Its soft lacy ruffies and dainty satin ribbons tied gently in the little love knots rested luxuriously in its soft depths. Now it watched intently its mistress as she dashed madly from one object to the other in the handsomely furnished room. The tall, slender girl was happy as she gaily prepared for her morning canter. The dainty little object on the bed spent a peaceful morning with its jolly company, a friendly Pekingese. Toward noon there was the sound of a soft thud of running feet and the girl dashed into the room, her beautiful face wreathed in smiles, Hello, you dears on the bed, she called. After an extended toilet, aided by an efficient French maid, the insouciant girl again stood in the middle of the room surveying herself in the long mirrors. After adjusting a strand of hair, she left the room ready for the luncheon at a quaint little tea room to be followed by a trip on the placid lake in a keen motor boat. Around 5:30 she burst madly into the room and flung herself, face downward, on the chaise lounge. This time she had no gay little smile or cheery word for the creatures on the bed. She sobbed bitterly for about twenty minutes, then raising herself on her left elbow she muttered something to herself, her blue eyes flashing. For a few seconds she put up a brave fight, then gave way to torrents of tears. Sadness reigned supreme in this small kingdom till she, the mistress, again put aside her grief and jumped up, heeding her maid's warning, ready to dress for dinner. She lifted her proud head, dabbled at her eyes, put her nose a little higher in the air and murmured, The brute, I'll show himf, Again she descended the stairs and there was a strange silence in the room. The small creatures still on the bed wore grief-stricken looks. The silence was so oppressive they soon fell asleep. About 9:30 the girl went into her room again to dress for the dance at the Country Club. This time she moved with a quiet dignity but there was a de- termined look, a look of battle on her face. Thus so quiet that she didn't disturb the peaceful sleep of the dog or his companion. After midnight-a ripple of silvery laughter and they were being hugged by a pair of happy arms. Oh, darlings, I made him furious just as he made me angry this morning- Ca pausej but we have made up now, oooh, and I'm so gladf' Thus are the many moods of a young girl seen by dainty dream-pillows, fluffy with lace ruffles and tiny bows. The pillow is wept upon-smiled upon, sharing alike the bitter sorrows and delightful joys of their lovely young mistress. -LILLIAN HOGAN V K 58 D 151 fllihe Qlzurn ig: SEA CHANGE AILLYN-A Cornish fisherman DAUNBRI1A sea maiden BRANGWANAINE-A Cornish girl CHARACTERS: CThc scene is laid on the Cornish coast. There is a stretch of sandy beach, a background of high dark rocks, coming close down to the ocean's edge, represented by the footlights, a cloudy, gray sky and over all, a strange green light. The sound of the dashing waves can be heard in a low undertone throughout the scene.j CThe curtain Ends Aillyn, in dark-green conventional clothing of a fisherman, barefooted, seated on the ground, behind him a rock. Beside him is a large nct to be mendedj CThere is a silence of a few seconds, during which time Aillyn seems busy, then he drops his workzj AILLXINZ 'Tis strange that I should be so sad of heart, And yet it is not strange-for she is fair- And beauty makes one sad. fPause, while he dreams! And tho' she says She docs not love me now, I know 'tis false. Ah! Brangwanaine, you shall love me, I swear! CThe green light seems to change and almost without realizing it, the audience is suddenly aware that the sea maiden has been standing behind Aillyn. She is beautiful-slender and lithe, her movements like those of the sea-quick and graceful. She, too, is dressed in green and her hair, long and light, is over-cast with the green light.D Aillyn turns, and seeing the maiden, rises and goes quickly toward her. AILLYN: I do not know you, fairest one, but you are Daunbri, maiden of the sea. DAUNBRI CSuddenly kneeling beside him, as he sits on a rockj: Oh! man, From my bright home within the sea, I saw You wcepg you are too beautiful to love A mortal maiden-however fair she is. Am I not fairer still? Love me! I'll give You kisses bitter as tl1e sea-but sweet Withalg I'll hold you close-and let you weep Until you have forgotten her and your Meek love of her. And then you'll laugh and smile And you'll be mine! I'll give you love that's wild And passionate. Man-lover, come with me. AILLYN fCatehes her in his arms, kisses her lips, still wet with the seal: Ah! sec, I have forgotten her-look, now My tears are dried. I'm through with mortal love! I'll go with you and I shall always be Your own-and you will give me happiness. i DAUNBR1 QHolding his head against her breast-her strange green eyes looking toward the seal: Ah! yes, I'll give you happiness and love You'll not forget, tho' you should live for aye! fDuring next speech, Brangwanaine slips in-she does not see Daunbri, who, to her, is invisible. She hears only Aillyn. She is slender andtall-with black hair and large, passionate, dark eyes.j 5 C595 'ei Ghz Qlcntn Ly AILLYN: But always there will be a sadness in My heart-for love to me is sad and full Of pain. For I am filled with a desire That cannot be appeased-my longing is Too great for even you to bear-and live. And even when I feel the stars are mine- And must he mine I-I'll have it so-there comes a Desire not to be filled except I have The sun-it is so red and beautiful, And thcn my ecstasy is burned to ash And so, I cannot help but weep-I am So weak! fDaunbri is gone-her place is taken by Brangwanaine, who now holds his head against her heart and caresses his hair.j BRANGWANAINE CTO hersclfj: Can he be mad from love of me? Wliy' does he talk so wildly? Can he Not see I love him? AILLYN: So I have turned to you. tHe turns to her, forgets Daunbri at sight of her-but without surprise at the change.j I love you, Brangwanaine, BRANGWANAINE: And I love you. He kisses her lips. She does not resist him, but, with 9. tender smile, holds him closerj AILLYN CSuddenly remembering Daunhri, he risesj: So this is but the love you promised me, Oh! Dauuhri, maiden of the sea. BRANGWVANAINE CUncomprehending, rises, too, and catches both his handsj: Yes, Love, This is the love I promised you. Take it- Oh! let me make you glad to live and love! CAS the curtain falls, Aillyn looks at her with a strange smile on his lips. He draws her to him- she seems to resist, then yields-happily.J -ALICE HORSLEY, '28 'Bi MOUNTAIN EVENING IN MAY Darla pivzer, .4 role-gold :ky .find from green 711,015 J butterfly Blaflf- lffillz .rlzim-rm'riug.r of purplz. -R urn STOKE, '28 C 60 D Ghz Slnurn Class Mirror MOST POPULAR L.

Characters: Stellar lights in Class of '28 Cand myselfj. AY Vision! The marvel of the Modern lVorld, were the head-lines in the newspaper. Invented by a hitherto unknown literary and scientihc scholar, George Smithf' I gasped and then, because I remembered George Smith as having been one of the High School graduates in '28, I became very interested in Ray Vision. That afternoon I received a huge package containing-quite so, go to the head of the class! George had sent every member of the Class of '28 a Ray Vision Niachine. It was a cross between a Radio and a Television. You simply twisted the dial to a certain station and you saw the person who lived there. It was very simple. For example, you looked up the name Hayward and you found the number was 1283. You then turned the dial to each of these different numbers and, behold! in the mirror-like sheet before the machine was Nliss Hayward, teaching Hamlet to your children. I had received my Ray Vision hiachine before any of the other class members as George had run out of postage stamps after fixing my parcel for the mail. I decided to revisit my classmates while they, unconscious of being watched, went about their tasks. First, I gingerly turned the dial to 7II, James Gibboney's number. There he was. Oh! he hadn't changed a bit! There was the same old friendly smile- but what was he doing? Hold your breath-he was writing original insurance policies, for he was the president of the Lafhard Life Insurance Company and was a go-getter. I wanted to stay and watch him, but there were others I wanted to see, too. I turned the dial to 191 and Liz Bradley came into view. She was still her small, sweet self but, oh look, she was dressed in pink gingham, carrying a milk pail in her hand, she was just setting out to inspect the cow. Her adoring husband sat in the doorway watching her. KNO, I won't tell who he was but he was rather tall.j Again the dial turned, this time to bring Bunch,' Nininger into view, reigning over the most fashionable milliners shop in America. Ladies came into the shop with a frown and the wrong kind of complexion for their hats, but after a few minutes under Bunch's guiding iniiuence and the deposit of one dollar fthe rest to be paid in daily installmentsj, they came out with smiles, hats and complexions blending beautifully. C 54 D gi Ghz Hearn Lv I held my breath and turned the dial to see our hero, Minor Stewart, the best- looking boy in the Class of '28. He was still holding down that reputation, but what else was he doing? He was doing what so many handsome young men finally do-expert accountant work for a large business firm. There was a smile on his face, so I guess he enjoyed his work. Then I saw Mildred Urquhart-President of the National Farmers Bank. She was hastening from a Directors' Meeting to another entangling problem. At New York, I found Bob Watts. He had invented a new kind of fortune- telling machine and was now a most prominent figure on Wall Street, where he rushed around looking up figures on radium mines. I saw Marguerite Herbert, Dean of Vassar and Physical Educator. You can't imagine a busier person. Just then she was planning an outing for her athletic association and was on her way to the bakery to buy rolls. I followed her with the Ray Vision and, lol George Gish was the baker. The shock was almost too much, so I turned the dial. An airplane hovered over a held in Texas. It glided down in perfect form to the back door of a small cottage and out climbed Dean Jennings. She went into the house after examining the flower beds. I found Hank Trimmer living several miles away in a small shack on the lonely prairie. He had come here for a rest from the presidency of a dozen or so diderent organizations. He was writing when I saw him-writing a book of poems called Cathedral Laughterf' I turned the dial and Beverly Becker came into view. She was instructing some girls in baseball and I learned, after watching her for a few minutes, that she had charge of the best camp for girls in the United States. I remembered her athletic work done in Jefferson High and knew it was true. Edna Wallace was head of the Language Department at Columbia University. During each summer she organized a group of the best students and took them to Rome. She was said to be the best teacher at the University. At Chicago, I saw two people. First, George Trimmer-a detective. He had his hands thrust deeply in his pockets and was beginning confidently, Well, it's like this- I hastily turned the dial, who was it? Sloppy Henson, matron in Chicago's largest orphan asylum. Sloppy', was most popular with the children for she believed in lots of jam and airplane rides. I saw Lillian Hogan, the society leader, in Illinois. Yes, she was married and you can't guess to whom! Oh, no, you don,t know either. Lillian, at the time, was leader of the Philanthropic Movement for Sufferers from Cyclone. In the same city, Dorothy lVIorgan and Frances Butler had the main oflice for their famous chain grocery stores. In Richmond, Virginia, Herman LeGrande was a florist. I should have liked to have seen his wonderful wife he spoke of. While I was looking at his shop a gentleman entered and asked for two dozen roses for his wife. I was amazed, C659 'si Qlibe Qlcnrn ig but I found that his wife was Glenna Niarting no wonder he frequented the florist shop. In Seattle, I saw Elgin Nininger, now a judge and the best-liked one in the state. In the same city was jim VVood, owner of a furniture store. Jim was also the inventor of several exercises called Twice Daily Half-Dozen. The most im- portant of which was the one in which you breathed evenly five minutes through the nose every morning before dressing. I turned the dial back to see whether any of my friends were still in Roanoke. Yes, there was Agnes Aguly bending over a man who had just sprained his ankle. 'LI am a doctor, she told him and bent closer to listen to his ankle. I learned that she was the first woman doctor that ever practiced in Roanoke. Alice Horsley was head of the English Department in Jefferson High's sister school, Wilson High. This school had been built about ten years after the Class of '28 had scattered to the various sections of the earth. Alice was faculty advisor of everything in the school that needed advising. i On the Rorer Avenue bus, Franklin Settle presided as bus driver. Frank had organized a glee club among the bus drivers and was president of it. His wife was-hold everything-Louise Firey. Ed Evans was not dead but was a guide in the north woods and an authority on trout fishing. At Nashville, Tennessee, I saw the greatest theatre in the South, owned by Sarah Poole and managed by William IVIcNulty. There was a constant stream of people going in and out of the theatre. Among the crowd, I recognized Thompson Ambler, mayor of the city. He was given no preference in the surging crowd, but was pushed aside by Robert Bondurant, turnkey ofthe city jail. It seemed to be a gala day. Elsie Britts, Eugenia Bush, Odell Blankenship and Charlotte Coon, who were always having their pictures in the Sunday Times as the four social beauties of the city, were there. So were Virginia Drew, Niildred Hancock and Virginia Hooge, who had motored in from WVashington where they were in charge of various phases of Y. W. C. A. work. Lucille Wliite was explaining to Hattie Beck and Racella Sayers why children should not be chastised. Suddenly, I observed a familiar figure pushing back the crowd from the ticket booth and sternly ordering, Take yer turn, take yer turn, it was Kyle Nlontague, a police- man. At last I was able to see in the theatre. Tom YVhately was head usher. I saw two more familiar faces in the audience: Elizabeth Brittain, just returned from diplomatic service in South America, and William Plyrnale, Chairman of the Nashville School Board. The show was the best I had ever seen, with Pitt Davis, Claude Pace and Peyton Tutwiler taking leading parts. There was also a special attraction-Jessie and Nlabel fMcKendrie and hflartha and Clarinda hfiason in L'Sister Aets.', It was a scream, the whole thing was a riot of color and laughter. web ' I wg.

At the beginning of this year we elected our class officers as follows: Richard Edwards, President, Ranny Powell, Vice President, Norris Howell, Secretary, and Dorothy Lewis, Treasurer. We consider this a very capable group and think their selection was very wise. VVhen the Student Participation Nlovement was started we fell heartily in line with the movement and elected as our alloted four representatives the fol- lowing: June Guthridge, John Copenhaver, Edward Hall and Ruth WVillis. These people have done some excellent Work on the Council and we are justly proud of them and what they have done in the name of the class. In summarizing all of the work, We consider this a very successful year and we move on to our Senior year with high hopes of making the Class of ,ZQ a credit to both our school and city. -NORRIS HOWELL 'Bi SOPI-IOIVIORE CLASS VER half of the enrollment of Jefferson High School is vested in the Sophomore Class. And what has the Sophomore Class contributed to High School? W'ith a Rat teacher, lVliss Gaines, as advisor, and these oflicers: Dick Thomas, President, Le Baron Coleman, Vice President: Clayton Mitchell, Secre- tary, and John Noftsinger, Treasurer, we have attained much success. According to THE ACORN staff and subscribers the Sophomore Class is the most high-brow class at High School. And what of our football heroes? The sturdy center of JefTerson's eleven was none other than John Noftsinger. Nlike Driscoll also hails from the Sophs. After careful consideration, Harvey Hall, Ben Smith, and Genevieve Camden were elected to represent us on the Prefect Council. During nominations for the Prefect Council, lVlr. Parsons made the announcement in Assembly that the scholarship average of the Sophomore Class is above both the Junior and Senior Class. And what of the future of this insignificant Rat class? One need not be even optimistic to look forward to a day when the Senior Class of ,3O will be the last and best! -GENEVIEVE CAMDEN H25 qi Elite Qlcurn if PREFECT COUNCIL STUDENT PARTICIPATION IN GOVERNMENT In February, 1928, a group of students, under the leadership of Hank Trimmer, realizing the need of greater responsibility among the students, started a movement for Student Parti- cipation in Government in Jefferson High. This group with a few 'faculty advisors worked out a plan of government which was accepted by the students. Then a Preiect Council in which was vested the legislative, executive and judicial powers of the organization was elected. They are-SENIORS: Hank Trimmer, Senior Prefect, Lois Nininger, Geraldine Jennings, James Gibboney, Agnes Aguly. JUNIGRS: june Guthridge, junior Prefect, john Copenhavcr, Edward Hall, Ruth Willis. SOPHOMORES: Harvey Hall, Ben Smith, Genevieve Camden, Secretary. The Faculty Advisors are: Miss Duncan, Miss Moore, Miss Smithey, Mr. I-Iumbert, Mr. VVomack. A Student Council, consisting of one rep- resentative from each Roll Call, was elected. This Council acts as a medium between the Prefeet Council and the student body. The Council, with the aid of its advisors, drew up the Constitution. They are undertaking only three things this year: Prevention of cheating, order in assemblies and order in the halls. April 22, 1928, Student Participation in Government was installed at Jefferson Senior High. May the inauguration of this system prove to be the beginning of a better citizenship for all who shall attend Jefferson High. -NEXVTON SHIELDS C 73 J BOOSTER CLUB Qi Glibe Qlcnrn Lv BOOSTER CLUB For tive years the Boosters have been Z1 valuable ztssct to the life of the school.

SMITH, '28 H53 BIG BROTHER CLUB vi The Qlcurn Lv BIG BROTHER CLUB Not since the Club was organized, in 1925, has it enjoyed a more successful year than it ex- perienced this year. Although beginning in the fall with only ten members remaining from last years' club, we have, through a slow process of development, reached our capacity which is twenty- five members. VVe organized in the fall of '27 with the following olhcers, which had been elected by the Club of '27, President, Bob Wattsg Vice President, James Gibboneyp Secretary-Treasurer, Hank Trimmer. The following are some of the Club's activities since May, '27. 1. During the vacation months, gold footballs were bought and presented to the team of '26. 2. Aclvocated the election of cheer-leaders. 3. Sponsored several parades before Big Home Games. 4. Sold throughout the student body nearly five hundred megaphones. 5. Sponsored special train to Lynchburg when the football team played there for district title. 6. Sponsored the annual Big Brother Minstrel from which we cleared nearly 38300. 7. Donated 55100 to be used for buying books for the library. 8. We are making our plans now for the annual J Festival which is one of the most out- standing affairs in the school year. We hope, by the above actions, that the Big Brother Club has sufficiently justified its ex- istence in jefferson High School. We also realize that we have not entirely measured up to the standard which the student body has set for us, but we hope that with .your assistance and that of the faculty that the clubs in the future will be able to make High School bigger and better than ever through their untiring efforts.

Its influence among the girls being decidedly greater because this year the Club has been larger than ever before, having a membership of 250 girls. The theme for the year was the Treasure Chest. This was carried out by programs which have been symbolic of different treasures that a girl looks for in life. Programs, enabling the members to realize both serious and joyous phases of life, have been given at the meetings and banquets. In order to raise money, the Club gave a circus in Highland Park. The Building Fund Pledge and Summer Conference Money were taken from the proceeds. For the first time. the Girls' Club was hostess to a spring conference, at which time delegates from the clubs in Western Virginia came together. A great deal of interest was shown and all the girls seemed to derive something worth while from the conference. On May Sd, the Girls' Club had charge of the doorvopening ceremony of the new Y. W. IC, A. The year was brought to a close by the final banquet at the Patrick Henry. VVe wish to thank our advisors who have helped in many ways to make the Club a success.

Our discussions have covered such subjects as: race, relations, war, and religion. VVe have always endeavored to keep jesus at the heart and center of our club activities, and have looked upon Jesus as the greatest leader, teacher and example of any man in history. Our club activities have included a splendid Freshman Assembly, at which time we tried to show them that we were interested in their training at high school. VVe have participated in a number of wholesome and infiuential discussions with the Girls' Club about the problems of life which we face. VVe have held a very successful fathers' night, a happy mothers' night, an enjoyable fac- ulty night, and a never-to-be-forgotten night devoted to our best girls. Besides this. we have had one or two very fine socials. We have entertained separately, the basket ball and baseball teams, manifesting our interest in clean athletics and sports. YVe sponsored at the high school the Roanoke College play Cappy Ricks, which was successful in amusing those present. At various times, We had out-of-town speakers at our assemblies or in the high school. VVe conducted a week-of-prayer, at which voluntary attendance outnumbered our expectations. Finally, in order that the good work of this ycar's Hi-Y Club might be of service, We presented some 25 books, dealing with religion, to the high school. OFFICERS HANK TRIMMER .... ....

Work was begun immediately to obtain the very best representatives to send to the literary contest held annually at the University of Virginia. The society, under the leadership of the new faculty advisor, Mrs. Kinzer, built up remark- ably on the foundation laid so thoroughly by Mrs. Burt, the faculty advisor for so many years. The programs have been excellent and the girls' attendance all that could be expected. At the present time, all our interest is centered. on the University contest. The representatives have been chosen, have met Salem, where we won four out of six of the contests, and are prepar- ing to go to the University. C813 Y.

Around him were great masses of books-voluminous, dust-laden histories of great deeds and small. He looked at the waning sand in the hour-glass as he finished a beautiful book of three chapters. Upon the cover were these words in gold: Class of '28. The Chronologist turned again to Chapter I, under the head of Freshmen, '2.6. He read: Jefferson Hi opened her doors this year with an increasing stream of be- wildered 'Ratsf These newcomers, though ignored, dreamed of the future. They could dimly see themselves as Seniors of '28. After a while, the Class Was organized with Virginia Peters as president, assisted by other able officers. lVIiss Ethel Jett gave much advice to this formative Group. She also helped with the election of Student Representatives to the Council. This Class was I'10t long in seeing where improvements could be made. A donation was made toward stage furniture and the stage was fitted. During this year, the Freshmen became thoroughly adapted to the customs and traditions instituted by those higher up. The aged Penman reached Chapter ll, headed by a more assuming title- Hjuniors, 'z7. Here are some excerpts as he read them: The Juniors, this year, showed great promise of developing into a record- making class. Hardly had the term begun before there was talk of class meetings and election of officers. A meeting was called and the ball began rolling when Bob VVatts was elected President, Frank Settle, Vice President, 'Bunch' Nininger, Treasurer, and Edna Wfallace, Secretary. lVIr. Bartlett proved himself a great help with his timely suggestions. There was much discussion at each meeting with several resultant accomplish- ments: new rings, the first new ones in eight years, were chosen, the class coHers were opened and final installments on the stage furniture paid off, leaving some money to spare. Real magnanimity was shown when julia Herringdon, the nominee for vice president, was taken by death. The class sent flowers and donated a page to her memory in the annual. Little by little, the minds were being molded into a more mature Way of thinking. Long before the year was over, many looked up from their books and thought of next year! The Recorder slowly came to another division-the final chapter. Here the ink was fresh and new. W'ritten in bold type could be seen: Seniors, '28. He scanned the pages: 1897 vgt Ghz Hcnrn ip An assembly-the greatest ever-gathered in the auditorium to open another year. All had returned to find the grounds beautified and several new members added to the faculty. fumbled masses of Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors were finally straightened out. The 'YVhere you belong? was missing, but things became settled, neverthe- less. The Seniors now had the auditorium-that much-coveted roll call. 'Until next spring' was soon the prevailing thought. bliss Hayward, ever helpful, again lent her hand to the Senior Class. As in preceding years, there began rumors of who would be the president. W'ould the Class elect a boy or a girl? YVhen the Class came together, it was soon decided. Jim Cwibboney was chosen to pilot '28 through her last year at Hi. Here the history took an important aspect-A Senior party, assemblies, fine speakers, class meetings! Committees were chosen to discuss plans and to select the motto and colors. They were duly heard from. Kidd's Studio was given the contract for the pictures. Vision of diplomas, caps and gowns were getting realistic. Suggestions arose concerning Commencement exercises. hflr. h IcQuilkin, our Superintendent, expressed his desire to let the Class conduct its own exercises. He met with hearty approval. The final night was approaching! From the beginning of the year, the urge for student government was evident. Outsiders spoke on the subject, students thought, and soon it culminated in one of the greatest assemblies-the installation of the Student Council! Every Senior felt the impressiveness-the importance-of the ceremony. That morning, they were exponential in laying a cornerstone to a monumental structure. The Class play next came into the limelight. All were wondering what it would be like. Rumors went their rounds, but the committee finally chose 'The Goose Hangs High. ' The play afforded an opportunity to develop much dramatic talent. Wlien the time came nearer, and the last month was growing short, many decided that leaving 'Ole Hi' was not so pleasant after all. Every member of the Class of '28 had come to love our Alma Nlater. They were, after all, reluctant to leave, realizing that some of the best acquisitions of the three years were cherished memories of the faculty and schoolf' The sand had now dwindled away. The record of the Class of ,28 was made. The Ancient Chronologist was loath to pass such a fine book. He looked again at the cover-and smiled! -WILLIAM PLYMALE, '23 C903 gi Etbe Qicnrn Lv ATHILETHCS CAPTAINS, '27-'28 Football ..... .... ......., R 0 BERT IBOBI ABBOTT Bafleet Ba!! .... ....

This was perhaps the most thrilling game of the season and ended in a 6-6 deadlock, the Magicians having tied the score in the final two minutes of play. Danville succeeded in winning from jefferson for the Grst time in 'about ten years. Their only score was made on the opening kick-off when a Danville back returned the ball ninety yards for a touchdown. Lynchburg defeated the Maroons in a hard-fought game in which the two teams were evenly matched. Roanoke was thc victim of Old Man Hard Luck on this day, and got some terrible breaks. The Magicians, in their final game, did something that no team had done for two yearsg namely, to cross the goal line of llV0Ofll'OW Wilson, of Portsmouth. They were defeated, however, 26-7. At the close of the season, Fred Uriek was elected captain for 1928. Fred has played star football for two years and af ter one more year should develop into the greatest taekle ever turned out at jefferson High.

Opponents 'si BASKET BALL The 1928 basket ball season WSIS the most successful one jefferson High has enjoyed in several years. Coach Hurt developed a machine that swept. aside every obstacle in its march for the State Championship only to be defeated in the hnals by Vifoodrow Wilson. This was the only defeat the Magicians suffered, except two at the hands of the strong Viseose Independents and one by the V. P. l. Freshmen. Houston Young, the tall center, who played his first year on the quintet was elected to lead the team for the 1929 season. will have as team-mates, among this year's letter men, WVard. Turner, Rice and Urick. VVe. who make our departure this year, will look back next year and expect to see the 1020 Magicians crowned State Champions. i925 vi Gtbe Qlcurn Lv FOOTBALL SQUAD BASKET BALL TEAM Y- GIID2 Qicurn Lv BASEBALL SQUAD BASEBALL The Baseball season is just getting under way as THE ACORN goes to press. The Maroon and Wliitc sluggers have met the W. it L. and V. M. I. Freshmen and lost out by close scores in each instance. Ellis, the heavy-hitting shortstop, slammed out a home run in the game with the University rats. The Magicians met and defeated R. M. A. at Maher Field, 4-2. Ellis was the feature of this game also, his timely hit in the eighth inning winning the game. Danville nosed out a 7-6 Victory over the Maroons in the twelfth inning of the game, which was played at Danville. Raymond Rice, Magician third-sacker, slammed out a home run in the ninth to tie the score after his team had been trailing 6-5 The remainder of the team seems to be made up of Turner, Carpenter, Crockett, Overstreet, Ellis, D. Barnett., E. Barnett, Luck, Captain Oakley, Carner and Hash. -PITT DAVIS C943 vga the Qlcnrn Lv l , ea TRACK SQUAD TRACK The opening of the Track season found several of last year's stars lost by graduation. Rene Draper, Captain-elect of this year's team, failed to return to school and this left another hard place to fill. Bob Overstreet was selected to lead the team in place of Draper, and as THE ACORN goes to press, the Magicians have entered only one meet although they have several more scheduled. This meet with W. 8: L. Freshmen was easily won by the rats but the Maroon and White track and field men expect to make another story when they meet teams in their class. Besides Overstreet, some of the promising men are Duke, Nininger, Settle, Berry, Boswell, Pace, Ferris, Godby, Mosby and Kerns. -P1T'r IDAVIS f95l 'fi The Qlcurn 1-5 GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATIO The G.
