r-j f t t f f r : CLASS WILL We, the members of the Senior Class of nineteen hundred and forty, having been taught all it i3 possible for our intelligent minds to grasp, make our last will, bequeathing our many talents to the future graduates of Stanford High School. To all our dear teachers we leave our notebooks, hoping they will close their eyes when they look through them, and with Mr. Embry is left the pleasant thought of being rid of bad rubbish. Among our treasures the most beloved of all is our teacher, Mrs. Cash. We know the Junior Class will appreciate our great gift and be like us—just one big happy family. Each member of the Senior Class has some tradition to hand down to the jolly juniors, gay young sophomores, or the verdant freshmen. Walter Sweeney Holtzclaw, president of the class, leaves his ability to argue with the teachers to Lavenia Morgan, who seems to be ready to do her part of it. Katherine Peavyhouse leaves her speaking ability to Adam Pence. Speak distinctly Adam, just as Katherine does. Bobby Bryan, our “blushing rose,” hopes Robert Lee Gooch will some day take on some color when he has been a bad boy. Lena Frances Turner donates her senior dignity to Mildred Hester, who could use some very nicely. Berta Beazley hopes Ada Vaughn Newland will have as much luck flirting with the boys as she has had. Since Sammy Swope is every girl's “Romeo” of Stanford High School, Wilbur Johnson wills him his ability to resist a girl’s smile, for they don’t always mean it. Lee Cass Elder hands Jim Kelly his easy-going way which has made many friends for him. Wickie Pence likes to keep office so she can talk to all the salesmen who come around. Lula Dean Tarkington, who is to carry on next year, is well on to her job. Bennie Curlis, taxi driver for the school, gives his uniform to Welby Bourne. It may not fit, Welby, but at least you’ll have the honor. Mattie Mae Brent says little but thinks much. Her sister, Jessie, should try this when she becomes a senior. (It’s much more dignified, Jessie.) Elmer Clay Anderson hopes Jack Metcalfe will get by as easily as he has with his day-dreaming during class. «ffiX7r 7i77rjz7zrrrt 2.ZZ2
