Lovingston Elementary School THE CYCLE 1936 PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS LOVINGSTON HIGH SCHOOL LOVINGSTON, VA. We, The Senior Class of 1936 , Dedicate This Volume to G. HERBERT DELK Our Principal. University of Richmond University of Virginia orewor- The Cycle contains for the most part merely a record of the morning exercise” period of five or ten minutes a day in the home room” of the Senior Class. As you glance through this book you will see that the Seniors of 193 6 were engaged in various kinds of activities: discussing characteristics necessary for building a perfect character, telling favorite jokes, naming favorite books and heroes, writing descriptions of each other, writing spring poems, voting for superlatives,, formulating creeds, and last, but by no means least, discussing ways and means for the publication of this book. The members of the class wish to express their thanks and appreciation for the sup¬ port given the financial side of their undertaking by the students and faculty and by the many business men whose advertisements have been a substantial aid in the publi¬ cation of The Cycle. Especially do they wish to thank Mr. Delk and Mrs. Whitehead for the help given them in securing advertisements in Lynchburg, Lovingston, and Charlottesville. F. D.

University of Virginia REBA FITZPATRICK LEA Hollins College Columbia University University of Virginia Appreciation Of the whole of the Senior Class of 193 6, I think I have the highest honor of them all. For my character sketch is of our home room teacher, Mrs. Lea. Miss Reba is rather small. She is about five feet three and one-half inches tall and weighs about 130 pounds. Her hair is dark brown and her eyes are brown. She is a good sport, grand teacher, and loved by every pupil in school. The whole Senior Class has treated her like she is a pupil, too. She shares our joys, our sorrows, our victory, our defeat, and she struggles through the hard spots with us as we work on for our last great moment. We have many jokes on her. But I won’t begin to tell them all. She wears her glasses far down on her nose and peeps at you over them. In one of our math, classes about three years ago, Miss Reba came rushing in, up in the air, because she could not find her glasses. Every one in class looked at her sort of funny and laughed. She hurried out to look in all of the rooms she had taught in, thinking maybe they were there. She came back and still no glasses. One member of the class said through fits of laughter, Mrs. Lea, you have your glasses on.” Sure enough, there were her glasses pushed up on her forehead. We all love her and to some she is Mrs. Lea. To others, Miss Reba. But to me she will always be Aunt Reba, one of the best teachers I’ve ever been to. Tompkins Strother. fiL§§ ropnecy The Seniors of 1936 decided to visit a nearby gypsy camp. Upon arriving we were surrounded by a group of smiling gypsies. We were immediately shown to the magic tent of Zuleka, the gypsy queen. She asked, Have you the silver to cross my palm with?” Everyone shouted, Yes, yes.” Gazing at the palm of the nearest who happened to be Elizabeth Yuille, Zuleka began: Ah! I see a large hospital. I see you as head nurse in this hospital. But no—only for a few years. Then you will marry an orchestra leader. You will be very happy.” Now,” turning to Katherine Horsley, you will study law though you will never practice to any great extent. You will fall desperately in love with a dark-haired man. Three times you will be divorced but your fourth marriage will be very happy.” Ah! Who is this smiling girl?” she exclaimed, turning to Ellen Johnson. You will be the sole owner of a large hot-dog stand. Your business will prosper.” Then turning to Juliet Redd, Harriet Spencer and Tompkins Strother who stood arm in arm, she gasped, You will all three marry shortly after school closes—if not before.” I see a Chop Suey joint in Chinatown. Within I see a fat Chinaman. As his better half” I see a girl named Lois Puckett.” I see a large crowd of girls huddling around some one. Let me look closer—I see Charlie Powell as the center of attraction.” After carefully observing the palms of Frances Ponton, Louise Miller and Mabel Stevens, Zuleka concluded that they would all be happy old maids. Now I see a water mill,” the gypsy queen continued. Within I see someone grinding corn—Ah! ’Tis Raymond Harlow.” I see Mary Ellyne Kidd as one of America’s great poets in the future.” I see R. T. Gleason as manager of the Cubs baseball team in the future. George Norvelle will catch for the same team, though later he will be sold to the Tigers.” Now I see Lee Farrar as an ace pilot in a future war. He will be taken captive but will escape to Ethiopia where he will live the rest of his days.” Ah! I see a great crowd of people listening attentively to a great musician. As I look closer I find the musician to be Worth Roberts.” I see Catherine Tyree as a great Metropolitan Opera star.” Now I see two young gentlemen—Aubrey Connelly and Bruce Anderson—in charge of a matrimonial bureau in New York City.” Gazing into Malcolm Woodson’s hand, Zuleka exclaimed, You will some day be a criminal lawyer. Most of your clients will be women.” Carro and Sadie Gunter will marry Siamese twins. The husbands will be tall, charming and handsome.” I see Rebecca Spencer operating a beauty parlor in a well-known city. She will be very successful in giving permanent waves to good-looking men.” I see Genoa Parrish as a contestant in an Atlantic City beauty contest.” Oh! I see Florrie Ewers teaching school in a one-room school up in the mountains. She will marry one of her pupils.” I think Lillian Wright will marry a boy by the name of Louis in the future. The two will live happily with a dog and cat.” Ah! Now I see a great movie actress. Why ’tis Beatrice Simpson. Beatrice will be very popular with a horde of fans.” I see Louise Simpson as secretary to a very rich man. Her work may be touched with romance. She will be very happy.” I see Mary Proffitt as head barber in a barber shop in New Jersey.” Cora Lynch will marry a farmer and settle down to a life of raising chickens, ducks, pigs, and probably children.” I see that Ruby Witt will take a business course. She will become an efficient stenographer.” Somewhat awed by Zuleka’s queer prophecies, we returned to school and began our lessons. Only the future can tell how true Zuleka’s foresight is.

He is a pleasant, agreeable young man and is popular with his teachers. For some reason he was voted the biggest baby among the Senior boys. Aubrey Connelly. AUBREY CONNELLY Aubrey Connelly has dark brown hair, blue eyes, pretty teeth and fair complexion. Aubrey is very fond of outdoor sports, especially baseball and foot¬ ball. If he doesn’t know a Chem¬ istry question, Mr. Delk will say, You should know it, you work in the drug store.” Bruce Anderson, Jr. LEE FARRAR Lee Farrar has a fine physique and is very athletic. He was voted the handsomest boy in the Senior Class. The girls admire Lee very much. One young lady especially seems to claim him as her own. Raymond Harlow. CARRO GUNTER Carro Gunter has blue eyes, coal black hair, and dark complexion. Carro has a very pleasing person¬ ality, makes friends easily and takes a joke with a smile. She is very fond of all outdoor sports. She is my best friend and we share all secrets together, but I can’t understand why she blushes so when Roy Call looks at her. Catharyn Tyree. EILEEN BRYANT The monkey of the class is Eileen Bryant. She has a fine sprinkle of freckles. We really wonder if Eileen could be serious for five minutes at a time. She is always laughing and joking. She is good-natured, a good sport and a good student. Although Eileen is a fun-loving, witty girl, much to my regret, she becomes serious when Mr. Delk starts asking questions in Chemistrv. Frances Davidson. FRANCES DAVIDSON I am glad to say that the class of 193 6 has given me the privilege of writing of Frances Davidson. She has blond hair, light brown eyes, and fair complexion. Her features are refined and her expression is calm. She has the face and manner of a typical scholar. She is a bril¬ liant student and is very ambitious. She is the smartest pupil in the Senior Class of 193 6. Malcolm Woodson. R. T. GLEASON R. T. Gleason is known through¬ out the school for his sunny dispo¬ sition and ready wit. He has a broad smile and a pleasant word for every one. He is an especially good student in chemistry. I think this is the subject he likes the most. Elizabeth Yuille. RAYMOND EIARLOW Raymond is six feet two inches tall. He has dark brown hair, and frank, gray eyes. His feet are not so small, either. On the whole, I would say that he is a rather large, handsome boy. Raymond is fond of boxing and when I put on the gloves with him, I have to call on my feet for speed. I have known Raymond for a long time and I can say that he can take a joke, and is a good sport. Lee Farrar. Letters Lovingston, Virginia. January 16, 1936. Dear Friend: I wonder what you have been doing since the last time I heard from you. I suppose you are still having lots of fun in school. We have lots of fun, too. What are you studying in English, now? We have been studying Emerson’s essays. I particularly admire his essay, Self-Reliance.” Mr. Emerson was truly a wonderful man. A great thinker, a writer, a philosopher and, I consider him a great psychologist. True he made no special study of that branch of learn¬ ing, but from keen observation he gained a wonderful insight into human nature. In his works we recognize our own thoughts, thus illustrating Mr. Emerson’s very words, In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts.” I was also interested in this statement, So¬ ciety everywhere is in conspiracy against the manhood of its members.” Well, personally I know very little of this so-called society. However, we read much of the conditions of society, its affairs and so forth. We also read in fiction of the conditions of society of yes¬ terday. If we should take notes and compare them, I believe we, too, would say, Society never advances.” By merely reading the daily newspapers we can readily understand that members of society would find it exceedingly difficult to develop traits of individuality. If a young debutante should fail to comply with the specified course of procedure, she would be forever disgraced in the eyes of society. So far, society has failed to instill in its members that independence which makes character. So far, it is those men” outside of society who revolutionize the world. I think Emerson is very inspiring. He is certainly a stimulator of thought. If we car¬ ried his inspirations with us every day we could truly live. Emerson begs us to be in¬ dividuals rather than just a group of people. To be real men and women, we must undergo many things. This great scholar says, Whoso would be a man must be a non-conformist.” Without thought we can hardly realize the great task that this implies. We must be will¬ ing to be considered peculiar, to face the dis¬ pleasure of the world. For non-conformity the world whips you with its displeasure.” Day by day we are influenced by the people about us. Though we deny it, we seek to make a good impression upon them. It is very hard to say, What I must do is all that concerns me, not what the people think.” We choose to follow other people’s opinions rather than our own. We hate to say no to many of our fellowmen. No man’s vocabulary is complete unless he has learned to say no. It is easy to drift along with the crowd but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.” Many people think they know our duty better than we do. We must beware of these people, for they often lead us astray. We had an amusing incident to happen in English class. Mrs. Whitehead explained to us the meaning of asinine. She said, In other words, he calls you all jack-asses.” We told every one that Mrs. Whitehead called us jack¬ asses. After reading that paragraph over, I was singularity interested in his statement, We come to wear one cut of face and figure and acquire by degrees the gentlest asinine expres¬ sion.” I can’t exactly agree there, but in sev¬ eral incidents, I agree with Mr. Emerson. At one time or another in our lives we are bored. Often we cannot be a good listener. We force a smile when we are not at all interested. Well, I’m no exception to the rule. As you prob¬ ably know, I dislike parties intensely. Instead of enjoying myself, I wonder how much longer it has to last. At a time like this, that forced smile is truly asinine. No other word describes it half so well as asinine. Just between the two of us, I not only look like a jack-ass, but I feel like one. Ha! One of the greatest hindrances to self-re¬ liance is too much regard for the past. In this moving world we must change to meet chang¬ ing conditions. Yet many of us are prone to follow old customs because our forefathers fol¬ lowed those customs. Emerson says that a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds.” This is true, also. By imitating our minds become warped and little. This great philosopher urges us to act as we think right in our own hearts and to scorn appearances. He says, Always scorn appearances and you always may.” We esteem the men who have gone before us too highly. We should be voices of today rather than of yesterday. He also says that honor is venerable to us because it lasts but a day. We worship it today be¬ cause it is not of today.” We shall not always o emors MARJORIE HARRIS Marjorie is a girl who has hazel eyes and brown hair, curled about the ends. At school sh e is very quiet and reserved, but when she sees Ralph, she is a changed girl. One thing that Marjorie hates is a sissy boy, so beware, you sissy boys. She loves pretty clothes and Ralph. She has a lovely disposition and is seldom angry. Marjorie gives lovely finger waves. Katherine Horsley. ELLEN JOHNSON I have not had the privilege of knowing Ellen Johnson long, but during my association with her she has inspired me with admiration for her good nature and sunny disposi¬ tion. Ellen likes to tell jokes and we wonder Sometimes if she couldn’t beat R. T. in a contest. Ellen is a large, tall girl with black, shiny hair and beautiful teeth. She loves to sing and can, without any apparent effort. Worth Roberts. LOUISE MILLER Louise Miller has brown hair, which she keeps curled most of the time. She has brown eyes and fair complexion. She weighs about one hundred pounds, more or less. It can’t be more, so it must be less. She is very quiet. The reason is she is very much in love. I think she is very fond of the name Hubert, and, also, of the person who bears this name. Mary Ellen Kidd. GENOA PARRISH Genoa Parrisli is a very attractive girl who has dark brown hair, grey eyes, a pretty nose, white even teeth, and a fair complexion. She has a good figure and posture, and always looks nice in her clothes. Genoa is a sweet, friendly girl with beautiful manners and a pleasing personality. She is very popular and may be termed a regular heart-breaker.” She wears a diamond. Rebecca Spencer. KATHERINE HORSLEY Katherine Horsley has brown hair, brown eyes, and olive complexion. She is about five and one-half feet tall and weighs about 120 pounds. She hates profane language but likes sweet candy and Tommy. She has a very sweet disposition until she is made mad and then her disposition is bad. So beware. She has a great ambition of becoming a lawyer some day. She is known as the biggest flirt of the Senior Class. Marjorie Harris. CORA LYNCH Cora Lynch is one of my best friends. She is tall, slim, and weighs about one hundred and fif¬ teen pounds. She has dark brown bobbed hair and dark eyes. Cora has a very sweet disposition and makes friends wherever she goes. It is indeed a pleasure to know her. Ruby Witt. GEORGE NORVELLE George has brown eyes and hair. He is about five feet seven inches tall. He is very quiet and re¬ served at school, but I bet when he goes to see Harriet Hill, he isn’t very quiet!! George is quite fond of reading. Every time you see him he has his nose stuck in a book. Another thing he is fond of is buying Lucy’s kisses. Who wouldn’t like them? Charlie Powell. FRANCES PONTON Frances Ponton has brown hair, which is inclined to be wavy. Her eyes are a very bright brown and her complexion is fair. She is five feet, four inches in height and weighs one hundred and ten pounds. She has a sweet disposition. If you don’t think she is in love, call Jimmy Rodger’s name and watch her blush. Sadie Gunter. set so great a price on a few texts; on a few lives. Emerson stresses self-reliance in this quota¬ tion, Nature suffers nothing to remain in her kingdom which cannot help itself.” If we are to have a place in the world, we must win it. We must learn to care for ourselves and not be dependent upon others. We cannot gain a place in this world unless we are self-reliant. Among the other hindrances to self-reliance are false prayers and creeds and reliance on the progress of society, on property and on gov¬ ernment. True prayer is the spirit of God pronouncing his works good.” But prayer as a means to achieve private ends is theft. So¬ ciety certainly does not improve our standards and customs. All men plume themselves on the improvement of society and no man im¬ proves.” Reliance on property and the gov¬ ernment which protects it is want of self-re¬ liance. Men measure their esteem of each other by what each has, and not by what each )) is. Emerson says, Nothing can bring you peace but yourself. Nothing can bring you peace but the triumph of principles.” This is in truth—self-reliance. Having finished Self-Reliance,” we next took up The American Scholar.” This was an oration given before his Phi Beta Kappa in 18 37. Holmes called it our intellectual dec¬ laration of independence.” Of the two es¬ says, I preferred Self-Reliance,” though, both are very enjoyable. The true scholar is not a mere thinker but a man thinking. Often because of the influ¬ ence of society, he becomes not only a mere thinker but, a parrot of other men’s think- • 55 mg. Emerson says the theory of books is noble,” but they are not always well used. Books are destructive when they tend to make book¬ worms. This class of people is not related to nature or human nature. Emerson says, Books are for nothing but to inspire. I had better never see a book than to be warped by its attraction clean out of my own orbit and be made a satellite instead of a system.” A nec¬ essity in life is an active soul. The active soul utters the truth and creates.” Emerson says that there is a popular idea that the scholar should be a recluse unfit for any manual labor. The scholar of this type is not a man. Action is essential. He says, I do not see how any man can afford, for the sake of his nerves and his nap, to spare any action in which he can partake. It is pearls and rubies to his discourse. Drudgery and calamity are instructor in eloquence and wis¬ dom.” To have lived the scholar must have had action. Life is our dictionary. I learn immediately from any speaker how much he has already lived, through the poverty or splen¬ dor of his discourse.” The splendid speaker has lived, he has worked and struggled, and he has participated in every opportunity of action. The true scholar must have character. He must trust himself and be brave. He must put fear behind him. Fear always springs from ignorance.” The scholar must be brave, he must fulfill his duty. This duty is to cheer, to raise, and to guide men by show¬ ing them facts amid appearances.” By doing this duty, the scholar can bring to pass the hope of America. The ultimate hope of Amer¬ ica today, Is the Upbuilding of Man.” Emerson says we must stand on our own feet and help ourselves. He says, No man in God’s wide earth is either willing or able to help any other man.” We, as individuals of today must stand on our instincts and an¬ swer, We will walk on our own feet, we will work with our own hands, we will speak our own thoughts.” From lack of time and space, this letter must close. I have given you a general idea of the two essays. Though, I have written several pages much remains to be said of the essays inasmuch as they serve as a stimulus to much thought. Write and give me your opinion of these essays. Sincerely yours, Frances Davidson. Warsaw, Poland, March 11th, 1936. Dear Seniors of 1936: Little did I dream that the tenth anniversary of my graduation from L. H. S. would find me in Warsaw, Poland. But who knows what the years have in store for any of us? Ever since I can remember I planned to be¬ come a nurse when I grew up and with that in mind I entered training at the University of Virginia Hospital in November, 1926, and completed my training in 1929. After having done private duty in Albe¬ marle and Nelson counties I applied for a position in the United States Public Health Service, and on September 15th, 193 0, was enioFS CHARLIE POWELL I have been given the privilege of writing a description of the Sheik” of the Senior Class, Charlie Powell. He has light brown hair and a school girl” complexion. Charlie is very fond of the girls and loves to tease them. I understand that he likes a certain blond young lady. He has a very good disposition. I think he is also the teacher’s pet. Mrs. Lea calls him her boy.” Juliet Redd. LOIS PUCKETT Lois Puckett has light hair, which she keeps curled, and blue eyes. She has a few freckles on her face. Is about five feet five, weighs about one hundred and fifty pounds. Lois doesn’t like for any one to tell her she is fat. She has a sweet disposition and nice manners. She can easily make friends with anyone. She loves books and loves to pet dogs. Ellen Johnson. WORTH ROBERTS Worth Roberts has light brown hair, blue eyes and very pretty skin. Worth always wears a smile and is the same whenever you see her. She has a very sweet disposition and is liked by every one at school. She likes to ride a bicycle very much and she is especially fond of the name Roy. She was chosen one of the maids of honor for the May Queen last year. Mary Proffitt. LOUISE SIMPSON Louise Simpson has dark brown hair, dark eyes and a fair complex¬ ion. She is very attractive. She likes to go to Covesville, but it’s mostly to see Sidney, I think. I don’t know what is wrong with her mind that she should go in an A.B.C. store for a sandwich. But, after all, she is a very nice girl and can take a joke, so that’s why I told this on her. Mabel Stevens. MARY PROFFITT Mary Proffitt has blue eyes, dark brown hair, and olive complexion. Mary is a girl who is always quiet and reserved, not only at school, but every where I’ve seen her. She is very hard to make mad. In fact, I’ve never seen her mad, and this shows what a nice disposition she has. Last but not least, I want to say that I like Mary very much. Katherine Horsley. JULIET B. REDD Juliet Redd was chosen by the class as the most popular girl in the senior room. She has light brown hair, grey eyes and a fair complex¬ ion. Juliet takes a joke just the right way. Not long ago, during morn¬ ing exercises, she proceeded to take the top off her lunch box, only to find a pigtail curled up on her lunch. She gave a shriek and then burst into a spell of laughter. Harriet Spencer. BEATRICE SIMPSON Beatrice Simpson has dark wavy hair, brown eyes, and fair complex¬ ion. You always see Beatrice wear¬ ing a smile. She has a very sweet disposition and makes friends easily, especially with the boys. She knows how to take a joke. I have been with her for the last ten years and enjoyed being with her. She is a true friend for anyone. She is fond of outdoor sports, dancing and C.C.C. boys. Lillian Wright. HARRIET HILL SPENCER Harriet Hill Spencer is a medium type girl, with short brown, wavy hair, brown eyes and fair complex¬ ion. Harriet is a good sport and has many friends. She is liked by every one. The boys like her, too, but who would blame them? Harriet loves social life and has a good time wherever she goes. We all wonder what she is going to do after she graduates. Florrie Ewers. given, an assignment as staff nurse in the Ma¬ rine Hospital at Ellis Island, N. Y. In August, 193 3, I took a twelve and a half day cruise on the S. S. Franconia to Ha¬ vana, Cuba, and stopped over in Nassau and Bermuda. That trip was just the beginning of my travels. On the 22nd of December, 193 3, I was married at the Little Church Around the Corner” in New York City, and on January 3rd, 1934, sailed for Naples, Italy, on the S. S. Manhattan. We landed at Havre, France, January 10th, and rode three and a half hours by train to Paris, remaining there two days. We contin¬ ued by train to Rome and on to Naples, arriv¬ ing January 13th, 1934. In May of that year we went to Stuttgart, Germany, for a month by way of Milan, Italy, and spent a day travelling through the beau¬ tiful mountains of Switzerland. We left Naples May 10th, 1935, for War¬ saw, Poland, visiting Florence and Venice, Italy, and Vienna, Austria en route. The past ten months have been spent in Warsaw. May ten years hence find you all as happy as I am. Sincerely yours, Hallie Farrar Thweatt. been realized. And in its realization, I find myself completely happy in the associations, friendships, and various other attributes it has to offer. For this happiness, I find that I have only my early training at L. H. S. to thank. In a cross-section of life, we find that the various phases of education blend themselves harmoniously with life itself. Now 1 have graduated to that part of life which is the most important preparation for the future. During the four years which are required for its accomplishment, other people are aiding us, imbuing us with the knowledge that it has taken them their life-time to acquire. It was true in High School, even as it will be all through life. Consequently, we must, having profited by the progression of those before us, use the knowledge obtained from them to the best of our ability. In conclusion, I wish only that each one of you may leave L. H. S. knowing the good fortune that has been yours; and with the most sincere desire and ambition, go out into the world, recognize its faults and shortcom¬ ings—and with chin high and a broad smile, go out to conquer. And may my best wishes and all the luck in the world go with you. Sincerely, Shirley T. Sherman. Sargent College, February 15, 1936. To the Seniors of Lovingston High School: You should feel very proud of the fact that you are graduating from Lovingston High School—a secondary school which comprises an excellent part of that great and fine Nelson County. I realize now, even as you will, that the faculty of Lovingston High School tried to the best of their ability to give me a founda¬ tion that would enable me to get the very most from my college career. The knowledge of their endeavor was not noticed at the time, but as I have grown older, I have recognized the actual worth, use, and practicability that their striving has come to mean to me. The foundation that one receives in a High School such as L. H. S., supplies one of the basic fundamentals absolutely necessary to a college education. From my earliest childhood d ays, I have fondly cherished the dream of eventually attending Sargent College, a school of Physical education. Now this dream has Washington, D. C. February 27, 1936. Dear Mrs. Lea: Since my earliest rememberance, I have wanted to become a nurse. And now, that I have been privileged to enter one of the finest nursing schools in the United States, The Gallinger Municipal Hospital, Washington, D. C., I wonder if it would interest you if I should tell you just a little about by experi¬ ences here. I arrived at the Nurses’ Home on the eve¬ ning of September the third, and was cordially received by the superintendent of nurses her¬ self, and the House Mother. Since then I have met many of the doctors, supervisors, and in¬ structors who have been very helpful and un¬ derstanding. Classes did not begin for several days, so there was time to get acquainted with the girls who were to be my classmates. The new isolation building which is a part of the hospital, was dedicated the day the new emors REBECCA SPENCER Rebecca Spencer has dark brown hair, which she curls beautifully, very bright brown eyes, a small straight nose and pretty white teeth. Rebecca is very friendly and at¬ tractive. She has manv friends among both boys and girls. She was voted on in the Senior Class of 1 93 5-36 as the neatest girl. She claims that she is a man-hater. Genoa Parrish. TOMPKINS STROTHER Tompkins Strother was voted the best sport in the Senior Class of 193 5-36. She plays basketball and likes outdoor sports, especially swim¬ ming. Her hobbies are dancing and eating. She also loves to chew gum. She keeps poor Bdl Trice broke buy¬ ing gum. Miss Lila speaks to her about it almost every day, but it doesn’t seem to do much good.

RELIGION Religion is within itself character. It cov¬ ers so many phases of life that it is hard to conform it to a short talk. Without religion the minds of men and women become narrow and warped. No matter how great our will power and courage, or no matter how polished our manners, we are not good characters with¬ out religion. For patience, kindness, gentle¬ ness and many other lovable traits that con¬ stitute character are fostered by religion. Our religion gives us a high standard of liv¬ ing. Our codes of morality are products of religion. Scientists show that we are greatly influenced and guided by our ideals. We all have our ideals and naturally these ideals pos¬ sess the traits of a good character. But are not these traits formed as a result of religion? The greater our faith, the higher our ideals. So we may safely say that should we forsake our faith, the human race would sink into pits of sin and evil. Today, we possess a broad-minded view of religion. We are ready to tolerate and re¬ spect the views of others. We no longer re¬ sort to the stern, strict views of our Puritan ancestors. In fact, we are so far from these views that most of us are termed non Chris¬ tians.” Such has been certain periods all through the ages. There have been periods of zealous religion, followed by a period in which the people did not turn to God. These latter periods were reactions against the views of the foregoing period. But through each type, God remained. But indeed, He is one of the few things that does remain. Through peace and prosperity, through suffering and de¬ pression, He is still there. And lastly, religion is not acquired through education. Many traits of character are drilled into us through education. But nothing is more touching or more enlightening than the simple faith of poor but honest, God-fearing men. Frances Davidson. PATRIOTISM Patriotism is the love of home. There is one little corner of the earth that you love above all others and that is your home. For your home is your own corner of the world. So when we call our country our Homeland, it is something more than a name. It is no small thing that our country does for us in guarding our right to a civilized life. It is we, who make the nation strong or weak, and we owe it to our country to keep it strong. Patriotism is the desire to make your coun¬ try the best place in the world. Though, we must love the world, we must love our coun¬ try best. Mr. Kipling has said, Who dies, if Eng¬ land lives,” and Nathan Hale, when he was being hanged as a spy, said, My only regret is I have but one life to give for my country.” One of the greatest patriots of the world, who was also among the greatest patriots of France, was Pasteur, and when he was dying, he said these noble words, I am sorry to die, because I wanted to do much for my coun¬ try.” It has the sanction of heaven itself, this love of country and as for us, if we forget our native land, let Liberty forsake us. HONESTY We owe it to ourselves, to our neighbors, and to the world, to be honest. Honesty is the best policy. It will bring us hardships at times, but it will give us peace in the end. There are rogues and thieves who make for¬ tunes; there are dishonest men who build up great wealth and seem to enjoy great happi¬ ness, but they live in no security. They may fall at anytime. We live and prosper by seeking and speak¬ ing the truth, and there is no other way to J umnor Class OFFICERS Reginald Dawson. President Florence Thacker Vice-President Kathleen Dawson . . .

He who does not speak the truth, will believe nobody else and his life is one long round of uncertainty, haunted by the fear of being found out. Even though, we suffer for it we must speak the truth. One lie leads on to another. A lie is like a snow ball, it grows as it goes on its 1 way. There is dishonesty all through the political and public life. There are men who care noth¬ ing for their country, but seek to win posi¬ tions of power that they may serve some pur¬ pose of their own. Of all forms of dishonesty, none is worse than this, for it corrupts a public cause and thousands of people, or a whole nation, may suffer for one man’s gain. What we have to say of a man let us say it as steadily before his face as behind his back. It is a wise rule and a safe one. Let us be honest to all, to ourselves and to our country. An honest man is the noblest work of God.” Juliette Redd. IMPORTANCE OF A GOOD DISPOSITION Some people think, or some may even have said that a person is born with his disposition, whether good or bad. If it happens to be good—all right—but if it happens to be bad, it’s all wrong, for the simple fact, a person’s life is governed a great deal by his disposi¬ tion. I have met people who were not very pleas¬ ing to look upon but after a short acquain¬ tance, their dispositions proved to be such that they become beautiful. On the other hand, we have all seen people who were considered won¬ derful as far as looks went, yet their disposi¬ tions made them repulsive to every one. Thus, we find it not only necessary but very important to cultivate a good disposition. Don’t be over-sensitive, or think that every criticism is meant for you, whether it is good or bad. Don’t have the idea that the other fellow’s way isn’t just as good as your own. Learn to smile, even if you do not always feel like it. Don’t speak too quickly, for it is bet¬ ter to remain silent, and not show your high temper, than to run the risk of losing a friend. Harriet Spencer. GOOD MANNERS One of the first stepping stones to a happy life is what we call good manners, and they are within the reach of all. Now, a very few people can be rich, and have power, and they are not after all the hap¬ piest people when they have it. The better course is to win a way by attractiveness which comes naturally out of the heart, and the first step is good manners. Manners are the wisdom left from the ex¬ perience of generations. Their object is to tone down whatever might be objectionable to other people, and to make our living with one another smooth and agreeable. Good manners do not come out of books on etiquette that tell us how to behave, though there is a great deal of such knowledge, it is well we should have absorbed completely. True courtesy is born out of our own hearts. Good manners fix the habit of being hon¬ estly thoughtful in making others happy, and at ease in our presence, and of not thrusting ourselves carelessly or roughly or selfishly upon them. There is but one way to acquire really good manners, and that is to have the kind and considerate heart which suggests instinc¬ tively the kind and considerate act. Dr. Frank Crane said, Your manners are the printed page on which people read of what you are inside.” But, really good manners are the best of all starts in life, and they never wear out, but become ingrained in our lives. TRUTHFULNESS One of the most important things in our character, I think, is truthfulness. We must be truthful in every thing if we expect to suc¬ ceed in our undertakings. If we expect to win the friendship of our teachers and other pupils at school, we must be truthful. If once they learn that we have told a falsehood or have been untrue to them, they do not put any more confidence in us. In our every day life people are watching us and very often they are trying us to see if we can be trusted. I don’t care how poor a per¬ son is if he is truthful, he manages to get along some way, for the people learn that he is going to do the right thing and they will help him. My idea is that if a person is truthful, he will win where ever he goes. Bruce Anderson. BRAVERY Bravery is one of the most worthy char¬ acteristics a person can possess. There are times in life when only the brave can stand. There are many different types of bravery. Usually, when we hear the word used, we have a vision of a strong man rescuing a person from drowning, or dashing out in front of an auto¬ mobile to prevent a child from being run over. But there are other brave acts just as great. A frail mother will sit by a dying child alone all night. Often, a physically weak person will stand against a crowd and do what he or she knows to be right in spite of the public opin¬ ion. Sometimes, it requires a brave person to tell the truth when a lie would make things so much easier. A little child can be brave enough to do that. Animal mothers give a good demonstration of bravery in the way they defend their young. In time of danger they will never leave, even if they lose their lives. A truly brave man is one who can be a hero if necessary, one who never runs away from trouble or suffering, one who can bear his share of pain without complaining, and one who can stand up for truth and right in spite of public opinion. So we can clearly see that our char¬ acter is out of balance without bravery. R. T.

It consisted of contestants from four counties, namely, Nelson, Campbell, Albemarle, and Amherst. There were forty- eight entries but due to the dreadful weather only twenty-eight of the beauties” arrived. Mr. Delk, our principal, selected Mary Baker, a junior, as our school representative. There were three out-of-town judges who showed their excellent ability in choosing, as the win¬ ner, Mary Baker. Sheriff and Mrs. K. M. Baker, Mary’s parents, were very much pleased with the result of the contest; and the nicest thing of all is that Mary is our same dear Mary, because her winning the beauty contest has not made her vain. The cup had engraved upon it: Mary Baker Winner of Beauty Contest Schuyler High School Schuyler, Virginia. Her picture has appeared in the Washington Post, Baltimore Sun and one of the Richmond papers. Kathleen Dawson, ’3 5. MY CREED (Second Prize) 1. I believe in God, our Father. 2.

Gleason. AN OLD SHOE Freddie had just received a spanking. He could see no reason for this, unless the bits of jam on his mouth had betrayed him. The in¬ strument with which his mother had performed this sad deed was a dilapidated shoe which she had found in her grandmother’s trunk. To explain matters, her grandmother has just died, and left her the trunk and a few personal be¬ longings. In it was the shoe which she had un¬ earthed as she knelt beside. Then Freddie had appeared and the consequences were two or three hard licks from the shoe. The poor boy felt very bitter against the shoe and after his mother had gone, he resolved to burn it. He heard his mother coming back so he hid in the closet to wait until he had another chance. As it was late in the afternoon and he hadn’t had a nap, he fell asleep. While in that condition he dreamed a very strange dream. It seemed as if he were in the Fand of Shoes” and a great big shoe exactly like the one he held in his hand was chasing him. The shoe was a small dancing slipper of satin, and leather soles half worn out. He flew in a house right into the arms of a grandfather shoe. He was a very kindly old sh oe and hid the boy when the dancing slipper came into the house to search for him. The shoe gave him something to eat while he proceeded to tell him about the slipper. My boy,” he said, you mustn’t abuse old shoes, for you can never tell where they come from. Now this one started from a silk cocoon in China. It was taken and put in hot water to unravel the silk, after which the fiber was taken to a manufacturing plant to be woven into satin cloth. It was then sent to a shoe factory where it met up with a piece of leather from an Alaskan seal. They were sewed to¬ gether to form a shoe which had a mate exactly like it. They sent the pair to a shop in Paris where a beautiful young lady, your grand¬ mother, purchased them to wear at her wed¬ ding when she returned to America. The shoe and its mate were worn on the prettiest pair of feet in their time, an honor which was well suited to a pair like them. Your grandmother prized these shoes greatly and would not like to have them mistreated; in fact, she liked them so well that she confided to them many of her joys, prides, and sorrows. The shoes, to her, showed much sympathy or joy at every occurrence of her life and it has this prejudice for you only because you wished to destroy it. And so you should not mistreat old shoes because they are true relics of the past.” Oh, thank you, Mr. Shoe,” cried Freddie, I’ll always be good to shoes now.” And at this point Freddie awoke and heard his mother calling him. He took up the shoe and ran to put it back in the trunk. He never forgot the story in his dream and even though it isn’t true it proves that shoes can have senti¬ ment about them as well as wedding dresses and such things. Jane Mawyer. Original Story.

Through the meadow ran the brook, A boy and girl sat on the bank, The head and heart of the poor girl sank, When the boy inquired, Say, can you cook?” Now the boy is living in a boarding house, And the girl is living with Mom and Dad, The story told is truly sad, For a good cook only the boy would spouse.

THE FLOWERS Along the garden wall I softly walked, To listen at the fairies and flowers talk, I listened ancf smiled and trembled with glee, You may not believe it, but they were talking to me. My stately hollyhocks plainly said, We bow when we hear her queenly tread,” The roses smiled in the dim starlight. Saying, Her heart is so pure, her smile is so bright.” The pansy said, I’m small as you can see. But when she comes, I’m sure she loves me.” The poppies said, She loves us, too, As we dance for her the whole day through.” The sunflowers beamed yellow above them all, I can see,” they said, she’s by the garden wall, She has come to say ' Good night’ before she goes to rest, So let’s each bow and look our best.” That’s the way I found them in the garden that night, Although I had listened and it wasn’t polite, But I love them all in the dew or the rain, And perhaps, by the wall, I shall listen again.

SPRING OFFICIAL JEWELER AND STATIONER TO THE SENIOR CLASS Class Rings - Invitations Medals - Trophies L. G. BALFOUR CO. ATTLEBORO, MASS. SPRING Spring is here with its joy, Welcomed by the barefoot boy. Music, laughter, moonlit streams, Dancing, brightness and maidens’ dreams. Each thing happy, each thing gay, Striving on its blithesome way. Birds, flowers and everything, Trying their best to greet the spring. Each to the other is conversing, As il a comedy they are rehearsing. As over the horizon the sun falls, From the distance come whip-po’-will calls. As if laughing at some ancedote, By the streams the frogs croak. Each thing happy and glad to live, Each thing taking and glad to give. Trees, birds, flowers and everything, Eager to live—now that it’s spring. The most beautiful sight in the world to me, Is Mistress Spring in all her glee. Spring is here with flowers blooming And birds singing, And the brooklets sparkle clear, All these joy bringing. The hyacinth and the tulip, Are peeping from their beds, They are bringing spring back, As the buttercups rear their heads. The sun is shining down, The sky is so blue, While Mr. Robin looks around, To find a note that’s true. After winter’s harsh retreat, And no more cold is here, Spring comes in golden defeat. The gladdest time of all the year. Malcolm Woodson. SPRING This is a beautiful spring day, Much to our delight. The birds are singing gaily, And the children are at play. Cora Lynch.

The day was bright, And to my delight, I saw a sight, As I flew my kite. A bird lit on top And made it go flop. I tried hard to stop, But still it would not.

When my time comes to die, I want to die in one place, and not have my bones scattered here and there—and part of me ashes.” But Grandma,” Betty smiled, just think, an airplane ride all over town for only fifty cents. How wonderful that would be!” Grandma snorted, Do you suppose that I would trust any one with my life for only fifty cents? You leave little Nancy here with me and go on for your ride and enjoy your¬ self.” Here’s the morning paper. You keep each other company while I’m gone,” Betty said, and was off for a joy ride. Grandma took the paper, unfolded it, her eyes grew the size of teacups. My lands! Nancy, look what this paper says. ' A bear has escaped from the King Brothers’ Show and is roaming over the countryside. Everyone is warned to be on the lookout for him.’ ” Oh ain’t that just terrible? It sho’ is aw¬ ful. 1 ain’t never seen a real bear, just pic¬ tures. They say bears eats you up as soon as they lays eyes on you. Your grandpa told me that they roared awfully.” After Grandma had read over the paper she said, Nancy, let’s go over to the blackberry patch on the hill to get some berries for our lunch.” Of course Nancy was eager to do so. They picked their way carefully through the woods and arrived safely on the hill at the blackberry patch. As Grandma walked around the patch she called, Nancy, come look at this great big red bird. It is the largest thing I ever saw! Don’t get near it cause if it would flap its wings on you, you would be smashed.” Just then a man appeared. He stuttered, Go-oo-od morning, ma-am.” Are you trying to catch that bird?” she asked. Oh no,” he laughed. There’s no danger of this bird’s leaving the ground without me. This is an airplane, the ' Winner.’ ” Oh yes! Well it’s the closest I’ve ever been to one of these things.” He worked around it for some time. Grand¬ ma and Nancy filled their basket with berries and started for home. The man hopped into the plane and started the motor. Oh the bear!” she screamed. She dropped her basket, spilled its contents, grabbed Nancy in her arms and tossed her into the back seat of the planes. The pilot was dazed. He lifted her in the back seat with Nancy. She could still hear the roaring. Where do you want to go?” he asked. To that white house over there.” She pointed to the house across the hill. Ele landed in the backyard. They got out and Grandma said, Thanks.” They started for the front door and met Nancy’s father. Didn’t that plane land in the backyard?” he asked. Yes,” Nancy answered. Just then it started up again. Oh that is the bear.” She took Nancy in her arms and ran for the door. Nancy’s father entered the house and laughed heartily. Well, Grandma, that was not any bear. It was an airplane. The bear was caught this morning.” Lois Spencer. Lynn K.

When they got their sacks full, they decided to separate them in the graveyard that night. When they went through the gate they dropped two walnuts. The people had been told that the grave¬ yard was hainted.” Two men were going by the graveyard that night and saw the light. They decided they were going to find out what it was. They stopped at the gate when they heard the boys talking. The boys were saying, One for you,” One for me,” One for you,” One for me,” and when they fin¬ ished what they had in the sacks, they said, Now, we’ll get the two at the gate and have them all.” The men heard this and ran, for they thought it was God and the Devil divid¬ ing out the people.

He proudly walked up and down a street showng it off.” A Mr. Jones, a ventriloquist, saw the man and thought he would have some fun with him.
