IHIIHIIIIIIIIIIIMIII mil I 7 RESHMEN! AT last! we had reached the “goal, for which we had been striving for the past seven years, completing the elementary school and now entering a field which is entire- ly new to us. We had as our teachers, Miss Mattingly and Mrs. Kilby. They often entered the room to be met with a volley of chalk and erasers from grinning students. But we were merely freshmen — what did we care, we had three years to go. One of the big events of this year was the coronation of the May Queen on Field Day which turned out to be a great suc- cess with Catherine Jones as the queen. OOPHOMORES — We were now Sophomores, not Freshmen any more. Even tho’ sophomore means wise fool, we felt that we were a step nearer to our goal. Our teachers this year were Miss Winn and Mrs. Hudson. Continuing t e custom begun in our Freshmen year on field day, we had this year as our second Mav Queen, Mary Inskeep, who helped a great deal in mnk- ’’ng the May Day a success. A new extra cur- r ' cular activ’ty was added to our list wh n the boys organized a Hi-Y club. Carlos WilP ' ams, as president, did much to maintain and extend the influence which it will ever hold in our school. JUNIORS — OUR th ' rd year in h ; gh school! Although we had only one teacher, Miss Winn, she was very capable of taking care of us. She taught some of us in the Sophomore room, so we felt that we knew her very well. Athletics came into the spotlight once again wh- ' n the g ' rls won the basketball championship of this district. Even though we thought we were dignified, there was always a time when we lost our dignity, such as the banquet and theatre party we gave the Seniors. A new teacher was admitted to the faculty this year, Mr. B. B. Shotwell, who took the place of Mr. Holladay. This was the third consecutive year for the May Queen, Ruth Earle Weaver presid- ed. Our class officers were, Marjorie Inskeep, President, Steele Ritter, Vice-President, Annie O’Bannon, Secretary, Chancellor Kibler, Trea- surer. The boys took another step in furthering their Hi-Y purpose by helping to organize a G’rls’ Hi-Y Club. Their president was Zillah Rhoades, Vice-President, Marjorie Inskeep, Secretary, Betty von Gemmingen and Treasurer, Ann Watkins. CENIORS — And now our last year had arrived in which we took on that mantle of dignity and look of responsibility which comes with the knowledge of the example which we are setting for the new freshmen, who gaze at us with wondering eyes. Our class officers were Betty von Gemmingen, President, Elizabeth Blankenbaker, Vice-President, and Lucy Harris, Secretary and Treasurer. Our teacher was Miss Miller, whose untiring efforts in guiding us through our last year of high school were great- ly appreciated. The Glee Club took on a new responsibility in presenting an operetta, “In Ole Virginia,” which proved to be very success- ful. The boys created a small sensation in or- ganizing a Monogram Club. For the first time in the history of the school, the Seniors en- tertained the Freshmen. (We hope that it will be a yearly occurrence.) The Juniors bade us farewell with a fancy dress and theatre party. Our Senior play “Here Comes Patricia” came up to the expectations of ail. And now, the sheepskin, symbol of scholastic attainment, has passed to the hands of the class and a new page has turned for those who in 1931 were timid and not overly intelligent freshmen.

CLASS PROPHECY Station F-U-T-U-R-E broadcasting on a nationwide hook-up from the Ann Wingfield Memorial Stadium. Your announcer is “Bunks” Major and he will bring you the latest news of this great game between Culpeper and Cali- fornia Universities. I shall now turn the mike over to Jim Coleman, star reporter of the “Pepergram,” who will introduce some of the outstanding players.” “Good afternoon folks, Jim Coleman speak- ing and presenting the star players, the great- est of whom is that well known personality Harry Townsley, who has made many sensa- tional plays in this game. Next to Townsley we note 0. Bushong as the outstanding guard. Culpeper’s famous tackier, “Dolscy” Yowell, has lost his voice — believe it or not — and is now doing well in a hardware store in the town of Tootlesville, Virginia. Another great plaver who is missed greatly is Morton M’Uer who has tackled the profession of law on a big scale and has just won his fourth big case in which that well known movie ciueen, Nancv BH1 Green, was involved. And, folks, you should have seen her turning down those contracts on the court- house steps. But right here I surrender the m’ke to your announcer. “Bunks” who wiM re- view the celebrities. Let’s hear it, “Bunks”! “Well folks, there is quite a great crowd here today. Even the president, Mr. (X) is pres- ent with his Secretary of Agriculture, Edward Duncan, accompanying him. At the president ' s ri ght is sitting the family’s private Latm tutor, Ann Watkins, who is known throughout the nation. Near this nartv we see that great Pro- fessor, William Burwell. who has iust received the honorary position as Dean of Harvard Uni- versity. And who is that ladv, whv. it is none other than Mrs. Tweedledum, wearing a huge corsage of orch ; ds. Before her marriage to f he multi-millionaire she was the well known foll’es girl, Betty von Gee. (It has geen rumored that this was a fictitious name!) And while we are on the subject of flowers for all occasions, go to L. Pierce’s exclusive florist shop, located on East Street in this town. Now Coleman is con- versing with someone in dark glasses. Can it be? Yes! It is that modest Johnny Martin, bet- ter known to the public as the “missing link” in the great chain of theaters in this country. Near Mr. Martin is sitting that little dark-hair- ed lass named “the dairy maid” by her public, Virginia Kite is the original name, and even though she is alone today, we think all is peace- ful at home. Following down the line we see our great commentator, Joyce Guinn, who has just returned from a position in Europe. Accom- panying her is Marjorie Inskeep whose hatcher- ies are known throughout the world by all chicken lovers. Right now there is quite a dis- turbance in the lower end of the stad ' um. Now I can clearly see that the Woman’s Civic Cat Club has arrived. It has as its president Eliza- beth Wiseman, who has also been a great help in promoting the 4-H club, wh’ch has gained nation-wide recognition. Some of the outstand- ing members are Edna Good. Els’e Demp ev. and Mabel Curtis. And behold! There is that great night club hostess and proprietor. El ' en Smoot. who ; s better i-pown to all night, bib goers as “Barfly.” Her newest club “T’m Soun Spoon,” has iust been opened to the n” ul c °n H r ' em avenue. It ; s rumored th°t. Orv ' lle Smith, the world’s most or’ginal actress, has accepted the position of hostess in th ; s club. Over to our left, we see Me dee Oa’p°q onri Mary Booth who have both won scholastic hon- ors for debating and essay writing, respectively. Accompanying M ; ss Gaines is her petite secre- tary, Lucy Harris, w r ho has gamed a name for herself in the business field. The field of teach- ing and farming is represented by Elizabeth Blankenbaker, Virgina Yancey. Frankie Snvth, and Tandy Guinn. Both EPzabeth and Virginia are known for their abil’ty to teach and Frankie has just won the prize for having the most per- fect and natural farm grounds. Mr. Girnn has won fame in farming by crossing a potato and a carrot. He hasn’t, up until now, named this new vegetable. “Now folks back to the game. But it looks if there ; sn’t going to be a game. It seems that the boys forgot their umbrellas and rubber shoes and are calling it off because of the rain. So station “blub” F-U “glup” T-U-R-E and R-A-I-N are signing off until tomorrow morn ' ng at 7-00 o’clock. Be up and listening in, child- ren !” EDITH LEGG. mi mull mi mi 111 1 ii i mil minimum mm 1 1 mi inn mmmmmmmmmmmimmmmmmmmi immmmi imimii immimmmi
