Give our leaders in all phases of life a vision of truth, a sense of justice, and a courage of faith that will make them move on and on to greater things for us and for them. Give us understanding hearts, that we may follow where they lead. Lead us each day in a plain, straight path, keep our feet from slipping in the shadows of the night and our hearts from faltering when disappointments comeg and finally, bring us into the fullness of victory and joy, through jesus Christ ou1 Lord.

' ' W Cce' History of Class of '27 if ET us liken lthe story of our past- four'years untova nine-montlisji fsfjb X old baby who hnds the laige dictionary to play with. We sec Q il the baby trying to lift it. The freshman year would represent the first trial, feeble though it was. C. QT just because we were the so-called rats, we were compelled xrm 'W to be continually over-run by our rivals, namely, sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Often we turned to them the other cheek when one cheek hurt bad enough. just because our number was small as compared to other classes, we could not handle our rivals as they deserved to be handled. Even our teachers accused us of all play and no work, but wait and hear what they say later on. But we, like the baby, are not going to become discouraged with one trial, even if we could only lift one corner. just as the baby propped this with a spool, so we propped our object with the purpose for which we go to school. This left us three corners to lift later on. VVe, like the baby, went to play at something else for a while. In September we remembered our task left that spring, and like the baby, re- turned for another trial. We felt that we were the Survival of the Fittestu be- cause some failed to return with us. Some new members were added to our num- thought certainly we could lift the third corner, and we did lift it even higher than to us our most talented senior class president. Here we began to shine proper in the field of athletics. We also proved to our kind, patient teachers that we could be depended on for every phase of literary work. We, like the baby, had grown much. Although we failed to lift the entire object, we again succeeded in lifting one corner. This corner we propped with punctuality. This left us two more corners to struggle with. Some called us a presevering race, and rightly we were named, as we proved by again returning this time as juniors. Of course, the little fellow is getting very eager to lift this book by now, since he has grown so much. We as juniors thought certainly we could lift the third corner, and we did lift it even higher than the other two, and propped it securely with our perseverence. Here we succeeded in proving to our only remaining rival that we could take care of Number One. lt made us feel important when some seniors would come to us for help before English examination. Wfe launched out into every phase of activity. VVe think we helped our teachers to change their minds, by showing them we had really put our shoulders to the wheel. T VVhen we returned this, our last year, we imagined we saw our teachers mak- ing us a graceful bow of welcome. When we told them we had returned. just as the little boy, with the express purpose of mastering that load, our high school career, every one stepped back and gave us full sway. VVe soon felt that many high honors were being placed upon us. This caused us to work with a new zeal. The teachers praised us highly. We proved a friend rather than a rival for all succeeding classes. On May 31st we all took a firm hold on the object while the little boy reached down for the fourth time for his burden. The object we had been work- ing' with now looked small because we had developed very much during these four years. To our astonishing delight we succeeded in lifting the object to a level. Hy this time we had become a very inquisitive group of folk. Seeing a11 opening resembling that of a book we laid back the first page. Here we were con- fronted with these words. Success Crowns Effort -exactly the words of our motto. VVe were as proud of our efforts and success as the little fellow who suc- ceeded in lifting the book. 3. 1 I fs' L. f I ' ' l 1 ,J .- 1 Lt I Class Prophecy 2346 Broadway, New York City, N. Y. May 31, 1937. Dear john: p My wandering nature has led me to travel over most of the land and water of this globe, and during my travels .l have met with many of our former class- mates. l will try to tell you somelhing of their occupations, and where they are located. lfVhile passing through Richmond .l met Trene. She is coaching basketball, and is instructor of physical education at Farmville. She has gained distinction as a coach. ' l stopped in Harrisonburg, which is now a large city. There l met Thomas Miller, who is county agent of Rockingham County, and has accomplished much in making the county even more prosperous than in 1927. Wliile visiting Harvard University, whom do you think I met? Nobody but Oren Knott, who is a prof of History and has written some new History books. ln Pittsburgh, l visited the VVestinghouse Electric Company and there found Clyde Bowman. I-le is president of this company. Wliile there l heard a sermon by Rev. Earl Wiiie, who was holding a revival in a Brethren Church. He surely can preach, and appears to be interested in his work. Wlao do you suppose was his chorister? lt was none other than Arthur l-luffman. You know how he used to sing, and what great friends he and Earl were. john Carroll has written a new French book. I was very glad to hear that john has reached success. Mrs. Lucie Halterman, formerly Miss Lucie Andes, is supervisor of Home Economics at the South Carolina College for VVomen. While passing through Montana l stopped to see Herschel and Edna. They own one of the iinest dude ranches in the west. And Fit is a real cowboy. VVhom do you think l met in San Francisco? None other than Roy and Geneva. Roy is an instructor in Math. at the University of California, and Geneva teaches music. Wlwile in VVashington l heard a sermon by Rev. Ruff Cline. He is a widely known evangelist, and occasionally plays baseball as he used to at B. H. S. U 1 went to a ball game between Detroit and Washington, and who in the world do you think was pitching and playing short for Washiilgtcbxl? Robb and Guy Robb pitched a shut-out game, and .llucked banged out a home run. Did you know that Leona Lily was instructor in Math. at VVilliam and Mary College. She is one of the best instructors in the state. I have also seen the reproduction of Alda Huffman's famous picture, Sun- set, and was very proud of our former classmate. Osie Roadcap and Myrtle Todd are lilling responsible positions with the firm of Montgomery VV ard and Company. Une of the hnest beauty parlors in New York City is owned by Miss Ethel Spitler, and she has published several books on How to be Beautiful. David Shirkey is a doctor of great renown. His treatments are guaranteed to kill or cure. He is now practicing on the inhabitants of Africa. I recently heard that Salome Kiser is coach at the Harrisonburg State Teachers College, and has put out an undefeated basketball team. joseph VVine is operating a filling station at the South Pole, and owing to the great amount of business he is doing he has secured Miss Helen Homan as a bookkeeper. Did you ever think that any of our classmates would live in foreign lands? VVhen lf was in Paris l went to the Place de l'Opera, the largest theatre in the world. VVhen the cast of characters were announced, who was playing the leading role? No one but our old classmate, Nannie VVhiselman. The greatest surprise of my travels was when l. met Cabbyle and Nancy in the Hotel Ritz. Cabbyle is United States Ambassador to France. My trip through lndia was not very pleasant until I met Susan Flory and Marie Pence. They had built a beautiful church and hospital, and were having great success with their missionary work among the natives. As l ,was slowly turning the dials of my radio the other night, a beautiful voice suddenly broke the slience. il tuned the station in and heard Miss Pearl Miller singing one of the latest songs, My Old Kentucky Home. Lucy Varner is coach at Mount Holyoke College, and is one of the best bas- ketball coaches in the country. Marvin Miller and his life partner are living in New York. He is an insur- ance agent and his office is on the forty-second Hoor of the VVoolworth Building. Ernest is very busy planning another expedition to the plateau of Tibet. Per- haps we may meet some of the class of 1927 on this trip. They all ask about you, and l told them you were growing Olives in Southern France. I think I have given briefly the account of each one. And l hope you have enjoyed this letter as much as l have seeing our classmates. As it is time to go to my office, l will have to close. --From ' 1 . F 1 TI'lE VVAND1sR.izR. Success Crowns the Effort vALEn1c'roRY Hy TRIQNQ l'lliL'l'ZliL CVZTFYDCXQTQ EAR classmates-We have at last climbed the first flight in the stairway of life. Now we are confronted with two possible ends-success or failure. To win the former requires of us effort and perseverence. We who would win success in life l ir fx k 175' iilfib-lf .: qi S ff' 14 Eg My must make Perseverence our bosom friend, Experience our .GR fm :f .X - t Q counsellor, and Hope our guardian. To begin at the foot of a hill and work slowly upward seems a very discouraging pro- cess. The path lies rugged and troublesome before us, and to win means to put forth much effort and determination, but we see in reward of this the promise of a crowning triumph. There was never a time in history that it took more effort to attain success than now. Men can no longer go in one single leap to success. Those articles are most highly prized which are attained by the greatest amount of effort. Some- times we may become discouraged, but what does it matter if a rung does break or a foot slip. We cannot expect everything to run smoothly all the time. We have only to remember that it is hard earned work, step by step, that secures suc- cess. While some are achieving success by hard work, others are sitting idly by the wayside wondering why they, too, cannot be successful. They forget that the true key is labor and that only a strong, resolute will can turn the lock. The secret of one's success or failure is contained in the answer to this ques- tion, How'earnest is the individual. The talent of success is simply doing well whatever you do without a thought of fame. Success does not consist of amass- ing a fortune. Some of our most unsuccessfulmen have done that. We must remember also that success and fame are not synonymous terms. VVe can all live so that everyone will honor and respect us without becoming famous. It is in our power to live lives of integrity and honor. We can cheer the downheaited, cau- tion the erring one, help the weak, and live lives that will be examples of a pure, straightforward life. This would be a successful life. To be successful we must rely upon ourselves. Insist on yourself, never imitate, said Emerson. VVe must depend upon our own exertions and not wait for someone to come to our asssistance. The soul of every great achievement is energy, but enervation saps its life and dooms the man to obscurity and ill-success. Let us take for our guide self-reliance, faith, honesty, and industry. God has given to all of us ability and opportunity to be moderately success- ful. lt is through the untiring efforts of our teachers that we have been able to develop these talents. lt is they who have spent so much energy helping us across the rough places in our high school life, through the step forward to our success. To them we are greatly indebted, and it is the hope of each that we remember and abide by the standards they have set up before us. Fellow students, we have enjoyed the days spent with you. VVe will always remember you and wish you a glorious success in all your achievements. Classmates, now we must part, we must start up the next Hight of stairs, and let us resolve in all to be successful. Then if wealth and fame awaits us, these will be but added laurels to the gilded success that crowns our efforts. IXIX ri-91.Q-Z Et 9' i ofjw as , it :fi , 52 work and study 1 Salutatory cHARAcT131i Ann couitaoia HAVE the pleasure of giving the hearty welcome which the Class of Twenty-seven wishes to extend to all parents and friends who have come to this, our last meeting. To this day we have been looking with longing eyes since the day we entered high school. It is a day of great joy and sorrow. Joy, because we realize we have completed four years of hard sorrow, because it means the parting of friends. liach of these friends have different ambitions, and each must go his way that this ambition might be realized. ln our four years of work we have been shown a small path to success. Wifleniiig' and extending the path is left to LIS. VVe certainly all wish to build and follow the path to success. Character is one of the most essential elements of success. .lt is the result of clean thinking and patient well-doing. lt comes not in a day or year, but is slow and steady. Character building may be likened to the sculptor, slowly fashioning a human countenance. lt is not moulded at once. lt is wrought with much pain and laborg a work of much time. At last the likeness comes out, fixed and un- changing in the solid marble. So at man's likeness is made, by adding constantly to the work. A noble act, a kind thought, a mighty and honest effort is moulding a character that will stand the test of life even as the marble image stands the test of time. Carlyle writes: Thy life, Wert thou the pitifullest of all the sons on earth, is no idle dream but a solemn reality. lt is thine own, it is all thou hast to face eternity. Courage any fish can Our road is VVork then like a star unlasting yet unresting. is another element of success which we often lack. We know that swim down stream, but it takes the game fish to swim up stream. crooked and full of obstacles. Let us master and overcome these obstacles for the result of mastery is strength. Have your convictions and stand iirmg set your heart upon the goal and work hard: hx your mind on the develop- ment of your plans, for then your resolution and self-reliance will be strength- ened. Emerson says: The voyage of the best ship is a zigzag line of a hundred tacks. Let us be prepared for the voyage. Lift up your head and rely on your- selfg stand for the right always, though odds are against you and you will need to have no fear of treacherous waves of life. -Joram VVILI.. Camping Trip Cffxf-wwf-75 O THE SENIORS of '27 enjoy camping? yVell, just read fur- E526 ill' J ther and you will be convinced of the fact that we most as- suredly do. Did we not leave while the heavens were dark with threatening clouds? We all met at the school building on Thursday, October 30th. We started on our delightful journey to Deerfield about 3 p. m. Of course, each provided himself with a tin or aliminurn pan, a knife, fork, cup, and spoon. VVe needed some serving dishes, and dishpans served this purpose. Upon arrival, the boys gathered sticks, and an old-time lire in the fireplace was enjoyed by all. Most of us helped prepare supper, which con- sisted of sandwiches, pickles, and cake. After supper the remainder of the even- ing was spent telling jokes and listening to the phonograph. Then came time to retire. The girls occupied two bed-rooms, the boys a bunk house. .lt proved a sleepless but enjoyable night for all. The girls were favored with comfortable beds, while the boys made their beds of dried leaves. The following day was spent near the lire, because the day proved damp and chilly. At first we thought this was certainly unbearable, but everyone was game for everything. lt proved a great advantage in the end, for we were helped with a big rest to begin the next day's hiking. Several groups started out in different directions to explore the Dear Field. Everyone returned to the fireplace that evening as eager as they were to leave that morning. We were all glad to greet most of our teachers, who had just returned from Harrisonburg, where they had attended a teachers meeting. We were very tired from hiking and were glad to be relieved of the supper-getting problem. Here a delicious sup- marshmallows. this we talked As a result We the faculty came to the rescue for the hundredth time and served per, consisting of weenies, pickle, roast corn, roast potatoes, and After supper we went to the porch and sang folk songs. After until a late hour, then went to bed. Vtfe slept six rows at a time. arose Sunday morning feeling much refreshed. This morning we became convinced that the sun did shine in Deerlield as well as in Bridgewater. We availed ourselves of this opportunity to take some pic- tures. W'e ate breakfast about nine o'clock and started for Tilliott's Knob. Some succeeded in reaching the top of this great tower, while others had to be content with falling by the wayside. About four o'clock we returned to camp. VVe missed our dinner, but made up for this by a big fill of chicken for supper. We straightened up camp and started on our homeward journey. Arrived home about nine o'clock on Sunday, November the second.

Class Poem XfVe are juniors and onward bound, Striving to reach the heights. Deeds, not words, our motto found, VVhieh shall guide us in our ilight. Our colors are orange and blue, And we selected for a Hower The laurel, so pretty and so true, Created by Godls great power. . We still think of the day that is past NfVhen we stepped up to Il. H. S. Entered the Freshman class In which we all did our best. Then through the Sophomore class VVe held our ideals high. VN-le struggled through our tasks As the days and weeks passed by. Our teachers all so kind and patient Readj' to help us in our tests, To them we go for information And they give us their very best. As juniors, looking up, we see The Senior Class of '28 VVe're struggling so that we May reach that higher gate. Wlien we reach the Senior year We part with our friends so true. Then we begin our lite career, But still think of the class Grange and 'Blue -T'TALL'l'E HUFFMAN. Fl 7 uw 9105 fx mal I .4-, Junior Class History EN years ago a little raft left the harbor of home to sail out upon an unexplored sea. The cargo of this raft was made up of about twenty-six 'boys and eighteen girls. Nine out of this number are with us now, ever willing to do their part to brighten the rest of the journey. At times there were ma11y difficulties. Often heavy storms threatened to destroy the little vessel. lt was al- most drowned with examinations, the wave of hard lessons al- most swallowed it, and it often fell upon the rock of disappoint- ment, but still it continued its course. , With the loyal work of the captain and the rest of the crew, we on the morning of September 8, 1924, were permitted to enter l-ligh School. Rats! Greenies! was heard from every side, but this was only another diffi- culty brought about through the course the raft had chosen. After a few weeks we decided some class leaders were necessary. XfVe met and elected the following: President, jack Good, vice-president, Edith Garstg secretary and treasurer, Doro- thy Millerg historian, lVlildred Garber. We also decided on a Hower, Laurel, col- ors, Blue and Gold, and motto, Deeds, Not Words, which we all have learned to believe. Thus began our first big step toward the goal. We were proud of our class and thought it a most successful year. Wfhen the next session began the little raft, with some that had dropped out, and some that joined us since, entered as Sophomores. We again met and reelected officers. The following were elected: President, Joe Craung vice-president, Garland VVright, secretary and treasurer, Gladys Miller. VVe decided to retain our old colors, lillue and Gold, flower, Laurel, and motto, Deeds, Not Wo1'cls. This was another successful year, and we showed up well both in athletics and literary work. The Sophomores as a class won the friendship and respect of all the other classes, as well as the faculty. The little raft is still sailing. She has brought us to the milestone of our journey that marks the end of our sophomore year. ln our junior year there has been quite a number added to our roll. We de- cided to keep our colors, flower, and motto, but the following were elected : Presi- dent, Rodney Andrewg vice-president, Stanley Clineg secretary and treasurer, Mildred Garber. We also had the honor of electing an honorary member, which resulted to be our beloved principal, Miss Sanger. VVe have had several socials in which all were interested. We now have one more step to reach and accomplish, and our days will be ended. We know that this cannot be done without patience of our teachers. We appreciate everything they have lighten the path for us, and with one more year of hard work High School the help and done to help we will have reached our goal. Now-we see the stream widen. The sailing is not so smooth as it has been, but the vessel has become stronger. lt will bear us through the Seas of the Future, across the ocean of Time, and into the Harbor of Success. -GLADYs lVIiI.i..1aR.

A few months of work caused us to realize that we needed an organization.

Although they do not have a great number of victories recorded in their score, still they have the right to be exceedingly proud of the exertions they have made and their efforts directed toward maintaining a high standard of sports- manship. VVith all the teams the girls have been distinguished by their attitude toward the result of the game, taking either defeat or victory in the same spirit of good fellowship. LUCY VARN ER TRENE HELTZEL GLADYS ANDREW' CAPTAIN MA NAGER FORWARD Lucy, our captain and guard, comes into the game with the determination to win. This is Lucy's third year of lmasketlmall, and we are sorry to lose her. SALOME KISER GUARD Fat has been a strong guard for three years. Her heavy guarding has been a source of worry to all op- posing teams. X1Ve are very sorry that she cannot he with us again. Trene, our manager and running center, fights from the beginning to the end. VVe hope that she will he of the same value to a college team next year as she has heen to our team. GEN EVA FRY rorzwmzn Although Geneva is small, we can always expect her to add many points to our score, She also leaves us this year. This is Gladys' second year as forward on our team. VVe are glad to say that she is one of next year's dual captains. HELEN HOMAN CIZNTER Helen, who has played center or running' center for three years, will he greatly missed next year. MARGARET MILLER MARIE WlLL PEARL MILLER CENTIQR Fouwixlui RUNNING cEN'rme Margaret stepped out this year with the spirit for play- ing the game.

Vliateh her through the coming year. This is Pearl's first year with the varsity. She plays with the ambition to get the ball. She also will he missed next year.

The Bridgewater quint play a full schedule this season and suffered very few defeats, having won the championship of District lV. Only one defeat was suffered before the linal game of the northeastern sec- tion with Alexandria. This indicates that our team was only two games from the top. Gui' success was due to the clean sport in which our boys met the op- posing teams. i G, GLADVVELL STOVER CLINE CA PTA IN Duck is our captain, and a good one, too. He has been with us four years, and has always caused the opposing teams much con- cern by his strong floor work and beautiful shoot- ing. He is hard to beat, either as guard or center. H UFF M AN The only way you could hold Shag down was to put two guards on him. He helped win many games for B. H. S. by his quick think- ing and clever floor work. No matter how strong the defense, Shag could al- ways Hnd his way to the goal. MANAGER Bob can play either guard or center. He was al- ways cool-headed. It made no diirference what the score was, he was always the same, doing the very best he could. He will be great- ly missed next year. of our team. Pidge is the fast run- ning guard. He came from Mt. Clinton to play with our team this year. Although this was his first year with us, he proved to be a val- uable team member. He al- ways gave pep ancl amuse- ment to his team. VV I L L VVC usually think that it takes a tall man for basket- ball, but john has proved that a small one can make a star. He was the most per- sistent fighter we had. These characteristics con- tributed much to the success VVINE Jelly was our depend- able guard. He was always a good sport, full of pep, and showed fine team spirit. These sterling qualities of his personality may be con- sidered as the mainstay of the team's morale. MILLER Fit was one of our best forwards. If he would hap- pen to lose the ball, he would never give up. He was always doing his best. He could toss a goal from most any position on the floor. R. GLADVVELL Rudy is another one of our diminutive forwards. He is fast and can shoot well guarded. VVe are very glad to have him as our next year's captain. FRY This is Frogy's first year, but in spite of this fact he has made good. 'He works well as running guard. VVC are fortunate to have him next year. SHAVER Dee is calm but quick. VVhen playing forward he can outguess most any guard. VVe expect great things of him next year. Boys Basketball Schedule li. .l l. 5. .... ... 24-VVeye1's Cave ... TX. H.

I Vffinners- Buccaneers Country Gentleman Party ERE is where we Hi students shine.- On the evening of Novem- ber 29th the B. H. 5. pupils and faculty gathered to render a XFN I fitting' climax to the Country Gentleman Campaign. This is one party that all four classes are gathered together as one large 1, 5nQ. I, class. Of course, with few less than one hundred and seventy- ' X ,C live, a very pleasant evening was promised. About seven-thirty the High School doors were thrown open and the build- ing was ready for use. Before we had reached the First staircase we could readily see the splendid, artistic work of our decorating committee. jack-o-Lanterns, leaves, orange and black crepe paper were effectively arranged to produce a ghostly appearance. We all entered into the games and played as hard as we had studied the few days previous. Each one tried to pull the biggest stunt. lt was during this time that many took their iirst Qand l hope their lastij trip through Hades. All of us were glad to see the old witch who foretold our future in a humorous but sincere way. Many of us became desirous to live a long and happy life. During the period set apart for games some danced the Old Virginia Reel under Miss Sangerls instruction and demonstration. At a late hour refreshments, consisting of cider Cnot hard ciderj sugar-cakes, and all-day suckers, were served. Then the party broke up amid joyous exclamations. We all left feeling we had enjoyed the party as much as we had enjoyed getting the subscriptions. 7f5fS'J 'Q'0XV' La ' T 6 C X 2 5, t - A-fSZsSQs,-m C521 t j ave' t . Debate First Affirmative R. CHAIRMAN, Honorable judges, Most Wforthy Opponents, Ladies and Gentlemen: The question for discussion is, Resolved: That the short bal- lot as recommended by Governor Byrd should be adopted. Governor l3yrd's proposal is specifically: First, that the General As- sembly submit constitutional amendments to the popular vote so that Virginia can adopt the short ballot and elect by direct popular vote only the Governor, the l.ieutenant-Governor, and the Attorney-General. Sec- ond, that the administrative heads of the departments be appointed by the Governor, who is directly responsible to the people for administrative efficiency. Third, that the bureaus, boards, a11d commissions be grouped in eight or ten de- partments, that many be abolished, and a business survey be conducted to make clear the way to economics. My colleague and l shall prove to you the affirmative side of this question by establishing the following issues: 1. A short ballot will permit more intelligent and discriminating voting and the number of votes at an election will increase. 2. The short ballot will counteract the present political evils. 3. A more effective government will be established. -I. It is a practical and tried plan. I shall prove the first two issues, and my colleague will prove the last two issues. liirxi. It permits more intelligent and discriminating voting and the number of votes at an election will increase. First or before the short ballot can be adopted the state constitu- tion must be changed. Instead of having in it that the Governor, Secretary of Common- wealth, State Treasurer, Superintendent of Public Instruction, and Commissioner of Agricul- tural and Immigration, etc., he elected by the people, it should have that the Governor, Lieu- tenant-Governor, and Attorney-General be elected by the popular and qualified vote of the people. Of course I do not think the constitution was framed unwisely. VVhen the constitu- tion was framed it was for the needs of the people at that time. Attempts have been made to modify the constitution, but these were unsuccessful. There were very few departments then, and the heads could all be elected by the people. The present constitution is not suited to our need now. At the beginning of our country we used the short ballot method. The ballots were short and it was very easy to vote. However, in all the great urban and industrial common- wealths, ballots had become so large and complicated before the end of the nineteenth cen- tury that to vote them intelligently was a matter of utmost difficulty. lt is not too much to say that the thoughtful leaders of both parties have enrolled themselves as believers in the short ballot. The people are now confronted by ballots of such size and difiiculty that the average citizen, even the exceptional citizen, must confess that he votes blindly as far as nine-tenths of his candidates and officers are concerned. Even the ideal citizen, ex-President Elliott, of I-larvard University, admitted in a public address that such was the case with him. There have been repeated calls for one hundred per cent turn-outs at the polls, but there have never been the one hundred per cent there. NrVhy is this? Because some people will not go to the polls to vote blindly, The only way to get the one hundred per cent is to shorten the ballot. Robert C, Brooks says, The long ballot is the politicians ballot, while the short ballot is the people's ballot. On the short ballot there will be only three outstanding onicersz Governor, Lieutenant- Governor, and Attorney-General, where before there was an enormous sum of candidates for the various offices. Many people go to the polls to vote, they look over their ballot, and half the time know only one or two men out of the whole affair, and will have to vote blindly or not at all. Some people will not vote at all rather than vote ignorantly, because they are too conscientious. Again, by the present ballot, people go to the polls and vote for the first man on the ticket, which is governor, and walk away without scarcely looking at the others. At the last election ten thousand more votes were cast for governor than any other odicer. ls this the elective system by the people? VVhy isn't it just as important to elect good men for the heads of other departments as it is to elect the governor wisly? The short ballot is a movement to simplify politics, therefore when it is simplified will it not be easier for the people to vote intelligently? For it will he easier to find out about a few candidates than it will to be informed about a large number. Our opponents may say that the short ballot will make the government less democratic, but when all the people vote by the short ballot who are not voting now, plus the people who are voting, how could the government be less democratic when more people are voting? And now, honorable judges, l am sure you will agree with me that the short ballot will not tend to lead to oligarchy as my opponents of this plan may uphold, neither will it lessen the number of votes, but on the other hand it will increase them, for the people know for whom they are voting, and therefore they will vote intelligently. Sffovzvd. The short ballot will counteract the present political evils. The first evil l shall discuss is: The long ballot encourages the wrong kind of a political machine. First l shall give you a definition of the political machine. A political machine is a body or organization of people that control largely the activities in any form of government. The political machine which we have now by the long ballot is dangerous. The reason for its being so dangerous is that when the political leaders decide they want a friend, or most any one else, to H11 a certain position, whether it is large or small, they put his name on the ballot, where the people voting ignorantly, will elect him. There are so many men whom the people do not know that it is a good chalice for them. By the short ballot the political machine will be far less dangerous. There will only be three people to vote for and the people will know about them, and what chance would there be for an unworthy person to hide there? By the long ballot the political leaders could put up a strong man at the head of the ticket and a lot of inferior men to head the minor departments which could be elected on the reputation of the governor. The second evil is: The long ballot is very expensive. Since so much time has been spent by men in governmental affairs to lessen the taxes of our country and to meet the great financial depression which especially agricultural Virginia is now experiencing, it is very im- portant for us to study the economic side of this question. - The proposed bill makes for economy in several ways. First, it limits the buying of votes. VVhen the ignorant voters go to the polls there they will Find men who pay them for voting blindly for the man they want elected. This of course takes lots of money, because there are many ignorant voters. The reason for this is that the people don't have time to find out about so many people. By the new system there will be no men to buy votes. VVhat good would it do if there were? None, because there will be a reasonable number of people to know about and the voters will be informed before going to the polls, and therefore will refuse to sell their votes. This will greatly reduce the cost. By the selling of votes the long ballot takes more capital out of the hands of the political leaders where it is taxable to a high degree and puts it in the hands of the poorer class where it does not add to the taxable value of the state. The state is now in debt twenty-eight mil- lion dollars, and if the capital is removed from the hands of the political leaders where it is taxable, how can the state pay off her debt? As for reducing the ballot you need only to compute for yourself the cost of printing a ballot with not less than eighteen names and that of six. The one will be at least three times as long as the other, and this will make the cost three times as great for one single ballot. Think of the great reduction in cost of all the ballots that go to all parts of the state. Again, the short ballot leads to economy because in the proposed system there will be no need for a political campaign. ln fact, there will be none. These meetings now cost much money. The great cost comes in the rent of buildings, advertising on billboards and circulars, and for newspaper items, and many other such things. Again these meetings cost because does not the speaker have to travel from one place to another and arouse spirit? lloes he get his transportation free? Of course not. He pays his fare just the same as anyone else. Therefore, honorable judges, you can see that the short ballot makes for economy. Third. ln the long ballot thc otlicials are only responsible to the public. As l have said be fore, there will be only three otlieers to be elected by the people. The governor will then appoint all the heads of the administrative departments, who will be directly responsible to him. The governor will watch these executives and see that their Work is done right. VVhen it is not done right he will put them out of ofhce and there they will stay. VVhen the public watch the heads of the departments the opinion is divided, be- cause he has friends in the public, and therefore the man is rarely if ever put ont of oliice, but when the governor watches these men, he knows the duties and qualifications and is bet- ter able to judge them. And now you can see that the government in which the oflicials are only responsible to the public is not efficient. Therefore, honorable judges, l have proved to you that Virginia should adopt the short ballot by the first two issues, which are: first, it permits more intelligent and discriminating voting andthe number of votes at an election will increase, second, the short ballot will counteract the present political evils. My colleague will continue the discussion by proving the last two issues. I thank you. ' -Doltornv Mu.l.1aR. T 1?-GRY' Cola 727 X it i A Second Afhrmative R. CHAIRMAN, Honorable judges, Most VVorthy Opponents, Ladies and Gentlemen: The question for debate has already been sutheiently stated and explained. As I am the second atiirmative speaker, I shall continue the discussion by proving the last two issues. My colleague has proved the tirst two. First, a more edective government will be established. Second, it is a practical and a tried plan. Firsl, I shall prove that a more effective government will be estab- lished, and more simplified. Our ballot is too complicated it there are only nine officials to he voted for. As long as the ballot in Virginia has too many people on the ticket for the people to vote for intelligently it is too long. As long as the people vote ignorantly and unintelligently it is too long, it would be it there were only two otlicials. To reduce the number of men on the ticket, we must elect the Governor, and Attorney- General, and make the heads of the administrative departments appointive as the plan is that as recommended by Governor liyrd. The constitution says, The chief executive power of the state shall he vested in the Governor. Yet only forty-two per cent of the tax dollar is expended by the oliicials ap- pointed by him. Of the eighteen major state departments, only eight are appointed by the Governor, five hy the General Assembly, and tive elected by the qualified vote of the people. Otlicials elected by the people spend twenty cents out of the tax dollar, the ones appointed by the General Assembly seven cents, and the remaining thirty-one cents is spent by the other boards and agencies, some of which are constitutional and some even without responsibility to the Governor. Therefore it is apparent that the State of Virginia is a great corporation without a presi- dent, or in other words, is a business corporation with the president elected by the stock- holders to execute their will and then denied the power to do so. The taxpayers are the stockholders in the government of Virginia. The Governor is and should be strictly confined within the limitations placed by the constitution upon him. The General Assembly will ap- point the judges while the people elect the Governor, Lieutenant-Governor, and Attorney- General. The opponents of this proposal call it a revolutionary advance, but it is rather a reac- tionary step, for it reatlirms the wisdom of our fathers and shows they knew what they were about. At any rate, is not the change worth the trial? To simplity our government the ballot must be shortened and less complex. One of our greatest l-'residents, X'Voodrow Xhfilson, said: Elaborate your government, place every oliieer upon his own dear little statue, make it possible for him to be voted tor, and you will not have democratic governmentf' The remedy is contained in one word, simplihcation. Simplify your processes and you will begin to control, complicate them and they will get farther from your control. Simplification is the task that awaits us. To do this we must reduce the num- ber of people to be voted for to the absolute working minimum, knowing whom you have selected, whom you have trusted, and having so few persons to watch that you can watch them, To simplify our government it must be consolidated into 'fewer departments. By the proposed plan the numerous departments we now have will be brought together after a busi- ness survey with eight or ten departments. Therefore, it is apparent that our government will be on a more business-like basis, and simplification will have more meaning. An article in the Richmond 7'imt'.v-Dislvairli is as follows: For years our gubernatorial aspirants have given it a prominent place in their platforms, but it has been practically meaningless. To prove that our government is more complicated, I shall give you a few figures. ln 1903 the number of agencies, departments, and commissioners was forty-eight, in 1910 the number was sixty-twog in 1923 the number was ninety-one. Now, are we going to stand still and let these figures run away with us, as they now are, or are we going to adopt the short ballot and check it. Government by experts and specialists will be more cliicient. itlen who spend their time seeking othce have not much time to be thinking of what they are going to do after they are elected. But they are continually thinking of what they can say in their speeches to attract the attention of the public and get the public opinion for him so strong that he can he elected Alter they are elected they do not do as they have said. NVhy? Simply because half they said was unthoughtful. There are many men who will not boast, others have not the money to pay their ex- penses, while others can't make strong speeches and are not good runners on a campaign, but would makeexeellent governors il' they could but obtain the position. By the short ballot the Governor and otiicials will have more time to study the needs of the state and the man that is best htted for the different offices. lnformation eoncerniii' his character, morals, and qualifications will be published in the many magazines and papers of the state. Our opponents may say that if the short ballot plan is adopted that all the friends and relatives of our next Governor will hold some otiice if they are fit or not. .lf they are, all right. If not-he will be withdrawn by the General Assembly and others will till their places. But the people will know the character of the man they vote for and will not put in a man whose character is blemished or unknown. Some think this is a movement to give the Governor more power and the people less, but it gives the people more power. My colleague has proved that more people will vote by the short ballot than are now voting, then will not the people have more voice in the govern- ment? If they have more voice will they not have more power? The short ballot plan will be more efficient, because we now have our State Highway Commissioner appointed. Are we having roads built? Yes. lJo we pay bonds to get them? No. The Commissioner of Agriculture and lmmigration are elected by the vote of both the urban and rural voters. Do these city people know who to put in for that office? They may think they do, but they do not. lf the proposed plan is adopted the Governor will put in a man who can fill it successfully. When our government was made, practically all of Virginia was rural and the plans were made to suit it. Now the population is changing. The increase in the urban from 1910-1920 was 41.4, while the rural was only 3.2. Can we not see that the urban is increasing more rapidly than the rural? Does not our form of government need a change after all this has taken place? Now, honorable judges and most worthy opponents, l have proved that a more effective government will be established. Second, I shall prove that it is a practical and tried plan. Administrative consolidation is the simplification of the machinery of our government, it is a remedy for poor and extravagant administration. lt brings the numerous departments we have now into eight or ten. This is not a new idea, for it was used in our national ad- ministration a century ago. Thomas Bickett, a former governor of North Carolina, said: The people do not elect their ofhcers, a few men pick them as candidates and then the people say which are the least objectionable in the primaries. There is no sadder delusion than the people elect these officers. They should know the facts about a few men on the ticket, vote for them, and then hold them rigidly responsible for results. The short ballot has been used in city governing where great progress has taken place during this modern period. Since it has been studied in practically all the states and adopted in a few it is no longer a theory, but a movement. Our national government uses it-we elect the president, vice-president, senators, and members of the house of representatives. The president appoints the minor officials. ls not the method used by our nation good enough for our state? To apply the short ballot best is to copy the national government and elect only the ones we have already named and have the minor officers appoi11tive. VVould this give the Governor too much power? Some one we rarely know who appoints them now. To have them appointed by a recognized, legally constituted authority is better than to have them selected by a self-established, unknown, un- official, and irresponsible group of politicians. Suppose we were electing by popular vote not only the President and Vice-President, but all the other federal judges. Can we see how our superficial doctrinairins would resist such a bossless plan as this. NNoodrow Wfilson said: I believe the short ballot is the key to the restoration of popular government in this countryfl Therefore, the short- ballot causes the simplification, consolidation, and efficiency in our state government. It is a practical and tried plan. lt does not give the Governor more power but it gives the people more power. Now, honorable judges, most worthy opponents, ladies and gentlemen, my colleague and I have proved that the short ballot as recommended by Governor Byrd should be adopted, since we have proved the following. My colleague proved the first two and l the last two. First, a shorter ballot permits more intelligent voting, also the number of votes will increase. Second, it eounteracts the present political evils. Third, a more effective government will be established. Fourth, it is a practical and tried plan. -Amen CI.Av'rou. First Negative W e X lt. Cl-lAlRMAN, lrlonorablc Judges, Most XfX orthy Opponents, Ladies and 'Q Gentlemen: The question for discussion at this time is, Resolved: That the short ballot as reconmmendted by Governor Byrd should be adopted..

My colleague and l shall maintain and uphold that the short ballot as recommended by Governor liyrd should not be adopted by establishing the following issues: Firfvi. Virginia does not need the short ballot. Serozzrl. The short ballot aids in building the political-machine. Tlzird. Centralized power is dangerous. l shall prove the first and second issue and my colleague will prove the third. Firm. Virginia does not need the short ballot, for the ballot is already short. Only nine state officials are under the present system elected by the people. These are the Governor, Lieutenant-Governor, Attorney-General, Superintendent of Public Instruction, Commissioner ol' Agriculture and Immigration, State Auditor, Secretary of the Common- wealth, State 'l'reasurer, and Comptroller. A so-called long ballot has at least twelve and often as many as sixty men or officers to vote for at one time. Under the proposed system the people will elect only three otlicials, namely: the Gover- nor, Lieutenant-Governor, and Attcmrney-General. liy the use of this method Virginia would not be adopting the short ballot, but merely shortening a ballot that is already short. By so doing she would take from the hands of the people the privilege, right, and duty of partici- pating in the state affairs. I Unintelligent voting is due to the educational system and not the governmental system. XNe may say that unintelligent voting is prevalent in this state, but this unintelligent vot- ing is not due, honorable judges, to the long, complex, difficult ballot of Virginia. lt is due rather to the poor educational system Virginia has had. In many parts of this state there are people who can hardly read or write. Can we expect these same people to vote more in- telligently for three ollicials than for nine? Besides, these people, ignorant though they may bc, will realize that they are losing a part in the government and that they are being deprived of the rights of democracy. Thus, they will lose interest rather than gain it. Virginia ranks high in government in comparison with her standing in education, lie- markable improvements have been made in both in the past ten or fifteen years. As this state is putting schools within reach of most of the citizens under sixteen years of age, and is making education compulsory, she is educating the youth to the needs of the govermnenl, to the organization, plan, and administration of it. lt is with pride that these young enthusiastic citizens look forward to the time when they can take over the work of their fathers and carry their ideals to attainment and realization. Furthermore, this coming generation will not feel that the electing of nine state officials is an impossible, burdensome task, but will look upon it as a sacred and revered privilege. States that recently adopted the short ballot had complex ones. Complications, mistakes, and blunders have never Colne out of our government as they have in other states. This is because of our good ballot which is neither long enough to prove complicated nor short enough to deprive the people of rights. V Show me, most worthy opponents, an instance if you can when 'Virginia has elected a dead man, an imaginary man, or the like, to public office. Such things have been known to happen, but it was in some state where the ballot was probably a foot square or a yard long. There is need for reform in such a case, but in Virginia when the ballot is not long the case is quite clifierent. In some states the ballot has become long, very long, because of the numerous heads of departments elected by the people and because of the excessive use of the initiative and referendum. lint, until our state is liable to get into a similar condition, we must preserve to our citizens their privileges, rights, and liberties. A Semncl. The short ballot aids in building the political machine. The political machine is the one thing that the American people and the citizens of Vir- ginia want to destroy in our government as far as possible. The political machine is that group of professional politicians who boss and dictate the affairs of the government. This machine has always been in existence in some form or other, but the form of government, the number of people involved, and the flexibility of it determine the power and influence of this machine. There will be less people directly interested in governmental affairs. VVhen the people realize that so much of the affairs of the government is removed from their hands they will become disinterested, not only in the minority party, but in the ma- jority party as well. The Governor will be of the majority party, and he will appoint men of his own party, of course he will, and nothing else is to be expected. The minority party under the present system has little voice in the government, and under the proposed system they will not even be seen, much less heard from. Thus, in a government where one party has so small a part, there is nothing to stimulate interest in either party. Furthermore, after the responsibility has been removed from the hands of the peopleg after the public has been notified in this polite way that they are incapable of electing the proper kind of officials, they will lose interest altogether. This is precisely what the politicians want. XNith a group of I don't care citizens, the government will be flexible, workable, and wieldly. The ringleaders are laughing up their sleeves at the clever idea, and are dreaming of the wonderful things they will do when there is only one man to convince, one man to win to their side, a man who is elected for four years and who cannot succeed himself. Honorable judges, it has so far seemed that the populace has been in favor of the short ballot. But is this the voice of the people? No. lt is the voice of the politicians fostered by newspapers. All of the newspapers in this state are edited by men of decidedly one party or the other. All but two of them are for the short ballot. .fn them, the question is dis- cussed in such a narrow, clever, tactful way that the people are quickly won to the ailirma- tive side. However, the feeling is getting more and more of the antagonistic tang to it, as the people are becoming better informed of the ways of the short ballot. Honorable judges, in conclusion l would say that the political machine has always been in existence and probably always will be, but the form of government determines its power. Under the proposed system the interest of the people will wane because they have so small a part in the government, and this in turn will be a wonderful aid to the political machine. Wfith practically all of the state otiicials responsible to the Governor and not the people, the political machine will have an easy time. They will put up their man and will have to ex- pound his virtues and qualifications to only one man, the Governor. NVill it not be much more easy to convince one man than the whole population of Virginia? This is an absurd question, yet you who advocate the short ballot answer no. With the majority party holding all the power and controlling all the newspapers the po- litical machine will be much stronger and much more powerful than ever before known in this state, even more so than the so-called old school kind in its palmiest days. Therefore, 1 have proved that the short ballot as recommended by Governor Byrd should not be adopted, by proving the following issues: First. Virginia does not need the short ballot, for- a. The ballot is already short. li. 'Unintelligent voting is due to the educational system and not the governmental system. c. States that recently adopted the short ballot had complex ones. Srroud. The short ballot aids in building the political machine, because- a. Less people are directly interested. b. The government will be more flexible. c. Politicians favor the short ballot. My colleague will conclude the argument by the proof of the following issue: Centralized power is dangerous. I thank you. -Km' 1-naxunia V. M1L1.iaR. Q hi Second Negative cfeggfxi-Qagpxn R. Cl-IAIRMAN, Honorable Judges, Most VVorthy Opponents, and Citi- X-ivxx 7 al zens of Virginia. W ' The question for discussion has already been stated and my colleague Cf 3 og! has clearly explained it. She has shown to you that the short ballot should not be adopted in Virginia by establishing the following issues: Ct N First, the short ballot is not needed in Virginia. Surond, the short ballot ,sw f,.E2,3gg,-an aids in the building up of a political machine. l will conclude the proof of the negative by proving a third issue, which is: Centralized power is dangerous. VVe know that centralized power is dangerous because it proved dangerous in early his- tory. Great men are all inclined to want power and authority, and the more power they get, they more authoritative they become. This has been true all down through history. Take, for instance, the old Roman Empire. Practically all the power was vested in one man. Dur- ing the reign of Augustus Caesar everything went well, but when Nero came to the throne the great empire fell. This was because he used his power selfishly. As long as we have a governor such as Byrd in office the short ballot may work smoothly, but we might elect a Nero who would usurp his authority, then would the government of Virginia lose its demo- cratic qualities. The following is a brief history of the government of Virginia. From 1776-1852 the government was entirely appointive, but the people saw the need of a change, and then from 1352-1902, the short ballot was used in Virginia, but the appointive power was vested in the General Assembly. This was much more democratic and reasonable than the present pro- posal, because the General Assembly has a much broader knowledge of the people of the state than does the Governor. The identical ticket which is now proposed was used. In 1902 another change was made. The people again demanded a greater voice in the govern- ment. The ballot was increased to nine elective oHices instead of three. This did not make the ballot long and cumbersome, only long enough to insure to the people those rights and privileges which belong to any people who are claiming to maintain a democratic gov- ernment. ln the first half of the nineteenth century, the government underwent a democratic revo- lution. A great number of appointive ofiices were made elective. Jefferson included elective government in his doctrine. He said, VVe know that man is a rational animal, endowed by nature with rights and a sense of justice and that he could be protected by power confided in persons of his own choice. The early constitution makers would not adopt a system that would fix responsibility and power. They were too much afraid of the Governor, not merely because of their democratic ideas, but because of previous experience with the Colonial Gov- ernor, lierkely. Then again, the short ballot will lead to the abuse of the appointive power and hence to czardom. At the head of the government by the few, there must be au individual in whose hands is placed the power of bossing and controlling. This individual will be none other than the Governor of Virginia. He will become a boss, an autocrat. lt is a great mistake for people to think that any human being can be given this much power without having his head turned and becoming an absolute ruler, resisting and refusing to be held by the weak pleas of the people who have no real power or voice in the government. One of the leading newspapers of Virginia says that the officials under the short ballot system have only to please the appointing head, and the appeals of the people will not even be noticed, and these political bosses will ride heartlessly over public demands. The editor of the P0l'fA'lI101ll'll Sim' says that under the short ballot system, the olheials will not be answerable to the people, but only to the Governor. These men will become drunk with the power vested in them by a Supreme head who is chosen only to set up and establish firmly a political machine on a foundation of czardom and oligarchy. This system would necessarily mean oiling up the political machinery instead of breaking it down as it should do. Charles A. Beard says that under the short ballot system the administration of the government will be unknown to the law, and only slightly, if at all, subject to the pressure of public opinion. There is no better method for introducing obscurity into the administration of a state. The following is a part of a speech delivered by Congressman Hanks before a Kentucky convention. It C2111 be applied to Virginia. Mr. Hanks said: l know that the voters of this old commonwealth are quite able of electing their own officers. l love our present form of government. l love it for its glory, beauty, and grandeur. l love it for what it has accom- plished. But while l love it, I loath in the deepest recesses of my heart any effort that will go in the direction of taking away from the people the right to choose their own othcialsf' Ex-Governor Toole, of Montana, spoke in the following way against the short ballot. He said: The people ought to have the right to choose all important state otlieers. The short ballot is without reason or necessity. lt will fuse together disagreeing elements of democracy and monarchy. ln short, executive appointments and popular sovereignity are antagonistic elements in our government and surely ought to be abandoned. This system will mean a repetition of centralized government against which our ablest representatives in national congress are lighting so hard with pleas of 'back to the constitution and rule by the peoplef Are we, the people, going to continue to rule, or, are we going to foolishly set up a monarchy by the adoption of the short ballot system. 'fhcse conditions will prevail, l am sure, whenever the adoption of this system takes place. Must we then allow the grand place of this old commmonwealth to be subject to such distressing conditions? Furthermore, Honorable judges, the Governor will not only himself be a czar, but he will draw to him a group of individuals who are not chosen because of any special fitness but because of influence brought to bear upon the Governor by letters, petitions, and advices of personal friends. lt is impossible for any one man to know the ability of all the men of a state, and he will have to rely upon suggestions made by intimate friends. lf he does not accept suggestions and relies upon his own initiative for selecting these officers, he is just as likely to err as is the mass of voters. There are men in politics who regard the governorship as merely a stepping stone to the U. S. Senate. lf Virginia should be unfortunate enough to elect such a man as this, he will not hesitate one moment to fill every otlice at his disposal with those who favor his promotion to the higher branch of Congress. This is not merely assumption, since Messrs. llaniel, Lee, Montague, Tyler, and Swanson all became candidates for Congress after first making the race for Governor. Ex-Governor Garvin, of Rhode Island, says that when the Governor becomes a boss, the workers like him, the party machine yields him a cheerful obedience, the legislature does his will, but the masses distrust him. The Governor is responsible only to public opinion, and without the recall in Virginia it will be very difficult to exercise legal restraint over the powers of the Governor. Honorable Judges, the ballot does not need to be shortened unless Virginians want to strip themselves of a right which has long been enjoyed and allow future Governors to pick partisans from among their own followers and place them in ofhces which rightly belong to the people. ln conclusion, Honorable judges, we, the negative, have proved our side of this debate by proving the following argument: Firxi, the short ballot is not needed in Virginia. For the ballot is already short, unintelligent voting is due to the educational system and not to the governmental system, states that have recently adopted the short ballot had very com- plex ones. .S'vt'0ufl, the short ballot aids in the building up of a political machine, for less people are interested in government affairs, the government will be made flexible, politicians favor it. Third, centralized power is dangerous, because it has proved dangerous in early history and the short ballot leads to the abuse of the appointive power and hence to czardom. l thank you, --TRISNIE Iflizmziii..
