TURNER’S Cfje mountaineer FOREWORD For the past five years, three of which have been spent in the Grafton High School, it has been my privilege and pleasure to be associated in an active way with the educational interests of the boys and girls of Grafton and Taylor County. To You. teachers, parents, and friends of the schools who have done much to aid in the promotion of these best interests of the pupils, inrteh credit is due. The memories of such a privilege, as I have had in working with you can never be erased. While the accomplishments of the past have been reasonably satisfactory, greater achievements are yet ahead: There is no limit to the possibilities of educational growth. The real values of this .Magazine are not only appreciated now, but will grow more and more so, as the years of youth ripen into manhood and womanhood and then into old age. It will become a personal art gallery to visit when we grow hungry to see familiar faces and well known places. E. M.

State of West Virginia, knowing that we may die on the eve of our initiation into the Alumni Association do hereby publish and make known this our last will and testament. To the faculty we leave a fond hope that the classes that follow will he more industrious. To the class of ’31, we leave the front right section of the auditorium and our mythical senior privileges. (???????) To the Sophomores, we leave our skill at gladhanding and appleshining the faculty. It will save them many tedious hours of study. To our Freshman class, we leave our tenderest sympathies for the worst is yet to come. Jimmie Stafford leaves his love and courteous glances to Margaret Iloffman. John Evans wills his hand uniform to Robert Parrish. James Robinson is to receive Bill Maloney’s skipping ability. Oharolotte Rendle wills her lilting laugh to Janie Cline. Elizabeth Ford’s ability to talk much and say little is left to Marialvcna Malone. Know ye that Wilda Koch being unwilling to will to anyone her beloved Paul, Is taking him with her. Jean Murray leaves her interest in the Freshman class to Dorothy Collins (luck to her). We, the class of 1930. will Avis Scranage to Mr. Russel Lambert and Man Margaret Finley to Mr. Wilbur Ward. Thus endeth the last will and testament of the class of 1930 given under our hand and seal this 1st day of May, 1930. Q. OZWAKKE YOYO, Jr..

Since that time the present junior class has become well known for successful social events. During the class’s sophomore year, they gave one of the best parties of the term, and the junior party this year which was in the form of a dance was one of the outstanding events of the high school’s social calendar. Not only in social lift arc the juniors successful; in the local and the district literary meets, members of the class of ’31 were prominent. In the field of dramatics, we boast of several . tars. “ Prunella”, the junior class play, was a beautiful performance, well staged and exceptionally well acted. This hook goes to press too soon to publish the details of the Junior-Senior reception, but we may be assured that it will be a memorable event, for the juniors do not do things by halves. Junior leaders past and present: Freshman presidents.........Jean Murray, Leroy Postlethwait Sophomore president ....................... Robert Bunncr Junior presidents..... Charles Bush, now a member of the senior class, and Margaret Huffman. Other officers of the junior class are: vice president, William Flanagan; secretary, Lawrence Wadsworth; treasurer, Mary Louise Hawkins; (’lass sponsors, Miss Loar, Miss White, Miss Fry and Mr. Weaver. Junior Poem A toss of the head, A cheery laugh, A “what do I care,” This is our path. In all kinds of weather We try to be gay; In sorrow and hardships. Thro each darkened day. We hope to he Seniors, And then we will too, Re always as faithful. Obedient and true. . C.
