20 their MIDST such distinguished
body as the class of 1916 will be.
11th. We hand down to Annie
| Mcdowell, the back seat which has
no back in the Senior room and we
fully expect her to make good use
of this opportunity. and not let any
Saxon cars pass along in front Of
the school building without her see
ing them We also will to Evelyn
hltchln, the seat opposite this so
that she will not miss seeing any
gay cavaliers on horseback that pass
along.
18th. We do hereby hand down
to the senior class of 1916, our share
in the basket ball, conditionally.
that they redeem our ability to play
and raise our flag which Greenvllle
has tcailed in the the dust. We also
hequeath Annie Wilkinson's nerve
while playing match game with
Greenville to lone Kitchin, hoping
that she will be the champion goal
thrower Of 1916. We give to Janet
White, Bertha Albertson's ability to
play as a guard, with the hope that
she will not have any bad luck in
playing such as guarding a sky
sweeper.
18th. To the brave boys and girls
Of the Junior class Of 1916, we give
our knowledge of German and we
hope that they will speak as
Auentiy as we. If few Of Us 90
not speak German So hnently, I an
sure it is not Miss Louise Futreli's
fault, for that dear lady has tried
hard to cram into our minds the
German grammar and German
stories. Perhaps it will serve the
Juniors a good purpose in the fu-
ture, if the war keeps on, or if any
Of the boys are chosen as Embas-
sadors to Germany, or if any Of the
girls go over as red cross nurses.
18th. We would like to will to
the senior class our history teacher
but we got history so mixed ia cur
minds, especially the dates and
tariff, that Miss Harriet Herring
has decided to seek new laurels else
where.
18th. We hand down to Mary
Au5bon our famous pony Cicero,
hoping that she will not lose him at
the most fatal time, as we did this
year" and We spent good deal Of
our time looking for him but all in
vain. We hope, however, that she
can ride him successfully through
the term, as he ran away from US
and jolted all Of our class out Of the
cart except Dupree Shields, but he
held the reins and rode gaily
through the term without so much
as receiving a scare.
| 10Th. We bequeath to the senior
class Of 1916 our motto, Ad Astra'
and we sincerely hope that they viii
strive to attain this motto, as you
see we have done. Of course, We
don't expect them to reach as far as
this most brilliant class, but they
can reach nearly as far as we did.
18th. We hand down to the sem
ior class of 1916, our most becom-
ing class colors green and white, as
we fear green will probably suit
them very much.
18th We will Emily Edwards
position as Mr.. Roses pet7to Maggie
Hoggard as her sweet disposition
entities her to that favor although
we all know how Emily hates to be
deprived Of this exalted position
but as the rest Of the class could
not know how to sympathize with
Emily on the lose Of it.
10Th. We will that the lady
principals partially" to Dupree
Shields, be equally divided between
{ William Edwards and Willie Ausbon
5 next year. Yet, we can forgive
Miss Blount her way Of petit g
: Dupree as he is the only boy il our
room and this alarmed Miss BlouDt
lest he should get lost among SC
many girls.
: 10Th. We hand down to Dallas
Hardy, Leona Boyette's talent II
