THE TIGER C'LASS PROPHECY It was in the month of July, 1955, I had been ieading my annual and had dozed off. It seemed as if I were back at Cordonsville High, where I had spent so many pleasant as well as unpleasant hours. I was startled in my sleep, as of old, by the ringing of the fourth period bell. But as the cobwebs cleared from my mind I realized that it was the ringing cf the telephone. It was the bus station informing me that the bus which I was to take for a tour of the western states was scheduled to leave in an hour. As the streamlined model began to gather erred even around the dan- gerous curves. it reminded me of an old student at school that drove like that. I glanced at the dr'ver. it cruldn't l'e. Eut ves. who else in the world could keep every hair in place like that? It was Charles Vantrea-'e We began dis- cussing the old classmates. ,Ravmdnd Allmon had mar ifd Claribelle and they had settled down on a farm on Dennv's Branch. Pavmond's oldest son was driv- ing the school bus to dear old G.H.S. During a five minute stop I was glancing through a current maga'ine and by chance noticed a photcgravh of a young man with a marvelous nhvsique under which was written. I was formerly a 97 pound weakling. Let Hugh CTarzanj Winf ee rrake a new man out of you in ten days. At Memphis. Tennessee a lanky fashionablv groomed passenger with a large suitcase boarded our bus and leisurelv produced his ticket much to the dis- gust of cur speed crazed driver. I recovnized him at once as Leon tRumsoakJ Hickey, and he was selling light bulbs throughout the country. He informed me that Kenneth Tavlo' was teaching toe dancing. expression and hem stitching at Carthage High School and also that Jack McKinney was athletic director and volley ball coach at St. Mary's School. lt seemed that the love bug had refused to leave Cordell Moore and Claudine Winfree and they had become partners for life. While we were stopped at Iittle Rock, who would I see but Lee Dawson I-lolleman. He had been hailed from coast to coast as the greatest hitch hiker of all times. I spent the night in Kansas Citv. While there I went to the picture show and as the curtain rose, a chfrus of girls came dancing out. I rubbed my eyes for among them in scantv costumes were Otis Lawrence, Rubye Williams and Ethel Baker. The vaudeville was finally over the the main show was on. It was a western two-gun thriller, called Burn 'em Up Kyle featuring Hall Kyle of guita: picking fame. As I got on the bus I saw a gigantic fat man. It was Robert Harper. He was the fattfst man on earth and was with Rogers Greater Shows. As we stopped in a little country tcwn I 'noticed a medicine show going on. It was Carolyn Sullivan selling salves that would cure snake bites. fallen arches, bow legs and pink tooth brush. Carolyn told me that Glenn Watts and Gladys 'Compton were dealers in second hand junk and radios at Stonewall. Juanita Bafrett was teach- ing tap dancing and horseback riding at Temperance Hall and Frances Gwaltney was running a tea room in Pumkin Hollow, lnd'ana. I was told that W. L. Turner. Jr.. was a piano tuner and that it paid to get a new piano when he got thrcugh with it. And that Raymond Phillips is on an island in the South Seas studying the STARS, did I say stars? After seeing what each of the students had amounted to, I thought, you can never tell what tomorow will bring. -MARY DAVIS -19.- THE TIGER CEASS w1LL We, the Senior Class if Gordonsville High School, 1941. being sound and disposing memory, on leaving this institution of higher learning, do hereby make known oui last testament to take effect after graduation. We, the Senior Class, do vgill to the Senior Class of 1942 the ability to get to the kitchen first. But please don't run over the poor little Freshmen.

We will to the class our happy years at this, our Alma Mater, and hope that your school years will be as happy as ours have been. ...11.. THE TIGER INSIGNIA Many students leave school without thinking what school has really meant. Othels consider it more thoroughly, thinking of the circumstances that could have never been met without an education. A number of subjects available in school teach us how to solve diffi- cult problems. Taking two of the subjects into consideration: First let us take mathematics, it teaches us to think more clearly and quickly. English helps us to speak the proper words at the proper time. Many improvements have taken place in this school that will con- tribute much to the progress of its students. The establishment of a type- wxiting system will enable many students to enter into the business world who are Unable to go further in their education. The construction of a new science and home economics laboratory has proven very beneficial to most of the students. School is a place where associations and new acquaintances take place. Friends are made that we treasure for the rest of our lives. The Senior Class has gained much in attending and associating with the faculty and student body which will prove very beneficial to them in the future. The establishment of a music department aids in the acknowledg- ment of the talented vocal abilities of its participants. We cannot let this moment pass without expressing our gratitude for all you have done foi us. The very fact that we are going cn, speaks very highly of how well you, our teachers, have done your work and how fine has been the spirit of this school. We hope that we shall go forth and do you honor in the years to come. ' -ETHEL BAKER ...12-. THE .TIGER VALEDICTORY The time has come for us, the graduating class of 1941, to face the fact that we are going on, and leaving for all time, these teacheis, whom we -have learned to love, and our fellow schoolmates and companions with whom we will never again be associated in just the same way. The thought cf parting, strange as it may seem, brings us feelings of sadness and gladness We are sad when we remember that this chapter of life's book is ended, that we are turning our faces toward new scenes and new associa- tions. We shall always hold in mind tenderly and gratefully, all these years have meant to us all they have brought us, all they have taught us. Never can we get away from the influence, the example, the interest, and the guidance of these years, and in saying farewell to you, our beloved instructors and leaders, we say it with deep gratitude and stirring emotion. We hope that we shall go foxth and do you honor in the years to come and that your 'nterest will follow us wherever we gc. We are glad that we are going forward, for we know that we must make room for those who come afte us. We are glad that further privileges await us. We are glad that we ,have measured up, in some degree, at least to the expectation and hopes of our parents, who have coveted the best for us, and been ready to sacrifice countless times that we might progress this far. And so, tonight we stand on a mountain peak. Four years we labored up the slope and tonight we look, as eveiy traveler does behind us, and before us. Behind us lies the pleasant valley of elementary school and the gentle slopes of high school, which seemed so rough and thorny as we passed through. But now, looking backward, the green leaves and red roses h'de the thorns. Then we look forward. Did we expect to see a valley in front of us? No-more hills to climb, but the journey's climax, when we pick the apples of success on the highest peak, that is our goal. So, we look tonight, backward a shot while, then, eyes fixed on new fields, we set out into the future. What does this future hold for us? Will the gentle breeze of universal love blow away the dark war clouds, and let in the sun of peace? The great men and wise men have put their heads together and reached the agreement that the future looks dark. that civilization will crumble and decay, and war will continue to infest the world. But we, the youth of America, see no such dark picture. We see a new world. a world of peace, of equality, of charity, of op- portunity. We have the vision of the world we want and we here, tonight rc- solve that it shall be a ieality. Do not say in your heart that 'I speak idle words. What I have said is in the heart and mind, and is the aim and prayer of every young American tonight And so to us the future dcesn't look dark, for we know that right does triumph over might, and that the mill of God grinds slow but exceeding fine. We have an unfaltering faith in mankind and we believe in democracy, in our democracy, in the United States of America. We have caught the gleam that fell on Washington and Jefferson, and Patrick Henry. We be- lieve in America. Therefore this class is optimistic as to its future. We know that golden apples don't just fall into one's lap. The way w'll certainly be hard, but we shall succeed. We do not expect too much, and we will not be disappointed by adversity. We know what we want and will labor to that end. We realize that only part of aimor of knowledge has been buckled on, but we glory in the fact that we have progressed thus far. And so, as we go out tonight, our hearts overflow with sadness and glad- ness. Words cannot express our gratitude to each and all of you. Thus, with a tear in our eye, and a smile on our lips, we bid you a heartfelt farewell. -RAYMOND PHILLIPS ,. 13 ,.- THE TIGER SALUTATORY The English language is quite inadequate to express to you how welcome you are at this time. We are glad you are here. As spoksman for this class, I voice its earnest sentiment when I say that we are rich indeed to have so gcodly a number of those who have watched our progress, regretted our fafluxes, kept on having faith in us when we struggled to our feet again, and who are here today to rejoice that we have finally made the grade. If it had been for you our parents, relatives, loyal friends. and those who have been willing to invest thei: funds in great educaticnal institutions for the advancement of civilization, we should not stand here tonight, just inside of the Open Door to Life and its realities. We welcome you here tonight, and we hope you feel repaid for having come, if no more than by the knowledge that we, the Class of 1941, feel highly honored by your interest and presence. We shall go forward always knowing that you are our friends, that ycu will still watch what we are doing, and how well we are doing it, and be ready to rejoice with us when the boys and girls of this dear old school reflect glory upon it by the worthy part we are able to take in the world's work. Oui forward march must be conducted with growing intelligence, and we hope that we shall be gifted with such calmness of judgment and wisdom as has marked the careers of those who are carrying the burden of the worlds work to- day. At one time they stood where we stand at the part'ng of the ways, and they too had their friends, good friends of course, even as we have ours. The leadezs and diplomats of tomorrow will come from the young and ambititous boys and girls. such as we. We are indeed grateful for the start that you, our friends, have given us. We are encouraged and stimulated by your faith in us. The clasp of your hands, what you say and what you feel but do not always express, mean much to us who are going forth to undertake new tasks. We shall strive to make you feel in the yeats to come that these were golden days for both you and for us. And we want you to remember that whatever we undertake will be better done and more cons:ient'ously and intelligently performed because you have been and are our friend. We know full well that we are young and inexperienced and immature. We cannot help that. Time alone will remedy all this and we are not wishing the plecious golden days away, for we love our youth and its privil- eges, opportunities and dreams-even as you did in the days of long ago. We hope that some time we shall gather in this same spot, to talk and laugh over the golden days now drawing to a close. That you may meet with us, for without you, our friends, that gathering would nct be complete. We vselcome you here,,not in a perfunctory manner but from the depth of our heaits. We are going on, and we shall be accompanied by the cheering memory of this gathering and all it stands for. We would bespeak your inter- est and confidence in those who will coxre after. In their name. as well as in our own, we salute and thank you, that you have turned aside long enough to bless us with your presence. -'CORDELL MOORE ..14.. THE TIGER CLASS HISTORY It has often been remarked that history has a peculiar way of repeating itself, and so to a certain extent the history of this class is much like the history of classes which have gone before, and of others which will follow. So remember'ng that to many people history is a rather dull subject ex- cept to those who have taken part in it personally, as historian of the class of 1941, I will strive to be as brief as possible, and to touch only upon those subjects which are of significance, not only to the class but to others. On September 1. 1937, there entered into this institution of learning forty- one freshmen. Upon entering we were received with wild welcomings and re- joicings, but it came to pass, that we were received with malicious glee and were caused to suffer many things. As we dwelt long in this freshman land, we fell in with the customs of the others, our strangenesses wore away and we became as one among the rest. During this year Mary Wilson served as class president, Charles Vantrease serv- ed as vice-president, and Thcsamene Willey as secretary and treasurer. The experience we gained was an advantage to us in the years to follow. In 1938 we again entered this school, however, our number had decreased to 30. In our studies we did fairly well . In this second year of our dwelling, Britain McKinney served as our president, Macon Thomason was vice president, Frances Gwaltney, secretary, and Mary Davis. treasurer. Our class had not lagged behind other classes in social attainments. Our pride grew and grew and at last 29 became members of the Junior Class. This year found us full of energy sharing work in many worthwhile or- ganizations. This year the honors of holding the class offices were bestowed on Charles Vantrease, president, Raymond Allmon, vice president, and Macon Thomason, secretary and treasurer. During the past three years we had lighted many beacons by the wayside, the lights of which are bound to shine afar. Then came the greatest year of all when twenty-one students entered their Enal year as seniors. The honor was again bestowed upon Charles Vantrease to serve as class president, with W. L. Turner, Jr., vice president and Raymond Phillips, secretary treasurer. During the period this class history covers, ten of our group have chosen to wed. five have entered other institutions of learning, seven dropped out to start work, three students moved to distant places, two were retained in other classes. Six new members were added to the classes from time to time, thus 47 students have shared in the making of the history for the class of 1941. Looking back over our school life we cannot escape the fact that it has been to one and all a great source of blessing and much rejoicing. We trust that the ending of this our first lesson will be the beginning of another life that will enable us to build upon the foundations laid while students of this school. -FRANCES GWALTNEY. - 15 - T H E T1 G E R STUDENT COUNCIL OFFICERS FHARLES VANTREASE W- L- TURNER, JR Prcsidfnt Vice-President FRANCES GWALTNEY Secretary-Treasurer .. 16 - THE TIGER SOPHOMORE CLASS Fixst row: Qleft to rightj Dorothy Smartt, Genna V.

At this time they won over all other contesting schools of the Fifth Distri.t. W. L. Turner, Jr., and Mary Davis were selected as mem- Lers of the all-star cast, selected by the judges. This victory entitled the play to be given in the State Contest, April 18, at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. Here also they were vic- torious, winning over six plays, representing every district in Tennessee. Mary Davis was selected on all-state cast.

Although this team crashed the win column only once, it will be remembered as one of the schools best, that is in regard to sports- manship. The team averaged only 130 pounds. In every game the opponents were much larger. Coaches Smith and Woosley instilled within this team a spirit of good sportsmanship which accounts for victories greater than winning games.
