However, we know that wishes alone will not win the war; so we have united to help where we can. Every day helps bring the day of victory, with its numerous problems, a little nearer. We have been studying these problems in our classes so that we will be better able to take our part in the new postwar world. We hope that it will be a more ideal place in which to live. We know the students of C.H.S. have tried to do their part to make it so. In this, our 1945 Colonnade, we have en- deavored to show you how in time of war, we, as a school, are striving for unity . . . Unity in the classroom, in our activities, and in the community. Contents Dedication Faculty Classes Features Organizations Advertisements Miss Carrie Gibboney Dedication We, the Senior Class of 1945, in full appre- ciation of one who has toiled unceasingly in our behalf and one with whom it has been a pleasure and an inspiration to co- operate, do dedicate this issue of the Colonnade to Miss Carrie Gibboney.

They made the supreme sacrifice that peace may some day be restored to the world. Let us resolve that their sacrifices shall not have been in vain, but that we will do our best to bring about a just and lasting peace in a unified world so that never again will our students have to go to war and not return. ★ LEWIS ARCHIE LILLARD ★ ERNEST MAXWELL CURTIS ★ GEORGE RICHARD ELLIOT ★ ANDREW FRANKLIN MITCHELL ★ JOSEPH EARL CURTIS ★ CHARLES WALLACE EDWARDS ★ JOHN TRAVERS BICKERS ★ SAYRE NOTTINGHAM THOMPSON ★ CLAUDE POWELL BRADLEY, JR. ★ JOHN CONWAY GUTHRIE, JR. ★ JOHN JOSEPH WEAVER, JR. ★ GARNETT SHIELDS WILLIAMS ★ ROBERT JAMESON FANT Officers SENIORS President Duff Green Vice-President Elizabeth Jones Secretary Hazel Rosson Treasurer Margaret Eggborn President Vice-President Secretary .

They represent our past, present and, in a some- what humorous way, our fu- ture. We hope that our future in the postwar world will prove our efforts that at the present, you will get some en- joyment from this section. Senior Song Book SEPTEMBER School (fays! School days!

Alack! Just one year more To work and study at C.H.S. We’re sad to leave, we must confess. Our friends, our pals of eleven years. Sharing our happiness, and our tears; Each must now go his separate way, A God-giv’n talent to display. Fame for few, for others none. Yet at the last the laurels won. The time has come when we must go. As we would reap so must we sow, A life successful, full of gain Must also have its share of pain. And now, dear C.H.S. , goodbye; We leave with a tear and a longing sigh. Betty Thurston 27 1 Saga of Our graduates And now a word from our sponsors: Seniors, Incorporated, presents its newest and most remarkable creation. Graduates. Makers for four years of worst grades and most noise. Seniors are proud to present this finished and complete product. However, due to a surplus demand on the battle fronts and in the services, the number of Boy Graduates has necessarily been reduced. If your high school is temporarily low in its stock of Boy Graduates, we assure you that the ones now available are of the highest quality. Seniors are proud of their Graduates, and when you know their background, you will understand and share this pride. In 1941 the Board of Trustees met and elected Henrietta Berry to handle the business affairs for the year. Miss Blanche Lazenby and Miss Frances Bain, as head Foremen directed the work and activities of Freshmen, as the company was then known. Freshmen led the school this year in Scholastics, an important by-product of the firm. In this year, also, an outstanding characteristic of the product became apparent. The Freshman foremen tried to eliminate this trait, but the trustees unanimously decided that it was an asset. Therefore, the Graduates, as they are today and through the four years required for their completion, have Fun. After a brief rest, operations were resumed in the second year. The corporation, under a new name, felt the need of a change in administration and of new ideas. They were now Sophomores, and their first act was to elect Tom Edmondson as head of the Board of Trustees. Miss Bain remained as foreman, although Miss Lazenby had left the factory. Mr. Carter White and Miss Edna Byer became heads of the remaining sections. As the year advanced. Sophomores gave evidence that they had a great product in the making. More favorable characteristics appeared. It was found that Sophomores con- sidered Talent an important part in the assembly of future Graduates. Patriotism was also used freely in the factory. The results of this wise use were shown in their smart appearance at military drill and by the fact that from their group came the first boy to join the service. Denseness, a characteristic of Freshmen, was lessened somewhat and Sophomore Sauciness took its place. In the third year of existence, our company again changed its name to the more impressive one. Juniors, with Miss Byer retaining her position as foreman and Miss Myrtle Jenkins completing the staff. The Board of Trustees, deciding he has been efficient, again elected Tom Edmondson as its president. By this time the firm was assured of the future success of its forthcoming, astounding, new product. This year Juniors made great plans for their final year in production. Three of the members of the executive depart- ment were accepted into the Quill and Scroll. An extra dash of Literary Talent had been used in their manufacture. An extra coating of citizenship applied to three boys made J28 1- Saga of Our graduates them outstanding; they were elected Good Citizens. A new by-product, Junior Sophisti- cation, marked the beginning of an important era in the history of the firm. To entertain a company going out of business. Juniors gave what was known as the Junior-Senior Prom, which was a huge success. As a final prelude to the longed-for year in which they were to make their debut. Juniors ordered those symbols of success. Class Rings! At last Graduates are in mass production. In charge of the assembly lines Miss Carrie Gibboney and Mr. Floyd Binns have been capable and efficient foremen. Dignity has been added as a decorous mark of distinction. Intelligence has also finally been acquired and brains have been developed to a remarkable degree. For advertisement, they are publishing this, their Colonnade, that you may see the excellent material and methods of assembly used in the manufacture of Graduates. They have presented Every Family Has One” that you may see the unusal amount of Talent in their makeup. In keeping with the popular use of jingles in advertising, they have made the following transcription: Senior Class, Senior Class Have more fun with Senior Cla-a-as. Happier, gayer, smarter, too. Senior Class is super do-o-oo! And now the Graduates receive the finishing touch, caps and gowns. Graduation — the final stage in production has arrived and now Graduates are ready for the world market. Soon they will receive their Certificates of Guarantee, Diplomas. You can see them on display at your favorite high school. We hope you find them satisfactory. Ann Forbes Stanley Rosenthal Margaret Eggborn Zempus 7u0it It was a dull rainy afternoon in the year of 195 5. What was one to do to pass away time on such a dreary day? I hit upon an idea. I would go up to the attic. There was usually something interesting there. While scrambling through old papers, books, and letters, I came across an old photograph which was probably meant to be a class picture. Hmmmmm, I thought, they look familiar. I looked more closely, and sure enough, there were my friends of the senior class of 1945. My, my, don’t they look just too, too adolescent? Gee, I wonder where they all are and what they’ve been doing. Yawnnn. Well, I’ll go to sleep and dream on it; these papers make a good pillow. Why Father Time, fancy meeting you here! Say, could you delve into your Record Book and tell me what my senior classmates have been doing all these years?” Sure,” answered the old chap, as he carefully placed his scythe and hourglass beside him. Sit down and look them up in my book here.” Thanks,” I answered as I eagerly glanced over the pages. A’s, B’s, ah, here’s one I’ll be interested in; Duff Green, president of senior class of ’44-’45, makes good as sports editor of the largest newspaper in U.S.A., The Culpeper Loud-speaker,” which is pub- lished by R. J. Inskeep, who after the manner of all city editors indulges in a tantrum every morning to start the day off right. Dorothy Watson is the charming editor of I Speak from Experience,” a column for the lovelorn, to which Mary C. Corbin writes every other day for advice on her many love problems. Oh, and what was that school cheer; He’s a peach, he’s a dream . . .”? I remember now. Woods Price Stringfellow. I’ll look him up. Here, he of all people has dedicated a new wing to the old school building and named it Anne Price Stringfield.” The new professor is none other than Charles Hurt (incidentally, he’s grown a very distinguished looking goatee.) There have been some new teachers installed too, I see. Elizabeth Jones, Latin; Dot Faulconer, civics; Louise Leavell, who has invented a typewriter that types shorthand, and for physical ed. instructor, none other than energetic Sarah Robbins. The Super-Sales Club, which was organized by Hazel Rosson, is campaigning for higher wages and roller skates to ride on behind counters to save time. Supporting this campaign as members are Lucille Beahm, Alma Dodson, Thelma Tinder, Edna Curtis, Ruth Ceil, Elizabeth Green, Lorraine Taylor and Rebecca West. They seem to be doing an excellent job, too. Thumbing through the famous and interesting old book, I noticed a section on enter- tainment. At the head of the list was Tom Edmondson who had organized a six-piece jazz band entitled the Jazzberries.” Players from C.H.S. are Roger Curtis, Eugene Byram, Bobby Heflin, and his current torch singer is Claudine Weaver, well known in Hollywood circles. The new television program, Call of the Wolves,” made its debut several weeks ago featuring the Trilling Trio,” Evelyne Booth, Virginia Jones, and Alice Donald, who introduced a new song, Cokes for Three.” Speaking of entertainment, here’s Ann Forbes starring in Potassium Cyanide and New Ruffles.” What next? And here’s an item which says that Broadway has opened a new piano musical called One Foot in the Grave” featuring Peggy Dinkel, top flight pianist of the day. Into the radio world today enters Elizabeth Roberts, M.C. for her own quiz show, There’s Dough in These Hyar Hills.” They say Miss Roberts thinks up her own questions for her quiz show. ”{ 30 F Zempus ?ugit Leaving the world of entertainment, I skipped to the business section. Say, this looks interesting. The Business Association for the Prevention of Business” has held its quarterly election. Betty McMenzie was elected chairman and Corrine Jenkins as her assistant. On a committee for educating employers are Barbara Rosson, Thelma Hall, and Catherine Colvin. Barbara Myers is conducting private classes in letter writing in New York City, and I don’t mean business letters. Smith, Ernest? Yes, that sounds familiar. He has the greatest scientific farm in the United States. He raises synthetic cocoa beans. Marshall Jenkins and Billy O’Bannon have gone in to the banking business as partners. Stanley Rosenthal, D.D.S., P.A., B.A., S.A.P. . . . Heavens, is HE that dentist that nearly drilled a hole in my jawbone? Medaine Buderman is fourth vice-president in charge of hooking paper clips together. Oh yes, as a side line, she’s a renowned research chemist. She’s finally split the element hydrogen (over the Prof’s head). The famous illustrator, Kenneth Woods, has secured a job as chief artist on the Monday Morning Pole. Power’s models, Irene Hilton and Lillian Clarke, have hit Hollywood! They are co- starring in a new production and have secured long term contracts. The outrageous chapeaux and dress designs one sees in the shop windows are the result of the efforts of Betty Thurston. She has her exclusive shop on Fifth Avenue and as private secretary, Irene Corbin. The well-known pessimist, Nettie Payne has taken Mr. Hayes position and now the Hayes Office” is the Payne Office.” Running for a sixth term as president of the S.P.C.A. is Virginia Weakley. She has a rest home for cats and dogs who have lost their minds and cannot find them. Dot Hitt is running opposite her on the Zig Ticket.” Emily O’Bannon and Anne Thomas are contesting for the title of the most well read woman in the U. S. The Greenland Restaurant, the largest in the state, has Marjorie Gilmore as its chief hostess. Secretary of the Treasury, Margaret Eggborn, has negotiated ninety trillion dollars for the new spending bill just passed. Esther Zeller has just made history by performing a major operation on herself and removing her brain. No one doubts the fact, though the remarkable results are documentary. Melvin Amos, lover of the Navy, is training mermaids and little fishes to help in the salvaging of sunken treasure. Mabel Berry has Culpeper’s largest undertaking business. Didn’t she undertake a job? This seemed to be the end of my searching. I closed Father Time’s book with a bang, which startled me into the realization that it was all merely a dream. Nevertheless, I could not help wondering and musing because, after all, it did sound logical. I placed the treasured photograph back among the papers and started downstairs to pack for my return trip to Par is where I design Glammer Gowns for Glamour Gals.” Leona Grimmelsman Betty Thurston Elizabeth Jones J51 h 9or Underclassmen Only Every senior class thus far, has found a sufficient number of useful articles in their midst to pass on to the underclassmen. The graduates of ’45 are no exception. After much rummaging around, we, too, discovered many interesting things to give away. W’ith the hope that there will be no hard feelings, for we certainly cast no aspersions, we continue: Duff Green leaves his get in there and fight spirit’’ to the next year’s team which plays Warrenton. Peggy Dinkel bequeaths her professional piano playing in assembly to Jimmy Ross. Margaret Eggborn wills her small” jobs of collecting to the coming treasurers. Virginia Jones wishes to leave her Southern drawl to Barry Peckham. Woods Stringfellow leaves his delicate appetite to Hunter Pope Hixson. Evelyne Booth wills her costume jewelry to Doris Myers. Irene Hilton’s ever ready smile is left to Willie Martin. Betty Thurston bequeaths her knack of writing to Margaret Jones. Roger Curtis commends to Chuck Haley his always neat and sporty appearance. Lorraine Taylor leaves her slimness to Marie Kibler. Leona Grimmelsman bequeaths her artistic talents to Elizabeth Edmondson. Barbara Rosson wills her love of mathematics to Robert Loving. Eugene Byram’s way with the women is left to Elmo Smoot. Ann Forbes hands down the maid’s part in the senior play to Inez Palmer. Irene Corbin wants to give a few locks of her abundant reddish hair to any redhead who is lacking. To Charles Chelf, President Ernest Smith of the F.F.A. leaves his interest in agriculture. Medaine Buderman relinquishes her flirtatious manner to Rita Mae Fletcher. Catherine Colvin commends her interest in Vint Hill to Harriet Brown. Elizabeth Green wills her friendly nature to Mary Lee Moore. Dot Hitt’s jitterbugging ability is left to Charles Brown (more power to you!) Dorothy Faulconer bequeaths her skill in sports to Eileen Bayley. Louise Leavell relinquishes her uncontrollable fits of giggling to Joyce Harlow. To Melvin Spicer, Charles William Hurt leaves his proper manner in glee club practices. Elizabeth Jones offers her love of languages to Cary Hill Humphries. Betty McMenzie hands down her studiousness to Ruth Thomas. To any one who can do as well, Claudine Weaver hands her job as cheer-leader. J32h 7or Underclassmen Only Barbara Myers bequeaths her love of books to Jimmy Towsey. Hazel Rosson leaves her lovable disposition to every one in school. Virginia Weakley and Sarah Robbins hand down their senior dignity to next year’s senior class. Mary C. Corbin gives a wee bit of her meekness to Mary Marshall Gilmore. Mabel Berry’s slow and deliberate ways are left to Jack Barber. Billy O’Bannon wills his agile ability on a basketball court to Egbert Tanner. Lillian Clarke leaves her pigtails to Kennon Eller. Alma Dodson bequeaths her love of the army to Ida Smith. Rebecca West’s five feet are left to Pollyanna Turner. Tom Edmondson very thoughtfully wills a big, healthful quart of milk to the student body with the hope that it will increase the number of five pointers. Esther Zeller wills her art of blushing to Kate Willis. Alice Donald leaves her snapshots to her sister Helen. Ruth Geil bequeaths her shyness to Peggy Jeffries. Melvin Amos and R. J. Inskeep leave their bright remarks in class to Billy Reams. To Nolie Towsey, Corrine Jenkins relinquishes her mild manner. Marshall Jenkins bequeaths (and is glad to get rid of) his nickname, Pieface,” to Jimmy Gorman. Nettie Payne wills some of her extra avoirdupois to Beatrice Clark. Stanley Rosenthal leaves his instrumental talents to Richard Herbert. Elizabeth Robert’s ability to tease the boys is left to Shirley Blue. Bobby Heflin’s smooth line is left to David Kelly. Anne Thomas wills her technique of cracking chewing gum to Miss Campbell’s math classes. Lucille Beahm, Edna Curtis, Thelma Tinder, Emily O’Bannon, and Marjorie Gilmore bequeath their fine art of salesmanship to next year’s D. E. class with the hope that it will be of use to them. Kenneth Woods, winner of the punctuality award, reluctantly passes it on to Henry Witten. Dorothy Watson bequeaths her unconcerned air to Kitty Williams. Thelma Hall leaves her tallness to Irma Lucas. Having thus distributed our findings, we as a class wish to bequeath to the graduat- ing seniors of ’46, the dignity, the privileges, the fun, and all of the work we have experienced this past school year. We also hope that they may enjoy these honors in a world of lasting peace. Tom Edmondson Elizabeth Roberts Esther Zeller [33 h Senior Play Our oivn ' Senior Family” presents “EVERY FAMILY HAS ONE” By George Batson The Reardons are a typical American family whose eccentricities, if hilarious, are only normal. Laura, the mother, played by Dot Watson, is a social climber who revels in her family tree.” She has engineered a match between her daughter, Marcia, portrayed by Elizabeth Roberts, and wealthy Sherwin Parker, Eugene Byram. The youngest, Pene- lope, Betty Thurston, is a demon with the piano and a sling-shot. Warry, Duff Green, is the only son who is positive he is the coming Eugene O’Neill. The father, Reginald, as played by Tom Edmondson, would rather tinker with automobiles than ticker tape, and Nana, Ann Forbes, who is the wise-cracking grandmother, is only concerned with Bing Crosby records and getting rid of the Parkers. Nana succeeds in doing this with the help of Cousin Lily, Leona Grimmelsman, the charming miss whose only desire is a stage career. Her performance as the skeleton in the closet is so convincing that Mr. Parker, Woods Stringfellow, and Mrs. Parker, Esther Zeller, together with their blue- blooded son, Sherwin, make a hasty exit back to society,” leaving Marcia to marry Todd Galloway, Charles Hurt. This makes just about everything as it should be,” as Essie, the maid, played by Evelyn Booth, would say.

Organizations We have come to realize this year more than ever that the world must inevitably be drawn into a closer bond of humanity as a result of this war. We know, too, that we shall be the ones to pull the world together and to unite its people. We have begun this work by participating in the activities of the Junior Red Cross, the Peper- gram, the Library Club, the S.C.A. and other organizations. We have endeavored to keep up with and understand current events and we have learned what we can of our responsibilities to society and ourselves. We have worked and we have learned; may the world profit by the train- ing we have received through our organizations. 1 Colonnade Staff Officers Elizabeth Jones Editor-in-Chief Irene Hilton Assistant Editor Margaret Eggborn Business Manager Stanley Rosenthal Circulation Manager Esther Zeller Assistant Editor Elizabeth Roberts Advertising Manager -i 38 i Colonnade Staff First row, left to right: Margaret Eggborn, Irene Hilton, Elizabeth Jones, Esther Zeller, Elizabeth Roberts, Stanley Rosenthal.

' ’ -chas.f?’ s ' r- - It has been said that Reading maketh a full man, conference a ready man, and writing an exact man.” With the last part of this quotation in mind the Pepergram Staff formulated its plans for 1944-45. Both editorial and business staffs, with respective memberships of 39 and 19, realized that, with the privilege of having a part in the production of the school’s monthly publication, went many responsibilities and hard work. One way in which they aimed at exactness was by a definite division of duties so that each person received training in that phase of work in which he was interested. Tom Edmondson served as editor-in-chief of the 1944-45 Pepergram, and Kate Willis and Betty Thurston were assistant editors. Those in charge of collecting material in various fields were: Suzanne Baker, as news editor; Lorraine Frye, as social editor; Ann Forbes and Mary Lee Moore, feature editors; Peggy Dinkel, activities editor; Stanley Rosenthal and Billy Button, sports editors; and Peggy Jeffries, service editor. New columns, features, and art added to the reader interest of the paper. Special columns were written by Cary Humphries, Margaret Jones, Ida Smith, Mary Marshall Gilmore, and Joanne Bailey. Leona Grimmelsman, staff artist, provided enlivening cuts for the paper. Dorothy Inskeep headed the business staff as business manager. Other members of the business staff included: Elizabeth Jones, as advertising manager; Margaret Eggborn, circulation manager; and Marshall Jenkins, stenographic editor. The members of the staff felt that, through the eight issues published this year, they had gained invaluable experience and had offered their subscribers much reading pleasure and a thorough coverage of school news.

HI-Y OFFICERS President ' Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Peggy Dinkel F iAZEL Rosson Ann Forbes Marjorie Payne The emblem of the Hi-Y is a triangle symbolizing the unity of mind, body, and spirit; and the purpose of the club is to create, maintain and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character.” In one word its purpose is service; service of a united group to its members, its school, community, nation, and to God. Its standards, clean thoughts, clean speech, clean scholarship, and clean sports- manship, have made the Hi-Y an effective force for character building and personality development. The club again adopted” an underprivileged child to whom were sent baskets at Thanksgiving and Christmas. Chapel programs were given for the student body each month, and in the spring the Bible study course was held. At least once a year the Hi-Y members, as a body, attended each of the local churches. The club was sponsored by Miss Mary Frances Sours, and Miss Ruth Campbell served as advisor. {43 J S, A- Council First rou, left to right: Tom Edmondson, Ann Forbes, Margaret Eggborn, Ida Smith.

With a deep realization and an awareness as to the vital role which music is playing in this world of turmoil and strife, the members of the Glee Club resolved to enrich and to add enjoyment not only to their own lives, but also, to the community and school experiences. Composed of seventy-six members, the Glee Club participated in varied programs: Navy Day, American Education Week, bond rally, school assemblies. Music Week, baccalaureate sermon, and commencement. Holly, pine, and the traditional candles set the background for familiar carols, special choral arrangements, and favorite solos which pervaded the air as once again at Christmas, peace on earth, good will to men” was sung.

The sound of the curtain being drawn and the Dramatic Club started on another school year. The season began with Wanted — A Turkey” under the direction of Miss Nancy Angell, our new sponsor, e progressed to For a Rainy Day,” a one act play. Next we presented our three act play Don’t Take My Penny” and several one act plays. The enthusiastic congratulations of our friends more than made up for all the minor mishaps; such as alarm clocks that didn’t go off on time, prompters who lost the place, furniture that fell apart, and all the other tragedies of producing plays. Even with these misfortunes the year proved a happy and successful one for us all.

OFFICERS President Margaret Eggborn Vice-President Pete Bragg Secretary-Treasurer Kate Willis Reporter Ida Smith Sponsor Miss Mary George Bolen Certain scenes flash across our memory at the mention of the Library Club, recalling its activities for the year. There was Margaret presiding over the monthly meetings and directing the various projects of the club. Pete was always present to take the chair should Margaret fail to show up — as if she would. Kate seemed to know how to extract dues painlessly even from the boys, and keeping the minutes, after ad libbing that first time when the meeting had been announced unexpectedly, was easy for her. Ida walked around periodically with a new book still in its jacket getting ready to write her review for the Pepergratn . Katherine and Suzanne boosted the club’s income by tu’ ning in orders for plants. Neat letters flowed from Elizabeth’s pen to make attractive posters. When Marv Lee and Kate were seen with the blue file and stacks of cards, it was a sure sign that they were adding names to the school’s roM of honor now mounting way over the 300 mark. Ruth kept the special files of book catalogs and college catalogs. Ida arranged the club’s annual assembly program, on which appeared Jimmy T., Tommy, Jimmy R., Elizabeth, Mary Lee, and Mary Marshall. The boys didn’t let us down this time. At the circulation desk the scene changed with each day and period, jack opened the doors, put out the flag, and took charge of the first period; Lucyle and Ann followed; Tommy served the third period. After lunch activity period gave everyone a chance to work — watch that schedule on the bulletin board or you will miss your assignment for work. Kenneth and Charles shared fourth period at the desk; David and Irene came fifth period; and Pete, Jimmy R., and Elizabeth finished out the day. The boys and girls of the Library Club performed these and many more activities in order to make the library an attractive place and to show ether students the joys and benefits to be derived from good books and reading.

The Blue Devils of C.H.S. have again seen a successful year of varsity football. They were led through hard-fought games by their captain, Woods Stringfellow. Now a senior, ' oods has been four years on the team and as guard, was the backbone of the line. Credit should also be paid to Tom Edmondson, right tackle, and Charles Hurt, left guard, for their skill in blocking and tackling. In the backfield, Duff Green and John Henry Brown have starred in passing and receiving. Mac Moore at left end, Teddy Domazet at right end, and Holly Lee Sisk at left tackle, each in his respective position has proved a valuable asset to the team. As center, Robert Lee Barfield has played more than any other lineman. Cary Humphries, fullback, and Orvil Painter, quarterback, have contributed much to the team’s work this year. All the substitutes have been extremely helpful to the Blue Devils, and it is up to them to replace the graduates of ’45. The managers, Dick Forbes, Jack Fincham, and John Flannery have worked hard and faithfully for the organization. Without the expert training of Coach Carter White, the members would not have been such a successful team. FOOTBALL SCORES DATE OPPONENT PLACE WE TH Sept. 29 Waynesboro .

Their cooperative attitude toward the school community in its project of publishing a yearbook is representative of the part world trade will play in building the peace. Universal and community commerce will form the threads of mutual respect and good will which will weave the pattern of world unity.

C. Saunders 211 North Seventh Street Richmond Virginia -{67h N the peace and stillness of a quiet afternoon the dav grows lazy and prepares for the restful night. Shadows lengthen and the slanting sun drifts through, painting stately columns gleaming white. The town clock bestirs itself to drop four deep notes like heavy weights into the liquid tranquillity of the scene. But the quiet surface of serenity is broken. Another sentence in the story that is school life is punctuated as stu- dents leave for home. And Time prepares to close his book of life until another school year is given us. 168 } ' CULPEPER TOWN AND COUNTY LIBRARY MAIN AND MASON STREETS CULPEPER.
