SENIOR CLASS MASCOTS SANDRA SPENCE DAVID BIRD fast Will anb ' Testament We, the Class of 1951, on our departure from Big Island High School, in the County of Bedford, in the State of Virginia, possessing good common sense and the average amount of human intelligence, do make, publish and declare this to be our last will and testament-. To our beloved principal, Mr. G. R. Bird, we bequeath our sincere thanks for his be- nevolent guidance in helping us attain our goals. To Mrs. Wilson, our senior sponsor, we promise to pay our alumni dues and after a per- iod of ten or fifteen years send her a few thousand dollars to help pay for the aspirin and bandaids we used after each basketball game. To Mr. Oglesby, we leave exactly nine world history books to distribute among his next year ' s history class. The underlined phrases will save him a lot of explaining and also be a help to the pupils. To Miss Harris, we leave an unbroken succession of restful nights and peaceful dreams. No longer need she lie awake through the long watches of the night to worry over the un- certainty of her chemistry students, for seniors are said to be at all timesand underall con- ditions difficult to manage. But she has done her duty and verily now shall she have her re- ward . To Mrs. Eberhardt, we leave kindness and bright sunshine to keep her smiling. To Mrs. Oliver and Miss Weaver, we leave a more co-operative library group. To Mr. Callahan, we leave the memories of this, his most brilliant shop class. To the teachers of the primary grades, we leave the hope that their boys and girls may grow up to be as smart and good-looking as we are. To the JuniorClass, we leave a pair of crutches, so that in case of accidents suchas mem- bers of our class had, they will have them. To the Sophomore Class, we leave a patent paper-picker to help them to keep their room in good order. To the Freshman Class, we leave more social life at B. I. H. S. Barbara McNeely wil Is her stylish appearance to Voorheis Wright, and Norma Smith wishes to also leave to Voorheis her natural curls . Betty Hudson wills her dark and snappy eyes to Alice Wilson. Clarence Sligh wills his way with the girls to Tommy and Billy Booker. Rachel Arrington and Ethel Wilson leave their good looks and sense of humor to Mary Reynolds. Bobby Collier leaves his ability to get along with people to Charlie Sanderson. Bobby Spence wills his athletic ability to Elory Cornelius. Mildred Burks leaves her athletic ability and optimistic outlook on I ife to Dorothy Ball owe . To Joyce Collier, Ida Manley and Bobbie Noel wil I their kindnessand wil lingness to help in every activity. We give to Bobby Martin (and any other member of the Junior Class who needs it!) Jack Trevey ' s knowledge of English, Government, Geometry, and Chemistry. We trust that this great store of knowledge may be utilized. To Patsy Mitchell, goes Mary Park ' s position as Office Assistant. Bobby Patterson leaves his brown and wavy hair to Ronnie Rice. James Cox wills to Jimmy Furr his interest in Iris Routon. Testators: Mildred Burks Barbara McNeely Class Pic If is now the year 1961 . We - Mary Parks and Rachel Arrington - have been touring Europe for four years, having decided after college to travel before settling down. As we go into the ancient Spanish castle, we hear the guides whispering about a gypsy fortune teller in a nearby cave. Think- ing that this gypsy could perhaps tell us something of our high school classmates, we hire horses and ride to the cave. The gypsy, in typical garb, invites us in. Sitting before her crystal ball, she soon begins to talk slowly. She sees a copper mining company in South America; the signal is given for releasing a dynamite charge, and there comes a shout from Engineer Spence, Shoot it a mile! This expression he remembers from playing Wilbur Maxwell in school plays. As this vision passes, another comes into view, Captain Bobby Collier is in his latest rocket ship ready for another flight to Mars. In his rocket, he also has one of his inventions - a car that runs without an engine. Captain Collier makes regular flights to Mars and between flights helps Mr. Griggs, whom he has now persuaded to re- pair rocket ships rather than automobiles. As Bobby ' s rocket ship takes off, the vision fades and in its place the gypsy sees a naval base, but she is not inte rested in the base, for she is looking into the home of one of the sailors. This sailor ' s wife is none other than Bobby Noel, for after graduation, Barbara was happily married to Seaman Andrew Smith, and now cares for her home and two girls, Navy style . Now the gypsy tells us of an airplane that has just landed at La Guardia Field. What ' s so inter- esting about an ordinary airplane? weask, and the gypsy tells us that the little stewardess we see giggling is none other than Mildred Burks. It seems that Mildred joined the WAVES afterschool, but after several years of service, decided to become an airline stewardess. As Mildred and the pilot of the plane drive off in a sleek convertible, we learn that he is the Fred Overstreet we used to hear so much about. We are moch disturbed by the noise of a plane doing acrobatics just outside the cave, and learn to our surprise that it is Sabre-Jet Cox — James is now a captain in the Air Force. Re- turning to the business at hand, we find the gypsy still peering into the magic ball, and she tells us of Big Island ' s new Riverside Hospital, whose brilliant chief surgeon is Dr. John Trevey. Jack as he was known in his high school days, is still a bachelor. It seems that he just never could make up his mind which of the college girls he dated in high school it would be. The crystal ball becomes cloudy, but just for a moment, and the gypsy tells us of Norma Smith and Ethel Wilson, whoarenow the hap- pily married Mesdames Curtis Johnson and Dewey Fifer, respectively. Barbara McNeely, who was voted the best-dressed girl in the senior class, is seen by the gypsy as she comes out on the Powers ' Modeling Studio stage in New York, wearing a wedding gown that is a Paris Original. She will be using it in the near future in her own wedding, when she will marry one of New York ' s most promin- ent lawyers. After hearing all this we just sit and think of the many accomplishments of our fellow classmates. To our surprise, we are told that Betty Hudson is now an executive secretary for the Du- Pont Company in Richmond, where she went after graduation to attend business school and make her home. We were curious to hear about Ida Manley, who, we find, has finally decided on Bob as a mate . Very much satisfied that so many of our classmates have turned out so well in life, we thank the gypsy and bid her farewell. We board our ship, the Queen Mary, for home. As we are relaxing on deck, we hear a familiar peal of laughter. Yes, it is Clarence Sligh! How we remember his part- icular laugh from high school days! We turn to view Admiral Sligh and Captain Bobby Patterson, ad- miring the pretty girls on deck. Finally tearing themselves away from these interesting sights, they tell us that they decided to make a career of the Navy. My, how distinguished has been this Class of ' 51 ! we sigh as we lean back in our deck chairs to dream of what the future holds in store for us!

Having a limited membership, the Dramatic Club is made up of students chosen from the entire High School. Each year new members are chosen to fill the places of members lost through gradua- tion, transfers, and withdrawals. The responsibility of all dramatic activities rests entirely upon the Dramatic Club. In the fall it presents three one-act plays in which all members have speaking parts. One of these plays is enter- ed in the district one-act play festival held annually at Lynchburg College in the spring. Also in the spring a three-act play is produced or a production of similar nature is sponsored. The Dramatic Club has made great progress in promoting Dramatics in the school, and its goal is future progress.
