Class Will of ' 47 In the knowledge that our scholastic days will soon be over, be it remembered that, we, the class of nine¬ teen hundred forty-seven of Stonewall High School, of the town of Clearbrook, State of Virginia, United States of America, do hereby make our last will and testament. We do bequeath to the understated heirs the fol¬ lowing: To our principal, Mr. Harper, the seniors leave a reservation at the Waldorf Astoria in New York, Room No. 13. where he is to go to recover from the shock of knowing that the worst is over, we made the grade. To Mrs. Kersey, our sponsor and adopted mother, we leave the money to take a long rest in Florida, after all -she has put up with in ' 47 and to complete the trip an extra amount of luck and a lot of best wishes from her Seniors. To Mrs. Helen S. Conner, we leave an extra warm room and a silver fox coat to keep her nice and comfor¬ table on cold winter days. To Miss Kendig, we leave barrels and barrels of memories and a six months vacation in Europe with all expenses paid by us. To Mrs. Robert Troupe, a hope chest of good luck and the privilege to say, “I had them as Juniors and that was enough.” To Miss Ellis, we bequeath the privilege of going through the coming years as their sponsor with the class she has now and of seeing them depart as happy as we hope we look. To Mr. Winfrey, we leave the privilege of using his navy slang although we do not understand it. To “Doc” Morrison, the seniors leave an autograph¬ ed record of all the memories he helped create in years gone by and the privilege of coming to visit Stonewall at any time. To Elementary teachers we leave the Stonewall building free of High School Students by 19 50. To the incoming Freshmen class we leave some of the beams of our radiant faces so there will be a certain amount of brightness in this temple of learning and also, a great deal of luck. To the approaching sophomores, the seniors leave their ability to love, honor, grow bigger and better tad¬ poles than we did when we were sophomores studying biology. Betty Owens transfers her ability to know all the angles of keeping a library in tip-top shape to Betty Carper. The seniors leave to Bobby Lewis and Grover Teets the privilege of saying, “We graduated from Stonewall.” Nancy Inskip bequeaths her Spanish II and History books to anyone wanting them. Tommy Stickles would like to leave to Jack Patton, Jack Lowman, and Joseph McAboy his mischievous ways plus his way with women. Annabelle Jobe wills her athletic looks as well as ability to Betty Trenary and Janet DeHaven. Betty Carpenter leaves her giggles and smile to Betty Pugh and Hilda Henry, so they can keep lift cheery in ole Stonewall during ’48. Betty Boden and Johnny Cole leave to Lewis Duval! and Ruth Berg their ability to flirt with ease and grace. Jean Rudolph leaves to Dixie Hager, Colleen Ware and Betty Franks her ability to keep ’em guessin ' (mean¬ ing men, of course.) Dorothy Morrison and Helen Crim leave to the unsuspecting editor of the Confederate next year, an extra pair of eyes, ears, hands and feet, complete with a giant size of Bayer aspirin tablets and plenty of H.,0. Peggy Anderson and Marie Boyd will to all the second year shorthand students their solemn statement, imbedded in A’s, “Look before you Leap.” Doris Morrison and Winnie Knight leave to Frances Kerns their desire and talent minus the ability to waltz on skates. In witness hereof, I, Doris Dean Morrison, the testatrix, have set my hand and seal hereto this day of June in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hun¬ dred and forty-seven (1947). DORIS DEAN MORRISON (Seal ' } Signed, scaled, published and declared as and for our last will and testament by Doris Dean Morrison, the above named testatrix in the presence of us, who, at our request and in the presence of her and of each oth¬ er, has subscribed our names hereto as t witnesses on the day and year last aforesaid.
