May this, our first edition of THE ARCHWAY, be an inspiration and pleasure to those who are to follow. May all occurrences here published serve as a re- minder of scenes, events, and faces of our associates at Dan River to those who are leaving to fill their vocation. May the readers of these pages have the deep feeling of love and loyalty toward school activities that we Seniors shall always possess. Recall those happy days as you turn the pages of this record. On: theme for this volume of THE ARCHWAY is the English language, giving herewith a small selection of outstand- ing writers who have contributed much to the growth of our won- derful language. No group this small can be complete, but Alfred the Great, Cynewulf, Chaucer, Spenser, and Shakespeare are rep- resentative of those writers, who through their abilities as authors and their diligent study, have caused the further development and perfection of the English language. We realize that we owe a great debt to those who have labored continuously in the task of preserving for us the most complete language in the world. There is no language so dear to us in ex- pression and deseription. With these attributes of language in mind and to prove our love for our mother tongue, we hereby pay tribute to the English language. Wedication hl this year of our Lord one thousand, nine hundred and thirty-six, We, the Staff, and Senior Class of Dan River High School To prove our appreciation Wish to dedicate this, our first edition of THE ARCHWAY to Miss Rury M. Myers Faculty Sponsor Dan River Higu ScuHoor Whose interest stays by our side Whose friendship always exists Whose kindness brightens the day Whose qualities declare success And whose service gives aid to all. Book One The School Alfred the Great Alfred the Great, the greatest and wisest king of England, came to the throne in 871. He was fitted both by temperament and training, to fight battles, to govern with a strong hand, to build up schools, and to en- courage literary activity. Alfred es- tablished schools, founded libraries, and brought noted scholars to his court. What little leisure he had from cares of State he devoted to the translation of books from Latin to Anglo-Saxon, Alfred _ cultivated friendly relations with literary and religious centers on the continent. With his national spirit and because of his unselfish character, his cour- age, wisdom and high patriotism, he was called ‘““England’s Darling.” Ghee Ger cw waa, 6 ore oO roao View of Dan River High School Transportation to and from Dan River High School G@he Arehwap for 1936 F.

He became a page at sixteen or seven- teen to Princess Elizabeth. Chaucer was a wide reader and a keen ob- server, and the best part of his edu- cation must have come through his general reading, his close observa- tion of busy life around him, and his extensive travels. He had _ studied Latin and French. In France, Chau- cer had seen the romantic art of war. As to his personality he was always an interested spectator of events, but somewhat apart from them.

As it turned slowly but surely we were initiated into the routine of work. May 12, 1933, brings us around one fourth of the Wheel; while during this time six of our group fell off, leaving fifty-eight old ones to start into the second year. The Sophomore year, like the Freshman year, was a quiet one. With the ex- ception of club work and athletics there was no excitement. For us the turn was very slow indeed. The next May, 1934, we noticed our wheel was rotating faster, in spite of the fact that more had dropped off. Only thirty-six were with us now; a few new ones, but mostly the same old bunch. This year a few medals were awarded. Dorothy June Davis won the English medal. The basketball team won the championship cup. During the same time the baseball team also won the championship cup. During the Literary Contest among the county schools, Dorothy Shelton and Lucy Ferguson won the county title in debating. For three years Dan River has stood at the top in basketball, for which we are proud. As we come to the end of another year we are about to reach the end of the Wheel. Not only two of our pupils fell off but three teachers and our principal, Mr. M. C. Davis, but when we started in our Senior year, Mr. P. A. Mickel and other teachers came to our rescue. Having so many new teachers the work was rather hard at first, but when we started the Wheel went faster and faster. We had only one fourth of the way to go as “Dignified Seniors.”” When the Wheel started its rotation we were anxious to reach the end: now as we are about to do so, a sad feeling steals over us. At the climax of the year, lessons were neglected for the Senior play, “Me, Him, and I.” After this came the Junior-Senior Banquet, and following this, the day which all Seniors look forward to—Commencement Day. The Wheel was about to come to a stop. One by one we were given a diploma, the receipt for our service on the Wheel of Education. But this stop was only the first one, for after leaving this Wheel we join the Wheel of Vocation. L. Fercuson, Historian. 16 The Arehbwap for 1936 SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Son beautiful, and sentimental music slowly floods the living room of the bunglow located near Dan River. The room is decorated with colorful flowers and beautifully woven tapestries. Gazing into the living room one can see an elderly couple sitting by the glowing fire, having after-dinner coffee. The handsome old man is thinking of days gone by. One can clearly see by the expression on his face, that his memories are of the old Senior Class of ’36, It is only natural that he should speak first of the sponsor, Mrs. Chenault. He asked his wife, “Do you suppose Mrs. Chenault has found a man that she can truly believe what he says, although thirty years have passed and time changes things?” The next thought is of the President, Junior Yeatts, he was a happy-go-lucky lad. Now just what has become of him? Ah! Junior is manager of the Belk-Leggett Store in South Boston. The elderly couple could never forget their classmates, especially Evelyn Hard- ing, who is a dietitian in a hospital in New York; nor Lucy Ferguson, who is a splendid nurse in St. Francis Hospital in South Carolina. They had to laugh when they thought of Cornelia Dodson, the little girl who is a famous radio violinist and whose chords thrill thousands of people; and to think that Garnett Riddle has only a few nights before playing her latest composi- tion on one of the largest organs in New York. It does not startle the couple to think of B. C. Starkey as an aviator, for he has made the best record of a ll pilots, including this year of ’66. As the eyes of the mediator wondered about the room they were brought to a focus on the west side of the wall, for there hang a masterpiece of Elise Patter- son, a famous artist. The butler enters the room and habitually turns the dial to Station WEAF, as his employer always listens to Polly Barker’s Peter Pan stories, told to an audience of happy children. As the story ends, he picks up a paper and opens it to the social column. He discovers that Clarabel Wells has married a rich man in North Carolina. Rosa Slayton is a big actress in New York. Billie Wiles is imitating Bing Crosby over the radio. The doorbell rings and immediately the butler announces the arrival of a guest, a very, very old man now, Mr. Mickel. They proceed into the living room and Mr. Mickel tells the news concerning the Class of 36. Margaret Wilkerson has married a farmer and living in the country, having a gay time raising chickens and pigs The Arecehwayp for 1936 Harold Dyer, a big basketball player with a league team, is getting ready to go to the Olympics; and what do you think? Helen Mays is going with him! Earl Franklin has become quite rich in the tobacco business, and gives the Dan River High School a big bus. At last Margaret Dodd and Bernice Oakes’ dreams have come true, for both of them are married and living in Richmond, Va. Frances Riddle has just finished a library course and is now a librarian in Richmond, Va. Dorothy Bennett, after an extensive travel, has returned to her old home town and has settled down to be an old maid. Mr. Mickel finishes his breathless account with the news of receiving a letter from Robertson Bennett, asking for references. Robertson is sure of securing the position as joke editor of The Literary Digest. After spending an enjoyable hour Mr Mickel, with the aid of his chauffeur, enters the car and speeds away. Arriving home his butler announces that four, on their way to aaaee were very sorry to have missed him, but left cards. Mr. Mickel discovers they were none other than Thelma Davis, Helen W alton, Helen King, and Ruby Wiles. The two occupants of the bungalow continue to discuss their classmates. They recall that Daisy White and Hlah Mills are beauty specialists in New York. As thirty years have passed, just what has become of the dignified Seniors, Alma Walters, Esther Shelton, and Gladys Hall? Ah, yes! They are in Washing- ton, holding governmental positions. Frances Oakes is a nurse at Duke Hospital and is still in love with Willard Jeffries, now a doctor there. After a tender good night the wife rises, walks to the bookcase and replaces a famous novel she has just read. The author being one of her classmates, Carolyn Sams heG De The glowing logs having burned, crumbled and dropped one by one and the embers are growing cold. His wife, Mary Davis, glances at the old grandfather clock and is startled to see that it is 11:30. She reminds her husband, Ryland Groff, of the hour. Ryland taps the ashes from his pipe, yawns and enters the bedroom. ; ey : ‘ lhey had spent an enjoyable evening in the land of happiest memories. NV. JEFFRIES.

To all later poets his verse became the fountain of ineffable beauty. Spenser was descended from gentle blood and his temperament was aristocratic. He had warm friends at court, but he had neither the wealth nor the talent for affairs to become himself a suc- cessful courtier. His supreme work was “The Faerie Queene” which is “full of sounds and sweet airs that give delight and hurt not.” The writer under the spell of the Italian Renaissance is above all else the poet of pure beauty. Spenser is called “the poet’s poet.” Ghee 1Aerac hatusaepy Sion eles ao 1936 “BLUE LINERS” The Dan River High School “Blue Liners” finished a very successful season for 1935-36. Despite the usual minor injuries and much sickness in the school they were able to master the opponents in the county and go to the finals in the District Tournament. The entire squad participated in securing warm-up suits for every member. The “Squad Banquet” was held at the school on the night of March 11, and was one of the school term’s most delightful affairs.

His work may therefore be considered under two divisions: Drama, and Non-dramatic Poems. Shakespeare was an Elizabethan. He began his writing during Elizabeth's reign. Many of his scenes were laid in his home town of Stratford, on the winding Avon, the forest of Ar- den. Shakespeare is remembered to- day as one of the outstanding Eng- lish writers. To him we owe a great debt. Front Row: Nancye Haymes, Jack Gilbert, Frances Oakes, B. C. Starkey, Carolyn Sams, Junior Yeatts, Margaret Compton.

THE SENIOR CLASS PLAY “Me, Him, and I’ () N April 1, 1936, the Senior Class of Dan River High School put forth, with great effort, the class play (““Me, Him, and I’). The play was sponsored by Mrs. Chenault who was splendid in advising the characters, and who was determined to see it carried out in a successful way. Miss Ruth Myers also gave her much appreciated assistance to the sponsor and the cast. The cast showed great cooperation and made this night one of the successful nights of Dan River High School. 48 The ArehHway for 1936 To a summer resort comes Thomas Smith (Willard Jeffries) and his wife (Frances Oakes), Richard Brown (B. C. Starkey, Jr.) and his bride (Evelyn Harding), and Harry Jones (Earl Franklin), to visit his fiancee (Cornelia Dodson ). Tom has come for his vacation and Richard, a famous picture star, brings his bride, hoping for some privacy from adoring fans and a curious public. Besides seeking the company of his fiancee, Harry’s visit to the resort is to escape a love-sick old maid (Garnett Riddle), who is determined to marry him. Richard and Harry assume disguises to prevent recognition and it so happens that both their disguises look exactly like Tom in real life. Tom and his wife, Leona, have been happily married for years and are childless. Tom’s uncle from Texas (Robertson Bennett), writes that he will leave his money to Tom’s son and heir, should he ever have one. As Tom hasn’t seen his uncle in years feels there is no chance of the uncle ever coming North, he writes that he is the proud father of a grown son. Uncle is elated and decides to come to see the boy. Chaos reigns, and in despair Tom presses the bellboy, Tommy (Junior Yeatts), into service as his son. Due to the disguises the bellboy, at various times, mistakes both Richard and Harry as his “Dad” thus throwing Richard’s bride and Harry’s fiancee into hysterical rage. H is fiancee’s mother (Margaret Wilkerson), aids her daughter by kind, gentle words. The actresses (Dorothy Bennett and Mary Davis), help to spread messages by their learnings between the scenes in which mistakes are made concerning Richard, Harry, and Tom. The love-sick old maid arrives and learning of Harry’s disguise, mistakes both Tom and Richard. After a short stay, she leaves, very discouraged and heart- broken due to the fact that she could not win Harry’s affection. Now that she has gone Harry and Richard rid their resembling disguises and become recognized by their lovers as they appeared in real life. Tom’s uncle learns the secret which has be en hidden from him about the bell- boy, during the turmoil caused by disguises. He decides to carry the bellboy with him to Texas which pleases the boy very much. The couples are at last drawn happily together, as the love-sick old maid has journeyed on away. 49 (UG Mees chrereai in) Gly si nhar ih ts) “Tf a laddie meets a lassie Comin’ thru the Rye.” (Left to Right): Everett Wilkerson, Elreese Terry, Mattie Dodson, Virginia Slayton, Marjorie Lunsford, Virginia Walton, Lois Neal, Warner Moorefield, Mary Barker, Victoria Roberts, John Richardson, Doris Cassada, and Jack Clark. JUNIOR CLASS PLAY “Comin Thru the Rye” | aise fall the Class of “37 ambitiously accepted a distinct privilege. Mr. Mickel gave his consent to a Junior Class play; and due to the persuasiveness of the class, this led to a responsible undertaking by Mr. Colonna, our class sponsor. Play rehearsals extended over a period of about a month before the actual presentation. Bad weather, basketball games, and other school activities gave us plenty of competition and made it difficult for us to schedule regular rehearsals. But now, as we look back upon it, we realize that the fruits of a hard-earned vic- tory are best. All in all, it was a test’ of true cooperation and good sportsmanship on the part of all those who took part. Friday, December 19th, was the great day. “Comin’ Thru the Rye’’ was pre- sented at eight o'clock to a large and enthusiastic audience in the school auditorium. The setting of the play was Rye, a small town in the midwest. Old Silas Stonebraker (Warner Moorefield), proprietor of an ancient and dilapidated hotel, lived there with his attractive young daughter, Libby (Marjorie Lunsford). Lack of patrons made life dreary and sombre for Silas. His poverty made him fretful; and matters were becoming constantly worse. The bright, sunny disposition of Libby was the one saving grace of the establishment. Jessie Weatherby (Virginia Slayton), a neighborhood gossip, a lady of uncertain age, was a frequent visitor ; but, alas, she was not the paying kind. She came peddling—and her wares con- 50 The Arehwayp for 1936 sisted solely of gossip. But Jessie had another side to her personality. A streak of homely romance in her made it quite plain to Silas that she thought he needed a wife (Libby’s mother had died some years previously ). Harvey Keyser (John Richardson) was the village capitalist and an eligible young man, in love with Libby and confident of winning her, especially since Sie was deeply in his debt. But Lily Turner ( Mattie Dodson had other plans for Harvey. Her cap was set decidedly i in his direction. It was she who caused Harvey many anxious moments when Libby was around. Several days before Christmas the west-bound bus was stalled in a snow drift just outside of Rye. The passengers, compelled to stay at Silas’s hotel, swallowed their disappointment at not getting home for the holidays (worse than that, though, was having to stay in such a dull, uninteresting hotel!). The plot of the play, how- evene is developed from the quite interesting and surprising incidents that took place there. Among the bus passengers were Mrs. Mearson (Virginia Walton), a wealthy widow from Denver, and her flirtatious daughter, Rosamund (Doris Cassada) ; then, there was James Kearney (Jack Clark), an ex-sailor on his way home. He immediately became the target of Rosamund’s love-sick eyes and “come hither” glances. But as for James, when he first saw Libby, Rosamund became just another girl in a sailor’s life. The ex-sailor had met his lassie (see cut) and another case of love at first sight was ready for the story books. This was all ex tremely annoving to Rosamund. Harvey, of course, gave a dissenting vote also, continually remind- ing our hero that the liberties he was taking with Libby “weren't customary in these parts.” Trixie Angel (Lois Neal), something of an antithesis of her name, was another passenger. Trixie’s baby talk and motherly affection for her “ittie Bubbles” (Bubbles was her dog), brought forth many laughs from the crowd. There were two college chums along, Rosalie Reed (Mary Barker) and Monica Morrison (Victoria Roberts), who found the experience of being snowbound a thrilling ad- venture. The last passenger was a suspicious-looking character, Ronald ‘Tanner (Elreese Terry), who kept to himself, preferring the solitude of his room to the societv of Silas’s hotel. He was later sought for and accused of a holdup by Sheriff Haskins (Everett Wilkerson) of Rye. It turned out, however, that he was innocent, but afraid of circumstantial evidence because a ‘“‘buddy”’ had killed a man ina “stick-up.” James’s love for Libby proved to be sincere and strong enough to overcome the jealousy and scheming of Harvey. He brought Silas out of Harvey’s debt and decided to buy an interest in the hotel and, thus, to prolong his stop-over in Rye for life, tied to Libby. Lily kept her Harvey, and Silas seemed pretty sure of getting, whether he wanted her or not, our friend Jessie. In a key of happiness and hopefulness the play ended to the merry old tune sung by James to Libby: “T got the sweetest girl on earth While comin’ thru the Rye.” The play, having proved as great a financial, as it was a dramatic success, the class treasury assumed an added dignity. The presentation aided the Juniors materially in providing royal entertainment for the Seniors at the traditional banquet.

Bass Scene: The sitting room of the Long farmhouse near Centerville, Indiana. fl Ba) Ray AZEL Long (Evelyn Harding), the only child of a backwoods Indiana farm couple, Sarah (Lucy Ferguson) and Silas Long (Robertson Bennett), tires of country life. She receives little sympathy from her parents, especially her father, who refuses to leave the old farm because he believes some Eastern men are interested in a rock quarry, which partly lies under his farm, and which was partly worked by the Hamilton Quarry Company several years ago. Hazel meets Richard Biltmore (B. C. Starkey, Jr.), a stranger from the city. They fall in love with each other. This is an awful thing, according to Minnie Hall (Carolyn Sams), the neighborhood gossip. However, Hazel’s parents finally permit the stranger to come to see her. Hazel insists upon receiving Richard in city style, so she makes the family “doll up.” She dresses Hank (Warner Moorefield), the hired man, as butler, and Lizzie (Rosa Slayton), the hired girl, as maid. They all appear much out of place in their costumes. Everything is set to receive Richard, who finally appears, but informally dressed. Imagine the family’s embarrassment, since they expect him in evening attire! But that isn’t all! The maid falls for Richard and the fun begins. Minnie, the gossip, calls, and the evening becomes a scream. Next morning the maid is missing and so is Richard. The whole country is in arms. In the meantime, Dave Hinkle (Harold Dyer), an old miser, calls to collect the mortgage on Long’s farm. Richard returns, however, just in time to save the old home by paying Silas $15,000 for rock that will be taken from his farm. Lizzie is discovered by Hank in the hay loft asleep. Of course Richard marries Hazel, and Minnie marries Dave. These give Lizzie and Hank an idea! 52 The Arehbwap for 1936 CALENDAR Sept. 17—Many regrets. School started. Sept. 23—Senior Class organized.

Lovely weather, isn’t it?” Mary Davis: “How much are these apples?” MercHaAnn: “Fifteen cents a peck, mam!” Mary: “The idea! What do you think I am? A bird?” Mr. Bass: “Come in the barn, Billy, and I’ll teach you how to milk a cow.” Bitty Wines: “But I haven’t had any experience, don’t you think I’d better begin iia ecalten, Margarette Dodd and Bernice Oakes were sitting by the fire on Christmas Eve, chatting gayly; the following conversation was heard: MARGARETTE: “Would a stocking hold all you want for Christmas ?” Bernice: “No! But a pair of men’s socks would.” Mrs. CHENAULT: “Evelyn, is that you sneezing, honey ?” EVELYN (crossly): “No! I’m not sneezing honey, I’m sneezing sneeze. What do you think my nose is, a beehive?” Atvin McNeety: “Miss Richardson, Howe and I are going to the zoo to see the monkeys.” Miss Ricuarpson: “Why, Alvin! Imagine wanting to go to the zoo to see the monkeys when Mr. Colonna is here.” Kar BECKNER: “Beverly tried to put his arm around me five times last night.” Dor Grocan: “Oh, boy! Some arm, I’d say!” Mr. Bennett visited Robertson a few days ago here in the biology class. Robertson was busily engaged in looking for a universal solvent. “What's that you’re trying to find?” asked Mr. Bennett. “A liquid that will dissolve anything,” he was told. “That’s a great idea,” agreed Mr. Bennett, “and when you find it, what are you going to keep it in?” Earr, FRANKLIN: “I had grand luck today—shot seventeen ducks.” RytANp Grorr: “Were they wild?” Eart: “No, but the owner sure was.” Miss Myers: “Jack, do you use tooth paste on your teeth?” JAck CLARK: “No mam, what for? My teeth ain’t loose!” CHARLIE (the janitor—to eldest son): “I heard you was married. Is you?” Son (sassily) : “I ain't saying I ain’t.” CHARLIE (severely) : “I ain’t asked you is you ain’t; I ask you ain’t you is.” 54 Caipeeee Aetecetisivea po) tot 8 1 9°3 6 Mrs. CHENAULT (watching agriculture boys at work): “What is that peculiar odor coming from this field?” Haroip Dyer: “That’s fertilizer.” Mrs. C.: “Oh! For the land’s sakes.” Haroitp Dyer: “Yes, mam!” CLARABEL WELLS: “I want a new pair of shoes dad!” Dap: “Are your others worn out?” CLARABEL: “Worn out? Why the soles are so thin I can step on a dime and tell whether it’s heads or tails.” B. C. Srarkey (in barber shop getting a shave) : “Give me a glass of water, please!” BARBER (realizing he has been cut in several places) : “You aren’t going to faint are you?” B. C.: “No! I just wanted to see if my mouth would still hold water.” Rosa SiAyton: “Nothing gives the thrill of those three little words, ‘I love you’.” Mr. SiAyton: “How about those three little words, ‘Inclosed find check’ ?” A few days ago Esther Shelton made the following remark to her chum, Ruby Wiles: “A chicken is a curious bird; ain’t they? They’s good to eat before they’s born, and good to eat after they’s dead.” AuMA WALTERS (to small brother): “Willie, run down to Helen’s and see how old Mrs. Bennett is.” Wile: “Sis, Mrs. Bennett says it’s none of your business how old she is.” MARGARET WILKERSON: “Helen, here is a little green snake!” HELEN WALTON: “Well, don’t you dare touch him, he may be as poisonous as a ripe one!” Miss VapeNn: “Helen, won’t you have chicken nor ham?” HELEN Mayes (eating corn on cob): “No thanks! But you may pass me some more beans on a stick.” TnnAH Mints: “I wouldn’t marry the best man in the world.” GiApy s Hari: “What? You aren’t a man-hater, are you?” InnAH: “By no means! But the best man in the world would be so pious that I couldn’t find anything to fuss at him about.” Tramp (at Carolyn’s home): “I ain’t got no friend nor a relative in the world, Miss!” CAROLYN SAMS: “Well, I’m giad there’s no one to worry over you in case you get hurt, so get away now. Sic him, Rover! Sic him!” Mr. Bass: “You boys of today want to make too much money. Say, do you know what l was getting when I married your aunt?” WILLARD JEFFRIES: “No, and I bet you didn’t either.” Mary Davis: “Aren’t you feeling well, dear ?” RytAnp GrorF: “Nope! Late some German noodles and French fried potatoes for supper, and | might have known they couldn’t agree.” B. C. StarKkety: “Those words mean fight where I came from.” Haroip Dyer: “Well! Why don’t you fight then?” B. C.: “Because I’m not where I came from.” 55 (Ub A te eobte tail Gitiy 1) ) 2) EvELYN Harprnc: “If you kiss me, I shall yell for help.” CaARROLI, SHELTON: “O,. K. After I kiss you, if you think I need any help, go ahead and yell.” E,REESE Terry: “Had you rather a snake bite you or a turtle?” Loris Neat: “I rather the snake bite the turtle.” Miss RicHArpson : “Margaret, what is the best way to prevent diseases caused by biting insects ?” MarcGArE?T Compton: “To stop biting the insects.” Miss Myers: “Virginia, give me a sentence using the word “tariff.” VIRGINIA SLiAytToNn: “My skirt is so tight that it’ll tariff I bend.” RyiANp GrorF: “Have you heard about the lipstick Helen King uses?” B. C.: “Sure, it’s on everybody’s lips.” HeELEN Kine: “Lucy, you’re too conceited about your looks.” Lucy: “Why, not at all. I don’t think I’m half as good looking as I really am.” Bersy Weis: “Why did you sit out every dance last night?” Dorts CAssApA: “Because my feet were killing me!” Bersy: “Do they feel better today ?” Doris: “Yes! But two of my ribs are cracked.” Ropertson Bennerr: “Mr. Bass, may I pull down this shade? The sun is shining in on me.” Mr. Bass: “No, leave it up! The sun ripens green things.” ‘WARNER Moorerienp: “Do you like to play with blocks ?” Potty Barker: “No! Not since I’ve grown up.” Warner: “Then why are you forever scratching your head?” DorotHy BENNeETYr: “Give me a sentence using ‘justice,’ Junior.” Junior Years: “I'd just as soon kiss you as not.” Frances Rippie: “I’ve justi come from the beauty parlor.” THELMA Davis: “You have? Well, you didn’t get waited on, did you?” Daisy Wuitr (to Earl): “If you were my husband, I’d give you poison!” Ear, FRANKLIN: “Yeah? And if I were your husband I’d want to die, so I’d take it.” Juntor YEATTs (at Belks) : “These are especially strong shirts, mam. They simple laugh at the laundry.” Mrs. Micke: “I know that kind. I had some which came back with their sides split.” Mr. Mickey: “What is your age, Evelyn?” EveELYN Harpinc: “Eighteen and some months.” Mr. Mrcken: “How many months?” Evetyn: “A hundred and twenty.” Mrs. CHENAULT: “Billy, did you see that pile of wood in the yard?” Bruty WiLES: “Yes’m, I seen it!” Mrs. C.: “Oh, such grammar! You mean you saw it, Billy.” Bitty: “No’m, you saw me see it, but you didn’t see me saw it.” 56 Che A rehinayp “for 193 6 Mrs. Micke: “You never take any good advice!” Mr. Micxer: “No! If I did, you'd still be an old maid.” Mr. Bass: “What does the average boy want to be when he grows up?” RytAnp GrorF: “A boy again!” Enrse Parrerson: “Of course, that story about the Smiths is just between us two.” GARNET? Ripple: “Yes, and between us two it ought to get a pretty wide circulation.” Ryland Groff had just arrived in the U. S. from Ireland, and Earl Franklin, a friend, was attempting to show him the wonders of the new country. Presently they came to a per- simmon tree, and Earl picked several ripe persimmons and gave them to Ryland, explaining how delicious the fruit of America was. Ryland reached up and got another one, thinking that it was also ripe, but unfortunately it was a very green one. Ryland ate it and in a second he gasped and called to Earl, “If you want me to tell you anything, you'd better ask me quick, because I’m closing up fast.” FrANcES OAkes: “Willard, how many kinds of wood are used to make a match?” WILLARD JEFFRIES: “Two. She would and he would.” Mr. Bass: “Robertson! Are you familiar with all mules?” RoBertsON BENNET?Y: “No sir! You bet I ain’t! I got too much horse sense to get familiar with a mule.” Lucy Frercuson: “You should have seen Clarabel’s face light up!” HERMAN FeErcusoN: “Why? Did you touch off the powder?” Carroit Corie: “Sammy, you spend too much money in getting your palms read.” CAROLYN SAMs: “And deary, you spend too much money in getting your nose red.” VISITING SPEAKER At D. R. H. S.: “Friends, I am here to save the girls of your school!” C. P. WEtLs (in hurry to leave): “That’s'O. K. Save me q blonde, will ya?” Because you have occasional spells of despondency, don’t give up. The sun has a sinking spell every night but it rises all right the next morning. Miss Myers: “Who can give me a sentence containing the word ‘insulate’ ?” Jack Girpert: “I can! At breakfast this A. M. Mother asked Dad, ‘How come you got insulate’ ?” Mrs. CHENAuL?T: “Oh! Here is a letter bordered in black. Poor Uncle Herby is dead.” Frances OAKES: “How do you know it’s your Uncle Herby?” Mrs. CHENAuLT: “Well, don’t you reckon I know his handwriting?” Harold Dyer had taken his girl friend to lunch and she had spoken to a nice looking man at the next table. “Ts that man a friend of yours?” asked Harold. “Yes,” she replied. “Then I think I'll ask him to join us.” “Oh! Harold, this is so sudden!” “What’s sudden?” “Why ... why! He’s our minister!” 57 Ohe Are h weap. foo tet Onno Fraternity, College and Class Jewelry Commencement Announcements, Invitations, Diplomas @ a) Jeweler and Stationer to the Senior Class of Dan River High School ay = L.
