We have to decide for ourselves which things to take and which to cast away. Because we are human, we make many mistakes; so naturally, many times after we have taken something, we find that it is entirely useless to us and must be discarded. In much this same manner King Arthur at one time took his famous sword, Excalibur, and then later cast it away. Just as the knights of old tried to make the best choices in order to live up to their code of chivalry; so we are striving to make the choices which will aid us in our later lives. In this 1951 edition of Hi-Ways, “Knight- hood is in Flower.” rd bart Baro We, the Senior Class, do dedicate this, the 1951 edition of Hi-Ways, to our faithful friend and coach, Mr. Robert R. Hickman, who, had he lived during the days of Chivalry, would have been the “Perfect Knight”.

When a knight took his oath of chivalry, he promised to protect the: Church and to defend the weak and oppressed. The essential virtues of each knight were gentleness, courage, courtesy, honesty, purity, generosity, hospitality, and loyalty to his companion knights. Because of these many virtues, a knight set an example for others. As a leader in high school, a senior sets an example for those coming behind him. Therefore, those virtues which were so essential to a knight are also necessary for a senior.

For the first time in the history of Wadesboro High School, there were two senior home rooms. Under the leadership of their advisers, Miss Carrie Sturgis and Miss Hermine Caraway, the seniors were outstanding in quality as well as quantity. With unusual ability, members of the senior class took part in all the extra- curricular activities of the school. Much talent in the fields of ar t, music, writing, acting, and public speaking was displayed by the “Seniors of ‘51.

The lavender sweetpea is our flower; lavender and white are our colors; our song, written to the tune of Harbor Lights, has the following words: We will remember Our dear old high school days forever. The class of fifty-one, Its work has just begun. Our motto, we'll apply, To climb the ladder as we build it high, And our ideals will lead Our world from all its greed. This class will ever be a beacon shining bright, And will uphold in all its dealings, God’s great light. Now as we leave our friends, And all the fun we've had in high school ends, Time out to say goodbye To dear old Wadesboro High. Our motto is: “We build the ladder by which we climb.” By now our ladder has grown rather tall. Let us think back—We planted the two uprights before we began school. We put in the first rung under the guidance of our first head carpenters, Mrs. Joe M. Liles, Mrs. Lee Ashcraft, and Miss Ann Little Masemore. The second rung was hammered in under the capable direction of Mrs. Emily McKinnon and Miss Elizabeth Webb. Our ladder grew two rungs taller under the able leadership of Miss Julia Cameron, Mrs. Lee Ash- craft, Miss Bertie Patterson, Miss Fannie Dunlap, and Miss Alice Lampley. But before the com- pletion of the fourth rung, two of our young fellow Page Whisic el, the Whrstrots (When knighthood was in flower, roving min- strels entertained the people by relating in song teresting events which had happened from time to time. Interesting events which happened to the class of 1951 are inscribed here.) builders, Joe Coleman and Jerry Brower, slipped and fell from our ladder of life. Miss Pauline Pinkston, Mrs. H. E. Allen, Mrs. W. W. Bennett, Miss Nora Boggan, Mrs. W. J. Gulledge, and Miss Fannie Winfree patiently aided us in constructing the next three rungs. But, by now, we were doing more of the building by ourselves, and the going was a little tougher. Again, we were greatly saddened when Joe Pegram, an- other fellow-builder, fatefully slipped and fell from our ladder of achievement. And then, with difficulty, we hammered home the rung which we then thought was the strongest and best. Miss Mary Mitchell and Miss Nancy Gregory helped us drive in this important round. At this stage of construction, six new young carpen- ters—Lorene Williams, Barbara Turner, Mary Sue Harper, H. C. Hasty, Dwight Burr, and William Hanna—brought their hammers and nails and joined our wrecking crew. Meanwhile, Jimmy Brower, Billy Caulder, Lloyd Evans, Jason Honey- cutt, William Hanna, and Bill Ray descended our ladder and affiliated themselves with other working crews. But since then Bill Ray has faithfully re- turned to the old crew and is hammering harder than ever. As we stepped up on our new eighth rung and looked down, we were proud of our job. Joe Bur- roughs had turned out to be our best carpenter in driving in the nails of scholarship. Anne Bryan Bowman and Nancy McQuague rated second and third. And then we looked up into the empty space ahead and, seeing how much farther we had to climb, we promptly returned to our construction job with renewed determination to realize the goal of our ambition. The work was much harder now; the atmosphere was thinner as we climbed higher, but we were more skilled and could take more time off from our labor for extras. The more industrious members of our crew had part-time jobs on The Student Prints and Hi-Ways stafts, played on ball teams and belonged to various clubs. We finished the ninth and tenth rungs under Mrs. Gertrude Wall, Miss Edna Gieseking, Mr. Douglas Hall, Mrs. Roy Gaddy, Miss Mary Alice Turner, Coach Ray Shelton, Miss Hermine Caraway, Miss Anne Carter, (Continued on Page 87) The Lords and ae Betsy Lives Prophet It was eight and time for “Tripalong”. Buckling on my six guns and donning my ten gallon, fi mounted an armchair and was soon tee-viewing old “Trip” as he galloped across my 16-inch screen. I had just gotten comfortably seated in the armchair when I arose with alacrity. As I heard the announcer sing out, “Trippy’s adventures are brought to you by Fred Allen’ s, Incorporated, the greatest furniture store on the bloke (with branch departments on the moon),” I was amazed as I realized that this great enterpriser was one of my ‘51 classmates out of the dim past. As Tripalong charged off the screen, hustling the bad men to the sheriff, the name of she ostume designer flashed across the screen. Betty Jo Tyson (another 51’er) designed the cowboy outfits, including the diamond- studded holster in which “Trip” pocketed his firing arm. Also, Erwin Rayle, who had become world famous for the invention of wristwatch TV sets; was the electrical engineer for this great television program. By this time I had bounded from my armchair (placed at the prescribed fifteen feet) and was almost crouching by the television set in order to believe my eyes. Here, parading in front of me and the world, were my classmates of the class of 1951 —now famous celebrities and world personalities. After a station break I was taken behind the scenes to John Hopkins Hospital for an enlighten- ing program on the skills of surgery. The hospital’s top surgeons, Dr. Frank Davis and Dr. Anne Bryan Bowman, were just completing an operation and were replacing their scalpels as the TV cameras clicked away. (Both guaranteed that they cut pain- lessly.) As they explained the intricacies of their skill, they introduced their “right hands”, nurses Joyce Morton and Mae Glascock, and Occupational Therapist Nancy McQuague. Nancy had a pot of glue in one hand and tatting in the other as she smiled for the cameras and explained how she kept the patient happy. “Also, famous stars visit the hospital,” she explained. “Only last week Mac Wherben z Wheditations (Merlin, King Arthur’s mystic counselor, had magical powers by which he could foretell things to come. Here, we are foretold things for the seniors.) Hardison and Jimmy Hough, the two darlings of movieland, were here!” “Ah-h-h,” I mused, “what a famous and shiny name the class of 51 has made for itself in this modern world.” And just as I adjusted my spec- tacles, especially designed for relieving kinescope cross-eyes, I opened my eyes in delight to see Watt “Twinkle Toes” Harrington dance across my screen. As Watt—another Fred Astaire—waltzed, his orchestra, “The MHarrington Harmoneers”, struck up a top tune while the world famous trio (three more of the class of 51), Cockman, Burr, and Heavener, brought cheers from the teevee audience. “And now,” booms the announcer, “the Baxter Coggin Plumbing Company, the maker of those H-Bomb pipes (quieren ae to resist rust, dust, and radioactivity) presents the Sports Parade.” And with that, we TV viewers were whisked away to the Atomic Bowl, the greatest football classic of the world. I could see Coach Fred “Sphit-T” Mangum pacing the sidelines nervously while the three star players, Marshall Ratliffe, Buddy Rogers, and Carl Jarrell were gunning for a touchdown. A cheer arose from the stands as the TD was made and six more points were rolled up on the scoreboard. Down on the sidelines, ace photographer, Hay- wood Lee, took action shots of the thrilling game while several top newspaper men, Bennett Faulk- ner, Charles Harrington, Jerry Leach, and John Muldrow were jotting down notes. The next program appearing on my set was “The Bill Ray Show”, the funniest, zanniest show of the century. This famous comedian keeps his audience in stitches with his wild jokes and humor- ous comments. Bill has often told his audience that he owed his success to Billy Joe Tucker of the “You Spend It—We Lend It” Finance Company. It seems Bill touched Billy Joe for a small amount, and generous Mr. Tucker gambled and financed Bill’s tee vee show which became such a success. I was laughing so hard that I almost failed to catch the name of the sponsor—the Baker Limou- sine Company. Incidentally the Baker Limousine comes in the hot rod and strip down models and can be converted into a rocket ship for interplanet visits. Of course, the president of this great com- pany is Hugh Baker, who has six skillful vice- (Continued on Page 87) Page 23 Mascots. — . Bicycle built for two! Queen of 1899!!! The Gang!! What is it???

Under the direction of Miss Frances DeLamar and Mrs. Sara Farmer, the Juniors had a very active and profitable year. The class operated a concessions stand at the home football games and conducted a magazine sale to raise needed funds. They went on record by selling more magazines than any previous class had sold. Many Juniors were outstanding in the extracurricular activities in which they participated. The chief majorette, the Booster queen, the Christmas Festival queen, a co-captain of the basketball team, and the new vice-president of the N.C. S. P. |. were all members of the Junior Class. The climax of the year, however, was the Junior-Senior banquet held on May 4, at the Anson County Country Club.

After a year of high school life the sophomores had become accustomed to the “change” and began participating actively in sports, on the annual and paper staffs, in band, cheerleading, and the clubs for which they were eligible. Under the guidance of Mr. William Todd, Mr. Harold Grant, and Mr. Robert Hickman, they again required three homerooms, and were the first to occupy the new wing of the high school building.

As is usually the case, the Freshmen entered high school a bit confused; but soon, they settled down to work with Mr. David Kephart and Mr. Brantley York, their homeroom teachers, guiding them. Physical education, although a required subject, was a great favorite with the “beginners”. Many members of the class got off to a good start by participating in sports, working on publications, and taking part in other extracurricular activities.

Both publications are members of the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, the Southern Interscholastic Press Association, and the North Carolina Scholastic Press Institute. Nancy McQuague, editor of Hi-Ways, served as vice-president of the N.C. S.P. I. in 1950, Pat Beachum, junior assistant editor, was elected vice-president ele ROS, In the C. S. P. A. competition, the 1950 Hi-Ways received a first place rating. The Student Prints received a first place rating in typography from the C.S.P. A. The paper also won the first place S. |. P.

The Beta Club is the honor society of Wadesboro High School which selects its members on the basis of scholastic achievement, leadership, and character. This year the scholastic average required for admission into the club was raised from eighty-five to ninety. Meeting on the second Monday of each month, this club had many worthwhile projects. Funds were raised by the selling of purple and gold beanies and the presentation of a short play. Under the sponsorship of the Wadesboro chapter, an Anson County Beta Club was formed.

The purpose of the Booster Club is to support the Tiger teams and to boost pep and attendance at the ball games. Each year the club sponsors Homecoming or Booster Day. The 1950 Booster Day was observed on November tenth, when the Tigers played Cheraw. That afternoon there was a large parade, and following the game, there was a dance at the Anson County Country Club. This year the Booster Club sponsored the only real homecoming event that W. H. S. has ever had. Class reunions were held by the last ten graduating classes. Page 42 OO IL Club [PEED CDIS npocle IE. Nie es es RL rE Fred.

The Monogram Club is made up of students who have earned their letters in some phase of inter-scholastic competition. This includes football, basketball, baseball, and de- bating. The Monogram Club is one of the oldest extra-curricular organizations at W. H. S., and the chief purpose of the club has always been to encourage other students to participate in activities in which they can earn a school letter. The 1950-51 Monogram Club strove to be one of the most active organizations at W.H. S. For the first time the club had a definite program for the year.

This appearance was met with great enthusiasm by the students and others interested in the school. Director and members alike really put forth the effort to make the band something to be proud of. They have done much to revive and build up school spirit at W. H. S. Page 45 ebating eam Left to right: Nancy Howell, Anne Tice, Mrs. Gaddy, Ernestine Johnson, and Claudia Covington. Representing W.

Playing an eleven-game schedule, they won five and lost six. The Sheltonmen got off to a bad start as they dropped four of their first five games, but they made a great comeback, by winning three in a row before they again tasted defeat. In the season’s opener at Monroe, the Tigers were surprised by a supposedly weak Python eleven and were the victims of a 7-6 upset. Baker carried the offensive load for Wadesboro as he scored their only touchdown on a ten yard end sweep. Ratliffe and Rogers were the defensive standouts. The Tigers rebounded from their opening loss to trounce Dunn’s Green Waves 27-13. Baker again starred, along with Jarrell and Rogers, in the backfield. Baker provided the game’s thriller as he raced ninety-one yards for the Tigers’ first touchdown. In the line, Allen and Vick were the mainstays, making many tackles. In the third outing of the season, the Tigers were bumped 26-14 by Rockingham. Billy McKinnon proved to be too much for the injured Wadesboro squad. Sanford’s Yellow Jackets handed Wadesboro its third loss as they dumped the Tigers 18-0. Nevertheless, the Tiger line played a great game, spearheaded by tackles Teal and Odom. The team journeyed to Charlotte with great determination and seemed to have a close 7-6 victory secured. However, with one minute left to play, Tech threw a long pass for a touchdown and the ball game. In the line, Ratliffe, Allen, and Vick were superb. It was Rogers, Jarrell, Burr, and Harrington in the backfield. On Friday, October 13, the Tigers started their great comeback with a close 13-6 win over Hamlet. The Wades’ offense began to click as it churned away for 256 yards. Baker was the offensive star in the backfield, along with Rogers and Jarrell. Ratliffe, Vick, and Allen combined with the rest of the forward wall to allow the Rams only 96 yards for the night. On October 20, the Tigers had their second biggest scoring night of the season as they trounced Whiteville 25-6. Jarrell and Harrington paced the Tigers on offense, and Jimmy Vick was the star on defense. The Wadesboro eleven continued their comeback trail as they dumped a highly favored Belmont team by 14-7. James was not to be stopped in the backfield, and Jarrell was also outstanding. Buck Harrington played a great defensive game for the Tigers along with Vick and Covington. However, a week later, the Tigers were caught off guard by Laurinburg and as a result, handed their rivals a nice 12-7 victory. Chavis was the outstanding player for Laurinburg. The W. H. S. team did manage to keep one record clean as they won their ninth straight homecoming game. They annihilated Cheraw 49-6. The stars of this game were much too numerous to mention. The Tiger Varsity closed their season with a heartbreaking 7-6 loss to Albemarle. Dossie Heavener played a brilliant game at guard for the losers. Shrine and Optimist Bowler, Marshall Ratliffe, and Optimist Bowler, Buddy Rogers, either made or assisted in at least fifty percent of the tackles. The Junior Varsity squad at Wadesboro High also played a rugged schedule. They faced six opponents and salvaged only one victory for the season. They played such teams as Albemarle, Rockingham, and Chesterfield. The Kittens gained their only win at the expense of Chesterfield by a score of 15-13. Although they had a poor season, several of the J. V.’s star performers are expected to make the big jump to varsity ball next year.

Nineteen games were scheduled for the 1951 girls’ Basketball season. Only six veteran players returned to the squad from last year, but the many new-comers showed a great amount of ability on the playing court. An unusual feature of the regular season was that W. H. S. played no county teams. However, they did participate in the “March of Dimes” tournament in January and the County tournament held at the end of the season. Page 54 ° j Boys Isashethall A!

Wadesboro High’s Tigers began their 1950-51 season in December. From the begin- ning these boys showed a commendable amount of teamwork, as well as an outstanding ability in handling the ball. This spirited team was coached by Mr. Bob Hickman, who has been assistant coach at W. H. S. for two years. The Tigers also played in the “March of Dimes” tournament and the county tournament.

Although they received little praise, the cheerleaders were a vital part of the W. H. S. athletic program. Their tireless efforts to cheer the Tiger teams on to victory and their spirit and enthusiasm at the games did much to keep up the old school spirit. It was the cheerleaders who always managed to see that many Wadesboro fans attended the out-of- town football and basketball games. Page 57 il 2 3. Coaches give Co-Captains final instructions.

To our beloved superintendent, Mr. Wildermuth, who has so gallantly led and directed our high school careers, we bequeath our heartfelt respect and sincere thanks. To Mr. Baucom, our principal, “in all sincerity”, we wish to leave our hearts full of gratitude for his help, and our hopes for a more orderly and coop- erative group in the future. To our home room teachers, Miss Sturgis and Miss Caraway, we leave a box of aspirin, and a word of sincere thanks for the extra hours they have given us and all the numerous things they have done for us. To the members of the faculty of W. H. S., we do leave all the “fond” memories of our high school escapades, and a book of praise for their heroic stand in combating those escapades. To the Junior Class, we leave what is left of our home rooms, record player, and those highly coveted “senior privileges”. To the Sophomores, we bequeath the privilege of being in that marvelous Junior Class with all the fun of planning “the best Junior-Senior yet”. To the Freshmen, we leave the hope that their four years will be as genuinely beneficial and glorious as ours have been. The seniors listed below do most generously and willingly leave some of their rare individual traits to the underclassmen for the “betterment” of the school at large. I, Albert Allen, do leave my office of President of the Senior Class to the one Junior so fortunate. We, Freds, Allen and Mangum, do leave our unique horse-laughs and abilities to apply our good horse sense, to Johnny Allen and Bobby Patterson. ou) (Nobles in the feudal age entrusted tracts of land and other possessions to those who had not reached the rank of noble themselves. These grants were called fiefs. Likewise, the noble Seniors leave certain privileges and possessions to those whom they leave behind at W. H. S.) We, Frank Davis and Betsy Liles, do give our ability to arrive at school at 8:36, to Pat Beachum and Freddy Gray. We, Nancy McQuague and Joe Burroughs, do bequeath our ability to burn the midnight oil study- ing, to Shirley Honeycutt and Libby Overton. We, Hugh Baker and Jimmy Hough, do leave our love for women to Jimmy Mills and George Harrington. We, Tibett Meeks and Martha McRae, do leave our large caps and gowns to Douglas Sellars and Louise Threadgill. We, Betsy Liles and Mary Anne Wall do leave our accents and our abilities to talk about “cute” boys to Nancy Jane Allen and Patsy Bivens. We, Marshall Ratliffe, Buddy Rogers, Albert Allen, and Gwen Maples, do leave our lovely scarlet curly locks to Becky Jo Hill and Phyllis Gantt. We, Carl Jarrell and Haywood Lee, do leave to Shirley Carter and Robert Webb, our ability to tell those wild jokes and “stories of interest”. We, Billy Joe Tucker and Mac Hardison, do leave our unique ability to get excuses for almost anything “Okayed by J. C. B.”, to Peggy Joyce Odum, Robert McLaurin, and Gary Teal. We, Dossie Heavener, Dwight Burr, Harold Cockman, and Lorene Williams, do leave our har- monious voices to Carolyn Austin, Nancy Jane Allen, Jackie Ray Cockman, and Betty Edgeworth. We, Johnny Ratliff and Olin Scott, do bequeath our duet of laughter to Julia Hasty and Dick Griggs. We, Jeanne Wagoner and Bennett Faulkner, do leave our quiet, reserved manners to Jack Thomas and Beatrice Cranford. We, Sarah Allen and Katharine Childs, do leave our strange ability of holding one man, to Peggy Mayhew and Mary Anne Brower. We, Nancy McQuague and Mae Glascock, do leave our ability to keep our oral cavities propped wide open continuously, to Foye Lowe and Carolyn Austin—although they don’t need it.

DeLamar, Mr. J. O. Bowman, Jr., Miss Dolores Martindale, Mrs. Sam Harrell, and Rev. and Mrs. Sam N. Milton. Hard work, but loads of fun, built the next rung. The Junior Play and the Junior-Senior banquet on a pirate ship anchored off Treasure Island gave added spirit to our work. Nancy McQuague had now become our best carpenter for driving the nails of scholarship, and Fred Mangum, of Citizenship, while others excelled in driving the nails of sports, journalism, etc. All four members of the debating team were juniors; and Joe Burroughs and Fred Allen, affirmative speakers, won the district cham- pionship and participated in the state finals. Ben Covington was accompanist for the Glee Club and played for the chapel programs. Nancy McQuague did all the art work on the Hi-Ways which won a first place rating from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association. Nancy also was elected vice- president of the North Carolina Scholastic Press Institute for 1950. Joe Burroughs, associate editor of The Student Prints, attended the Southern Inter- scholastic Press Association Convention, at Wash- ington and Lee University. And now, as busy, “dignified” seniors, with two homerooms for the first time, we drive home the last nail in the first great part of our ladder. We have been well instructed in the construction of our last two rungs by Miss Carrie Sturgis, Miss Her- mine Caraway, Mrs. Mildred Johnson, Miss Frances DeLamar, Miss Evelyn Bullard, Coach Bob Hick- man, Coach Ray Shelton, Mrs. Evelyn Thomas, Mr. John Rawls, Mrs. Gertrude Wall, Miss Hope Bailey, Mr. Harold Grant, Mr. William Todd, Mr. Brantley York, and Mrs. Sara Farmer. Professional carpenters have made our scholastic building easier by constructing four new classrooms in which to work. Joe Burroughs is editor of The Student Prints, Nancy McQuague is editor of the Hi-Ways, Buddy Rogers played in the Optimist Bowl, and Marshall Ratliffe played in the Optimist and Shrine Bowls. Anne Bryan Bowman went on the D.A.R. Good Citizenship Pilgrimage, and Fred Allen was appointed chief page of the N. C. Senate. A few have missed a step along the way, but they are not far below us as we climb. And so, now we stand on the twelfth rung of our partially constructed ladder. Thus far we have succeeded, but as we lift our eager gaze to the future, we see that we have only begun to “build the ladder by which we climb” to mortal greatness. May we all have the strength, courage, determina- tion, and ambition to build each succeeding rung strong, so that there will be no falling back before we reach our goals. MERLIN’S MEDITATIONS (Continued from Page 23) presidents—H. C. Hasty, Tibett Meeks, Jimmy Vick, Jimmy Turner, Olin Scott, and Bill Short. Just then one of the top TV programs flashed on. “Break the Contestant” was featuring Albert Allen, another member of the class of ’51. Albert has a sparkling show with a line of chorus cuties. His extra special jackpot was two weeks in Wades- boro, exciting showplace of the nation, with all expenses paid. I had just adjusted the dials when Mr. Allen introduced his next contestants who were six spruced up school teachers and old classmates— Mary Anne Wall, Gwendolyn Maples, Sarah Allen, Martha McRae, Jeanne Wagoner, and Margaret Burch. Martha explained that she was a kinder- garten teacher and Jeanne asserted she was a phy- sical education director. The other four were high school instructors. The next hour my teevee set took me to a fashion show where I glimpsed glamorous Parisian fash- ions. The latest creations were modeled by Lena Hough and Claudia Carpenter. These smart de- signs were manufactured by Ratliffe Fashions, headed by Johnny Ratliffe and his assistant Dick Wheless. Last on the TV schedule was a scene from a local church. Evening devotional services were being conducted by the pastor, Joe Burroughs. As Joe delivers his sermon, I recall how the class of 51 has traveled and climbed their steep ladder into the spotlight of the world. Then I slowly arose and turned off the television with the thought of how my classmates had endeavored to achieve their ideals of youth—going ever forward, seeking to build a world of good will, democracy, and peace. And I marveled what a powerful and mysterious antenna towered on my roof, for you see, all this happened the night before the Senior Graduation, May 31, 1951. FIEFS (Continued from Page 735) We, Margaret Burch, Mary Helen Coley, and Margaret Burns, do leave our quiet and polite ways to Margaret Reynolds and Billy Coble. We, Baxter and Joyce Coggin, bequeath our good dispositions and ability to “make the grade” Page 87 to the Juniors so lucky. I, Anne Bryan Bowman, do leave “Snake” to the one who is patient enough to endure and survive him, and all my talents to the one who 1s smart enough to acquire them. We, Margaret Sellars and Betty Jo Tyson, do leave our big ways and jokes to Nell Jarman and Agnes James. We, Lena Hough and Ann Helms, do leave our deep bass voices to Jerry Tyson, Larry Starling, and Jack Jenkins. We, Marshall Ratliff, Buddy Rogers, James Vick, Fred Mangum, Albert Allen, Hugh Baker, Dwight Burr, Dossie Heavener, Carl Jarrel, and Johnny Ratliff, do leave our empty places on Coach Shelton’s ball club to Donnie James, Buddy Liles, and George Harrington. We, Bobby Baker and Dick Wheless do leave our out-of-town address books to Betty Lou Barber and Micky Bowers. We, Jimmy Turner, John Muldrow, and Erwin Rayle, do leave our sincerity to Phyllis Russell and Georgia Hanna. We, Claudia Carpenter, Jerry Leach, and Ray Martin, do bequeath our friendliness to Ned Griggs, Charles Henry, Betty Jean Rogers, and Billy Brower. We, Elwyn Carter, Roger Davis, and H. C. Hasty, now becoming thoroughly bored with this docu- ment, do hereby leave the hope that next year’s will and testament will be much shorter, clearer, and more concise than this one. I, Ben Covington, leaving my desire for the Juniors’ success and my hope that they will build high the ladder by which they rise, do sign, seal, scotch-tape, and bury this the last will and testament of the Senior Class of ’51.
