LIBRARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA GIFT OF DIVISION OF EXTENSION CHRISTIAN SB URG i ur ' 0? VIRGINIA : V4 •IV- HIGH SCHOOL Tis education from the common mind, Just as the twig is bent the tree’s inclined.’ TREES By Joyce Kilmer I think that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree, A tree whose hungry mouth is prest Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast; A tree that looks at God all day, And lifts her leafy arms to pray; A tree that may in summer wear A nest of robins in her hair; Upon whose bosom snow has lain Who intimately lives with rain. Poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree. Virginians (ilf.ftVM THE SENIOR CLASS OF CHRISTIANSBURG HIGH SCHOOL PRESENTS THE 1949 DEMON The “Demon Staff has endeavored to compile a yearbook that depicts our school life in a different manner from that used in former years. “Trees” is our Theme. Beginning with the Faculty as the roots—the very foundation upon which our school is built—we trace our classes, clubs, athletics, work, and all ac¬ tivities and interests until we have com¬ pleted the comparison with the growth of the tree. We sincerely hope that we have presented a comprehensive picture of life at C. H. S. for 1948-49. “A pillar ' d shade High over-arched, and echoing u ' alks between. ' -—Milton ( ' Kll fn. DEDICATION As a token of our appreciation for his kindness to all and for his untiring services, we dedicate this 1949 Demon” To Mr. Archie B. Fisher IN APPRECIATION The “Demon” Staff and the Senior Class wish to thank the Boosters for their fine support and other Patrons for the invaluable aid they have rendered by using the Ad¬ vertising Section of the “Demon” and making it possible for us to publish another yearbook. “Blind roots That grope the dark Uncharted sod May lift In the clear day above Unknown even to themselves A floiver — Perhaps a tree — Toward God.” —Elizabeth Ann Sutton DEMON MONTGOMERY COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD Seated. -.

The joys we ' ve had throughout the years Will linger on through smiles and tears. The friends we know and cherish now Will be in mem-or-ies somehow. The teachers and their friendly ways, Have helped us through our cloudy days To lead us on our different paths And help us find our place at last. And as we start our life anew We hope our dreams come true. And so good luck—good-bye to you.

Harold explained that he had had difficulty in locating me and as I glanced at the date, I realized that the big event would take place the next day. I phoned and found that I could get a plane in an hour. Although I had many duties that should be attended to, 1 felt that 1 could not let the opportunity of seeing all my classmates pass, so I hurriedly prepared for the trip. As I stepped into the plane, I was stopped by the Air Hostess who was helping an old lady to her seat. I, waiting to get by, realized that it was Betty June Collins. I talked with her for only a few minutes, but during our conversation she told me that William Atkinson w r as pilot of the plane, so I felt sure I would reach my destination safely. I relaxed in my seat and watched the people boarding the plane. Two very stylish-looking ladies took the seat opposite me. They were talking so fast I could not help turning to look at them. It was Janie Elliott and Iris Woods. Janie is a retired model and now owns her own shop in New York. Iris is a successful author. Her latest publication is “Autobiography of a Cheer¬ leader.” Being with these friends made the trip seem much shorter. When we landed at the V. P. I. Airport, which is now one of the largest in this section, there was a bus waiting to take us to Christiansburg. I recognized the bus driver as Robert Swain. I later found out that Robert owned the Bus Lines, but was driving one of his busses during the rush of “Home-Coming Day.” As I entered the Hotel and walked by a group of people, I heard a familiar voice say, “It is every person ' s duty, as a citizen to vote.” I knew then that it was none other than Anne Jones. I listened a few minutes before I was noticed and then after greetings, I entered into the discussion of friends. I learned that Anne is a Math Instructor and makes political speeches on the side. Polly Anne Harmon, who is now at the Uni¬ versity of Missouri, has discovered a new way to train teachers. Etta Mae Roberts has been quite successful as a tap-dancing teacher in Tampa, Florida. Allene Williams is working for the Bureau of Standards in Washington and Floyd C. Collins has a large sheep ranch in Oregon. Although I was enjoying our chat, 1 excused myself to prepare to go to the game. C. H. S. had changed considerably since 1949. There was a huge building and an enclosed football field with stationary bleachers. As I entered the gate, I met Har¬ old. It was almost game time, so we went to find our seats. Harold is owner and editor of the “Montgomery News Messenger,” and just like a news column, without a breath, he told me about several of our friends about whom I had been wondering. “Judy Cox is now the star of her own radio program, ' The Judy Coxova Show’; James Ray Huff owns a very prosperous farm about 10 miles below Roanoke; Jo Ann Charlton is the Buyer for Leggett ' s Dept. Store; Phyllis Oliver owns a tea room in Norfolk; E. J. Martin has made a fortune in the Used Car business; Lois Teel is an accountist in a Baltimore Brokerage firm; Louise Swain is a nurse at a Naval Base in the Hawaiian Islands; Cecil Woolwine is a Building Contractor in Utah.” I was very much in¬ terested in what Harold was telling me, but it was time for the kick-off and our attention was centered on the field. Among the late comers, I spotted some old friends whom I had heard of through the years and read about in the papers. Russell Stebar had made a name for himself through the perfection of Television in this section of the country. Bobby Wirt had discovered a new process of breaking up cranium. Veltie Sutphin and her husband, while exploring, accidently discovered a new country. The game was over before I knew it. It had been interesting, but I found that I had centered most of my thoughts on former classmates rather than football. Harold dropped me at the Hotel, as he had some last minute duties to perform. In the lobby, before the banquet, I drifted around to speak to several people 1 had not heard about or seen for a long time. I found that Nancy Martin ' s dreams had come true. She and her husband owned a large horse ranch in Oklahoma. Bettye Lee Fames is now in the movies, starring in a series of Giggle Puss com¬ edies. While talking with Pauline Spradlin, 1 learned that she had just returned from the Northern part of Africa ■ 2f 27 } DEMON 19 4 9 SENIOR PROPHECY where she has been a missionary. Barbara Capps is Commercial Artist for “Vogue” magazine. Barbara Martin is now playing on Broadway in the Great Production “The Straight Line.” Jerry Sturgill owns a Western Auto Store in Laramie, Wyo. It is one of the largest in that section of the country. Wilma Johnson owns a Ladies’ Shoe store in Roanoke, Virginia. Blanch Akers is Executive Vice President of Standard Drug Co. in Richmond, Virginia. She is in charge of Sodas. Joyce Myers has now completed the staff of her Atomic Beauty School. They are: Hair Stylist, Kath¬ erine Nolen; Make-up Artist, Lena Ruth Martin; Mani¬ curist, Julia Ann Croft. Joyce has invented a new formula to replace peroxide, which will produce the same effect. The chimes rang in the dining room and we found our places at the table. I was seated between Ruby Shelton and Nancy Williams. Ruhr is a great star of television. She had come in touch with several of whom I had lost contact. She told me that Barbara Sue Weeks has been teaching swimming and her class won the Olympics of 1968. I turned to Jiggie and asked her if she had seen Barbara King. She said, “Yes, she is here with her husband. You know, she married her boss, she got good looks as well as money.” I asked Nancy if she had married the man of her choice. She said, “Yes, 1 have just completed my 8th divorce and have decided to remarry my first husband.” Everything grew quiet as Grover Nixon, the local Mortician, rose to make the welcome address. In his address he mentioned that only eight were unable to attend the reunion. Those being: Stanlia Altizer, working in an office in South America. Ralph Reed, Prospecting in Alaska for Plutoniaum. Naomi Wirt, in the Waves. Ralph Slusher, Making campaign speeches to be elect¬ ed to the senate. Oris Maxey is Bass Fiddler for the Drum and Bugle Corps in Providence, R. I. and they are giving a concert. Margaret Chandler, Missionary in Korea. Bernard Gilmer, Admiral, was unable to be ashore. Kitty Knowles, Superintendent of nurses, in Los Angeles. Mr. Morgan was called upon to say a w ' ord, but Mrs. Morgan stood and said that he was at home with the Grandchildren. When she heard of the reunion she made it a point to come to town that day to bring the eggs so she could attend. Since they have been living on the farm it has been hard for them to get to town very often. We were honored to have Joanne Maupin, the great concert singer, to sing for us and Lois Gave Goodwin to accompany her. Lois Gave also gives concerts of her own. At the conclusion of this number, Dr. Stasi Delvizis came in. Due to an emergency operation he was unable to catch his plane. He was only with us a short time, but it was good to see him again. The turkey was delicious and I remarked that I hadn’t eaten better, when Richard Graham seated near me re¬ plied, “These turkeys were produced on the Morgan ' s farm.” Richard is now Chief of Police in Lansing, Michigan. At the close of the banquet, Andy Miller, now a prominent Photographer, asked everyone to keep his seat so he could make some pictures for the local paper. After the Banquet, I met several people in the lobby whom I had not seen before. Florence Delvizis is music director at Hollins College. While talking to Florence, I learned that Mrs. Zirkle is recovering after a nervous breakdown from trying to compile an annual that would receive first rating. Patsy Givens is Editor of “Good Housekeeping” magazine. Louise Graham has been traveling and spending the money ' she won at a Quiz Show. Nearly everyone had left and I was talking over the happenings of the day with Jean Shelor, the wife of a professional football player. Jean said, “It seems as if there are still one or two people unaccounted for. Oh! now ' I know, it is Jim Browm and Kitty Rae Chrisman— they ' were shot after writing the Class Prophecy. 4 28 19 4 9 VMjl DEMON LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT I, Lois Gave Goodwin, do hereby will and bequeath to Don Dunlap my ability to day dream in classes and not get caught (which I never did).

The color scheme of Red and White was very beautifully carried out in decorations and table motifs. The theme, “The Stork Club was quite realistically portrayed. Music was furnished by the C. I. I. Band and Quartet, under the direction of Mr. Z. T. Holms. The Seniors and Faculty members were presented with gifts by waitresses dressed in colorful red and white costumes. Harold Akers acted as Master of Ceremonies. This affair will be always a cherished memory for both the Juniors and Seniors. { 65 } 19 4 9 DEMON FOOTBALL King and Queen 1 he Christiansburg High School Homecoming game with Blacksburg High School was played on November 5, 1948. After this game at a Dance sponsored by the Girls ' Tri Hi-Y, the Football King and Queen, Andy Miller and Louise Swain, were crowned by Airs. Guy Weeks, sponsor. It is customary to keep secret the identity of the King and Queen until the time of the dance. A great deal of enthusiasm on the part of the student body is shown in the voting for those to be King and Queen. 66 H MEET MY WIVES - SENIOR PLAY The Senior Class presented their annual play on November 19, 1948. T he cast consisted of Stasi Delvizis, Ralph Slusher, Grover Nixon, Jo Ann Charlton, Bettye Lee Eames, Jim Brown, Polly Ann Harmon, James Ray Huff. Mrs. R. F. Morgan and M rs. P. H. Zirkle, faculty directors, were assisted by Kitty Rae Chrisman as student director and Barbara Lee King and Nancy Jane Williams as prompters. The parts were all cleverly portrayed and the play was a great success. Excellent acting was done by the entire cast. After the play a party was given at the home of Barbara Sue Weeks. This was a three-act farce. Alex Ware gets a substitute when his domineering wife quarrels and leaves home. He does this to oblige his old college pals because Ann and her old-maid sister, Prudence, refuse to attend a dinner without a chaperone. Alex’s mother-in-law, a dictatorial lady, allergic to peanuts, causes a terrible mi -up. The antics of Uncle Zebediah, from Idaho, and the masqueraders in wriggling out of one dilemma after another brought roars of laughter and perfected the entertainment. 4 67 Is DEMON (A bo-ve ) HOME ECONOMICS CLUB INITIATION OCTOBER 25, 1948 (Below) BETA CLUB INITIATION DECEMBER 13, 1948 4 68 4 Hl-Y CHRISTMAS PAGEANT The Annual Christmas Pageant was given on Friday, December 17, 1948.
