We did not realize the full beauty and blessing of our dwelling last year, but living in it two years has brought to us a keener sense of appreciation, It has glorified for us our last two years of High School. We've come to know what it means to have an adequate stage on which to ove rcome shyness. We've developed physical strength and morale in its beautiful gymnasium. We've enjoyed Math, Latin and English a little more because of sitting in comfortable, airy classrooms. So, in appreciation of the foresight of him who recognized our needs—who advocated such an equipment as we have—who made the ideal of a beautiful dwelling possible, we do now dedicate this Final Issue of the 1926 Acorn to— Mr. C.

Forsooth, he has been our guide piloting us in all phases of our life as a Class—always kind—always gentle— standing for our rights and just in his decisions. Though we have worried him, oft thoughtlessly—he has been the students’ friend first, last and always. We do not feel that our Final Issue would be com- plete without an appreciation of our pilot. For, in after years, we shall remember him in all his loveliness of character. Who do we appreciate. more than our— MR. PARSONS Che Acorn % g ALPHA AND OMEGA TEP back now with me to the beginning of this, our final year. We lighted our dead torches at the altar of Knowledge and Inspiration and then, grasping firmly the key of Opportunity, unlocked the door leading to the fulfillment of these. Each painting, adorning the walls of the shining vista of the future, we have brought into life and reality—carrying fearlessly onward our torch. We have made those of the Honor System, clean athletics, clubs, and activities of all kinds, successful. All glow with life! We have passed onward across the threshold of ’26 and frankly took an inventory of ourselves, finding things really worth while, then, continuing our re- search—our follies—now we have come to the last scene, the most glorious of them all—the Senior adorned with the true emblem of his dignity, still holding aloft his torch. Yes, we are that Senior! Look now, his hand 1s on the latch of a door we have not seen before. This is the door swinging outward into the world. Again, in our hands is placed a key—but one, now, of greater opportunity—that of Success in Life. This is the end of Hi School Life but only the beginning of real life. We must pass through the portal of this door out into the world, holding aloft our flaming torch. This is Alpha and Omega. Have you not the key? —FRANcES WILson, ’26. Editor.

Although he has a rather sleepy nature, he manages to get his lessons. His disposition is hard to ruffle. Latin is his “Waterloo,” but he excells in science and geometry.

(74) BACKWARD GLANCES HAT a task for one to even attempt the writing of the history of so re- nowned a class as the Class of ’26. The present Senior Class was sprinkled with budding geniuses and athletes even in those far off Freshman days. Can you recall the sixty totally exempt students that Lee Junior sent over to old Hi? . Installed at old Jefferson High we were entitled ‘Rats,’ to be sure. Will we ever forget the relieved sigh we heaved when Mr. Parsons announced that there would be no “Rat Day” for us, because of our high scholastic record? Will we forget the “copper” medal that the Seniors presented to Marvin Saunders? Or the forbidden spiral of a fire escape that we so loved to slide down, or the big study hall with the sacred Senior row in the middle, or the creaking steps, or the old cafeteria? No, we will not forget them! Although we were newcomers to the school we immediately found ourselves a part of that sentimental glow of distress which hung like a veil over the old school. As we watched the new building rear its stately head we felt that, after all, the new is not always the best. The fall of ’24 marks our passing from the old High School into the stately halls of the new Jefferson High—Juniors. We will never forget that thrill of pride—the feeling of exultation—that sensation of acute joy we experienced, as we passed beneath the arched door of the new Hi, from which we were to be the second class to graduate. We immediately entered into all of the activities of school life, and many embryo athletes and intellectuals from our ranks won fame in both fields. The Class was organized for the first time. Junior Representatives were placed on the Junior World-News and the-Acorn staffs, all of whom did good work. Then, too, there were Junior members in all of the organizations and clubs, boosting the new Hi as much as they had the old one. The fall of ’25 rolled around and we were Seniors. The Class was organized and officers were elected to steer us through the year of ’25-’26. We started the work in earnest. During the spring term the Seniors of ’25 had inaugurated the Codperative System and Council. It is true we cannot claim the honor of having pioneered in the field of coéperation, but we can claim the honor of having (75) wt Che Acorn +s followed up the good work of the Class of ’25. The Cooperative Council started work in the fall of ’25, equipped with a capable Senior president, a clearly defined constitution and last, but not least, the hearty support of the student body, led by the Seniors. The Big Brothers, the Boosters, the J. L. S., the M. W. L. S., the Hi-Y., and the Girls’ Club, mainly composed of Seniors, have all done splendid work endeavoring to uphold high principles of work and play throughout. The Junior World-News and the Acorn, under the editorship of Seniors, have im- proved vastly in size and material. Although we cannot boast of the honors we have won on the field of sports, we feel that we would be doing our steady, splendid teams a great injustice if we did not mention their determined efforts. Two things stand out in our Senior life as we glance back over those happy days—Senior Roll Call and the programs we gave every Tuesday. It was a great help to us to have Roll Call together. It set the Seniors apart from the other students and created class consciousness. It would have been perfect if it had not been for the “Rats” in the balcony. Their constant capering and gnawing was Monday and our only cross. Our weekly program was admirably planned Wednesday, closed study hali. Thursday, Senior Day. Friday, Assembly Day, but Tuesday was the red letter day to us! Do you recall the peppy programs that were given? Each one seemed the best of all. They proved to be of great benefit because they furnished a medium of self-expression for every student. Hidden treasures were brought to light, many of which were really valuable. It was a priceless opportunity because it was utterly democratic and imparted to each Senior a feeling of personal responsibility. And now we have come to the last lap of our journey as Seniors of Jefferson High with a feeling of great pride and yet of great sadness that we must, so soon, turn our backs on our dear old Alma Mater and “set our faces toward the shining sun” —the schools of higher learning. We feel that we have been in our new home such a short while—only two years—but we realize clearly what a wonderful advantage it has been to us to be able to study here even these few years. We appreciate the fact that our advancement in every branch of school life has been largely due to the magnificent equipment afforded us in the new school. Dear Jefferson High, many have been dropped and many have been added to our original members, but wherever one of our flock may stray, may the blessed- ness of your influence guide him always. —C.ass Historian, ‘26. CARRY ON! When we recall the days of yore When we were rats, and nothing more ; When all our steps were made in fear Of bothering some teacher dear, Or making some great Senior sore By treading loudly on the floor— Ah, then we laugh to think that we Seniors ourselves have come to be, And as the Seniors of that day, Have everything the self-same way. The airs they wore as Seniors then We have put on; although we ken, That we're no more than rats grown wise, And more important in OUR eyes. “How is it, then, you walk the halls Ignoring teacher’s frantic bawls, Strutting around with haughty mien Without a lesson in your bean?” The rats may say. Ah, little ones, That is our secret and, anon, When you have also come to be Exalted beings such as we, You, too, will find that secret out, And then you, too, will start to shout, “T am a Senior! Give to me Th’ respect due what I’ve come to be!” You will forget the fact that you Were once an humble being, too; For Semoritis gets us all, In school and college, great and small. Tis a disease which makes us proud And holds our heads above the clouds. Yes, we are proud. But, little mice, Just let us rave—we've paid the price. We've studied, worried, fussed around, Trying our best to gain some ground Against spring fever, dates, and all The things that tempt us from these halls. We've done our best, and, now, my friends, It’s up to you to take the ends Of all the threads we have begun And “carry on” till the rope 1s spun. Our time has passed; yours just begun; Catch up the torch and cary on! —Crass Poet, ’26.

RICHARDS STONE ( 80.) Che Acorn SOMETIME LATER HE prominence of the Class of ’26 had spread over the whole world and members of the Class were receiving letters and offers from all the larger concerns. I had received letters offering me positions with con- cerns in Chicago, New York, San Francisco and many more of the world’s largest cities. After studying each letter carefully, I decided I would accept the Chicago position; quite naturally, I attribute my success to being a member of the Class of ’26. While traveling about over the different parts of the world it is surprising the number of old friends you meet. While in Chicago recently, | was strolling around when I saw a familiar figure striding ahead of me. Upon rushing up and touching his shoulder I found I was correct in my surmise—it was none other than “Bob” Lybrook, now a nationally famous lawyer and politician! We talked for a few minutes and he invited me to his hotel for dinner that evening. It’s amazing what a start Ole Jefferson Hi gives a man! Bob’s still holding down presidencies. After dolling up in my glad rags | proceeded to the hotel and just as I was entering I heard a gay laugh behind me. On turning I found it to be Mr. and Mrs. John Michael (formerly Mary Hall). “Johnnie” is now president of the American Federation of Bakers and a very prominent business man. Mary was just as happy and carefree as in the days gone by. When I hummed 3ambalina” she thought she was in the Booster Musical Comedy folk dance and began to twirl. When I finally found Bob again we entered the dining room and, while eating, were entertained by Leslie Fowler, a famous concert pianist. Thestle Stanley also rendered several vocal selections and these were received with great applause. After dinner we went to the Metropolitan Opera House to hear Virginia Showalter make her debut as a pianist. Needless to say it was successful as Virginia captured the hearts of her audience with her playing. The next day I left for Los Angeles, California. On the way | stopped over in Kansas City to visit my old friend, Joe Laurence, now general manager of a large meat (bull) packing concern. I learned from Joe that it would be to my advantage to go to Hollywood instead of Los Angeles. Joe also took me to visit N. O. Wood, president of a large telephone company in that section. Acting on Joe’s suggestion I went to Hollywood and just as I was leaving the station I heard a beautiful voice say, “Well.” I knew at once that it was Mildred Shafer and she was more beautiful than ever! I was surprised to learn that she was Richard Dix’s leading lady and was very successful in their latest (81) Oo wt GE eae Otel +s hit, “My Ideal.” Mildred took me down to the Mack Sennet Studios and there I met a few of the famous bathing beauties. They included Martha Dold, “Pinky” Shofiner, Dorothy Glass and Rachael Michael. Anne Lunsford was business manager for this large corporation and it was through her efforts that they were so successful. Frances Mason was playing the lead in a large comedy production and was a wonderful comedian. Philip Ropp was art director and Arthur Wimmer was director. I had heard that Henry Cannaday lived here but on inquiring I found that he was pitching for the Pittsburgh Pirates. While wandering around, seeing the sights, I ran into George Milliken, who owned and operated a large aeroplane factory. He was leaving for New York in one of his fastest planes and on his invitation I accepted and in almost no time I was in New York. In New York I visited more studios and who do you suppose was the public ‘dol? None other than “Bill” McAfee, handsomer and more dignified than ever. With his leading lady, Mae Kelly, he was sweeping the country with his popularity. Meeting all these friends got my brain into a whirl, so I decided to find a drug store and snatch a coca-cola. I entered the first one I came to and after pushing my way through the vast crowd I finally reached the counter and there had a collapse because the man behind was none other than “Dick” Dalby, now a famous druggist in New York. He invited me to attend the “Follies” with him that evening. I had expected them to be the same old Follies but I received a happy surprise when I was taken into a magnificent new building which had been planned by the famous architect, Coy Foster. The show was owned by Alva Chamberlayne, Lorenzo Jefferson and Yvan Ripley, and the orchestra was under the direction of Linwood Atkinson, a famous musician. When the curtain went up I almost died for the Queen of the Follies was none other than Gay Armistead and the court jester was Phyllis Childress. A commotion in the rear of the theater attracted my attention and who should enter but Lucille Graves, wife of a multi-millionaire. 1 understand that Lucille is on every Board of Philanthrophy in New York. The following morning I visited the famous Greenwich Village and there, to my great surprise, I found Sarah Mahaney in a magnificent studio working with her painting. I have learned since that this was her masterpiece. She had traveled all over Europe, studying under the great masters, before starting it. At Columbia University I greeted Frances Wilson, dean of women, and Elizabeth, head of public speaking. I understand that a good many others that excelled at Jefferson High were a part of the University faculty but I decided to return another day and greet them, as a long distance call from Chicago reminded me I was a busy man. —( LASS PROPHET, 20.

The giving out of letters for athletic prowess, or a Senior stun t on Tuesday morning, we've secretly wondered if we, too, might be those proud performers. Yes, we are coming back and show ’em what’s really in us—Just watch us, the Class of ’28. “The spirit of Jefferson Hi has gotten us.” n n es O oc = z = a SSV10 JHYONOHdOS Hen ay ages wt wt Che Acorn +s JEFFERSON HI E. in the full realization of the convenience and the facilities of our building, shall devote this space to a description of the departments thereof. Each and every department contributes something to a phase of our development and all, as a whole, make up what is known as Jefferson Hi. Let us now make a tour of our building. But, as our time is limited, we can only consider the special departments and cannot consider it in detail. First we shall take up the regular classrooms. All are airy and comfortable ; all offer opportunity for real endeavor. We are impressed with their convenience. Next we shall visit the science department. First the Chemi stry Lecture room with a desk fitted up for demonstrations; and the Chemical Lab. fitted up with individual tables and apparatus. Next the Physical Lab. ; in like manner have the details been considered here also. Then the Biology Labs. and classrooms com- bined. Nothing is wanting to complete their efficiency. . On this same floor we see the Latin Lab. which contains the work of the Latin students. Here we see a model of Cesar’s bridge and various other things of interest. The Latin Bulletin Board presents another phase of their work— showing the modern use of Latin and Mythology in the everyday world. From here let us go to the Commercial Department. One of these rooms 1s fitted up with the best typewriters and, in this room, efficiency in typography is held high. Next to this room there is the Mechanical Drawing room with special raised desks. Going around to the other side of the hall we see the rooms of the Home Economics Department and those of Sewing and Cooking ; both admirably suited for the work done in them. The cafeteria is also on this floor, with tables and equipment for keeping the food warm. Eating here is made twice as pleasant. Now we come to two very important departments—for the boys—the Manual Training and the Printing. The Manual Training room offers an unlimited opportunity for experimentation and skill. The Printing Department contains a printing press and other useful equipment. And now, walking our way to the upper hall again, we come to the lovely gym where it is a delight to use the apparatus and develop physical prowess. Directly in front of the gym is the big and beautiful auditorium where inspiring assemblies are held. The folding doors between the two open on the stage. On this stage much poise is gained and training in the field of dramatics and public speaking. Such an auditorium is an inspiration in itself. Thus we have, in brief, made a tour of Jefferson Hi, but were we to go through it again we would find many more things of interest. We have missed them but they cannot be done without. eee ayy: (86 ) = {. Front Entrance. 7. Main Office. 8. Library. 9. Chemical 12. Gymnasium (Inside). 13. Cafeteria. 2. West Entrance. 3.

And, best of all, his dearest friend, Pierre La Grange, was with them, helping to break trail to civilization and the priest. Paul sang snatches of song as he ran behind the dog sled or broke trail ahead. The only thing which had marred his happiness was the white which had appeared twice on Marie’s pretty face since morning. Each time the two men had frantically rubbed away the frost with snow, the painful but necessary remedy for frost-bite. All through the day they had heard the wolves howling upon their trail. _The beasts were famished because of the extraordinarily intense cold of that long winter which had driven the smaller animals away. Indians had come into forts with horrible tales of broken, frozen bones found near isolated trappers’ cabins—the remains of a grisly banquet left by the grey terror of the north—the great timber-wolf. Paul grew silent as he heard the wolves howl on their back trail. Sometimes the sound was near and sometimes far but somehow it seemed to draw always closer as night drew on. They still felt no fear, because they knew they should be in Quebec long before nightfall. They both knew the trail, having been over it a thousand times, but the heavy snow had left deep drifts, deceptive to both memory and feet. The trail became less and less familiar as the afternoon passed and night drew on. Paul knew that they must have taken the wrong fork in the trail. There were two roads branching off the main trail. One led straight as an arrow to Quebec and the other wound it s way to the cabin of an old wood-cutter. As the night began to fall Paul realized they were on the old road, forty miles from Quebec and ten from the old cabin. The wolves were pressing them now—no time to turn back. Paul cursed himself for his stupidity in losing the way. Pierre tried to cheer him but in his heart lay a cold dread—the fear of death. He knew that they could never make the cabin unless—unless something held back the wolves. He thought of Paul, his friend, his pal since childhood, how they had played and fought, the sacrifices each had made for the other. He thought of Celeste, the sweetheart who had died, nothing but loneliness in life for him now. He thought of Marie and Paul, how happy they would be when they reached Quebec. The future—for Paul, everything; for himself, nothing. é Did he love his friend enough to die for him? If he did it meant safety and happiness for Paul and Marie; if not, their death and blighted happiness. By the side of an old trail there is a grave with a little wooden cross. On the cross is carved, “Pierre La Grange, who died for his friend.”’ —T. J. Burke. ( 88 ) wt Ceabece Fi Cine +s THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT E, the Senior Class of 1926, being of sound mind (though rather delapidated ), do proclaim this to be our last will and testament. As to our estate which we possess do we dispose of as follows: Bob Lybrook wills his Spanish books to Miss Jones—trusting that their presence will cause her to remember his wisdom on the subject. Sarah Mahaney requests that the inscription of a dollar mark be placed on her tombstone to remind the world that she was a martyr to the cause of collecting “dues.” Frances Wilson says that whenever she sees an oak she will always think of the Acorns, especially those of 726. Henry Headen wills the school a megaphone which he has christened “Pep.” The donor hopes it will be used by future generations! Philip Ropp intends to devote his life to the study of the different varieties of fish—his main purpose is to discover the gold in goldfish. According to Patsy Kern’s will, the school will receive a handsome joke book. No brains, but— Harry Stone has reflected a great deal of “color” at Hi, and is planning a very “bright” future. Bert Keyser announced that since he has acquired such a vast knowledge of Latin he will go into business there when school is out. When asked what parting words she intended to leave at Hi, Elizabeth Wilson replied, “So’s your ole man!” Lorenzo Jefferson wills his pen name “Ethudicius” to next year’s Junior W orld-News staff. May they be inspired as he “used to was.” Anne Lunsford bids farewell with— “A fond good-by for Jefferson High— May the Girls’ Club, fine and true, Always rule—as women do.” Cyril Morgan says he hopes Miss Board will sometime become reconciled to chewing gum and other peculiarities at Hi. Dorothy Glass is quite distressed. She can't figure out how the Junior World-News staff will survive without “Selah” next year. Carl Richards leaves this bit of advice: Flunk, and the School flunks with you— Study, and you pass alone. Billy Stump declares that the worst thing about leaving school is that you don’t have your teachers to argue with. (89 ) wt Che Acorn +s Frank Cooper has been heard to remark that “knowledge is power and ignorance is zero.” As the poet says, “In the spring a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love,” which has been noted at Hi. Also, the fancies of many of our Seniors turn beyond Commencement to Summer School. SUPPLEMENT—TO THE FACULTY To Miss Sully Hayward we leave a duck farm near Hollins College where she may retire after a strenuous day’s work and get her “ducks in a row.” To Miss Rath we leave a little tin trumpet with which she may arouse from dreamland any member of the Junior World-News staff who sleeps on the job. To Miss Lovelace, due to her love of horses, we leave a virgil pony. To our hero, Mr. Falwell, we leave a mustache cup in remembrance of his little departed pet. We hereby declare that Miss Suthers shall be sole executrix and no one shall deprive her of her right. Taken under our hand, signed and sealed, this, the EIGHTEENTH day of MAY, 1926. —TuHeE SENIOR CLAss oF 1926. wt AMBITION There’re many things we ought to do And those we may transgress ; But we will never err from our Pursuit of happiness. Now, many find their long-sought goal In their pursuit of pleasure. The greatest joy they have in life— Accumulating treasure. And some have still another joy, Short-lived—but so entrancing, They’re spending all their high school days In “cutting” and in dancing. Oh ye, who want the worth-while gifts That give us true elation, You soon will climb another rung, And that—your graduation! We must in education rise, And we must gain in knowledge, So when we leave ole Jefferson Hi, Let’s start again in college. —FRANCES STROTHER HENry, ’26. (90) % Che Acorn if Gr Poy sLOVE T was twilight. In the gypsy camp the women were busy about the camp fire and the men, tired from their day’s hunt, sat around smoking their pipes and exchanging bits of news picked up here and there. The little gypsy children, exhausted from play, lay in the cool grass watching the birds as they flew about in search of their supper. All was peaceful and calm, so it seemed, but in the heart of one of the hand- some young gypsy men there was sorrow and anger, mixed with a determination for revenge. That day Juan had asked Maria, the pretty daughter of the chief, to marry him and she had refused because Paublo, the villainous gypsy who had given up his roving life and then had come back to it, wanted her to marry him. Juan knew that Maria did not love Paublo, but he had money to offer her and the pretty dark-eyed gypsy girl loved the jingle of gold. How could he win her back? He had no money as had Paublo. He had no education and no fine manners, as Paublo thought he had. No, he must try to win her by love alone. Sighing deeply, he arose from his position on the ground where he had been watching the busy women and went inside his tent. He did not come out again, even for supper. “Where is Juan?” some one asked. “Oh, I guess he’s in his tent sulking,” laughed the hard-hearted Maria. Yes, he was in his tent, but it was not temper that kept him there. When Maria’s words reached him, borne on the clear air, the tears sprang into his eyes and a faint resolve took deep root in his heart. Hastily brushing the tell-tale tears from his eyes he stalked from his tent and walked straight to the long table under the trees where the merry band was having supper. Touching Paublo on the shoulder he silently but forcefully bade him come with him. Paublo obeyed and they both left the camp. The incident was forgotten as the meal progressed and the two gypsies were forgotten and not even missed from the circle around the camp fire. Even Maria forgot them as she played and flirted. But what was happening in the woods not so far from camp? There the gypsy rivals were having their little party. After an angry discussion Juan made a proposition. Paublo was asked to choose. Would he rather fight for the girl they both loved or would he leave the place and give Juan every chance of winning Maria back? Paublo chose the latter, for he was a coward, and from that time was seen no more in the camps of the gypsies. (91) H wt Che Acorn +s All was still and quiet in the gypsy camp when a lone figure crept into the clearing. He walked straight to his tent, entered, took up his guitar and stepped out again into the moonlight. He stood a moment deliberating. Then he moved quietly past the tents until he came to the leader’s tent. Here he paused. All was peaceful. He could even hear the breathing of the quiet sleepers. But wait—there was one uneven break. What was that? It sounded like a sob. Could Maria be crying for him? Immedi- ately her preference for Paublo was forgotten by Juan. He dropped on his knee and, lightly touching his guitar, he began to sing in his mellow gypsy voice: “Come, my love, the stars are shining, Time is flying, love is sighing.” Immediately a figure appeared at the tent door. Juan dropped his guitar and leaped forward. Maria was in his arms; his at last. No word was spoken; no word was ne eded. The next day a beautiful gypsy wedding ceremony was performed. The lovers joined hands under the solemn giants of the forest, pledging themselves together forever and ever. —CONSTANCE E.

You'll be faithful in that trust, as you have been in safely keeping our coats and more material things.

They've made | themselves felt for three years and have played no small part in Ole Hi’s recent development. In a school of thirteen hundred students, where activities are many and varied, the necessity for supporting and boosting these various enterprises is a most important one. Such a work has been under- taken and carried through by the Booster Club of J. H. S. most creditably and effectively. The Booster Club is a group of Jefferson’s best picked girls, elected on their all-round ability to comprehend and get things over. The Club has been a factor in the School since 1923, and each year has done a bigger and more important work. Its president is Martha Dold and it is needless to say that “Crip” has carried us through a most successful year. But still, how could the Club have done without its faculty advisor, Miss Sully Hayward? wt BIG BROTHER CLUB HE Big Brother Club is composed of twenty-five of High School's popular boys. A member of the Club is chosen by his popularity, school spirit, and willingness to work. The aim of the Big Brother Club 1s, first, to support and boost all High School activities. The other purpose is to serve as a social club for the members.

Shields Johnson and Eliza- beth Wilson were absent at the time the picture was taken and so are not represented in it. wt Che Acorn te MARTHA WASHINGTON LITERARY SOCIETY HE importance of the ‘part which the Martha Washington Literary Society plays in the life of Jefferson Hi can hardly be over-estimated. Its purpose has been to develop the girls by giving them self-confiden ce and training in the arts of debating, public speaking and reading. The Society is composed of a group of girls intensely interested in all literary activities and is a democratic organization. The stimulus for its work has been the literary meet held annually at Charlottesville. All during this past year the members have been working toward this goal, although much fun and interesting times have been had as well. By contests and eliminations a team has been chosen to take part in these meets. They, with the boys’ team, will represent Jefferson Hi in a true way. ; The girls in the past year have been loyal to the Society and to the adviser, Mrs. Burt, who has guided them. They have proved-their love for MW. L. 5. and have done excellent work. The officers who have led the Society through this year are as follows: FALL, ’25 SPRING, ’26 J ENAASUGNC UACERD Sy OOO Eleanor Robertson President Elizabeth Wilson Vice President Jane Carter VacoePresidcitr meee Elizabeth Root Recording Secretary........

Eleanor Roberts Critic Rose King Critic Evelyn Bingham Censor Frances Snyder Censor Lilly Boswell wt COOPERATIVE COUNCIL OMMENCING work with the highest ideals, the Codperative Council fully opened its season with an assembly, late in the fall, at which the president, David Weinstein, pleaded for support and cooperation from the student body and from the faculty. Campaigns of various kinds for the good of the School were introduced by the vice president, Virginia Peters. Mr. Morris Masinter administered the oath of codperation to the student body at which time this pledge was practically unanimously adopted. During the whole of the school year the Council endeavored to make Jefferson Hi the best school in the State. Cases of various sorts were tried and all offenders were dealt with justly. If criticism is in order, the Council should not be criticised ; if praise, it should not be lauded ; for, after all, success or failure was mainly in the hands of each individual. (103) —D.

M. A., at Bedford. The second game proved too much for the “Magicians” and they lost to the “Frosh” of W.. L., 33 to 0. The following week the “Big Red Team” defeated the Junior Varsity of Bluefield College, 26 to 0. The next Saturday Ole Hi lost again, after out-playing the “Baby Squadron” from V. M. I., led by Albert Barnes, Ole Hi’s former star. The final score was 7 to 0, V. M. I. The next game was won easily from Danville Hi to the tune of 32 to 6. The following boys received the regulation “J”: Moody, end; Wimmer, tackle and center; Abbott, guard; Aliff, center; Carter, guard; Hill, tackle; Simmons, tackle; Pendleton, end; Marsh, end; Aldhizer, tackle; Gilbert (Captain), quarter- back; Milliken, half-back ; Lemon, half-back; Taylor, full-back ; Humphries, half- back; and Keyser, manager. (105 ) Whe Meorn BOYS’ BASKETBALL TEAM 1 a a BOYS’ BASKET BALL TARTING out without a letter-man back, the Jefferson Hi quintet had a very hard season. But, considering its lack of experience on the basket ball court, it made a very good try and tried to redeem itself by winning the last three games, two of which were played on foreign courts. Coach “Joe” Engleby should be congratulated for his excellent coaching of this green and untried team. It was with his help only that the local boys showed up so well at the last. Pendleton (Captain), Taylor, Settle, Hurt, Harne, Engleby and Marsh (Manager), received letters. (106) GIRLS’ BASKET BALL TEAM GIRLS’ BASKET BALL N account of inter-class competition during November, practice for a varsity basket ball team did not start until the latter part of December. Even then a practically new team had to be formed, as only “Flossie” and “Crip” returned from last year’s varsity, but under Miss Rath’s able coaching, a team was turned out that Hi was exceedingly proud of; a team that won seven of the eight games played, that one being lost by only two points. And, although the girls were not in the league, much interest was shown at the games. by the loyal supporters of Hi. Vaughan, Dold, Shafer, Aldhizer, Aguly, Day, Graves and Casserly were awarded a “J. RECORD it. yas Stal Ee celle ia le TRACK TEAM2 S TRACK @ HE Track Team, thus far, has had a very successful season.

A. and Lynchburg and the championship meet at Charlottesville. The J. H. S. Track Team has some very promising material this year and hopes to win the championship. The team has been materially aided by the coaching of Albert A. Stone, Jr., former Mercersburg Academy and University of Virginia star track athlete and a member of a National Championship Relay Team; and Norton Stone, former Cornell star hurdler, once considered America’s best hurdler. The team hopes to end its season successfully this year, having always stood in the first division at the Championship meets. (108 ) BASEBALL TEAM BASEBALL HE baseball season started off with a bang this year and when the call for candidates was issued it brought out a human flood. With the help of the last year men, “Sap” Griffin, the stellar coach, was able to whip together a Magician nine that downed Rocky Mount Hi with a 24 to 9 victory, with only two weeks practice. The following Friday the local Hi boys vanquished R.-M. A., 4 to 3, after a twelve-inning battle. The next day the “Big Red Team” bit off more than it could chew and was defeated by the Frosh team of V. P. L., Porton: Vee Prosh,. W.. -L:, Greenbriar, “S. M. A. Lynchburg Hieand Danville Hi are still on the schedule to be met by the local boys. The pitching end is being upheld by “Bunny” Mays, “Pinkey” Crockett and Willard Oakley, while White and Schilling are showing up well behind the bat. The initial bag is held down by A. Wimmer, with Mastin and Laughorne on the second plate and hot corner, respectively. Humphries, the star short-stop, is still on duty. Taylor, Lemon and Pendleton are in the outfield waiting to catch any stray balls that may come out their way.
