She fills it up with gasoline, A quart of oil or two; Then with a puff and hang and grunt— It speeds the Valley through. Miss Hughes has a history class; She loved it as her books; And when she’d hear us talking, She’d stop us with a look. There is Miss Collins in our school, And she was wondrous wise; She wanted for each “t” a cross And dots for all the “i’s.” And when she found a dot left out, With all her mighty brain She crossed the “t’s” noth right and left And dotted “i’s’’ again.

Do you hear that contagious laugh around the corner? Well, that’s Nellie, the mischevious, merry, happy-go-lucky member of our class. She is a helper in both athletic and literary activities and furnishes us with pep and enthusiasm. Nellie is a good sport and always ready to en¬ joy everything. We hope Dame Fortune will smile favorably upon her and that she will always he as contented and happy as she is at C. H. S. PEARL VICTORIA CROSBY Uranian Literary Society; Athletic Association. Pearl, one of the industrious members of our class, has a desire and ability to get good lessons, to do right and to do her part. Although she is rather dignified and not as talkative as some other Senior, just wait until you know her and you will find her to he a jolly good companion. May your life’s work prove a joy and blessing to vou and those with whom you come in contact. VIRGINIA MAXINE HAMILTON Chairman of Program Committee of Literary Society Ath¬ letic Association; Vice-President of Literary Society ’26- ’27; Basketball Substitute ’27; Secretary of Tennis Club; President of Literary Society; Poet of Senior Class. Q “Not too serious, not too gay, but altogether a jolly good fellow,” is Virginia, a member of the class of ' 28. She has been a faithful student, al¬ though she has had a long drive to school every day. Virginia has been a supporter of school ac¬ tivities and is especially fond of good sports. In A i $ every wav the class of ’28 wishes her good luck. R (A HAZEL MARIE RALSTON Basketball Team ’25-’26-’27; Member of Program Com¬ mittee for Literary Society ’25-’26; Treasurer of Sopho¬ more Class 25-’26; Secretary and Treasurer of Junior Class ’26-’27; Vice-President Literary Society ’26-’27; Librarian ’26-’27; Associate Editor Churchville Chats ’26-’27; Member of Athletic Association; President of Senior Class ’27-’2 8; Editor-in-Chief Churchville Chats ’27-’28; Vice-President Literary Society ’27-’28; Busi¬ ness Manager Cupboard ’27-’28; Manager Basketball Team ’27-’28; Historian Senior Class ’27-’28. Hazel is an efficient worker in every phase of school activities and has been a stand-by both in literary and athletic work. We also learn that she is interested in domestic science which we are positive will be of use to her in the near future. Hazel is familiarly known to us as “Sister,” which is a fitting name. For when one is injured or oppressed she is always there to help. We are sure “Sister” will meet success in the future, for helping others is a wise plan. MILLER ALFRED FRANKLIN RITCHIE Baseball Team ’25-’26-’27-’28; Member of Honor Council ' 24- ' 25, ’25-’26; President Literary Society ’25; Cartoon¬ ist Churchville Chats ’25-’26; Treasurer Literary Society ’26; Basketball Team ’26-’27; Editor-in-Chief Churchville Chats ’26-’27; Manager Baseball Team ’27; Secretary and Treasurer Victorian Literary Society ’27; President Junior Class ’26-’27; Editor-in-Chief Churchville Chats ’27-’2 8; Editor-in-Chief of Cupboard ’27-’28; President Athletic Association ’28; Secretary and Treasurer Se¬ nior Class ’27-’28; Track Team ’28; Valedictorian Sen¬ ior Class ’27-’28; Member Tennis Club ’28; Winner of Contest Medal for Robert E. Lee Essay. “Hitch your wagon to a star,” seems to be Mil¬ ler’s motto, for he is constantly striving to reach the top-most round in the ladder of fame. He is editor-in-chief of the Cupboard and valedictorian of the class, so it is evident that he has ambition, perseverance, and energy. Whenever there is any¬ thing to be done in athletic or literary activities you may count on Miller as a stand-by. We expect him some day to be one of the many great men who go out from C. H. S. and we know that the school will moan the loss in years to come, but our loss is Roanoke College’s gain. MILDRED VIRGINIA WANDLESS Editor-in-Chief of the Churchville Chats ’25; Chairman of the Program Committee for Literary Society ’26; Ex¬ change Editor of the Churchville Chats ’27; Secretary of the Literary Society ’27; Secretary and Treasurer of the Urania Literary Society ’27; Secretary and Treas¬ urer of the Athletic Association ’27; Assistant Business Manager of the Annual ’28; Last Will and Testament of the Senior Class ’28. Mildred hails from Bath County and joined us when we were a happy band of seventh graders. Mildred is quite capable of caring for herself and when the boys are around they have to toe the mark. She has a friendly disposition, which has won us all. Although she does not take an active part in athletics, she has been a faithful worker in other school activities, especially in lit¬ erary work. We believe she will have much success in life and continue to win friends. Best wishes of the class of ’28 go with her. PAULINE HOOVER WINE Secretary Honor Council ’25-’26; Chairman of Program Committee for Literary Society ’25-’26; Secretary Lit¬ erary Society ’26-’27; Associate Editor Churchville Chats ’26-’27; Member Athletic Association; Vice-President Senior Class ’27-’28; President Victorian Literary So¬ ciety ’27; Associate Editor Cupboard ’27-’28; Saluta- torian of Senior Class ’27-’28. Polly, as she is known to us, is one of the most active members of our class. She is Class Salu- tatorian and associate editor of the Cupboard and has done some splendid work. She has been very active in Literary Society work and has served in almost every office. Polly is a brilliant student, a true friend, and a good sport. Success awaits her we know. Even if you are little, keep on talking your way through and feed up on “bread, butter, and apple sauce.” MARGARET ALEATH YOUNG Basketball Team ’24-’25-’26; Tennis Club ’28; Chairman of Program Committee Victorian Literary Society ’28; Athletic Association Senior Class Prophet. Aleath, or “Bertie,” as she is known at C. H. S. firmly believes in the old maxim, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy,” so we see her en¬ joying the pleasures of life. She does not take an active part in athletics, but is a worker in literary activities and we especially remember her as Miss Lowcsie Custard in “An Old Fashioned Mother.” We wish her the greatest success in whatever she may undertake. KATHERINE ELOISE YOUNG Second Team Basketball ’24-’25, ’25-’26; Secretary and Treasurer of 4H Club ’26-’27, ’27-’28; Member Uranian Literary Society; Member Athletic Association; Member Tennis Club. Eloise is another member of our class who is quite capable of looking out for number one. She takes part in some of the school activities and is especially interested in the 4H Club Sewing Class. She may have a purpose for taking such an inter- . est in sewing. “You can never tell,” but in what¬ ever the future may hold we wish her the best of luck, for we realize her Saturday night dates to the show mean something. MARY ELIZABETH ZIGLER Athletic Association; Secretary and Treasurer of Victor¬ ian Literary Society; Assistant Editor of Churchville Chats ’27-’28; Member of 4H Club 24-’25. Mary is a rather quiet member of our class, but is that not an excellent thing in woman? She is a good friend and Senior and although she is quiet she has an enviable sense of humor which makes her a good companion. Alary is always willing and ready to try, so we are sure she will make her place in the world. JOHN PAUL ARMSTRONG Athletic Association; Treasurer of Literary Society ’25- ' 26; Associate Editor for Churchville Chats ’25-’ 26; Vice-President of Junior Class ’26-’27; President of Lit¬ erary Society ’26-’27; Tennis Club ’28; Chairman of Program Committee of Literary Society ’27-’28; Ad¬ vertising Manager of Cupboard. We can see John now with an annual under his arm and with a perpetual shake of the head in which way he would tell us that he had no luck that day. But luck came some wav, for it was due to his efforts that we were able to finance this annual. He has a great deal of determina¬ tion and works hard in everything he attempts, and best of all he believes in the maxim, “Build for character and not for fame,” and as a result he has both. JOSEPH LEROY HOWARD Athletic Association; Basketball Team ’26-’27; Baseball Team ’25-’26-’27-’28; Tennis Club ’28; Victorian Liter¬ ary Society; Track Team. The biggest sport, a good athlete, a handy gent with the ladies, and one who can manage always to get grades which will entitle him to play on the team, is Leroy. W hen all is said and done we will sing his praises, although they will not be sung as well as he can sing. ANNA BELLE HAMILTON Vice-President of Sophomore Class ’25-’26; Athletic Asso¬ ciation; Chairman of Program Committee of Uranian Literary Society ’27; President of Tennis Cluh ’28. There was no doubt in anyone’s mind but what Anna Belle received the vote for the prettiest girl as someone remarked, “those eyes mean some¬ thing.” Anna Belle has many admirers who we know are glad that she has another year to spend at C. H. S. LENWOOL) BLAIR MASINCUPP Athletic Association; Baseball Team ’25-’26-’27-’28; Basket¬ ball Team ' 24; Tennis Club; President of Victorian Lit¬ erary Society; Athletic Editor of Churchville Chats ’27 and ’28; President of Sophomore Class ’24-’25. If Lenwood can buil . his bungalow as well as he can build windows and fireplaces for stages, we are sure he and someone will live a cozy life. W e wish that everyone could be blessed with an accommodating disposition as he has. Lenwood, may your visits on the corner prove fruitful. RUTH OBEDIANCE MASINCUPP Basketball ’25 and ’26; Chairman Athletic Association; Program Committee of Uranian Literary Society; Ad¬ vertising Manager of Churchville Chats ’27-’28; Mem¬ ber of 4H Club. Ruth is one of our industrious schoolmates. She likes to read and can cook, sew, and keep house. Has she some definite reason for this de¬ votion to household management? May you lead the next year Seniors. rA vv, Senior Class Poem Four long years we’ve striven together For a goal which we now have reached, Years so happy have flown softly as a feather Wafted down as the day comes to a close And the sun sinks slowly into repose. From a scene of beauty that lingers through life’s twilight hour. We have won and as students we gaze upon the scene. And a peculiar thrill bounds through our hearts. It is all in a haze a thrill A vision that High School days are gone. We face life’s duty, Classmates, press on. These we meet and they can not be cast aside. The world lies before us, as unto the sea of life we go. Have the fearless heart to enter life’s voyage To brave the storms, to face the truth through weal or woe. To give the best we have, whether we be prophet, bard, or sage. We are alone, no teacher our faltering steps to guide Through greatest problems that come before us to decide. Yet Classmates, Friends, we’re about to part And say the sad word, “farewell.” To leave dear old C. H. S. where friendships grew, Will a tear unbidden start? Oh ! yes, but we shall weave the net anew Though the ships of life may carry us far; For in our minds linger many thoughts of you. By Virginia Hamilton. Salutatory 1 ' BECOMES my pleasant duty tonight, as the representative of the class of ' 28, to greet and welcome you to the closing exer¬ cises of the Churchville High School. While we welcome you with pleasure and a sense of pride in the close of a successful year of school work, yet at this glad hour there is also a feeling of humility due the knowledge that we have only begun the great work of education that lies before us. Our principal and teachers have worked faithfully with us in our efforts to complete the course of study; they have ever been ready to over¬ look our faults and failures, to help and cheer us on in the hard struggle for a grade of seventy-five, and to hold up our heads until the hour of victory has come. As we have labored under them, so they have labored for and with us, we salute you as our helpers and benefactors. We salute you, our schoolmates, and especially our classmates as fellow- workers in the same great cause of education—you who have run steadily to the end ; and who are about to receive the prize for which we have contended—our diplomas, which bear testimony to the completion of four years of High School work. But remember, our education is not finished ; it is only fairly begun. The knowledge already acquired should stimulate us to press on out into the unex¬ plored fields of higher education, if possible. But if not possible our minds should be eager to learn great lessons of truth from the experiences of everyday life and the literature that comes within our reach. We will have our own great problems to grapple and solve. We must struggle to win the mastery over self, and victory over all that oppose us on the hard-fought battlefields of life. I salute you, patrons, and friends, as eye-witnesses of our progress toward our goal as those who have ever had a deep interest in our welfare, as those who have given us the opportunities with which we have been blessed, and as those who have helped make us what we are. How much we owe to you cannot be fully told, as language is too poor to fully express the love of one friend for an¬ other, much less can it tell fully the debt of gratitude we owe you. Therefore, we salute you and welcome you tonight as interested helpers and propellings spirits. We welcome the superintendent of schools of the county and the members of the School Board, as servants of the people, who have had in your hands the su¬ pervision and guidance of this and the other schools in the county. Under your wise and faithful performance of the duties of your offices, you have been helpers to all of us, in helping us to complete the prescribed course of study. And now what teachers and pupils, patrons and pupils, superintendent and School Board have been to each other—helpers that may we all be through life. We shall pass this way but once, and as we have been taught the great lesson of helpfulness, will you let that lesson be put into practice in all your relations with your fellow men, “For time has come for man to love All people as his neighbor; The time has come for us to prove The dignity of labor.” —By Pauline Wine. History T WAS the fourteenth clay of September, 1924, a calm, peaceful Autumn day, radiant with the sunshine of hope, cheer, and joyous promise, that the good old Ship, Churchville High School, stood at anchor at the wharf. It was the same old ship that had carried many passengers to safe harbor in the Land of Great Wisdom, hut this day was a gala day in its history, and many people gazed upon it in wonder as they watched twenty-one students happily step aboard, for it was rumored that they were about to set sail over new and untried waters in a quest of The Fountain of Perfect Understanding. We were naturally very enthusiastic and asked many eager questions of our captain as to the incidents of our voyage and its probable length, and were assured that if we were per- servering and diligent in our duties we should easily reach our destination at the end of four years. We were young and socially inclined, full of questions, so it did not take us long to be¬ come acquainted with our fellow-passengers. Our fears of shipwreck were entirely wiped away in the assurance that so able a staff of seamen had us in their charge. There were naturally a few cases of seasickness, and various ones were tempted to throw up Algebra, Geometry, and other disagreeable dishes and toss some of them overboard in times of rough sea. By the use of field glasses we could see such wide vistas of water ahead that we were led to inquire of the captain the significance of the situation. He explained to us that the voyage of High School Life was in reality to be over four seas, though the four bodies of water were so closely joined together that they seemed but one immense sea. He informed us further that we bad just entered upon the first and smallest of these, which was called Freshman Sea. We sailed over Freshman Sea and received our checks of identification almost before we knew our whereabouts. While at port we lost some passengers, but for what we lost in quantity we were fully repaid in quality, for it was here we were overtaken by a tug-boat from West Augusta, which brought two fair damsels. We watched them closely and found later that they had entered their names upon the ship’s register as Anna Belle Hamilton and Virginia Hamilton. We were accompanied by another passenger who the crew recognized and called “Birdie.” We were the happiest bunch who ever sailed over pleasant waters and quickly passed through Sophomore Sea. Our way seemed cloudy, and fog and wind tossed us to and fro. Seven of our mem¬ bers suffered from the storm at sea, and only one new name was filed, that of Lenwood Masincup. Our stream upon which we had set sail was comparatively narrow, and using our field glasses we could see wide vistas of water ahead and at last we came to the last sea, Senior Sea! What a sea. Five fell overboard, and life savers were not used immediately, so we sailed on. It would take too long to read the complete log of this eventful voyage, but after all, it has but little vital significance except to ourselves, the ten who still remain to land tonight at Commencement Wharf. We have not faced any gale which we were not able to withstand. We have not been wrecked upon the shoals of any threatening task. The billows of examination questions have sometimes tried their worst to overwhelm us, hut none of them have succeeded. Now we look at a longer, more majestic ocean, ahead and feel that our experience has fitted us to withstand every storm, and weather, any opposing force, with no fear of disaster. But not in vain the class of 1928! We will go on writing new logs of greater adven¬ ture and yet more wonderful discoveries, for while the voyage of High School Life is at an end—the voyage of Real Life is just now here at its triumphant commencement. —By Hazel Ralston. Prophecy They had told me 1 must prophesy, But I knew not what to do, For I was not born a prophet, Any more than one of you ; 1 had spent the day in study, And in thinking, hard and deep, So I now, all worn and weary, Lay me down and fell asleep. I had lain there hut a moment In that slumber, calm and sweet, When I rose, refreshed and strengthened, And stepped out upon the street; But I very soon discovered That I was in a strange place, For I saw not one known figure, Nor an old familiar face. I was in a mammoth city, By the side of which I know That New York, the nation’s glory, Would stand but a feeble show; Great skyscrapers all about me; Aeroplanes through all the air; Wonders far beyond conception Here and there and everywhere ! I could scarce believe my senses When I saw the airship line Bore the well-known name of “Churchville,’ While the same gleamed from each sign And my eyes were opened wider Than they’d ever been before, When I saw a slip of paper Dated 1944. While I puzzled o’er this problem, Staring ’round with open eyes, Looking for someone to question Of this marvelous surprise, I beheld near me a lady, Coming on with footsteps slow, And I thought I would accost her And learn what I wished to know. As she came to be still nearer, I thought I had seen that face, Somewhere else, yet could not put it In exactly its right place ; But at last she stood before me, And all wonder vanished quite; ’Twas my old chum, Mary Zigler, And I met her with delight. It was strange that I should know her, For the change in her was great; She was very tall and slender, While she moved with queenly state. She seemed quite surprised to see me, Said I had been long away, And gave me an invitation To remain with her that-day. Her kind offer I accepted, And she hailed a flying car, While we boarded, skimming swiftly Through the ether, fast and far; I watched the conductor closely— ’Twas a lady, short and stout, Fully able to assist the Passengers step in or out. As she took my fare she knew me, And stood pointing out strange sights— Eloise Young thus had proven Her belief in Woman’s Rights! On the car a dude was sitting, Toying with a poodle small,- Why, ’twas Miller Ritcher! I scarcely Would have known the man at all. Soon we flitted past a corner That looked like old times to me, For it was the well-known comer Where our High School used to be! Now the place was changed to show a Factory, twenty stories high ; And I noticed a small fish stand There, as we were passing by. And behind the greasy counter Stood a girl I knew at sight; Yes, for it was Mildred Wandless, Shouting “Fish !” with all her might. I looked out at her in wonder, For whoever would have thought That our old-time brilliant student Could to such a task he brought. But the whole day brought surprises; Nellie was dancing on the stage; Pauline was an opera singer; Pearl a missionary, quite a rage; Working with her might and power; Virginia, an old maid, prim and neat; Hazel had grown so very heavy, Anti-Fat was all she’d eat. Bye and bye we reached the home where Mary lived—her husband, too, But he was a traveling salesman, So I didn’t find out who! 1 was very tired and sleepy, So I felt that it was best To withdraw myself a little For an hour or two of rest. 1 slept long and very soundly, And just judge of my surprise When again, after my slumber, I opened my drowsy eyes, 1 found myself in the cottage I had lived in long ago, Fre I started out that morning On that curious quest to go. I sprang up and sought the window : Yes, it was the same old town, That, in what seemed years ago, 1 had wearily lain down ; But the dream had been so life-like, That e’en yet 1 could not feel That the vision I had witnessed Could be otherwise than real. So you see, dear friends and classmates, That ’twas nothing but a dream I’ve been telling, howe’er natural And real it to you must seem ; But in this old world of wonders, Dreams have often-times come true, So, who knows but this, my vision, May be realized by you ? By Ale at h Young. Senior Play It is the ambition of every Senior Class to “out do” the preceding one in the production of a Senior Play. Watch us do it this year. After a long duration we decided to give one of Samuel French’s Plays entitled “Seventeen,” written by Booth Tarkington. This play carries with it a royalty of twenty-five dollars, but with the best efforts of our coach Miss Fitzhugh and the best work of the cast we shall make this our over whelming success. We are sorry we can’t give the financial results of this, but come and see for yourself. CAST William Sylvanus Baxter. Mr. Baxter. Joe Bullitt . Genesis. Johnnie Watson. George Crooper . Mr. Parcher.

Garnet Vaught—A comfortable chair in the back of the Senior room. Mason Botkin—A desk opposite a certain “interesting classmate.” Lenwood Masincup—A book on how to make the teachers fall for him. Leroy Boward—One dozen boxes of staccomb for his curls and at least one hour a day when he is not surrounded by the “girls.” Virginia Wilson—An up-to-date library for next year. Helen Stuart—To be as successful in the coming years as she has been this year. John Hamilton—Our wishes that he may retain his attractiveness and popu¬ larity in the future. Sterrett Colaw—The entire Senior Class bequeath an athletic record which no other boy in Augusta can excel. To the Sophomore’s we leave our Senior privileges which we never had. To the Freshmen Class we leave any overlooked cuds of gum we may have left adhering to the underside of desks, banisters, assembly seats, or any likely or unlikely places. We have sometimes had to rid ourselves of these in too much haste to be able to pick and choose the most desirable means of disposal. Besides these enforced gifts, we leave—not of necessity, but our own free will—our blessing, tender memories of our pleasant associations together, and our forgiveness for anything that we may not have exactly appreciated in the demon¬ strations of the past, and a pledge of friendship from henceforth and forever. And we do hereby constitute and appoint the said Principal sole executor of this last will and testament. In witness whereof, We the Class of 1928 the testators, have to this our will, written on one sheet of parchment, set our hands and seal this twenty-fifth day of May. One thousand, nine hundred and twenty-eight. By Mildred Wandless. Ualedictoru . RIENDS, parents, teachers, fellow students, and classmates. Our cup of joy tonight is indeed full, but mingled in it are the dregs of sadness. For although this is the night for which we have longed, the time when we shall receive the reward for four years of labor, it is also a time of parting. Now we lay aside our well worn text books which have been dur constant companions during our school life, we shall bid good-bye to our teachers who have faithfully instructed us and our existence as a class will come to an end. All that will be left to us will be the priceless memories of the happy days spent in old C. H. S. and our knowledge which is precious. Now we stand on the threshold of another life. Tonight is not the end, but the beginning of our labors. Tomorrow Ve shall go out into a larger held. Then we shall resume the erection of that great temple called life on the foundation which we have laid during our school life. As we go out from high school to build this structure it is well for us to face this great fact, “Our lives will be only what we make them.” It all rests with us and as Emerson says “Be satisfied with nothing but the best.” Everything in the world has its price and we cannot gain one advancement or advantage unless we are sometime called upon to pay every ounce of its value. Let us therefore sow good seed on the great held of life that we may reap a rich harvest of sound grain. Dear parents, we realize that we owe much to you. We can never repay or express our gratitude to you for the many sacrifices which you have made that we might be able to take advantage of our opportunities. But what you have done for us will be written on our memories in letters of love which shall never fade. Members of the faculty, as we pause in bidding you good-bye, there comes before our mental eye a picture, a picture of how truly you have steered the course of our little ship until now she has come to rest in the harbor of graduation. We now realize as never before, the value of your work in enstilling in our minds some of your noble principles and lofty ideas. We are grateful not only for your helping us to master the course of study but also for your interest in our personal welfare and even more, for the Christirn example you have lived before us. We can never pay our debt of gratitude to you. But we trust that your work has not been in vain but will bear fruit in our lives. Classmates we have come to the parting of the ways. We have left the harbor and the mighty ocean lies before us. Let us resolve to keep our characters stain¬ less, our ideals lofty, and unsullied, and to he true to the great principles of Christianity. Let us determine that the trust of our friends, the labor of our teachers, and the prayers of our parents shall not have been in vain and that we shall become worthy citizens of this great republic. Go and toil in any vineyard, Do not fear to do or dare, 1 f you want a field of labor You can find it anywhere. Classmates and friends what can I say to express the emotion of our hearts at this time. Only farewell. —Miller Ritchie. Junior Organization Elizabeth Young OFFICERS President Sterrett Colaw .

If you don’t believe this, just look above at our picture. Seven remained in the Freshman Class, but we pushed forward with zeal. Watch us and we shall be first in literary events, scholastic activities, and mavbe athletic affairs. Sophomores Thirteen pupils, all shining and gay, Stepped up to the Sophomore Class one day; “We liked being Freshmen, very well,” they said; “Though we like the name Sophomore better instead.” They had studied ha rd in their Freshman year, With many a sigh, and many a tear; But when they arose to the Sophomore Class, They didn’t study so hard, alas ! But then they started studying, Determined to win by struggling, For when the class ended in 1928 They found that they had not been too late. —Written by Pauline Wagner. e Siyxx Oh. tuent a hs Ai i fc catcK a Lt hale Freshman Organization Ray Carroll.

Other schools heard of our adequate course and sent us nine more members. These came from May brook, McDowell, Crab- bottom, Valley Mills, Beverley Manor, and West Augusta. We are sorry to say that a large number of our class has dropped out, but even now if we receive the proper password, “Promoted,” we shall make a large Senior Class in 1931, and one of which C. H. S. will be justly proud. Sr f£ CWM Mkl irfoL) V Freshmen The Seniors have already reached the goal, But the Freshmen have a long way to stroll. Friends, this battle has not been won, And our lives are just begun. Let us fight this long battle through, In the great strength of the right and the true. For all the joys we have shared together here, And every hope and smile this passing year. Classmates, we have not gained our purpose yet, And our lives are filled with pride. But the Freshmen need not to fret Because they are waiting along the tide. When we keep a pure and youthful heart, We find in success to choose the better part. So shines the flag of C. H. S., gleaming very bright The emblems of her glorious colors, “Standing for the right.” When High School days are o’er at last And all have gone far and wide, Our lives then, are passing fast, And others are longing for joy and pride. To C. H. S. we will cling Until the battle has been won, And until we’ve found good in everything, Beneath the greatness of the sun. The love that binds our hearts in one, No power on earth shall break, The Freshmen of C. FI. S. will have their fun, And friendship they will make. -—By Ruby Hamilton. 7 W %m tU Time rolls on, O !

Young Elizabeth Young Churchuille “Inuaders Despite the fact that we lost several of our best players last year, and that many of us were young in the game we showed that “Where there’s a will there’s a way.” We proved this to our school by being able to spell “V-i-c-t-o-r-y” in four of our nine games. During all our games the team should be complimented upon their hearty cooperation and splendid sportsmanship throughout the season both at home and abroad. May they continue the good work. COACH All members of the student body have learned to know, Miss Pitman the girls basketball coach as a promoter of clean athletics, and encourager of the fighting spirit, that enables a team to come to the front. We feel that it was be¬ cause of her great ability and good principle that our team was able to win. No one can appreciate her good work for athletics more than we, the members of the teams and of the student body as a whole. ball. CENTER Nellie Howard so tall and slim, certainly plays center with a vim. SIDE CENTER Though “red headed” Pauline is not very tall, She is there right back of the GUARD Nina Carroll, our right guard, Ready to play and play it hard. GUARD Lillian Campbell our guard so fast, She is always there to the last. FORWARD Allie Jordan, our forward is always there, To throw the ball to the goal in the air. FORWARD Plazel Ralston slips in from the side, Slipping under the guard, and hardly to be spied. SUBSTITUTE Ethel Allen always plays well, Hardly ever misses a goal that we can tell. OTHER SUBSTITUTES Next year the substitutes, Jennie Ralston, Helen Stuart, Martha Carr Jones, and Lila Jordan will not come a miss of giving to us as good a team or better than we now have.

Basketball quint was made up of entirely new material with the exception of Allen forward. How¬ ever it made a good record for the year winning live out of eleven games played. Hamilton did stellar work as forward, having the ability to dribble up and shoot, and being a dead shot goal. Allen, our standing forward, played swift and fast, and was good in making long shots. Colaw, running guard, was the fastest man on the team never allow¬ ing a man to go by, and was also a good shot. Vaught, standing guard, could be always depended on to stop his opponent, and was always at the right place, at the right time. Ritchie, our lanky center always got the tip off to start the game right. He was a quick player on the defensive, having the ability to dribble up and shoot under goal. Anderson, as substitute for either forward was a fast dribbler and a star in making long shots. We are expecting good work from him next year. Boward substitute for either guard always played a good game and showed great ability. We are proud that it can be truly said of our team that they were good sports both in victory and defeat. Not as a team boaster but as a boaster of clean athletics we can say of the team that it was fair in all it undertook and undertook only that which was fair. Coach Rolston strove hard for good results and under his training we developed into “five pointers.” We promise him four better men for next year and a team that will “bring home the bacon.” boys ' basketball Squad Mr. Rolston .

S. baseball team gives promise of a very successful year. Howard and Colaw, who play as either short-stop or pitcher are doing splendid work. Ritchie is playing Ids old position at first, as is Allen in cen- and Hamilton at third base. Hamilton is also doing fine work as reserve pitcher. Botkin left-field and Masincup right-field, although they are new men, arc doing good work. Vaught, in lffs new position at second base, is making a fast infielder. Anderson behind the bat, a new man both on the team and in the school, is a real addition to the “Braves.” He knows how to play his position and plays it well. Our substitutes, Diamond and Cook, are doing good work, and promise much for next year. With plenty of practice our team will be working smoothly and the “Braves” will make a splendid record. ter-field The following are the games played up to April 20th, and the scores: C. H. S. 6 C. H.

I have been boarding at Churchville and have made many friends. It is - the desire of every girl to have a sweetheart and to keep him. Hut you know, Miss Molly, girls like to take them away from others, even if they don’t want them themselves. Now, this friend of mine is a baseball player. Do you think 1 should ask my father to give him a job in Millboro so I can see him often and at the same time he can play league baseball? Miss Molly, T must know something soon, for suspense is dreadful. -—-“Baseball Fan.” M iss Molly: I am a little boy with a freckled face. Lots of girls don’t like freckles, and 1 know if I try to take them off my skin will become tender and I will get more. Shall I take these off or look for another girl? —“Freckles” Colaw. Miss Molly: I love so many girls. Do you think it better to find one who you like and settle your affections on her, or to keep going with the crowd. My classmates try to guy me about my huge selection and, Miss Molly, this worries me. Girl lover, John Armstrong.

DEAR LITTLE THINGS Helen’s and Marie’s shrieks from the yard attracted their Mother’s attention. Running out she asked them what they were doing. “We’re playing fire,” cried Marie. “Fine! And how do you play that?” “Oh, it’s heaps of fun ! Helen makes believe she’s a door and I knock her down.” SMILE Smile, and the world smiles with you ; Laugh, and the world will roar. Howl, and the world will leave you, And never come back any more. For all of us couldn’t have been handsome, Nor all of us wear fine clothes; But a smile is not expensive, And covers a world of woes. WELL KNOWN “Do you know Mah Jongg?” “Yes. He washes my shirts.” “Did you give your penny to the Sunday School, Glenn?” asked Mrs. Ashby. “No, I lost it.” “What! Lost another one? That makes three Sundays straight you’ve lost your penny.” “Yes, but if I keep it up I’ll win ’em back. Marshall’s luck can’t last forever.” Edith : “You know my mind is full of painting.” Richard: “Yes, I see it breaking out on your face.” She : “Would you put yourself out for me ?” He: “I certainly would?” She: “Well please leave. It is now after 12 o’clock.” LeRoy: “Where did you get that joke.” Mary: “It just ran across my mind.” LeRoy: “Well you had better elevate the crossing.” Lussy Old Lady: “I want two good seats for this afternoon in the coolest part of the house.” Ticket Seller: “All right madam here are two in Z row.” Lrank Smith: “When she wasn’t looking I kissed her.” Treva: “What did she do?” Lrank Smith: “She didn’t look at me the rest of the evening.” Mr. Rolston: “You blankety, blank, blank, blank, blank.” Lenwood: “Atta boy, that’s giving him a piece of your mind.” She was as white and pure as snow and then she drifted. Lather: “You’ll ruin your stomach, my son, drinking that stuff.” Son: “That’s all right papa it won’t show with my coat on.” ij- I had a i hwc.k n one Q 1 could Jell lixtic Ujould cri a to sell dll o H (dll d oo ds to sell . 5 ' mm s s s CHURCHVILLE GARAGE STANDARD GAS and OIL FIRESTONE TIRES ACCESSORIES and REPAIRS Phone 12-F-2 Churchville :: :: :: :: Virginia ziQtstotoioivtotQiSiviS mmm ?A?A®A?A®A®A®A®A?A®A®A A?A9A$A A®t® ?
