Last Will and Testament We, the Senior Class of the Tarboro Public School, being of sound mind and body, and in possession of certain property, both unreal and mixed, do hereby be- queath it to those hereinafter mentioned. Item One To the Board of Trustees a check for $75,758,868.79, to be used for the erection of a high school building, to consist of 122 classrooms, gymnasium, an auditorium in which a whisper may be heard, 12 music rooms not within hearing distance of the auditorium or any classroom, a heating plant so efficient that we may know that we have real feet instead of blocks of ice. This check we do bequeath on condition that no basement room shall ever be used for a classroom, and that the most attractive and best equipped room in the building shall be the library and reading room. Item Two To the Superintendent and Faculty: Our love, esteem, and gratitude we do leave to our respected Superintendent. Also, a pair of keep-on glasses, and a revised edition of the High School Schedule. To the teachers, we will the artistic abilities of Maynard and Walter, so that they may draw larger salaries. To Miss Morgan, a set of Frank Simond ' s books on the Great War, to be used in her future History classes. To Miss Millsaps, a private research laboratory in the new building. To Mr. Rose, a package of Chesterfields with permission to smoke ' em, and a record of How ' re you goin ' to keep ' em down on the farm? To Miss Sanders, a long distance call from Richmond, and a diamond ring in- sured against damage by fire, falls, etc. To Miss Spencer, a Hart, hoping she will live in health, wealth and happiness. To Miss Shuford, two extra recesses, that she may go down town for her male after every train, and a collection of the latest books on palmistry. To Miss Cook, an office assistant, tall enough to reach the top shelf in the book room without a step -ladder. To Miss Wooten, a Bass voice for the chorus, and sufficient persuasive power to make even the seventh grade paddle their own canoes gently down the stream. Item Three To the incoming Seniors, we will the clock, window shades, pencil sharpeners, and electric bell, which we never possessed; all our desks, especially those of kindergarten size; and our Senior privileges and dignity, with the hope that they may not be as heavily burdened as we have been. To the Sophomores, we do bequeath Hazel Hoard ' s studiousness that, by steady application, they may acquire a little of the knowledge they think they now have. -A - k 6J Page Twenty-four
