To thank her the way we ought to do Is far beyond our powers. For if we had no friend like her There would not have been a class like ours. D. D. FORREST SUPERINTENDENT The seniors have been favored by having the new superintendent of schools to work with them the past year. Mr. Forrest being a new worker has shown cooperation to the fullest extent. His frequent visits to the school have helped ever so much for the students to know him and appreciate his kindness. Mr. Forrest’s new ideas have helped tremendously in developing a better and more enjoyable school for the students. Botetourt isn’t strange to Mr. Forrest since he served as principal here in 1927-30. We know that it is wonderful to him to be working with the school again, although the pupils have changed quite a bit. The seniors wish to thank Mr. Forrest for his loving kindness and co¬ operation shown to us during our senior year in high school. 4 SCHOOL OFMCMLS We are thankful for the help and guidance of our principal. Although he has only been with us for the last two years, we have all grown to love him and appreciate his always helping hand. We are equally grateful for the assistance of his capable secretary. s G U $ c H 0 l F h C I [ T ! GEORGE W. HEATH MISS MARION FARY T.

We hope we never falter Or fall beneath our load. We’ll do our best through every day To do what we think right And always we will hold you near To be our guiding light. We wish to thank our faculty For helping us each day, We’ll also miss our classmates More than words can say. We wish them luck, success and joy And years free from pain. We hope it won’t be very long Before we meet again. And now the time has come to say, Goodbye to school days, dear We’ll ne’er forget those happy times We’ve known together here. Dear Botetourt, we say goodbye, With heads held up high Goodbye, our Alma Mater Goodbye, dear school, goodbye. By— Betty Jean Dunston “Through The Years’’ We ' ve finished our happy school days And our trials have just begun We’ve many roads to travel o’er And many battles to be won. We’ll each take our separate paths And go our separate ways But the memory of our years together Will always brighten the darkest days. We’ll think of our dear school In every sunsets glow She’ll always be there with our hearts And we will miss her so. Sometimes we’ll feel like giving up And our smiles may be replaced by tears But we know the helpful hand of Cod Will guide us safely through the years. By— Betty Jean Dunston 16 The Junior Class has really progressed this year. They have shown fine work in all activities in which they were in charge. The Juniors have a lot to look forward to for the coming year. Being a senior is the spotlight of high school days, although it is the last year to be in high school. Juniors, always remember that school days are the best days of life. After next year of school, you will be going out on your own to use the knowledge that has been taught you in your years of high school. So to you, Juniors, we say, “Good luck and smooth sailing.” CLASS OFFICERS Ralph Bristow President Jean Hogge Vice-President Peggy Deal Secretary Mary Dunn Treasurer Lillie Mae Walker Reporter 17 jg Mrr Fuller Bunting Betty Germap John Northstein Harry E.

The Class sponsored the magazine drive which went over wonderfully. The students are working hard to make money for their Junior and Senior Prom. Not only did they sponsor the magazine drive but they also sold drinks and eats at the athletic games. These students are going to need the cooperation of everyone in the years to come and we Seniors hope that they secure it!

This gives these students a chance to further their education by one more year in school. The students were divided into four sections, giving them a chance to take agriculture, home economics, general business and shop. Nine weeks of each of these were offered to each student. The Eighth Grade having been a very enthusiastic class, sold peanuts at athletic games and presented a play with the help of their sponsors Mrs. T. B. Treakle and Mr. Fred B. Corr. Although these students could not play on the school athletic teams, they participated in practices which will aid them next year when they will have the opportunity to play on the actual teams. J.

The grades were proud of this and so were their teachers. New paint jobs were done in the elementary school last year. The walls are painted aqua or sandstone and the tops are white. The blackboards were moved down to proper height and painted a vismatic green. Not only this, but new desks were also secured in order to make school more enjoyable for the elementary pupils. 26 27 c R A D [ S C SI 0 0 [ F A C II [ I MISS ELIZABETH OVERBY First Grade MISS EUNICE CLEMENTS First Grade MISS SAR AH STUBBLEFIELD Second Grade MRS.

The Library Club did its best to keep the library in good condition. The members of the club made attractive bulletin boards for the hall. Not only this but, the club kept the books of the library in order that the students of the school could find them more easily. The post graduates had as their sponsor this year Mr. Travis Houser. The library was the home room for the post graduates. This made it easier for them to study.

These drivers have kept the buses clean so that the students may enjoy more their rides to and from school. 36 This introduction page to the sports of B. H. S. is a sample of what is to follow. On the following pages you will be introduced to the many sports of Botetourt. The students of the school participated wonderfully in the athletics. Football, the most exciting sport at B. H. $., carried on beautifully although the team failed to win either game butcame close in scoring. Travis Houser, assisted by Kenneth Bennett, coached the football team. The coach appointed a game captain at each game. This captain attended to his duties at each game for which he was appointed. This year made the third year that football was played at Botetourt and there are hopes that it will be played for many years to come.

The team work was terrific. Besides those who went out for the real team, there was an added attraction of twelve eighth grade girls who attended practices regularly, during which time they were observing rules of the game. No strenuous practice was allowed on their part, but they were eager to learn the game with the thoughts of what the future years might be holding in store for them. The team was full of vim and vitality with the determina¬ tion to make a great success.
