£fc.ee We I HE SENIOR Class of tlie Timmonsville High School, realizing W I j that after May 28, 1920, we will no longer be here as instructors and B legal advisors for the school, desire to have something truly char- acteristic of our Class and that will benefit all the classes to come. In our meeting to discuss our final will and testament, many things were proposed, such as the latest things in school bills; an elevator whereby coal can be brought from the basement to various rooms, or a new furnace was then discussed. All of these would be great donations to the school, and we feel sure that our wise citizens will install these in a very short time. After serious consideration, the Class decided to buy the electric piano from the Dixie Theater, so that when lyceum companies shall come in the future years the town and school will not lie embarrassed when the pedal refuses to yield to pressure. I, Alma McLendon, do hereby will and bequeath my interest in The Citadel to Attie McMillan, with the hope she may make as good use of it as I have. I, Until Conyers, do hereby will and bequeath my lavender and yellow stationery to Norma Taylor. I am sure she will get as much pleasure and profit out of it as I have. To Virginia McKinzie I will my love for loafing. I, James AY bite, will all my money to Graham Hawkins, to be used in the repairing of the road to Sardis. I would instruct him to fix it before each Sunday, as I travel that road a good deal. Oui, Oui, Marie ???????? I. Mamie Ham, do hereby will and bequeath my love for selling Lyceum and Chautauqua tickets to Robert Saverance and Nebraska Brown. I, Melvin Purvis, bequeath my position in Cole Drug Co. to Dick Good- man, provided he will keep Coker and Converse supplied with Whitman’s Sampler. Shelly McKay wills her good French marks to Frances Conyers and to Elizabeth Coker she wills her bangs. I, Marion Huggins, do hereby will and bequeath my love for Germans to Nell Cannon. May she stand by them as I. Evelyn Coker wills and bequeaths her tan spatts to Edwin Rollins, who thinks that all girls fool people by wearing spatts over slippers. To Fred Bane she wills her three little curls which she disposed of last summer. T, George Rollins, do hereby will and bequeath my blue sweater to Lemont Sansbury, with the hope he will not have much trouble making it fit him. I, Mary Alma Anderson, do hereby will and bequeath my curls to Cora Hill, and to Aosta Jordan my beau catcher.

ment. On one side of the house is a large, open field. I soon discover that this is an aviation field and that Melvin has devoted his entire time to aero- planes. A revelation so wonderful as this I did not feel like keeping forever from the eyes of the world, so I set it forth on the printed page that all may see and know the future career of each distinguished member of the Class of 1920. Evelyn Coker, Class Prophet.

Henry White hereby wills his love for history to Marguerite Reville. It is hoped this donation will give Marguerite the ability to repeat the entire history lesson as accurately as her donor. I. Dorothy Keith, do hereby will and bequeath my long Latin sentences to Janie May Purvis and to Julia Saverance I will my Hot Dogs. I. Laurie Anderson, do hereby will and bequeath my overcoat to Wilmer McDaniel, hoping it will not be too large for him. I. Floy White, do hereby will and bequeath my love for Latin to Norwood Lowman, and to Mary Lea my old green sweater. I. Paul Vane Elrod, do hereby will and bequeath my khaki coat to Edith Anderson, hoping she will get as much wear out of it as I have. To our comrades of the eighth and ninth grades we leave our best wishes for your future success and happiness; and to our instructors who have labored to make us eager for knowledge we extend our gratitude. In the future years we shall have taken our places in “the world s broad field of battle.” May the wanderer passing by the Timmonsville High School find some little traces of our footprints in the sand of time. Paul Vane Elrod. Class Lawyer.
