The class of ’32 which I have watched over for many years has graduated, and you’ve no idea how re- lieved I feel. You see, ever since they began their quest for knowledge with Miss Jamison and Miss White for teachers, I have cared for them. Among those who Started to school in September, 1921, were Ruth Rose, Yannie Broadwater, Ruth Sergent, Charlotte Taylor, Margaret Cartwright, Lucille Thompson, A. L. Witt, Mary Mullins, Andrew Thompson, Bruce Cummings, Margaret Masters, James Collier, Anne Claire Kennedy, and Rita Gilly. These pupils completed their work satisfactorily each year and are now members of the Senior Class. In addition to these pupils there were many added during the years in which they struggled to reach the seventh grade. Those who joined the class during those years are Mae Phillips, Rubye Yeary, Virginia Witt, Christine Kelly, Gladys Sproles, Jimmy Dawson, Evelyn Reasor, Agnes Potter, Edith Giles, and Vergie Moore. Thus, with many new students added, they graduated from the seventh grade, receiving their certificates with a feeling of pride and importance because they were to enter high school. This class entered high school with Miss Slemp and Mrs. Ewing as advisers. Of course, these pupils were green and soon realized the fact themselves with the ( Continued on page 35) [ 22 ] Archie Hamblert l!

S. G. Hello, students and citizens of Big Stone Gap, I shall now present to you a brief history of the Junior Class. This class, with an enrollment of twenty- three, completed a successful year. The first activity of the class was their chapel plays entitled “Sue-em” and “The Fatal Love Affair,” which were also presented at the Kiwanis Club. Later, they gave a minstrel from which they secured money to be used in publishing their edition of the School Bell next year. This work was accomplished with the able assistance of Miss Virginia Huff, the class adviser. The Juniors were well represented in athletics. Several boys from this class were out for football and three members served on the varsity team, they arc: Robert Mumpower, Bascom Barron, and James Whited. The captain, Robert Mumpower, and the captain-elect, Bascom Barron, are members of this class. When the all-county team was announced, the Juniors found two members enrolled : Robert Mumpower, all-county center, and Bascom Barron, all-county second team fullback. The Juniors were also represented in basket-ball by Bascom Barron, Robert Mumpower, and Bascom Maness, all members of the varsity team. The man- ager, James Whited, was also selected from this class. The Junior girls known in the field of athletics are: Captain Kellie Mae Herron, Anne Rogers, and Hazel Lambert. It is a custom for the Juniors to entertain the Seniors with a reception. The Juniors of ’32 had an attractive and unusual party. The party was given the first day of April, and many April fool stunts were carried out. The party represented a Cabaret with songs, dances, and jokes between courses. Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen of the radio audience, you have heard the annual broadcast of the Junior history by Professor Killtime. This program was brought to you by the courtesy of The School Bell over Station B. S. G. We bid you a pleasant farewell until this station is on the air at this same time next year. — James Whited, ’33.

Winslow Ortley Wolfe Marjorie Winston )§ opf)omore Class Jlistorp Outline of Ancient and Modern History of the Sophomore Colony McElroy, elected from the aristocratic party as adviser to the people’s party, is noted for her success in guiding the colonists this year. Blaylock, preceded by himself and Morris as leaders of the people’s party, led the army so ably and well in the attack for the sheepskin that it is generally thought two more attacks upon the aristocratic party will be sufficient to force them to surrender. Willis and Taylor share the honors for being the greatest secretaries of the State the continent has ever known. Morris and Cliestnutt are noted for saving the colony from financial embarrassment and distress. Kelly, Blaylock, Collier, Willis, Potter and Guntner have brought fame to the colony by their athletic prowess, while Winston, Potter and Morris have worked hard to keep up the record. Most Important Dates and Battles September, 1930. First settlement made on Big Stone Gap High School continent, from this date on the colonists have been in almost continual war. The battles fought (causes for which are very unusual) have been in three groups: Those fought over a pigskin, those over a sheepskin and those over our skins. All. of the skins are very precious and cherished greatly by the colonists. 1. Battles for the Pigskin Fall, 1930-1931. Sometimes successful; sometimes defeated. 2. Battles for Our Skins September, 1930. Against combined forces of all other students. Home colony beaten. September, 1931. Against the same colonies. Home colony successful. 3. Battles for the Sheepskin Very frequent and intermixed with numerous skirmishes against aristocratic party. In 1934, another war between the people and the rulers is rumored, in which it is hoped the people will be successful, which will free them entirely from the aristocratic rulers. — Winston, ’34. opf)omore Class Colors Flower Orange and Black Japanese Sun Flower Motto “To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield” OFFICERS Felix Parrot President Beatrice Whited..

We believe in units and in working together for a future victory. During this year the Sophomores have tackled many hard things and have come out victorious. We feel that our success has been due largely to our most able adviser, ] I iss Maude Glenn, and to our class officers. On account of the Sophomore group being so large again this year, the class was divided into two sections. Miss Katherine McElrov has charge of the other group. Our class gave very enjoyable chapel programs during the year. One of which was “Wisdom Teeth,” a comedy. Another was “When George and Martha Returned,” a colonial play. Both were greatly enjoyed by both the patrons and student body. In these programs talent as well as training was greatly displayed. The class took an active part in athletics during the season, both in basket- ball and football. Along with the school activities this year quite a number of social affairs have been added, much to the enjoyment of the students. The majority of the football boys were taken from our Sophomore classes. They are James Combs, Felix Parrot, Paul Trent, Junior Shelton, Earl Kelly, Arnold Blaylock, and Roy Willis. The Big Stone football boys won honors for our school, losing only one game, that to Norton High. During the basket-ball season our boys and girls, under the coaching of Miss Slemp and Mr. Kagin, played hard for the honors of our school. As a whole the class possesses quite a bit of musical and dramatic talent. Gwendolyn Winslow is our class pianist and Ralph Callahan has the honor of being our soloist. In dramatics, Max Graber is the class Romeo and Mattye Shermon, the coy heart-breaker. Beatrice Whited is the nurse and Charles Smith the dignified impersonator of George Washington. Then there is Hope Brown, who can carry a part or coach a play either. Individually and wholly we believe in our class motto, “To strive, to seek, to find and not to yield.” In the broader field of life we hope to apply the lessons it contains and inspired by its message strive on to the goal of a happy, useful life.

However, they worked hard and whole-heartedly entered into the activities of the school. Lucille Thompson received the U. D. C. medal given to the pupil who made the highest average in her work in high school. During this year two students were added to the class. Berenice Qualls and Archie Hamblen. The following year Margaret Honeycutt joined the class. During that year they were advised by Mr. Elliot and Miss Rice. In the Junior year the class was honored by one of the memlcers. Anne Claire Kennedy, re- ceiving the 1 ' . D. C ' . medal for the best essay on The Arrest, Imprisonment and Release of Jefferson Davis.” During this year Harold Hatcher l ecame a member of the class. Miss Wimbish was the class adviser. Then the final year, 1931-1932, brought us three pupils, Ruth and Lucile Clarkston, and Arthur Hubbard. The class adviser who helped them in preserving their dignity and attaining their goal was Mrs. Ewing. Second Elf: That is enough for the general routine of those years, hut what of the members of this class, have they not distinguished themselves? First Elf: To be sure, they have been represented in all school activities: in football by A. L. Witt, Andrew Thompson, and Arthur Hubbard; in track by A. L. Witt and Arthur Hubbard; in basket-ball by James (oilier. The girls who have distinguished themselves in basket-ball are Ruth and Lucile Clarkston, Ruth Sergent, Virginia Witt, Margaret Cart- wright, and Nannie Broadwater. Not only did this class enter athletics but also it has become distinguished because of the splendid scholastic records of Lucille Thompson, Nannie Broad- water, Ruth Rose, Christine Kelly, and others. In addition to this, the class has been able to complete its work because of the cooperation of the other members and their willingness to help at all times. Second Elf: Indeed, the members of this class have been very efficient in all school activities. First Elf: Yes, and because of that it has been a real pleasure to care for them as they struggled to become the Senior Class of ’32.

This seemingly undue exhibition of their vim and vigor is an introduction to the opening- season of Buccaneer gridiron warfare. The season of ’31 was opened with a few old timers, a number of new applicants, and plenty of hard work for them all. The team was swiftly whipped into shape for the coming conflicts by the excellent coaching of “Big Bill’’ Kagin, who a few years ago, proved his ability in this same position. The almost new team soon proved its ability to live up to records set by the Buccaneers of former school days by emerging from the confusion and tangle of their first game, leaving Gate City on the little end of a 43-0 score. They showed greater promise of future glory when they took Wise to the tune of 33-0 to win their first county game. Their third victory came after a hard battle with Coeburn, when a lone touch- down left them battered, but victorious. Their next encounter was with the strong Jonesboro eleven from which they emerged with the scant margin of 26-24 when the final whistle blew. In an early morning game the following Saturday, St. Paul was passed by a 7-0 score which left the Blue and Gold still clear. The victory that crowned the season as a succes s took place the following Satur- day when they sent their old rivals, the Appalachia Bull Dogs, down in defeat by a score of 7-0. Their lone score early in the game could not be overcome by the heavy Appalachia High School warriors. East Stone went down easily before the Bucccaneers which left one game be- tween them and their goal- of County Champs. But they were to never claim that title, although they fought gamely, the fast Norton eleven carried away the prize and the Buccaneer team of ’31 had to be content to stow away their togs with only memories of the past season and hope for more successful records in the future. The team was captained by “Spec” Mumpower, center, a veteran of three years who this year added an all-county berth to his honors. Youell and Parrott, the guards, were both serving their first year on the varsity but both showed the abil ity of veteran linemen. “Big” Trent lived up to his former reputation in his work at tackle. Shelton, the other tackle, started slow but improved fast and the future looks rosy for him. J ames Combs, playing right end, showed great ability for his first year and looks as if he will be a great deal better next year. Kelly, at the other end proved himself capable of holding his position. The defensive work of Barron, the fullback, was great, while his line plunging ability changed many a game from defeat to victory. Whited, as halfback, was one of the teams best defensive men in addition to being a good ball carrier. Blaylock, the other halfback, was easily the outstanding punter in the entire county. He was also a great interference man and pigskin runner. As well as being a grouncl-gainer, Willis, the quarterback, showed generalship of a high calibre in the way he directed the energies and movements of his team. Collier, a very valuable man, showed his ability by playing in almost any posi- tion on the team. Potter showed his ability holding down center position while Captain “Spec” was playing a position in the backfield. With the entire team of veterans and many other candidates returning for the coming year, it looks as if the Blue and Gold warriors may look forward to the season of ’32 with bright hopes that they can make it even better than the one they have just finished. [ 45 ] (girls’ basketball Squall Miss Julia Mae Sleaif, Coach ' orwards Guards Centers Herron, Captain Sergent L. Clarkston Broadwater Winston R. Clarkston Lambert Witt Cartwright Cummings Johnston Barron Morris Potter [ 46 ] Kilbourne Basketball HE return to school after the Yuletide holidays brought forth a call for Buccanette aspirants. With a wealth of material from which to choose, Coach Slemp set to the task of building a team. With such veterans as Captain Herron, Broadwater, Sergent, Cartwright, Witt, Winston, and Lam- bert to build around, things looked bright. These seasoned basketeers were pushed hard by such new material as Ruth Clarkston, Lucile Clarkston, Kil- bourne, Potter, Cummings, Morris, Barron, and M. Johnson. This aggregation opened the season with a bang. They held the highly- touted Pound sextet to a tie score. Greatly encouraged by this moral victory, the squad went to work much more in earnest. They were handicapped by numerous injuries but never failed to show the undying spirit of Buccanette teams. They reached the top by beating such teams as Appalachia, Norton, Coeburn, Wise, and East Stone Gap. The few games lost were dropped by small margins and did not discourage the players but seemed to put more fight into them. Then came the time for which the team had been waiting, the County Tournament. Rated the under-dogs, the strong Blue and Gold sextet proved to be a “dark horse.” Norton was swept aside with ease when Captain Herron and Broadwater bombarded the basket at will. Then came St. Paul, their old rivals. They, too, went down under the march of the Buccanettes. This put them in the finals. Although defeated in this final encounter by Pound, the girls went down fighting. The season as a whole was a huge success. Captain Herron was high scorer for the tournament and along with Cartwright, speedy side center, was chosen for a berth on the all-county team. Broadwater, Sergent, Cartwright, M itt, and the Clarkston sisters will be lost by graduation. Broadwater, Sergent, and Cartwright have served four years on the Buccanette squad. A wealth of material will be left for next year and Coach Slemp looks eagerly forward for as successful a season next year.

Collier Guntner Hobbs Shelton Barron Miller basketball FTTIXG away to a rather inauspicious start, the team failed to pick up momentum as the season progressed. They ended the season by holding - the vicious Pound aggregation of super-stars to a 4-55-10 victory. The season was unofficially opened against the fine, fast-passing, straight- shooting Lynch quintet. The team fought hard but was downed in the last few minutes of the game, 57-27. There is no doubt but that the team establish a record for games lost, but due to the brilliant work of Coach “Fagin” Ivagin the boys managed to win two games. The last game of the season was a hard one but the breaks were against them. The Buccaneers ended their season in a blaze of glory by holding the highly-touted Pound stars to a 43-10 score. From the beginning of the campaign to the final whistle the consistent and brilliant work of “Corby” Barron, “Ida” Maness, “Spec” Mumpower, “Reba” Potter, “Apple-sack” Collier, “Xever-sweat” Shelton, “Boonie” Tucker, “Warm-up” Collier, “Craneneck” Hobbs, “Little” Trent, “Close-shave” Miller, “One-lung” Sturgill, and “Gourd-head” Guntner marks them as outstanding . men. Due to the fact that only one man, “Apple-sack” Collier, is lost by gradua- tion, Coach Kagin looks forward to another successful season next year. The Buccaneers received the undying and loyal support of the Alumni throughout the season. rp Q 0 0 LP CLASS WILL (Continued from page 24 ) popularity as a Prima Donna.

VERNON Augustus Thomas This most unusual play, written in celebration of the Washington Bicentennial, deals with the life of George Washington when he was courting Martha Custis. The then Governor of Virginia conspired against Washington to prevent his becoming the leader of the army, in spite of the fact that he had proved himself a hero in having gone to Braddock’s rescue. Further complications are made by Sally Innes, to whom Washington wrote verse in the days of his youth. Mrs. Innes insists that she still loves George, much to the disgust of Martha. But Washington’s proverbial honesty prevails and in the end he triumphs over his difficulties. This play was presented by the Senior Class with the cast as follows: Bryan Fairfax Lord Fairfax...
