LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the class of 1950, in thirty-nine individual and distinct parts, being about to pass out of this sphere of education, in full possession of a crammed mind, well trained memory and almost super-human understanding, finding so many things of such gigantic proportions to be attended to before the end should come upon us, do make and declare this our last will and testament, hereby revoking and making void all former wills or promises by us at any time heretofore made, or mayhap, carelessly spoken, one to another, as the thoughtless wish of an idle hour. As to such estate as it has pleased the Fates and our strong hands and brains to win for us, we do dispose of the same as follows: We give and bequeath to our beloved principal, Mr. Charles H. Morgan, our sincere affection, our deep- est reverence, and our heartiest gratitude. To the dear faculty, who have been our instruc- tors in all the wisdom of the ages, we give and bequeath a sweet and unbroken succession of restful nights and peaceful dreams and all the amazing knowl- edge and startling information that we have furnished them from time to time in our various examination papers. To our class advisor, Mrs. Hamilton Bryson, we leave our profound admiration and ever-enduring friendship. We leave to the Junior Class our Senior dignity. May they uphold it forever. To the Juniors we also leave our seats in class-room and chapel, may they endeavor to fill them as advantageously, as promptly and as faithfully as we have done. We likewise leave to this same Junior Class, Harry Justis ' s knowledge of history, English, math, science, and the universe in whole or in part. We trust the class may be able to survive it. To Bette Holloway, Iris Piercey wills her natural blond hair. Bertha Brown wills her noisy ways to Annie Laura Callahan so that she won ' t be so quiet. Emma Mae Thompson wills her ability to talk a lot and still not say anything to Barbara Sue Stone. To whoever sits in his desk, Elven Clark wills the paper behind the radiator. Dorothy Smiley leaves to Martha Walker her ability to so innocently skip classes. Jimmie Geoghegan bequeaths the sweater that he wore in the Senior play to Becky Gordon. Lib Boswell wills her love for music and dancing to Fred Geis. To anybody who needs it Harold Thompson wills his bluff. Apply early to avoid the rush. Billy Taylor leaves to the sophomore boys, his ability to get along with the Freshmen girls. Elsie Lynch wishes to will her height to Barbara Moss and hopes that she will grow up. To Gloria Whitley, Marilyn Thompson wills her giggle, so that Gloria won ' t be so serious minded. Mary Reese leaves her ability to take dictation to Marvis Nichols. Marshall Reamey leaves the cap that he wears in school to David Upton so that he won ' t get so sun- burned. Linwood Greene leaves his duties as bus driver to Raymond Walker. To Doma Ferguson, Emma Lou Wall leaves her intelligence. Jolene Sutton wills two molecules of hydro- gen to Ann Seagle so that she can build more of her Castles in air. Barbara Ann Walker leaves to Betty Lou Walker her ability to loaf and still pass. Cammie Rainey wills her ability to blush to the Junior Class and Miss Bell. Marie Watson leaves her bashfulness to Marion Gray Davis. Mary Lee Lambert wills her ability to translate Latin to Adriene Smith. Permelia Ryland leaves her lucky penny to Mary Pearl Taylor with the hope that it brings her much luck. Paige Thomas wills her ability to pay attention in class to Helen Sadler. To Willie Ann Thompson, Thelma Reese leaves her athletic ability. Beth Hargett leaves her gift of gab to Dan Upton. Clarence Wells leaves a nickel to Herman Harris so that he can get to all the ball games. James Van Dyke wills his right punch to Harry Mewborn. Billy Doyle wills his seriousness to Jere Watkins. Mary Ann Lett leaves to Doris Sutton her ability to eat all the time and still show no ill effects. Frank Edens leaves his job of ringing the bells to Laten Shumaker. John Greene wills his love for the girls to Tracy Morgan, and also his ability to stay slim to Jackie Cleaton. Margaret Morgan leaves her ability to get the family car to anyone who has that difficulty. Margaret Moody and Annie Lewis Tackett will their friendship to Ann Seagle and Martha Walker. Cecil Shell leaves his smooth, quiet manner to Glenn Hill. Joyce Dixon leaves her ability to talk endlessly to Kay MacMullan so that Kay won ' t be so shy. Sammy Warren wills his peroxide and temper to Melvin Reekes. Jimmie Jeffress leaves a few pounds to David Irvine. Last comes the one thing hard for us to part with. To our successors we must leave our places in the hearts and thoughts of our Principal and teachers. We trust that the Class of 1951 will appreciate all this as much as we have. Given under my hand and seal this 19th day of May, in the year of Our Lord, Nineteen Hundred and Fifty, at South Hill High School. BEN HENDRICK, Class Testator. 121 ]
