Her school life has been a happy one and altho we do not know her future plan, we are sure it will be a success. VIRGINIA BOSTON Here we have one of our most attractive maidens. Virginia possesses a great amount of ability and the only thing we put past her is getting to school on time. EVA CAMPBELL Tubby” is a living protest against the uselessness of study- ing, but she carries numerous books under her arm, while go- ing to class, thereby absorbing sufficient knowledge to get thru. LANDON CAUTHORN ELIZABETH DAWSON BEULAH DEEDS With her improved methods of flirting we shall never cease to wonder how we have managed to keep “Slim” with us. She is a very essential part of our school life. Elizabeth never worships at the shrine of convention. She has the most charming smile imagin- able and uses it to great ad- vantage — however we will let the subject speak for itself. Beulah is one of our steadfast, straightforward girls, who when you look in her calm blue eyes you get the impression that she is shy. But we know her to be full of rollicking fun. LOUISE DEEDS Louise IS one of the Selma Five. She IS a jolly good girl and is always ready for a joke, also a very present help in time of trouble. We predict a bright future for Louise and are sure she will be a happy Maydian.” ELIZABETH DRISCOLL Elizabeth is the artist of our class, she is the art-editor of this volume. “Babe” is always ready to go to Lexington which proves that she has interests other- wise than art. LILLIAN DOWNER Whatever may strike the Seniors you c nnot jar Lillian. She is a quiet, serene girl who seems to enjoy her studies. Lil- lian has not told us her plans for the future, but present indications point to matrimony. FLORA FARRAR Flora’s motto is: “Better late than never.” She has been to chapel at least three times this term, incidentally they were the times that “Billie Buick happen- ed to be in the garage for re- pairs and she had to walk. Flora has “hitched her wagon to a star ” and we are expecting brilliant achievements as an as- ELIZABETH FLEMING If you did not know Betty out of school, you would think her a perfect student. She is right there when it comes to good times and class sports. Her hobby is cats and eating in school. Elizabeth wants to give to others that knowledge which she has gained for herself. VIRGINIA FONTAINE Here is Virginia the girl who utilizes nature ' s own without powder or paint. This fascinat- ing creature expects to be a for- eign correspondent. We have an idea that it is for the purpose of ensnaring some emotional Frenchman so we picture a cot- tage among the apple blossoms in Normandy. tronomer. IRVINE GLEASON Ever preferring a seat among the conservatives Irvine demon- strates to his classmates that it pays to sit back and take notice. Without taking us into his con- fidence y e think he has made great plans for the future. GLADYS GOLLIDAY Gladys, a quiet brown-eyed lass Never bothers the rest of her class. She never cuts classes and is al- ways there, But when it comes to boys — her mind is in air. ALVA HARRIS Alva has a quiet manner that all respect and is still jolly and bright. You have but to search the records of this school to find that she is a diligent student, and — she works for knowledge, not notoriety. ORA HAYNES Her sweet disposition and ac- commodating spirit are the sources of her popularity. She doesn’t say much but evidently thinks a lot. Ora is a real genius in Vergil and her greatest ambition is to become an ideal teacher. FRANK HAYNES The offices and responsibilities which have been heaped upon “Frankie” testify to his popular- ity. H e is a whole lot lazy, but can work, and when he decides the time has come — sparks fly. FRANCES HUMPHREYS Here ' s to Frances, a talented favorite of our class. Her move- ments are always mysterious and she adores memorizing poetry. She is extremely fond of saying unusual things and is a living ex- ample of fun. MABEL HUNT If she is absent a day we are always in terror of missing our lessons. You see Mabel is al- ways ready to help those less for- tunate than herself. “Dido ” is especially brilliant in Latin. She IS very quiet except when seized with a desire to tease Felton. THORNE JOHNSON As a student Thorne has an excellent mind, altho he relies upon it chiefly to extricate him- self from various scrapes. He is exceedingly active in athletics and we also wish to say that with the ladies he is simply irresistable. MARY LANE Mary Kat, unlike most of the Senior girls is always quiet and studious. She is very sweet and awfully wise. Of course she will make a successful nurse. ISRAEL LAVIN Absolutely! Israel possesses the most bewildering knowledge of chemistry. We wish him the greatest success in all his future ventures and if he tackles them with as much vigor as he talks, we feel sure that we shall some day hear of “Izzy” doing chemi- cal stunts on the field of fame. ANNIE LINKENHOKER Annie is one of our most charming students and also one of the many musicians in our class. She has a lovable dis- position and is ever ready to aid her classmates. She says she is going to be a music teacher but we think she will miss her calling if she doesn’t start keeping house. MOYER MAHANEY “Gen. is our very efficient treasurer. He is a rare combi- nation of vitality and studious- ness. He has not told us his fu- ture desire but we believe because of his fondness for the city, that he will make Richmond his home. HASSELTINE McMULLAN Hasseltine is the fortunate pos- sessor of the most enchanting dimples you ever saw. She is really energetic and has our very best wishes for happiness and success. EDITH MICHIE Mickie, the quietest girl in our class. She seldom has any- thing to say, but when she does it is worth while. She has wist- ful brown eyes that sparkle like everything when she smiles — now if you don ' t believe it ask Jim- mie. PEARL MILLER Pearl ' s supreme neatness is the envy of us all. She has a quiet manner and dignity characterizes her every movement. It is un- necessary to tell of her aspira- tions for we think she has fallen heir to a “Fortune.” ELIOT MORRISEY Eliot Thankful is the one little (?) girl in our class who always manages to “get by when she is late. Her middle name is the way she feels about being one of the celebrated class of ' 21. We are also thankful that we have such a good sport to share our good times. SUNSHINE McDaniel Sunshine is, of course, the light of our class and brightens many a dull Latin period by her brilliant arguments with Miss Johnson. Altho she is very fond of out-door sports, many think that her greatest pleasure lies in attending musical comedies with young bachelors. LYLE RADER Lyle is one of the most popular boys in our class and when it comes to studies he is very capable. His having acquired sufficient units to graduate in three and one-half years is proof of this. “Turk” cem do anything from rollin’ bones to making candy. EDITH SAMPSON Edith is one of the youngest girls in our class and of all her many good qualities sympathy stands foremost. She wants to become a nurse and we are sure she will make a very desirable one. McKENDREE SCRUGGS McKendree has a very win- ning disposition and is probably the most capable boy in our class. He never hesitates to tell us precisely what he thinks. Yes we all like “Mac and wish him the best of luck in life. NONA SENTZ This animated bundle of vary- ing moods has such a captivating manner that she is a favorite with the entire class, and C. F. H. S. is not the only sphere of her activity along that line. What this interesting Senior intends to do when she gets her diploma, no one knows. MARGARET SIMPSON Margaret so improves her brains. That she convolutions gains. Inside out her brains are twirly. As outside in her hair is curly. FELTON SHORES Felton is not gifted with ora- tory. but still waters run deep and out of school he is a regular pal. Elis one peculiarity is that he doesn’t fall for the girls. We prophesy a brilliant career at college, especially in math. DOROTHY WARD Dorothy — laughing and gay, loving and bright, even tho she is not much bigger than a minute. Her chief occupations are eating and reading both day and night. LELA WHITE Lela is the baby of our class and a very remarkable one too. She is usually busy but always has time for a smile. We are expecting brilliant things of her in the future. MARGARET WALKER “Margie” has a personality all her own. She is forever planning trips, her latest was Scotland but we think it has been overcome by her efforts to invent new methods of displaying her affec- tion for Front Royal. BERYL WALKER “Bassie” is our athlete and literary genius. She has the sweetest smile ever and is a regu- lar living Diana. Beryl finds it hard to decide between play- ground work and forestry but it is our belief that she will be climbing trees this time next year. JANICE WILKERSON Janice is one of our brunettes and a splendid student. One remarkable characteristic is that she IS always on time (?). If there is any fun going on she is right there. Janice is especially fond of English and math, and is one of our future teachers. As such we all know she will reach her goal. 20 Cl)e Ilegljanian Senior Class History T his class of 21 has a memorable history, a history that not one of its members will ever forget. I must confess that most of us were a little sad and sorrowful when we entered M iss Tulloh’s room on that bright September day in 1910. Sad because we had given up all pleasures such as rolling hoops, jumping rope and playing marbles, but never were any children so sadly mistaken, for from that very first day we were taught all sorts of nice games to play in school. Who will ever forget “Ring- ing the Bell”? We passed through all the primary grades successfully and when we reached the grammar grades we really didn’t see any use in going to school any longer, but when it was discovered by Miss Leech that we didn’t know how many pints there were in a quart we changed our minds and decided to go on a few years longer. We will always remember September 11, 1916, because it was on that day that we entered High School, and I must say here that we were not a bit timid but rather bold. Those who were fortunate enough to have Mrs. Quinn knew what it meant when the bell rang every forty minutes, but the others must have thought it was a fire alarm from the scared expressions on their faces. It was during our Freshman year that the whole High School was moved to the court-house for two weeks while the school furnace was being repaired. Those two weeks were among the happiest of our whole Freshman year, because we did not have a single written lesson during that time. It was during this term also that Miss Killian came and organized the basket-ball team, after which many enjoyable afternoons were spent in pursuing this sport. Our Sophomore year was uneventful except for one thing; Frances Butler, from Staunton, “gigglingly” entered our class. Our Junior year was probably the happiest term of all. Besides being shown the “beauty in geometry,” we also found beauty in home-runs, curves and slides. This was the last year that Miss Bigham was wnth us, she had been with us all the way through High School, and we were awfully sorry when she left. Naturally the most eventful year of our High School life was our Senior year. The High School was moved down to the Moody building at the beginning Cfje ailegfjanian 21 of the term, as there was not enough room to accommodate all the pupils at the former High School building. Although we all hated to leave our dear old R. E. Lee School, it seemed mighty good to be down in the same old building we were in when we went through all the primary and grammar grades together. Our class was organized during the first part of the term and the class rings, pennants and invitations ordered. On Hallowe’en the Seniors gave a party in the basement room of the Moody Annex. It was a success and enjoyed by all. In the middle of November the Seniors gave a Musical Pageant for the benefit of the Annual Fund, and it was such a success that we were tempted to give up our High School career and join some theatrical company. After the mid-year exams the Junior Class gave us a delightful reception, it was one of the most enjoyable events of the Senior year. The Senior Hop, on February 14th, was the last social event of the year, and by all means will give us pleasant memories of our Senior days, it will be one of the things we will wish we could do all over again. And so at last we come to the end of High School — all the trials and dis- appointments are over, all the sorrows, pleasures and opportunities or High School are now gone forever. And so let us pledge our everlasting loyalty to our dear old High School, and in the years to come let us remember our old school days and their many joys. Eva Campbell, Historian. 22 Cfte Ilegbanian Class Prophecy ’21 J UST TEN years ago tonight our class graduated, and to me falls the task of peering into the unknown and prophesying their future. This is a dreadful responsibility and one I try to shirk, nor will I consent until every one agrees that on the night of June 1, 1931, they will all meet here in the club rooms and relate their fortunes and misfortunes. Then if my prophecies have come true I will consent to read their remaining years with less trepidation than I do the first ten. I am the first to arrive (a most unusual occurrence) and am seated in a comfortable chair facing the main entrance; my attention divided between reading a magazine, and wondering just how many of that class of forty would come. Just as I get interested in an article entitled “The man who put Clifton Forge on the map,” and discover that the illustrious gentleman is no other than our classmate, Irvine Gleason, and was written by his ardent admirer, Gladys Golliday (now a great literary woman) I am interrupted by a great chattering at the entrance. I glance up just in time to see Mabel Hunt, Meyer Mahaney, Alva Harris Betty Fleming and Mary Fane, Edith Michie, Fouise Deeds, Edith Sampson and Beulah Deeds. You see, I am glad to see them, because I have read three pages and haven’t found out yet what Irvine has done. After fifteen minutes of greetings and remarks made by all and heard by no one, the conversation is carried on by Edith Michie, the survival of the fittest. (You know Edith always could out-talk every one else.) She tells us mostly about the others, that: Mabel has just returned from China, where she has been doing active missionary work, and that she is now thinking of trying her hand in home missions. Alva is spending all her time now in arranging color schemes for fancy windows. (You know Alva always was fond of pretty Panes.) She also tells us that Betty is posing as “The woman who never had a brain,” in a side show of the same circus that Moyer Mahaney is training monkeys, (of course, Betty really has a brain, and this is only one of those circus fakes, nevertheless, Betty and Moyer say they feel right at home in their work). That: Mary Lane is a graduate nurse (its no wonder that all of the young men are getting sick, now), and Beulah Deeds is teaching Civics at Farmville, (we always expected something like this of Beulah, as she was the brightest Civics pupil in Mr. Crockett’s class.) Edith also tells us that Louise Deeds is writing novels; her best is “The Sweetest Maiden,” and that Edith Sampson is (as I Cfte 3IIegi)anian 23 heard before) editing the Daily Review. We all know this is a very good paper, and with Edith holding this position the subscribers will increase rapidly. Edith tells all about the others, but leaves it for them to tell that she is now a chorus girl in the Ziegfield Follies and has fallen for the irresistible charms of Felton Shores (the most bashful boy in our class). But I understand that now he is a regular “He-Vamp” and that Edith is just one of his many victims. Here we were inter- rupted by the majority of the class entering. Again confusion ran high, but things finally quieted down enough for us to learn that: Margaret Simpson and Hasseltine McMullan have gone into partnership in a beauty parlor where Marga- ret demonstrates the use of her “hair-wave” and Hasseltine proves the efficiency of her newly patented “dimple developer,” after thoroughly testing in their High School days the worth of these two factors of beauty; these two young ladies have become quite popular among the great class of “beauty-seekers.” Also that Elizabeth Driscoll’s latest art production, “Forever Eating,” posed by Janice Wilkerson, established her fame both in this country and in Europe. The young model, too, is climbing high on the ladder of success. That: Virginia Fontaine has a monopoly on the jitney business, and that Elizabeth Dawson has been recom- mended as a very economical and satisfactory dress designer. We could vouch for this after one look at the dainty little frock she wore. Lyle Rader, who has won for himself a great name in the movie world, tells us that Dorothy Ward showed her surgical ability when she successfully operater on Landon Cauthorn, who, when at the height of her stage career in “Doc’s Flittering Butterfly” fell from the stage and fractured her skull. Landon don’t show much sign of the accident. Just then the telephone rings, and upon answering it I found that Lillian Downer has called to tell us how sorry she and Annie are that they couldn’t be with us that night, but they have made dates with their husbands and just can’t possibly get away. The conversation is resumed and we learn that Israel Lavin is using all his knowledge of chemistry, in discovering a powder that will stick on the girls faces. Poor Izzy, he saw so many vanity cases in the Senior Class that he thinks all women’s beauty is in Jonteel compact powder. Frances Butler, who has just been elected for Congress from the Tenth District, tells us the Virginia Boston is writing for the movies. Her latest “The Dancing Mocking Bird,” which is a story of an incessant whistler, has just been released. Sunshine McDaniel and Lelia White speak for themselves and inform us that they have established a school for suffragettes where they train young women for becoming active citizens and office holders. Frank Haynes (our class presi- 24 Cl)e ailegijanian dent) now a civil engineer having just returned from New York, informs us that Ora Haynes has just been admitted to the bar; we never thought this of Ora, but you never can tell. I had almost forgotten about Irvine until one of the girls mentions being thirsty, and Frances Butler tells about Irvine installing a new water fountain on Main Street, with individual drinking cups for each of the horses or whoever drank from it. At last, I know what he has done. Frances also tells us that McKendree is now a great Evangelist, and those who have heard him say he is a second Billy Sunday. (We always thought something like this of McKendree, judging from his speaking ability in school.) Pearl Miller, who has become famous through her essay on “misfortunes,” tells us that Thorne is now a pharmacist, which business he operates in connection with his undertaking establishment. Others tell us that the former business renders possible a great profit in the latter. Just as I expected, the last to arrive are: Nona, Eva, Beryl and Margaret Walker, Eliot and Flora. As usual they have a most excellent excuse — about the same old thing, however. It takes these late comers a rather long time to get settled, as every one has to tel! all over again what has happened to him or her since graduation. And great is the surprise of ail when we learn that Nona has entered St. Mary’s Convent, near Baltimore. You never thought this of Nona, did you? However, none of us are surprised when we learn that Eva has opened a charming little tea room in Washington. Maybe, now Eva will get enough of something to eat! Just then Eliot produces and passes around some of her cookie specialties, and we are told that at last she has realized her ambition. She is a Baker in Norfolk where Flora tells us she surpasses all the native com- petitors in baking fancy pies and doughnuts. We learn that the Walker sisters have established a correspondence school and guarantee in four lessons to teach the country girls their long mastered art of “vamping,” also that Flora is teaching astronomy at Columbia. You remember, Flora always belonged to that class of girls that loved to count the stars and look at the moon. Needless to say I refuse to prophesy further as to their futures, for while some of my prophecies are fulfilled, who would ever expect Felton Shores to fall in love with a mere girl? So we all take leave of each other resolving to meet again in the future and renew our friendships. Frances Humphreys, Prophet . Cfje ailegftanian 25 Class Poem Here ' s to the class of ’ 21 .

At first I it was hard to get used to the bell ringing every forty minutes and having a new teacher for each subject, but before long we had adapted ourselves to these conditions and enjoyed them thoroughly. We had lots of class spirit and showed it by giving the graduating class a party, which was considered quite a stunt for the Freshmen. When we became Sophomores our ALLEGHANY BUNCH newly acquired superiority led us to appoint a day on which all the newly entering Freshmen were to wear their hair in pigtails. The day came and with it no pigtails. Some of us tried to force the Freshmen into this style of hair dressing, but as a result many of us were compelled to go home in worse condition than we came. The latter part of our Sophomore year was very enjoyable, several baseball teams com- posed of girls only, were formed and recess was taken up with this sport. When we became Juniors the HTh School was changed from the Lee to the Moody building. At first we did net like it at all, but gradually we came to be quite satisfied, but we shall never forget the two delightful years spent at the Lee building under the guidance of Miss Bigham, our Superintendent. In the first part of the Junior year we had quite a time passing our first exams., but most of us survived and have stayed together. Although several of our classmates have married and others have left us, the rest of us look forward with great pleasure to our Senior year, and hope that we shall all graduate and be a credit to our school and towm.

What a miracle it was that the building held together under the steady tramp of those noisy feet! What a mira- cle it was that the teacher wasn’t as fussy as an old settin’ hen. But after all, they were only children, just kids in the great school of life, and so teacher and super- intended were unusually kind to these beginners. Presently, as new members came and the class grew larger and larger and the nerves of the teacher suffered more and more, it became necessary to divide the class into two large sections, one and two, and give them separate rooms and teachers. One by one the years have flown and now and then some of our class-mates have dropped behind, and so at last, we have come to the class of Sophomores. We are “wise fools.” We have met our pons asinorum and some have failed to cross it, but most of us are pushing on to the goal. Louise Hyde, Historian. msHm.

It has not been more than seven years since our time was consumed in cutting paper dolls and chewing the business end of a pencil, happy in our ignorance of all laws of health and sanitation. But now, having reached the age of dis- cretion and being counted full-fledged Freshmen, we have laid aside such trifling joys and pleasures and taken up new ones, such as changing and rechanging, adding and subtracting letters from the tail end of a Latin word, and struggling to convince ourselves that zero has a greater value than A. While our young lives are being crowded with such serious problems, we wonder how the Senior still looks young but we suppose that somewhere in the classes ahead of us, they teach philosophy, the first chapter, which is of course de- voted to the doctrine of illumination. We sincerely hope that they will not have lost the illuminator. We trust as we go up the grade of high-school life that the successful years of our past school life will be added to those of the future and that I shall close our class history, proud of our career and when we have reached the time of graduation we hope to see all the familiar faces of today, then with us.

She did not weep. It was no time for foolish tears, but she came to a point when it seemed she could resist nature no longer. She raised her voice in a long and mournful wail, which was taken up by friends in the house and yard. : Then suddenly she stopped. What was the use of it all? She would lay another egg tomorrow.

The play was original and those taking part in it deserve a great deal of credit for making it the enjoyable entertainment that it was. The Glee Club ought to be very proud of having such talented members as Herman Gorman and Frances Humphreys, who seemed to feel right at home, also the newly weds, who have the best wishes for a long and happy married life. The Musical Pageant T he musical pageant, given by the Senior Class of the Clifton Forge High School, November 19, in the Masonic Theatre, afforded those who were fortunate enough to be present, an evening of real entertainment. The Senior Class and High School Orchestra won many compliments on this occa- sion, the former for getting up the play and the latter for the music furnished. Eighteen songs were presented. The play was given before the largest audiences that has ever been present at the Masonic Theatre. 58 Cbe 3IIegbanian Senior Superlatives Most bashful hoy Felton Shores Quiestest girl Edith Michie Loudest talker MoYER MaHANEY Fastest talker • Eva CAMPBELL Longest talker Frank FIaynes Best chemist ISRAEL LaVIN Most original • Beryl Walker Snappiest Nona Sentz Most awful heart-breaker • Landon Cauthorn Most athletic Thorne JOHNSON Best dancers Margaret Walker, McKendree Scruggs Prettiest dimples HasseLTINE McMuLLEN Biggest giggler FRANCES BUTLER Snappiest poet MARGARET WaLKER Prettiest hair MARGARET SiMPSON Neatest PearL Miller Best latin student MabEL Hunt Wittiest Frances Humphries Most popular Frank Haynes Cf)e Uegftanian 59 Social Events “THE SENIOR HOP” Youth and beauty graced the Elks Hall on Valentine’s night, when the Seniors gave their dance. Those present were the members of the class, their invited guests, the chape- rons and a few members of the faculty. There were about thirty couples dancing, the music being furnished by the Masonic Orchestra. Punch and sandwiches were served throughout the evening in the club rooms. About one-thirty the gay crowd began to disperse, having spent one of the most enjoyable evenings of their High School History. “JUNIOR RECEPTION” On Friday evening, January 24th, the Juniors gave a reception in honor of the Senior Class in the gymnasium of the new building. The reception was more than a success considering the fact that examinations were over and everyone felt free to enjoy themselves. A very pleasing program was performed by the Junior Class and very well executed. Several “stunts” were given by the faculty and the Juniors and Seniors, as well as a good musical program by the High School Orchestra. Games were played, refreshments served and all went home feeling that a very pleasant evening had been spent, one that would be remembered in the history of the High School. “HALLOWE’EN PARTY” Every one enjoys a spookey Hallowe’en party and spooky is just the word to describe the party given by the Seniors in the Gymnasium on the last night of October. The room was artistically decorated with pumpkins, shocks of fodder, cats, witches and autumn leaves. In the dim light the masked guests enjoyed music, told stories and played games. The spookiest part of the program was when all the spooks sat on the floor on the identical spot, where one of their companions had been murdered and received in their hands the lifeless eyes, the silent tongue and the cold clammy hands of their companion. But even spooks can eat at a Hallowe’en party, and drink, too — but enough! the less said about some things, especially cider, the better. 60 Ctie 3llegl)anian 1920 Sept. 9th.

The Citizens of T omorroTv Are the Graduates of Today — I owe to the Clifton Forge National Bank the greatest grati- tude for its able assistance to me in the completion of my educa- tional course,” is what a young man recently wrote us after graduating from one of the State’s Universities and taking up a business career. This is only one of the cases where we have lent financial aid to ambitious young men and women, who, after graduating from High School, were unable to carry out their plans for a professional or technical training. It has always been our policy to encourage the young people of the community to form a banking connection. Here they find helpful advice and genuine co-operation. i The Clifton Forge National Bank Established 1905 Capital $ 100,000.00 Surplus and Profits 48,000.00 Total Resources over 1,600,000.00 Officers J.
