VV. H. S. BEAUTY QUEENS 1 A w W 1 1 Freshman Senior NINA FOUST IONE TALLEY The time drew near for the closing of the Beauty Queen Contest. The mist drew into a heavy fog as the classes, held in great suspense, settled into a watching position. All was still and in constant preparation for some unexpected event. The days held on as some wild beast drawing near its prey causes it to breathe heavy and large drops of prcspiration stand on the forehead. All hands were behind the wheel and all persons were asked to vote for one of the beauty queens. Then the long wished for day drew to a close and the classes gave in their votes. The time spent in counting votes was as the calm before a storm. Then with sudden and unexpected warning, the stillness of the night was broken as by a heavy clap of thunderg the results were read and the Freshman proclaimed victorious. The Seniors were second with thirty- seven hundred votes. The Sophomore beauty queen, Miss Audrey Davis, received ten hundred and Miss Mildred Miller, the Junior queen, seven hundred. 1 9 2 4 ,, ,

Y CLASS WILL OF 1924 We, the Senior Class of '24, City of Welch, State of Oklahoma, United States of America, being of sound mind and duly cognizant of what is involved, do solemnly and seriously make this, our final Will and Testament, disposing of the vast Estate which the Fates have committed unto us and which we, by our own strong minds and vigorous hands, have accumulated. FIRST: To Edna Curry, Veta Billelo bequeaths her right of making Eyes at Don Eads. To Ruth Alley, Bertha Burton wills her gift of Gab. T0 any one who needs it, Andrew's Bluft'.', Apply early and avoid the rush. I HTG Clede Shouse, the secret of John Foust's Famed Methods of playing Basket Sa . T0 Ada Lee Durall, Verna Gambrel's popularity with the High School boys. t To Bessie Bump, Esta Lee Wheatley's right of taking notes in American His- ory. To anyone who is of good health, strong body and weak mind, Carl Kelsey's position as Star Editor. To some benighted Freshman, anyone who will accept it, as it is yet unclaimed -Veva Hcndrixis troubles as Class Secretary. To Dennis Craig, Ray Newman's feminine tendencies. U To Genevieve Dobkins, lone Talley's right to play the Piano for Chapel Exer- elses. To Mable Parkhurst, Margaret Vandermark's right to the use of an Elson His- tory. To some capable Junior, Beulah Mudd wills her ability as Valedictorian. To Everett McGee, Dale Grindle's vanity. To Oliva C-oppcrs, Cassie Linihan's ability of pleasant smiles and smiles and good humor, even though the wayibe unpleasant and undesirable. To Whom Concern-ed: Helena Parker wills her ability of representing the High School as reporter to the Welch Watchman. Apply early and avoid the rush. To Mildred Miller, Ruby Weldon wills her histrionic gifts. To Noami Zcllars we leave Ethel Curry's ability to cook as she may need it in her matrimonial ventures. SECOND: To our class Sponsor, Mr. Bruner, the profound admiration and ever-enduring ifriendship of the Class of '24, in individual as well as collective manifestation. THIRD: To the Junior Class as a whole we bequeath our ability to set exam- ples to underclassmen and to preserve the rights, of Seniors. FOURTH: We give and bequeath to the dear faculty, who have been our instructors in all the wisdom of the ages, a sweet and unbroken succession of rest- ful nights and peaceful dreams. No longer need. they lie awake through the long watches of the night to worry over the uncertainty of whether this one is doing her night work, or that one will have her mathematics in morning class, or the other one will remember every iron-clad rule of compositional technique in the preparation of her essay. It has been a hard strain on them, Efor Seniors are said to be at all times and under all conditions difficult to manage. But they have all done their duty, and verily, now shall they have their well-earned reward. FIFTH: To the High School as a whole, we leave, not of necessity, but of our own free will, our blessings-tender memories of our pleasant associations to- gether and our forgiveness for any thingwe may not have exactly appreciated in the demonstrations of the past, and a .pledge of friendship from hencenforth and forever. SIXTH: The following may seem trifling bequests, but we hope they may be accepted, not as worthless things lavishly thrown away because we can no longer keep them, but as valuable assets to those who may receive them, and a continual 1'eminder of generosity of heart displayed in our free and full bestowal. SEVENTH: We do hereby constitute and appoint Mr. Bevens sole executor of our last will and testament. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, We, the Class wolf '24, the testators, have to this, our Will, w.ritten on two sheets of parchment, set our hands and seal this fifteenth day of April, Anno Domino, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-four. -0 -o--e--o--o--o--o--o--o--o--o--q--Q--q--o--o--o-- --o--Q--v-0--of-o--o--o--o--m 1 9 2 4 ,..,..... .....,.....g.....q..,..4..........................g..,..,..,..,..,..,.
