We, a group of enthusiastic youngsters, stepping out into a larger field of education—we knew not what was before us. For four years we have been put through one of the most complete drills ever devised to turn a group of ignorant boys and girls—in other words, raw material—into men and women ready to do greater work to better our community. We must have been a trying bunch, as none of the teachers we had that year returned the next. We had Miss Marsh, Miss Ambler, Miss Parr, and Mr. Sibiakoff-sky, and Mr. Story. Our Principal, Mr. Story, must have been all patience that term, for all I can remember was our efforts to get accustomed to the new ways of the High School—and Mr. Story's patience in our Science class—for he taught Science at our school, besides acting Principal for both our school and the Graded School. In September, 1925, Mr. Drummond became our Principal, and the new teachers w'ere: Mrs. Garner for Home Economics, Miss Doyle for Latin and French, Mrs. Petersen for English, Miss Bowler for Math, and History. Mrs. Garner was our Room Teacher, but as her work kept her mainly in the Cottage, we had lots of time 13 to ourselves, and we were a wild and untamed lot for the most part. At the same time we did some good work—such as organizing our class. The colors, Lavender and Cold were chosen, and our President was Mary White; Vice-President, Florie Tanner; Secretary-Treasurer, Iva Dawson. We also organized the English Club that year, with Jack Thomas for President, and Iva Daw'son for Secretary. This organization proved a source of amusement and training as well as a help in our classes. Then, too, in our Sophomore year most of the girls began their study of Home Economics and found it very interesting as well as of great benefit to them. During our Junior year another room was added to the school, and our Faculty was also increased. Miss Maryon Wood came to teach English, and Miss Woodward took the place left vacant by Mrs. Garner. Although a number of us were beginning to take our studies seriously, and we were all finding it hard work, nevertheless we found time for several parties, notably our Christmas festival, which proved a great success. Late in the Spring we entertained the Seniors with a garden party, carrying out their color scheme of pink and green. This year, too, we organized our secret society, known as the 0. G. A., which drew us together, making us feel more like sisters than mere school-mates. Our fourth and last year draws us to the realization of our life-long dream of receiving our diplomas—and our rings. We are glad to know that as we go out, those who follow us will enjoy to the fullest extent the improvements that have been added to the school—the new furnace, and the new single desks. During this year our Literary Society was organized, and as the membership was made optional, great interest has been taken, and some very good programs presented. Also our 0. C. A. flourishes, with an increased membership. In the early Spring we gave a Minstrel for the benefit of the school. We had to work hard for a while, but our trouble was well rewarded—and we had the double pleasure of having a good time and helping the school at the same time. I shall never forget the day all the Seniors visited the photographer’s to have the pictures taken for the Annual. Until the pictures were actually taken, we were very nervous, but afterwards the reaction set in and we celebrated hilariously. Perhaps we had better leave the exact nature of the celebration to the memories of the Seniors. As I look back over our High School life, I feel that I can speak for the whole class and say that our four years have been a great success, due mostly to the cooperation of our parent? and teachers. 14 —Florie Tanner. One day I went with a friend to have some glasses fitted, and as 1 walked into the optician’s office I noticed a large clear globe. I asked the optician if it was a real magic globe, and he smiled and told me to see if I could see anything in it while 1 waited for my friend. As I gazed at the crystal, held in my lap, it gradually clouded, and then, as the cloudiness disappeared 1 saw pictures- members of the Senior Class—each one going in his owti way of life. The first picture I saw was one of a large High School class, and I was very much surprised to recognize Margie Layne standing before this class of boys and girls, teaching English. Next, by the bedside of a patient in the Virginia Baptist Hospital, I saw Dr. Selma Gottschall gravely studying the condition of her patient, and ably assisted by two graduate nurses, Florence Ray and Mabel Powell. As the scene lingered, Iva Dawson entered, summoned for conference. She was evidently superintendent of nurses, and by the respect paid her, I knew she was a success. The third picture was one of a most attractive home, set back in a large grove of trees. As I watched, the Amherst bus stopped in front of the house, and a handsome young man stepped off—his brief case making it apparent that he was a lawyer. As he entered the gate, the door of the house opened, and Aileen Hicks—no—Aileen Harris, greeted her husband. As the bus passed on I caught a glimpse of Odelle Hudson, and I knew that she was going back to Sweet Briar, where she was.instructor after her graduation. Odelle had paid her own way through, aided greatly by getting subscriptions for the Curtis Publishing Company. “Give her your subscription.” Gazing intently into the heart of the crystal, I saw Emma Gowen, head of the Home Economics Department in Virginia. She seemed to have no regular school, traveling about inspecting the work of the department, and enjoying the delicious lunches offered at the various schools. As I watched, I saw her enter the dear old M. H. H. S. Cottage, to be welcomed by Gladys Coffey—Home Economics teacher— and a perennial flapper, of course. The next picture was one of a large residence in the Rivermont section of Lynchburg. Lights shone in the windows and the gracious hostess, welcoming her guests at the door. I saw with delight was Myrtle Ayers Connelly. Hers was the 15 delightful informality of those who are, and associate with, the great, and among her guests I saw many familiar faces, changed only slightly by the dignity of power and success. The Governor of Virginia was there—and with him was his secretary, Margaret Cash. 1 saw the women studying her appraisingly, and I heard her mentioned as the next Governor. Clara Stinnette was talking animatedly with the President of the United States, and as I heard parts of their conversation 1 was no less amazed to find that Clara had just published a new and popular History of the United States; then 1 was to recognize as the President, Russell Peters! A political discussion in one corner interested me, as I saw the head of the Women’s Federated Clubs, Myrtle Ewers, and Ella Dillard, arguing with Peyton Andrews. Ella was a very famous and popular congresswoman, and Peyton, through his chain of stores, kept touch with the political situation throughout the country. As the pictures shifted, I heard women enthusiastically praising the work of Thelma Taylor, whose celebrated Beauty Shoppe had aided the beauty of many in that assemblage. I did not see Thelma, herself, except for a moment as she followed Florie Tanner into the room, for Florie had consented to dance, and her performance was graceful and skillful. As she finished, 1 saw Mrs. Jack Thomas call her husband away from some discussion to listen to Shaner Wright’s reading of his own newest poem. Then, in the pause that followed after the generous applause, a sweet tenor voice sang some selections of the most popular music—Lloyd had yielded to urging, and consented to sing privately, for his hostess’ guests, some of the songs for which he usually received thousands as vaudeville entertainer. Then the guests began to go, and among the ones lingering I heard familiar names. Della’s latest novel was a “Best Seller,” Margaret Gouldthorpe’s latest picture, “Love Will Find a Way,” was then playing at the Isis. As I turned the glass a great, magnificent building loomed before me. which I readily saw was a department store in New York City. I wandered through the store, admiring the gorgeous displays, finally coming to the toy shop. There in a comer, surrounded by a crowd of admiring little girls was a tiny little lady— looking like a doll, herself—holding and showing the dolls—Mary Woodson, of course. Selling dolls had always been one of her highest ambitions, and to that she had turned, in spite of the several college degrees she could write after her name. Still in New York, but in one of the East Side Mission Schools, 1 found Jeanette Price, teaching little Italians, Russians and Greeks. On the athletic field of one of our foremost Universities I found Robert Tabor, patiently training students to reach his own high standard of athletic ability, while liis pal, Elmo Page, circling about two thousand feet up in the air, gave exhibitions of his advertising ability in cloud writing. In an uptown apartment, presiding as hostess at a fashionable tea I found Louise, but the spell was beginning to break, and the picture dimmed, even as I bent over the doorplate. I read—Mr. and Mrs. J. W.—but I could see no more—. Then I realized that I knew nothing of my own future, and starting up I shouted wildlv, “But where will I be? What shall I do?” There was a dull explosion, and a shock, and as my vision cleared I found myself still in the optician’s office. He was holding the globe in his hand, politely-disclaiming my friend’s apologies for my awkwardness. “No, no!” he said, “No harm done. It is just optical glass. It’s very hard, and I’m sure it isn’t hurt in the least.” 16 —Mary White.

A period is used to complete the ahberation of a sentence. Her parents were her father’s brother’s sister. Then Shakespeare married his Aunt Hathaway. An example of physical maladjustment is when a blue-eyed mother and a blueeyed father have a blue-eyed child. Then Isaac told Esau to go out and kill him a wild pottage. And God created the fouls of the water.
