LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the Senior Class of 1949, being of sound mind and body, and realizing that our days at Shelby High School are speedily drawing to a close, and desiring to make a disposal of all our possessions that they may be of use to those who fol- low in our footsteps, do hereby draw up this, cur last will and testament.

GEASS PROPHECY. With a resounding roar the rocket ship leaps into the mysterious and open bound- aties of space. It is capable of traveling faster than sound, thus enabling one to journey years into the future. Glancing at the electric navigator, I see that I am now arriving in Shelby in the year 1959. Having reached my destination, I begin, at a breath-taking rate of atomic speed, my long descent to earth. Upon arrival I am astounded by the many changes that have taken place in this fair city during a period of ten years. Be- ing very anxious to learn of the activities of my classmates, I begin my tour of this industrial metropolis. Crossing Main Street, I find that my attention is attracted by a gigantic ad- vertisement of “The Shelby Institution of Dancing”. The receptionist, Miss Jane Olsby, obligingly renders her assistance in my quest for information. I am told, much to my amazement, that the proprie- tors are none other than J. C. Trammell, master of the ‘Charleston’, and Rachel Roberts, the ravishing beauty of dance society. The outstanding local newspaper, edited by Joe Mauney with the assistance of Mildred Shull and Geraldine Géilreath in the society and advertising departments, is giving the annual county fair a huge write-up. The leading attraction this yeat is “The Midget Show” starring Elizabeth Ann Hamrick, the tallest midget in the world. The fame and glory once held by the man on the flying trapeze now belongs to none other than fearless Joe Ellis and his jetcycle. Caswell Bumgarner, magnate of the popcorn vending machine industry, is busily engaged in collecting the fruits of his labor—nickles from the charitable and slugs from the miserly. Another show guaranteed to hold the public’s interest, especially the males, is 23 entitled ‘“American Beauties’, It heralds the famous names of Toby Robinson, Mary Elam, Gailya Austell, and Dovie Lee Morrison as its main attractions. The very modern ‘New Look Barber Shop” has been opened by Pete Frazier, Frank Lowman, and Howard Gold. It seems that the latest fad is green hair. Their best customers are Judge of Superior Court, Jack Houser, and Shelby’s leading lawyer, Ray Summers. The Clipper’s professional football team is now managed by that outstanding sports figure, Don “Rock” Gold. His team boasts of such all-Americans as Ken Hicks, Bob Mitchell, and Benny Allen. With such good material the Clippers are looking forward to a very successful sea- son, Mayor Milton Noblitt has just ap- proved a law closing all city schools for three weeks during Christmas. This meets with the whole-hearted approval of home economics teacher Martha Harris and mathematics instructors Ray Francis and Doris Abernathy. Among the newest business establish- ments is the OS Shop operated by Larry Hamrick and Jimmy Quinn, and the La Dainty Dress Shoppe managed by Iris Falls and Louise Lee. Don Mauney has just opened the Help Yourself Super Market with the assistance of Bill Procter, Jim Wilson, and Ronald Biggerstaff. Many of the older concerns have been taken over by younger and more capable hands. Bobby Wilson is now managing Messick’s Soda Shop. The Hardware Store has been bought out by Jim Rose, the man who made the eight dollar gun possible. Feeling sure the affairs of 1959 are in dependable hands, I prepare to make my exit to the turmoil and problems of °49. Prophet Philip Goforth
