H, S. 1909 - - 1929 When Ave delve into the history of onr present school we find some very interesting- and instructive facts concerning its background and educational development in Boyce. As no one could fully appreciate the present school Avithout being- at least slightly acquainted Avith these, we shall attempt to give some of the major steps in the growth of our school. Althoug-h Thomas Jefferson had long- before conceived the idea of a sys- tem of Dublic education for all and had established the University of Virg ' in ' a as the head of this system, it Avas not until the neAV constitution of 1869 that such a SA ' Stem Avas adopted and finally established in 1870. Clarke County Avas not long in beginning her local public schools and in the Amry early seventies Iprobably ’71 or ’72) Mr. Jennings Avas named as the first countA Sup’t. of Public Schools for Clarke County. ScAeral years later (the exact number is not knoAA-n noAv) Captain Wm. N. Nelson Avas named Countv Superintendent and it AA-as during his tenure of office that the first public school in Boyce Avas established. This school Avas held in a biiilding situated on the present site of the PoA ' ce S ate Tank. The biu ' ldinp- has sm ' ' e been moA ed and is noAv a part of a dAvehing- house in Bovce. Mr. Joseph Shep- herd Avas the first school teacher in PoA-ce. Pupils from both Chanel and GreeuAvaA Districts attended here although the srhon’ was maintained by Chapel District. Mr. Shepherd originalh ' enrobed about fifty pup ' ’s, but during the term a question arose betAveen the Districts and many of these Avere stopped and sent to the various other schools around the county. There Avcre no grades and each pupil look whatever subjects he or she Avas capable of carrying-. In the ensuing- A ' ears tAVo other buildings uoav converted into dwelling houses Avere used for school purposes and then in 1887 the first building ever erected as a school building- Avas built on the present AgricAdtural lot on the site of our tennis court. This building- Avas built by GreeiiAA-ay Dustrict. Several years later Chapel District after having- used part of a dwelling house for a school building, built the second school in Boyce. This building ' Avas on the present site of the house now occupied by Mr. Frank Yowell. P ' rom this time on progress was rapid and in 1906 the first high school Avork was offered. This AVork was given in the building now used by Mr. Geo. Garvin for an office. Mr. Chalmers of William and Mary College taught these classes and he had an average attendance of less than tAA o pupils per day for the session. The next step forAvard Avas the grading of ihe pupi’s. This AVork took place in 1907, Mr. M. L. P. Reid and some of the teachers doing the p’acing- which was done mostly on the basis of the pupil’s standing in arithmetic and 1 0 2 9 a i a Twenty 1 E i 5 3| 3| 5| 3| I I 5| i reading. During this session, 1907-1908, Mrs. Stinson taught those pupils who were far enough advanced for high school work. There were about ten in this class and Mr. Garvin’s office again served as a class room. During the year of 1903 Boyce was destined to take its greatest step in its public school career, for it was in that year that the present building was constructed. Mr. Louis Bradford gave the land and the School Boards of Chapel and Greenway Districts — in those days we had a separate Board for each District — largely through the leadership and efforts of Mr. Reid erected the present brick building. Thus Boyce was prepared to launch upon a sys- tem of high school as well as well-graded elementary education. Boyce High School opened for its first term Sept. 20, 1908. There were four teachers this year: Mr. D. G. Cooley, Principal; Miss Belle- Chipley ; Miss Anna Jolliffe, and Mrs. Lora Stinson. The enrollment was about 125, thirteen of which were high school pupils. Mr. Cooley was the only high school teacher and the term was only eight months long]. There were graduates that year. The session of 1918-1919 was the first one in the history of the school with a nine months term. In 1919 the next step forward was made by Boyce High School changing its name to Boyce Agricultural High School and was made a Smith-Hrg ' hcs s hook Mr. D. J. Howard was the first instructor. The following year the Dept, of Home Economics was added. In 1921 the present Vocational Building was finished. During the history of the Boyce High School the following teachers have faithfully carried forward the work and ideals of the school : Mr. Akers Miss Haldeman Miss Royston Miss Baker Miss Hauptman Mr. Rust Miss Berlin Miss Holiaday Miss Seybert Miss Buchanan Mr. Howard Miss Shumate Mr. Burch Miss Hume Mr. Smith Mr. Buvck Mr. Jennings Miss Stevenson Miss Carper Miss Johnston Mrs. Stinson Mr. Carr Miss Jolliffe Miss Story Miss Chipley M’SS Jones Miss Sullivan Mr. Chrisman Mr. McCormick Miss E.

Roller i ' ' ' ’ iss AVilliams M’SS Garver ktTs Rodgers Miss Wilson M’ss Garvin Mr. Royston iMrs. Royston Mr. Wirgman As we go into the twenty-first term this year let us look into some of the progress made by the school during- its twenty years of existence. The number of teachers is now more than double what it was in 1908 as we now have ten teachers. The high school facultv has increased from one to five Twenty- one or f) c C c ij 0 while the hig h school enrollment has grown from thirteen to sixty. The g ' rade faculty has increased from three to five and no one teacher has two full grades at present. Since 1908 Boyce Hig ' h School has g ' raduated 118 pupils. Many of them have continued their education at the institutions of higher learning. Of the ten facrdtv members at present six are graduates of the school. MT are hoping ' that the principle of a free high school education firmly established in public sentiment and the modern tendancy of consolidation that the next twenty years will be marked by even greater strides of growth than the past ones, if such rapid progress is possible. Mew Type Examinations at B. A. H. S, An innovation was made in the school work this year in the form of a re- volving examination schedule. Under this system, examinations were given each day from nine to eleven in the morning and the remainder of the day was used for class recitations. Under this procedure no time was lost from school work during ' the examination period. The plan met with the hearty approval of both Faculty and students.

Looking- back over the past we will try to give you some idea of how our class has progressed. That first awful day twelve long years ago we sat under the care of our beloved teacher, Mrs. Royston. In 1917 we started with a large enrollment, of which only two reamin to- day. These are Jerome Garver and Cathleen Thompson. The remainder gradually dropped off one by one, to wander along life’s way. It is not the losing of these, our classmates, which we are thankful for, but the circum- stances that have kept thes ' e_ present members with us. One was added in the fifth grade. This was Lucy Ann. who is still with us. The years passed and we slowly progressed from grade to grade with many hardships thrown in our path, but when we reached the height of the seventh grade we g-ained many new and useful members. Only three of whom are with us today. They are Edith Wiley, Marguerite Shiley, and Robert Hummer. We were tested and tried and were found to be successful, which shows that the teachers’ labors have not been in vain. Ah ! Fellow classmates how important we felt when we were promoted to high school and hoW| we longed for the time that we would be honored as a dignified Senior. By the time we became sophomores we felt a great deal older. We had many more hard problems to solve and passed through many hard hours in solving them. We also g ' ained many new and prosperous members that year, but only one is still with us. This is Charles Tavenner. We, as juniors, looked back and smiled over the past busy days and their petty troubles. We were made sorrowful indeed when Miss Miller left us, but with such an efificient teacher as Mr. Carr to take her place, we were able to carry on and not one was lost from our class that year. As seniors, we were sorry when Miss Royston left us, but we gained another faithful teacher in her place, Miss Hume. At this time we had eig ' ht members of the class and felt that we were to remain together until we reached the height of graduation, but one of our members. Ruth Butler, stopped, leaving only seven standing, trying to reach the goal. The year ’29 has rolled around fast and we are sorry to think the time is here to leave old B. A. H. S. We have been depending on our teachers to guide our footsteps, but now a new life is stretched before us, with many different paths, and we have to take our choices and guide our footsteps. a |c P P P i p p p loi Twenty-seven lyj ‘iii Cfic Ccflo a M g) Class ropfjecp A cloud of beauty filled niy room as the faintest rays of the approaching dawn became discernable in the East. It was a heavenly cloud, which softly slowly parted, chasing the shadows and frightening away the g ' loom. A beauteous maid appeared, in her fair hands she bore a mystic scroll, on which emblazoned m the purest gold were names. Lo, she preceeded to un- roll the parchment ! As she loosed its upper fold, “The Class of ’ 29 , was plainlly written upon the shining page. Long 1 gazed upon familiar names as they flashed before my eyes, h ' inally my fear and excitement subsided and I became quite friendly wdth my mysterious visitor. As she unrolled the paper further, a noise, as of some one hammering drifted in through the window on a breeze that rippled the curtains. 1 glanced up at the paper ag ' ain and there 1 beheld Robert Hfiimmer, now a punctual and reliable man hammering away at a building. “He is now a first rate carpenter,” breathed the maiden. The noise faded away into the night, the parchment unrolled farther and the sounds of child ish laughter fell on my ears. And behold, Edith Wiley, appeared. The room was converted into a nursery and as Peg tucked a youngster into bed for the third time, tUe lights suddenly went out and the room was left in utter darkness. 1 waited, expectantly, trembling — what was to come next? I glanced up and down the great wdiite way — as it appeared before me — flickering ' lights and signs every where and over the entrance of a large theatre a name attracted 1113 attention. It was Charles Tavernier, the most famous comedian of the day. And now the citi ' disappeared and in its place I saw a tinv school house in a grove of oaks. School was just being dismissed and following tne pupils, out came Marguerite Shilei ' , the teacher. Like the other pictures, this too, vanished into nothingness and in its place 1 beheld a modern farm with all the conveniences poss.ble. 1 he house was on a main hig ' hwa ' and attached to a sign post- on the edge of the road was a sign that rend — 2 -mi. to Harrisonburg. Jerome had decided to settle there since it seemed like home to his wife and from his frecpuent visits there he, too. had groivn to love it. The maiden looked up and smiled as she continued to unroll the scroll and behold, on the parchment appeared a massive white c ' acht leaving New York for France. A blushing maiden was waving farewells to her friends as she and the luckc- man drifted awac ' on their honec ' inoon. 1 he happy girl was Cathleen Thomoson. Again the brig ' ht lights of a cit}- filled the room, but this time the interior of a shop was shown. A familiar fig ' ure was draping- clinging chiffon around a g ' irl. It was Luc}- Ann Trenar}’, now the most sought after costume de- simier in New York. The maiden smiled, rolled up her magic scroll and floated coming dawn. out into the jg i p |c p p |c p p P p ' |c Is. p I ' fc [c c t I g [c X 9 2 0 d; ici Twenty-eight 1 9 2 9 Wi)t €c ft 0 Class! l ill Let all whom it may concern know by these presents that we. the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-nine- being possessed of sound mind and most prodigious memory, do state this to be our last will and testament, knowing that we shall soon sever all bonds, be they spiritual or temporal (including numerous love affairs) connecting us with the Boyce, Agricultur- al High School of Boyce, Virginia, and that without being influenced in or by any wa} ' ' , shape, manner, or form, we do make the following endow- ments, bequests, donations, and gifts ; First, we do bequeath to Mr. Royston and the faculty a large amount of appreciation for their efforts in our behalf, our executor being very careful to be generous in apportioning this to our language, science, and mathema- tics teachers especially. All of whom passed us in spite of our sins of com- mission (ponies and other methods of covering rough grounds easily) and omission (papers we never turned in but always left at home or lost). Second, we leave the Junior Class in possession of all senior dignities, knowdng full well that it is useless for them even to try to rival us, but hoping- that they may be able to hold themselves up under these new honors better than we think they really can. Third, we make the following individual bequests: Jerome Carver leaves his trips to Harrisonburg State Teachers College to any boy who may be- come divinely inspired at that Institution. Robert Hummer leaves his skill in flirting with more than one girl at a time to Virg-il Lloyd. Marguerite Shiley leaves her studious habit of studying at recess time to Elwood Wiley and Nat Jones. Charles Tavernier leaves his bright statements to anv Junior who didn’t study his lesson the night before. Lucy Ann Trenary leaves her quiet manners to Louise Martin. Cathleen Thompson and Edith Wiley leave their perpensity for talking across the aisle to Hazle Kibler and Gladys Lucas. All the rest of our property not otherwise disposed of, or not given away or stolen we request our executor to sell, and buy rattlers for freshies. And we do appoint and confirm Mr. Carr sole executor of this, our last will and testament, for he is notorious for his fair play, he to use his own judgment about funeral arrangements, we only asking that they be suitable to our worth. W ' hereby, we, the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-nine, having as our faculties and without coercion by the faculty of dear IBoyce, solemnly declare the foregoing to be our act and accordingly have this day, June the seventh. Anno Domini, nineteen hundred and twenty-nine, signed and affix- ed our seal to this our last will and testament.

When he reached the sacred portals of the funior room, he was puffingf and out of breath. The president. Miss Mary Lou Fritts. received him with the dignity befitting a Junior, a dignity second only to a Senior, and told him in a few well chosen words to “hop to it.” After two hours of mental and verbal activity he succeeded in getting the following enlightment facts ; Miss Fritts, as president of the class, was the first to be interviewed. She has been a great basketball player and is a general favorite. From her con- servation it was evident that she was more interested in becoming an “old maid” school teacher than in any other profession. At present, her favorite subject is “flirtation.” Charles Hook, secretary of the class, acknowledged that he really has two hobbies of which he has often been accused — studying and “the women.” He even goes to detention hall to talk to the teacher, and although it is unusual for a person of this type, he makes good grades. [erome had to wait a while for an interview with Charles Royston, the vice-president of the class. Meanwhile, he learned that the missing gentle- man is cpiite popular and always in demand when there s important business to be transaced. They frankly stated that he was indispensible to the class as a star athlete and classmate. He’s a “whiz” at basketball. No more was said, for at that moment Charles Royston appeared. When he Avas asked for an interview, he said, “Sorry — too busy — ‘deed I’m sorry, but ‘if you want a thing well done you must do it yourself’.” Harry Lucas, the treasurer, is quite annoying- w’nen dues are due. All that Jerome could learn concerning him was that the latest reports are that he is engaged. As to the truthfulness of this statement, v e cannot say. Miss Virg-inia Trenary was found to be a studious young- lady very partial to elderly gentlemen. She is said to attend the movies every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, and we are led to believe that she has aspirations in this line herself. 1 erome was unable to find out much about Noda Rovston. She believes that silence is golden and mystery lends enchantment. She would not grant him an interview. William Dearmont, on being interviewed, declared that the simple life ap- pealed to him. “Bill” rents one of the store boxes at White Post and can be located there at any time. He also believes in taking his time to do thing-s, he’s never in a rush, but he always seems to get there. Eightly came Wilbur Ginn Cobb. The fellow with the deep frown and the broad grin. Wilbur has brought much glory to the Junior Class. Oh, yes ! “Cobb” has been unanimously elected the most girl-shy boy in B. A. H. S. Last, but not least was Arthur Golightly. It is believed that he could make the kind of grades “that you write home about” if he cared to, but he believes in going lightly in his books if not in cars. Arthur seems a good example of the saying that “still water runs deep.” Thirty-five Thirty-six VLf)t Eti)0 Thirty-seveii %} optomotE Clas sJ Class Motto 1 9 2 9 0 ‘Build for Cliaracter not for Fame” ' Class Flower Sweet IV ' .

Forty-eight 0 } Cflio 1 9 2 9 Wtft junior Improbement Heague The school building which is now being used was occupied first in 1908-1909 The following year, i9i0, the English teacher, Miss Cox, organized a literary society in the high school department. In 1911 the League was organized, taking the place of the literary society. This league proved to be far more interesting and successful than the Literary Society had been. Since its or- ganization the League has grown tO ' keep step with the school and a few years back its constitution was changed to meet present day conditions. Our League at present serves as a parent organization for the many sub- ordinate clubs and groups. In the league proper the literary activities oc- cupy the major part of the time while the civic projects are sponsored largely through these dependent organizations. By this method we are able to keep these civic projects on a better basis as it gives us a budget of our school finances, for each purpose, but the greatest advantage is that the league period can be given most entirely to the literary program. The two big civic proTcts that the League has undertaken this year are the development of a complete library and the installation of a stationary bookcase and publishing this book, “The Echo.” How well we har e reached these objectives can be judg ' ed from; the results. We now have a library of over 700 books exclusive of encyclopedias and other reference works. The Patrons’ League helped in this work and all the books were boiig ' ht under tht State aid plan. We have installed a new bookcase in the auditorium which protects the books. All of the books are catalogued and accurate records are kept of them. The books are appropriate to every grade and subject taught in school. As for the success of the second project, “The Echo,” you, its readers, can be the judge for yourselves. Our literary activities are under the direction of Miss Hume, who is the penvanent chairman of the Program Comm-ittee. We have had one open program, a play “The Path Across the Hills.” This play v as presented in Boyce and in Paris and we cleared around fifty dollars. Every two weeks a program is given after the business meeting and we have been following a plan allowing each class to take turns sponsoring the programs — which generally consist of the reading of poems, compositions, the rendering of dialogues, plays and some sort of music. Each Thursday of the week boxes were placed in the rooms and the money collected in them was used to buy books for the Library. These days were known as “Literary Days” and they proved very successful as the competi- tive spirit rose. From the results of these “Library Days,” from that which the Patron’s League donated, and from the results of our play we have been able to increase our library from three hundred to seven hundred books. a m Forty-nine n ®f)c (Sraijc Heague President Vdee-President Tecretary d’reasurer Sponsor : First semester Second semester OFFICERS Helen Anders Leonard Larg ent Madrid Heine „.Donald Hawkins Miss Fritts Miss Johnston LEAGUE MEMBERSHIP Seventh Grade : Anders.

Since that time the League has made rapid progress, having obtained a banner given by the Virginia Educational Association every year. The aims and purposes of our League are five-fold: Citizenship. The primary purpose of our league is to provide numerous opportunities for training good citizens. The goal soug ' ht is to develop the all round good citizens by creating an atmosphere that will form the desirable habits of appreciation, skills and school attitude. Each child during the school term is g ' iven some definite work which will benefit and help him to meet other situations throughout his school life. Co-operation. The guiding principle of our league is co-operation. The programs are planned by the pupils with the aid of a faculty member twice a month. These programs are adapted to meet the local needs of the school. Much interest is shown and student activity is encourag ' ed by the competition be- tween the fifth, sixth and seventh grades in preparing the league programs. Health. We have tried in every practical way to promote more healthful conditions, both in the school and community. Health charts are kept daily to encourage the boys and girls to keep the ten essential health rules. Trash barrels have been placed on the school grounds. The pupils of the league have been in- strumental in keeping the school grounds in a better condition. Much com- petition has been manifested through health posters made by the different grades. Recreation. “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy,” as the old adage goes is very true, so play has been brought in with our daily physical activity period. The last half of each period is enjoyed by playing games, relay races and bv having drills. These games bring out the good traits of self-mastery, loyal- ty, obedience and justice. Self Improvement. The fifth and last purpose of our league is to stimulate the pupils to make the most of the opportunities of life and most of themselves. The importance of getting an education is stressed frequently. The league seeks to de velop an appreciation of good music, pictures, books and God’s great-out-of-doors. Self improvement is the improvement of the soul as one of our great states- men said. School life affords the students an excellent opportunity to realize that the obedience to God’s will is man’s only way of lifting his own life to the highest level of possibility. 1 9 2 9 1 9 2 9 rtmarp department Teachers 51 m Miss Lilv Garver Miss Mary Thon ' .pson Pupils Billy Carper Earl Coulson, Lee Coulston, Robert Creamer, Harry Bob Denny, Kenneth Peyton, Julian Hillyard, Kenneth Jobe, Max Largent, Carter Lupton, Russell H.

Zumbro Fifty-tour SctibitieS of Ef)t patrons’ Heague Last fall the Patrons’ League presented the Swarthmore Chautauqua at the Parish Hall. Three days of wholesome amusement were enjoyed by alb The entertainment being presented on a fifty-fifty basis was a financial suc- cess for the League. The money is being used for the improvement of the school property. Among the improvements that the League has sponsored are the construc- tion of an arc driveway, leading ' from the public highway to the steps of the school building ' . This permits the parking of cars on the school grounds and removes the risk of accident, due to the pupils getting in and out of their cars on the public road ; at the present time piping is being laid for the pur- pose of conducting the water from the Ag ' ricultural lor to ' he main building This year the League was instrumental in having the library put far above the state requirement. The League also aided the yearbook of the school in its production. A keen interest has been manifest in many things of slight improvement around the grounds and building ' s such as the trimming of the grass, che planting of flowers and the repairing of the driveway. The Patrons’ League has had a very successful season with cooperation manifested by its members. Regular meeting ' s are held during the school year on the second Monday of each month in the school auditoriunt to which every patron or friend is cordially invited. Fifty-five t 1) 0 0 I p i r i t It is the attitude you take that makes or breaks your life, your heart, your school. You can make your school, or you can ruin your school. The stand- ards of your school depend upon your every action. Your personal conduct is what counts. It would be no credit to you if your school were not well thought of. Perhaps it was by some insult or slam of yours that it received its low stand- ard in the eyes of others. The least we can do is to stop knocking and start pushing- our school to its greatest heights. We should not let our own personal feelings keep us from boosting our school to the top. Co-operate with everyone in the school, your teachers- your class and your schoolmates, and see how much good can be gained and how much better we feel when we are pushing and not knocking. Don’t back out of a thing just because you are not going to derive some benefit from it. It’s for the honor and glory of the school that you are work- ing and not for your own merits. Co-operation is what is needed in most cases. Perhaps one or two will not give in because they wish to spite someone else, or because they wish to be coaxed. We should not be this type. We should always be willing and ready to help whenever we can.

To keep this form being true at B. A. H. S., the Home Economics Department has given several delightful parties during the year. As the witches and g ' oblins descended on the night of October thirty-first to cast their phantasmagoric influence on Mother Earth, they found strolling on wheel and foot, pleasure-seeking hearts to the vocational building of B. A. H. S. There they were greeeted with the friendly smiles of the future workers in Home Economics. After several hours of pleasure followed by enticing refreshments, the party disbanded, but only for the time being. Agnin, as the Yuletide Spirit rolled its cheerful countenance around the school on the night of December the twentieth, and also as we heard again the story of George Washington and his hatchet on February twenty-second we found our “future home-makers” greeting us over the same threshold with the usual alluring welcome that we had received before. Evenings, of en- joyment were spent, and hearts of gladness followed as the homeward bound. turned The Home Economics Department did not stop with the thoug ' ht of the school itself, but on the evening of April ninth, it tendered a delig ' htful banquet to the Future Farmers of America and their “Dads” in the Parish Halb where about eighty of the Farmers and Sons of the Agricultural de- partment gathered around the banquet table. Such social activities as these may be said to have two results : First, it gives that element of pleasure which is necessary to all forms of work. Second, it teaches the pupils one of those essential understandings of life — the ability to act properly on all occasions. Such is the spirit of B. A. H. S. 1 9 2 9 Sixty W iTTVeVt Avvey Movt ,4aT,1 Sixty-one i) Jf I a s; i) e si Two plays were presented this past year.

They went through the Regular schedule of ten games without suffering a single defeat and closed the season b} ' winning the F. F. V. championship of this district. Then they met their first defeat at the hands of Fishersville in the Northern Va. F. F. V.: tourna- ment which Merriwether Lewis finally won. In ten scheduled games Boyce scored a total of 242 points against 133 for their opponents. The opposition in these games was furnished by Leesburg, Upperville, Handley, Middletown, Kearneysville, and Berryville F. F. V. The major part of the attack was carried on by the five regulars : Taven- ner and Pifer as forwards ; Royston center ; Garver and Hook guards, but Colston as guard, Dearmont, Hummer and Jones at forward gave good ac- counts of themselves when they were called upon for relief work and they saw service in many of the games. Although not getting in any of the games Rodgers, Lucas, Bell, Brown, and Anders did their part toward the develop- ment of the team by helping furnish opposition for them in practice sessions and will g ' et their chance later for the varsity five. Individual stars would be next to impossible to pick as each man was wil- ling to subordinate individual stardom for team play, using a short pass game which eventually worked the ball into scoring ' territory where one of the team could drop it throug ' li the hoop. Those receiving monograms were : Robert Colston, Jerome Garver, Charles Hook, William Pifer, Charles Roys- ton, and Charles Tavenner. As onl} Tavenner, Garver,. regulars, and Hummer, of the relief, will be lost we are looking forward next year to another team that can carry on where the 1929 quintet left off.

Gonsidering the lack of experienced players, we should think of the girls’ team as being good sports and doing considerably well during the past season There were two players this year who will leave the team, Edith Wiley and Gathleeii Thompson, both have been successful. During the past year there have been several of the high school girls trained, they are : Marian Martin, Hazle Kibler, Mae Burch, Marguerite Jolliffe, Louise Martin, and Ophia Garroll. We feel sure this help was ap- p preciated and hope that after losing our two players, that our team will be |$ strengthened and more victorious bv the help of these girls. p AVe think that the team of the past season should be congratulated for their team work and sportsmanship as all these were new players, several were substitutes of last year but were not accustomed to playing in competi- tive games. jf. iiWonosram Club The Monog ' ram Glub was organized this year.

With- out athletics it would be dihicult for a school to successfully exist because athletics tend to break the monotony of school life by g ' iving the pupils re- creation, besides endowing them with a greater love for their school and more interest in class work. Running hand in hand with athletics is school spirit, for by school spirit is meant — good sportsmanship, loyalty to the school and the manner by which the students boost their school teams. Some schools have been known to turn out exceeding ' ly successful teams (figuratively speaking), but to be larking in sportsmanship, or using- foul means by which to obtain their athletes or win their games. In other instances there have been teams that have emerged from everv game defeated, but with clear consciences, and happy through the knowledge that they have done their best in uphold- ing the honor and integrity of themselves and of the school that they have fought for, in a hard but sportsmanlike manner. Instances as these are confronted practically every year, and it only tends to explain the great importance of athletics to the school spirit to its repu- tation, both in athletics and the school as a unit. Another interpretation of the meaning of school spirit is the effort on the part of the students to keep the building- clean and neat, and to beautifv the campus. This is also one of the principle means by which a school is judged. For by this is determined in a larg-e measure, the health, disposition and suc- cess in class work of the pupils.

That fact prompted her to sugg ' est the organization of an Aluinrd Association. The above nine wrote their approval of the idea, and about the same number met her in her class-room one morning , the last week of school. Organization and the de- cision to have a bancpiet, together with the appointment of a committee to complete preparations for the Ijanciuet. took all the time. Oscar Carr was elected president and Martha Hemsley secretary-treasurer. The banquet, held June 26, 1919, was attended by Misses Marguerite and Kathleen Smallwood, and Mr. Harvey Neville of 1914; Mrs. Charles Jones of 1915, Miss Lillie Carver and Messrs. Clarke Lloyd, Oscar Carr, and Lantz Hauptman (entire class) of 1916; Misses Goldia Dearmont, Katherine Jones, Mar) Renell, and Messrs.

Jones, and Miss Cox. I ' he Alumni present were most enthusAstic aliout being- org-anized as sponsors of Boyce Hig ' h School, and this banquet was, at the same time a very earnest and an exceeding ' ly joyous g ' athering. The annual g-atherings since have been dances, picnics, and banquets. Only full graduates are eligible for membership. The chief purpose of this organization is to sponsor and aid the school. Several donations have been made to the school Library. In 1925 forty dollars was given to the High School Chemistry Apartment. Flowers were sent to a high school student in the hospital. A g ' ift of money rVas given to a student ill at the sanitarium. A lorely cedar chest was sent to Mary Small- -ood, while she was ill at Catawaba in 1924. The Association financed the plates for some cartoons, for the 1924 issue of “44ie Tatler,” drawn bv Lvdia Smith. The Association offers every year a gold medal to the senior acquiring certain standards. The standards are rather high, but there has been only one vear when no graduate qualified. 4 he standards are: Average of 90 for subjects for each session. Never having lieen conditioned in any one year on more than two subjects. Averag ' e 90 on deportment for the first three years, and 95 for the senior year. Ex- cellent record in each of the four years in attendance, klust show school spirit by taking part in literary and athletic activities. In 1927 the medal was given by the class of 1911, consisting of Garland Kerfoot and Oliver Ahllis. The medal for 1929 is to be g ' iven by the class of 1913, consisting of Vir- giu ' a Hansucker, Ruth Carper, Lillie Hauptman, Mamie Stephenson, Bessie Stephenson, and Beverly Holland. ' I ' hese classes asked especially for this honor. The medal winners are; 1925 John Siler; 1926 Josephine Golightly ; 1927 Frances Jolliffe. Especially to he appreciated is the responsiveness of the earlier g ' raduates of the school to appeals sent to them. 1 9 2 9 Eighty ® fj e C c f) o i Back To Methuselah or Up From Slavery or Some Other Appropriate Title. By: Harvey A. Neville Being a probable, if not too accurate account of what he learned at B. A. H. S. and has been unable to forget. Althoug ' h I am neither an octog ' enarian nor a veg ' etarian, I have un doubtedly been asked to contribute to this publication because I am “one of the oldest living Alumni.” Also, it is superfluous to add — and for that rea- son I do so — the request came through fvliss Theodora C. Cox of whom you may have heard. When this lad} has once had the powet of demanding written work from you. it becomes impossible to break the habit of obed- ience. Miss Cox formerly lived on Main Street in Millwood, but now re- sides in the country near the city. In order for her to make that desirable change in residence is it was unnecessary for her to move — the State Hig-h- way Commission considerably moved the road. As a precedent for this you may recall the saying , “When the mountain would not come to Mohomet, Mohomet went to the mountain.” I introduce Miss Cox at the outset of this narrative and definitely locate her for you, because I shall have to refer to her quite often. In fact, I ani! somewhat confused in my own mind as to whether the institution of learn- ing 1 attended was Miss Cox or Boyce Agricultural High School. I suggest for her epitaph, “She was once an institution and is now a myth.” However, this is premature, and I trust will not be needed soon. It was she who taught me the use of the subject and predicate, and I have been using them ever since. If I had ever used them before, I was not con- scious of doing so. What modifies a preposition and how much, was ex- plained. Abraham Lincoln spent his youth splitting- rails : I spent mine split- ting infinitives. He used an axe; my implement was an adverb. Then there were poems to study and to memorize, tions such as the following; “A cornflake on the saucer’s brim, A carbohydrate was to him — And so was shredded wheat. . . .’ I can still recall por- Agricultural Course at that tin: was also taught by Miss Cox. The from this course or from English, depending This, I think Miss Cox said, illustrated Wordsworth’s love of chemistry. Th following frag ment is either t’pon whether it is correct science or only correct meter: “Tlie fig has a thousand seeds, Poor prunes but one. Corn is a. dicot} ledon And grows in the sun.” n Eighty-one 1 j The motto of the Class of 1914 was “Stare in antiqnas vias.” This for the 3 benefit of those taking- the bigg ' er and better Agricnltural Course, I must % explain is Latin and may l)e freely translated. “Go forrvard looking back- $1 ward.” This is not intended for drivers of automobiles or pedestrians on 5ji the sidewalks of ] I ill wood. In our day, however, automobiles were as few as the sidewalks of Millwood still are. In those days, as my contemporaries will affirm, we did not “motor” to obtain our education. Any horse-power which we used had first to be caught, curried, fed ,and hitched before it would furnish transportation. You will note that, after all, I am looking- backrvard over a period of only fifteen years. V hen you do this lifteen years hen ce, you will undoubtedly note far greater chang-es in that period. I predict that you will find the youth of that day expending- less effort even than those of to- day in the pursuit (or escape) of learning-. Probably they will simply tune in on Station Ik A. II. S. to have the algebra problems explained while they partake of breakfast in bed. And that recalls the story of the alg-ebra stud- ent who worked hours on a problem and covered sheets of paper — even as yon and 1. ' hen he finally solved it, he found X equals 0. “Gosh,” or worse, said he, “all that work for nothing-!” 91 % j 5| 3| 5j 51i 3| I I 1 2 TitkSniiZiL’riifl T anti tUfjerc (Among the Alumni) Martha Hemsley Brown writes that housekeeping in a modern apartment does not keep one busy, so her present work is X-Ray and Metabolism Technirin n. “I am preparing myself for the medical school at the University.” Richard de Butts. k Oliver Wdllis figures and figures and figures, but says he enjoys figuring Immenselv.
