HOPEWELL HIGH SCHOOL Dedicated . ... to our old friends, the Alumni of Hopewell High, whose never lagging loyalty has been an inspiration to us. There is no friend like an old friend Who has shaded our morning days; No greeting like his welcome, No homage like his praise. Fame is the scentless sunflower With gaudy crown of gold; But friendship is the blushing rose With sweets in every fold. “Kaleidoscope” Published by SENIOR CLASS OF HOPEWELL HIGH SCHOLL HOPEWELL, VIRGINIA STAFF: Co-Editor__Annie Daniel Co-Editor_Mary Belle Higgins Business Manager_1--Lydia Elliott First Asst.

Smith - Kaleidoscope Staff p HIS YEAR the “Kaleidoscope” has not had the good for- • tune to issue a monthly school paper. Instead, we have 5 published in the local paper a page under the title “School News,” notes, and current events. This page was made possible through the courtesy of Mr. Law¬ rence, local editor, who cooperated with members of the staff to give the students an interesting section in the “Hopewell Daily News.” This publication brings to a close the work of the present staff. To the members of the incoming staff of 1933-34 we wish success in all their endeavors. We wish to thank Mr. Smith, our sponsor, for his earnest efforts to help us. He has devoted much time in our behalf and the success of our annual is due in a large measure to his efforts.

Graduation! .... What does it mean? That four short, busy, happy years have passed and we stand with our classmates ready to receive our diplomas from our dear Alma Mater, the goal of every high school student’s heart. Though we have looked forward to this event for four years, there is a sadness mingled with happiness. Sadness in the breaking of bonds of friendship that we have made with classmates and the faculty during our high school career. We are leaving surroundings that we have known and loved so long, kind faculty members w r ho have labored with and advised us, dear class¬ mates who have shared our joys and sorrows. The fact that we have come thus far indicates our interest and determination to go forward and attain something of the success that awaits those who merit it. We do not want to stop short of the highest and best in life. There is but one straight road to success and that is merit. The person who is successful is the person who is useful. Life does not lack op¬ portunities. It is for us to discover and use them. Page Eight ffilaaa ffiatory Freshman T LAST the inevitable and much-longed for event had happened. We (the present Senior class) had entered the Freshman Class with joy in our hearts. In spite of the scornful glances and stinging cries of “rats” in our ears, we were very, glad to say that we had at last entered Senior High School. Due to the size of our class we were divided into two sections, with Miss Bertha Rob¬ ertson and Mrs. Dessie Robinson as our homeroom teachers. They were very sympathetic and helpful to us, as they realized what a “rat” has to go through with. Indeed, it is very doubtful if we could have so successfully completed our Freshman year without their help and guidance. We were all striving with zeal and perseverance toward one all-important goal .... promotion to our second year, when we would no longer be shy and timid Freshies but dignified and important Sophomores. We were very proud of “our” teams that year. Hopewell High School football and baseball teams won second place, and the basketball team won first place in conference games in the Southside Virginia Athletic Association. And thus, our Freshman year drew suddenly to a close. There was the ordeal of our examinations and then we emerged . . . . all-important Sophomores. H Sophomore We entered our Sophomore term with hearts full of hope for a very successful year. The first trying year was over, and we were about to begin on the second year of our journey through High School. We were still divided into two sections, this time under Mrs. Julia Parrish and Miss Bertha Robertson. The various athletic teams, and also the debating team, had a very successful season during our Sophomore year. We had by this time fully adjusted ourselves and were well acquainted with the teachers and the various rules and regula¬ tions which governed the school and its activities. This accom- CLASS HISTORY—Continued plished, and our dreaded Freshman year behind us, we buckled down and accomplished some real work. As a result of this, and the splendid cooperation of our teachers, our Sophomore year was very successful. Examination time rolled around again and almost before we knew it, school was out and we were .... Juniors! We had pass¬ ed the half-way mark of our time in High School; we were half¬ way to the goal of our four years of hard work . . . Graduation! —Mary Stephenson. Junior As we entered the role of Junior it was with a feeling of satisfaction for we had endured and conquered the hardships of our Freshman year. The undignified Sophomore days were past. We had successfully weathered the stormy seas of education for two years and safely reached the haven of responsibility. We were Juniors! Our life was one of ceaseless activity for we had to feed the hungry Seniors at the Annual Banquet. It is with modest pride that we point out that the banquet, for which we worked so hard, was a huge success. The contented looks on the faces of the Seniors was positive proof of the merit of the banquet. The high school minstrel was highly successful, despite the depression. The mock minstrel was enthusiastically sup¬ ported and according to custom the proceeds went to the benefit of the Junior-Senior Banquet. This, our Junior year, saw the birth of a new club called the Dramatic Club under the direction of Mr. Smith and Mr. Ellis. Much interest was shown and the several productions of the club were immensely enjoyed. We had a highly successful athletic year. In basketball the defeat of Petersburg by our boys and girls in a double header took the spotlight. The girls won nine games, lost one, and tied the second game with Petersburg. Our football team enjoyed the best season in its history. The schedule was the hardest ever faced by a Hopewell team. Despite this only thirteen points were scored against the Blue Devils, and the team was rated as one of the best defensive CLASS HISTORY—Continued teams in the State. Hopewell defeated Newport News, who then finished the season undefeated and were awarded the Class A Championship of the Virginia Athletic League. The Junior Class was well represented in Debating, with a member on each team. The trip to Charlottesville was lost by a few points. Hopewell was represented at Charlottesville by our public speakers who were both in our class. In baseball we were successful in halting the winning streak of Petersburg. This is an accomplishment to be proud of, as they had won twenty-two games in succession. Thus closed our Junior year which was one of the most successful in the history of the school and we are proud of the part we played in it. -t 1 -I ' !� Senior Our memories as Seniors would cover much space and con¬ sume much time so we will hit only the high lights. At the beginning of the year a petition was presented to Mr. Mallonee requesting the reorganization of the Literary clubs. Mr. Mallonee promptly took the necessary steps and now the two Societies are firmly established. This year the campaign for president of our Student Body was the hardest fought in the history of the school. Speakers went from room to room praising their candidate. This was stopped as it caused too much disturbance. The election that resulted was so close that it had to be run off several times. The high light of a successful athletic year was the football team. This item was undefeated and claimed the Independent State Championship. The happiest day of the year wa s when we upset all traditions and beat Petersburg. Our class was well represented in all student activities, es¬ pecially in the clubs, debating and all the sports. At the beginning of the year a Carnival was given. This was a huge success. The school was full to overflowing with joy-seeking people. The annual minstrel was the best ever produced by the school. It played to a full house for the entire two days it ran. Page Eleven CLASS HISTORY—Continued The Mock Minstrel which followed was the source of much merriment. There was much sarcasm employed and it enhanced the entertainment greatly. Something new was tried by the school this year. A Beauty Pageant was held with the girls sponsored by the merchants and the school clubs. This was one of the beauty events of the year and was highly appreciated by the audience. The proceeds went to the “Kaleidoscope.” The success of the event was due to the hard work of members of the staff and several teachers whose services were invaluable. This issue of the annual is not an entire product of the Senior Class. Mr. Smith, our sponsor, suggested that several of the lower classmen be on the staff so that they might have the experience for their Senior year. This suggestion was ap¬ proved by the Senior class in the interest of bigger and better school annuals. We wish to express our gratitude to Miss Burch, Mr. Mal- lonee, and each teacher who has assisted us to successfully com¬ plete our courses in high school. Our fondest memories shall be of you. You worked hard to help us, and now as we are ready to leave you, you can see in our actions the result of your work. What you have meant to us, we can not express in words. With a great appreciation of what you have done for us we bid you good-bye! We have safely reached the summit of the mountain of High School Education. As we stand on the top gazing into the unknown, we know that we shall be ready to play the hand that fate shall deal in the great game of life. The game will be played with earnestness, sportsmanship and honor—a direct reflection of our high school life. In a few short days we shall step off the mountain and down the other side to part the curtain on the stage of life. Marsden Wallec. Page Twelve -1. tZL (HlasB Propljprg AVING completed my day’s work at the office earlier than usual, I was on my way home when I glimpsed a fortune teller’s sign hung just outside a neat brick and stucco building. Being a woman gifted with a creditable amount of curiosity, my restless eyes glanced again at the intri¬ guing board. This second glance, alas, proved to be my undoing. Voila! I entered. A turbaned attendant immediately took my card. There was something vaguely familiar about his features, but as he silently beckoned to me, I quickly followed him into an apart¬ ment which fairly reeked with mysticism. Then he silently dis¬ appeared, as the heavy drapes covering the entrance fell to¬ gether in sinuous folds. It seemed that they severed all my connections with the outside world. At last I was face to face with my fate, and ... a huge crystal ball, which seemed to render every other object in the room inconspicuous, as the only source of illumination seemed to eminate from the ball itself with an unearthly glare. I perceived a wizened and bewhiskered face just opposite the table upon which rested the crystal. He was gazing into its clear depths from beneath beetling brows, and neither moved nor spoke until I was seated. Then his voice came to me with a peculiar strained intensity. “Ah!” he said, “already I have fathomed the purpose of your interview. The crystal has told me. In the ten years that have passed since you and your classmates have graduated, many things have happened! Look!” I gazed at the ball whose depths were becoming faintly ob¬ scured by a swirling cloud. As it cleared I saw Morris Aderholt and Waller Lescure deliver the final smashing drives which made them international doubles tennis champions. Richard Frye and Bernard Storey were co-writers of the event for the Associated Press. Among the frenzied gallery I could see the former Dorothea Nevils, now the wife of John Djiovanidis, prom¬ inent Syracuse contractor. Among others of the socially prom¬ inent were George Munt, ex-playboy of Broadway, and his fiance, Eleanor Bridges. A cloud of smoke from a huge Oriental urn engulfed the crystal, and as it cleared again, the hard glare and contrasting CLASS PROPHECY—Continued green of a baseball diamond was revealed . . . the Yankees and the Cardinals in the last stages of the pennant game! The white sphere sailed gracefully over the fence, making the sixty-second home run for Steve Belcher, who was the Cardinal’s star bats¬ man. This play clinched the pennant as Belcher was preceded across the plate by Ruben Lewis. The umpire was John Kennedy. Seated in the grandstand were Josephine Burchett, Mary Harris, and the former Blanche Forney accompanied by her young son, William McKaig, Jr. The scene faded, and was replaced by a large office building in Richmond, Virginia. A suite of rooms was occupied by the law firm of Marsden Wallace and Stanley Burt. They employed Mary Stephenson and Roxie Johnson as secretaries. Among their wealthy clients were Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Wells (the former Helen Marks). Mr. Wells was suing Mervin Gage for alienation of affections. On the ground floor was a large drug store occupied by Robert Buren with Bill Cleere, his chief pharmacist. Their greatest source of profit was 3.2 beer which was manufactured in Washington by the brewing firm of Clyde Collins and Paul Kislik. Again the scene changed, and I saw in the crystal ball the interior of Roxy’s Theatre in New York City. As the light flashed upon the silver screen, Courtland Kennedy and Clara Faw were billed in one of the coming attractions by the produc¬ tive genius, Elroy Phillips. In the vaudeville feature, Helen Mifka, Velma Via, and Nellie Layne were starred in the current Broadway success. Inex Cox led the performance by her rendi¬ tion of one of the popular “torch” songs. The next feature was a fashion parade. Iris Foster and Dot Lewis led the mannequins displaying the latest creations of Charles Elliott, designer of fashionable women’s dresses and exquisite underwear. As the scene gradually dissolved, my mind reverted to the old familiar streets of Hopewell. Immediately my thoughts were reflected in the kaleidoscopic crystal. In the now enlarged high school building, Alice Gilliam was teaching a large English class. Helen Charvat was at the head of the history department; while Mary Virginia Jarvis was in¬ augurating a new routine in the girls’ Physical Ed. class. As a worthy successor to Miss Fannie Lewis, Maribel Higgins was playing the inevitable march for the chapel period. Page Fourteen CLASS PROPHECY—Continued As the panoramic vista continued I saw the much improved business section of the town. In the town’s most fashionable beauty parlor Betty Avent was supervising a facial massage for Ruby Broyhill, who was to be married to Floyd Morris that week. In the municipal building Louise Burnett was employed as notary public stenographer, which was superintended by Welden Lamb. Otis Thompson headed the Retail Merchants’ Associa¬ tion, while Virginia Hughes was City Treasurer. Adolph Ma- kovsky was one of the rising young local attorneys. Larry Cur¬ ran was in line for City Engineer and was discussing his pros¬ pects for success with Archie Martin, chief of Hopewell’s police force. In one of the outstanding dry goods companies, Otilla Here- tick was at the head of the buying department, and in the same building Annie Daniel edited the local Society Column, while Arietta Killinger was employed as private secretary to the editor of the paper. At the Hopewell Armory Wilson Mifka was drill instructor and had just assigned fatigue duty to one of his most trouble¬ some privates, Tracy Miner. In one of the large industrial corporations, Robert Elmore was chief of anylytical chemistry. As the mystic passed his supple hands across the surface of the crystal, I seemed to see powerful wings rushing through the air. Then the interior of a transatlantic passenger airplane be¬ came apparent. Glancing at the resourceful and composed fea¬ tures of the stewardess, Christine Parker, I saw that she was serving one of the passengers a frosted glass of ginger ale.. The plane landed at a huge airport which was surrounded by dense green, tropical plants and trees. One of the uniformed attendants who hurried out to assist the passengers was Conrad Martin. I looked again at the dense foliage of the surrounding trees. Why, this is Africa! Yes, there was a group of ferocious looking natives lounging in the shade of one of the nearby hangers. As medical missionaries, Durward Stowe and Katie Forrest were engaged in an animated conversation with them. After this scene faded, the salon of a great ocean liner grad¬ ually materialized in the center of the globe. Herbert Powell } Page Fifteen CLASS PROPHECY—Continued was efficiently shaking a cocktail behind the bar. Resplendent in a natty officer’s uniform, Buster Lazenby fairly shone as he conversed with one of the lady passengers. Now a South American seaport occupied the center of the ball. In the magnificent postoffice building Evelyn Hamilton was classifying international mail. Near the outskirts of the town, and in a well isolated brick and steel building, Robert Jerrel, forearms expert for the gov¬ ernment was experimenting with a newly designed revolver. Down on the curving waterfront a trim fishing smack had just anchored. It was Captain Graves Lee bringing in his cargo of fish. Deep in the Argentine interior Helen Rogers was engaged in statistical work for the recently organized Child’s Welfare Association. The medium’s crystal now took me to the snow-capped peaks of Alaska. In one of the prosperous trading concerns, Virginia Johnson was busily discussing the details of an ex¬ change of goods with an Eskimo chief. In charge of the transportation department of a large Alas¬ kan mining concern Mathew Slovick was supervising the over¬ hauling of a three-ton truck. As I gazed, another mountain scene presented itself to me. This time it was a popular girl’s camp deep in the Adirondacks. Ruby Lapin was instructing a few novices in swimming. At the entrance to one of the dormitories I could see Dolly Keller, camp dietician, giving her approval of the items on the daily menu card. The misty clouds in the crystal ball seemed to evaporate with a final swirl, and the globe became merely a crystal ball again. My seance was ended. The magician arose and I placed five dollars in his out¬ stretched hand. “My assistant, Mr. Burke Carpenter, will see you to the door,” he said. Concealing my surprise, I turned to leave, but my eyes were arrested by the sight that met them as the medium deftly re¬ moved his turban with one sweep of his arm. He then divested himself of an excellent set of false whiskers and bushy eyebrows. Astounded and hardly able to believe my eyes, I fled. It was Chalmer Pritchard! Page Sixteen Class Poem TEMPUS FUGIT” (Time Flies) When J recall that half my youth is past, That each new year, much nobler than the last, Has taught me in a conscientious way, To reap the fruits of education’s pay— Though not quite aged yet, I still cannot forget— O Tempus fugit.tempus fugit. When I ask God to grant this thing to me: To make me always wise enough to see The glory of our Alma Mater’s name: To always speak of it in highest fame— My heart in rapture swells, Pride in me ever dwells, O Tempus fugit.tempus fugit. When I thank God for what he’s done for me: To help me grasp the opportunity Of education in our modern day— My spirit, o’ercome, can say: Soar high, my soul, Attain thy goal, O Tempus fugit.tempus fugit.

Page Thirty-two ICttprarg urirtips anil (Clubs Edgar Allan Poe Literary Society HE EDGAR ALLAN POE Literary Society has had a very successful year, considering the fact that we were late in getting started. Our Sponsor, Mrs. Thompson, has been very efficient. Although the greater part of our society was composed of Freshmen, we trust that this bodes success for the s ociety of next year. How¬ ever, the Freshmen were not slow in giving their support, and we trust that they will always do so. Our programs have proved quite interesting and instructive. The society has been meeting every fourth Monday and every second Wednesday. The officers of our society were as follows: President _ First Vice-President __ Second Vice-President Third Vice-President _ Secretary __ _ Sergeant-at-Anns_ Reporter_ _Annie Daniel _Francis Lazenby _Lydia Elliott _Annie Ilood _Lavinia Harrison _Durwood Stowe _Robert Elmore The graduating Seniors who were members of the Society, extend their best wishes. The following were the members of our Society: Elizabeth Harrison Almeyda Spratley Otelia Heretick Fillmore Smith Larry Curran Caldwell Munt Hilly Heflin Fred Juer Homer Lee Krout Alice Gilliam Adolph Makovosky Marsden Wallace Mildred Joyce Dorothy Cobb Josephine Ameen Fred Ameen Helen Charvat Otis Thompson Rae Goodman Charlotte Black Mildred Alderson Margaret Wood Myra Birchett Jane Curran Joe Broyhill Virgie Bazantt Elizabeth Henry James Cross Rosemary Howell Clyde Collins Donald Ruxton Mary Harris Sidney Lanier Literary Society During the 1932-33 school semester the Sidney Lanier Lit¬ erary Society has been very active. Miss Williams and Mr. Lead- better were chosen as sponsors. Miss Williams directed a play, “Bargains in Cathay,” which was enjoyed by the entire student body. CLUBS AND SOCIETIES—Continued Debating comprised a major part of the club activities dur¬ ing the year and two of the Society members, Billy Green and Waller Lescure, were on the debating team. Sarah Davis represented the Society in the Beauty Pageant. The officers for the year were: President _Waller Lescure First Vice-President _Dorothy Lewis Second Vice-President_Chalmer Pritchard Secretary-Treasurer_ . Inez Cox Sergeant-at-Arms_Sol Goodman We regret that we will lose many of our active members by graduation, but we feel sure that with the cooperation of all members we will make next year a banner year and choose for our motto: “To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield ' ' The Forensic Club The Forensic Club of Hopewell High School under the spon¬ sorship of Mr. Leadbetter and Mr. Donahoe, has been very suc¬ cessful in its literary engagements this session. The question chosen throughout the State this year for de¬ bate was “Resolved: That Congress should enact the Fess Radio Bill allocating fifteen per cent of all broadcasting facilities to education purposes exclusively.” Our affirmative team com¬ posed of Christine Parker and Waller Lescure did not lose a de¬ cision, and our negative team composed of Billy Green and Annie Daniel lost only one. The girl reader, Virginia Peeples, won from all her opponents. These five students were eligible to partici¬ pate in the state- wide contest held at Charlottesville. Those who were not eligible to go to Charlottesville, but who did win recognition in their local contests were Clara Faw, girl speaker; William Kanak, boy speaker; and Stuart Rivenbark, boy reader. LAST MINUTE NEWS FLASH! Christine Parker and Wal¬ ler Lescure, the Affirmitive Debating team, and Virginia Peeples, girl reader, won Class B Championships in the State contests at Charlottesville.

President_ Madelene Stowe Vice-President_ Annie Belle Toney Secretary-Treasurer_Rachel Via Chairman Program Committee_Virginia Atwater The work of the Home Economics Club this year has been varied and has included all phases of home making. At the be¬ ginning of the year the club gave a party and initiated all the new members. The club rendered valuable assistance to the Red Cross. The girls made four complete layetts and other garments. At Christ¬ mas they donated fruit for needy people. Some of the club members substituted in the school cafe¬ teria during Mrs. Davis’ illness. This experience helped them when they served lunch to the school board and later served a dinner for the V. P. I. Club. Many new books have been added to the department library; and new shrubs planted around the cottage. sj: s|c % :J: Hopewell High School Library Miss Goff, Librarian. Our library has a collection of 2,494 books, 56 bound volumes of magazines, and five newspapers, of which the Sunday New York Times is one. New pamphlets and pictures have been added to the vertical file, and we subscribe to 41 current magazines. We have two bulletin boards which we change frequently and on which we have material about vocations, birthdays of famous people, holidays, and other interesting events. Our library work is not limited to Hopewell High School Library, but has been extended to B Village and Patrick Cope¬ land libraries through cataloging and classifying of new books, and mending old books. This year we gave a library play and received 150 good books and money for new books and supplies. In addition to this the school board gave us enough money to secure 200 new books.

Adams Ruth Hood Josephine Cormany Eleanor Woody Caldwell Munt Bill Heflin Virginia Peeples Alice Gilliam Helen Beth Marks Louise Bear The Latin Department The Latin Department has accomplished many things this year. Each class has undertaken different projects and the re¬ sults have been most successful. The Latin I classes made attractive May baskets and sent to each home room. The Latin II classes presented two pro¬ grams in assembly which were thoroughly enjoyed. The Latin IV class was most fortunate in getting Mrs. Makovsky to visit them and speak to them on the early history of the Bohemians. Several members of the Latin department wrote to Chur, Switzerland, for facts concerning their early history. They re¬ ceived an answer written in Latin. One of the most interesting projects of the Latin depart¬ ment was the exhibit given in Richmond, in which all classes were represented. The Latin seniors has as their project the publication of “Alipes Nuntius.” The 1933 issue was one of the best ever published. Monogram Club The Monogram Club is composed of boys who have won letters in athletics. The club endeavors to further clean sport and extend athletics in the school. This year, as a project, with the aid of our new sponsor, Mr. Smith, the club has started collecting pictures of the various athletic teams since the beginning of Hopewell High. The pic¬ tures will be framed and hung in the hall. The officers are: Ligon Jones _ Bill Johnson Frank Wheeler Reuben Lewis Mr. Smith _ _President __ Sergeant-at-Arms .

All our efforts to get higher in the building failed; but you “can’t keep a good man down” in every way.

PARSON Mr. Leslie Wright Parson, Athletic Director of Hopewell High School, came to us in 1927 from William Mary College where he had established a conspicuous athletic record. Coach Parson, or just “Coach,” as he is called by the boys, has served the school faithfully for seven years. During this period he has instilled into the members of his teams a clean fighting spirit that has become characteristic of Hopewell High. Through his untiring efforts and constant study under famous football coaches of America, he has raised Hopewell from the depths of athletic obscurity to a position that makes the name of Hopewell “Blue Devils” something to be feared by opposing teams of the state. We are very fortunate to have such a man as our coach, and we hope that he will remain with us, and carry still higher the name of H. H. S. A. S. THOMPSON Mr. Alpheus Sitman Thompson, assist¬ ant coach and member of the faculty, is a graduate of William Mary Col¬ lege. Since 1928 he has worked hard with Coach Parson to develop our teams. NANCY DUPUY JOHNSTON Miss Nancy Johnston, girls’ athletic director, is also a graduate of William and Mary. The records of her basket¬ ball teams and the reputation of our girls for having high ideals prove her to be an able coach and leader. Page Forty-two Football Team L. W.

The team was slated to have an unsuccessful year, due to the lack of experience of the players. Coach Parson worked hard to teach the boys enough to hold their own in a game. The first game opened with Chester High on our own back lot where they were trounced by the Blue Devils by the score of 29-0. Practically the whole squad saw service in this game, and we had started a season that was to end in the greatest success for Hopewell High School. Next, we motored to Newport News, and were greeted by a revengeful team whom we had beaten the previous year by a score of 6-0. The Typhoons were thought to be much stronger than the Hopewell lads. In the first quarter the Ship¬ builders scored a touchdown which was not overcome until the third quarter when Stowe, due to good interference of his team¬ mates, raced 40 yards for a touchdown. The game ended 6 all. The following Saturday we encountered the South Norfolk team at Norfolk and won a hard-fought game 6-0. This was the third victory of the season and the boys were somewhat en¬ couraged by the record. For the first time in the history of the school, Hopewell High defeated the Fredericksburg Yellow Jackets on their home ground. Though the game was slow and uninteresting, the Blue Devils were on the large end of a 14-0 score. Undergoing the strenuous schedule, the Hopewell lads went up against two strong teams in three days, respectively, on a trip that extended into five days. The Charlottesville Fives were defeated by a score of 19-7 in a colorful, interesting and hard- ]M -- Page Forty-four fought game. Oliver, collecting all of his power, put the pigskin over for two touchdowns after brilliant runs which added to the interest of the game. This was the first game that the “Fives” had lost to a high school on Virginia grounds. Encouraged by the preceding victory, the Blue Devils work¬ ed hard to down the Alexandria team 25-0. The aerial attack which netted most of the gains, baffled the opponents. Playing on our heme ground for the first time in four weeks, we entertained the strong Hampton team that had beaten us for many years. Each player put out all he had in a hard-fought game for honor and in the end we were on the large end of a 6-0 score. Little force was needed to trounce the energetic team from Clarendon. All scrubs were used in this game and showed up well. After putting across the ball for a few touchdowns the whistle blew for a 25-0 victory. Came the greatest game of the season. The strong team from Petersburg paid its visit to Hopewell to participate in the annual game of the two great rivals. Before a crowd of 3,000 thrilled spectators, both teams fought brilliantly to take honors for their respective schools. After many heart-breaking plays “Buzz” Ford, Blue Devil end, received a short pass for the only score of the game. Petersburg was unsuccessful with their aerial attack and their noted lateral passes were smeared by the hard-hitting Blue Devils. This was the first time that Hope- well High School had ever defeated the Crimson Wave on the gridiron. Thus ended the greatest season in the history of H. H. S. With a record of eight victories and one tie Hopewell claimed the Independent State Championship, which was recognized by the leading papers of the State. Due to the hard work of Coaches L. W. Parson and A. S. Thompson, and the team itself, Hopewell High School lays down a record that will long be remembered in the minds of its supporters. Page Forty-five Baseball Team L. W.

There were also many positions to be filled in the outfield and infield due to the vacancies left by graduates in ’32. Working with good prospects, Coach Parson has put on the diamond the hardest hitting team in the history of H. H. S. All new boys have shown up well and we hope before the season is over that they will have filled their positions in excellent style. So far this season the Blue Devils have won four games and lost five, scoring 79 runs against their opponents 55. Playing good ball, the Hopewell basebaii nine were only downed by a small margin by three of the best Freshmen teams in the State. Being beaten in a double-header in basketball by John Marshall, the Blue Devils sought revenge Hbd trounced their baseball team by a score of 15-1. We hope that the team will keep up the hard¬ hitting and roll up the runs that they have started. - HT Page Forty-seven Girls’ Basketball Miss Nancy Johnston, Coach Botton Row (left to right) : Christine Collie_ Center Billie Green _S.

Following up with the good record of last year the girls can boast of a team that is as good as any in the State. Due to the hard work of Coach Johnson the girls stuck to¬ gether very well which helped to make the season successful. We should be, and are proud of the good showing that the girls made this year. - :{ 1 f I I S} - Tennis Team The newly organized Tennis Team of the Hopewell High School up-to-date has had three matches, two with Woodrow Wilson High School of Portsmouth, and one with Petersburg. Each boy is working hard to make tennis an interesting sport and to be appreciated by the school at large. The members are working hard to improve their position on the tennis ladder. The boys on the squad, according to rank, are as follows: 1 . Waller Lescure 7. Tracy Minor o Howard Lawrence 8. Stuart Rivenbark 3. Elroy Phillips 9. Omar Johnson 4. John Djovanidis 10.

All games were interesting and hard fought, and in most of the games Hopewell lost by only a few points. The Blue Devils went up against the best teams in the State and held the State champ¬ ions to as few points as any other school in Virginia.
