HOSE of us who attended school in the old four room, frame school house, have many unpleasant recollections of the crowded, poorly lighted and badly 7 tix ventilated 'rooms which were heated by--coal stoves. The building was erected S3 in l870 and at that time was the first Normal School in Virginia. '- ' The need of a new building had been felt for some time and due to . the persistent efforts of the District Board, which was composed of D. C. Graham, Chairman, C. T. Callender, and S. Good, a new building was secured. ln I9l l, the old school was torn down and a modern eight room building was erected on the same site at the cost of f pl4,000. The town was very proud of this splendid school and it thought that it would meet the needs of the community for the next twenty years. The new building was opened in November l9l l with an enrollment of IS7 in the grades and 20 in the High School. That year the High School met the state require- ments for a three year High School. The number of pupils completing the three year High School Course was as follows: l9l2-5, I9I3-6, l9l4-6, l9l5-3, l9l6-I4. The Ladies Improvement League was organized Dec. ll, l9l4, with Mrs. D. Reeves as the first president. The League has always been very active and is quite a benefit to the school. Every year it furnishes the school with several hundred dollars worth of equipment. 'lihe growth of the High School was gradual until I9l6-I7, when the school was made an accredited four year High School with a term of nine months. The salaries of the teachers for the last month were paid by the Ladies Improvement League. As Bridgewater had the only accredited four year High School in the District for several years, the school grew very rapidly. The enrollment in the High School that year was 75. Nine members of the l9l6 class returned and completed the fourth year's work. Due to the rapid increase in enrollment in the High School, the building was in- adquate and the I. O. O. F. Hall was leased by the School Board in 1918 and two of the grades were moved there. This Hall was purchased in 1922 by the Board and is now used as a gymnasium, auditorium and Home Economics Department. . In September.l9l8 the Smith-Hughes Agriculture gDepartment was added to the school. Atshop building was erected and until February l923 both class and shop work were carried on in this building. Now the agricultural laboratory and library are housed in the main building and the regular class work is done here. In the shop building, to which a forge room has been added, the boys may have wood, leather and iron work. There were eleven members in the graduating class in l9l8. The class of I920 was the largest in the history of the school. It was composed of 32 members. The following year 22 graduatedg last year's class numbered 30. In l922 the Smith Hughes Home Economics Department, which occupies the entire second floor of the High School Hall, was opened with a regular teacher in charge. The Twenty-four A URORA foods and clothing laboratories and oHice are so arranged that the work may be carried on as in the home. The equipping of this department for efficient work has been the problem of this year, but due to the cooperation of the community and State Department, the problem has been solved and we have a well equipped school home. During the last five years Bridgewater High School has increased her laboratory equipment for General Science, Economic Geography, Chemistry and Physics so much, that only very large cities can offer any superior advantages. The science work has received much commendation from state inspectors. The library, which has just been recatalogued, consists of 588 volumnes. A four room annex, costing approximately SI 7,000 was added to the Main Building in the fall of l922. A new heating plant was installed. The School Plant consisting of the Main Building, the High School Hall and the Agriculture Building, equipment and grounds, is valued at nearly 550,000 Bridgewater has one of the largest and best equipped rural High Schools in the state. The faculty is composed of I3 members. Six grade teachers and seven in the high school, four of whom' teach regular high school subjects, a music teacher who teaches throughout the grades, a Home Economics teacher, and an Agriculture teacher. The present enrollment of the school is 387, 233 in the grades and I54 in the high school. Note the marked increase in the enrollment in the high school in the last ten years. In 1913 the enrollment was I6, and in I923-154. The development and the high efficiency of the school has been reached through the untiring efforts of our principal, Miss Sanger, the spended cooperation of the faculty, and the loyal support of the community. Since Bridgewater became a four year High School in 1916-I7 there have been II4 graduates-44 of whom have entered college, -4 the Normal School, 30 teachers, I5 in business, 2 professional nurses, I pharmacist, and l deceased.

For three years, Wilbur has been an efficient leader of his class, piloting them over many troubled seas and making port in safety with them at the -end of the four year voyage. That he is also an athlete is proved by the fact that 'he has won his letters every time the schcol has awarded them since he has been playing basket ball and baseball. Pete is socially inclined too, and when he is a few minutes late to schcol we all wonder whether he has kept late hours studying or visiting. When asked After High School What? he replies, I don't know. We predict for him success in whatever he undertakes. MATTIE ALICE MILLER Secretary, Freshman, Sophomore, Junior and Senior Classesg Manager' Basketball Team '23g Associate Editor Aurora: Member Class Basketball Team '22g Member Debating Team '23g Marshal Commencement 'ZZQ School Pianist D-e-p-e-n-cl-a-b-l-e spells Mattie for she is always ready to lend a helping hand. Whether it be to play a march, take charge of an absent teacher's room, or help with a program, Mattie is right there. And whatever she undertakes she is sure to accomplish. Her unfailing courage has won many honors for her and we speak with pride when we say she was chosen to represent our school as one of the debators in the State Literary and Athletic Contests. Mattie has chosen teaching as a profession. She says she will never marry unless he has the disposition of her father but we wonder if strong arms will have a great influence on her final decision. Her numerous capabilities are enhanced by a channing personality and a host of true friends wish her happiness and success in the future. Twenty-aight A URORA , . l RALPH THOMAS BAKER Ralph, better known as Fig began his school life at Bridgewater. He is one of whom we say he is little but loud. In his school work he has shown marked mental ability, being famed for getting along with very little real work. Fig,' often takes a vacation, lasting sometimes for several days. When he can't be found around the school or store, the best place to search, will be about half way between Bridgewater and Harrisonburg. What is interesting him there is a question. He has not decided what he will do after he leaves high school. We predict he will try to find an easy way to solve all his problems. MARJORIE ELIZABETH CARROLL Marjorie who is better known as Bajjie among her friends came to us in her junior year having spent her first two years in high school at lVlt. Crawford. Being quiet and independent she was a little hard to get acquainted with but her constancy has gained her many loyal friends. Marjorie excells in mathematics and all of us expect some day to note with pride her success as a math teacher. A URORA Twenty-nine 1 MARTHA ETHEL DIEI-ll.. Class Basketball Team '22 Cheerful and good natured-that's Martha. She came to us in the junior year having spent the first two years of high school at Churchville. Though she was very quiet about it, it was not longe before we learned of her poetic ability, and this is her first and greatest poem: As I was coming from the river, I got so wet it made me shiver. Martha is also a delight in English class for she answers questions with a little accent all her own. She expects to teach next winter and as she leaves us we wish her the greatest success the future may hold. ' - IVA REBECCA EVERS Basketball Team '23p Distributing Manager, Aurora: Class Basketball Team '22g Marshal Commence- ment, '22 Here's to Iva, jolly chum, good natured, kind, loving, ever ready to help any who need her. If you hear a giggle, be sure Iva is near. She is ever laughing and talking. She is faithful in every duty whether to play the game or cheer the playerf' Her talents are many but as saleswoman she leads the school, either in selling candy, or getting subscribers to the annual. Rumor says Iva has selected her life work, be that as it may, we wish her all joy, wherever she is, and whatever she is doing, for Iva will be doing good. Thirty AURORA RUTH ALICE. HARIVIAN Ruth belongs to the class of '23 by right of promotion from the eighth grade. She is ever punctual and regular in attendance at school. She is a real student. Her industry has been rewarded by many good grades. Ruth is sedate, modest, frank, and just a bit timid. It may be said of her still water runs deep. She is the kind of girl you could think you knew and then find out you did not know her at all. She has selected teaching for her work and will spend the summer at the Normal. Many good wishes to Ruth and congratulations to the school which secures so faithful a worker. DOROTHY MCDOWELL HENRY School Pianist A still tongue means a wise head. Such may be said of Dot for she is a quiet girl who goes about her work and makes very little fuss over it. We all envy her calmness in time of stress. Nothing upsets her, not even the fact that she is a better musician than Spanish student. She realizes that long preparation is required to assure success in anything and we wish for her the fulfillment of her desire for a college education. A Tflifly-0114? MABEI.. VIRGINIA LAYMON Mabel joined the class of '23 at the opening of the senior year. She spent one session in the Mount Crawford High School and two in the Harrisonburg I-Iigh School. It was a favorable wind that blew Mabel to us. Her unfailing good humor, her cheery hello have endeared her to all. She says she would rather cook a good meal than study, even Physics. just remember the evidence the class has of her ability as a hostess. Ir is a wonder she does not prepare for a home economics teacher but perhaps some prince charming can persuade her to become a real home maker. ARLIE. CLICK LONG Basketball Team '21, '22, 235 Baseball Team, '2l. '22, '23g Manager Basketball Team, '23g Manager Baseball Team, '23g Business Manager Aurorag Class Basketball Team '22g Mar- shal Commencement '22 Among the good there is ever the best. Arlie, known to his school mates as Mutt, is certainly one of the best. Quiet, serious, reliable, these and many more adjectives are necessary to classify this faithful manager. I-lis natural characteristics fitted him for guard on the basketball team. He does not talk much, but what he says countsg he think before he speaks or acts. I-Ie is musical as well as athletic. He is interested in radio and was one of the first of our boys to make a set himself. Arlie likes all 'the girls and all the girls like Arlie. May the brightest of futures await him as he goes out from high school. Tliirzy-two AURORA ALPHA FLORENCE LONG Dainty and modest are the adjectives that describe Alpha. She has spent four years at B. H. S. and there is a warm place for her in the hearts of her class mates. She is an excellent student too and one may always find her papers grouped with the best. She has two hobbies, the feeding of pet lambs and gathering eggs and when we consider her future we wonder if farm life won't claim her. As yet she has left us in doubt but nevertheless the class of '23 wishes her success in whatever she undertakes. MARY SUE MAXWELL Sue has spent her entire high school life at Bridgewater. Her witty sayings and winning smile are a delight to all and wherever she is one may always find a host of admiring friends. Sue surmounted every obstacle in the way with triumph until Physics appeared on the horizon and then her happy smile began to fade, but only for a short while for Sue also has a determination to succeed. Her future is unsettled for it is still a question in her mind whether to develope her dramatic abilities or make use of these same abilities in helping to brighten the lives of others in the missionary field. We predict a brilliant future for her. . A URORA Thirty-three LESTER BENJAMIN MILLER Art Editor, Aurora Lester came to B. H. S. in his junior year, the fall of l92l. His school mates call him Benjamin Firefly. He is especially fond of the part of physics which deals with the Morse Code of dots and dashes. I-le is one of our jolliest class mates and has been known to interest the class in fun, at the wrong time. He seems to be a great favorite with the ladies but that is natural since he is an artist. I-le is undecided whether to make music or art his life work. If the paintings we have seen interest others as they do the class of '23 his future success is assured. EDITH SUSAN MILLER Associate Editor of Aurora No words will express Edith better than faithful and eflicient. She came to us in the junior year. Science is her favorite subject. She was a star in Chemistry and in Phy- sics her ability to grasp the meaning of the author is a source of wonder to her class mates and a delight to her teacher. Edith's interest in science has not blinded her to the beauty of the English language for when searching for an associate editor for Aurora, she was the natural choice. Many fields of endeavor lie open to a student such as Edith and we wonder whether she will win fame as a scientist, a journalist or spend all her days making home happy for someone. Thifly-four AURORA EDNA LEONA MILLER Secretary junior League, ,239 Basketball Team '23: Athletic Editor Aurorag Marshal Commencement '22 Eclna's jolly good natured smile brightens any group of which she is a part just as her gay laugh and ready tongue enlivens many a dull hour: She is independent, capable and industrious. Any one who has observed her in home economics realizes she will be a splendid home maker, for she can both sew and cook. Pegs greatest desire is to prove true the saying laugh and grow fatnbut so far she is still regretfully saying I have gained only three pounds. However, her slender height combined with her energy and vim macle her a hue center on the basketball team. Peg insists she never intends tof change her name. Why? The best wishes of the class of '23 follow her into her i e work. GEORGE ELMER MYERS Vice-President Senior Class: Class Basketball Team '2Ig Member Baseball Team '2l, '22, '23, Basketball Team, 235 Member Debating Team, '23: Editor-in-Chief Aurorag Marshal Commencement, '22 Elmer, as he is known to us, has had a varied educational experience, attending school at Rushville, Clover Hill, Spring Creek and entering B. l-l. S. in the fall of 1920, in his Sophomore year. The fund of general knowledge gained in these schools fitted him for the important position of Editor-in-chief of Aurora, our Hrst annual, as well as winning for him a place on the debating team. His talents are many-literary, mathematical, scientific, musical and athletic, in fact, he is a UG. E.. M. l-le delights in amusing the ladies with whom he is a general favorite. We predict for him the same ability to solve life's problems that he has shown in solving school problems. Of this we are very sure, he will be esteemed by all and a help to any community in which he lives. A U RORA Tlliffy-ITV? MAZIE. ORA MILLER Photograph Editor, Aurora A still tongue makes a wise head. Mazie is a quiet girl who goes about her work and makes no fuss about it. It is said she came as calmly to school when she was just a tiny little tot as she does now, when a dignified senior. She is an excellent student and has moved steadily towards her goal-graduation from high school. Do you need a friend? Mazie is ever ready to help any who need her. Earnest, faithful, helpful, generous, these and many other words are needed to truly characterize our Mazie. She has decided to teach next year and we predict for her much success for she truly loves the little people. Later she expcts to go in training for a nurse. She has the best wishes of her school mates, class mates, and teachers for a splendid future. ROY SOLOMON WRIGHT Member Baseball Team '2I. '22, '23g Member Basketball Team '22, 235 Class Basketball, 'Zig Dis- tributing Manager Aurora Roy entered B. H. S. in the fall of i920 in his sophomore year, having completed his first year's work at Spring Creek. Whatever he undertakes he finishes, as that strong determination of his wields its magic wand over all obstacles and those obstacles cease to be. His one weakness is the seeming indifference to his studies when brooding over what Katy did. Several Mondays Roy has entered the schoolroom with a sleepy look, betraying that he has once more traversed the long up country route, namely, the Mid- dlebrook pike. His highest ambition is to be the master of his own house. To prepare himself for! this, -he will enter college in the near future. Roy has the heartiest wishes for success 'fromthe class of '23. Tliirty-six A URORA If I I I l MERLE. DE. VEDA SENGER Spelling Team, 235 Photograph Editor, Aurora IVIerle began her educational career before she reached Bridgewater. She has been a member of the class of '23 from its beginning. She has always been a good student, but excels especially in mathematics. She possesses the art of learning all the news in and around Bridgewater and passing it on to less gifted creatures. Gossip? No, indeed! She is simply passing on what she has heard. She has benefitted the community very much with her general knowledge. Her sunny disposition and cheery smile have made her popular among her class mates. She expects to enter college in the fall. The class pre- dicts for her a successful career in college. ALDA VIRGINIA SHIPIVIAN Class Basketball Team '22g Advertising Manager Aurora, School Pianist Alcla can see fun in everything if her expression is to be used as a guide to her feelings. Chattie,s jolly laugh, or rippling giggle, often betrays her whereabouts. Her ready tongue makes her a most interesting companion. While she does not believe in being long faced, she does believe in getting her lessons and usually is ready with an answer to any question the teacher may ask. She has not allowed her fun to lower grades. She excels especially in English, though she does good work in all subjects. Chattie's favorites are Baker's Chocolates and Love Me face powder. Her untir- ing energy has made her high school career successful and will secure for her more success in any field she may enter. The class of '23 can wish for her nothing more than that her life may fulhll it's highest promises. A URORA 'Thirty-seven VADA ELIZABETH WINE Spelling Team. '23g Class Basketball Team. '22 The thing we shall remember best about Vada is her never failing smile, which appeared with her entrance into the junior year, with the class of '23. I-ler good nature, her unselfishness, her faithfulness to duty, her loyal sympathy for all have endeared her to her class mates and teachers. When she first came to B. H. S. so great was her interest in Spanish that her name was Senorita to her friends but lately, either from her change of interests or the thoughtfulness of friends, she no longer has that name. Vada plans to teach next year. We wish her much success in her work and if she takes this work with the same zeal and earnestness which she brought to her work in high school we know her success is assured. ARGYLE MAE WIMER Argyle, familiarly called Archaball by her class mates, came to B. H. S. three months after the opening of the session of l922-23. She showed her determination to finish her high school course by having the courage to enter a new school so late in the senior year. Not daunted by strangers around her, she has calmly pursued her way to complete her work and has won a warm place in the hearts of class mates and teach- ers. She is jolly, yet sincere and thoughtful. She is the youngest and smallest of the class. Her,.plans for her future .are .not matured. She hopes to go to college. We feel sure her success is assured no matter what held she may enter.

SUE MAXWELL MERLE SENGER A URORA Thirty-nine Class History I ANCIENT PERIOD September of nineteen hundred nineteen, the class of '23 fook a big step in determining the future of seventeen lives by entering Bridgewater High School. 'lihe memory of that first day is yet very pleasant at the time of playful reminiscence. Appaled by the new surroundings and desiring a firm founda- ' , tion, the class did not organize this first year, but was engaged in preliminary - . - developments and amusements for the three upper classes. Its members gradually grew more accustomed to the new home and the activities of the High School. Interest in these activities became stronger and thus the l923 class began to take an active part and become a real factor in the school organization. I si N txf fr' . Ig? I 5 LI II MEDIEVAL PERIOD 'lihe class was enlarged from seventeen to twenty-two at the beginning of the Sophomore year by the enrollment of students coming from nearby secondary schools. By this time our surroundings became more home-like and familiar. The awe, harbored for the rest of the student body the preceding year, had entirely vanished. Th class met the first of the new school year and organized as follows: WI'LBUll C. MILLER .,I........I.................,...,.,...........,,,..,. PRESIDENT G. ELMER MYERS ..................,................,,........... VICE-PRESIDENT MATTIE A. MILLER ,,........,..,,......... SECRETARY-TREAsURER This year was marked by a signal triumph over the other classes. In the inter- class basket ball contests the Sophomores emerged victorious andwere proclaimed cham- pions of the school session 1920-'2l. The social activities were also greatly increased during the second year. The class had several successful and enjoyable social gatherings. These gatherings inspired its mem- bers to such an extent that they developed a desire for repetition and henceforth have vigorously tried to satisfy this desire by numerous gatherings of like character during the last three years of high school life. At the beginning of the school session l92I-'22 the class had the misfortune of losing several of its members, who had decided to put an end to their educational career. However several new members were added, bringing the enrollment for the year to twenty- four. With an increase in members there came an increase of hardships. The entangling propositions and problems in Geometry which were required to be unraveled, the myster- ious and awe inspiring effects of Chemistry and the many written and oral themes given in English gave a slight realization of what was to come the following year. At the close of the year a new duty awaited the class, namely, the customary enter- tainment of the Seniors by the Juniors. This was done by a weenie and marshmellow roast one clear and beautiful moonlight night upon the banks of North River at a place known as The Willows . This delightful privilege is now handed clown to the '24 class. III MODERN PERIOD The Senior year has been a very happy one though it was a source of regret to the class that we lost several members for various causes, such as sickness' and marriage. To rm. W 4 AURORA offset this loss we gained three new members of whom we are justly proud. There have been some events that stand out, not only concerning the class of '23 but the rest of the school as well. An addition to the school building has been erected and all through the days of the first semester the daily rat-a-tat-tat of carpenters' tools were reverberating through the rooms. This noise disturbed study somewhat, but the student body adjusted itself most admirably, with the gratifying thought that crowded conditions would be removed by the new addition. October 4, 1922 was rather a red letter day for the Seniors. As its members were accustomed to outdoor life and had not grown used to the schoolroom yet they decided that, to settle down to hard work would be unendurable. ln order to be free for a few days they moved their place of abode to Lynwood Springs where pleasure reigned supreme during four days of camp life with our principal as chaperon. We recommend to other classes both the place and chaperon as being of l00 per cent caliber and the best obtainable. The class has the distinction of being the first to have members completing the Smith-Hughes courses in Agriculture and Home Economics. Three of our number com- plete the Home Ecoonmics course this year, one completed the Agriculture course last year and one completes th course this year. Among the students awarded letters this year in athletics, seven have come from the Senior Class, four of these having previously received them. The fact that two members of the class won honors in the inter-class debating con- test, which was a preliminary to a county contest is worthy of mention. These two persons were Mattie A. Miller and C. Elmer Myers. For this achievement and honor each was awarded a beautiful gold medal by the Times-Dispatch of Richmond. The commencement time is now here. The existence as a class is ended. The faculty, with their ever willing and helpful hands, and the studnt body with whom we have inter-mingled can never be forgotten. The '23 class goes out in life with words of praise and regretful farewell to dear old B. H. S. We Wonder Why--- Peg and Pete are both sleepy on Monday morning.

A URORA Forty-one lnterscholastic Debates Ma,-Ci. 27, 1923 Between 'liimberville High School and Bridgewater High School MATTIE A. MILLER Resolverl: that the principle of lhc Open Shop should apply in American Industry. 'il 'R Chairman, Honorable judges, Ladies and Gentlemen. The question for 'l discussion has been stated by the first aflirmative speaker We the negative ,1 I . Ab 13, X. l l , , 3 , Qt, f wish to prove to you that the principle of the Open Shop should not apply in '5,,q ':f.m.f American lndustry. Let us first get a clear understanding as to what we mean by the closed ffl, nh! ,hr wtf shop. The closed shop is one wherein only union men can work. Now upon this fact, we, the negative, are going to prove to you, first, that the Trade Union is indispensible to the workingman, and that since the open shop does not recog- nize the trade union, it should be abandoned. Secondg that the unions have been and are benehcial, and third: that without the closed shop, labor organizations can do but little for the working class in its upward struggle with the employer class. I will prove the first contention while my colleague proves the second and third. First, in proving that trade unions are indispensible, let us discuss the effectiveness of collective bargaining. Collective bargaining and trade agreements are dependent upon the existence of the union shop. Commons and Andrews, recognized authorities on labor legislation in this country, state in their book on Principles of Labor Legislation on page l I9, that Real collec- tive bargaining is premised upon organization on both sides. This means that repre- sentatives from the employer organizations and the union organizations, meet in a con- ference and make a trade agreement binding upon the individuals of both sides. Furthermore, the National Industrial Conference of l9l5 said, in it's report in Article Seven, on wages: The success and justice of joint agreements and collective bargaining are dependent upon essential equality between the two partiesf' Perhaps the affirmative will point out where this equality exists in the open shop principle. On the one hand you have the unlimited moral and financial resources of capital, backed up by the powerful employers and merchants associationsg on the other you have the weak individual laborer, whose only resource is his wages, which are perishable. The average laborer, unless backed up by some kind of organization cannot exist for more than a week if deprived of his wages. Samuel C-ompers says, in his bulletin on Collective Bargaining, that collective bar- gaining is the only practical proposal for adjusting relations between the management and workers in a business way, assuring a fair deal to both sides. This fair deal can only be secured by the working men organizing and bargaining with the employers. What can one individual do with a shrewd and experienced employer? Some years ago, the employers were unorganizd. Now they have organizations and are capable of meeting in a body, problems that arise. Shall we grant them the right to organize and have dominion over the working class? NO. The spirit of our forefathers is evidenced in the Americans today. They will not submit to the tyranny of the organized employers. Lincoln, in his Gettysburg address, says, l7ourscore and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Since men are Forly-lnro A URORA created equal, the working class has the right to organize and meet the employer class on an qual basis. It is contrary to Society that a working man should meet his employer on an intellectual basis. judge C-ary, leader of the steel industry, says that he will deal with no man outside of his employment, but that he will meet any of his workers man to man. Imagine a furnace tender in judge Crary's steel mill, meeting him on an intellec- tual basis. lntellectual equality could not exist under the open shop where the unedu- cated bargainer is left at the mercy of the educated employer. Through collective bargaining and through collective bargaining only, can the working man have the rights that are his. Then, since collective bargaining is effective only in unions where there is an organization able to cope with the shrewd employers, and, since collective bargaining is essential to the very existence and rights of the working man, union shops should prevail. Since the open shop does not recognize trade unions and l have just proved to you that labor unions are essential to the working man, it is evident that the closed shop should apply in American lndustry. Conditions of employment in many of the non-unionized industries are unendurable. Unions stand for the betterment of the working class. They secure shorter hours and better conditions of work. ln Current Economics, by Hamilton, on page 599, Andrew Carnegie says, My experience has been that trade unions, upon the whole, are bene- ficial both to Labor and Capital. They certainly educate the working men and give them a truer conception of the relations of Capital and Labor than they could other- wise form. In the same book, on page 583, Chas. H. Cooley says, ln the way of influencing legislation, Labor Unions have probably done more than all the other agencies together to combat Child Labor, excessive hours and other inhumane and degrading kinds of work. On page'75 of Professor Townes' economic book, he says, The Labor Unions have almost invaribly been found aligned with those forces opposed to Child Labor, Before the organization of the American Federation of Labor the big cities of the country were hlled with sweat shops. The trade unions 'movement was the means of driving the sweat shops from the tenement houses. They compelled the establish- ment of factories in well ventilated buildings. We might call the sweat shops, the non-union shops. The Labor Unions have done away with the sweat shops. Letus for a moment look upon the picture of a sweat shop. We see a dingy, dirty, poorly light- ed and poorly ventilated room in a tenant house. Around a rickety table the mother of the family and ten children are working on garments to be sent to some large clothing establishment. In one corner on a dirty couch, lies a child dying with scarlet fever. These people, housed in this small room, with practically no ventilation are certainly subjected to the disease. And, still worse, the garments they are making will undoubtedly carry the fever germ. This is a typical immigrant home. Perhaps you people, here in this room, have bought articles made in the sweat shops. If the Labor Unions have done away with these sweat shop conditions, is this not enough to make these organizations immortal? Furthermore, excessive hours of labor prevent men from becoming good American citizens. If a laborer is compelled to work long hours in order to keep his family he becomes disinterested in the problems around him, simply because he does not have the time to discuss the current problems of the day. His only leisure is spent in going to and from his work. According to S. A. Shaw in the l9Z0 Survey, more than 52 per cent of the workers in the steel industry, work a I2 hour day. About one half of these, the seven day week. In return for these hours, the steel and iron workers earn from 5 per cent to 25 per cent less than the government estimates for an American standard of living. Then by these long hqursuthe workmen are deprived of the oppor- tunities of outside association and rrecreation. ' Is this fair' to the working man? Why should he not demand his rights? Did not our forefathers by organization free them- A U1-QQRA F arty-three selves from England? Are we, the educated people of America, going to let organi- zations of employers place the working class in subjection? Wheii the Civil Wai' was fought, slaves were made free. Are we going to put the laboring class in the class for- merly held by slaves? Wheii matters have reached a stage where the uneducated and less fortunate Americans are subjected to the employer simply to gain his own ends, it is time that some one interferes. This is exactly what the Labor Unions have done and are doing. Wlihe unionizing of the clothing industry from a sweat shop trade has raised it to an industry where wages and conditions compare favorable with any in- dustry in the United States. Perhaps our opponents can point out an instance where the Open Shop has done away with the sweat shop system. ' Ladies and Gentlemen, in the light of these facts, namely, that the effectiveness of collective bargaining and trade agreements are dependent upon the existence of the closed shop, and that conditions of employment in the non-unionized industries are unendurable can we not readily see from these instances that trade unions are indispensible to the working man, and that the principle of the closed shop should apply in American lndustry? G. ELMER MYERS lVlany diflicult problems have arisen as a result of the industrial struggle between employer and employee, one of which is up for discussion this evening. As my colleague has proved to you that trade unions are indispensible to the working man it shall be my purpose to show first, that labor organizations have been and are beneficial. Second, that without the closed shop labor organizations can do but little for the working class in its upward struggle with the employer class. First, let us probe the conditions of the laborers and see where they stand. Statistics show us that more than half of the people in the world are underfed. Take for a fair example the large country of Russia. In that country where trade unions, and in fact any other organizations are practically unknown the inhabitants are actually starving by the thousands. If the imense resources of that country were developed it would be one of the richest countries of the world. But why are these resources not developed? Simply because there are no organized factors to push the demands of the classes that could utilize them. The country is kept in a continual state of unrest by a few selfish radicals who are seeking political power and there are no powerful organizations to oppose them. Cn the other hand, laborers are organized in the leading nations of the world. France, Belgium, Austria, Denmark, Sweden and England all have powerful labor unions. 'liime will not permit to give an account of the unions in each one of these coun- tries. However, I will give a brief history of the trade Unions in England. Two generations ago trade unions were considered as criminal conspiracies and prohibited by the law of that country. However, the laborers undaunted by the law, which appeared to be against them, kept plodding on toward their goal, that of organizing. They gradually grew more powerful and began to get the popular sentiment of the people by showing the good that would come from the principles they upheld. Today the states- men not only of that country but the other nations before mentioned are strongly in favor of the unions. What has caused this change? The helpful results of the unions which have been recognized by the statesmen. Then too the trade unions act as a humane society. In the by-laws of most of the trade unions -including the American Federation of Labor and the Brotherhood of railroads, is a clause providing for the members in case of sickness, accidents, death, etc. If, for example, a member of a union is stricken with illness, which no one can prevent, the union pays all doctor bills and expenses if illness lingers for three months or more. Is not this a good policy in behalf of the laborers? We can see that the benefits derived from this policy are incalcuable because if the stricken employee had been a non-union man his wages, being scarcely enough to live upon, would not have been sufficient to tide him over the distressing period. f'0ff,,-f0..f AURORA Then again we need trade unions today because they are our only means of securing economic equality between employer and employee. The tendency of business everywhere is to organize. We have our organizations of fruit growers, our organiza- tions of dairymen, poultry raisers. Indeed almost every business of the country is organ- ized. Worthy opponents why not the laborers who are so sorely oppressed and who can do but little to better their conditions unless they are organized? Even the farmers had to organize before they could secure favorable legislation in their behalf. If one should stop to think, it would seem natural that the farmer should receive favoritism because with the farmer quitting all other industries would be paralyzed, as the farm is the only source of our food and food is absolutely essential. Our banking system is organized. The United States government is organized from the local community to the nation, and ladies and gentlemen the employers are organized. There are five hundred local associations of manufacturers in this country. The National Association of manu- facturers is the largest and strongest organization of its kind in the world. The em- ployers through this association influences legislation to secure better prices for commo- dities and cheaper prices for labor. We must have organized labor to bargain with organized employers on an equal basis as my colleague has proved to you. Shall we trust unorganized labor to the scruples of the employer? Experience, the best of teachers, has taught us otherwise. Therefore laborers must be organized. This and this only will insure economic equality. Furthermore Samuel C-ompers in his bulletin on The Union Shop and lts Anthi- thesis' says: The synonyms for union shop and non-union shop are respectively democ- racy and autocracy. Autocracy in industry is where the employer fixes the wages and hours of employment arbitrarityf' Therefore employees in the non-union shops are like cogs in a machine. They have nothing to say as to the conditions under which they may work but must accept any wages, hours and working conditions that may be flxed by the employer. Now, honorable judges since we have made clear that trade unions are absolutely necessary and that they have been and are benehcial I shall now set forth to prove that without the closed shop, labor organizations can do but little for the working class. As I have said before the employers are strongly organized. These powerful com- binations could easily crush the unions by the principle of the open shop as illustrated by the steel industry. F. C. Forral says, in his pamphlet on Trade Unions and lVlonoply, Just so long as the open shop is maintained just so long will the employers have power over employees. Do we want this power to be arrayed with capital. We can readily see the disastrous results of such a combination against laborers. Lastly, with the application of the open shop principle in our industries employers would resort to cheap immigrant labor. These immigrants, the dregs of Europe and elsewhere coming to this country agree to work for a lower wage and the employer cannot be blamed for hiring them. These low wages tend to lower the standard of living of America. Do my opponents dare to say that the lowering of our standard of living is a good thing? Do they dare to refute what Professor Towne in his book on social problems page 52 says, immigrants have a lower standard of living than we Americans and must necessarily lower our standard if allowed to work in our industries. By the adoption of the universal closed shop these immigrants cannot find work as readily as in the open shop and therefore the inducement to come to this country would be lessened. Thereby our great problem of immigration would also be solved. Now, ladies and gentlemen, since we the negative have proved that trade unions are indispensible as the only means of securing collective bargaining, have shown the conditions of employment in the non-unionized industriesg since we have shown that trade unions have been and are beneficial in that they act as humane societies, secure quality and stand for demorcracy and since without the closed shop labor organizations can do but little for the working class in its upward struggle with employers we are brought to the conclusion that the universal closed shop should be adopted.

This class was a record breaker of fifty human beings who walked cautiously about casting timid eyes to those persons who seemed to be their - V superiors, namely, the Seniors. These same Seniors took great delight in frequently calling them rats. lVlount Crawford and Spring Creek must have been well supplied with these animals for each sent five to swell our numbers, though other neighboring schools contributed greatly in making the record breaker. After several weeks of acquaintance, feeling a little more at home, the rats', ventured to call a class meeting over which Miss Cullen presided until the following officers were elected: President, Frank jordan: Vice-President, Hily Wiseg Secretary-Treasurer, Sadie Miller. Throughout the days and months we had our smiles and hardships until Freshman school days came to a close. The class looked forward with great enthusiasm to the next session when its members should be called wise sophomoresn instead of rats. Forty-seven enrolled at the opening of the Sophomore year. On September Zl, a class meeting was called to find out how much the class would do to help increase the library. They decided to assess each member. A committee was appointed to select the books from the parallel readings in the Course of Study. The class collected eleven dollars and seventy-five cents and some much needed books were bought. ln December we decided to add the Ladies' Home Journal and Her Father's Daughter which was secured with the subscription. The class is fortunate in having many good athletes of whom we are justly proud. Dee Craun won his letters in baseball and Ruby Heltzel, Ligon Bell and john Click won in basket ball. The class lost two members during this year. The summer months soon rolled by and September, 1922 found the class assembled at old B. H. S. as Juniors with an enrollment of fifty-two. When the new addition to the building was completed the class at last found a room large enough to house them together. The class spirit was much enlivened, a class motto, We have crossed the bay, the ocean lies before us, was adopted. Class colors: Buff and Brown. Class flower, Honeysuckle. When the basket ball victors were awarded letters nine Juniors were on the list: Ruby I-leltzel, Beulah Wine, Ruby Cupp, Lillian Furry, John C-lick, Frank Jordan, Dee Craun, Paul Lambert. In literary work, Stella Miller and Walter S. Flory, Jr., won the debate in class contest which gave the privilege of debating against the Seniors. Loreen Hamilton and Robert Burgess not only won the reading contest in our own school but in the county also. ln the Shenandoah Valley District Contest Loreen Hamil- ton won over the Woodstock and Boyce High Schools in reading and went to the Uni- versity of Virginia for the State finals. Time is rolling on and our Junior days will soon come to an end. May the class of '24 so strengthen and build the structure upon which our education is placed that we may be worthy of the School that will send us forth. ie ,fa rl Pit 1511? ..-, L A URORA Foriy-nine Sophomore Organization LEWIS MILLER BYRON SIMMONS IVA WRIGHT PRESIDENT .........,.........

Rowing, not driftingn was selected for the motto, fawn and maroon for colors and white rose for class flower. wigs 'v ar-Sf. lf, In the fall of ,22 only thirty-two of the original number had endured the hardships of rats and had returned. However, the class had gained twelve from other classes or schools, and we were still a class of forty-two. Eleven of this number have been rowing side by side for many years through the primary and gram- mar grades of our school. The personnel of the organization has not been changed other than the treasurer. Our former treasurer did not return and Ellen Wiiie was elected as class treasurer for 1922-23. The class has made a remarkable record in athletics. In baseball, Hjoel' is making a wonderfully composed catcher and Mart has shown a good strong arm which will surely be one of a star while Souce and Shadow never let a ball pass by on the field. Basketball has a good representation in the class among both boys and girls, such as Cline, a star .guard and M and Tinker as side centers on the class team. Among the boys nl-laphazardn is a good jumper and makes a competent center man. Joe pitches all the goals, while Crist and Wee are fierce guards. There are six of our number who have been active members of the Tennis Club and who have made excellent records. In fact it is prospective that one of these shall be Lucky Jimu and have his name on the silver cup before l925. The class is just as literary as it is athletic. In the preliminary of the county con- test, two of the number, Naomi B. lVliller and Bryon Simmons proved to be strong rivals for the higher classes in spelling. Naomi B. lVliller was also one of the four who won the free trip to New York as a prize for poultry judging. There is not a slothful member in this class and by '25 the class wants to have forty-two literary and athletic boys and girls, always, Rowing, not drifting.

After they were en- W A rolled it was learned that about thirty-two were lined up for first year high school work. There were twelve boys and twenty girls. git Several months later a good majority of this number met for the pur- ii - 59 pose of effecting an organization. The results were as follows: President, Harold Wardg Vice-President, Josephine Wrightg Secretary, Emily Miller. Soon afterwards our organization met with results as follows: Class motto: Excel- siorg class flower: Violet and class colors: blue and buff. Four have dropped out of our class and three have been added. We now have on roll in our class thirty-three. There are eleven boys and twenty-two girls. All are very loyal to their class and school. These facts are only a few of what could be said about the Freshman Class. How- ever, these must suffice for the history of this year.

Due to crowded conditions and building we have been unable to have a regular literary society, but our literary work has been carried on in the four English classes and in morning exercises each class having one morning a week for which they are responsible. However'now that our building is complete we hope more literary work can be done in the future. A number of plays have been given by the different classes the proceeds of which were used for current expenses and athletics. The athletic association, however has been practically self-supporting and has been able to face the new year with a goodly sum in its treasure. The receipts have been obtained in the following waysg guarantees from ball games, sale of candy and country gentlemen campaigns. ' Our athletics plays a large part in the activities of the league. Basket ball for both boys and girls, baseball for boys, tennis for boys and girls and a number of other held activities, racing, jumping, etc., are engaged in. A Physical education has also been an interesting feature. This includes not only the high school but the grades as well. Physical training exercises are given three periods a week under the supervision of our, physical director and. assistants. We feel that in having our league to include these various activities that we have been able to do more effective and efficient work.

This season opened with a great cleal of enthusiasm and a large number of both girls and boys reported for practice. There were only two letter men-I-leltzel and Bell to form the nucleus of the girls team and most of the year was spent in development. Nevertheless a goodly number of victories were won and we feel we have a bright future before us.. From the very beginning the outlook for the boys team was splendid. For the past few years we have had unusually strong teams ancl from year to year have been able to pass on letter men. Miller, Long and Click returned this year and it was with undauntecl courage that the group faced the long schedule of games. There were a number of hard fought games, some walk-overs and some defeats but due to excellent team work our boys came through the fray winning the place as county champions for the fourth time. Both boys and girls entered the State contest and both won second place in Section B, district 3. We count this season a very successful one and we want to assure our hearty support to our team for another year.

The letter men, Craun, Miller, W., Wright, Long and Myers form the nucleus around which it is hoped that a winning team is to be developed. Competition is now running high and the student body will leave nothing undone which might add a second county cham- pionship for our school this session. After losing six strong men from the squad last year the prospect of a good team seemed doubtful, but on the first call for practice thirty new recruits were added. With the thirty new recruits the doubtful mind was subdued for they proved themselves worthy. With Wise, Glick, and Miller, M., performing on the mound and Bowman as receiver, the Orange and Blue will hold their own. Kiser, Funkhouser, Koogler, Crist and Huffman strengthen the infield while Miller, L., Cupp and Karicofe add to the outheld. The Freshman and Sophomore classes are contri- buting strong toward the developing of a good team. May the team of '23 have the success the Orange and Blue has always won.

AMERICAN MACHINES No machinery on the market today is more popular than that manufactured by the American Woodwork Machine Company. Many persons put their seal of approval on these machines by buying them again and again. Great business corporations, realizing their superiority, equip their whole shops with them. Thousands of workmen, who have used many kinds of machinery, testify from their experience to the durability of and theuefhciency of the American machines, stating that they save many times their worth for operator and owner. By equipping your shop with this machinery you give it the advantage over other factories equipped with cheaper, but less durable makes. The time saved by lessening breakdown, is a great satisfaction to discriminating managers. These machines are provided with safeguards at every dangerous point. Workmeri are quick to notice this and it makes them better satisfied, and this in turn fits them to do better work. American machines are so simple to learn and to operate that one man may become efficient on more different machines than if other makes are used, thus making the laborer more useful to his employer and better able to take care of himself and his dependents. A In doing exact wood cutting, no other machinery has been found that is so accurate as the Afnerican. Any machine that is durable, accurate, simple, safe and that is within the reach of all in price is the only machine to buy. American Wood Working A Machinery Co. ROCHESTER, N.
