spin. Rose Lee Poplin leaves her position as saleslady in the school supply store to Lucy Barker. Minnie Mastin bequeaths her honor of never having missed a day in school to Polly Childress. Grace Swaim wills her desire to become an old maid to anyone who is looking forward to a rosy future. John Sparks leaves his love for football to Edward Greene. Carniemell Wall wills her musical ability to Louise Wishon. Betty Hager wills her trim figure to Betty Anthony. R. E. Felts leaves his ability to keep his mouth shut to Roy Gray. Mary Belle Howell leaves her pretty, long, black hair to Imogene Woodruff. John Hoots leaves his position as class president to Charles Gilliam. Ethelene Bauguess wills her ability to stay out of school one day every week and still pass to Doris Pardue. Peggy Petree bequeaths her ability to just barely get inside the homeroom door before the last bell rings to Dickie Martin. Bobby Sizemore bequeaths his unusual ways to David Luffman. We, the Senior Class, bequeath our sweet, blond, homeroom teacher to that mysterious man whom we know noth¬ ing about. We believe that we have acted in the most generous and impartial fashion in the distribution of our possessions and ask that they be accepted and used to the best advantage of those receiving them. This, the Last Will and Testament of the Senior Class of 1950, drawn up, signed, and sealed by us on this the 29th day of May, at Ronda, Wilkes County, North Carolina. Testator, Peggy Petree [ 11 ]
