The Scribbler, 1930
Spartanburg High School, Spartanburg, South Carolina


Last Will and Testament
Class of '30

We, the Class of 1930, being about to pass out of the sphere of education, in full possession of stuffed minds, well-trained mem-
ories, and almost superhuman powers of understanding, do make and publish this, our last Will and Testament, revoking all former Wills and promises made thoughtlessly in an idle moment.

SECTION I
Article I
To Mr. Jenkins we leave apologies for parking overtime our chewing-gum, for concealing in unsuspected places half-eaten apple cores and for demanding our dear teachers with forged sick excuses which we have obtained with tears and weeping.

Article II
To the faculty we leave our gratitude for being so lenient in assigning long themes, dumb parallel books, Latin contracts, physics and chemistry experiments, French verbs, twisting graphs, and trick problems.

SECTION II
Article I
To the Juniors we leave our innumerable Senior privileges, obtained through days of hard work and faithful waiting, namely:
1. Going to the Library during the vacant period.

SECTION III
Article I
1. Herbert Shapiro leaves his well-known prefix, "Well so," to anyone who can use it as expertly as he has done.
2. Elizabeth Jones, Elizabeth Ballenger and Elizabeth Wallace leave their triple names and triple attractions to Elizabeth Lyles, Elizabeth Jennings, and Elizabeth Nolan.
3. A. D. Cudd leaves his famous "headache stick" to Miss Brice's future worry.
4. Cema Chreitzberg leaves her job of chaperoning Cara Bourne's dates to whomever can undertake the task.
5. Charles Hearon and James Hughes leave their excess height to Jack Anderson and John Mulligan.
6. Lucille Key leaves her Hayesy ways to whomever is affected thus.
7. "Pop" Furber and Grover Eaker bequeath their curly hair to John Sellers.
8. Vera Branyon leaves her French verbs, carved on Desk No. 6 (back seal) in Miss Begg's room, to Katherine Price.
9. Joe Allen gives and bequeaths to "Huby" Nash his abundant supply of "pep" and energy.
10. Electra Scott leaves her privilege of taking off her "specs" in the presence of gentlemen to Virginia Barnwell.
11. Robert Leonard leaves his two o'clock dates in 302 to Albert Vermont.
12 Kitty Drumtnond leaves her passion for listening to the Arcadia String Band to Mary Louise White.
13. C. C. McMillin leaves his Job as perpetual gum chewer of the Senior class to anyone who can stand the jaw-pressure.
14. Lily Steele leaves her recipe for her eighteen-day diet to Lucille Pearson, hoping she'll have same results.
15. Ronald Shores leaves to Woodrow McIntyre his exhausted jar of Sta-Comb.
16. Marian Boyd and Miriam Hawkins leave their "Sax" and jazz music to Mary Haynes and Vernice Hurst
17. Martha Long leaves to anyone who needs them her ancestors, for she feels that she can face the world Ibehind her own coat of paint without their helpful aid.
18. Mary Arnold regrets that she has nothing to leave (remember that she's Scotch).

Article II
1. To Mrs. Evans we would suggest that she collect the Latin ponies from her classes and sell them for dray horses.
2. To Mrs. Erwin we suggest that she either isolate the Chemistry Lab. or furnish the rest of the students with gas masks.
3. We suggest to Miss Carlisle that she use our long themes to found a library for blind mice.

We do hereby appoint "Amos and Andy" administrators of our estate, hoping they will check, recheck, and double check.

In witness whereof, we, the class of nineteen thirty,have to this our Will, set our hands and seal, the sixth day of June, Anno Domini one thousand nine hundred and thirty.

(Signed)   
Mildred Amos.
Marvin Lark.

Witnesses:
1. Maggie and Jiggs.
