H. S. were open in September, 1920, to a class of twenty-eight Freshmen. Mr. Taylor, our principal, told us to enroll to Miss Grimes. During this year we did out best to win friends and make our work a true foundation for the goal to be attained. Our greatest misfortune was to lose several of our members, Ralph Warnick, Verna S.'ple and Edwin Doyle. Under the care and advice of Miss Grimes, these remaining organized our class and survived as Freshmen. A happy bunch of “Sophs we were when school opened in '21. Tem- porarily sorry to find cur classmate, Burke Grogg, going to Ronceverte. Our sorrow was overcome with joy to find five new members, Adolph Cooper, Grace Graves, Omer Brill, Thelma Conrad and Warren Oliver. Warren left us the first semester. With the help of Mrs. Pritchard we conquered all diffi- culties, making our foundation stronger. We were glad to say at the end of May that we were ready to be classified as Juniors. When greeting G. H. S. in '22 we were disconcerted to find our class so divided; Omer Brill, Adolph Cooper, Willa Nottingham and Grace Graves were going to other schools. Sterle Nottingham, Meryle Irvine and Richard, Lewis had moved away. Janet Woods, Myrtle Barkley and Sylvia Bennette were married. Frieda Williams, Margaret Wood, Edna Wilfong, Thelma Conrad and Edgar Shinnaberry, by going to summer school, were ready to join the seniors. This made the Juniors feel badly, although after organizing o’-r class. wHh the help of Mr. Schnopp, we were delighted to find that Effi.e Moore, Thelma Collins, Wilma Slayton, Verne Siple, Arnold Willhide, Ida Jackson, Marv Phares, Flora Phili ps and Sallie Warwick, by extra work, were able to help the Juniors solve their problems. It was the shock of our lives to find that we were still the largest class in school. Two literary societies were organized this year. The Adelph ans, under the care of Mr. Schnopp, consisted of the Junio's and Freshmen. The Colum- bians, led by Miss Hite, included the Seniors and Sophomores. We did our best in the programs we gave during the year, trving all the time to gain wis- dom for our class and our helpers, the Freshmen. The second semester brought back our true classmate, Willa. At the close of school we were nearer our goal. The Juniors took a great part in “Cherry Blossoms, for the two leading characters, Martha and Arnold, were proud to let evervone know that they were Juniors. Our help in this play ended our work as Juniors. The doors of G. H. S. were open wider than ever when we entered as Seniors, for we had with us a new principal, Mr. Harwood, and two new class- mates, Beulah Brill and Edith Townsend. We found that Alice Friel was going to school at Marlinton and that William Reitz was not attending school. This was a little discouraging at first, yet we knew we roust work, for this was our last chance to w in our goal. Miss Moomau and Mr. Schaffner were ready to help us. 16 The first semester enabled three of our members, Edith Townsend, Willa Nottingham and Mack Brooks, to finish. Ola Doyle quit school. The second semester brought us two members, Joy and Mabel Arbo- gast, and a shock------! The preacher visited our class, uniting in Holy Matrimony Sylvia Riley and Hume Bowles. We were glad to find that Sib was not going to leave us. Our class leads in athletics, as we have one boy and four girls on the varsity basketball teams. Although we have won our goal and are leaving this vear, we shall never forget our happy days and our friends at G. H. S. —C. S., ’24. 17 Senior Class Will of 1924 We, the Senior Class of 1924, do hereby make and affirm this, our last will and testament, declaring all previous wills null and void.

D.. 1924. —The Senior Class. 1? Senior Class Prophecy Paris, France, Jan. 25, 1940. I arrived here on the 23rd to pick up a few spring styles along the mil- linery line. On my way over here I heard of an old lady who could “read the blue and tell the whereabouts of anyone you desired. To satisfy a long- ing of several years, I went to this mysterious old lady and inquired for the 1 924 Class of Greenbank High School. This was her answer: Clyde Cassell—Clyde is a comedian in Cassell Brothers Wonderful Three-Ring Circus, which tours Kentucky, Virginia and West Virginia in the summer. Clyde is now spending the winter in Cass, resting after a season of hard “labor. Mack Brooks—Mack graduated from W. V. U. in 1930. He is now president of The Brooks Beard Junk Company, at String Town. Ida Jackson—“Ida graduated from Yale Business College in 192 7. She is now bookkeeper for “Brooks Beard Junk Company. Colleen Siple— Sis” taught school at Greenbank for five years, and, just as 1 expected, she has settled down near Lake “Oliver.” I guess the smiles cast and the numerous notes written in study hall were not a waste of time after all. Flora Phillips—This industrious young lady, who finished high school in three years, found many problems confront ng her. I remember that she was once a “wifie-to-be.” We find her in Pittsburgh, spmd'ng her leisure time writing matrimonial advice to the lovelorn. Have patience, Flo-Belle, he will come to you yet. Willa Nottingham—It seemed a meat task for B:ll” to make up her mind just what profession she would follow. When most deeply at sea over this auest'on, Alex appeared on the scene and carried her away to a love nest” in the village of Arbovale. Effie Moore—Effe taught school for three years and then took a course in nursing. She is now head nu-se in the Greenbrier General Hospital. If you should listen at her door, when she is alone, you would probably hear her singing “Anybody Seen My Kelly. Mabel Arbogast—Mabel taught school for two years, but, after many vamping failures and disappointments, she turned her attention to the reptile world. She is now a snake-charmer for Cassell Brothers’ Circus. Sylvia Riley Bowles—“Sib” took a business course in 1928. Since then ghe has been employed by the “West Virginia Bowl Factory” at Wheeling. 20 Sallie Warwick—She was united in the bonds of matrimony soon after her graduation from G. H. S. She is now living in the mountains of West Virginia, surrounded by her happy little family. Martha Reitz 1 was afraid my mysterious old lady was not going to find Martha. But after a long while she said: “There she is, way over in the wilds of Southern Africa, teaching school. Her husband, Mr. Sheet, busily goes from place to place in an earnest effort to convert some of the dark-complexioned branch of the human race.” Mary Phares---Mary was nominated for United States Senator in 1926, but was defeated by her honorable opponent, Wilma Slayton. Mary re- turned meekly to her heme at the foot of Buffalo mountain. Here she resumed her old “trade,” raising pure-bred Leghorn chickens, according to the recipe she learned from Mr. Hedrick in 1924. Joy Arbcgast--Joy graduated from “Hi Skule” in three years and, later, turned her attention to the botanical world. After accumulating a large col- lection of various species of insects, she eventually found one that c.air:ed be- neath its fairy wings a dust-like material. This, she found, after being heated to 41 2 degrees Farenheit and suddenly cooled, changed to a jelly-like sub- stance. When applied to the skin of a negro, thirteen nights in succession, this marvelous jelly bleached him entirely white. Since her discovery has proven a success, I imagine it is a puzzle for Mr. Harwood to distinguish his “Dear” brother from his white brother now. Beulah Brill--She is now touring PoUnd lecturing to the people on the “Advantages of Bobbed Hair” and “Disadvantages of Beauty Parlors.” Be- fore starting on this career, she burned a young lady’s ear while curling her hair in a beauty parlor-hence her disapproval. Verna Siple—Afte co many failures and disappointments in trying to vamp a husband, she finally acquired one through an advertising agency. She is now living a happy married life. Thelma Collins—“TilLe” always had a ta’ent for music, but I did not ihink her future so promising along that line. She had always planned to go to college, but here she is over in Chicago, a piano accompanist for the Victor records. Her favorite selections are just any kind of “blues.” When her time is not occup'ed by the Victor company she may be heard playing for the radio programs. Edith Townsend-----Mrs. Townsend, after a great many trials and tempta- tions, won a scholarship at the W. V. U. he is now traveling for the Cassell Brothe-.s’ Circus, hanging advertisements on every old post and building along the road between Southern Kentucky and Northern West Virginia. —S. L.

Mechanically speaking, we hit on all “twelve” and ask you kind and patient readers to “Watch our dust.” In the fall of 2 1 we met for the first time on the Hy School campus to be hailed from all quarters as Freshies. Early in October, with the faculty’s aid, our class was organized and officers were elected. In members, we num- bered thirty, coming principally from Durbin, Dunmore, Cass and Greenbank. Our Freshman, Sophomore and (the present) Junior terms have been very successful. In number we have decreased, making the work for the “stickers” doubly difficult. As a class, we have always stood together, lend- ing a helping hand to others when needed; giving at all times the best talent of our class to represent the school in athletic tournaments, philanthropic pro- grams and literary work. Next year, we trust that our class will be enlarged by the hoped-for and expected influx in order that the name of '25 will be remembered in the An- nals of our school. And now, if our class history seems brief and unpreten- tious, please realize that we are living our motto in earnest “Deeds, not words” —G. C. W., ’25. 24 Juniors “Lively and merry” is Lillie McLaughlin Dun more, W. Va. “Modest and mannerly” is Marvin McLaughlin Dun more, W. Va. “Genteel and witty” is Gretchen Williams Cass, W. Va. “Meek and sincere” is Monna Sheets Arbovale, W. Va. 25 “Listless and musical” is Leta McLaughlin Dun more, W. Va. 26 “Happy and True” is Hazsl Tracy Boyer, W. Va. “Ambitious and willing” is Arnold Willhide Durbin, W. Va. 27 The Junior Class Poem The Junior Class in size is small. But full of pep and all; Three years ago we came to stay. We’ve had lots of study, but also some play. G. H. S. to our hearts is dear. The school spirit keeps us full of cheer; We re a jolly bunch of girls and boys, Long eince passed the age of toys. “Twenty-five” bases all on hopefulness, And this is our purpose, more or less; With all our faith and courage strong. We'll do the right and right the wrong. We, the Juniors in number ten. Strive always to finish what we begin; In sports and stunts, too, we excel. We surely have one kippy yell: “Happy Hooligan. Gloomy Gus, What in the wodd’s the matter with us? We’re the hot stuff of creation, We’re the Junior Aggregation. In Nineteen Hundred 1 wenty-five We’ll tell the world that we’re alive; Come on. Juniors, we are set; let’s go. “Deeds, not words,” that s our motto. —B. E. G., ’25. 28 29 SOPHOMORE GROUP Sophomore Class History When Greenbank district became too large For one high school to suffice The problem was solved by two junior High schools. Which we all thought wonderfully nice. These elegant schools, with unfriendly views, One at Durbin, the other at Cass, With the Freshman bunch from the big high school Form the Greenbank Sophomore class. On February last. Nineteen twenty-four, The class met in Room Number ten To select their officers, class colors and such. And find out just why, how and when. Their President is “Liz, ’ and they all stand pat. Though they scarce know whom to elect; V hen it came time to choose the Vice-President they thought Margaret Wilson the one to select. Peck came in for the money and, as things now stand, The Sophomore Treasurer is he; While Ethel’ s dear hand-writing, so clear. Made her secretary. Oh ! Gee ! Though Cass and Durbin were rivals complete. In the days of their Junior High year. They now work together as well classes must For the good of the Sophs---never fear. And they'll reach their goal-yes, more than that- For lock at the models before them; The Juniors and Seniors (in their own good opinion) Make patterns that we cannot condemn. 31 —E. M. B„ ’26. Sophomore Class Poem We, the members of the Sophomore troop, Come together in a two-fold group To show the others what we can do. And to our colors we’ll ever hold true. e like our classes, and take great delight In doing what's honest, faithful and right; Whole-hearted we stand for the honor of the school And try each day to keep every rule. No matter what comes, we will do our best. However hard may prove the test; United we stand till we are forced to part, With a spirit of loyally and freedom of heart. y} e Seniors look down upon us and say we are smart Well, they set the example and gave us a good start; ‘Not equal” is our motto, and, without any doubt, We’ll take their places when they’re ready to drop out. And to our mistakes we must gladly confess. But still we all love the old G. H. S., The grand old school, with its happy throng, With its hours of study, joy and song. .—E. M. B., ’26. 32 FRESHMEN GROUP Freshmen History The year of 1924 is a memorable one for a number of historical events, many of which are important, but the greatest of all was the enrollment of twenty-three industrious boys and girls in the Freshman Class of Greenbank High School. We excel all other classes in quality. The upper classmen have recog- nized our literary genius and our star athlete-the possession of which we have just reason to be proud. At our first class meeting we elected our officers. During the time we have made much progress. By next year we think w? shall be able to take etare of oursflves without the advice of otEerg, � —P. S� r 2 7, 34 Freshmen Class Poem You can tell we are Freshmen by the look on our face; In G. H. S. we feel much out of place. But nevertheless, when work must be done. We are willing to sacrifice much of our fun. Th Sophomores say we’re as green as grass. What more could you expect from a Freshman class? We do not want for vim or pep. But we are trying hard to establish a “rep.” We study hard for our Latin class. And sometimes barely make a pass. But we’re always satisfied, don’t you see. Just so we never make a “G.” Domestic Science is not so bad. But when class is over we are always glad. Every seam must be straight as can be. For no one knows what our “fate” might be. English is easy we all admit. But when “Current Events” come we’re just out of it. Then Mr. Schaffner asks in the usual way, “Well, Brown, what do you have today?” We are trying each day to gain greater fame Than being just “Little Green Freshies by name. We hope to keep our spirit alive nd greet you again in twenty-five. ;— R. W., ’27t 35 A Summer’s Twilight When the slothful sun is sinking Behind the towering hills and trees. Silence reigns the whole world over; Twilight’s here, nature feels at ease. Now the stars come gently peeping Through the quiet sky. Moonbeams play tag with planets Which then are happening by. The world is covered with a veil. Pale purple and gassamer light; Fire-flies flit merrily round about. Teasing fairies during the flight The silver path across the sky Is called the milky way; It is said that maidens fair Spilt milk upon this path one day. At last a little balmy breeze Sprang up with a merry tune; It shook the leaves and swayed the trees And swept stray clouds from o’er the moon. 56 ---Imogene Pritchard, ’2 7.

There was no visible improvement during the first of the season, but later a marked improvement in floor work and basketball sence was evident, due to con- sistent training under the guidance of Coach Harwood. “Dame Fortune” has been against us in many of our games, but are we down-hearted? No. On the contrary, we are proud of the teams’ showing, because we realize that we are just beginning to play real basketball. We have good material and a large class to draw from next year. We are handicapped by having to use a small floor, with a low ceiling, but let us hope the anticipated new gym will be a realization before this team is lost to the school by graduation. The team made three trips during the season, playing three games on each trip, except the last, when we went to the state tournament at Buck- hannon. The games lost on these trips were close, hard-fought contests, and the boys deserve credit for their fight. Splendid sportsmanship characterized every game, and the Greenbank lads were never beaten until the final whistle. We won from our old rival, Ronceverte. on their floor, making the games stand two and two for the last two years. We shall be out stronger than ever next year, especially if we have that new gym. So look out, Burnsville, we are after that cup! G. H. S.

After a few practices it was found that there was some good material from which to pick a team. After the try-out we had a team consisting of four Seniors one Junior and a Sophomore. Our first game was against the Alumni, in which we showed improved teamwork and marked ability in putting the sphere through the hoop, the score being 33-3. Next we went to Mill Creek, January 4th. Again our team was victorious. Our greatest misfortunes were Jack’s black eye and a snow- storm. Who cares for black eyes and snowstorms when winning? Elkins arrived here, January 1 8th, confident of winning, as we heard later, but went home with “Down hearted Blues,” dragging a 25-4 defeat. The team was aroused by hints of a trip to Alderson, which came to pass January 29th. There we won two games and lost one by a one-point margin. We received word that Ronceverte wanted to play us on this trip. We did not feel much inclined to play, as we had already met three strong teams. All on the team showed true sportsmanship and grit by playing Ron- ceverte an 18-18 tie game only to lose in the extra period by two foul goals. The last was a local game, and our only regret is that we didn’t get a return game with Ronceverte and Alderson. Each member on the quint deserves special mention. Ida Jackson---- ’lack,” our forward, plays the game. With high points she has won great fame. Thelma Collins--- “Pinhead,” our other forward, is “Jack’s” side-kick. And fooling with her you’re bound to get licked. Colleen Siple-- “Sis,” the center, who wouldn’t fight. But plays basketball for Lake’s delight. Gretchen Williams---- “Gretch, the guard, is not very tall. But playing a forward, she plays for the ball. Elizabeth Blackhurst-- “Liz,” the guard of great renown. On our trips she is the vamp of the town. Willa Nottingham----- “Bill,” our sub, doesn’t play much. But when she does she “struts her stuff. One center and three forwards are about to depart, And we are exceedingly sad at heart; They are all true sports and players bold And fight unceasingly for “Blue and Gold. Of four good players we are bereft, Only “Gretch” and “Liz” are left, But they will carry on” next year f And keep the new team full of cheer� —I- W, J• f 24� 47 James Fitz-James Bereft of a father’s needful care His mother lost control of her heir; James, falling into the Dougles hands. Was held a captive by their bands. Freed from the fiery Douglas power. King lames ascended to Stirling Tower, And there presided in stately way Scotland’s laws before the people to lay. With bitter enmity still at heart, Fit-James in clan wars gladly took part; He assembled his army, as if to seek game. To prevent the Highlanders from seeing his aim. Even this monarch could often be found In disguise travel :ng the country around. Thus hearing comp'aints that never would reach The ear of a king on Stirling beach. His reign is well-remembered by those Who look not upon law as their foe; His many restraints on violence and crime To his. memory shall remain a striking ch me. A burning fever laid hold on the king; In spite of his youth, it seemed slowly to wring From him his spirit-having come, it departs. Leaving him dead with a broken heart. ---Edythe McClung, ’26. 48 SOPHOMORE BASKETBALL TEAM TRACK TEAM Adelphians ADELPHIAN LITERARY SOCIETY “We want a society to show our ‘pep’ and establish a ‘rep,’ so, come on, let’s organize,” was the yell one day in the fall of 1922. Then it was decided for the Freshmen and Juniors to co-operate, while the Sophs were to take their place with the Seniors. Next thing to do was get to work, find a name, colors and choose our officers. Since Martha Reitz was a very “business-like” student, we decided that she would be a good leader; so she was elected President, with Clyde Cassell as Vice-President and Mack Brooks as Secretary to assist her. It was not difficult to elect officers, but then to find a name to suit us was quite different. At last we adopted the name of Adelphians, and took as our colors pink and lavender. Soon we were to hail our banner, which is still before us. Although the Columbians and Adelphians gave a program every week, only one night program was given. It was given February 22, 1923, by the Adelphians. Again in the fall of 1923 we organized with the two classes together as before. For officers this year we have Clyde Cassell as President, Audra Dill, Vice-President; Colleen Siple, Secretary, and Arnold Frazee, Treasurer. With such officers as these, what could have kept us from being a success! S. It. B., '24. 53 Columbians COLUMBIAN LITERARY SOCIETY At the beginning of the school term of 1922-23 the Student Body of G. H. S. met in tho auditorium and organized two literary societies. The Seniors and the Sophomores selected the name of Columbians. The following officers were elected: President, Clyde Idleman; Vice-President, Robert Eades; Secre- tary, Linnie Woods. A banner was secured in the adopted colors, garnet and gold. The Columbians were very successful, and interesting programs were given. The next year the Juniors and Freshmen took the name of Columbians and the following officers were elected: President, Gretchen Williams; Vice-President, Lake Oliver; Secretary, Immogine Pritchard. This year, as before, a great success is being made. We hope when the Juniors become Seniors and the Freshmen become Sophomores that they will still cling to the Columbian Society. M. C. W., 25. 54 HOME ECONOMICS CLUB Our Home Economics classes were started in September, with Miss Brown as teacher. We have made great progress during the last seven months in both the sewing and the cooking classes. We have made our school building more attractive by the addition of curtains to the library and office. iSome of the most popular Home Economics girls helped m serving hot lunches, which made the noon hour pleasant for both students and teachers. The making of food and fashion charts gave to the Home Economics girls a desire to eat the proper kind of food and to wear clothes suitable for each occasion. The charts also attracted the notice of the whole school. The second year girls have become very popular by making flowers and baskets from different colors of crepe paper. We, the Home Economic girls, feel that we owe credit to Miss Brown our teacher, for making this such an interesting class, and in the future we hope to look back to the year of 1924 as being one of the happiest and most prosperous years of our life. Vo-Ag Club VO-AG. SOCIETY At the beginning of school in September, 1923, the members of the Agriculture classes of Greenbank High School met in the auditorium to reorganize the Vo-Ag. society. Harper Cassell, commonly known as “Steve,” was elected President on account of his indisputable ability as a regular farmer. Paul Patterson, an extremely bashful student, was elected as Vice-President. After due and deliberate consideration on the part of the members, the remaining officers wer elected: Polly Dill as Secretary, and Elizabeth Blackhurst as Treasurer. They have had several meetings, and have given one exceptionally good program during the year. On account of the eminent ability of our Vo-Ag. instructor, we think that our society by far surpasses any that has ever been organized in this school. In January, a “Farmers’ Week Meeting” was held at Morgantown. To this meeting we sent a team, which was accompanied by our instructor, Mr. Hedrick, representing our society in the judging contest. We are proud to say they came out exceptionally well. They stood fourth in all contests, wherein there were eleven teams. 56 Bible Class THE BIBLE CLASS For four years G. D. H. S. has had a class in English Bible. During the last three years we have used as our guide the West Virginia Bible Study Syllabus, although the Bible is the main textbook. There has been a growing interest in this work, as evidenced by the fact that more aplicants signed up for the course than could be accommodated in one class. 57 Former G. H. S.

PHYSICIAN AND SURGEON One day in Freshman English Mr. Schaffner was endeavoring to put across a lesson in art appreciation. Holding up the current issue of The Literary Digest, he asked such questions as: “Are the proportions good?” “Do the colors blend?” Do you like the picture? etc. This particular picture hap- pened to be one called “Lenore in a Russian Blouse. Mr. Schaffner: New, Lake Beard, what are the two big things we look for first in any picture; color and what else? Lake Beard: “Don’t know. Mr. Schaffner: “Yes, you do. Think. This chair has the same two big things as the picture. Now what are they—color and----? Lake Beard: Oh, now I know—why legs! From Durbin came a truck so full, So full of joy and mirth; To travel in it twice a day Was sure a dollar’s worth. Our truck did go through ice and snow, Into the mud it sank: It even went into the ditch While coming to Greenbank. And it's been faithful most the time, It’s gone through thick and thin; The days it’s hauled us here to school Were the best that’ve ever been.
