PARKER C. BLACK, Principal . . . Our principal is the one we worft forget. He got the blame for everything from the rain which ruined the floats in the Homecoming parade, to the snow that fell on the first day of Spring. We all know he did so many things that deserved praise, for instance, he brought more intere.sting assemblies and programs this year than eve! before. We all liked Mrs. Velma Waters, the secretary, because she really was a likeable and cheerful person. CLENDENIN MOTOR SALES Clendenin, VV. Va.

nd K I will never forget my teachers at old Clay High School. How we stood back in awe when we were frosh , but how human we found them to be by the time we were seniors. . . . Could we ever forget how Mr. Smith guarded the halls. We couldn't stick our heads out after the warning bell rang . . . Those jokes and tall tales of his put spice in world geography and World history classes . . . Miss Virginia Taylor had a pretty smile. She was such a friendly person to everyone. No one ever saw her lose her temper in typing or shorthand classes . . . Mr. Edward Harris was an all right guy too. He had a sense of humor but he was strickly business in biology class and student council meetings. He brought movies and even showed those things at noon . . . Mrs. Flora S. Eakle, chorus teacher was well dressed and to quote an excerpt from the Tattler, Her students rank her tops in patience, kindness and understanding. She taught world geography, too . . . Mr. R. L. Taubert was always trying to help the students out, not only his vo-ag boys, but everyone. He was cheerful, friendly, and an all round good sport. He would go all out for a good cause . . . and, Mrs. Alta Bobbitt-we'll remember her for her habit of saying You people . She really knew her subject matter-algebra, Latin, and geometry, An all around good teacher.
