History Senior Class
Isn't it strange that when we were Freshmen we thought that Commencement
Day was the very 1oveliest of all the School year, and now when
our graduation day is actually here, we're really very sorry
to leave P. H. S.? Of course, one couldn't expect us to be wholly
in tears and mourning, for there is always a happy side to everything,
and graduation assuredly has its good points!
How little we dreamed when we entered high school and the
way seemed so difficult that it would be only too short, as "Freshies,"
what manners we affected and what high hopes we were now members
of that great body called the "high School," and some
day hoped to be grave and reverend and dignified Seniors. But
oh, how far away that all seemed! So we just had a good time
then, trying not to show our ignorance of new systems too much.
Almost before we knew it, we were Sophomores. Then, it seemed
ages since our Freshman year, and just about as long before we
would "finish school" as the phrase is. Gracious, what
horrible studies confronted us! We had never seen anything like
this before, and sincerely hoped never to meet with such terrors
in the future. Then it was that we put in most of our studying,
and, as a result, were so glad of any hard earned rest that we
just decided to enjoy ourselves and not worry about dignity or
establishing a precedent or anything. You know you never can
be young but once, so why not have our fling now.
But the next thing we knew (though usually we didn't know
much of anything) we hopped over into the Junior room, where
we didn't feel a bit at home, but which seemed to be the place
everyone expected us to be and was rather surprised if from force
of habit we walked into the room where the Sophomores held sway.
Surely, now with only two more years in school, we must begin
to add to, or perhaps we should say to accumulate, our stock
of dignity, But did we? Nay, not so. The evils of boning and
cramming were over for the present, so why not have a little
more enjoyment? Exams may come and exams may go, but fun goes
on forever; that is, with apologies to Lord Tennyson. Almost
before we could realize it however, we discovered by power of
intuition that we were at last privileged to reside in the longed
for and coveted, though somewhat chilly, Sanctum of the Seniors,
just across the hall.
For the second time in our scholastic lives we were overawed
(the first time being when we entered the sacred portals and
were dubbed Freshmen). Otherwise, we didn't feel one bit different
from what we had before. We were, evidently, not very responsive
to environment. And would you believe it, we didn't seem to care
about anything much but having a good time, when we should have
been obtaining our education and planning life careers and so
on. From this one might judge that the class of '23 did neither
toil nor spin nor set the midnight oil to burning. Though we
fear we never quite equaled the lilies in glory, neither did
we become old and wrinkled because of much study, which we read
somewhere was a weariness to the flesh. We were only normal boys
and girls who really studied quite a lot when it was absolutely
urgent. It was during '23 that the class started their famous
picture gallery. During the previous year, we boasted only one
very swell and obscure calendar, while in the second semester
of the following year no less than twenty and no more than twenty-
five, calendars dotted the walls and various articles of furniture
such as desks, chairs, and blackboards; the only explanation
is that it was a sudden and over-artistic fad.
Hikes, parties and entertainments further added to the pleasure
of the class, being "heartily enjoyed by all those present."
Through it all you may see that 1923 has been "out for
a good time," but don't think that we are never serious
and think no deeper than the "thrills" of class night
or various forms of jollification. We truly realize how much
dear Pulaski High School has done for us and how very, very much
we owe her that we can never repay. We hate to leave you, P.H.
S., now that the time for departure has come, but we trust that
you will not completely forget the fun-loving and oftentimes
thoughtless, but ever loyal, members of the class of '23.

Last Will and Testament
We, the 1922-23 Senior Class of Pulaski High School, feeling
that we are facing the end of P. H. S. life, do solemnly declare
this to be our last will and testament, disposing as wisely and
discreetly as we are able our real and personal property.
First: We, the Senior C1ass of '23, hereby will to the Junior
class our "Good Will," together with our neversharp
pencil sharpener, so that they may always be supplied with pointless
pencils in case of emergency-such as a surprise written lesson.
We also will to the Junior Class the responsibility of keeping
Oriole; the little bird that came to make its home in P.H.S.
in 1921 and finding conditions favorable for its growth remained,
becoming an essential and creditab1e asset to Pulaski High School.
We hope that it may continue to grow with the coming years in
the hands of our successors.
Second: To the remainder of the high school we will free tickets
to the Senior Class, with our compliments.
Third: Elizabeth MATHENEY wills her fame as an actress to
Isabelle MILLER
Beveridge ROBERTS wills her editorship of The Oriole to Thelma
RICHARDSON - She also wills her curls to James CUMMINGS.
Gerard Southern wills his good looks to Foy McGUIRE. He also
wills to William ALLISON the right to ring the period bells.
Minnie PEIRCE wills her winning ways to Alyne HURD.
Ernest LEWEY wills his popularity to Marvin HARDEN
Aline STUART wills her cheerful nature to Alene MILLER
Marshall RUNION wills his love for Miss Watts' Latin to John
COX
Nanette LIVINGSTON wills her cute smile to Beatrice WEBB
Henry FOGLESONG wills his sporty nature and red to Ronald POWELL
Mamie RUSSELL wills her bobbed hair and freckles to Naomi CANNADAY
William BONES wills his fame as a walking history to Clarence
MILLER
Sena THOMPSON wills her low and musical voice to John CROWDER
Robert BUNTS wills his right as the tallest boy to graduate P.
H. S. to Hastwell SIZER
Anna ALLISON wills her flirting ability to Maxine UMBARGER.
Alice LOWMAN wills her habit of being tardy to Martha DERRICK
Lillian PACK wills her gentle, Puritan nature to Evelyn WORLEY
Daisy NELSON wills her love for all things christened "Henry"
to Vera GROSECLOSE
Gertrude JENNINGS wills her spontaneous giggle to Conway SMITH
Doroth JAMESON wills her brains to Howard GILMER
Minnie CANNADAY wills her "specks" and rosy cheeks
to Virginia ROBERTS
Fourth: To the members of the faculty we will the following;
To Mr. BRUGH, our sincere appreciation of his kind advice and
inspiring influence during the past year
To Miss THOMAS, our gratitude and thanks for her most helpful
aid all through our four years of high school. Also, a class
that will love her almost as much as we do, not quite, though,
for it couldn't be found
To Mr. ECKMAN, the respect and love of each individual member
of the class of '23. We also will to him a French class that
will study regularly all irregular verbs assigned by him
To Miss FINKS, an English class that does not believe brevity
to be the soul of wit
To Miss CHAFFIN, a Geometry class that can put a figure on the
board in less than 45 minutes and "stand up" when reciting
To Miss WATTS, a Latin class that does not kick at too long or
too short lessons. Also, a smaller Virgil class
In testimony whereof, we have written and signed and do declare
this paper this the 23rd day of May, 1923, to be our last will
and testament.
Minnie CANNADAY, '23, Testator
