CLASS WILL Having hereupon decided that we, the 40th Senior Class of Stanford High School shall, by good fate, graduate May 28, 1942, we state hereby in the presence of Father Time that we designate that quantity of capability and traits which we car. afford to our under-classmen, who need more of these characteristics. Thelma Yeager (Squirt) leaves her ability to lead cheers to Frances Mobley. Frances really doesn’t need any strength in the vocal chords, because her mouth is louder than Squirt’s—it’s the nerve she needs. Juanita Luce (Nita) who wears Jack Metcalf’s heart around her neck, explored around and finally decided to give Margaret Alice Hail her way of keeping office and flirting with all the salesmen. Mary Rose White (Pinkie) has so much oomph in her eyes that she is leaving part of it to Betty Ann Noe. With your outstanding personality and Pinkie’s beautiful eyes you should break somebody’s heart, Betty Ann. Welby Bourne (Peanut) is leaving his cab to Jesse Fox. He has always wanted a car that Bill couldn’t take away from him, we don’t blame you for saying that it was an answer to a chauffeur’s prayer. Carroll Traylor (Knute), who has been the star sportsman of S. H. S. for the past two or three years, leaves his leading plays to Mark Adams, who we feel sure will follow in Carroll’s footsteps. Christine White (Teenie) thought for quite a while, after which she decided to leave her ability to play pranks on people to Joyce Bourne. This is a wonderful decision, because Joyce can certainly carry on. Jennie Boone (Shorty) gives her perfect censorship to Connie Rollons. Connie, don't leave as alone, because it does us good to know what others truthfully think of us. Christine Rogers (Roge), who could never think of giving up Robert Lee Gooch, leaves her ability to eat in English class to Sue Gaunce. Sue, Roge says small pieces of candy are easier gotten away with than most anything else. Undine Corum (Blondie) really wanted to give James Ashley to Mary Frances Matheny, but Mary Frances wouldn’t accept the gift, so Undine had to look around some more. Now, she’s decided to give her ability to be a perfect treasurer to Isabelle Walker. Marjorie Boone (Lucky), much luckier than most girls, has two certain admirers, Jack Givens and Buddy Berry. Jack snooped around and found out that Marjorie was leaving a gift to an under-classman, so he put his foot right down and made her give Buddy to Addalene Barrett. If Addalene uses her beautiful eyes, she’ll soon have him liking her almost as much as he likes Marjorie. Marshall Boone (Marsh) has searched the needs of his underclassmates until he is blue in the face. It wasn’t in vain though, because, he found Carl Long badly in need of some history knowledge.

 V Carl, Marsh is leaving you a good portion of his knowledge. Use it and be the “sun” of your class instead of the “sap.” Jessie Brent (Smitty) didn’t take much time to see that Chuck Farmer needed her great spirit of generosity. Next year, Chuck, buy Kate Boone a nice Christmas present. Sarah Brown (Pat) unlike most redheads, leaves her good nature and slow temper to Mary Katherine Gooch. If you are ever choosing rings again, Mary Katherine, please use Pat’s gift. Bettie Marie Bryan (Pencie) said, no, definitely, when Carolyn McLean asked her to give Alfred Harris to her, but Bettie Marie did give her some secret tips on how to win Carroll Traylor’s heart. We feel sure you’ll use them Carolyn. Pauline Campbell (Nosy) has always been gifted in finding things out before anyone else. So when she learned that Kittie Mac Carson was the last to find out things, Pauline decided to give her six lessons. We feel sure that three will be sufficient. James Ashley (Jack) really got angry when he discovered Undine had made the attempt to give him away, but even this didn’t tempt him to will Undine’s love away. Undine has settled James down a lot so he no longer cares to go to McKinney, but Wallace Reid does, so James gave him two addresses. Don’t lose them, Wallace. A pretty girl lives at each address. Ernest Estridge (Slim) leaves that certain laugh he uses in English class to Sam Swope. Goodness knows, Sam has worn out those last two self-created laughs. This new’ one amuses everyone so use it lots in study hall and English class to break the monotony. Cabell Francis (Cow Bell), w’ho has a mysterious way with teachers and girls, leaves his trombone to Red Lay. Red, we sincerely hope you’ll be as good on the job as Cabell has been. If you ask him, he might give you a bit of his winning personality. Virgie Freeman (Hinkey) is worn out trying to see who needs what the most. Sb had almost given up when it dawned upon her that Lucille Reid could use some of her influence in McKinney. You know, of course, Lucille, that we don’t expect you to move to McKinney. Lucien Good (Spider) took no time in saying that he wanted Wheeler Hunn to carry on where he left off. Wheeler, stop by the Senior Room anytime and pick up the book Lucien has written containing full details on “Monkey-Business.” Lucien says you'll never fail if you follow the directions, Wheeler. Ovalee Green (Mac) leaves her ability to be a perfect waitress to Mary Edna Sandidge. Mary Edna, it might be worth your time to take six lessons. There’s a big career ahead. Dorwin Greer (Dude) leaves his ability to clerk in a grocery store to Scott Smith. Dorwin has a special way of saying, “Something for you?” If you are wise, Scott, you’ll practice with Dude a few times. Neal James (Joker) had such a peaceful mind that he went to sleep in English class every day. It always got him into trouble, so be-
