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.

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.

For a teacher who puts zip in her classes, Mrs. Jane Harris of course. She gave stiff assignments in English, and speech but she would give us a second chance. She had a laugh which was strictly her own . . . Mr. Mitchell Lykins-remember how he would always say at the end of study hall, Put those maga- zines back where you got them . He coached the vo-ag basketball team-If there were good eats to be ser- ved, Mrs. Boggess fixed them-for teas, luncheons, parties-ummm! And those frames on her glasses- pretty! She was one of our home economics teachers and sponsor of F.H.A . . . Mrs. Ezelle Ramsey could be characterized by one word-sincerity-She was a teacher who respected her students' opinions .bind they loved her for it. We had shorthand and typing to her . . . Mr, Jake Reed could paddle the boys and they liked it because he never refused to help one of them when they were on a spot. He had a sense of humor, too. He proved that in math classes . . . Miss Phyllis Hertel was all for the kids-Sponsored games at noon, made D-Masters a good club-a swell physical education teacher, too.
