Our crew elected Harper Callison, Captain; Ann Yeager, Co-Captain; and Dan Moore, Scribe. We took Carolyn Thomas and Peggy Zickafoose along to entertain us and to raise our spirits if the going got tough. When we land¬ ed we found ourselves surrounded by a strange tribe who initiated us to their country in a strange manner peculiar to their tribe. But after this for mal welcome, they entertained us well. Now that we had made our landing, we started our search for the fabulous treasure, the Tournament Cup. Traveling inland, we came to the land of the Sophomores where we elected a red headed athlete, Jnuior Long, as our leader. Dale Curry was his Chief Lieutenant, and Ann Yeager became the Scribe. Gerald Gordon was put in charge of guarding the treasure. Carolyn Thomas and Harper Callison were elected to keep the band in spirits. A new expedition of treasure seekers entered Marlinton High this year, and it fell our lot to welcome them. We were zealous in protecting our hold upon this land and we did not want them to find our treasure, so we tried to dissuade them as best we could. Never¬ theless, they proved themselves brave enough to stay, so we received them into Freshman Land. This year, as we neared the farthest boundaries of Sophomore Land, we were much elated over beating the ether expeditions to the Tournament Cup, the fabulous treasure of our ardent search. Our joy was dampened when a strong and powerful warlord, Chief Yeager, told us that we could not keep this cup until we first proved ourselves worthy of it; we must defend our rights to this treasure through the jungle of knowledge in two more lands before we could keep this Treasure of All Treasures. In Junior Land, we trudged on one six-weeks at a time through many different courses. By now, Junior Long was weary of the responsibilities of leadership (along with football) and we elected an ex¬ perienced warrior, Clyde Buzzard, to lead the expedition. His lieutenant was Jimmy Moore, his Scribe was Sue Harper, and his tre asure-keeper was Dan Moore. This year for a little variety, we had some Gypsies entertain us with a play, “Hobgoblin House,” and later we had a very gala Fiesta to add to our treasure store. Chief Yeager once more presented us with the Tournament Cup for the brave showing which we had made in Junior Land. Another expedition ahead of us decided to abandon their explora¬ tion in Marlinton High for other countries, so we prepared a banquet in their honor before they left the land which we were beginning to hold as our beloved country. Just as our hopes of completing the journey were beginning to run low, we entered upon the last phase of our search, the Land of Seniors. Worn by the trials endured on our search, we began to take cn a more sober appearance, although we still had the same old foolishness and jollity underneath. (This fact was brought out when we ran across some pretty maids belonging to the savage tribe known as Faculty). Once more we chose a red headed athlete as our leader, Dan Moore, and for his assis¬ tant, Jim Moore. The Scribe was Harold Butcher and the Treasure-keeper was Junior Long. Our store of treasure has steadily increased, for we have been dilligent in our search. As we near the end of our journey, we are presented the Tournament Cup which becomes our permanent possession. We have prepared a record of our achievements in the form of a yearbook, so that future expeditions may know of our arduous search and accomplishments. Now that we have completed our expedition, we real¬ ize that there is treasure in this land of much higher value than that of the cup—the treasure of learn¬ ing, of character, and of friendship. As we leave the jungle of high school with all its exotic flowers of experience, we cast our eyes upon the Sea of th? Future, upon which we hope to sail in our ship, “The Learned,” to conquer new and greater lands.

I can see “Herbie” Ardell running the greatest super-market in the town of Marlinton. Yes, he has plenty of help. I can see Nancy Underwood as his caishier, pocketing all the “odd change.” Dale Curry is his experienced meat cutter, and what an experience! I can also see Gerald Gordon as editor of a newspaper in Marlinton—it’s the GORDON DAILY and he gives all the data on the ball games. I see Carolyn Thomas as superintendent of nurses and Harper Callison as head doctor at the Pocahontas Memorial Hospital. They seem to be performing an operation; I should have known—they are pickling Helen Sharp’s brain in alcohol. Above the microscopic bottle is a sign, “The Smallest Organism Known.” I can see Ann Yeager teaching home economics in M. H. S. What is that awful odor! No wonder the potatoes are burning, because “Davey” Gibson, who is teaching chemistry, has just walked into the kit¬ chen and everything else is forgotten. Mescal Morrison is happily married and giving lessons to high school girls on “How to acquire a loving man.” Jewell Hannah is proprietor of the Rexall Drug Store —she had plenty of experience. This cloud begins to turn and now I see Ezra Dean as supervisor of Watoga State Park—he is spon¬ soring a new program, training wild animals. Richard Beverage is directing the training of “dear.” I see Quentin Underwood running a night club, “The Mocombo of the Mountains,” at the entrance of Wa¬ toga. There’s Hale Alderman as the owner of a garage at Huntersville—he seems to have quite a busi¬ ness, and guess why? Roy Ware is his salesman; he always could talk! I can see Mary Underwood sit¬ ting at home waiting for a call to be a stenographer. This cloud rolls by and another takes its place. There are Robert and Eugene Galford, owners of the biggest fish pond in the state located on Williams River. As the cloud dims a little I see Johnny Gibson and Charles Showalter as the greatest evangelists of their day—I always knew those boys were going to be fine citizens. Shirley Sage is quietly sitting at home, (with her hair rolled up), reading a book, just waiting for some man to propose. Eugene Pescosolido is still working on the R. R. (Right Road, that is) trying to reach his goal. Robert Dumire is in business giving lessons on “Your First Job” —the first one he had didn’t work, so he was never able to get another one. Gordon Rickett is Lassie’s stand-in in the moves—barking, of course. This cloud has now parted to reveal Grace Gay, Wanda Clark, Bonnie Carpenter, and Gilda Gay playing basketball. The name of their team is “G. W. C. G.” (Gee, What Cute Girls). Floyd Davis is driving the bus which takes the girls from place to place, and Jimmie Mann is their general manager. The clouds are again rolling furiously and I see “Red” Long carrying the “pigskin” for the Coast Guard. We always knew that he was going places. I can also see Marvin Galford designing clothes in New York—the latest fashion is knee pants for men. Imagine that! Undoubtedly that is Herb Mace riding that motorcycle around the wall at the World’s Fair. Betty Bright’s latest invention is on dis¬ play at the World’s Fair, and Robert Pyle’s famous paintings are creating quite a stir. Lucy Rose and Don VanReenan have a show of their own—the “World’s Greatest and Smallest People.” I see Eddie Lightner pitching for the Brooklyn Dodgers while Dan Moore is batting for the St. Louis Cardinals both undefeated teams up to date. I can see Ernestine Cutlip squawking her head off for the Dodgers. As the clouds break up again, I see Mary Alyce Beard as the greatest music instructor of the day at W. V. U. I just know that her secretary is Sue Harper, now that she is such a success. Yes, there is Jim Moore coaching the W. V. U. team, and Clyde Buzzard is, most assuredly, their busy manager. Joyce Thomas is instructing in the commercial subjects at the university. It seems strange that so many classmates are together. Turning my gaze a little, I see Virginia Liptrap as owner of the “Rat Shop,” a restaurant at El¬ kins, and Mayonna Astin is there as a waitress. Now the clouds are changing and I see Wade Sharp down on a plantation in Virginia raising tobacco. He’s always sure now of having a cigarette. I keep gazing and see Barbara Burns at the police station trying to find Raymond Junior. He’s lost! It ap¬ pears that Harold Butcher and Edwin Pennybacker have gone West to herd cattle and wait for the next discovery of gold. I can see Wilma Galford married and living on a ranch in California. Styrl Hively has taken a new position—Secretary of Defense. Everything is growing black; it must be the effects of the brainstorm I just had, so I had better direct my gaze on new things before I lose my vision.

Charlotte is nick¬ named “Charlie,” hence the mistake. Larry is engaged to a spoiled and scheming society girl, Vivian Smythe-Kersey, and is further dominated by her disagreeable,’ arrogant aunt, Mrs. Farmham. Charlie arrives from Arkansas accompanied by Uncle Allsck Twiggs. This is a play with riotous laughter all the way through and ends with a surprising element.

REYNOLDS Three Girls and Jeffrey Presented by THE SENIOR CLASS December 20, 1949 Jeffrey Dunsmore, a personable young bachelor, has inherited millions from the estate of his ec¬ centric sister, but cn condition that he continue all her philanthropies. This seems reasonable enough until he learns that her Mexican lawyers are to administer this part of the estate, and they refuse to divulge any information concerning her many interests. But Jeffrey has not long to wait, for three girls from an elite boarding school, Greystone, arrive and announce that they have com� to spend the summer with “Uncle Jeff,” because they are now his wards. Jeffrey’s fiancee arrives and resents the presence of the girls, but consents to chaperone them. The girls size her up as a fortune hunter, and proceed with plans to expose her and have Jeffrey fall in love with Miss Pomeroy, their beloved teacher Their inventive genius is so sharp that Jeffrey thinks he is going mad and having hallucinations for he sees six girls instead of there, and wounded aviators wandering about the place Finally the ’girls prove their point about his fiancee, and they decide that they will have to accompany Jeffrey and Miss Pomeroy on their honeymoon to keep them from misfortune.
