£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.

Q)a£ebtcforj ---- UST A8 there is a beginning to all things, so must there be an end O I to all tilings. The end of sorrow brings joy, and the end of joy W brings sorrow. Tonight we have a mixed feeling both of joy and sorrow. Joy, because of our achievements, small though they may have been; joy, because we have at last reached that goal for which we have been working throughout our school life. Sorrow, because we, as a class, are separating and leaving behind us the joys that have been ours for the past ten years; sorrow, that as a class we shall never reassemble in the Timmonsville High School. As we look back over the past decade and realize the many errors that have been made, we naturally feel that we would like to go back over those years and profit by our many mistakes. And yet, we look forward to the future with bright hopes because of these years spent in preparation for going out into the world; first, into college, then into that larger school of life as citizens of this great country of ours. As a young bird wishes to try its wings and the deer to see how fleet of foot he is, so are we eager to try our fate in the vast and unknown future. W ould that we were to look ahead through the glasses of Father Time and learn what the world holds in store for us; what the Class of 1920 shall have done to make the world better. In this age there is such a wonderful chance to serve our fellowmen. Never has there been such an opportunity for service. lie school girls and boys must learn that a thing is valuable only so long as it can be shared with others. Far ahead of us stretch two roads through the journey of life; one is the road of service; the other, the road of selfishness. The road of service will gradually become wider and wider, and at the end of the way, when the good part is reached, there will be heard the commendation, Well done, thou good and faithful servant. The other road is full of dark pits and narrower and narrower will it become until the wanderer will be lost in a sea of selfishness, doubt, and despair, leaving behind him no record of good deeds to merit the praise of men. And now, ere we leave this school, we would thank the trustees who have made this school possible; our parents, whose interest and encouragement have helped us in our training; the teachers who. through the years of our school life, have patiently and untiringly labored that we might grow in wis- dom. Especially would I make mention of the High School teachers who have done so much toward making this last year our happiest and best, and who have given us invaluable aid in getting out our first annual. May the giver of all good gifts shower you with blessings.
