She was elected by the Senior Class as the most athletic girl. We may leave her with her favorite expression, “Well, good night.” 14 THELMA BoarRD CRAWFORD “Boots” Jefferson Society, ’27; Athletic Associa- tion, ’25, ’26, ’27; Class Prophet. “Boots” is a jolly good girl always ready to lend a helping hand to one in trouble. She is very enthusiastic especially when Math is the subject, and was elected the most studious girl in the Class of ’27. Emory CunpiFF, JR. “Buster” Athletic Association, ’26, ’27; Baseball, 25: Basket-ball, ’24, °25. “Buster” has a smile on his face, a sym- pathetic feeling in his heart and his hands in his pockets.

Mattie ErizasetTH Evans CGH I ieee Lee Society, ’27; Athletic Association, ’26, 0 te oe Elizabeth has not been with us very long, but she is a girl unassuming, modest, and refined; with gentle dignity which adds charm to her sweet disposition. To those who do not know her, she appears indiffer- ent. Haze, ALice Fincu “Hage” Reporter Lee Society, ’27; Athletic As- Onna), Ao 27. “Quiet in appearance with motive un- known.” Hazel received the decision of her class- mates as the sweetest girl in the class. With a friendly word and a smile for each, “Haze” will win her way, not by smiles only, for her work as a student attests her ability to match brains with the world. MINNIE BerTHA FRAZIER “Bert” Jefferson Society, ’27; Athletic Associa- TION ZOme Ae ClitoniansomtherG@lassTotuc . “Small but loved by all.” Bert, the ‘cutest eirl of our class, has always had a quiet, dignified and sincere air, which causes all to love her, yet she is full of life. Farewell, “Bert,” may you be successful in whatever you choose for your life’s work.

He is “Handy” enough when it comes to taking part in athletics. HERBERT ANSLEM FRAZIER “Hurt” Jefferson Society, ’27; Basket-ball, °26 27; Athletic Association, ’26, ’27. “Hurt” was elected the wittiest in the class and is very humorous and_ kind- hearted.

He is a studious boy, not neglectful of his studies for athletics. He is popular with the ladies, and his unselfishness won the hearts of the whole school. We wish him success and happiness as he leaves us, RutH PaAuLineE MEACHAM “Buddie”’ Athletic Association, ’26, ’27; Treasurer of Classes, “26, 27; Secretary Lee Society, '27; Basket-ball, ’26; Business Manager of THE NUNTIUS. “Buddie,” the valedictorian of our class, possesses perseverance and determination which enables her to accomplish whatever she attempts. Depth of character; purity of heart; dependable and perputal readiness to measure up—these outstanding character- istics are “Buddie’s.” “The longer you know her The sweeter she grows, She is a good pal Wherever she goes.” WiLittrAM ALEXANDER Morris Bill Athletic Association, ’26, ’27; Lee Society, 27; Art Editor of THE Nuntius; Class Poet, 2 ; “Bill,” although he has but followed along the stream of this High School for two years, has shown and proved himself to be a studious and helpful classmate.

Motto: “Reserved, like a good opera seat.” EVELYN EARLEENE PICKREL “Bobbie” Class Secretary, °27;°Critic of Les So- ciety, 27; Advertising Editor of Tue Nuntius; Athletic Association, ’26, ’27. Here is our little five-foot “Bobbie,” whom we recognize by her favorite expres- sion, “I don’t know,’ but she really does know. Quiet and self-pcssessed, with a cheerful disposition and a_ pleasing per- sonality. She possesses that rare personal magnetism that endears her to her friends and classmates alike. “Bobbie” was elected by unanimous vote the prettiest girl of our class. Yes, she is small, but so was the richest pearl of priceless value. 17 RosELLE TAYLOR PICKREL “Pick” Football, ’25, 26; Basket-ball, ’25, ’26, ’27 ; President Athletic Association, ’26, '27; Treasurer Lee Society, ’27; Assistant Busi- ness Manager of THE NUNTIUS. “Pick,” one of our best athletes, has a serene dignity that baffles analysis, and an easy-going manner that has won for him many friends, especially among the girls. “T glory in my independence.” HAMPTON OLIVER POWELL “Hamp” President Student Government; President Lee Society, ’27; Vice-President of Class of 27; Athletic Association, ’26, ’27; Editor- in-Chief of THE NunrtIvs. “Hamp” was elected the most handsome of our class and is one of our greatest and most eloquent speakers. He possesses a determination of attaining a high rank in whatever he undertakes. He is not always serious and thoughtful, but is ready for pleasure at the proper time. Add to all these qualities his pure heart and clean character, then you have our unforgetable Silampe SARAH Kirk RowBoTHAM “Sarah Kirk” Athletic Association, ’26, ’27; Jefferson Society, ’27. ‘ Sarah Kirk is one of the class favorites. She has a smile and a word of fun for everyone. She takes life as it comes and makes the best of it. In singing, she sur- passes all other members of the class. BAXTER JEFFERSON ROUNTREY “Bax” _Lee Society, ’27; Athletic Association, ’26, 27; Baseball, ’26; Representative of Student Government, ’27. Although “Bax” is a little bashful in re- gard to the opposite sex, he, nevertheless,is admired by everyone. Baxter is an ac- complished mathematician and we may say a great genius when it comes to drawing geometrical figures. He always makes a great success at anything he attempts. RicHARD POWELL SMITH “Sugar” Jefferson Society, 27; Athletic Associa- tion, 26, ‘27; Football, ’26; Basket-ball, ’26, TH Richard Smith, popularly known as “Sug- ar,’ has been in the class since the First Grade. J Although a sheik, he is often blushing when around the fair sex. “Sugar” is the center of the “wrecking crew,” and the steadiest floor-walker on that quintet. STAFFORD ELLIs WILBURN “Shorty” Athletic Association, ’26, 27; Football, ’25. ’26; Basket-ball, ’25, ’26, ’27; Baseball, ’24, 25; Jefferson Society, ’27. “Shorty” has been with us for a long time and is very popular with the opposite sex. He is always joking, but not in football, as he has proved to us, having been elected captain of the team of ’26. His athletic ability and jolly manner have made him a friend of all who know him. HattTigE ELIzABETH WITT “Hattie Jefferson Society, 27; Athletic Associa- TlOmeCONNee Ane basket-ballee:20. 2 7 Ltrack. One 7a “Hattie” has not been with us long but nevertheless she is very dear to us all. She is very refined and dignified, and never talks much in school. We are sure that “Hattie,” with her quiet and dignified air, will make good in future life. AvELL Patrik WorLEY “Red” Athletic Association, ’26, '27; Lee Society, hie “Everyone who knows her, likes her.” Is that not enough? She is always de- pendable, sensible and reliable. We are in- deed fortunate to have in our class one so loyal and ready to lend a helping hand as Adell. 19 Frep LAVILLON YEATTS “Freddie” Athletic Asociation, ’26, ’27; Lee Society, ah “Who's there?” Why, it’s Freddie, the sheik of the class. Freddie, during study periods is as idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean, but nevertheless when it comes to getting good marks, he is up with most any of us. EpituH Kyte YEATTS . exacos Athletic Association, ’26, ’27; Treasurer Jefferson Literary Society; Histcrian of Classvot @2 5 Kyle is one of our neat, quiet, modest, re- fined Seniors. Because of her calm disposi- tion and gentle manner, she is very much admired. She is always anxious to hear a Bell, but-not a “bell that rings.” +h — HW RADUATING CLASSES naturally imagine that “the whole world” is impressed with one thing of paramount importance, and that is, “The Graduating Class” it- self. This imagination we fully share with an onlooking and enthusiastic creatioa, as if the earth is intended to be made just for this year because of us. With the Historian, the following entered the First Grade and are together as the nucleus of the Class of ’27: Josephine Cundiff, Bertha Frazier, Guy Burnette, Baxter Rountrey, Richard Smith and Herbert Frazier. To these, others were added each year until our number is now thirty. Our career in the Grammar Grades is so eclipsed by our present exalted position thai things, impertant enough then, are a vague recollection; and when we emerged from the lesser stage of study, like butterflies from the chrysalis, there was never, in our opinion, a more am- bitious class than we, nor one whose anticipations are greater. May we hold fast to this! During our four years of High School, teachers have come and gone, but at present the instructors are: Mr. R. C. Childs, principal for the fifth year; Miss Juliet Fauntleroy, whom we met in our first days in the grades; Miss Phillips, instructor in mathematics and Latin; Mrs. Rowbotham, instructer in English, and Mrs. Arthur, who was Miss Milam, instructor in Spanish. We, who are now Seniors, assembled in the fourth year room on the morn of September 15, 1926, in order to put forth our best efforts to end our High School career successfully. Our class was organized during the first days of the session by our electing the following officers: Guy Burnette, who served so well during the year as Junior Class president, was re- elected president; Hampton Powell, vice-president; Evelyn Pickrel, secretary, and Ruth Meacham, treasurer. : _ Under the care of our five helpful instructors, and the assistance of the four officers, we are laboring sttenuously-for oir reward—a diploma ! All the time we are striving to live up to our class motto, which is, “Out of the quiet harbor into the billowy sea.” Some of us are still wondering what the “quiet harbor” may be, and are hoping that the sea will not be too billowy when we launch forth, but just enough so to keep us alert. And so, after four years of varied experience, we come to our final end, which is looking forward to that new land, that new field, still unconquered, and untried; the land which fol- lows the land of graduation. — fue w « ¢ te ; to 2-eZ F yy Zz DP oo $ 3 oe ( C- ¥ va Ss WC ; : ——— _ 21 ‘ A¢GE—- 5 J 4 + ; Oe coe Fe 9 j ; Px = py) , ) 7 Ge-- Lo, : a v f , —_—T g } j f 2G f ,� , 42-— ) he pe as o JL? 4 a — 4 pet A ih i. { wv ere - os ma EVER can I forget the day, just ten years ago, when I graduated from “ole” Alta- vista High School in the Class of ’27.. How different things are since then. Where are all of my former classmates? I have no idea of their whereabouts except that of Bertha Frazier, who is now in a foreign country teaching the black heathen to be Christians. [I wonder if I shall see her again. Some days ago I started to travel and arriving in Austin, Texas, I went to hear a great preacher; yes, a second “Billy Sunday,” who, without a doubt was Guy Burnette. The choir had some wonderful singers, among whom I recognized Mary Hogan and Hazel Finch. I left Texas to go to Colorado and on the train someone grabbed my hand. Who could it be but Herbert Frazier, a salesman for an automobile factory in Iowa. In Denver I met an old acquaintance, Alice Burnette, who is established in a fashionable beauty parlor and has made a reputation for her “permanent waves.” [ had a glorious time in Colorado, resting at the magnificent farm of Olen Jones, and his little wife, and I heard again the old jokes he told in ’27. Stopping in San Francisco I heard a lecture to college students which I greatly enjoyed and more so when I discovered it was our former classmate, William Morris. From San Francisco I sailed through the Panama Canal to New York, where I ran into Richard Smith and Fred Yeatts. They own a large store and have been very successful. While here | met Emory Cundiff, who is an interior decorator, and whose prosperity seems well assured. Leaving New York in a friend’s automobile we stopped at a pretty little farmhouse to get directions andthe little lady who came to the door was none other than our “Class Beauty,” formerly known as Evelyn Pickrel and now the happy-looking wife of a “Farmer.” In the late afternoon I saw two very familiar faces; guess who they were? By an old mill stream sat Josephine Cundiff, sketching the “setting sun,” while lounging near at hand was Beverly Arthur, whistling a merry tune; but why he was there he wouldn’t tell. In Washington I heard Hampton Powell, who is now a great orator, giving an oration on “Prohibition” to many interested listeners in the city auditorium. Returning to Altavista |] met Frank Harmon, who is now quite a successful doctor, and to my surprise I found Adell Worley and Kyle Yeatts teaching in our school. Sarah Rowbotham also has taught here four years but is now married and living in Roanoke. Ze Roselle Pickrell is a prosperous lawyer and gives as much of his time as he can spare pleading his case in the “court of hearts,” presided over by one of the girls [ heard singing in a Texas choir; no, not Hazel Finch, the other one. Baxter Rountrey is the leading architect of what once was “our little town,’ which is now quite a bit of a city. Elizabeth Evans is happily married and comfortably domiciled in a beautiful little bungalow. Stafford Wilburn gives Charleston lessons in his studio and is one reason “why girls leave home.” Ruth Meacham, I hear, has succeeded in vamping all the boys in her home town. She went to Ohio and captured a sheik and they have both become very demure and home-loving folks. I forgot to mention that we went to a championship basket-ball contest while in Wash- ington, and among the players on these famous teams were our own Marie Burnette and Hattie Wit, while on the men’s quintet were Worthington Palmer, Wilbur Mattox, and Hancock Frazier. And so my prophecy ends with the wish and hope that each member of the Class of ’27, in his own way, may be as successful as has been imagined by THe Propuet (Thelma Crawford). 4a E, the Senior Class of Altavista High School, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred twenty-seven, ere we start on our voyage upon the billowy seas of life, filled with hardships and troubles, are reminded that we are leaving behind a great family, our teachers who have acted as mothers and fathers, teaching us with untiring efforts, and our schoolmates too, with whom we have been so long associated and whom we have loved as brothers and sisters. To them we look with sadness as we part. As material evidence of our love and affection for them, we make known this, our Last WILL and TESTAMENT. As an expression of our esteem for those who have worked so hard to put us through school and to the Faculty we will severally as follows: To the School Board and to Mr. J. J. Fray, the Division Superintendent, we will our hearty thanks for all they have done in our behalf, and wish a greater success for the future. To Mr. Childs, our beloved principal, who is enshrined in the hearts of us all, we will our most valuable possessions which are four straight lines of High School pupils with smiles on their faces and a noiseless tread; the most up-to-date megaphone with which to call “straighten that line” in case of necessity, and last but not least, “the most up-to-date bungalow for two.” To Mrs. Arthur Rowbotham, who to our minds is the best English teacher in the world, and who has taken much irterest in the progress of the Seniors, we will a safety vault in the First National Bank in which she may x‘ keep all parallel books and scrap books safe from curious eyes. To Miss Helen Phillips, our Math teacher, who_has-neyer failed_to-solvethe-problems—that we Could-net-we will a compass” made large enough to-draw.circles on the blackboard, and_an_assortment of solid geometrical} figufés. To Miss Juliet Fauntleroy, our History teacher, who has forgotten moré history than | we will ever learn, we will a variety of antique furniture and a collection of arrowheads. r Fs me . ; ° ,, =n . 6 To Mrs. C. F. Arthur, our Science and Spanish teacher, we will a pair of handcuffs, a detective badge and the right to arrest all boys that she catches misbehaving. w Aik 24 !

In Latin: Judging from the picture, why isn’t “Sic Semper Tyrannis” translated “Get off of my neck?” In Chemistry: Our body is eighty-five per cent water and fifteen per cent ash and phos- phorous, and that in turn can be dissipated into gas and vapor. Where do we get from there? In English Literature: Learn the life of “Dickens, Howitt, Burns” (Dickens, how it burns!) and see if it doesn’t scratch you. Al es _ ae Math: Learn to divide by long multiplication. cd Pens In Science: Our poet wants to know, = And he will ask it without fail, a ee Did ever any of our ancestors a ante Hang from a limb by his tail? ———— To the four years of High School we will the following: To the Freshmen the honor of ringing the bell and raising the flag of Mr. Childs, and washing the blackboards for the Senior Class. To the Sophomores the best classroom in school for next year. To the Juniors, a brand new edition of Webster’s Dictionary, to b e used as a mascot during the whole year. By request of the Senior Class of ’26 we will to the coming Seniors, to be transmitted by them to their successors and so on, ad infinitum, our record as students and our marks for deportment, trusting that where we have erred they may amend, where we have failed they may succeed, and that each succeeding class may excel its predecessors in things worth while. We hereby appoint Irene Blackwell as executrix of this, our Last WiLL and TESTAMENT as we feel that she will faithfully perform the duties of such an office. We hereby affix our seal this thi rty-first day of May in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and twenty-seven. , Baxter Rountrey, Testator. Witnesses Thereof: GraAHAM McCartney, of the Freshmen.

Many came and went as we passed along through the grades and on reaching the first year of High School, six of our present members were added to us. When we at last reached the First Year High, we found our beloved teacher of the First Grade, waiting to welcome us. In her characteristic, pa- tient, helpful manner she made the stern, new ways of the High School easier _for us, and never failed to lend us helpful and sympathetic aid in whatever might be the circumstances. Our second year was spent under the care of Miss Helen Phillips, our new assistant principal.

Here we found four members of the Sophomore Class of ’26 waiting to give us a warm welcome and to initiate us into the ways of the former Sopho- more Class. To this number we added Leona Walden and Alexander Withers from Hurt; Amy Dalton and Gordon Ephineas Owen from Leesville and Leta Adams from the neighborhood. Amy with her quiet and reserved manner we hardly knew to be in the room except when she recited. Occasionally we would hear a whisper or two come across the aisle from our other new members, Leta and Leona. Such was not the case with Gordon and Alex, for they must always be both seen and heard. To Roy Meacham, the baby and only boy in the “original seven” who 7 7 y co} had come through the grades together, has been given the honor of class presi- dent. Further honors were bestowed upon the class by having as president of the Jefferson Literary Society, Anne Shawen, and as a member of the student council, Elsie Eades. The following are members of the “4 H” club; Leta Adams, Thelma Pickrel, Virginia Burnette, Mary Morgan, Bessie Carr, Louise Johnson, with Elizabeth Price as president of the club and Anne Shawen as secretary. Our class is the only one 1n school to have among its number a handsome pair of twins so much alike that even the teachers could not tell which was Dallas and which was Doval. We wish to record our appreciation of our High School teachers who are in order of their classes, Miss Helen Phillips, Mrs. Arthur Rowbotham, Osiss Juliet Fauntleroy and our principal, Mr. R. C. Childs. 3 We hope during the rest of our High School course to maintain the same : { good record for studious habits and good behavior that-was.ours last year. {g ieee Ee eee ee ee are a ELIzABETH Price, Historian. 34 ca a et R | ¢ VOU binpe x) VOL ee (FNEZ7S HI AT IN ALTER A LE | FRESHMAN. ote Se ND nl Ve C(HNIARE Freshman Class Flower: White Rose Colors: Blue and White Motto: “Truth conquers all things” OFFICERS COR ATTA M SIVIC (DAR TING Yur ns tte. eke Oe oe ee President DEVERLE VEE VVILRINSO NG te eee ee Vice-President MES BORN As (a cl ae oe beeen eRe Renee eet ok Canine Ween Secretar Eel Tee Hu Nee PAIN Pode Ap er eet ye Ce SURI Eee A Fd Treasurer MEMBERS Helen Lane Samuel Mattox Graham McCartney Earl McCormick Lawrence McCormick Ethel Anthony Lillian Arthur Frances Barrett Vernie Bobbitt James Burnette Evelyn Dameron Gracie Davis Velma Doss John East Edward English Virginia Finch Durwood Fitzgerald Frank ['razier Margaret Hall Lacey Hamblett Warren Hillsman Carl Holt Margaret Jones Myrtle Jones Russell [Kelly Josephine Lancaster 37 James Meacham Lemma Owen Thelma Owen Woodrow lichardson Cordie Smith Lena Smith Maude Smith Shirley Snyder Virginia Vaughan Douglas Walden Dorothy West Estelle Wilburn Beverley Wilkinson Charlie Wilson Mixon Wood Elmo Yeatts Freshman History ey N one bright September morning of the year 1918 this class entered 1% the first grade of A. H. S.. The little chairs, the little tables, the Peed blackboards and many other things that we seldom notice now, ab- sorbed ottr attention at this time. Our teacher, Mrs. Levisee, took a great deal of interest in us, and helped us over our first difficulties. At the end of our first school year most of us were promoted to the Sec- ond Grade. The few that were left along the wayside were practically all re- placed by new pupils. Miss Annie Kate Davis, our Second Grade teacher, worked very hard over us and made the rough places smoother. Most of us were promoted to the Third Grade where we met Miss Ethel Hancock. Again we were very fortunate in our teacher, and Miss Ethel taught us the all-important lesson of keeping quiet in school. Miss Bettie Burton took charge of us in the Fourth Grade, taught us our first lesson in History and Geography, and saw us safely through to the Fifth Grade. Here we met Mrs. Richardson, a Kentuckian, and a new comer to our town. While we were unaccustomed to being so strictly super- vised and found it hard at first, we soon understood, and learned to love and appreciate this new teacher from the Blue Grass Region of Kentucky. In our Sixth Grade, we were not so fortunate, for we wandered about like orphans, as it were, seemingly with no one to love us. Four different teachers taught us during this term, but finally succeeded in landing us in the Seventh Grade where we found ourselves a class of thirty-nine pupils under the care of Mrs. C. J. Short, who worked faithfully to get us into High School. The beginning of the term °26 and °27 found thirty-seven of us entering upon our duties as High School Freshmen with eleven new pupils from out- lying schools added to our number. So now we are a class of fifty-five, with “The will to do and the soul to dare.” —“WiILtiAmM Rountrey, Historian.

Many ridiculous situations, such as the humorous roll call, the “crap” game and the location of the lost collar button, afforded ample merriment during the evening. Each member of the cast proved himself an amateur of no mean ability. The cast of characters follows: Osbey Mattox, as “Hooten Scruch’. Worthineton (Palmer, “as Salt IN. sPeppers lerberte trazienaras “Pete Rolum 7; Stattord Wilburn, as) Jinx Kibosh’; Olen) |ones™ase A louas Bie” ; Dick Lane, as “Toss Up Bones”; Hancock Frazier, as “Scoop M. Inn’; Guy Burnette, as “Hickory Nut’; Beverly Arthur, as “Heekin Hysome;’ Wilbur Mattox, as ‘““Willie Grow” ; Roselle Pickrel, as ““Noah Lott’; and Rich- ard Smith, as “Confederate.” Between acts a chorus composed of High School girls, some of whom were attired in male garb, rendered ‘“Baby-Face,” “Alabama Bound,” “In My Gondola,” “Bye-Bye Black-Bird,” “But I Do, You Know I Do.’ Anne Shawen gave a reading number, ‘Miss Melindy Johnson.” The program as a whole was very attractively presented, and the Class of ’27 deserves full credit for its preparation. 56 The School Song Sing we to our dear old High School Long may she ever stand; her name Inthroned in song and story Abroad through the land.
