The Senior Class of 1933 now presents their last annual broadcast over station B. S. G. by Professor Killtime. I now introduce Professor Killtime.” “Hello, Students and Citizens of Big Stone Gap. I shall now present to you the last program sponsored by the Senior Class. “The real history of this class began when they were called ‘just school kids.’ No longer do they carry that name, because they are the ‘dignified Seniors.’ Those who have supported the membership through all the grades at Big Stone Gap are Bascom Barron, Howard Cummings, Robert Mumpower, James Whited, Georgia DeBord, Katheryne Gilley, Mildred Graham, Virginia Greene, Mary Hill, Lloyd Kelly, Helen Panned, Beuna Pennington, Margaret Showalter, Anne Witt, Berenice Qualls and Sara Morton. “As they have worked toward the end of their happy school days they have gained quite a few members. In the fifth grade James Bentley made a wise step by coming into their class. The real bang came in the sixth grade when Josh Cambios came into their class with his funny remarks and novel acts. They have also gained members who have meant a great deal to their room: as athletes, Alma Wilson, Hazel Lambert, and Lucille Slemp; as a farmer, Cecil Gibson; as a beauty expert, Elma Bailey; as a Latin shark. Pearl Compton; as a perpetual talker, Virginia Hemming; and as a representative from Appalachia, Nettie Edens. “While they were making new friends they were losing old ones. From their class they have lost this year, Nellie Mae Herron, Hope Brown, Mildred McCorkle and Nell Fletcher. “In their first school days there were found little fellows who were always talking athletics and slipping into the games. They don’t slip in any more, but walk in as dis- tinguished players. When ‘Corby’ Barron, ‘Spec’ Mumpower, ‘Kernal’ Whited and ‘Walt’ Marrs get down to real teamwork they have a team that is hard to defeat. “They also have girls who rank high in athletics. They are Hazel Lambert, Georgia DeBord, Alma Wilson and Lucille Slemp. These girls are on the first team. “Besides the talent show in athletics, they have dramatic ability as well. In their class play, Sara Morton was leading lady with James Bentley as hero. As usual, their dramatic productions would have been incomplete without Robert Mumpower playing opposite Lloyd Kelly. Bascom Barron made a hit starring as an Englishman. In their I 19 I 77 Class History — Continued circus, ‘Red’ Cummings, as head clown, and Cecil Gibson, as the ‘tall man’ brought many laughs from the audience. “Mildred Graham and Alma Wilson, the ‘candy girls,’ were always on the job at the noon hour. Mr. Horne was one of their best customers when they had any Hershey Bars, while Miss Long kept them busy supplying Mounds. “This year has been unusual in that several Juniors have shared their room and privileges. They were glad to have them and hope they will get through all right next year. “As this is my last chance to broadcast in behalf of these pupils, I would like to wish you a prosperous and happy future. I am now giving the network to the Senior Class of 1934.” An armor of learning was begun For a child knight long ago; Each year brought strength to his armor. To his breastplate a brighter glow. As the years passed by, one by one. And the knight in knowledge grew. His armor waxed more to perfection For the work he must later do. At last his arms were pronounced complete. He was drilled in every rule. Confident — ready — for the oncoming fray, “Out of school life, into life’s school.” The Senior Knight — Elizabeth Morris, ’34. I 20 I Prophecy Ten years have passed since the Class of 1933 graduated from Big Stone Gap Hi. Elma Bailey wonders what has happened to her classmates. Suddenly she remembers the crystal that she used in her Senior year. She takes it from a shelf and wipes away the cobwebs that have gathered during ten years. The mist clears as she looks into the crystal and she sees James Bentley directing workers who are erecting a skyscraper. Then she recognizes Mary Hill in Hollywood. Mary is playing the part of the leading lady’s mother. There she also sees Sara Morton and Howard Cummings, the comedians of the screen. They have a home in Hollywood and six sweet and loving children. Now the crystal shows Alma Wilson teaching school in a small town, but the scene changes swiftly to New York. She sees two efficient business ladies. Who are they? She looks closer and sees that they are Lucille Slemp and Beuna Pennington who have become a necessity to their business. The scene merges into one which is familiar. Yes! It is the Ball Park and Bascom Barron is proudly putting his State Champion team through the paces. Not far distant she sees Robert Mumpower, a preacher. Robert is trying to get money to send to Nettie Edensj a missionary in China. A plane zooms through the sky. There has been a train accident and Dr. Cambios with the aid of his pilot, Cecil Gibson, is rushing to offer his assistance. From Cecil, Dr. Josh finds that Mildred Graham has become a nurse but that she still has a “hoot” owl for a pet and that Margaret Showalter, a news reporter, was the first to send in an account of the accident. Then the scene changes to a ship; Virginia Greene is painting it. Walter Marrs, the captain, is standing near by. Poor Walter! He can’t get accustomed to having women paint his ship. The curtains are again drawn aside and gay Paree is the setting. Anne Witt is teaching the French girls how to cook and sew. James Whited is at this same school teaching Math, Now she sees Helen Pannell married and living in Appalachia in the old bottom. Around the corner comes the clank of an old dairy truck. Georgia DeBord and Hazel Lambert have a dairy in Andover. In a far comer of the crystal she sees Lloyd Kelly working in a toothpick factory. Nearby she also sees Katheryne Gilley giving dancing lessons to Mr. Horne in her studio. Although he was her first pupil he hasn’t learned to twO ' Step yet. Then she sees Virginia Hemming, our little angel, flying about in the crystal. She is following in her father’s footsteps. The magic of the crystal lasts long enough for her to see the last of her classmates. Yes! Pearl Compton is a fat, greasy cook in Berea College. i 21 1 Class Will We, the Senior Class of ’33, Big Stone Gap, Va., being of sound and disposing mind, do hereby make, publish and declare this to be our last will and testament, hereby revoking all wills by us at any time heretofore made.

We now realize that the end of our High School journey is very near and that this year has meant more to us than the previous ones. Our class under the able direction of Mr. Cassell has worked together splendidly and accomplished every undertaking. The scholarship of the class has always been high and this year we did not lower the standard. Our talents have been many. In athletics we were well represented both in quality and quantity. Both boys and girls were represented on the first team in basket ' ball and many of our number are promising substitutes. In football we were better represented, having many letter ' men who we believe will carry on the good work next year. The Class took an active part in the programs and showed excellent dramatic ability. We have given two class programs this year. The first one given was “Spreading the News.” The second program was a minstrel entitled, “Deacon Flipper’s Chickens,” which was a great minstrel. The proceeds from the program will be used next year in helping to publish the School Bell. The Junior Class is represented on the School Bell Staff and Athletic Association. In every way they competently did the work assigned them. After all, there has been nothing extraordinary in the achievements of the Class. We have done our best to carry on the traditions of the previous Junior Classes. We hope that we will do even better in our Senior year, and so, with a feeling of a task well done, we stand ready to enter our Senior year and carry on the honor of the Class of ' 33. II 25 } An Unsuccessful Raid on the Refrigerator By Teddy Collier Bert Little was a frequent visitor to the theaters, dances and operas and often came home very late on the evenings when he made such visits. On a certain evening in June, he arrived very late at the garage where ke hept his small roadster. “You still up?” he addressed a small German police dog that came running to meet him. “Can’t you sleep either, old boy? You must have eaten too much of that good supper we had, just like I did.” With this last remark he started toward the house. As he opened the door to the inclosure at the back of the kitchen which housed the cream ' colored refrigerator, he was reminded of the delicious supper he had eaten. But he was not the only one who was thinking of the store of food in the large refrigerator. About an hour after Bert Little had gone to bed, a whispered conversation was held at the corner of the porch and two small dark figures came to the screen door of the in ' closure and stopped. After the handle was pulled the larger shadow whispered, “It’s locked inside.” A moment’s hesitation and the other figure spoke. “I’ve got it.” He drew from his pocket a jack knife and began cutting into the wooden frame around the latch. Off to the side of the sleeping porch, Bert was aroused by the police dog scratching on the screen. “I’ll teach that pup to be quiet,” he said, as he started toward the window, snatching a small glass jar from the dresser as he passed. At the sound of a window being raised one of the figures darted around the comer of the house and the other dropped down beside the steps. “You had better get down and away from there,” came from the open window. A glass jar went hurling through the air and hit on the edge of the steps. Bert then lowered the window and all the quietness of the house reigned again. Next morning everything went on as usual in the house until Harry came down to breakfast with a bump on his head and a few small scratches here and there. “What on earth has happened to you, Harry?” exclaimed his mother. “Goodness sakes, have yo u been having bad dreams again?” “Harry stood stupefied, not able to utter a sound. Bert came to him and examined his head. “Nothing serious,” he said, “just bruised and cut here and there, and you need not worry about the panacea. I’ve fixed that already.” Most all brothers have secrets and Bert and Harry were not exceptions to the rule. i 26 I Sophomores I 27 !

We believe that our class is one of the most outstanding classes in school. The Sophomores are above the life of Freshmen, but still below the dignity of Juniors. This class is seldom recognised in school, but as we have representatives in all our school activities, we maintain a high rating. Due to the size of this class, it was necessary to divide it into two sections. Miss Jackson is head of the first section with an enrollment of twentymine, and Mr. Ball is the head of the second section. Our class has shown its dramatic ability in the production of “The Wedding of the Painted Dolls” and “Katie’s New Hat.” The Sophomore Class of 1933 has a number of players in both football and basket- ball. The following represented our class in football: Junior Collier, Walter Caudill, James Combs, James Miller, Clifford Trent, Paul Trent, Roy Willis, Guy Hobbs and Carl Kelly. In basket-ball we were represented by Junior Collier, Guy Hobbs, James Miller and Clifford Trent. As a whole, our class has been considered very successful in all of the work it has undertaken this year. Each member is striving to successfully become a member of the Junior Class of 1934. MR. BALL’S ROOM Attention! Everybody! This is the Sophomore Circus, supervised by Mr. O. F. Ball, directed by Henderson Gilmer and announced by Harry Taylor. Great Scott! Whatta sight! In the first ring we see Churchill Chalkley, fattest man on earth, talking to Miss Faye Wagner, thinnest woman. Billy Witt and Mary Bailey, the world’s smallest pair, are chasing Ikey “Muscle Bound” Richmond, strongest man in the world, around the ring, while J. B. Collier, human cannon ball, is flying over the heads of Margaret Rhodes and Georgia Carmody, world champion bareback riders. Sam McChesney, Betty Sue Cummings, Leland Benedict, and Edna Davis, those dizzy aerialists, are performing above the middle ring, while Jane McCorkle, Paul Callahan and Robert Stinson, tight rope walkers, perform in the middle of the ring. Ina Haynes and Inez Stone are putting their trained seals through the paces, while “Cotton” McCrary and John Cummings, star clowns, perform in front of the audience. Opal Osborne, Bonnie Gibson, Helen Marshall, Myrtle Mullins, Virginia Skeen and Louise Bailey are hanging by their teeth in the air, while Georgia Carmony takes a 30-ft. dive from the shoulders of Winston Pennington into two feet of water; Anne Barron, human shadow, looks on. This is a brief sketch of Circus S. O. P. H. of ’33. We will return next year. f 30 I Miss Slemp’s Room 1 32 I Mr. Kazin’s Room Freshman Class Gold and White Colors Green and White Violet Flowers Lily of the Valley Mottoes “Green But Growing” “Plan Your Work, Work Your Plan” Billy McChesney Presidents Margaret Bailey Pat Hammond Vice ' Presidents Virginia Smith Arlin Hill Secretaries Betty Horton Billy Carmony Reporters Margaret Strong Mr. Kagin Admers Miss Slemp Edith Allen Margaret Bailey Dorothy Broadwater Kathleen Clasby Dorothy Collier Wilma Countess Fern Cunningham Lillian Edens Arlene Gilmer Dorothy Greene Lois Harrison Ellen Horton Betty Horton Louise Hammond Jeannette Johnson Jenelle Kilbourne Evelyn Lane Virginia Neely Bernice Potter MEMBERS Gaynell Potter Thelma Sherman Mary Showalter Virginia Smith Marion Smith Betty Smith Bessie Sorah Margaret Strong Agnes Taylor Josephine Tucker Mary Ellis Wade Charlotte Wade Hazel Whited Robert Addington Burl Baker Elmer Beaman Billy Carmony Albert Dulaney Charles Giles Willard Johnson Talmadge Giles Eugene Goins Irving Guntner Pat Hammond Arlin Hill Grover Honeycutt Hagan Horton J.

There’s Dorothy Broadwater, who’s trying to find more activities than Jenelle Kilbourne and yet not stopping long enough to lose that high scholarship. And, when Betty Smith and Fern Cunningham aren’t speaking, it practically means Fern has made another backslide on Latin! It is rumored that Betty Horton is weeping many tears of anguish to think of the end of the year. It means parting from Margaret Bailey — such d evotion — such adora- tion — such attention. O, these athletic girls! Edith Allen, Thelma Sherman and Josephine Tucker will probably express their affection for Miss Slemp by returning to basket-ball next year. Wouldn’t it be funny if Wilma Countess and Bernice Potter should get together? Bernice would enjoy herself as usual, by talking her head off; and Wilma would have just as good a time saying nothing. Virginia Smith — is she cute? She is small but full of spirit and lovable. What more can we ask of one girl? Talking about beauty, Mary Showalter has “IT.” She has a smile that will draw any crowd. Evelyn Lane is always laughing; if you have the blues just go to her; she will cheer you up, and how! That new girl, Arline Gilmer, heads from Roda, and is she popular? She’ll knock the shine off Ellen Horton if Ellen isn’t careful. Kathleen Clasby and Virginia Neeley may be small, but they can’t be beaten in talking. If you don’t believe it, drop in sometime and see for yourself. Dorothy Greene is always jolly and thoughtful. She is frank, open-hearted and thorough-going. We like her for it and wouldn’t have her changed for the world. Marion Smith is successful in everything she undertakes and the class is sure of her success. Where is a more faithful girl than Gaynell Potter? She talks but that doesn’t mean a thing. They say Freshmen are fresh, but I believe if some could see Jeanette Johnson, Lillian Edens and Mary Ellis Wade, they would change their minds. Agnes Taylor is a hard and earnest worker, and Charlotte Wade is always in her place and ready to help. Hazel Whited hasn’t much quantity but she sure has quality. Louise Hammond is a “Redhead.” but she’s as mild as a blonde. Bessie Sorah makes up for her though — is she “peppy”? Margaret Strong is also a “Redhead,” but she is always ready, right on the spot and makes a good job of it. It would be hard to find a sweeter and a more capable girl. Freshmen Class — Boys The Boys’ Freshman Class of 1933 numbered thirty ' five at the beginning of school, September first. After the initial ceremonies we found ourselves under the able leader ship of Mr. Kagin, with the general name of “Rats.” Thus we started on the difficult “path of study” leading up to the Sophomore Class; determined, if possible, to improve the record made by the class of 193 T32. Our representation in athletics was small. Edward Youell served as guard on the varsity football team. Pat Hammond, Albert Dulaney, Alfred Morton, and Robert Kilbourne succeeded in making the squad. We are hoping that when we reach the Sophomore ranks our ability in sports will be more outstanding. Notwithstanding our inactivity in sports, we are proud to boast of our theatrical success in producing our play, “Wanted, A Wife.” We, as a Freshman class, have to bear much ridicule from the upper classmen, cs- pecially the Sophomores. We do not deny the fact that we are green, but we have hopes of recovering when we enter the Sophomore year. The First Degree He enters High School with a smile; In his books he covers mile by mile. Everyone has the pleasure of knowing That he’s green — but growing. And when he has finished his first year books. He gets ready for exams with a satisfied look. They’re over, finished, the first machine, He didn’t come out at the end green. He is talking to a bunch of Sophs, The ones who teased him and gave him the knocks; They say he has passed the first degree, A Sophomore answers, “Well, he is up with me.” — Burl Baker.

The units of work completed are divided into the following heads: 1 . Health of the family in the community. 2. Food for all the family. 3. Social relationship of the family and its members. 4. House and home. 5. Using time, money and energy. 6. Clothing for all the family. THE PROJECTS Oh, Mother dear. Please listen here To something new we have to do. Projects! Gee, they are grand. And it gets these lesson guides off hand Such a relief, I should say. We talked about them most all day. I’ve never worked with them in the past But here’s something interesting at last. There’s one on the House and Home That will keep us from wanting to roam. And then we have one on Money So that we’ll know what to pay for honey. Say ! We are going to have a home project too Please help me think what I can do That would help you. Mother, and me too. The Home Project develops skill and establishes habits. Each girl chooses one of the following as her home project: 1. — Meal Preparation. 2. — Family Relationship. 3. — The Care of the Bedroom. 4. — Selecting and Care of Spring, Fall or Summer Wardrobe. 5. — Laundry. 6. — Account ' ing. 7- — Family Health. 8. — House Decoration and Furnishings. 9. — House Care. 10. — Vegetable Garden. 11. — Canning. Probably the most outstanding work in our department this year is the School Lunch Room which is under the auspices of the Associated Charities Committee sponsored by the Community League.

G 7 Wise 7 I 44 I 77 Football In the spring a young man ' s fancy turns to love; in the fall it turns to football. This game seems to hold a strange fascination for boys — at least for boys of Big Stone Gap. About thirty-five boys reported for the first practice, fourteen of whom were lettermen from last year. The Buccaneers began the season by turning back a big rangy bunch of boys from Pennington Gap to the tune of 19 ' 0. The Pennington boys had a real team and the hometown boys had to play good football to defeat them. The next game was with the highly-touted Coeburn team who, led by Holbrook, came to Big Stone full of confidence. However, the B. S. G. boys went out on the field to play football, and as a result, the lads from Coeburn went back home on the little end of a 32-0 score. The next team to taste defeat at the hands of the Buccaneers was a rather weak aggregation from Jonesville. The score was 72-0. The following Saturday our boys met a team from St. Paul. With over half of the regulars out of the lineup. Big Stone trounced the visitors soundly — 5T7- St. Paul, however, rallied enough in the last quarter to make the first score against our record. Not much can be said about our next game — Appalachia, except that the boys had tough luck and that Appalachia showed much unexpected strength. The score was B. S. G., 6; Appalachia, 7- In the following game with East Stone, the squad was still recovering from the defeat at the hands of Appalachia. East Stone put up a surprisingly strong defense but the Buccaneers won, 7 ' 0. The following week end the boys journeyed to Norton. On a wet muddy field, they succeeded in trouncing the strong Norton team, 21-0. The next Saturday — one of the coldest days of the year — the squad went to Wise expecting to win rather easily, but on account of the cold weather and a bit of over- confidence, they only succeeded in ekeing out a 7-7 tie. Out of the eight games played, the Buccaneers won six, tied one and lost one. They scored 215 points to their opponents’ 21. Most of the credit for this brilliant record should go to the coach, William Kagin, without whom the squad of boys who first re- ported for practice would probably have amounted to nothing. May he, with the Buccaneer squad, have many more successful seasons. f 45 1 77 Girls ' Bas et‘ ' ball Elm A Wilson Lucille Slemp Georgia DeBord Hazel Lambert Amna Bailey Cleo Willis Pauline Dixon Helen Watts Miss Mary Bailey Anne Barron Betty Sue Cummings Georgia Carmody Jennelle Kilbourne Dorthy Broadwater Thelma Sherman Edith Allen , Coach t 46 1 77 Qirls’ Bas et ' hall When December rolled around last winter it brought forth Coach Slemp ' s call for basket ' ball candidates. About forty girls reported for the first practice session, and from these forty would ' be cagesters Miss Slemp had to build her team. This would be quite a problem for any Math teacher, especially when there wasn’t even one experi ' enced player among the aspirants. As the days rolled by and practice became a very serious and quite exhausting busi ' ness, the girls found it very hard to carry on because every day brought forth its quitters. Instead of being discouraged, however. Miss Slemp seemed to instill into their hearts the old do ' or ' die spirit and the result was amazing. Practice was no longer a useless time wasting session, but a means of learning the art of handling, passing, and shooting a basket-ball. They hoped by mastering these fundamentals to bring glory to old Big Stone Hi. That is just what they did. Although they did not have a winning com- bination, they learned to take defeat right on the chin and still smile. Coach Slemp should be proud of her team because they knew the meaning of Sportsmanship and every game lost was a moral victory for the school and for the girls who went down fighting, the only way true-blue Buccaneers ever meet defeat. No outstanding stars were noticeable because the team played as a unit and all shared in the glory. However, such players as Capt. Wilson, Slemp, Lambert, M. Bailey, A. Bailey, DeBord, Kilbourne, Barron, and Dickson, must be commended on their fine all-round play and the fine way they accepted defeat, without a grumble. Other girls who proved their value to the team were Carmody, Willis, Cummings, Broadwater, Allen and Sherman. These girls were the unseen power behind the team because they forced the regulars to be in top form constantly or lose their position on the team. Although Coach Slemp loses four regulars from this year’s combination, she will have a wealth of material around which to build her next cage team. Those lost through graduation are Capt. Wilson, Slemp, Lambert, and DeBord. Each of these girls per- formed well and has proven herself worthy of the praise which is due her.

The boys won eleven out of fourteen games, making a percentage of .785. They lost to Pound, Coeburn, and East Stone Gap. The B. S. G. quintet started the season by winning five consecutive games by rather large scores. Then the Pound team came down and defeated the Buccaneers, 49-23. The next five games were won by very close scores, two of them — Wise and Norton — going into extra periods. We were slated for defeat in the next game, however, being nosed out by Coeburn, 30-29. At the County Tournament in Appalachia, Big Stone Gap broke even We defeated Norton in the first round, 12-25, only to lose a fast game to East Stone in the semi-finals, 27 - 22 . LETTER-MEN Bascom Barron, Center. “Corby’s” jumping ability was one of the biggest reasons for the Buccaneer’s successful season. He was also a good defensive player and an ex- cellent shot. Robert Mumpower, Forward. “Spec” will be remembered for his “never-say-die” spirit as well as his ability as a good defensive and offensive player. Bill Potter, Forward. Bill was one of the best shots on the squad — getting highest number of points, 95. He was also a dependable floor player. Ralph Sturgill, Guard. Ralph was a new addition to the team this year but he soon became one of the best. He is an excellent guard and also a good shot, getting 47 points during the course of the season. James Miller, Guard. Jimmy was another new man on the varsity this year. He played a stellar game at guard, always fighting for the ball and for his team. We shall hear more from him next year. Two boys leave the ranks of the Buccaneers this year: Bascom Barron and Robert Mumpower, but with such promising material as Henderson Gilmer, Max Graber, John Graber, and Guy Hobbs in the reserve, we can look forward to another successful season next year. f 49 I c. - V.L L:L: .5FiY BIG STONE GAP, VIRGINIA To uphold the Honor of the Big Stone Gap High School’s Monogram.

To the Class of ' 33 I propose a toast — may the greatest of success be yours — may your lives be lights to brighten the path for those who come after you — I am glad to web come you into our association. Agnes Burgess, ' 28. Class of ' 33 — welcome into our Alumni Association — especially do I welcome the twenty ' one of you who were my seventh grade children. Frances W. Long, ' 18. Senior Class of 1933 : Although your handicaps have been the greatest, you have fought, conquered and vanquished with such spirit and braveness, as no other class can boast. I, a member of the Alumni, welcome you into our midst. Teddy Kilbourne, ' 31. Seniors of nineteen hundred thirty ' three, I leave with you this thought of William Mathews: “A great deal of the joy of life consists in doing perfectly, or at least to the best of one’s ability, everything which he attempts to do. Then is a sense of satisfaction, a pride in surveying such a work — a work which is rounded, full, exact, complete in all its parts — which the superficial man, who leaves his work in a slovenly, slipshod, half ' finished condition, can never know. It is this conscientious completeness which turns work into art. The smallest thing well done, becomes artistic.” Julia May Slemp, ' 21.
