c ■Dedicated QoO OUR MOTHERS whose love, loyalty, Q and confidence have been our greatest boon in working toward a successful close to our high school careers.

Smith “Kaleidoscope” Staff HIS YEAR the “Kaleidoscope” staff has had considerable difficulty in maintaining the high standard of literary achievement which has been instituted by past staffs. The paper has not yet approached a self-supporting standard and is forced to rely chiefly upon outside advertising. This procedure became more than usually difficult because of the rather widespread business depression. The co-operation of the home rooms and the various organizations have been most invaluable in helping the paper to become a success. Although the “Kaleidoscope” is edited by members of the Senior Class of Hopewell High, it is essentially a production of the entire school. In it are published such essays, narratives, or poems which are selected by the teachers from the material written by students throughout the school. This procedure has been instrumental in bringing out on the part of the student, a desire to produce essays of a more literary character. This alone justifies the existence of the “Kaleidoscope.” The staff wishes to thank Mr. Smith, sponsor of the paper, for his great assistance and advice in this year’s production. His technical knowledge of English has proved most valuable in ob¬ taining articles of a higher quality. HT Page Two THE STAFF (1) Arthur S.

' ' GRADUATION from Hopewell High School is a new experi- ence to youth. Since the entrance into elementary schools Uy this has been the goal which ever beckoned us onward. Even after entering high school, that final ceremony seemed very distant. We had magnified it until it became our foremost ambition. Now that it has finally been achieved, many of us discover that it is almost an anti-climax. It fails to be the greatest thing in our lives as we have so fondly expected. We find ourselves thrust out into a world as dissociated from the routine of school as the moon from an apple. Instead of having ease and comfort at the peak of success, we discover that we have barely reached the foot of the ladder with many rug¬ ged steps to climb. In fact, the graduation ceremony seems rather malapropos. One almost thinks of postpon ing it until a more definite success is vouchsafed. Nevertheless, we have started. Although the trail winds long and hazy before us, we have no intention of forsaking the strug¬ gle. Gradually, those of pusillanimous spirit will be weeded out to remain buried until they finally give up the fight. Notwith¬ standing the progress of civilization, nature’s old law. the “sur¬ vival of the fittest” still lingers. Only by overcoming every hinderance which may be found in our paths may we hope to form for ourselves a definite place in life. Youth, we admit, is a dreamer. In the spring of life all things are seen through rose-colored glasses. Yet, with a totally unexplored country ahead of us we are beginning to realize, possibly for the first, time, the struggle for existence, which life may have in store for us. It is but natural, therefore, that countless doubts are beginning to assail us when we consider our inexperience along such lines. Do not conclude, however, that youth is afraid. There is quite a distinction between panic-stricken fear and intelligent caution. It is impossible that in a ferv generations the quality of youth can have changed to such an extent that with time and experience we cannot equal and even surpass, the accomplish¬ ments of the present leaders. Without doubt, they too entered the sterner lists of life with misgivings. We are prepared, like¬ wise, with our plans for the future which even if not practically sound help us to find errors in present systems. Like theirs, our plans point to that ultimate goal of success—happiness. Page Four Exchange HE DUTY of the Exchange Editor is to publish monthly, in a special column of the paper, articles from the dif¬ ferent papers which he gets in exchange for a copy of the “Kaleidoscope.” This column is very essential to the paper and is read with keen delight by most of the readers of the “Kaleidoscope.” It is our aim to edit only interesting articles in this column so as to attract the attention of all readers. Our paper is not perfect and will not reach any state of per¬ fection for a good many years to come. Before anything is per¬ fected, there is one thing that is necessary. That is criticism; for, as Arthur Symons said, “The aim of criticism is to distin¬ guish what is essential in the work of a writer.” Thus it is with our paper, the good points will only be brought out through criti¬ cism. We need the opinions and suggestions of other schools that we may correct and perfect our own paper, and there is only one way to get them; through the Exchange Column. All of our lives we have been exchanging our ideas and theories for those of the people about us, and if we didn’t, right then and there our minds wou’d grow stagnant and progress would be a thing of the past. Not so long ago, we received a paper in the regular monthly exchange from a northern school. In this paper the school criti- cicized the “Kaleidoscope,” saying: “A nice little paper. Its being of a combined magazine and newspaper form is an added attraction. You ought to have a literary department.” Since that time we have tried to edit articles with literary quality written by the pupils. We appreciated this helpful suggestion. Any concrete criticism is always welcomed by us. At the beginning of this school year we had about one hun¬ dred regular exchanges on the mailing list. It has been increased to a hundred and twenty. Practically every state in the union is represented in this list, also several foreign countries. The staff wishes to thank subscribers and readers of the “Kaleidoscope” for their favorable comments of the articles in the Exchange. It has been our effort to print in this column only that matter which is interesting as well as useful to the student. Also, we wish to thank each school for exchanging with us. Our wish for the 1932 staff is greater success with the paper and all of its departments. Page Five (Haas l iBtory FRESHMAN HE inevitable had happened! We, the seventh grade of the Junior High School, had become the important Freshman Class (which is the present Senior Class) of Hopewell High School. Important to our way of thinking but far different in the estimation of the Seniors, which fact we were soon to learn. In all our dignity, we Seniors at first look upon the poor little “Freshies” with a certain amount of contempt; on second thought, pity, for we too, at the begin¬ ning of our career, were as small and insignificant as they. For a whole year our home room teachers proved our sympathetic friends, to whom we poured out all our lamentations. Ah me! What days they were. But such is the life of a Freshman. Upon entrance into High School our class was divided into two sections due to its size. Miss Julia Parmesano (excuse me, Mrs. Parson), took one class and Miss Bertha Robertson the other. To them we owe and wish to express our heart-felt appreciation for their sympathy and patience with a class full of greenest of green Freshmen. How they ever survived that year will ever remain a mystery. The following semester the seventh grade joined our ranks as low Freshmen, while we were promoted and given the honor¬ able title of high Freshmen. We at least felt that we knew a little more than they. Their home room teacher, was Miss Evelyn Beckham, now Mrs. William Broaddus. Our class was indeed fortunate in beginning its career in the new building. A library was being started and each student brought at least one good book to contribute to it. This year also saw the beginning of the Athletic field in our “back yard,” the growth of which we have watched with pride and pleasure throughout our four years. The A. B. Club, an honorary organi¬ zation, was started this year. Each student making an A or B on all subjects for the month was entitled to membership and his name appeared in the A. B. column of the High School paper. How we did work to see our names in print. Only those Fresh¬ men who have experienced seeing their names in print can realize our feelings at seeing our names appear in the column each month. This, of course, was an incentive to work harder. The ;]h - Page Six CLASS HISTORY—Continued Student Government was making greater headway this year than the previous year, when it was installed. The officers were becoming more accustomed to their duties. The squads were working wonderfully well to have been in the practice so short a time . How we respected the officers of this organization, each one hoping some day to take a more active part in it. As the year grew to a close our faces began to register a more superior look; the look of a person who had been through a little war of his own and had emerged victorious, for we knew that when we entered school the following year we would have at¬ tained the name “Sophomore,” a title so longed for by all Freshmen. ❖ SOPHOMORE With the title “Sophomore” as a shield of protection we be¬ gan one of the most eventful and pleasant years of our high school life and we set about our tasks with genuine pride and pleasure. In the early part of the year the two literary societies, the Edgar Allen Poe and Sidney Lanier Societies, were organized. These new societies proved a success, therefore they are still in existence and hold one of the first places in the literary life of the school. We were indeed glad that we could have the advan¬ tage of acquiring literary knowledge by participating in the ac¬ tivities of these organizations. Many other clubs were organized, among which was the Latin Club, members of which had to take four years of the language. This was an incentive to those members who were completing two years of Latin to pursue the subject further. During this year our class began to save some money for the annual Senior affair, at which time the Juniors honor the Seniors at a reception just before their departure from school. We began early so that the following year would not be so hard. This year the “Kaleidoscope” staff published an annual for the first time since the Senior Class took the publication of the paper as a project. Our class wrote an article on class activi¬ ties which was published in the annual. Our home room teachers in our Sophomore years, Miss Rob¬ ertson, Mrs. Parson and Mrs. Broaddus, were the same we had CLASS HISTORY—Continued in our Freshman year. They continued to be our sympathetic friends and advisors. When that year came to a close we had reached the half-way mark in our High School life. —Eugenia Daniel. JUNIOR We entered our Junior Year with five different teachers try¬ ing to expand our minds to a size suitable for students of such undeniably high rank. As a result we all had to study very hard throughout the year. The Latin Club succeeded this year in publishing a Latin paper, the “Alipes Nuntius,” which was a big success. In our French Circle, we learned French songs which we sang on sev¬ eral occasions. Both Literary Societies and the Forensic Club accomplished much during the year and the students were justly proud of the work done in them. The Literary Societies started the pretty custom of caroling just before Christmas. Although we worked hard with candy sales and the annual popularity contest, due to the business depression, we decided to give a reception instead of a banquet to the Seniors. When the great night arrived we were very proud of our efforts, and everyone enjoyed the occasion immensely. :Jc SENIOR At the beginning of our Senior Year there were so many new teachers—new Latin, French and Science teachers, a new coach for the girls and a new sponsor for the “Kaleidoscope” that we had a hard time making them realize our Senior dignity. The Latin Club enjoyed a day in Williamsburg attending the exercises at the College of William and Mary which celebrated the two-thousandth anniversary of the birth of Vergil on Oc¬ tober 15th. November 21, was a notable day for Hopewell High School. On that day we played our annual game of football with Pe¬ tersburg High School. The score was 0-0. The cries of joy over our tied “victory” echoed over the campus for man y days. The trophy for the football championship in Southside Virginia was Page Eight CLASS HISTORY—Continued later awarded to the school by the principal of Crewe High School, last year’s victor. The end of our many pleasant days in Hopewell High School was climaxed with a gala week. We are all thrilled over that grand week with the Baccalaureate sermon, the reception, class night, our annuals, commencement and the last day. We looked upon the past four years with a feeling of sadness mingled with pleasure; sadness because they had passed so quickly and pleasure because the years to come could and would be just what we made of them. Would we reap the reward of duties “well done” or would it be with us, “of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these, it might have been.” —Emma Smith. Page Nine (ElaaH |lrD}iljpry A World Tour in 1941 INETEEN-hundred and forty-one. . . . ten years have passed since I graduated from Hopewell High School. My explorer husband and I have just completed a world tour. The first place we visited was South America. Here 1 was introduced to Mr. Wilson Dailey, president of the bank of a large city called Amazon Wilderness. We then called on Samuel Drake, mayor of the city. Rio de Janerio was our next stop. We stayed at the “Hotel de la Bashe.” Imagine my surprise when we came down to dinner and read that Margaret Argenbright and Edward Parker were booked to entertain the guests. In Beunos Aires, we came upon a darling shop on the main street. The shopkeepers were, much to my surprise, Russel Andrews and Catherine Slagle. We left a small seaport of Paraguay on the ship “Personne,” and arrived at Morrocco two weeks later. The French Foreign Legion was stationed here. We watched them until drill was over and to my astonishment up came Welford and Robert Swift. They informed me that Garnet Vaughan had a huge rubber plan¬ tation on what used to be the Saraha Desert. Beautiful Naples was next. We attended a concert the night of our arrival. Emma Smith, great American pianist, headed the program. Wild, gay Paris. A dream realized. At a very popular night club I was introduced by a friend of my husband’s to Mr. Custis Burton, the proprietor. While we were there, Mr. Burton pointed out Sally Ford and Eleanor Caperton, fashion experts. In Berlin we came upon a booklet which bore the title “Am¬ ericans in Berlin.” Among the notables was James Sordelett, representative of “Leo Schwartz Co.,” manufacturers of four- wheel brake aeroplanes. Dear old London. We were having tea at one of the famous tea gardens when I looked up to see Loren Burrows escorting Eugenia Daniel to a table next to ours. CLASS PROPHECY—Continued We decided that our next stop would be Kiev, Russia. We arrived in time to witness the awarding of a prize to Robert Krout for the best and most original painting. It was in Bombay, India, that we came across John Aderholt. He told us that he had just come from Peking, China, where he met Adelaide Moseley and Helen Newman, who were doing mis¬ sionary work there. The gay South Sea Islands and Hawaii followed. One after¬ noon while lounging on the beach and watching a group of girls conversing I recognized Rose Lee Green and Helen Layne. On down the Pacific to Sidney, Australia. While on a sight¬ seeing trip I happened to glance at a sign which read “Fred Kelley Co., Representatives of the International Airlines.” I remembered that in 1930 Admiral Byrd made an expedi¬ tion to Little America. We decided to go there. We arrived during the months of constant day. I happened to pick up a newspaper to read the weather, when I noticed that its editor was Mr. Arthur S. Waxman. After a time we decided to return to America. Arriving at San Francisco, I recognized Shannon Nichols as one of the cus¬ toms inspectors. We motored to Seattle, Washington. We were attracted by a large crowd, and after pushing our way through, we saw Wood- son Gilliam and Theodore Herbener getting out of their plane after a non-stop flight around the world. We flew to Vancouver in a plane piloted by Patsy Mazzei. At Vancouver, I visited a beauty parlor which was owned by Theresa Miles and Eleanor Sheally. Near Nome, Alaska, while walking down the street I saw a huge building. While inspecting it, I learned that it was the “James Mallonee Chemical Corporation,” manufacturers of fer¬ tilizers, etc. Montreal next. I was reading the social items when the name of Jacqueline Chappelle caught my eye. She had entertained the night before in honor of the fifth anniversary of her wedding. Among those present were Preston Bailey and Nan Connelly. On to Toronto. While glancing over an airplane schedule 1 saw that Wilson Booth was president of the Toronto-Chicago Airlines. In Chicago we attended the football game between Notre CLASS PROPHECY—Continued Dame and the Army. I was never so amazed as I was when I learned that John Edwards was assistant coach of Notre Dame. In St. Louis I decided to do a little shopping. I visited one of the largest department stores and when I glanced a tthe list of employees, which was posted on the wall, I noticed that Eliz¬ abeth Mifka was the head bookkeeper. I went to her office to see her. She informed me that Virginia Parker was the private secretary of the Mayor of St. Louis. Down the Mississippi to New Orleans. In the lobby of the “De Luxe” theatre I met Laura Epperson and her husband. She had been married for four years and had the sweetest little girl. The Sunny South and Birmingham. It was at a baseball game that I met Alexandra Economon. I certainly was delighted to see her. She introduced me to her husband, who was repre¬ sentative to Congress from the Birmingham district. Atlanta followed. I heard that there was a “Red-Headed League” there. The meetings were open to the public. We at¬ tended a meeting and discovered that the presiding officer was Clarice March. Playground of the South next—Miami. We attended a bath¬ ing beauty contest. The first prize was won by no other than Clara Alderson. In Columbia, South Carolina, I met Stephen O’Neil, a sales¬ man for the Tiffany Jewelry Company. We visited the University of North Carolina. While walking about the campus, I met Mary Hapstock, professor of Anthro¬ pology. In Bluefield, West Virginia, who should I meet but Grace Makovsky. She was a nurse in the “Bachelor Hospital.” North to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I met George Nevils trying to get his “B. B.” (boot black) degree at Temple Uni¬ versity. New York City. It was here that I met Nina Quicke, assis¬ tant professor of Mathematics at Columbia University. We left by boat for Norfolk, Virginia. When we arrived, the Atlantic Fleet was in. I ran across Edward Ruffin, who had just returned from seeing the world from the porthole of a submarine. I met Fanny Edwards at Ocean View with her family. Newport News next. It was at the Shipyard there that 1 —_ Page Twelve _ CLASS PROPHECY—Continued met James Shivar working on the construction of the liner “Hopewell.” The capital of Virginia, Richmond, was next. I met Mary Gilliam shopping there. She invited us to return to Hopewell with her. Good old Hopewell! Gosh, it was a different town ten years ago. I saw Elizabeth Jarvis and Blonnie Johnson, who were teachers at the good old “Alma Mater” Hopewell High School. On Broadway I saw a dry goods store operated by Earl Han- chey and Paul Mitchell. I read the Hopewell News and learned that Daniel Kanak was just elected to be a member of the school board. While walking down toward Tubize, I met Camp Carpenter just coming out from work. Later, while attending the “Casino Theatre,” I met Elizabeth Reese and Harriet Burnett. Beatrice Talton was there. She told me she had quite a large family. We journeyed to Petersburg, where I saw Alberta Stephenson, a stenographer for the Hot-Air Corporation. I was delighted at the result of our tour. We had seen all the members of the graduating class of 1931. Weary of traveling, my husband and I decided to return to our home in Washington, D. C. When we arrived I had a caller in the person of Professor C. W. Smith, my Senior home-room teacher in 1931. —CECELIAN KRUGER (Class Prophet). 5 age Thirteen Class Poem O ALMA MATER Our joys and sorrows you have shared, Seen all the triumphs we have dared. Have seen our eyelids wet with tears, Have seen our faces drawn with fears. Did’st witness our delight and pleasures, And held us dear like misered treasures. Now we depart; wipe off our tears, And east our thought to coming years. When others come to take our places, When all around you are new faces; Take and enfold them in your arms, Sooth them with your maternal charms. Think upon those sailing life’s sea Without the peace that lies in thee. Grant that we may leave thy door, With thy benediction forever more. —Eugenia Daniel, Glass Poet. ■ H[_ Page Fourteen SENIORS JOHN WRIGHT ADERHOLT President 1H, 2H: Edgar Allan Poe Literary So¬ ciety 3L, 3H; Civics Club; Monogram Club 4H; Basketball team 4H; Athletic Association; Assembly Squad 3H, 4H. “Man is the merriest species of the creation; All above him are serious.” -o- CLARA BOWEN ALDERSON French Circle 4L, 4H; Sidney Lanier Literary So¬ ciety 3L, 3H; Civics Club 4L, 4H; Basketball Club 4H; Athletic Association; Glee Club. “Earth ' s noblest thins; a woman perfected” o- RUSSELL BRILEY ANDREWS Secretaiy Treasurer 1L; Secretary Treasurer Home Economics Club 2L; Vice-President Commercial Club 4L, 4LI; Typist “The.

The following offi¬ cers were chosen for positions in the society: Sponsors, Miss Bertha Robertson and Mr. C. W. Smith; President, Eugenia Daniel; Secretary; Helen Layne; Treasurer, Francis Lazenby; Sergeant-at-Arms, John Edwards. Following the election of officers, a number of committees were selected. The first of these, the Program Committee, has as its duties the preparation of programs for each meeting. The Membership Committee is detailed to obtain new members and also to see that the scholastic standing of the present members is sufficiently high. During this semester we have begun work on the subjects for the Literary Nights, and with the co-opera¬ tion of the students and the sponsors, we hope to win the cup. At the last Literary Night, the opposing society won the cup from us, but we hope to win it back this time. We a re thinking of having the Literary Final in the daytime at the assembly period, rather than at night. The work that has occupied the society during this semester has been very interesting, and, as a rule will help the pupils in their work. ' ■!: Sidney Lanier N the latter part of the spring semester of 1930, the Sid¬ ney Lanier Literary oociety passed a milestone on the road leading to the goal of perfect literary achieve¬ ments. It won the literary contest on the “big night.” This contest is mutually sponsored by both the Sidney Lanier and Edgar Allan Poe Societies; and since it’s one of the major annual events of the school, it is a source of much interest and com¬ ment. The Sidney Lanier members are confident of retaining the cup this year, while the adherents of the morbid dreamer are doggedly determined to win it back. At the beginning of the fall semester of 1930, the Sidney Lanier Literary Society had as its new sponsors, Miss Rathine and Miss Binford. We elected for its officers: President, Sally Ford; First Vice-President, Eleanor Caperton; Second Vice-Pres- Page Tyent y-eight SOCIETIES AND CLUBS—Continued ident, Peggy Beveridge; Third Vice-President, Robert Juer. This, with the co-operation of every member, means a long continua¬ tion of our march of progress. Next year, the Sidney Lanier is expecting to add poetry in its line of successful achievement. Latin Club INETEEN THIRTY-ONE has been a “Banner Year” for the “Latina Societas.” It has been a year of changes in organization and operation. Until this year the club included only members of the Vergil Class, but last fall the Vergil Class consisted of six students. Consequently we de¬ cided to allow the Cicero Class to become members of the club and divided it into two parts, “Patricians” and the “Plebians.” The “Patricians” represent the Vergil Class and the “Plebians” the Cicero Class. The officers of the “Latina Societies” are: James Mallonee, President, and Eleanor Caperton, Secretary. One other change in the club is that the collection of dues has been discon¬ tinued, for we feel that each member of the club would be called upon to do his utmost in the support of the “Alipes Nuntius,’ which is the Latin paper put out by the Society. The staff of the “Alipes Nuntius” is: Eugenia Daniel, Editor- in-Chief; Eleanor Caperton and Mary Gilliam, Assistant Editors, and Sally Ford, Business Manager. The Exchange Editor, Annie Daniel, was elected from the Cicero Class. The typist for the paper is Virginia Parker. Never has the Latin paper been such a success. This year the paper has been a representation of all the Latin classes for the first time, and it has had the suport of almost every student taking Latin. The French Circle HE French Circle has had two meetings this semester. At the first meeting the officers for the term were elected. The Circle was asked to put on a program in the au¬ ditorium one Wednesday. They readily agreed to do this, and plans were made for the program. It was finally decided that the advanced French classes would initiate the beginners in this lan¬ guage. ■ C Page Twenty-nine SOCIETIES AND CLUBS—Continued Wednesday came (as it usually does). The stage was ar¬ ranged to resemble a school room and the President took charge. The minutes were called for, but as there were none prepared, the roll was called. Each person had to answer with the cry of an animal. Following this, some songs were sung in French. The tunes were familiar to us, but the words were not. The whole program was enjoyed by all. The French Circle is now working faithfully on a Hollywood Revue, which will be given sometime in the near future. It has not been decided who will represent the various movie stars. We are hoping that the Hollywood Revue given this year will be as successful as the one which was given last year. Also a fashion show has been suggested. We are hoping that a wide variety of summer clothes will be shown, as vacation time is almost here. :{« Commercial Club HE Commercial Club was organized this year for the pur¬ pose of furthering knowledge of the business world. The work has been enjoyed greatly by the members, e it is needed for becoming successful business people. Only students of the Commercial Course in Junior and Senior Classes were eligible. We had approximately fifty members, with Miss Bell, Miss Roberts, and Mr. Thompson as sponsors. A trip to Richmond was proposed, where a visit to the various business colleges was planned. The idea was enthusiastically accepted by the members. When we had charge of the program in the auditorium, we presented a faculty take-off, which was enjoyed by the cast as well as by the audience. It is amazing what a striking resem¬ blance exists between some teachers and pupils. The Group Contest for commercial students in this section of the State was held in our high school on April 25. We are very proud to say that on the final eligibility list we found eleven of our active members listed. Here’s to next year’s Commercial Club: much success in their undertakings! SOCIETIES AND CLUBS—Continued Forensic Club rg|F HE Forensic Club, one of the oldest clubs in the school, was organized in a slightly different manner. Ilereto- I Ifyj fore, anyone who wished to try out for one of the liter¬ ary contests automatically became a member of the club. This year, with Mr. Leadbetter as sponsor, only members of the teams and their alternates could belong to the club. The teams have had a very successful year. Both debating teams and the boys’ reader went to Charlottesville. The district contest was held at Hopewell, our school acting as host to teams from the following high schools: Blackstone, Chester, Crewe, Emnoria. Highland Springs, Oceana, Suffolk, and Varina. The affirmative debating team from Hopewell won second place on their side of the question, while our negative team won first place on their side. George Rhudy, our boy’s reader, won first place in this event. The following are the members of the teams: Affirmative: Negative: Edward Pupuy Annie Daniel James Mallonee, Jr. Christine Parker Boys’ Reader: George Rhudy Girls’ Reader: Virginia Peeples Boys’ Speaker: Edward Parker Girls’ Speaker: Margaret Argenbright. State Question for Debate Resolved: That the Circuit Court Judges and Members of the Court of Appeals of Virginia be appointed by the Governor, subject to the confirmation of the General Assembly.

Last year our department was one of the nine schools in Vir¬ ginia put on a twelve-month basis as an experiment in Home Project Work. It has proved very successful. Two of our pro¬ jects have received honorable mention. The Federal Board of Vocational Economics placed one in the group of the best six projects carried out in the United States by the girls during 1929- 1930. The other appeared in the Virginia Vocational Educational Magazine in an article explaining Home Projects in Virginia. A member of the Federal Board has shown particular interest in the project work carried on by one student this year. Her projects will be used to illustrate the correlation of such endeav¬ ors. These are to appear in a Federal magazine. The Home Economics department is rapidly growing. This year only 50 per cent, of the pupils applying for this course could be enrolled. There have been a number of distinguished visitors observing our work this year, due to nearness to the capital. Mrs. Avrey, the State Home Economics Supervisor, and Miss Creighton, the assistant State Home Economics Supervisor, have been with us a number of times. Miss Marie White, of the Federal Board of Vocational Education, visited us two of the three days she spent studying Home Economic Work in Virginia. Miss Kozlowski, of Poland, after completing a graduation course at Cornell Univer¬ sity, studied Home Economic tvpe of work in America before she sailed for home. She visited Hopewell as her observation school in the South. A student doing graduation work at the Kentucky University visited our department to gather information for her classes. One of our club objectives for the year was to increase our library. At the present time we have eighty-five reading books and a reference library, as suggested by the supervisors. At Christmas time the club fixed a box for a poor family. This included toys, food, and clothing, which were made by the girls. The Program Committee has varied the programs. Some of them were purely entertainment, while at other times we have had out-of-town speakers. UN - Page Thirty-two Hi-Y Club to a group of boys of this school on the aims and organ¬ ization of the club. The Hi-Y Club is an active organization under the sponsor¬ ship of P. I. Leadbetter, Cashell Donahoe, and A. S. Thompson, faculty advisors. These men are interested in the work and are doing their best to further the interest of the club. The purpose of the Hi-Y is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Chris¬ tian Character. The club creates an atmosphere of cleanliness around the school, promoting clean speech, clean athletics and fair play, frowning upon dishonesty or unclean speech. The mem¬ bers are expected to conduct themselves in an orderly manner at all times. The local club is a member of the Virginia High School Y. M. C. A. and clubs of the affiliated Hi-Y Clubs of America. B HE Hi-Y Club of this school was organized on February 8, under the supervision of several members of the Pet¬ ersburg Club, who were so kind as to come here to speak Co-operative Student Government HE Co-operative Student Government Association, since it was first established in the spring semester of 1927, has made our school life more interesting. It has given each one a chance to express himself on things of vital interest to the school a responsibility equal to that of an average citizen has fallen on all. In this government, we govern our¬ selves, and to make it a success everyone has to give his full co¬ operation in every undertaking. The purpose of this system has been to prepare us for future citizenship, in the governing of our nation. The election of the President, Vice-President, and Secretary of the Student Council by the student body gives each one experience in selecting the best person for office. The Traffic, Assembly, and Sanitation squads are becoming more effective each semester. During the past semester of 1931, the Sanitation squad put on a clean room campaign, which stirred up a great deal of enthusiasm, with each room endeavoring to win the prize. The Student Council has purchased an American flag for the stage, in an endeavor to increase patriotism. Page Thirty-three Civics Club HE Civics Club was organized for the interest and benefit of Civics, P. A. D. Students, and all Juniors or Seniors interested in these subjects. At the first meeting of the club the following officers and sponsor were elected: President, Louis Aderholt; Vice-Presi¬ dent, Theodore Herbener; Secretary-Treasurer, Nan Connelly; Sponsor, Miss Burch. An Executive Committee was appointed by the President. The fundamental purpose of the club is to create a civic interest in the school, and in order to carry out this purpose the members make a pilgrimage to some nearby historical sites. One of the most enjoyable events of the club was the address of Mr. Allen C. Adams, of Hopewell, member of the House of Delegates, from the Fourth District. He spoke about his duties as a delegate and the procedure of the two houses in making- laws. This talk proved very educational and interesting. The Civics Club is going to present a United States flag and a Virginia State flag to the school. The club is having all teachers teach the pledge to the members of their class. . The Monogram Club HE Monogram Club has completed a very active year. The members of this club are those boys who have re¬ ceived a letter in any sport. This year there are about twenty-five boys in the club. The aim of this club is to foster school spirit and to promote high ideals of sportsmanship. The two special events of the year were: A dance held on October 13, which was attended by members of the club and their friends, and an initiation of new members, which was held before the school. The speaker was Mr. Larry Martin, who spoke on the “Merits of a Letter.” The program was reputed to be the best presented this year. The dance was a most successful affair, and all who attended declared that they had a delightful time. The officers of the club are as follows: President, Custis Bur¬ ton ; Vice-President, Clarence Cunningham; Secretary, Albert Livingston. Under the leadership of these capable officers the club has progressed exceedingly. ■ Hf Page Thirty-Four Home Rooms GREETINGS FROM 2L-2 SOPHOMORES Edward Cunningham, President Wiley Rogers, Vice-President Elizabeth Hoffman, Secretary-Treasurer Audrey Poland, Class Representative Roy Bishop Thaddie Chaney Warren Cowherd Mitchell Coury Julius Eastman Sol Goodman Colonel Griggs Bill Merner Maurice Newman Robert Newton Jack Pascoe Harold Phillips Jack Poitevint Reuben Riggan Milton Schwartz Clinton Steele Edward Titmus Annie Lee Bailey Josephine Bailey Nellye Roberts, Teacher Annalene Drake Annie Hapstack Rosalyn Jones Louise Lewis Margaret Marsh Madalena Stowe Rosa Lee Sanderson Helen Thomasson Lucile Whitby 5jS 4H-2 SENIORS September, 1930, rolled around, and with it came many changes—new teachers, new sponsors for the “Kaleidoscope” and literary societies, and most important of all was our school paper to work for. At the beginning of the semester the low Senior Classes were combined with Mr. Smith as our home room teacher. We had hardly organized our class before we were divided into two sec¬ tion: the 4L-1 remaining in room 312 with Mr. Smith as home room teacher, while the 4L-2 moved to room 314, with Mr. Oakes as home room teacher. We remained in two separate sections until the beginning of the second semester, when we were again united and went back to room 312. He 4H-1 SENIORS Many of the members of our Senior Class belong to the va¬ rious clubs in school, and a majority of the members of this year’s “Kaleidoscope” staff are from this room. With these duties and the necessary duties of any Senior, the members of our class have been kept busy. Page Thirty-five The first successful project of our class this year was a party. Later we filled and delivered a Christmas basket to a needy fam¬ ily. Our greatest project has been to plan for a class reunion two years from now. With the excellent leadership of our home room teacher, Miss Trosvig, and with the co-operation of all the members of the class, we feel justified in calling the year 1930-1931 a success. 3L-1 JUNIORS We, the school’s greenest Juniors, organized in the beginning of the spring semester of 1931. Mr. Thompson was our home room teacher. Our greatest project for this term is the difficult task of raising funds for the Junior-Senior Banquet, for which we are making elaborate preparations. During the second six weeks in the spring semester, the sanitation squad sponsored a clean room contest. With the aid of our home room teacher we won the prize, which was a framed certificate, and which now hangs in Room 301, to be gazed upon by the admiring and envious eyes of other home rooms. A representative of our room won first place in the district championship as a member of our high school debating team. More glories for 301. ' S ' 2H-2 SOPHOMORES September, 1931, blew around with some almost dignified Sophomores, who actually looked like ladies and gentlemen. Robert Juer was having dates with some of the Seniors, with his brother as his assistant. Roxie Johnson had started wearing- silk stockings. Stanley Burt had almost stopped being so lazy, and Mary Sheally had actually stopped blushing. With the hearty co-operation of the whole class and our wonderful teacher, Mrs. Parrish, the Sophomore year went over with a bang. = 1 : = 1 = 1H-4 FRESHMEN The 1H-4 Class entered High School with great anticipation and were very proud of an enrollment of thirty-three students. Mr. Oaks was our teacher. In November we moved to room 110, and kept it as our home room until February. At Christmas we had a very nice party that we all enjoyed. Page Thirty-six For the second semester we had room 314, the Latin room. This room was very desirable and we all took great pride in keep¬ ing it clean. We have worked very hard and are looking forward to more happy years in high school. 4L-1 SENIORS The school year is ended. Yes, and our school career is al¬ most over. Indeed, we will be glad when one year from June 6 rolls around. While we are in school, especially our last year, we want to do all we can to make Hopewell High School a better school for you who follow in our footsteps. We are indeed grateful to our officers this year. They have done much for our class. They are: President, Arline Poland; Representative, Murry Oliver; Secretary and Treasurer, Isabelle Futch. Besides our splendid officers, we have several in our class who are fighters in atlfietics for Hopewell High School. They are members of the football, baseball, and basketball squads. The students, who will be 4Hs next September, are de¬ termined to do something that will be a credit to Hopewell High School in the years to come. :! : 3H-1 JUNIORS At the close of the year, we, the 3H-1 Juniors, find our¬ selves near to the brink of the great abyss. We are Seniors! In looking back, we can truthfully say that we have had a very successful year. Every ounce of energy was spent in working for the Junior- Senior Banquet. Several candy sales were held during the first semester. Since February everyone tried to pay their dues, in order that we might attain our goal. Even though we have been very busy, we have found time for little deeds of kindness. In continuing the custom begun last year, we distributed May bas¬ kets to each room. We have been very fortunate in having Mrs. Julia Parson as our home room teacher. We are looking forward to anothei successful year in aiding the publication of the “Kaleidoscope.’ Page Thirty-seven 1H-1 FRESHMEN The Freshmen Class in room 102 organized the latter part of September. Its activities included participation in the For¬ ensic Club, both literary societies, and the Home Economics Club. We boast of having one of the four best debaters of Hopewell High School in our home room. Our motto is “Excelsior.” The class colors are green and white. Next year we hope for better students, and success in all of the activities of the school. 1H-3 FRESHMEN Together we stand on the threshold of vacation, laughing and happy, but ere we step over this threshold memory drapes around us her cloak of many hues—The Past. Well do we remem¬ ber how in September we started to school with joy at meeting friends and teachers we had not seen all through the summer. After this section was organized, we found 103 our home room, with Miss Bell as our teacher. Miss Bell has been a new tna her this vear. Her sunnv smile and jollv disnosition has won a place in the hearts of all. We. the 1H-3 class, wish to express our thanks to her for heloing us smooth the rough places in our Freshman year, and bridging the wav to success. Next year, as low Sonhomores. we are exnecting to institute a new era in Hopewell High School. Our only regret is that our home rooms may be changed. CELL OF THE 2H-1 SOPHOMORES The cell was organized in February, 1931, bv order of high officials, Mr. Mallonee and Miss Burch. Miss Bertha Robertson was apnointed Senior Warden. Officers were elected as follows: Maribel Higgins. Junior Warden and Representative: David Har¬ rison. Assistant Warden and President: Waller Lescure, Trea s¬ urer: and Buster Lazenbv, Record Keeper. At present we have SI inmates. Six or eight managed to get on the A. B. Club every six weeks. We won all of the points for keeping our cell clean six weeks. Strange as it may seem, we are very much interested in the affairs of the whole prison, and all are looking for a bigger and better system. Page Thirty-eight. 1L-2 FRESHMEN The 1L-2 Class started its career in High School by electing the following officers: President, Sam Herbener; Vice-President, George Strickland; Secretary, James Gross; Representative, Leon Mitchell. Our class has a regular meeting every Monday, and we have very interesting and entertaining programs at such times. Sev¬ eral teachers and members of other classes have been visitors at these meetings. When the clean room contest was announced we went to work to make our room the cleanest and best in school. We did not win first prize, but had the satisfaction of trying. : ' fi $ 2L-1 SOPHOMORES During this semester, the activities of the 2L-1 Class, under Miss Alice F. Gilbert, have been quite successful. Five dollars was donated from our treasury for the purpose of securing sup¬ plies for the school hospital. Eight students from our room made the A. B. Club the first six weeks of this semester. They, with others, are working hard to maintain this record. Due to the economic condition prevalent in town, our class dues were reduced and the balance in the treasury at the end of the year will be retained by the class to be used for Junior activ¬ ities. We decided to pay five cents per week for class dues. Our greatest activity next year will probably be the Junior- Senior Banquet. ,]K - Page Thirty-nine Football Team, 1930 Manager, Edwin Ruffin; Asst.

Goodwin _ _ Pitcher Baseball, 1931 Captain, The baseball team, though handicapped by a scarcity of pitch¬ ers, has made an excellent record this year. With a nucleus of five regulars from last year’s team, Coach Parson has produced a combination which has proved itself against the best prep school team in the State. The team this year was one of the hardest hitting groups in the history of the High School. So far they have scored a total of 153 runs to their opponents Gl. schedule Hopewell High_20 Hopewell High_ 4 Hopewell High_ 2 Hopewell High_21 Hopewell High_10 Hopewell High_14 Hopewell High_ 8 Hopewell High_ 1 Hopewell High_ 2 Hopewell High_16 Hopewell High_._12 Hopewell High_13 Hopewell High_19 Hopewell High_ 6 Hopewell High_13 Hopewell High_ 0 Hopewell High_ Hopewell High_ 4 Hopewell High_ Chester High _ 4 Petersburg_ 5 W.
