they are ‘ South of the Border.
Cartwright has consented to
will one of his etiquette books to
Blondell Berry—in hopes that
he will be better behaved in
geometry next year.
Strawberries, raspberries, china
berries, blackberries, blueberries,
l gooseberries, dewberries — Ore-
netta loves'them all. To Hubert
goes a part of her steadfast heart.'
After all, what’s in a first name
—a surname sounds as sweet
with any other.
Lacy Thompson’s mustache
scratches his girl’s face so much
that he is going to give It to Joe
Bcb Moody, whose bachelorhood
will never give him cause for
that complaint.
Red Seller^ gives to Foy Von
McCasland his red hair to match
the latter’s blushing complexion.
, Cleta Huckabee Is so boister-
ous that she is relieved of con-
stant rhldlngr from' teachers by
Elolse Lowrey and Mary Beth
Miller, who have had experience
along that line.
Evlyan Sheppard hates to keep
that flaming red hair all to her-
self, so she gives It to those two
blonds. Maedall Oriffin and WH-
ladeen Sparkman. A mixture of
white and rtd always makes pink
—won’t they he cute?
Raymond Wilcox wills his long-
est pair cf long trousers to Buck
Ellis fdr Buck to use next time
he goes fishing. Then he won’t
need hip boots.
Elvtn Wells gives Aggie Fore-
hand the right to sine. “Jeepers
Creepers, Where’d You Oet Those
Peepers." Perhaps they will
consent to form a duet.
Veona Denton wills her flirta-
tious ways to Roberta Robert-
son, otherwise destined to be-
come an old maid.
Odejl Casbeer has the utmost
respect'?philantrophy (phllo
meaning love, an thropo meaning
man only).. She bequeaths her
tolerant spirit to Valeria Stacy
'and Lorene Covington.
Every day ln English IV Or-
ville turns ln his seat and says,
"Friday night,” and the answer Is
always, “You b^t!” Orville wills
this line to Ellis Mahan, while
the “yes” man gives his dogma-
tic personality to Nella Beth Mo-
CfL'land!
Lastly: Annabel!' has requested
that she be willed a young man
—and so the entire Senior Class
unite? in delivering to her the
perfect speciman—Edward Pal-
mer.
Third: We give to the JjjWlOr
Class as a whole the courting
room in the High School feiiild-
ing known as Room 100, tq con-
sider as their own and to rever-
ance as such ln the year that
they shall reside there. This Is
given with the hope that the
sponsor presiding behind the
desk (guarding all exits) will be
£s kind, as understanding, as
generous, as helpful,’ and as per-
fect as has been our sponsor, Mrs.
Barnett.
Fourth: We hereby appoint the
beneficiaries as executors of this
our last Win and Testament.
In witness whereof, we, the
Seniors of 1940, the testators,
have to this, our last Will and
Testament set our hearts and
minds, this the 23rd day of April,
