Every parent recognizes his child as the most promising. Even the casual observer will come to the con- clusion, “that is a splendid bunch of graduates.” Perhaps he will feel a bit of pride in them, a sense of security and confidence that youth to-day seems to awaken. If one of that group could analyze the many influences that have brought him to his present position, he would pay tribute to a firm, guiding hand, which has always re- mained in the background. Whose is this hand? Who, among the millions who watch the coming generation, has had the bravery to stand by them, to lead them, and to make them profit by others’ experience? What name, in the amount of work and devotion it represents, is next to “Mother” and ‘Father’ ? —Our Teacher !

With the mortar of my imagination I fastened it together. The panes of the windows were the gleams— The iridescent gleams of bubbles. It was beautiful as are the smiles Of children in their sleep— And I cherished it and protected it, For it was fragile as are all dreams; But one day the cold wind of reason came And blew-upon it and it was wafted away To the four corners of the world. I stood heartbroken, for I had builded long And the days of my youth were in that house. I am building again, but not with dreams Nor fanctes—my imagination is dead. I have laid a foundation of knowledge, And upon this I erect the house of my life. With the mortar of experience Do I fasten it together. The work goes but slowly, for I am untaught; But the cold, drear winds of reason May howl around it and tear with their clutching hands As they will, for I am building securely. —L. M.

A scholar he could have been, but wasn’t, which gave him plenty of time to be a musical man, a sheik with the ladies, and a fullback on the Big Red Team—Quite a combination! EDMUND BERKELEY “Acorn” Representative, 26-27 Edmund is one of our new Seniors, but with his pleasing personality he has won a place in the hearts of everyone with whom he has come in contact.

JOHN BLADON This John has been with us only one year (he hails from Cincinnati). We have had ample opportunity to learn of his ability.

Of a certain, our school career is like a mystic maze through which we grope aimlessly. But when we are old we shall look back for a treasured glance on this winding maze and be able to see in it a well-planned path which leads us onward to the top of a hill called “Success.” We have been blessed in the many phases of work presented to the student body by a beneficent community. Who could wish for a finer structure in which to attend school or what better courses of study could be presented than what our own Jefferson High presents? The faculty, above all other influences, stands as the most decisive factor in our training. We know that with some of the best teachers in the country to guide us, our edifice shall not fall. The Senior Class feels that it can never repay the faculty for its untiring devotion in leading us onward and upward. We have enjoyed in our high school days many golden experiences, organizing the class after entering the new school building, buying the baby grand piano and our important feeling when it was established on the stage in the auditorium are but slight examples. But we must go on and, since we must, we wish to express our appreciation for the splendid training and good times we have enjoyed. We expect to use all these experiences as stepping stones to success. Success, like More’s “Utopia,” may seem to be “nowhere,” but, if we strive to climb and grasp the ideal, we shall rise to the heights of the impossible and signal back a message to Jefferson High School—‘ We still love you!” ELiIzABETH DeELonc, ’27 Class Secretary 04 % Che Acorn Who's Who MM, O2Sel P OUPsUs Aa: LAWSON CARTER leva bole CrAsh SEEeNeIeO RSs DELONG LIONBERGER Bel GaGgkaoe BELLU hehe JONES ALTIZER MOST CAPABLE KING KLIENFELD 65 3 Che Acorn BEST LOOKING OWEN STANLEY MOST TALENTED FALLS MOORE MOST AWT Heleb arate DAY LEMON N: OSB ROAST NS BUT — % Che Acorn te MOST AGl ol ReACCsIaI VE RICHARDSON PENDLETON Swale He) hoot. HEGE HURT Welt a lale hoo ol NELMS HERBERT BIGGEST CASES HURT JOHNSON vs. VS. MURRAY EASON 67 @ Che Acorn SO SEATS Taba was reading the other day about old Rip and his twenty years’ vacation. What a lucky break he made when he partook of that sleeping fluid, thus putting away twenty years of solid sleep whereas he might have been working. If one possessed a little of that substance nowadays, he could give his cares and woes a happy farewell and wish school many returns of the day. With these thoughts running through my mind, of a sudden a feeling of drowsiness passed over me, everything became blurred, then blank— I found myself thrust suddenly upon the boardwalk of Atlantic City just ten years later. The whirring of the planes overhead aroused in me such a sensation of dizziness that I slipped blindly forward, uncertain of my whereabouts. The first impulse which came to me was to locate someone whom I knew, as all the faces seemed strange and unfamiliar. With this interest, I was in. the act of crossing the street, when I ran headlong into a big, robust cop. Looking up, I saw him to be none other than Fatz Altizer, a former spectacle around old Hi and as big a bluff as ever. He informed me that he had at last reached his long sought ideal of boyhood days, and invited me to accompany him to the courthouse, where he said I would see several old-time acquaintances. It being quite a consolation to know that, for once, I was to accompany an officer of the law of my own accord, I accepted his invitation. Arriving at the city courthouse, we wandered to the courtroom, where who should I see but Judge J. Carter, holding his audience spellbound with his magnanimous decisions and swoops of the gavel, as he used to do of yore. He was, at this time, presiding over a law suit, Dan Richards, a prominent pawn- broker, having sued Mary Dan Frantz, movie queen, for breach of promise. Shields Johnson was the defendant’s attorney, and Doug Shackleford the attorney for the plaintiff. Frances Snyder, “cub” reporter, was busily engaged in jotting down each emotional trait which was portrayed by the plaintiff and defendant, attorneys and jurors. _Glancing over toward the tear-stricken jury, I saw Tom Fox, who seemed to be leader of.that harmonious chorus; he was weeping bitterly. Among a few of the less interested jurors, who, at frequent intervals, gave individual interpretations of a buzzing sawmill were John Bladen, Sydney Dull, Greenwood Edwards, Sam White, Herman Wright, Jack Clark, Douglas Stone and Leslie Calder. This atmosphere of solemnity soon had its effect upon me, whereupon | made headway toward the exit. On the way out, however, I ran into Austin Neal and Virginia Day, who wore happy smiles, having just been united-in the 68 3 ——— naa wt Che Acorn + holy bonds of matrimony by John Kleinfield, justice of the peace. Passing by his office, I saw, standing in line waiting for their turn, Carlton Ould, a noted surgeon, and Sue Lawson, who had formerly been head of the Women’s Auxiliary. Lawrence Brown stood at the office door selling insurance to each male victim as he passed out. He informed me that he would be doing very well but for the “Grove Never-Die Pills,” discovered and manufactured by Dr. John Gr ove, which were quite an obstacle to his insurance sales. Upon stepping into the street once again, | was confronted by Rose King, now head of the Salvation Army drive since Elizabeth Antrim, her contemporary, had been married. Rose was supported by Ed Bell, who gave the big bass drum a fit, Alton Hampton and Nancy Nelms, who sung those enchanting melodies of old, and Charles Howard, who was taking in the coin. While trying to evade this group, as I was financially embarrassed, I heard a hefty voice shouting, “Thoity-Thoid Street, East Side.” Looking up, I saw Buck Pendleton pushing da clutch for the Rapid Transit Bus Line, who kindly consented to take me to the casino free of charge. In front of the casino, a beauty contest was being staged; Buck complained of engine trouble, so he parked in full view of the procession. Suddenly, I heard loud whoops coming from the judges’ box on the opposite side, where sat Gardner Mundy, Derwood Stanley and Billy Morgan, each possessing high-powered telescopes. Needless to say, Martin Burkes, proprietor of the casino, Gillie Laughorn, house detective, and Govan Hill, now a reformer, were present meérely to see that the public order was not disturbed. Meantime, soothing music (?) was rendered by the “Midnight Howlers,” for whom Roy Melcher was pianist and Tom Moore, banjoist. Hiram Herbert, Will Rogers of the day, was tossing hot dogs and pulling wise cracks as each one sold. Harriet Critz, his colleague, attracted all by her feminine art of chewing gum and the melodious voice with which she advertised the “hot dorgs.”’ Seeing so many familiar faces, however, has caused somewhat of a divergence from the beauty pageant, which was now passing the judges’ box, but I must mention that Basil Hatcher received a black eye from his wife, Vivian Barry, for becoming over-excited. ; Here they come! But who’s the leader? “Tis Hazel Owen, the Virginia beauty, in her snow-white bathing suit well contrasting with her coal black hair and dark, sparkling eyes. She is closely followed by Charlotte Richardson, the attractive representative of Florida, attired in a bathing suit of a conservative red. Among other former well known beauties of Hi, who were at that moment successfully retaining their reputation, were Verdie Bitterman, Gladys Dillon, 4 69 1 wt Che Acorn +s Rosalind Delamater, Chunk Peters, Elizabeth Trout, Virginia Jett and last, but not least, Georgie Mae Rainey. The decision was rendered amid howling protests and flying Coca-Cola bottles, while Marvin Lemon, manager of a Coca-Cola plant, was busily engaged in picking up the bottles. At this stage of the performance John Hurt, Dean of Roanoke College, Elizabeth DeLong, Dean of Hollins, and Thestle Stanley, Musical Director of Converse, arose from their seats, announcing that the crowd was becoming a bit agitated, whereupon they withdrew and embarked with Frank Reynolds, Ford’s most outstanding rival in the manufacturing of airplanes, in his little seaplane. The whir of the propellers again caused that sensation of dizziness within me, all around me became blurred, then blank— I found myself sitting quietly by the fire, the book of Rip Van Winkle slipping from my hands. Having dreamed of all these prophecies to take place ten years later, I was determined to stick around and see how many were to be actually fulfilled. —Bopssy GARRETT, 727 Class Prophet 70 +} Ssv10 YOINN?

Each one of us must produce a work—the work of life. Have we considered this Great Decision ? We must mould and form a reproduction of our lives. Will our sculpture 2 be a masterpiece or a hideous, deformed, misshapen thing : Will we portray beauty? Will our work be an inspiration to others? Our finished task will only be as beautiful and enduring as our foundation is strong and firm. We, as Seniors, have had the opportunity to make it so. We have had the chisel of an enlightened sculptor with which to carve our work. We have now a threshold to cross, which leads to two separate paths. Which shall we choose—the path leading to fame and vain glory or the one leading to lasting beauty? To which shall we dedicate our monuments ? We have had as an inspiration to us the guidance of those who have crossed that threshold. Let us, the Senior Class of nineteen hundred and twenty-seven, resolve to be hewers of real worth. Let us resolve to chisel definitely the feature of our monument. Let us resolve to leave a clear-cut record in all we undertake.

The Class of ’27 has the very great honor and distinction of being the first class to have completed the three-year course offered by the new Jefferson High School. In the fall of ’24 we entered the majestic portals of that beautiful new building. Due. to influence caused by such surroundings, we had high ideals and aspirations in regard to the three years ahead of us. But, immediately, our hopes and aspirations were shattered to a great extent when “our superiors” stamped us with that traditional sign of “Rats.” Not only were we called Rats, but had a real Rat Day all to ourselves—boys running around frantically as if urged on by some instinctive force from behind (which was actually the case). Naturally, the first thing we were interested in was the organization of our class. When that day finally arrived we had regained most of our former prestige and were now eager to work together for the best advantage of our class. Will we ever forget the election of our midget president, Lawrence Brown? But Lawrence was small only in stature because he turned out to be a “whale” of a leader, guiding us through a most successful year. One thing which stands out especially was the presentation of a beautiful piano to the school. Our Junior year was equally as pleasant as our Freshman semester had been. Having as our leader Kenneth Pedigo, we began to carefully pave the way to the last great lap of our high school career! Then began the greatest of all—the Senior year! It was up to us to display our feelings and thoughts, which we had had from the very beginning, in the form of action. It was a wonderful time! But it was a big place to fill because, being Seniors, we were naturally the models for our under classmates. Remember when “Bud” Carter gave up the leadership of the Big Brothers to accept the presidency of the class by a unanimous decision of the Seniors? We were given the auditorium all by ourselves for roll call. How thrilling it was that we, “the superiors,” were set off from the rest of the surging mob of students and were able to carry on our affairs undisturbed. We successfully continued the idea of weekly programs (which was started by our predecessors of last year), giving various musical entertainments, plays and Shakespearean scenes. Also we have the credit of being the first class to have real Senior privileges signed by the principal. Among the many distinguishing ideas was the wearing of tortoise shell spectacles (minus the glass). e749 wt Che Acorn +s But now we have come to the last part of our high school course, and we look back over the years which we have spent so happily together. And it is with sad hearts that we think of bidding adieu to our dear old Alma Mater. Aside from the knowledge which we have gained in our numerous classes, we have also started in life’s largest university—the College of Experience. May Heaven's best blessings be with each member of the Class of °27 as he or she goes out into the world of Higher Learning—which, in turn, means Life! —Mary Lewis MayvuHew, ’27 Class Historian ut SHIPS THAT SAIL We stand upon the threshold of to-morrow, Upon the brink of fathomless oblivion. In the flaming Dawn we sail the sea of Sorrow, Upon a rough, sky-canopied pavilion. Beneath—and close to shore are curling whitecaps, That strike the rocks and, foaming, sift away. They are—in their ways, as we, perhaps, As in our dash at Life we often stray. And when the sun is blazing off to Eastward, Hurling its glittering rays upon the Earth; After which, he sails o’erhead to Westward, And leaves us dreaming, planning—void of mirth. We tell no one of ALL our trials and failures, Nor even of success until ’tis made. But when we climb the Mountain of Detailures— We rest upon our laurels ’neath myrtle shade. These scans of earthly toil have done us well, And now we sail upon a troubled sea. Salty waves are washing o'er the aft shell, And leave the decks all wet and slippery! Tis then that from the cabin one might prowl, And fall and slide into a briney grave. But, as the waters close, the heavens scowl, “There goes a life that he himself could save!” EAS: And when another day has passed us by Our ship rests quietly on a rippling bay.

These boys are graduating this time, and next fall there will be no original members left in the Club. The past year has been an eventful one for the Club. They have boosted athletic games, taken part in civic activities and helped in other High School activities. Last fall the Big Brothers helped to put across the Lynchburg-Roanoke football game with a bang. They ordered megaphones and sold them, assisted in advertising the game and selling tickets.

Afterward, some distinguished man brings a message to the boys. Classes of Bible study are held in the late evening, which are unusually beneficial because every youth is free to express the utterances of his heart.

Mr. Fallwell, as faculty advisor, has more than contributed a large share of success to the Society by his capable directing and leadership. The officers are: FALL SESSION SPRING SESSION JoHN W.

From time to time programs are given to show the development of group singing and Glee Club work. Do you remember the excellent program given by the broadcasting station of Jefferson High School Music Department ? The instruction helps students take part in musical plays and musical comedies and they usually have the advantage of others not instructed in the work. It is the aim of the club also to have recreational singing of the whole student body at various times, which stimulates a larger membership. Under classmen are especially invited to take advantage of this instruction. The Club has a worthy constitution and by-laws. Much has been accomplished under the diligent and able teaching of Miss Blanche Hurley. Note reading, writing, study of great masters and group singing has been the past program.

At present it has an enrollment of about fifty members. It believes that perseverance works wonders and, to be alive, it must be active. The Club meets every two weeks for literary programs. The study of the literature, art, music, history and sport life of Spain offers interesting and instructive material for literary programs. This year the Club had a girls’ and boys’ basket ball team and has taken an enthusiastic part in the athletics at Hi. = 90 ut Che Acorn f FOOTBALL TEAM FOOTBALL, °26 The football season of ’26 was another big success for Roanoke Hi. We started the season by losing to Greenbrier at Lewisburg, West Virginia. The following week we beat R. M. A. We then played Salem, Danville and V. M. I. Freshmen, winning from Salem and Danville, but lost to V. M. I. on Armistice Day. We journeyed out to Huntington, West Virginia, and played that high school, that game also ended with Roanoke on the short end of the score. However, these defeats did not have any bearing on the State Championship because these teams were not in the League. By defeating Lynchburg, Roanoke won the Championship of the West and the right to play the Champions of the East for the State Championship. The Championship game was played in Portsmouth late in December. The spirit of Christmas was everywhere, but old Santa seemed to be all for Portsmouth and so they won. This was the first time that they have won the title. Of the seventeen letter men, Captain-Elect Lemon and seven others will return next year. —Soup @ 91 % Che Acorn g Ts ee Sais Wate BOYS’ BASKET BALL BASKET BALL Opening the season with a well-earned victory over Danville, the “Magic City Quint” succeeded in annexing eight of the fourteen games on their schedule by substantial scores which showed the strength of the team during the season. Due to the superior ability of Coach “Hunk” Hurt, Jefferson Hi pulled through with a successful season, dropping two of their five defeats to the strong Viscose Quint. With only two letter men back, Hurt and Settle, Jefferson Hi entered the Washington and Lee Basket Ball Tournament. Though they did not- come through on top, they are to be congratulated on their fine showing. The following men composed the squad: Hurt (Captain), Whately, Settle, M. Lemon, G. Lemon, Urick, Levin, Evans, Aliff (Manager). During the season Jefferson Hi amassed a total of 363 points to their opponents’ 344 points. $ 929 wut Che Acorn f IN CN EGG G UL Vatelitraten eee opie Sara os aia e gate eects Si eieiovais eecionaievehscatodstllic oa) eusustatsiaiaus clearence Nusailayir ss Captam DORIS aC UININ ING HA Man catiere eset ie Manager IMISSS VAT Hittosts.. or ara. cranes a weieine eis Coach Forwards Centers Guards Day TURNER CASSERLEY BICKFORD AGULY MILEs SAKER BowLes BECKER GOGGIN HARING In accordance with the policy of the Girls’ Athletic Association, the Jefferson High School girls did not enter the League for the State Championship this year. Instead, an inter-class tournament was held between the classes, each team playing each other team twice. The Sophomores came out ahead, winning three of the four games they played. The best players were then chosen from the class teams to compose a varsity team to play two outside games. This team tied Waynesboro 25-25, and defeated Lynchburg 15-11. The season was counted successful and most enjoyable.

After the preliminary loosening-up period the men settled down to hard work. Handicapped through lack of equipment for the field events and a schedule of only two meets, the record made to date hardly does justice to the true ability of the team. At the time of going to press, Jefferson High School has acquitted itself very well against the strong V. P. I. yearlings although this meet was lost. What the boys will do against high school teams of their own calibre at the University of Virginia Championships yet remains to be seen. But with such point scorers as Captain Lemon, Draper, Price, Overstreet, Fox, Boyer, Duke, Huff, Altizer and West, it is expectantly hoped that the season will yet end in a blaze of glory. 95 18 OS wt Che Acorn +e BASEBALL TEAM BASEBALL With a fairly good nucleus left from last year, Coach Hurt began his operations toward developing a baseball team. The loss of Humphries from short stop caused some concern until “Buck” Pendleton was found to be quite adept at that position. McDevitt at first and Davis at second look like a pair of veterans. While Pete Oakley, a rookie, looks like the goods behind the plate. Willard Oakley and Pink Crockett hold up the pitching end very well. In the outfield there is a good deal of competition with only Lemon sure of a position. R. M. A. was the first opponent of the season and they let J. H. S. down to a 4-1 defeat. But Rocky Mount was then defeated 7-3. A very successful season is looked forward to from this team. $96 PRU SIND AS HA Re RVG ip ee?
