LIBRARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA GIFT OF DIVISION OF EXTENSION ' Cli? ALLEGHANIAN PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS CLIFTON FORGE HIGH SCHOOL CLIFTON FORGE, VIRGINIA M C M X X X V SE U) 1 501 Virginians U� to092 Foreword As tile beautiful mountains surrounding our school are symbolic of our explorations in the branches of the tree of knowledge, we have made the Mountains the theme of the 1935 Alleghanian. Our GUIDES, the teachers, have led us wisely and carefully over the rough and rocky pathways. Our BY-PATHS, the extra-curricular activities, have given us diversion and many pleasant hours brows¬ ing in the fields of comradeship. Our MOUNTAINEERS, the athletes, have over¬ come the greatest obstacles and have attained the highest peaks in every major sport. As CLIMBERS, we have enjoyed our journey - of the past four years. Now, as we are passing over the last slopes of our final ascent, we pause to record the events of our journey. May our Mountains serve as an inspiration to the CLIMBERS who succeed us. May their lofty peaks always symbolize worthy tasks which might be done for the glory of our Alma Mater. .J The Guides THE 19 3 5 ALLEGHAN IAN Faculty H. Blankinship, Superintendent V. J.

Before the war, this cabin was used for housing slaves. This was only a one- room structure and as the population increased a three-room structure was built. In 1896, an eight-room school building was built. This was a splendid building, steam heated and modern in every respect. This soon became inade¬ quate and it was necessary to rent rooms in near-by buildings to accommodate the children. In 1907, the town having become a city, added $20,000 in im¬ provements to this building. This doubled its capacity and gave to Clifton Forge the Moody building. In 1911, the Robert E. Lee Building was erected for high school students. As this became too small, in 1920 the Moody Building was used for high school students, and the Moody-Annex Building was built for graded children. The most wonderful building of all is our present High School Building, built in 1928. This building with its modern equipment and conveniences is the pride of all high school students. Our auditorium is an outstanding asset. The seating capacity of it is 1500. Our cafeteria permits students to have a delicious fresh lunch at little expense. The Home Economics and Commercial departments are, other features of our school. So ends my brief history of the schools of Clifton Forge and I shall now relate some facts concerning the Class of ’35. We began our High School career in the fall of 1931. Our Freshman and Sophomore years passed un¬ eventfully. Studying was the only occupation we knew. In September 1933 we woke up to the fact that we were Juniors. We selected a motto, a flower, and class colors. Our Junior pins signified our standing so that no one overlooked us. Our able sponsor, Miss Fliess, made our Junior year one to remember. The first of our Junior activities was a picnic, followed soon by a delightful Hallowe’en party. A kiddie party, just before Christmas, kept up the “pep” of the class. The most elaborate affair of the year was the Junior-Senior Prom, held on the fourteenth of February. Our Prom consisted of a Revue, refreshments in the cafeteria, and dancing on the stage, which was decorated in a gorgeous manner. The last of our Junior activities was an enjoyable hay-ride to Clear¬ water Park. Although the weather was cool, several enjoyed (???) a short swim. Finally, we decorated for the Senior banquet and commencement events. So ended an ever-to-be-remembered and most successful Junior year. Then our past and last year started off well. Being “dignified Seniors,” we enjoyed the privileges denied lower classmen. Our faithful Senior sponsor, Miss Fliess, arranged many events for our pleasure. THE 1935 ALLEGHAN IAN In September we went on a hike which was enjoyed very much. Our next activity was a delightful party in October, when the girls “dated” the boys. I he Seniors rings were also ordered in the same month. In November we had a theatre party. Before the mid-night show we enjoyed games, dancing, and the like, at Emily James ' home. On November 20, the Senior play, “ I he Comic Supplement,” was given and was greatly enjoyed by those present. We had a very delightful party in January. In February, the Junior- Senior Party was given in onr honor and we had a grand time. In March, our Alleghanian w as sent to the publishers. We are very proud of the fact that we are the first class since that of ' 21 to publish an annual. The events of the last three months of our sojourn in high school will have to be recorded elsewhere. At present, we are anticipating them with much pleasure as well as a little sadness. Our class, which is the twenty-eighth to leave the Clifton Forge High School, consists of seventy-six students. As the first class, that of 1908, had only three students, our alma mater has made excellent progress in the size of its classes. Thus far, Clifton Forge High School has presented diplomas to 847 students. Our class should bring this total to 923. When our diplomas are presented, we shall receive them with a feeling of gratitude to all who have helped us attain our goal. We shall leave with a feeling of sadness that our paths must separate. We shall leave our under¬ classmen with the hope that they shall always he faithful to the ideals of our beloved High School. -Frances Van Lear Congratulations, Seniors!

June i, 1950. Mr. George Smith, Secretary of the Treasury, Washington, D. C. Dear Georgie: I arrived here in my autogiro exactly thirty minutes after leaving you in Wash¬ ington. I do wish you could have come down with me to attend our class reunion here in dear old C. F. FT. S. (Of course business will always come before pleasure with you.) Taking care of the nation’s finances makes us forget that we were once care-free students here. To compensate for having left all my duties to you, I shall tell you the news. Since my visit in 1940, the old Alma Mater has grown and progressed in many ways. Four floors have been added to ' the old building, and modern elevators transport the students to the library which occupies all of the fourth floor. The fifth floor has a machine shop, where the students who wish to can do practical work in machinery, and a printing press where the Mountaineer is published daily. The commercial department now occupies the sixth floor. There are new laboratories on the third floor, and in the basement, a ' gorgeous swimming pool and spacious athletic rooms. The whole building has been remodeled and looks like new. The old dumping ground has been turned into beautiful botanical gardens, and the stadium overlooking the athletic field is a dream. The school con¬ tinues to lead the state in athletics—for girls as well as hoys, now. The debating teams and other literary efforts have been very successful. The 1950 Alleghanian has over two hundred pages and is truly a work of art. I really am thrilled with everything. As much as f enjoyed seeing the old school, I enjoyed conversing with our classmates even more. Although our paths have separated and we have become active in many fields, we seem to be as noisy and congenial as when we were Seniors. When I return to Washington I shall give you the details. Meanwhile, please be content with a few words about each member of the class. The activities of the reunion lasted two days, with dancing in the ballroom of the school on the first night. I was very much surprised to hear William Swortzel and his orchestra rendering the music for the dance. I entered into conversation with him and learned that he is in a Broadway show and has some of our classmates doing the vocal and dancing parts. Claude Burger is the star of the show with his tap dancing and singing, and Gertrude Wilkins is the leading lady of the same show. Ffarris “Pete” Hocker plays one of the violins in William’s orchestra, and Bernard Evans amuses the audience with his ability to play the jug. You still re¬ member Bruce Kern, our class president, and his marvelous bass voice. I presume. He is traveling with William and gives a remarkable imitation of Popeye’s voice. Eloise Kendig and Reva Dodd make up the comedy team of the show, and cause the observers to hold their sides and shake with laughter. Elliott Dameron gives 19 3 5 A The 18 THE 1935 ALLEGHAN IAN the vocal version of the popular songs, and can he sing ' ? I 11 say he can. I was very much astonished to learn that Dorothy Nichols and Eleanor Lawler are acrobats in the show. At the dance, I was surprised to see Mary Ann Reynolds and Virginia Smith come running into the ballroom followed by a bunch of dogs. They put their canine friends through a performance such as I have never seen before. I spoke to them after their performance and learned that they are traveling with Bailum and Barney’s Circus, and are employed as dog trainers. They told me that Jeanne Johnson is with the show, and is going about her duties of lion tamer. I got a glimpse of Raymond Craft and edged up to him and told him who I was. He had a nifty Van Dyke beard, and told me he was with the circus and was running a side-show. He made a trip to Africa and captured a two-tailed hippodilimus and is making good money showing it. Gordon Mays and Richard McDonald have turned into professional strong men and gave a weight lifting exhibition on the stage of the old auditorium. One thing that surprised me most was that Billy Scruggs has a job cleaning the tent after each performance and has become quite expert at it. C. M. Casey and Johnny Dudley are making a living by putting on a fire-eating performance in a side-show. I talked with Mary Hamilton and learned that she is occupying the position of head peanut vender, and has Virginia Tyree as first assistant. Do you remember Warren Montgomery always telling us that his ambition was to be a railroad executive? He has attained this height, and is now conductor on the Hardscrabble-Low Moor Subway. He has been married for the past ten years and is supporting his wife and seven little Montgomerys. Robert Crance is the motorman on the same subway. Ellis Kern went to an engineering school and was graduated with high honors. He told me that he supervised the construction of a dam that makes Boulder Dam look like a mud puddle. R. J. Bursey and J. R. Snead have just invented a liquid that will freeze water when poured into it. They plan to freeze the Atlantic Ocean and skate over to Europe. Jesse Peck plans to skate with them. Billy Swartz always wanted to start at the bottom and work up. He told me that he has just finished scrubbing the bottom of the Panama Canal and expects to start on the sides soon. Wiley Mitchell has opened a drug store in Selma and employes Mary Lib Walton as soda jerker. In the high school, Mary Ellen Thomas is principal, and Elizabeth Faidlev is her secretary. Floyd Campbell teaches Biology and Chemistry and Dorothy Beck- ner teaches physical education. DeWitt Bratton is the Art teacher. Jack Williams and Tommy Rhodes informed me that they have just completed a rocket ship; and are trying to decide whom they will get to fly it to the moon. You read in the newspapers about the man hunters of Virginia being organized into a club. They elected their officers and Emily James was chosen as third assis¬ tant secretary, and Margaret Drumheller was given the position of treasurer. A men’s fashionable clothing store was opened recently in Lick Run with Wyant Mays and John Pollock as managers. 19 THE 1935 ALLEGHAN IAN Two years ago the Dog and Cat Hospital bought the building vacated by the old First National Bank, and Sylvia Craft and Francile Brown are the surgeons in that worthy institution. Lucie Luck, Mary Bell, and Eleanor Bradley went to Nebraska in 1941, and news was received in Clifton Forge that they were married to farmers. I did not know that there could be so many miracles in one world until I learned that Margaret Ann Tribbett and Frances Via are teamed up with Mildred Stone and Estelle Rapp as comediennes in the Longdale Theatre. Margaret Fox is their manager. In 1942 a law school opened in Gala and the three Newcomb girls, Helen, Florence, and Gertrude, were employed as teachers of the industrious students in that institution. A new course was added about three years later and Nancy Reburn is teaching the course. It it a combination of instructions for janitors and dog catchers. Immediately after leaving school, Henrietta Anderson was given the position of bookkeeper for Sears, Roebuck and Company. Later she opened a store of her own and employed Billy Major as floorwalker and Nadine Stanley as manager. Ruby King and Edith Krimm are models in Henrietta’s store. Billy Sutherland, whose ambition was to be an admiral, entered the Navy twelve years ago, and is now captain of one of our famous new streamlined, knee- action battleships. Do you remember that certain alumnus of C. F. H. S. with whom Frances Van Lear was in love? Last night she was at the reunion and her husband was with her. It is the same one. Martha Hyde and Elizabeth Ingram have risen in the public eye lately. In a recent convention in Chicago they won the horseshoe pitching championship of the world. They gave an exhibition last night, and they are marvelous. They told me that Ternpie Kern and Marion Drewry are employed in a meat packing establish¬ ment in Chicago. There is a modern hotel on the site formerly occupied by the Y. M. C. A. in our school days. Ella Matheny and Eloise Myers purchased this plot of ground and sold stocks and bonds to raise the money to construct this wonderful abode for tourists, and are making a nice profit. Bertha Fliess, Willianna Hancock, and Myrtle Hayslett are the foreign corres¬ pondents for a New York newspaper and are just home from abroad after covering the uprisings in Bongoland. About ten years ago, a kindergarten was opened in Iron Gate and Annie Marshall was chosen to head this institution. Do you remember how Miss Fliess use to search her brain for problems to make us work? At present she is a world-famous mathematician, and recently she presented a theory to the world. It is too complicated to tell about in a letter, but the main idea is that water has to travel up hill in order to get in a position to run down hill. That is about all I can tell you at present, but when I return to Washington, I will tell you more about everyone. With kindest regards to Mrs. Smith and the twins, I remain, 20 Your devoted assistant, E. J.

Under the capable guidance of Coach Floyd S. Kay, this institution has produced athletic teams that have won many state honors and the everlasting backing of sport fans. Baseball has always been a lively game with our school and many champion¬ ship baseball teams have been honored here. In fact, from the year 1928 to 1935 we have been the champions of Class B schools in District VI every year except one. As in most sports, Covington High and C. F. H. S. are great rivals in baseball and when the two teams meet, you can be assured of a grand game which is usually a pitcher’s battle. Our track teams had not been given the proper attention until the spring of 1934, when the whole school seemed to gather a great interest in the sport. Even though handicapped by the lack of a suitable training ground, our track teams have placed several honors at the feet of Clifton Forge High. In 1934, a cinder track was added to the athletic ground because of this arising interest in the old Greek sport. The track team of ’34 won the B Class Championship at Charlottesville besides winning the Class B Relay in a time which nearly set a new state record. It is thought that this school will soon turn out as good teams for track as it does for other sports. It has become an established fact that football is the principal sport here. When this house of learning fails to turn out a good gridiron squad, there certainly will be something amiss. Boys in this locality, although not heavy or rough, seem to be natural born football players. For the years 1933 and ’34, the “Mountaineers” were undefeated and tied only once. This tie was played with Fredericksburg and although both teams fought gallantly a 12 to 12 score was the result. In the year of 1932, the Covingtonians defeated our football team in one encounter and tied us o to o in another. Since then, Covington has not gathered a victory from us in football. In 1934 we defeated them in two battles. One defeat was especially sweet when the “Cougars” were allowed only 2 points to our 27. Class B Champions of District VI in 1933 was not a high enough goal for the “Mountaineers.” When the fall of ’34 rolled around, they set their hearts for a little better and by defeating Martinsville 38 to o, became B Class Football Cham¬ pions of the Western Half of Virginia. Thus has ended a two years’ undefeated team with sixteen victories and one tied game. Although it is practically a new sport with us, basketball has become another favorite in Clifton Forge High School. After several years of “trial and error” it was seen that a championship basketball quintet could be produced here. The basketball team, in years gone by seemed to be willing to quit if they could only win from Covington. This year of 1935, they tried harder with basketball. They were victorious over Covington in two encounters and also won two games from Buchanan, a school which specializes in basketball. We were runners up for the District Championship but were defeated by Fincastle in the deciding battle. We, the Seniors of 1935, wish the High School a continued success in athletics and will always be watching and rooting for “Mountaineer” athletic teams. 40 THE 1935 ALLEGHAN lAN Football Captain .............Ed Marshall Manager ............Ellis Kern Coach ........Floyd S.
