ARTICLE I. JUNIORS To the Junior Class we leave posses- sion of the high school building, together with its occupants, for one year, with the stearn injunction to treat it with kind- ness and respect. To them also we leave the privilege of publishing the 1949 Cruiser and being entertained at the Junior-Senior. Lastly, we leave to them eight dozen assorted straight jackets, in the benevolent care of Miss Winifred Fellers. To these juniors we will the following senior traits: 1. To Martha Harris, ,Iane Cabaniss leaves all her paint brushes and other artistic paraphernalia. 2. To Knighton Patterson, Gordon Hamrick leaves his ability to oper- ate anything on wheels. 3. To Kitty Burrus, Margaret Eason: leaves here excessive amount of in- telligence. 4. To Joe Mauney, Bill Reynolds leaves his dependability. 5. To Cailya Austell, Shirley Huskey leaves her friendliness. 6. To Elizabeth Ann Hamrick, Mar- - garet Rabon leaves her tall and vo- luptuous figure. 7. To Peggy Hoyle and Dovie Lee Morrison, Jim Whisnant and Al- bert Propst leave blithe farewells. fBetter watch them, galslj 3. To Harriet Anthony, Evelyn Wright leaves her extensive ward- robe. 9. To future Chemistry classes, Brew- ster Eskridge leaves three fingers, carefully preserved in a Hag-draped bottle. fConfederate Hag, that is.l ARTICLE II. SOPHOMORES AND FRESHMEN To the sophomores and freshmen, we leave the hope that someday they will be Where we are today. To the sophomores collectively, we leave Mrs. Parker, com- plete with source themes. To the follow- ing, we leave these senior characteristics: 1. To any live sophomores, Bill Lutz leaves his amazing amount of knowledge of the Spanish language, realizing that such a great amount would be too much for one ordi- nary Spanish student to assimilate. 2. To Jenny Daniel, Doris Champion leaves her poise and attractiveness. 3. To '4Stinker Bogersw, ,Ierry Kiser leaves his football uniform. 4. To Betty Jean Morehead, Neva Campbell leaves her raven tresses. 5. To Benn Drum, Kenneth Shields leaves his usavoir fairef, ARTICLE III. FACULTY 1. To Mr. Hagaman, without whose patience and fortitude We would never have reached our present position, to Miss King, who will probably die an untimely death because of her untiring efforts in behalf of this and other Senior Classes of Shelby High School, and to every member of the faculty whose diligence has imparted to us our pittance of knowledge, we g've humble thanks, and beg forgive- ness for our short-sightedness and thickness of skull, 2. To Mrs. Fletcher, Sibley Dorton re- linquishes the Shelby High School Band baton. ARTICLE IV We do hereby appoint our beloved teacher. Miss Gertrude Taylor, whose kindly guidance has shaped the lives of all of us into those of better citizens, as sole executor of this, our last Will and Testament. ARTICLE V We, the undersigned, knowing the Senior Class to have matured to a legal age, do alifix our signatures to this, the Last Will and Testament of the Senior Class of 1948. Testator Amy Wilson Witnesses The Lone Ranger Lena the Hyena Fearless Fosdick I I V Cf., fa., M, Is the present really the reach of the mind? Can man not turn his brilliant perceptions of trends and nuisances into the far seeing powers which were sought so diligently by the astrologists and numerologists? Man broke the atom. He traversed the speed of sound. Why then is it so impossible for man to use his sciences to train his mind in such a way that the future would become apparent to him? With a mental stimulant such as hyp- nosis and with a mind to stimulate I find it possible to project my mind into another's mind as well as into the future. fTime April 10, 19801 His name is Jimmy Blantong heis leader of the band, and as Jimmy swag- gers along the crowded street in the lead of his musical company, his big heart is fairly bursting with pride. This, yes, this is the day of dayswthe moment of moments-Shelby has at last built a Recreation Center. As the band ap- proaches the speaker's stand, Jimmyis mind recalls the hardships and labors, which the people of Shelby endured to reach this goal. 'Tor ten years the women's auxiliaries of the town, led by Doris Champion and Neva Campbell, have been the power house of every fund-raising drive. Mayor Miles Beam, Aldermen Dean Forten- berry, Jim Whisnant, Frank Carver, and .lack Eubanks have placed the Center at the head of the cityfs needs. The local newspaper, managed by Jimmy Tiddy and edited by Margaret Rabon, has virtually waged a crusade on behalf of the Recreation Center. '4About a year ago architect Walter Harris submitted the selected plans and contractor Joe Roberts started con- struction, on the land given to the city bv restaurant magnate Jack O'I.eary. Jane Cabaniss, contemporary Ameri- can artist, volunteered to paint the murals frelative to the life of Isaac Shel- byl in the reception hall and lounge, while sculptor Andre Miller presented his marble statue-Health-llthe model being Annie Lee Ledford, the famed beauty queen, to be placed in the center of the parkl . Mary Louise Horn was appointed manager of the Center, Shirley Huskey hostess, Kenneth Bridges and Marianne Weathers recreation directors. This ex- cellent staff has been working for weeks to get the center ready for its formal opening, todayf' During the two hour speech made by big Bill McKee, political boss, Jimmy recognized the dignitaries as Shelbyis native sons. There were Maestro Albert Propst, Robert Litton, M.D.g atomic scientist, Professor Don Green, com- poser, Carolyn Biggerstaffg and photo- chemist, Dr. Amy Wilson. As Sibley Dorton froaching his silver locks down his neck after a sweeping bowl, aided by representative Izzi and state legislator Reynolds, unveiled the bronze plaque which dedicated the Rec- reation Center to the people of Shelby, I, after glancing around, noticed that the band leader's eyes were not the only tear-filled ones. These were tears of joy and not of sorrow because Shelby citi- zens had risen to the occasion and had met in a fine way the needs of the com- munity. Prophet Brewster Eskridge oLl9e1jafiue5 1.
