We wish to acknowledge our grateful thanks and deep gratitude to all those who have so generously given both time and labor to the betterment of our annual.

When I have talked in anger and my cheeks were flaming red, I have always uttered something which I wish I hadn’t said. In anger I have never done a kindly deed or wise. But many things for which I felt I should apologize. In looking back across my life, and all I’ve lost, or made, I can’t recall a single time when fury ever paid. So I struggle to be patient, for I’ve reached a wiser age; I do not want to do a thing or speak a word of rage. I have learned by sad experience that when my temper flies, I never do a worthy thing, a decent deed or wise. -—Ruth Young 24 CLASS HISTORY I N every history, we find recorded struggles and more struggles. The history of our class has not been an exception. For the past four years, we have struggled together on the rugged pathway that has at last led us to this day. This has not been a “Rosy Pathway,” for all along the way there have been thorns of hardships, disappointments, jealousies, indolence, and other thorns too numerous to mention, but we have at last torn away the awful thorns—and now have within our grasp our reward—a beautiful rose—a Diploma. I shall now attempt to give you a true history of the class of 1936. The first two years we did not organize, but when the Junior year rolled around, we began to do things. Miss Margaret Van Horn was elected sponsor. Junior class officers were Erskine Talia¬ ferro, president; Jack Tucker, vice-president; Gladys Dillard, secretary; Frances Nair, treasurer. The class decided to have Junior pins and they were selected. After a couple of parties, we gave the Seniors their annual dance. Much to our pleasure it was a success. During April we selected our Senior rings, so that we might have them at the beginning of the next fall term. We also elected Miss Emily Hazel Copps as Senior sponsor for the coming year. 1935 and ’36 rolled around and found us dignified Seniors. Goodness, were we proud! We began to get to work early. A short time after school began Miss Copps, who proved to be very, very capable in her position, started Senior activities. The first thing to demand our attention was election of officers. After an interesting and exciting campaign, Charles Via was chosen president; Geraldine Ailstock, vice-president; Gladys Dillard, secretary; Ewell Bradley, treasurer. A little later our rings came. Proud? I’ll say we were. Then came Senior play tryouts. A capable cast was selected and our play, under the excellent direction of our sponsor, was a huge success. We had several parties before Christmas, and after mid-term exams were over, we, who were fortunate enough to pass, realized we were on the last lap of our High School life. Then we, in turn, selected invitations, cards, caps and gowns, and elected our class night spokesmen. The Junior-Senior prom on March 20th was a gala affair, and everyone enjoyed it very much. May saw pretty dresses fluttering in and out of Hotel Jefferson where our banquet and dinner-dance were held. This finished our gay life at C. F. H. S. And now the time is drawing near, our history will soon be over and I wish to give you a better conception of our high school days. AS FRESHMEN: They met us as we came to school, (Four years have since passed by) With boards and rules and hazing tools, They near bout made us cry. 19 3 6 ALLEGHANI AN 1 hey grabbed us, held us, nabbed us, felled us. Sat upon, lay upon, walked upon, and jelled us. And though they tried with might and main. To strew us far and near. We rose with pain and said, “we fain Would stay throughout the year.” AS SOPHOMORES: Our History books, they were so hard. Likewise our Latin and Math, The teachers swayed an iron rod. And froze us with their wrath. They caught us, cowed us, taught us, scared us. Mussed about, fussed about, mighty near sweared at us. And though they tried to burst our brain (At this they had no peers) Unmoved, quite plain, we said, “we fain Would stay the full four years.” AS JUNIORS: When on that ne’er forgotten day, When the word “Junior” filled the air. Came from the fray, a loyal ray, Lor Clifton Hi the fair. It held us, stilled us, quelled us, filled us. Stormed within, calmed within, warmed within, and filled us. And though the Seniors sought to give us pain And liked to scorn and jeer This class again will say, “we fain Would stay yet one more year.” AS SENIORS: We felt quite grand and gay. Our goal was now near by, We were happy all, that we decided to stay. Lor Victory was now our cry. It held us, thrilled us, pepped us, filled us. Stormed within, calmed within, warmed within, and filled us. And though our work had caused us pain This class again does say, “We gain,” Our full reward for these four years. —Charlotte Humbert 26 CLASS WILL AND TESTAMENT ■ V7E the class of 1936, being of sound mind and memory, do hereby make this our last Will and Testament. Feeling that we have not much longer to live, we desire that our property, namely, our faults and virtues, shall be equally distributed before our death. First, we desire that we shall be given decent burial with the Juniors as pallbearers, and Sophs and Faculty as chief mourners. To the Faculty we leave peace and quite from one of the “worst” good classes that has ever been in High School. We also desire that they forget the may D’s they have put down on our papers in trying to make out our high hieroglyphics. To Mr. Love we especially bequeath the privilege of giving a Citizenship speech at our interment. To M iss Wilson we bequeath an all-star basketball team. To Mrs. Lynn—our Latin Commentator—we sent to Rome for a bust of Julius Caesar to place on her desk. “Bo” Faber leaves his graceful walk to Miss Fliess. Maybe he will have to teach you how, Miss Fliess, but you’ll soon learn. To Mr. Motley’s band we bequeath a wish that they will replace Guy Lambardo on the radio next year. To Ruby Oakes, we leave Eloise Morris’s pompous manner. We know Eloise hates to part with this, but after all she will be much happier in future life without it. To Dreama Cunningham we bequeath Sylvia Layton’s smile that just won’t wear off. To the future Athletic teams we leave our good wishes as well as abil ity and the hope that they may capture many more state championships. The beauties of the Senior Class leave their patches, paints and powders to the Sophs, hoping they will make them as attractive as their sisters. To Charles Van Lear we bequeath Charles Via’s tireless energy and leadership which made our class such a success. 19 3 6 ALLEGHANIAN To the Juniors we bequeath our dramatic ability so their Senior Play will be a success next year. There are quite a number of eyesores in our class and we leave them to anyone who will accept them, including Ewell Bradley’s athletic socks, Russel Miller’s green sweater, and Jack Tucker’s bow tie. To our fellow school mates and School Board we bequeath the valuables we leave behind, including the beautiful “hand carved’’ desks. They may be of no value now, but when we become famous you will be proud of them. To Eloise Lumsden we leave Charlotte Humbert’s recipe for her girlish figure. To our much-loved sponsor. Miss Hazel Copps, we leave our hearty appreciation for her untiring efforts on our behalf. We also hope that some day she may discover an English VIII class as brilliant as the one that departs this year. We bequeath all our hats, caps and other headwear, having completely outgrown them in our Senior year, to the Freshmen. Arthur Hall is going to leave Stuart Lacy to the care of Bobby Sacks and Bobby do be careful! Geraldine Ailstock says she is going to be good to one who deserves it and desires to leave her basketball career to Millie Greaver. Again, to the Faculty, we leave our heartiest congratulations for having turned out such an excellent class, and we hereby constitute the presidents of the lower classes the executors of this, our last Will and Testament. —Mary Elizabeth Greaver 2S CLASS PROPHECY H OW do you do ladies and gentlemen. This is Erskine Taliaferro speaking—giving you the highlights of the Class of ’36, and my how they have changed during the past ten years. Why the other day I was in New York and feeling rather blue, so I wandered around to a night club. Coming to the door I was confronted by a tall and dignified person. I ooking up into the heights I saw none other than Ed Sinar, our tall he-man of the class. I asked Ed what he was doing and he said he was the doorman. I went in and sat down. The orchestra was playing a popular hit tune. The leader turned to the audience and to my surprise I saw the old Maestro was none other than our old saxophone playing Senior Arthur Hall. Charlotte Humbert, the girl with the Kate Smith voice (yea voice), is singing with the orchestra. Anne Payne and Janie Hatcher are doing a tap routine in the club. Neither are able to keep time with the music—but I understand they make pretty good time” where the males are concerned. After this I decided to go down to Greenwich village for a little cheering up among the artists, models and dancers. You could never guess whom I saw there, so I will ha e to tell you—none other than Vivian Douglas, artist of our class, and her model, Eloise M orris. Elsie Mahanes and Melvene Overstreet are well-known artists there too. I did not remain in New York so long, but upon my return to Clifton Forge I found many changes had taken place in the business group. J. L. Haynes and Ray Baer are now managing the A. P. Stores, while Harry Garrett is the manager of Krogers. Boy! is the competition strong. To complicate matters more Courtney Powell works part-time for one store and part-time for the other. V ou will have to ask him where his heart reallv lies. While standing in the store I was surprised to see Mary Carrel Robertson and ‘‘Bo’ Faber walk in. You’re right—they are Mr. and Mrs. row. Mary Carrell’s ambition to sins on the stage was never realized, however, she sings often at social functions in Clifton Forge. Lyle Noffsinser. the air-minded chap of the class, recently flew upside down from Africa to the U. S. Was he dizzy when he landed! J. W. Slough’s ambition to be a famous chemist has not yet been realized, but he still hopes; and experiments. He recently blew the side out of his home, but a little thing like that wouldn’t discourage J. W. We understand i t is something new now. Frances Bradley, the ouiet, dignified girl of the class followed up her ability as a Home Economics student and is now Home Economics teacher in the Clifton Forge High School, replacing our beloved teacher. Miss Rust, who has embarked on the matrimonial sea. Anna Carter is now happily married to her high school sweetheart of Staunton. Dorothy Graves, the youngest member of the class, has invented a new formula by which the brain may enlarge and a person get smarter. Lillian Johnson has decided that being an old maid is lots better than washing clothes and darning stockings for any man—but we hear there are heart-leanings toward Collierstown, Virginia. Home Town Boy makes good is certainly right. Ray Stanley now owns the Cliff Drug Company. Nat Garland at the soda fountain is a real attraction for the sub-deds and one that Ray would hate to be without. 19 3 6 29 ALLEGHANIAN Frances Williams and Edna Hamilton, in spite of everything, married the two Covington boys. Funny what girls w ill do. Margaret Woodrum is now head nurse at the C. O. Hospital, and Margaret Miller and Louise Harvey are technicians. Opportunity may have knocked at James Fridley’s door, but he failed to open it. His ambition to croon to thousands of listeners never came true, or else he prefers crooning to an appreciate audience which he has no trouble in finding in his wife, Mildred Monroe. Mary Overton Kent has replaced “Babe” Smith as librarian of our High School and Charles Via is her assistant. The Old Maids’ Circle recently met at Arlene Evans’ home. Those present were: Violet Wilhelm, Ruth Young, Esther Whiteside, Marie Sprouse, Helen Smith and Elsie Dodd. Evidently these girls realized married life wasn’t so interesting, or the boys were just too shy. Bill Harvey is Head Surgeon at the C. O. Hospital. Funny why so many girls are having nervous breakdowns! Jean Revercomb’s dry wit has won her a place in a recent Broadway Show. Gladys Dillard has at last settled down and married. Mr. Montgomery is the lucky chap. Alice Glass finished her education and is now teaching the little ones their A B C’s. Marv Flizabeth Garber i= the faithful wife of Wilev Mitchell, the electrical wizard. The Harmony Boys are steadily gaining fame. LaRue Wilhelm, Roy Haythe and Dick Lockhart are to appear on Ma ' or Bowes’ next program. Allen Hickman, the young Rubinoff, is now playing in the Merrimaker’s orchestra. Frank Cash has returned to his first love—the country. He now owns a very prosperous farm. Isn’t the government generous, Frank? Irene Clarkson, the girl with the dreamy eyes, is now head waitress at the Swan Cafe. Frances Nair, following up her career as editor of the school paper, is now editor of the Daily Review. The paper has advanced from four to eight pages. Funny what a woman can accomplish with just words! Virgil Humphries has realized his ambition and is now playing baseball with the Detroit Tigers. Folks, I hate to tell you this next thing—but, Jack Tucker is now head coach of none other than Covington High School. Ewell Bradley has left the mountain for the sea. He is now captain, first mate and pilot of the Tugboat Alma Lee. Mary Elizabeth Greaver is the hapry wife of her former Waynesboro sweetheart. Geraldine Ailstock is head of Physical Education in the Clifton Forge High School. Her sister, Jeanette teaches knitting on the side. Melvin Coffman is playing a guitar in the Alleghany Hill Billy Band. Willis Weaver is the super-salesman for the Perfect Fit Shoe Company. He received a reduction in his salary last week because a lady complained of an improper fit! Willis says he couldn’t go around holding up her arches for her. Catherine Craft has opened an exclusive dress shop in the city. Norma Bowles designs the hats, and Hubert Harlow is the delivery boy of this establishment. The Senior Class of 1 936 has made it possible for me to bring you this broadcast which I sincerely hope you have enjoyed. I shall look forward to bringing you more “dope” on the class at some time in the future. Tour announcer—Erskine Taliaferro. (Curtain.) 30 STORY BY A STUDENT CRUEL MITATSKARA ' S FATE ( 6 H, isn’t old Eagle Mountain beautiful this afternoon? Mr. Autumn, that famous V_y artist, and old man Sunshine certainly work together for good,” exclaimed Bob Patterson as he walked along the narrow path leading up Eagle Mountain. “Yes, very beautiful at the first glance,” replied Mr. Gray, the older of the two men, his keen eyes twinkling with delight, for he was the sort of man who liked to see deeper into things than one glance can see. “Now, look at Eagle Mountain again. See if you don’t have a peculiar feeling, something mysterious or—err something, well, I don’t know just how to explain it.” “I still can see nothing that isn’t beautiful or have any feeling but that of joy and thankfulness about such a wonderful piece of work as a mountain,” replied Bob Patterson. “Listen, if you were as old as I am you would be able to understand what I mean. When I was your age I thought that too, until my grandmother told me of a tragedy which happened high in those hills long ago. Ever since that time when I look at this great mass of trees, earth, and rocks, I first see the beauty of it; but at the second glance it is quickly changed into a huge monster, which at once sends fear, like a sharp knife, through you. Oh! If that mountain could talk we might know the truth. It is the awful things that have happened in this mountain that give you such a peculiar feeling. Do you see that huge rock ledge over there? Under it is an enormous cave. No one has ever found the end of this cave. Now, let’s go back about one hundred and fifty years and see what existed there then. We go to an Indian village. There are great throngs of people on the village green. It is a holiday or some special festival is being held. Some are beating drums while others dance. ‘Is everyone ready?’ The loud deep voice of Martinerz, chief of the Chroctau tribe yelled! ‘Y es,’ roared the voices of a hundred people. It was a very picturesque sight to see such a long line of tall, straight Indian warriors standing as if they were turning to stone. Suddenly a horse could be seen in the distance and at once the loud confusion was turned into death-like silence. On the horse rode a beautiful Indian princess. Her long black hair streamed down her back. Her keen black eyes sighted every move that was made by the long row of young men. Mitatskara, which was the princess’ name, was worshipped by the Chroctau tribe. Because of her beauty and power she was thought to be a goddess and was feared by everyone. This girl was as cruel as she was beautiful. Whenever she wished she might 19 3 6 31 ALLEGHANI AN pick the most handsome man in the tribe, supposedly to be her husband, but to be heartlessly killed because of the great joy which the princess derived from this horrible sport. Their bodies were thrown into the huge cave. One would ask, why did Chief Martinez let this woman kill so many men? Where was his power and backbone? The answer is that he really had no power or backbone either when it came to this question. For as you know this princess was supposed to be a goddess. It was only superstition which kept her from being killed. In the large crowd witnessing the cruel event there was a strange warrior from another tribe who lived far away. As he watched the barbarous maiden walk slowly along the lire of Indian warriors and then suddenly come to a stop in front of one man, who was led away to the chopping block, it made his blood boil to see the enjoyment which the princess derived from such an inhuman act. It made him even more angry when he thought of how this shrewd girl had taken advantage of the supertitious Indians in making them believe that human sacrifices must be made to the gods or they would be very angry. The princess was smart, but he also was smart enough to see through this scheme. ‘If that girl can make them believe she is a goddess, I can make them believe I am a god,’ he said to himself. ‘I will give that young lady a dose of her own medicine,’ he angrily said as he changed his clothing in order that he might look as much like a god as the princess like a goddess. ‘Little Turtle’ found it easy to persuade Martinez to have another so-called sacrifice to the gods. The day of the big event arrived too soon to suit the girls of the tribe. This time a long line of young women stood awaiting their fate. Among these was Mitatskara. She seemed more nervous than the others. She seemed to know that she was the one who would be led away to the chopping block by this strange young man. Suddenly the huge drum roared and everyone became quiet. All eyes in the crown were fixed on ‘Little Turtle’ as he rode in front of the long line just as Mitatskara had. Sure enough he stopped in front of Mitatskara. Now she knew just how those men had felt as she had sentenced them to the chopping block. As ‘Little Turtle’ looked at the shaking princess, he couH read repentence in her eyes. The look she gave him was louder than if she had fallen on her knees and begged for her life. ' I will not let those pitiful looks and groans work on my sympathy. That woman deserves to be killed,’ ‘Little Turtle’ said to himself.” “Did he kill her?” asked Bob Patterson with an anxious expression on his face. Well,” replied Mr. Gray, “Let me finish my story. Mitatskara was led in the direction of the chopping block, but whether she had her head chopped off, for she really deserved it, or whether they lived happy ever after I don’t know, at any rate when I look up at the cave and those hills I am afraid, if the princess is dead, I will see her ghost, or if she is living I am afraid she will come down here.” —Mary Elizabeth Cahoon 32 € « UNDERGRADUATES ALLEGHANIAN THE JUNIORS Joe Thomas __ ..President Norma PamPLIN. .

Kay In January, 1927, Coach Kay came to Clifton Forge High School from the University of Richmond. At that time football and baseball were the outstanding sports; but in 1929, Coach Kay developed a basketball team, later in 1933 he took over track, the fourth sport of the school, and brought them to prominence in our High School activities. Our athletic teams—football, basketball, baseball, and track—have won various titles, championships and state-wide recognition under the capable leadership of Coach Kay, whose success in C. F. H. S. is probably due to his kind, smooth manner, his cool temper and his comradeship with his teams, as well as his coaching ability. ALLEGHANIAN FOOTBALL As school began a week lale in September, Coach Kay was forced to drill his squad hard for the opening game two weeks off. With eleven lettermen returning, headed by Co-captains Lawler and Humpheries, there was a good chance for building a successful team. On Saturday, September 20th, the Mountaineers ' traveled to Lynchburg to play E. C. Glass Hi, their first opponents. 1 he Mountaineers, much lighter than their opponents, took the field and put up one of the best fights ever witnessed. They were able to hold the Class A Institution to a 0-0 tie. This tie with their heavier rivals was considered a great start for the “Mountaineer Team. They continued to show their ability by winning from the strong Chnstiansburg team the next Friday. Although they won the game, the Mountaineer loss was great. W renn and Thomas, because of injury sustained in the game, were lost to the squad for several games. The Mountaineers ’ followed this victory by beating Buena Vista and Central Hi on successive week-ends. After running rough shod over these two teams the “Mountaineers ran into the strong Fredericks¬ burg eleven who ruined the “Mountaineers Homecoming Day” by winning 16-6 in one of the hardest fought gridiron games ever played on the home field. Their defeat, the first in three years, seemed “to ruff the Mountaineers as they traveled to Covington the next Friday and handed their arch rivals one of the worst drubbings ever recorded in the school history by a victory of 25-6. Lexington Hi and Valley Hi then fell before the “Mountaineers, and this ended the regular season. Coach Kay entered his record for the Western State title and received word that the Mountaineers would have to play Narrows Hi. Narrows could not play the game and forfeited the title to the “Mountaineers, this making the second straight time the “Mountaineers had won the title. The Mountaineers had hardly received the title, when they received a message from Suffolk, who had won the Eastern State title, wanting them to come to Suffolk to play for the state title. The “Mountaineers packed their togs and left for Suffolk. The following day they took the field and were beaten by Suffolk 12-0 for the slate title. Thus ended their season with seven victories and two defeats, which is an excellent record for Coach Kay and his Mountaineers. 60 Scarlet Hurriciqe Rapidly By M jton Tear ' 26 6 Score Home ( Bradley Tucker 1 Mitchell £| ln £. “Scalp CU{tu cfft ° f A Gentu - ' - ' CWton P 0l . se . ha ‘ s t C r in nuniei - §J| Sszzs ton.

Prospects for a winning team were fair. The Mountaineers’ started their most successful season in history by dropping a pre-Christmas same to the City All-Stars by a score of 36-34. Then the fireworks started, three C. C. C. teams went down in defeat before we entered high school competition. After this the Mountaineers continued their winning streak to twelve consecutive victories before dropping a close game to White Sulphur by a score 19-15. Four more consecutive victories followed which gave the “Mountaineers sixteen victories and two defeats. Since the “Mountaineers were undefeated in ten conference games, they were eligible to enter the District I Tournament held at Washington and Lee University, March 6 and 7. Misfortune overtook the “Mountaineers ' in this contest, they were eliminated by Bedford High School by a score of 19-16. Thus ended the Mountaineers most successful season m the history of basketball at C. F. H. S. The Mountaineers ' were piloted by Captain Jack Tucker, a very ' capable and outstanding forward. Ray Stanley, the other forward, was outstanding for his speed and accuracy. Edward Sinar. six foot five center contributed much to his teams success: Charles la. a guard, performed brilliantly ' throughout the season. Leo Carter, the other guard, although a new man m this sport, developed into a splendid player. Four of these players. Sinar. Tucker. la. and Stanley will graduate in the class of “36 and will be greatly missed next year. The Mountaineers ” record is outstanding in that they won two victories over all CONFERENCE TEAMS before they ' were defeated by’ Bedford in the tournament.

About 1933 the team disbanded because of the lack of a coach and general disinterest. Last September a number of girls undertook to revive interest in basketball as a girls sport. They had no coach, no equipment, nor did they even know the fundamentals of basketball; but despite all this there was an intense desire to play. They went to Miss Katie Wilson who consented to become coach and help them all she could. Thus the 1936 girls’ basketball team came into existence. At a meeting of the club, for Miss Wilson also sponsored a basketball club, early in October the girls chose Ruth Keller and Wilma Jackson as co-caplains of their team. Geraldine Ailslock was elected manager. The girls soon found that it was not all novelty and fun to be athletes, but proved that they could “stand the grade by scheduling a late October game with the Glen W ilton girls. Following this game the girls played Lexington, Ashwood, Fincastle, Roanoke, and Covington. The team made definite progress from the beginning of the season to the very close despite the lack of success in winning games. However, the girls were not despondent because the preparation and training received this year will doubtless prove invaluable to the maintenance of a successful team next year.
