35 CLASS HISTORY—Continued Our negative debating team is entered in the State Contest in Charlottesville, having won in the district at Richmond. Our boy reader was also sent to Charlottesville. The Athletic Association was very successful this year. We won many victories in the various branches. Many football and basketball games were won, and we hope this will be a re¬ cord year in athletics. We wish to express our sincere appreciation to all our teachers, especially this year’s Home-Room teachers, who are Mrs. Dorey, Mr. Thompson and Mr. Smith; for their whole¬ hearted aid and assistance. We also wish t o thank Miss Burch and Mr. Mallonee, and each teacher in the faculty for their cheerful assistance in our glorious ascent through high school. We are working very hard to make a success of our Senior Play, “Miss Cherryblossom.” This is an operetta, in which nearly all the Senior Class is represented. With the aid of Miss Lazenby and Mr. Smith, we hope to run the play for two nights. This year we are very proud to be the class with the high¬ est grades ever made by one student for four consecutive years. The whole class has one of the highest averages attained in the history of this school. We are at the very peak of our High School career and very soon we march forward into the days beyond, into our many, varied futures. —BETH ARCHER BARNARD. liltllllIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll Page twelve

1 CLASS HISTORY—Continued We studied, and worked hard, and passed our examinations, to become—-Juniors! Only one step more, and we would be at the top. f i Junior This year was begun with a very superior feeling on our part, the knowledge that we were now really important. This feeling was caused by the fact that we should give the Junior- Senior Banquet with the aid of our highly appreciated teachers, Miss Boston, Miss Williams and Mr. Thompson. Several of our classmates were very active members of the Forensic Club. Both of our debating teams were chosen to go to Charlottesville, and we had a girl and a boy reader sent to Richmond. Our Athletic Association was very successful in several different branches this year. This was the most successful basketball season the girls have ever had, losing only two of the fifteen games played. The baseball boys were also very successful, losing only two of their eighteen games. This year’s tennis teams were organized under Mr. Ellis’ instructions. They were very well organized and they played splendid games. This year, to our great delight, and pleasure, examinations were practically done away with and exemptions were placed in the annals of our High School. This greatly helped us to work towards the end of the year and our final goal—Our Senior Year and Graduation. Senior We have now come to the place in our high school career, where we wish we might slow up a little and enjoy all things to their fullest possible extent, our last high school year. We have worked hard on our “Kaleidoscope” with Mr. Smith as Sponsor, and we hope it will be the best ever produced in the history of our annual. This year we have a leather back for our annual, which makes it like the college books, yearly published. mi......................mi ■ £ Page eleven
