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

Howard Conley leaves his pleasing personality to Farnum Reynolds. Nancy Pence is a little girl with a big heart, who makes everyone love her. This tradition is left to any girl who can get the secret formula from Nancy. r I George Hail adds his one big freckle to Adrian Gooch’s “school-girl” complexion. Talitha Berlepp seems to have a secret on keeping slim. Marjorie Morris may acquire Talitha’s small waistline. When John Baker becomes manager of the A. P. store he expects Earl Law-son to take his place as “favorite clerk.” Junanita Garner leaves her attraction for the boys to any new student of our school. Eddie Harris bequeaths his cool temper to Bobby Walker. Barbara Nun-nelly leaves her sunny disposition to Virginia Rigsby. Barbara says, “It helped me get my man; I hope it does the same for you, Virginia.” Joy Mae Reynolds’ ability to write poetry goes to anyone who can make things sound as ridiculous and funny as she can. Willie Doan wills his love for all the pretty girls to John Bruce Nevius, who has a touch of it. Betty Ruth Fields leaves her citizenship award to Thelma Wilson. Harold Koenig hopes any boy who gets a permanent can make the curls look as natural as his. Billy Fields hopes Charles Price won’t have to stay after school as much as he has. Elmer Lloyd Baxter gives his ability to make love to Cabell Francis. If Cabell is going to be a ladies’ man, he’ll need Lloyd’s talent. Alfred Pettus leaves his love for Lavenia to any boy who dares to take it. If anyone tries this he should eat plenty of spinach, for he’ll have Alfred to fight. Ralph Hester’s tradition to be handed to Jack Givens is that of drifting along, letting every day provide for itself. Lily Dunaway has always been able to carry on some sort of conversation, but seldom a sensible one. She hopes Juanita Young can graduate with this honor. Joe Givens leaves his ability for wisecracks to James Brown. Don’t give the teachers as much trouble, James. Tommye Hill wills Sue Gaunce her “tom-boy” actions. We think Sue can start where Tommye left off. To the world is left our store of knowledge and common sense, for which our teachers are responsible. We have found a place in the hearts of our school-mates, and we shall find a place in the hearts of all Americans. 00000000000000 000000000000000000000000 0 77 777777777777 7777 1
