Up the steps, through the hall, and in and out of class rooms went hurrying feet. Happy voices could be heard everywhere. Everyone was eager to meet old friends after a long summer's vacation. Bosom pals of last year were trying to get all of the summer's happenings imparted to each other in the few minutes until the bell would ring and school would be in session for the first day. New pupils were welcomed and became acquainted with the old ones. Teachers stepped about briskly, facing cheerfully another term of hard but faithful work. The new session opened with an' enrollment of two hundred and thirteen in high school-forty-one in the senior class, fifty-one in the junior class, sixty in the sophomore class, and fifty-one in the freshman class. We found only one new faculty member-Miss Lucille Scott, teach- er of commercial work. The opening of school created among the pupils a new spirit, the determination to do the very best, and to strive to reach the goal that each had set for himself in 1934-35. O MARVIN N.

M Rs. J. E. IKENBERRY History of Freshman Class On September twenty-fourth a group of twenty-two girls and thirty boys enrolled as freshmen at Bridgewater High School. Like all freshmen most of the group were shy and bashful at first, but under the able leadership of their class adviser, Mrs. Ikenberry, it was not long until these cool-headed boys and girls had found their places, arranged their classes, and settled down to a year of hard work. The class chose the following oustanding members as officers: Hope Sanger, presidentg Lawrence Miller, vice-presidentg Catherine Shirkey, secretaryg Carl Whitesell, treasurer. Old rose and silver were chosen as the class colors and the rambler rose as the symbol. One thing at a time and that done well, was chosen as the motto. On October .twenty-fourth the class held their first outing at Mint Springs. The afternoon was spent in playing active games and eating wienies. This outing was enjoyed very much by all present. As the year passed the class had many chances to prove its talent N TR Qwlf :i::::::f::- e'ggs i'e-vrm -- f r 'S'-fi-M--an ' i t V. in f i .. .---.,.-.,.

AMembers of the class participated in assembly programs and public programs put' on by the Science Club, F. F. Club, Choral Club, and Dramatic Club. Several freshmen played leading roles in the Junior Dramatic Club play. The class proved exceptionally good in athletics for freshmen. The boys came out second in class baseball and third in class basketball. Several members, both boys and girls, played in games against other schools. i When the mid-term examinations were given at the end of -the Hrst semest-er's Work, most of the class made good records. In February the class choose Miss Scott as their honorary member. Lawrence Miller and Joseph Howerton were elected as freshman editors of the AURORA. As the year draws to a close, the class is Working harder than ever. They have resolved to better their record when they come back next year as sophomores.

Carter, W'ilmer Edwards, Ellie Simmers Fall, Physical Education Program During the fall the boys were divided equally into eight teams and the girls into the same number of teams for physical education. Each had a daily schedule of games to be played. The girls played kick-baseball, volley ball, playground ball, and dodge lball, while the boys played soccer, dodge ball, volley ball, and playground ball. Each team had a captain whose duty was to take the team to and from the athletic field, manage his team in the game, and keep track of the points his team made each day. The first ten minutes of the physical education period was spent in taking exercise under the physical education directors. The four best teams, both boys and girls, received one point for the day. When the exercises were over the captains marched their teams to the proper places to play the scheduled games for the day. The winning team received two points. When the teams marched into the building the teams were judged on march- ing. The teams which marched better than their opponents received one point, making 'a possible four points to be obtained in one day. A major was elected for both girls and boys to take cares of the equipment and -help with the direction of the physical education program. Raymond Fry was elected major for the boys and Marieta Sanger for the girls. The following were elected 'captains of the teams: ' GIRLS BOYS Team 1 ......V . ............ ..,.....

Thus sang the poet, and thus thought the ergpectant audience on November 1, 1934 at the most magnificent display of beauty ever seen at one time in Bridgewater. Lilting music! Gorgeously gowned girls! Hearts beating high! An expectant hush! Then wild applause as the favorites turned on their charm for the benefit of the judges and their friends in the audience. These thirty charming girls were vieing with each other for the title of Miss Bridgewater. Chosen as sponsors of the various business enterprises and clubs in town,.'each was 'doing her'best to show her sponsor that his choice was good. Of this number, those chosen from the high school were: Jean Leatherman, LaRue Huffman, Marieta Sanger, Mabel Chumbley, Henryetta Heltzel, Frances Shull, Ethel Miller, Edythe Devier, Lucille Thacker, Alice Miller, Ruby Huffman, Mildred Cromer, Mercedes Allen, Mary K. Bradburne, Mary Lee Whitesell, Carolyn Gilkerson, Mary Elizabeth Miller, Margaret Shaffer, Charlena Layman, and Frances XVl1itesell. Personality, dignity, and natural beauty were the points by which the winner was chosen. Short vaudeville skits served to entertain the audience while the judges bit their pencils and debated upon the eliminations. The air seemed charged with electricity and pent-up emotions as the last two girls, Mercedes Allen and Frances Whitesell came back for the final decision of the judges. Then Mr. Suter took the beautiful loving cup and everyone in the auditorium moved to the edge of his seat-a death-like hush hung over all. Finally the words . . . pre- sent this cup to 'Miss Bridgewater', and Frances Whitesell received the cup and the title Miss Bridgewaterf' Applause! sighs! relaxation! and the first Beauty Pageant ever staged in Bridgewater came to an end. Fall Carnival People milling about everywhere, the air filled with the sound of -horns blowing, the shouts of barkers advertising their shows, the almost inhuman cries of the wild man of Borneo, the joyous laughter of happy peopleg confetti flying everywhere-such was the high school gymnasium on the night of November 23. The carnival was one of 'the outstanding events of the year.

We soon organized our class as follows: president, Frederick Doveg vice-president, Elsie Cookg secretary, Wilda Holleng and treasurer, Cabell Shull. XVe steered safely through the year with a few minor mishaps and adventures, and with several jolly class parties adding varity to the every- day routine. Toward the end of the year we selected 'Mrs. Ikenberry as our honorary member, blue and white for our class colors, and blue and white iris for our flower, and To make the better best for our motto. The next fall we came eagerly back to our school, much wiser fa.nd probably a little more swell-headedj since we could now claim the sophisticated name of Sophomores and think of ourselves as upperclassmen. Our membership increased to fifty-eight, mak- ing us the largest class in school and bringing us some fine students from Mt. Crawford, Pleasant Valley, Spring Creek, Briary Branch, Timber Ridge, and Port Republic. We il at it V Wae-- e 1 ---as-,Mem,MM 1- FIRST ROW: Tillie Long, Evaleen Earman Mary XVilliams, Hazel Snyder Marjorie Eye, Lois M.

We also elected George Lequear and Charlene Rhodes as class reporters for our school paper and Charlene Rhodes and Frederick Dove our class editors for our annual KQTHE AURORA. Soon after school started we decided to have a uget-acquainted ,party since we had a large number of new students, and Went to 'iThe Willows where we played games, had a good old Wiener roast, and a good time in general. Towards the end of the year we had another rollicking party at our High School Auditorium where we played games and had refreshments. Our class includes in its ranks some very promising athletes, singers, and actors and actresses. We ha.ve contributed to the different activities of the school and have been recognized a very talented class. At mid-semester we were sorry that Lillian Homan and Rodney Snyder left us but were glad to see them advancing for they had enough credit units to make them Juniors. Towards the end of the year Harry Lee Heatwole left us but his place was partially filled by the arrival of a new student, Virginia Mae Heatwole. We hope that next year we can all come back to school, retaining our record of being the largest class, and a class of which our school will be proud. ff, i 'iI7f T1QAff ' T' j 53,3 1 ' I' I'O ir IC Sophomo he T C , C . .-4 NA 'ADMI D FOR CAN YOU FEATURE AMBITION Marion Baker. ..

The girls showed a very ine begin- ning for the new season. Allen scored high with 19 points out of the 24-14 that were made. The next game was a very close game. This was played against Dayton on the latter's court. The game was won practically through the foul shots. If it had not been for the splendid work of Sanger and Foster, Bridgewater guards, in holding down the Dayton forwards, the game would prob- ably ha.ve ended very differently. The final score was 12-11, in favor of Bridgewater. The second game with New Hope, and the first game in the home court showed also the good work of the Bridgewater team. Through the splendid co-operation of the team and Eleanor Mil1er's good shots, the Bridgewater team won their third game 26-17. Bridgewater lost their first game to the alumnx. - l MISS MATTIE MILLER Although this was a walk away the Bridgewater Giflf' Bffkffbdfl Cvdfb girls never showed signs of faltering but kept their spirits up to the very end. Through the good pass- ing of Homan and Driver in center Bridgewater was able to keep the alumna: from completely taking the score away. The score was 13-42 in favor of the alumnaz. . The game with the Dayton team on the home court proved to be very different from what the team had expected. The girls played on even terms the Hrst half, but the Dayton girls came back with a determination to win and Bridgewater lost 9-22. The Luray team met Bridgewater on the la.tter's court. With good passes and teamwork the Bridgewater team won a splendid victory 34-20. The game with Shenandoah was probably the best and hardest game of the season. Both teams played on even terms up to the last when Eleanor Miller added the points which won the game 21-20. Another trip brought us another victory. In the game with Broadway the Bridgewater team again co-operated well. The game was close but finally Bridgewater won 19-16. The game with Shenandoah on their court proved very unsuccessful. The good passing and co-operation between the guards, Homan and Sanger, held the Shenandoah forwards in the last of the game and also helped Bridgwater to score. Shenandoah defea.ted Bridgewater 34-32. '- The second victory over Broadway was won on the home court, score being 22- 16. Ethel Miller and Homan played well in the center and kept the Broadway guards from sending the 'ball to their forwards. Waynesboro won an overwhelming victory from Bridgewater on the former's court. Although the Bridgewater girls played hard to the end they were no match for NVaynesboro girls. The game ended with a score of 21-33. . The game with Harrisonburg was very unsuccessful. But despite the fact that Harrisonburg had the stronger team, the Bridgewater team put up a good fight. Har- risonburg dcfeated Bridgewater 44-6.

Everyone seemed headed for the high school building. Among the number that passed through the doors were forty-two freshmen, who were known to the upper classmen as Rats and Greenies.', But even rats are wise and so at Mrs. Ikenberry's suggestion a business meeting was called and class officers were elected as follows: president, Mary Elizabeth Miller, vice-presi- dent, Ethel Millerg secretary, Henry Pitsenbarger. The class mot-to chosen was: Not to the top, but climbing , the flower: lily of the valley, colors: green and white. The class was happy to secure Miss Cora Click as honorary member. The sophomore year was begun in earnest with Miss Cora as advisory and honorary member. The class enjoyed teasing the rats very much but it did not let this interefere with its work. The officers elected for this year were: president, Mary Elizabeth Miller, vice-president, DeWitt Miller, secretary, Alice Miller, treasurer, Marion Thacker. An enjoyable evening was spent on November 8 in playing games and roasting weiners down along the river. The class was Well represented in athletes. The girls won the class volley ball championship. Were the sophomores proud of them! Now we are juniors! Our class ofhcers are: president, Ralph Alleyg vice-president, Marion Thacker, secretary, Alice Miller, treasurer, Billy Craun. Mr. Glick is our class adviser. We are well represented in volley ball, basketball, and baseball. Several of our members received monograms. We enjoyed a hike to Mint Spring on October 17. We played games and ate hot dogs to our hearts' content. Yummy! On the night of February 20 we had a party in the school gymnasium. Every one had a good time and especially enjoyed the refreshments which consisted of potat-o salad, sandwiches, lemonade, and lollypops. Still we aren't letting these things interfere with our climb to the top. A few short summer months will separate us and we will return as seniors. --C. ARGENBRIGHT. Haas ---A -A +f a +- ix J iii., im juniors Jolly juniors now are we, Dignified Seniors soon we'll be If We strive and toil each day Complete each task along the way. Up the hill we still must climb To reach success in the given time. Yes, success is shining clear, We shall ma-ke itg never fear. Nothing else shall bar the way For We Juniors bravely say, We've fought the fight without fear We'll reach the top in one more year. In B. H. S. we all must work, And our duty never shirk, . If at the top we hope to stand And be the leaders of our land. Onward still We bravely trod, To do our work in sight of Godg Do our work with might and skill And find success across the hill. Round the Campfires we have playedg While at parties friendships made, Friendships that shall live foreverg And in our memories dieg no never.

Volley Ball When the weather turned cold we started to play volley ball games in the gymnasium. These games were played three days a week, The first two days there were three games played between six of the sixteen physical education teams. On the third day we played class games.

BOYD GLICK ' Baseball Coach Ray .Michael, James Casey, Meredith T A MEETING called on March 8, thirty- five aspirants responded and announced their candidacy for positions on the base- ball team. As leaders for the team, Edwin Shirkey was selected as manager and Raymond Fry as captain. Quite a number of players from last year's team and squad were included in this group, however, a large part of it was composed of individuals who were new in high school baseball. Practically all of the boys had some experience either on grade school, class, or club teams. Because of a late spring, much rain and cloudy wea.ther, early practice was greatly ham- pered. Only a few good practices were possible in March. The team this year will be composed of selections made from the following groups of players: Pitchers--Eugene Funkhouser, Woodrow Landis, Paul Jones, Carl Whitesell, Frank Hisey, and Leon Garber. Catchers- Raymond Fry, Orey Huffman and Owen Suter. Those trying for field-Harry -Lee Whitmore, Wilmer Edwards, Wilils Wise, Ward Wenger, Talford Will, and Joseph Foster. Infielders include D. Miller, Alfred Payne, Edwin Shirkey, Craun, Billy Suter, and Dewitt Whitmore. School Yells Nigger, nigger, hoe potater Half past alligator, U Ram, bam, bullic bawl Chicken, haw, saw Bridgewater!

Glancing around I spied a peculiar loohing cottage. As I drew near a tiny fairy appeared in the doorway. She drew me into the house and immediately took me into a room with a large pool in the center. Looking at me she said, It wll be a great pleasure to grant you the privilege of seeing your classmates- of '35. Forget everything else and gaze into the pool. In so doing you will see them. I did so and to my utter amazement the Congressional Li-brary appeared before my eyes. In a. richly furnished room sat Mercedes Allen, who is the librarian there. Garfield Hospital loomes into view. Walking down the hall is a distinguished look- ing Doctor whom I believe is Jeanne Leatherman. Accompanying her is Marieta Sanger, a graduate nurse. Circling over the city is an airplane. Oh! it is going to land. Out steps Leon Garber and Eugene Funkhouser. Who ever thought they would be Air Mail Pilots for Uncle Sam? Washington, D. C. still harbors one more of my old classmates. I see Dorothy Devers as the Secretary of Labor. She has taken the place of Miss Perkins. The water ripples and the scene is washed away. Hollywood takes its place. I wonder who can be in Hollywood. Sitting before a gorgeous dressing table I recognize a red headed movie actress. It is LaRue Huffman. Who's that distinguished looking comedian over there?' If it iisn't Willis Wise. Oh! I see a large high school. Why there's Carolyn Gilkerson teaching the children of Hollywood. In her hand she holds a Physics book written by Charlena Layman. Pittsburgh! Ascending from a coal mine is a young man carrying a latern. Through the black and dust I recognize Woodrow Landis. The scene shifts to Philadelphia. Can it really be Cleada Miller who has landed there? She is a dietitian in the well known Philadelphia General. The scene changes and I find myself looking at a large high school building near completion. I recognize there a tall, slender woman who is Arline Ringgold. She is to be the prinicpal of this school which is in Louisville, Ky. My eyes next light on a beautiful cottage in Oregon. There is Edythe Devier pre- paring a delicious dinner. Who is that tugging at her apron string? If it isnit Kenneth, Jr. If there isn't Mildred Cromer, in New York City, the owner of a beauty parlor. She is dressing someone's hair. Can you imagine Ruth Lam as her assistant? Oh! Where is that? Florida, the land of sunshine and roses. A big baseball game is on. Look who's at the bat! Robert Snyder. Why t'here's Chicago! There sits a dignified young man at a desk. It is Dovell Lambert, the manager of a big business firm. I always thought he would be a. preacher. - The broadcasting station at Nashville, Tennessee! If that isn't Oliver Keagy, now a famous preacher. if 5335 eff ' We or r11a1ff3r1.:1i 1ff'2ig1jf ffT '-'- - .'tLf.l1O!'?. A . A 'ii if--:ff an-4.-ff as 2 it A large opera house in Pa-ris looms into view. Through an open window flows the beautiful voice of Ruby Huffman. She is rendering some of her favorite selections to a large audience. Through the mist and fog I see London. There's Oxford University. ' Who would have thought Ray Michael would be a chemistry professor there? The scene shifts to Africa. Why thereis Raymond Frye, a missionary. He seems to be quite popular among the natives as he teaches them many American games. Rome appears on the scene. XVhy there's Alda Snyder, in a large studio, working at an easel. Some day she may become a famous artist. The scene is Washed away and Denmark appears before me. just look at that large music school. The director is no other than Alfred Payne. Now I see South America, where Marion Cline is an engineer. He is the head of the great construction works carried on there. Russia. looms into view. In a richly furnished room is Ivy Simmers, a society leader entertaining some of her friends. There, in Ireland, is a great mansion. The only occupant is Edwin Shirkey who is a bachelor. I wonder why he went to Ireland. Paris again appears. There in a large French high school I see Leta. Fifer teaching English. Oh! It looks very cold now. That's Greenland, the land of ice and snow. 'There is Meredith Craun and Isaac Early teaching the Eskimos. The scene shifts to the Panama Canal Zone. Who ever thought William Homan and Robert Miller would land in Panama? They are trying to make it a safer place to live. Even China harbors one of my old classmates. There I see Juanita Baker, who is making extensive study of the people and their government. She is writing a book en- titled, Tbe Chinese Relmblic. There's Mabel Chunibley writing poetry. Her abode is in Florida, where she can study Old Mother Nature. My eyes are attracted by a very large apartment house in New York. There, in a beautiful decorated room, I see Frances Shull writing. She is now a very popular author of novels. Harrisonburg, Virginia! Why there's Elizabeth Rhod-es who is the most popular cartoonist in the United States. How scattered my classmates are. I sure am glad that I got to see them all. l Wiffffff T W :f - '-ff: l 1' SIN Crashing Society Br JAMES C.

I have no words strong enough to express our thanks to you for your steady encouragement, sacrifices, and all that has made it possible for us to attain this goal. Tonight we have a feeling of gladness because we have reached the goal for which we started four years ago. But in the mind of each there also arises a tone of sadness, because we as a class must part. We must say good-bye to the school and friends whom we have learned to love. We must go into the world alone, each with his own means by which he is to cross the great chasm of life, The time has come when we must whole-heartedly turn our thoughts, our actions, and our lives toward some definite aim, some definite purpose, with which we may develop our body, our mind, our character, and our lives into a noble and honorable end. We must plan well-not only aim high, but have the courage and ambition to carry out our plan, to brave and defeat the things of least importance but of greatest tempta- tion. Unless We can do this, our 'high aims will become only so called air castles, which we cannot bring down to earth in everyday living. Pope expressed this well when he said, Destruction is full of people whose aims were good. Their aims were good but their character was weak, their ambition failed, their goal was blurred and finally darkened by activities, which in the end amounted to nothing. On this, a high aim, a. high goal, with unceasing work to reach it does our success or failure depend. Had this failed in the past we would never succeed in reaching this goal, or conquering the first step to successful life. In fact, we could never have enjoyed the advantages of a high school education. Three hundred years ago a sma.ll group of Pilgrims met in Boston. The meeting was called for a definite reason-to -decide a means by which they could give their children the advantages of a high school education. Was not the purpose of this small group of Pilgrims honorable? NVas it not their aim to give their children-the future citizens of the United State of America-an education so that they might develop for themselves names which would go down in the books of history? Our school today is the goal that has been reached as a result of this meeting. Only by carry on to success, like this, can we hope to make life worth while. So, fellow classmates, let us all set some goal and with a steady hand guide our lives in the path that will lead us to it. Our class motto, Rowing, Not Drifting, will make an excellent motto for us to carry throughout our life. When you are rowing you have in mind some goal some definite aim, some definite purpose, but should you start drifting, remember that a drifting boat has no goal. ROBERT MILLER Valcdictory---The Importance of Character onight we the class of '35 have met in our last class meeting to commemorate the sooth anniversary of secondary schools in America. They are institutions of which only America can boast and are primarily interested in character building, nothing being so important as the formation and pos- session of a good character. First let us distinguish between reputation and character. Reputation is what others think we areg character is what we really are. Too many of us are more anxious about our reputation thaln we are about our character, which is improper. XVhile we should 'endeavor to maintain a good reputation, it is far more important that we labor to possess a good character. Above everything else it is important that we do right and be right, wliether our motives and actions are properly understood and appreciated or not. Without a good character no one can be truly happy. Now let us see what forces help make up character. Among perhaps the most powerful are early impressions, examples, and habits. Early impressions too often are thought of as being far below their real worth. However we should realize how very important they are since impressions result in repetitions which finally result in habits. Soon a character is formed and if someone has made a mistake in setting examples along the way it may be too late before they realize it. The tiniest bits of opinion shown in the minds of children in private life, afterwards issue forth to the world, and become its public opiniong for notions are gathered out of nurseries. lf we would heed the truth and warning of this statement how much better our world would be, for if examples are of improper nature the result will be ruinous since character is everything. It was the realization of this fact which led our missionary forefathers to establish three hundred years ago these institutions which help girls and boys build characters which will be an honor to the coming generation, character building being one of the seven definite objectives of secondary schools. Character is important because of the influence it has on the moulding of the characters of others. Wheth'er we are conscious of the fact or not we are constantly radiating some influence, be it good or bad. It is our duty to make it the best. We can be the noblest of missionaries if we have good characters which are worthy patterns for others to fashion after since character is constantly before one's attention exerting great influence. It is like a star which shines with steady radiance. If we would develop in our characters self-sacrifice, love, patience, forebearance, meekness, harmony, purity, honesty, and integrity along with -many other vital qualities and then help others acquire them how much more worthwhile our lives would he and how much happier we would be in service to our fellowmen. The statement Life is not measured by the time we live would apply to character. lf we have a good character we can do untold good in a single day. We may pass on but we have left our influence of character on all with whom we have come in contact and certainly we want it to be a worthy influence. Charles Dickens has said There is nothing beautiful and good that dies and is forgotten. Certainly there is nothing more beautiful than a good character beaming in someone's face and though the person die the memory of their character lingers and is instilled in the lives of others. Influence of character-that silent and magnetic thing which has been called God's great telephone-never dies. It lives forever and continues to grow being either a blighting or a blessing as it rolls. Influences of character are so unconsciously given that we do not realize our responsibility for them but nevertheless we should be very careful in all we do. Our influence may be either a blessing or a curse. Whiclm shall it be? If only we would make our influence a blessing. We have no greater joy than that of service to our fellow-men and certainly we can serve them in no better way than by the influence of a good character. Character is important from the standpoint of strength. Too often we say the man 'with feeling has a strong character but to the contrary. He is weak and lets his passions get the best of him. We measure the strength of a man by the feelings he snbdues, not by the power of those which subdue him. Real strength of character results in composure. It is evident when a man with manly power of indignation in him can take an insult and yet restrain or control himself and forgive rather than seek for revenge. Through strength of character we receive a real happiness. People admire strength of character since it gives rise to a wonderful disposition which makes others, as well as the person possessing it happy. . Trials are the real test of character. They come in many different forms, and through as many avenues of approach. True is the man who overcomes them and does right. Someone has said What are circumstances that they should hinder a true man when his heart is set within him to do right. If a man has a firmly established character nothing can shake it. He will take courage and stand true through the good unceasing trials of this life. These schools which have existed and grown during the past three hundred years are therefore certtainly engaged in a great work-that of building characters which are lasting. Humbolt has said Only what we have wrought into our characters during life can we take away with us. Secondary schools have taken the herioc responsibility of moulding America's destinies through the building of character. And now to the faculty and our parents to whom we shall ever be indebted we wish to express our deepest feelings of gratitude. Whatever we shall accomplish in life either great or small we owe it to you who have sacrificed so much for us. May we ever strive to maintain such character as will be an honor to you and thus in a small way show our appreciation for what you have done for us. And now, my classmates, as we go our ways let us always strive to build characters which will be an honor to our parents, our teachers, our school, and our nation. Remember we are the future citizens of America and let us make our country stand out above all others. This we can accomplish only as we maintain good strong Christian characters.
