3 Our books we will to the studious. It is said that a book
worm likes nothing better than books. We hope they eat the backs
and covers off of some of them.
4Now what can we leave to the freshmen? Well, they'll need
a can of spinach to give them strength.
5 The sophomores? They won't need anything. T!i"y ! uve their
nerve. If there is anything which can equal t'..j rervc of a sopho
more, we hdve failed to meet up with it.
6 Our beloved juniors? We wish th"m all the h: pniness in the
world. They've certainly had little r p:ines in t'.oir school i.ie up
to this point. We hope they can e- jr - tiu nsclvc i when wt C-i ulU
of their way.
7To our teachers we leave the imposing mass of unusual and
unverified iiformation which may bo found in our accumulated test
papers. If any of the teachers wish to write an encyclopedia using
this information, they may do so without paying royalties to our heirs.
8 To Mr. Hardesty we return unanswered the many difficult
questions which he has propounded to us in the years that have pass
ed. We believe that these same questions can he used over and over
until they are worn to shreds, for surely they will never be answered.
If we couldn't answer them, who can?
9Pictures, drawings, and etchings which we have left behind
are to be sent to the National Art Gallery.
10 If any scattered pieces of paper discarded by this class are
found on the floors, they arc to be sold as salvage, and the proceeds
used to construct a new gymnasium.
11 The happy experiences which have been ours, we now pass
on to thers, retaining only our memories which we take with us as
we go from high school.
12 We extend to each one of you our appreciation for the pa
tience, the friendship, and the aid you have shown and given lo us
while we were pupils of Harkers Island high school. We hope that
each year the school may grow better; that the school spirit will be
just as loyal as it has in the past. So, best wishes, and good-bye.

Many a widower yearns to get

On a morning in September in
the year 1944 a group of boys and
girls gathered in Harkers Island
high school to embark on a four-i
year voyage to distant lands of
strange and wondrous sights and
experiences.
This voyage was to be a personally-conducted
tour in charge of
W. S. Nicholson, our principal, as
sisted by Mrs. Fulcher and Mrs.
Davis.
The tour included f,irst a nine
month's stay in Freshman Land.
None in the, tour had ever visited
this land before and during our
st,uy we became acquainted with
the wonders of algebra labyrinth
and a few became so entangled in
its intricacies that they never
emerged.
After a summer a somewhat
smaller group assembled to em
bark for the lark on sophomore
island. The conductor of this trip
was Mrs. Fulcher (class sponsor)
Many of the assistants on this tour
were the same as those who had
looked after our needs in Fresh
man land.
Our band of students landed at
the island filled with enthusiasm.
Some hastened to scale geometry
heights and found there pleasures
of sight and intellect, although a
few did not like the rqugh gomg
and deserted the group at the first
opportunity. Many found keen
nleasure in digging into the hi-

crowded than thry had been; but
that every one who reached junior
land is afflicted with a form ol
consciousness of increased size and
importance; but this apparent only
to the traveler himself; and passes
away s soon as he leaves junior
land.
With few exceptions passports
were issued for the next tour to
Senior Haven. The next Septem
ber our group embarked upon the
last year of its tour in the good
ship Harkers Island high. As oui'
ship put off from shore, three
others also left. One was being fill
ed with smull timid boys and girls
bound for freshman 'ranty'ariblihcr
with noisv bunch off ' for" srtpho
more isle; another was being fill
ed with self important youths and
maidens off for junior continent,
storic mounds, und found there the
records of the lives of many great
men. All of the group were forced
to take a sail on English Lake and
to take frequent plunges into Oral
Bay.
1 Our next tour was to junior con
tinent. We had no sooner landed
there than the travelers began to
complain of crowded conditions.
The conductor explained that con
ditions were noj really more
The conductor explained that the
members of our group had at one
time been like each of the other
groups; but that seemed impossible.
On landing at senior haven we
were given quite a choice of places
to explore. New delights met us
on every hand. Pleasures such as
we had never dreamed were ours.
All too soon the year passed, and
the conductor called us together
for the last time, telling us we
must hasten on to make room for
others, and embark now on the
sea of life choosing our own ship
which we must sail for ourselves.
And we were left tearfully on
the -shore watching the shin H ir-
kers Island high, fade away in the
distance, with only our memories
and our diploma to recall the glad
days aboard the Harkers Island
ship H. S.
