A wonderful class is ours, The class of ’32; Four years we ' ve worked together, And now our task is through. We ' ve often looked toward this day, And wished that it were near; But now we all feel strangely sad — We realize it ' s here. WOLVERINE 19 3 2 Emmett Andrews Although he came to us late in our school life, we feel that he has contributed a great deal to our class during his presence. We know that he will make the same reputation in college that he has in high school. Luck to you, Emmett! Hi-Y Club ’31-’32. Katherine Shirley Andrews Kitty’s laugh and versatile nature are con¬ tagious. She is the originator and leader of our most spirited escapades, yet she is a thorough sport and the best pal ever. Even if she is a big talker, she has talked her way into our hearts and we all love her. Girl Reserves ' 30— ' 31, ’31-’32; Glee Club ’32. Florence Virginia Arthur One could not know Florence and not like her. Her big blue-gray eyes are truly “the windows of the soul.” Florence plans to enter Fredericksburg next fall where she will specialize in commercial studies. Luck to you, Florence.

She is very studious and especially so in commercial work so that we know the man is lucky who shall call her his “stenog.” 9 WOLVERINE ;;;; 19 3 2 Douglas Blackard We wouldn’t be the least bit surprised to see Douglas end up in the diplomatic service some day, from the interest he has shown in Civics class. Go as high as you can, Douglas, all your classmates are backing you up. Science Club ’28-’29. Evelyn Frances Board As one of our attractive and talented Seniors, Evelyn may count many students of Salem Hi her friends. Her ability to sing, recite and play the piano have made her popular with both teachers and classmates. Glee Club ' 30-’31, ’31-’32; Girl Reserves ’31-’32 (Treas.). James L. Bostwick “Jim” is one of our Seniors who got here just in time to graduate. He has the ability to make splendid grades and then he has more time to keep us giggling. We wish him all the success in the world and we also wish that we had known him earlier that we might have loved him longer. Charlie A. Boxley Charlie, our one and only. Smiles, personality and jokes; they’re Charlie’s traits. He’s a true friend at all times and we are sure with these characteristics he will soon have a “Rebecca” for his “Sunnybrook Farm.” Best o’ luck, Charlie! Helen Marie Bower Helen, a quiet, unassuming Senior, is not merely just another classmate but is a sweet, ever-helping friend to all. We do not know what her plans for the future are, but we wish her luck in whatever she attempts. Home Ec.

We all hope that he will be as successful in his “music world” as he has been at Salem High. Ruth Brewer Ruth, if laughing makes you fat, beware!! Be¬ cause a new diet will have to be invented for you. If you have the blues Ruth will chase them away by that contagious little giggle of hers. Remember us, Ruth, and we’ll do the same for you. Latin Club ' 29. Garland Bruce Garland is one of our “transporte rs.” With his ready knowledge of mechanics he makes an in¬ valuable assistant in the carrying of Senior hikers back and forth to their destinations. May you succeed in other things as well as you have with your school. Ellen MacDonald Burke The merry twinkle in Ellen’s brown eyes, that immediately attract us to her, is just her good nature peeping through. So loyal and capable is she, it will be hard to find another able to fill her place at Salem Hi. Home Ec. Club ' 28-’29, ’31-’32; Girl Reserves ’30-’31; Glee Club ’30-’31; President of ’31-’32.

Mythology ’28-’30; Girl Reserves ’30-’31, ’31-’32. Pauline V. Conner Pauline is one of our finest classmates. She is rather quiet and reserved but has a swell disposition.

Bessie Lee Deel Bessie is one of Salem High’s most popular girls; always radiating fun and lots of school spirit. She has friends among both the faculty and the student body.

Robert Samuel Fisher Robert is our ideal of the qualities which make up a fine student and classmate. He has taken an active part in athletics as well as in his studies and class activities. Robert certainly will leave a vacant place in high school life when he leaves.

We wish Shirlene every speck of good luck in the world in anything she undertakes. Latin Club ’28-’29. Carter Fleshman “How’m I doin’, folks?” that’s Carter. He certainly proves the saying, “Laugh and the world laughs with you,” for he usually keeps his fellow students with wide grins on their faces. This is a real gift, though, and some day we may see Curly’s grin featured in our theaters.

We know he will succeed in this, because of the record he has made in school. He always has a word of cheer and is a willing helper to those in need. George Emerson Garst George radiates the joy of being alive. He has the jollity of spirit and the love of the great open spaces that have enriched his nature. He is not only full of fun and vivacity but is capable and bubbling over with intellect. This is why he has made such a high record here.

Gwinn “I’m nobody, who’re you?” Frank has been with us only one year, but we have all learned to know that phrase and to admire his happy, carefree nature. No one who sits near him will have the “blues” very long for he is an accomplished wit and joker. His main weakness is—? “Haven’t we said enough ?” Roy C. Hambrick Now we see why girls rave. It’s all on account of a certain wave in certain hair. But, then there’s quite a bit to Roy besides a wave that adds to his attractiveness. Best o’ luck to you, Roy. Bird Club ’28-’29; Bible Club ’31-’32. Oliver DeWitt Hartman DeWitt is a fine representative of our county classmates.

Hollyfield Paul has only been with us a year and isn’t a real, honest-to-goodness Senior, since he is taking post-graduate work.

Bronsy Hudson Bronsy is quiet and dignified, and with these prevailing traits it is difficult to know what he expects to do. He has much school spirit and an eye for fun. Bronsy is very popular with his teachers as well as his classmates, and we know he will succeed in all his undertakings. Frances Evelyn James Frances is a very quiet, sweet girl, and she has many qualities that many of her more boisterous classmates might well envy. We hope that she will be as successful in the future as she has been in her school days at S. H. S. Home Ec. Club ' 28-’29; Latin Club ’29-’30; ’30-’31. Linelle Joyner That very twinkle in Linelle’s eye just makes you want to smile, anywhere, any time. Laughter is good for the health so keep it up, Linelle.

If anyone needs any cheering up or a dash of school spirit, just call on Irene, that’s all you will need. Genave Blanche Lyerly Wavy hair, sunny smile, and a North Carolina drawl—that’s Blanche. No matter what comes up we can count on Blanche to pitch in and help us out. We expect that she will find quite a future in helping a certain gentleman along.

Lenis McGhee Our most vivid impression of Lenis is that of his labors in balancing his bookkeeping account books. It is a job, but he usually comes out on top. All you need, Lenis, to be treasurer of the United States is a little experience. Monogram Club ’31—’32; Agriculture Club; Baseball Team ' 29-’30, ’30-31. Earl Thomas Miller For the past four years we have been trying to tell the Miller twins apart. We haven’t succeeded yet, but we do know that Earl is the ideal school¬ mate. With his hearty grin he has made many friends, and we know that he will continue doing so. Mythology Club ’28-’29; Science Club ’29-’30. Richard Edward Miller Yes, this one is Richard, you really can’t tell our twins apart. They are as nearly alike in their abundant ability as in their looks, too. With such an excellent high school record, we feel that life holds nothing but success for Richard, and we hope that he receives as much as he deserves.

William Oakey William is one of our most dignified Seniors, you know. Maybe a pipe and wavy dark hair make him so. However, it is a great disappointment to quite a few of the young ladies hereabouts t at his interests seem centered west of Salem. Golf Team ’31-’32. Leo Erman Painter Leo is distinctly of the type seen, not heard, but the grades he gets are outstanding. He has plenty of school spirit too, and is a real friend to all his classmates. We are all sure that he will succeed in anything he attempts to do. Bird Club ’28-’29; Hi-Y Club ' 30- ' 31, ’31-32.

Without her the Literary Society would have been lost and she has added much to many other phases of our high-school life. Her perser- verence and versatility have been an example for all of us and if she retains these qualities through life, her success is assured.

Upon working this thought out it falls into the following plan. Green for the Freshman year. The greenest green imaginable. Poor little scared rats scattling here and there; blundering into Senior Classes and being razzed; ducking the merciless torments poured upon us by Sophomores and Juniors; asking questions and receiving misleading answers. Oh! could anyone have been as green as we ?! Next comes our Sophomore year-royal blue. The blue of lords and kings; the blue of princes and rulers; and most of all, the blue with which to welcome royalty. For our new principal, Mr. House, was certainly that! What overbearing, piggish little upstarts we must have been, justly deserving the name “Sophomore!” But it was a feeling never again to be encountered, and we are glad we experienced it. Then too, we must not forget a slightly deeper shade of blue, a mourning shade with which we felt the loss of one of our dearest friends, Ruth Stoutamire. Red for Juniors; the red of courage; the red of the conquerer; and even more the orange-red tints of fire. We were filled with determination and purpose. We must go to the heights, and we must work to get our start. Then came the awful fire which partly destroyed our school building. Will we ever forget the leaping red flames against the cold, wintery night sky, or the crowded days following, when we went to school without a school; the many tardies and excuses. O, what a year! For our Senior year, it is fitting to use our school colors, blue and white. The blue for sincerity and loyalty and the white for purity of purpose and character. We feel that even though we are not able to reach the top, we have our place, and our duty is to fill that place to the best of our ability. We know too, that if we are to do our best, we must keep pure in mind, body, and spirit and towards this end we will strive, since it and whatever goal we have are one. 34 WOLVERINE ' 32 THE WOLVERINE V O l .

Alas! we had reckoned without consideration of that menacing host, the Sophomores. The memory of the “per¬ formances” demanded of us poor little harmless rats lingers with us still. That year was a perpetual surprise party. Those heartless assignments! We made history, we multiplied heartaches, we dissected our self-importance, translated our laughter into tears and declined all that made life worth while. Sadder but wiser we survived the struggle. At last we were Sophomores! The history of that year was unique and varied. We owned the earth. Education? Why seek it? We represented the sum total of all the knowledge of the ages, of all the tribes and nations of the civilized world. And still the wonder grew that our small heads could carry all we knew. We must not forget the varied impressions we made upon the unfortunate rats—vengeance is sweet. All went well until final exams. Then our vaunted knowledge vanished and many found a Waterloo. If only those terrible exams could be relegated to that barbarous past from which they came. In this year, also, our school building burned. Our school board was equal to the occasion, however, and arrangements were promptly made for us to hold classes in the various churches and other available places throughout the town. During the spring and summer our high school was rebuilt and was ready for us in Sep¬ tember. Stop, look and listen! Now we are Juniors! Many of our comrades have fallen by the wayside, some the victims of cupid’s arrow, some slain in Caesars battles, some asphyxiated with indolence, some to whom present comfort outweighs future attainments, and some whose horizon had not broadened as they climbed. But our broken ranks represent many, who are making records in classes and other school activities which reflect credit upon them and old Salem High. Oh! proudly now we hail the class of mighty fame, A class fo dear to every heart which bears its name, Oh! let us pledge in loving words and noble deeds The love that far and wide our eager lives shall speed While here within our Alma Mater ' s sacred walls Full many a cheer shall ring for “ Junior " through her halls. •Cf 39 } WOLVERINE 19 3 2 Class Poem We Juniors in the class Of nineteen-thirty-two , As tortured rats and haughty Sophs Have labored two years through.

Some evidence of this is given by the fact that in only two games of the season was it beaten by more than one touchdown. Although the team, as a whole, lacked weight and experience, it made a worthy name for itself in conference circles as a hard, clean-fighting team. One of the high lights of the entire season was the game with Maury High at Norfolk. While outweighed to a man, in some cases as -much as twenty pounds, the Salem team played great defensive ball and held Maury scoreless till the final minutes of the game. Against Jefferson the Salem team played in a fine game but were repulsed by the famous “ Jefferson Jinx,” this time in the form of Father Time. When only a few yards away from the tying score, the game ended. The most thrilling contest from the spectator’s point of view was the game with Danville. Trailing in the final minute, 6-0 the Wolverines scored, only to have the ball called back. Undaunted, Short, Salem quarter, tossed a pass to Woodson to tie the score just as the game ended. Prospects for the next year’s team seem particularly bright as there will be nearly all of the seconds and several of the first team back. Short, Freshman quarter back, looks good for coming seasons, and Saul and Eades should be ready by next season. In the line there will be Mowles, Philpott, Tyler and Brown from this year’s team and Slough, Via, Altizer and Stevenson ready to fill any vacancy. Burke, back from Greenbriar, may get the guard post left by the graduation of Fisher. Although not a successful team in regard to games won, Salem placed J. Cross¬ white on the All-State, at end while Brown, at guard, received honorable mention. First Team Crosswhite. Philpott... Fisher. Price. Brown. Tyler. Mowles. .. . Short. Woodson. . . Maury.

Forced to depend upon the generosity of Roanoke College for a practice as well as a playing floor, lacking any real student support and play¬ ing away from home a large portion of the time, the team could hardly be expected to be a winning one. A high spot of the entire season was the Wolverine’s conquest of Jefferson High’s Magicians on their own court early in the season. That night the whole team played inspired ball, their best performance of the year, and seemingly smothered all attacks with ease. The final score was 22-12. This was the first time in several seasons that any Salem basket ball team had accomplished such a thing, either on their own or Jefferson’s court. During several other games the team showed flashes of splendid form but never again did their efforts reach such a peak. Crosswhite and Maury, along with some reserves will be lost by graduation but they will leave behind them Robertson, a first class center who may return, Martin, a center and forward and Brown, a very dependable guard. Barnett, Altizer and two or three others of this year’s reserves should be fine material for next year’s team. Our new playing floor should be complete in time for the 1933 basket ball season and it is hoped that with its advent some of the old “Hi School Spirit” and loyal student support will return. { G6 } WOLVERINE «« 1932 I V ' l 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 | 4 | | ] 4 V’ K 14 i iA o 4 i Established 1850 4 1 Gittens Kime I Smead Webber Incorporated 4 | incorporated «S| Insurance 1 ‘‘The Store of Service” Real Estate [ j Prescription Druggists Loans 4 | © © © Q 1 T © © © 4 220 East AIain Street 4 120 EAST MAIN STREET 4 | ’Phone 50 4 4 SALEM, VIRGINIA SALEM, VIRGINIA QUALITY ABOVE ALL Herff=Jones Company DESIGNERS AND MANUFACTURERS OF HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE JEWELRY AND COMMENCEMENT INVITATIONS Official Jewelers to Salem High School 4 G8 } - |OI ▼▼▼▼▼▼▼ V VW Wv W WVArVWW WWW O O o o o o o o o si o o o o o o o s o o o o o o • o o o o o o ► o ► WOLVERINE » ■ 19 3 2 ROANOKE COLLEGE Founded 1853 SALEM, VIRGINIA FULLY ACCREDITED + + + Member Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools of the Southern States + + + B.
