Last Will and Testament We, the members of the Senior Class of 1945, having reached the milestone of graduation, and who are now leaving our dear Swain High School to face the many problems of the cruel world, with sad hearts do hereby make this, our Last Will and Testament. I. To the Sophomores we will the privilege of having Class Day and Graduation exercises at night when they become Seniors. II. Our dignity we leave to the Freshman Class, who, we trust, can use it well. III. Our beloved teachers, we leave the Sophomore Class, hoping that their dis¬ positions will be such that the Sophomores will never have to bring in homework, write source themes, book reports, or French summaries. IV. To all Underclassmen we leave our desire to have more football, basketball, baseball, and other sports with a full-time coach. We hope that this desire will be realized for them. V. Personal Items: 1. “Keeter and “Will bequeath their acting talent to Jean Minnis Smith and Mary Lou Gloyne. 2. Lewis Gregory leaves his excess weight to Mac Woody, who. we think, needs it more than any other boy in the Sophomore Class. 3. To Jean Sandlin, Betty Lou Moffit leaves her ability to be heard at great distances. 4. Charles Moffitt wills that way he has with the girls to Albert Brown. We hope that Albert can also give the girls all his love and flattery without making any of them mad. 5. Frank Parton leaves his quiet manner to Jimmy Cooper. 6. Joe Estes wills his athletic abilit y to James Branton. 7. To Mary Alice Seals, Mary Anna Watson leaves her vigorous pep and determination as a basketball guard. 8.

Elizabeth Colville wills to Bob Sherrill. 17. Eugene Elliott leaves his over used but healthy vocal chords, along with his ability to slip out of English Class, to Tommy Austin. 18. Deanne Parrish and Ruth Jones leave their habit of sticking together to Juanita Brown and Lytle Bostic. 19. Robert Orr leaves his ability to tell corny jokes to Paul Smiley. 20. Frankie Estes leaves her place as Chief Cheerleader to any Sophomore girl who can yell as loudly as she. (Probably Jonnie Maples). 21 His love for French. Clyde Bates leaves to Perc Estes. 22. Maudell Lindsay wills her pleasing smile and disposition to Helene Crisp. 23. Pauline Crisp wills to Margaree Lowe, her dark hair and fair complexion. 24. O ' Neal Muse leaves his determination to continue his education to G. D. Clark. 25. Blanche and Vergie Lee Thomas leave their quiet ways to Pearl Ammons. She needs both. 26.
