Due to the rising cost of food, the students paid 30 cents for lunch, an increase of five cents over the previous cost. The cafeteria received glass serving counters which added speed and efficiency to the cafeteria line. A cash register replaced the former method of having a student count the money in hopes of excelling the pace of serving. After using the cash register for a few weeks with- out improvement, the old method was restored. The two janitors cleaned the school daily. They also kept busy doing various odd jobs upon re- quest. Both adults and students drove buses. The stu- dents were excused from school fifteen minutes early so they could be ready for loading buses by 3:10. Mr. Arthur Scott, who started driving a carry-all in 1929, anticipated retiring. HE’LL SWEEP YOU OFF YOUR FEET- Mr. Ollie Robert- son frees a classroom floor from dust and dirt after school. 10

ENGLISH English Class Observes Professionals For the first time many students attended a dramatic -comedy performed by professional ac- tors when the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts pre- sented The Subject Was Roses . The professional cast and stage technicians toured Virginia using movable stage setting. All English classes except the freshman, attended the play. They studied the play before the performance, asked the actors questions, and took a test prepared by the Museum. Sophomore English students used a new vocab- ulary book. Unlike the former “Word Power Vocabulary” books with lessons organized by alphabetical order, they studied words arranged in groups with common definitions. English classes reduced in size due to an addi- tion to the faculty of the department. The teachers kept busy studying new textbooks in order to choose new books for next year. American literature was the topic of Junior English college preparatory studies. Eirst semester the classes wrote short stories; second semester they wrote research papers. The students bought Preparing the Research Paper, a small handbook, to guide them while preparing their papers. Senior students studied English literature. Those in the college preparatory program used The Scholastic Series, anthology of stories with a theme involving success. All college preparatory classes, except the eleventh grade students, studied Shakespearean plays. All classes were required to memorize a number of lines from the plays. “OH, YOU HAVE ONE — Miss Mildred Jones passes out the study guides to the stage play. The Subject Was Roses— In addition to being chairman of the English Department, Miss Jones teaches two classes each of Junior and Senior College Preparatory English. MONEYBAGS— Mrs. Aubrey Ross counts out the money for the evening dinner at SIPA. Mrs. Ross sponsors the Peper- gram and teaches four classes of English. When not thinking about her granddaughter, Mrs. Ross likes to play bridge. SNAP IN TIME— “The Spunkees of the Honors English class, composed of Robert Gore, Everette Mitchell, Crisler Lindsay, and Edward Garrison, perform an original ballad for a special Hamlet project. 12
