.ew my veizmwz BY We, the class of l94O, of Rule High School, consisting of sixty individuals of sound mind and healthy bodies, do hereby make and declare this to be our last will and testa- ment, in form as follows: To the entire school we leave the example we have set as worthy and blameless students. Our record has been spot- less. To the community at large we bequeath the influence we have had for the honorable and better things of life: Our interest in music, in local dramatics, in club organizations- all these have contributed to the cultured spirit and in all we have taken part and have done our share. To the junior class we bestow our richest treasures. Our senior dignity lbelieve us truly we have a large amountl, our superlative brilliancy, our good looks, our charming manners, our favors with the teachers, our splendid grades, above all our senior privileges lwhich we looked for but never foundi, and our triumphant exit as the most popular class this school has ever known os seenl--there are the rare treasures that we hand down to then on-coming senior class. Our bountiful estate of personal property we do hereby dispose of as follows: We, the senior class, leave to Miss Dowell, our advisor, friend, and companion, our deepest sympathy and profound respect. We leave to the faculty as a whole, our best wishes, our love and appreciation for what they have done for us during the four years, and hope they won't have as much trouble or as many heartaches over the ascending juniors as they did over the outgoing seniors. Dorothy Benson leaves her lively spirit to James French. Lester Hansard leaves his bashfulness to B. B. Bateman. Mary Will Bohanan leaves her little giggle to Willow Dean Lines. Lelia Caldwell leaves her neatness to Edith Human. Harold Holland leaves his typing speed to lda Cooper. Alberta Childress leaves her book knowledge to Miss Schafer. Mildred Compton wills her musical gifts to Stephen Smith. Music has charms to soothe the savage beast. Lester King leaves his gifts of gab to Louise Noe. Kenneth Roby leaves a stack of broken hearts behind him-You could pick up six basketfuls . Vera Cox leaves her letters received from Turkey to Mr. Sharp hoping he can entice more pupils to become interested in history. - J. R. Monday leaves his position as captain of the foot- ball team to John Ellenburg. Robert Manley leaves his position as president of the senior class of '40 to the one eligible for the office. Phillips Martin leaves his way with the women ' to Doyle Evans. Ray Mink leaves his reserved seat in the picture show by Mildred King to Jewel Love. Emma McKinney leaves her history book to Lucille Wilson if she will promise not to let Mr. Sharp see her use it. Clyde Newman leaves his notebook to anyone who can find it as it has been missing for some time. Cora Morris leaves her title as Miss Rule High to Martha Turbyville. Margaret Roth leaves her plump figure to Miss Gib- son. We bequeath to our principal, Mr. Humphreys, all the respect, reverence, and awe that we hold in him that he may distribute it among the on-coming juniors, sophomores, and freshmen so that they may conduct themselves in his presence as we did. To Miss Schorer we will the balance of our class treasury, to be used in buying a pair of rubber shoes for detective work. We feel she will be sure to need these in dealing with the classes that are to be our successors. Kathleen lngle leaves her scholastic ability to some lucky junior. The million dollar smile of Agnes Stair goes to W. C. Thornton. Ed Moyers leaves his athletic ability to Bill Foxx if he will improve his method of making love.
