During the first days or weeks of the coming June, 70,000 or more boys and girls will graduate from the Virginia high schools. The editor likewise ventures to put words into the mouths of this magnificent array of youth. and prays that every boy and girl, as they receive a diploma, may subscribe deep down in their hearts to every word of this creed. We, the members of the Senior Class, have been a real part of this institution. We have been sheltered by its brick and mortar, we have profited by its equipment, we have felt the throb of the subject matter in its course of study. The ultimate essence of this institution has gone deep into our souls. We have spent four years at this school-four good years. What have the experiences of these years meant to us? l. Our intellectual horizon has been broadened. We have learned to use books, to use ideals and facts, and to think more clearly, and to extend our thinking into new and larger fields of human interests. We have learned to know that this is only half of life, that the other half is loving these things and assigning values to our experiences. 2. Our interest in mankind in general has taken a broader sweep. We feel that we are a part of the great world of humanity. We know that our lives must grow and move in personal contact with our fellows, that this constitutes one of the supreme factors in human life, and that our appreciation of, and interest in, these things will grow in intensity with the coming years. 3. Our respect for truth has increased a hundredfold. We have learned the art of finding truth in nature and in humanity. We have learned that there is such a thing as intellectual honesty, that growth is the finest thing in all the world, that our ability to serve measures the progress of our intellectual and spiritual growth. 4. We have learned the nature and function of human feelings. We know what is high or low, what is fine, and good, and beautiful, and true in human life. We know that nothing so ennobles the spirit in us, so purifies the springs of life, as love. We know that God is the embodiment of supreme beauty in nature and in human character, that life is a continual striving for the radiance of this presence, and that There are sermons in stones, Books in running brooks, And good in everything. We know that work is the basal element in all lasting happiness, that with honest work comes love and the highest joy. Our ideals have been lifted to loftier heights. We know that this is a sign of growth and a signboard along our pathway. We promise here and now to maintain the highest standards of life and work and to carry them into the world of service, and they shall be a part of our success and the means by which we shall learn the high art of living richly and well. +5f10li+ 1930 f, 17 ea f ip.. ,Qf -1 ,. .. fr' U :in .3 xx v V14 -.PT mf 1 -V rr, - 3, - , 1 if af sw nf: ' J' ., 1 .g,. ,1 'k .!u!,6 J' jp ,X ,VL .-2. e'N -4 if B, 1, .. t- .Q ' f 1219+ RUTH ATKINS fManagvr Girls' Basket Ball Tram, 1929-301 If you're wise 'tBeware of Ruth and her wiles.

Her early morning walks have given them the bloom of youth. Her beauty of face and soul is reflected also in her manners and actions. -'Cl 19 P31- l i r 34 1930 rl EJ it O - so 'l i ei' ilk-?'i'fTE,iFee sei O To it wff'Z?3t g.4:...-:: 5....r ..

Have you forgotten us of old M. H. S.? just now examinations are over and we of the Senior Class are much occupied with class activities. The question of the day is Annual, or no Annual. If Annual, from whence comes the money? If no Annual, how get before the public the unknown Adonises and Venuses of the Class of 1930? Some of the members having suffered from the recent market crash, are wary of assuming uncertain bills. But the gamblers in futures, by force of habit, are willing to take a chance, feeling sure, should their pockets prove bare, Mr. Carter will save the day by paying the bill. The most altruistic of the Class are willing to deny themselves even lunches that they may be able to bestow upon the public an Annual, adorned and honored by their handsome faces, but another faction, principally girls, feel they can spend their money, in a way more beneficial and worthy, in permanent waves and flounce-bedecked skirts. Another question that causes strife is the, Who is Who and where Who is to be, be pictured. The blonds want hand-tinted picturesg the brunettes, sepias. Isabel, Hazel, Jeanette, Marga and Nina will not advance a penny until assured that their pictures speak loudly of their Anita-Loosized charms. Eva, Evelyn, Sue, Ruth, Helen, Mary, Charlotte and Emma, realizing that while gentlemen prefer blonds, they marry brunettes, insist that their raven locks, cherrylike lips and rosy cheeks be well depicted, regardless of expense or trouble. The business staff insists that the coloring matter necessary to do justice to their cheeks and lips will bankrupt the corporation, thus troubles come fast, and thick. Edgar Hodnett and Irvin Minter, with malelike modesty, are having a heated argument as to who will occupy the page marked Class Beauty. Edgar claims his eyes make him the more eligible, but Irvin insists that curls are not to be sneezed at. We voted that the page for Maidens All Demure be divided between Helen and Ruth, but now Helen claims the top half. We just can't please anybody. A special page was reserved for class celebrities of whom the following have been elected: Mary, Om' Little Pride: Hazel, Om' High-Florwz Liimctg Sue, Our Lea-der E.l'fl'U0l'fl1iI1C11'j',' Charlotte, Our Artist of the Farcile Brush, Edmund, The Cuteg Lawson, The Super Sheik: Smithson, The Beau Ideal. The Class feels that there should. be several pictures of Cressy, that he may be well remembered 3 Cressy, The Class Presidentg Cressy, The Athleteg Cressy, The Modest, Cressy, The Sheik. On the other hand, if no Annual-no pictures-blighted hopes--broken hearts. +322 113' is VJ' ee A ,.,,,,,,,,,,f1 9 3 0 s .wi flew- K jf w-s,X,.,E,.1. 1 ries ns --1...,,.. .. ... V -.-Q-.- . F.-- .

Pictures mean pages and pages mean money, and so the business staff had to call for page curtailment, but Charles Hurd, in a touching address to the Class, offers to sacrihce his final semester, take a job, and turn over his whole salary to the Annual Staff rather than lose the chance of having his picture, as Chief Promoter, on the front page. Smithson, Walter and Edmund arose and contested with him the privilege of laboring with their hands rather than their heads for the glory of old M. H. S. and the expense of the REE. The clamoring became so loud that the meeting had to adjourn. Poor little Sue, Evelyn and Mary became so nervous under the heated dis- cord that they begged, since music hath charms to soothe the savage breast, that Charles, Edmund and Walter insure peace and harmony at the next meeting of the Class by the magic of their horns and riddles. The Class assembles next under the soothing strains of Behold the Conquer- ing Hero Comes. All is lovely and sweet peace prevails-for a few minutes. The girls wanted Charles Hurd, the Go-Getter of Voluminous Ads from generous, kind merchants, to have a full-sized picture on several pages, but the heaping of such delectable honors upon one so prone to self-effacement as Charles proved more than modest Theodore could brook. He timidly addressed the Chair and proffered the half of his father's wealth to assure the publishing of the H1212 without such sacrifice on noble Charles' part, provided, of course. his life-sized hand-painted photograph be allotted a double page and entitled, The Rescuer from Financial Ruin, in other words, The Rockfeller of M. H. S. It was moved and seconded that Theodore's offer be accepted and again peace reigns-completion hovers near. Mary Gatewood suggested that picture space be allotted according to class standing, a page for every leading grade. There being so many 95 pluses among the girls, a free for all contest got under way. but Charles Reed took the Hoor to explain to the Class that honor to whom honor is due had allotted so many pages to the gentlemen of the Class and that the girls. to do themselves justice, would have to get out an extra edition, of which he kindly offered to be manager, if he were assured numerous Hattering full-page pictures as Ex-Class President, Football Manager, Yiolinist Extraordinary, Conversationalist le'lenipotcntiary. All proceedings have been carefully embodied in the minutes which, if Mr. Carter approves, will be carried out in full, so everybody will be pleased and get his 1noney's worth. I know you will want to have an Annual, so I have given your name as a prospective buyer-the price, 32.00, is, of course, a mere trifle to you, a teacher, and so possibly you will order a half dozen as souvenirs. Possibly you remember so well the quiet, harmonious, peace-loving, sweet- dispositioned juniors of '29, that you'll not 'need souvenirs of us. We, of course, will always remember you most lovingly-doubly lovingly, if you order six Annuals at once!

DEAR MARGARET: Yesterday, while I was in French Class, I heard bells ringing and saw smoke Hoating by the windows, and as everyone seemed to be hurrying out of the building. I grabbed my coat and started running out, too, because I thought the school was on fire, but when I reached the door I found it was only the Faculty celebrating with a bonfire the examination grades of some of the Seniors. As I am sure you are interested in the old class I will copy a few grades from the bulletin board: Cressy Morgan-.X plus on charm and smile. Nina Burgess-A plus on golden locks. Isabel Thomasson and Eva VVarren-honorable mention for social success and steady suitors. Smithson Morris and IfValter Pharis-60 to lOO on Caesar, passed with pleasure fespecially to Miss Roykinsj. Mary Gatewood and Helen Heath-A plus on dependability and habits of study. Edwin Pickup and Lucy Davis-A plus on quiet ways and solemn looks. Jessie Merricks-A plus on baby ways. Theodore Berlin-led with 99 on style and effect of hairdressing. Lawson Lester-passed with honor as class sheik. Ruth Atkins, Sue Yeaman and Hazel Wfells-A plus on popularity and sweet voices. Thurley Thornton and Charlotte Larrabee-passed with honor on coy ways and sweet voices. Emma Pearman, Doris Caldwell and Jeanette VVoody-A plus on sweet manners and earnest work. Evelyn Smith, Edna Roberson and Marga Thomas-A plus on sweet voices and curly hair. I Won't copy any more because I guess you are tired of all this. Write soon and tell me all the news.

M D1-:AREST Mtss Moose: Last night I attended the theater, and whom should I hear but Sue Yeaman, America's I greatest prima donna. I was shocked to find that Lawson Lester and Walter Pharis were ushers. i On returning home, I read of your ten-year absence abroad. I wonder of you would not like 1 to hear of the accomplishments of some of the 'other members of our class? 1 Eva Warren, Isabel Thomasson and Helen Heath are the only Seniors who are married. q Eva, Mrs. Prince Reynolds, and Isabel, Mrs. Coy Meadows, are living happily in the pros- i perous City of Fieldale. Being partners in the poultry business, they raise the best Rhode 5 Island, Leghorn and Plymouth Rock hens in the world and make sufficient profits to furnish their spouses the latest sport model cars and most adorable fur coats. Helen threw away her romantic career and, married Mr. Bente. He said he took her for better or'worse, with his heart .stirred by the anticipated taste of the best of pies. As Helen's pies proved to be the superlative of worse, he is now sueing for divorce, after getting which, he will return to his own yankeedom and seek a maid less coy, but more capable in the kitchen. Helen, I understand, is writing a book, How to be Happy Though Married. 1 I know you will rejoice to hear of the achievements of Charles Reed and Cressy Morgan. Charles, the greatest violinist in the world, has been unanimously elected president of the Martinsville Glee Club. Cressy has become a member of the House of Representative Curly- Haired Men. He often delivers, on our town square, fiery orations on The Far-Reaching I Influence of a Wavy Pompadour, and offers for sale a wonderful preparation of his own make, 2 guaranteed to make waves as lovely as his own. I Edmund Pickup is principal of the Fieldale High School, from whose course of study he has cut out Mathematics, English and Sociology, and Thurley Thornton, as one of his assistants, teaches dancing, coquetry, lip-painting and other arts dear to the young ladies of her classes. Believe it or not, Doris Cardwell is running two pages in the Henry Bulletin, giving advice to the lovelorn. Her replies often fill several pages of our valued paper, whose subscriptions have more than doubled since she took her place on the staff. Jeanette Woody, Nina Burgess and Evelyn Smith, being a wee bit concerned over the accumulation of years and lessening dates, are continually seeking her advice. About seven years ago Mr. Carter inherited two million dollars from his Scotch-Irish uncle, Sandy McShangonassy, with part of his inheritance he pays for the publishing of the Annual, and for a scholarship given each year to the pupil living up to his motto, 'Tis better ' to be good than to be smart. As a friend of mine is waiting for me to go with her to see Ruth Atkins, Charlotte Larrabee, Charles Hurd and Irvin Minter in the latest movie, Love, Honor and Obey, I will tell you about the rest of the Seniors in my next letter. Yours sincerely, Mnuzv Gixrswoon. ' 'Gi 25 E' L-- f f W ,g': T :.-Zg, -gif '-I 1' , 1 9 3 ow 2 - . --------i--f 6 - I , 1549 Y 'li fs. The Court BAILIFF: Hear ye! Hear ye! The court is now open. Yea, open for business, says Lucy Davis, half asleep. BAILIFF: The Judge, the Honorable Smithson Morris will soon arrive-ladies, now ladies, you must be quiet. JEANETTE Woonv: Oh, he is so handsome. BAILIEF: Sh, lady, please keep quiet, the Judge knows he is handsome. The Judge enters and takes his seat upon the high chair, or rather sits upon his bench, and takes a swallow of -. Now, lady, you must keep quiet. If you say anything like that again you may give every- one a had impression of the Judge, says the Bailiff to Eva Warren. Uudge takes a swallow of water and calls the court to order.J JUDGE: We shall now introduce to you the jury, Miss Edna Roberson, Miss Evelyn Smith, Miss Emma Pearman. Miss Polly Sylvester. Miss Nina Burgess, Miss Hazel Wells, and one man, poor old soul, Mr. Edmund Pickup. Think of it, one man among all these women. Oh, uh, please pardon me: I'm getting off the subject. BAILIFF: The hrst case is case number one. This is the case of Mr. Charles Hurd, who is accused of playing the saxophone at all hours of the night. fThe Prosecuting Attorney, Mr. Edgar Hodnett, arises and looks at the Defending Attorney, who is Mr. Irvin Minter.J JUDGE: Mr. Hurd, will you please take the stand P MINTER: Now, Mr. Hurd, don't forget to put the stand back when you Finish with it. HOIlNET1'Z Mr. Hurd, is it true you play the saxophone all night P HURD: No, sir, I play the clarinet, drums, piano and the radio. HoDNET'r: Can you play, Singing in the Rain? MINTER: I object. I don't like that song. JUDGE: Neither do I. it is terrible. HODNETT: That will be all, Mr. Hurd. JUDGE: Mr. Hurd, are you sure that your saxophone is a good one? HURD! Yes, sir. JUDGE: Well, then, your case is dismissed. JUDGE: BailitT Pharis, call the next case. BAILIFF: The next case is the most important of the day. It is the case of State 'z's. Cressy Morgan. The State charges that Cressy's hair is a nuisance to the public and wishes to have him dye it black. JUDGE: Prosecuting Attorney, begin the case. HoDNE'r'r: The first witness for the State is Mr. Lawson Lester. Mr. Lester, please take the stand. fMr. Lester, after almost falling over the policeman's feet. takes the stand.J HODNPITTZ 'lMr. Lester, give us your opinion of Mr. Morgan's hair. LESTER: I think that Mr. Morgan's hair ought to stick straight up like mine, but who ever heard of a blond porcupine? Therefore, I think that Mr. Morgan's hair should be dyed black, so that his hair would look like a black porcupine instead of a blond one. HODNETTZ Mr. Lester, may I ask why do you always grin ? LESTER: I always grin because I don't laugh. HODNETT: That will be all. Mr. Lester. CMr. Lester goes back to his seat after telling the Judge about Wodley's book of Englishj HODNETT: The next witness for the State is Miss Isabel Thomasson. CMiss Thomasson takes the stand.J HODNETT: Miss Thomasson, what do you think of Mr. Morgan's hair P Miss TuoMAssoN: I think that his hair should be dyed black to keep it from showing on other people's coats. fThe court laughs and Isabel blushes.D But I am not thinking of myself. I think that his hair should be dyed because at night it causes unnecessary light on the street. HODNETT: That will be all, Miss Thomasson. CMiss Thomasson takes her seat beside Eva Warrenj EVA: How did it feel to sit on the witness stand P ISABEL: It felt like sitting anywhere else, my dear. HCXDNETTI The next witness for the State is Miss Mary Gatewood. Miss Gatewood, will you please take the stand ? GATEwooD: I think that Mr. Morgan's hair should be dyed black because it would not interfere with his lessons. By this, I mean that whenever he goes to study his hair will not -'El 26 JEN- 1930 'Z.Q41i 'N' ' 'W' f 'III WV V-I-V Y-M A W, HW -aifffj I ,f r 11. I: I I I I I I I I I l I I I I . I I I I I I I cause him to forget his lessons and think about how to keep his hair from losing its wave, or how to preserve its color. He could also spend more time on his lessons by staying away from the beauty parlor. HoDNE'r'r: That will be all, Miss Gatewood. Your honor, the State shall now rest. JUDGE! All right. We shall hear the defense's side of the story. MINTER: Your honor, our first witness is Miss Ruth Atkins. Miss Ruth Atkins, please take the stand. Now tell us your version of Mr. Morgan's hair. MIss ATKINS: I think that Mr. Morgan's hair is luxurious, divine and glorious. How could anyone tell I went out with him if he didn't find Mr. Morgan's hair on my coat? I think that his hair is beautiful. It is so wavy that every time I look at it I get dizzy. Why, that is the reason I fell for him. MINTER: That will be all, Miss Atkins. Your honor, our next witness will be Miss Helen Heath. Will you please take the stand, Miss Heath? Now tell us your opinion of Mr. M0rgan's hair. Miss HEATH! Your honor, I think Mr. Morgan's hair is be-oo-ti-ful. You know, sir, that women prefer blonds but marry brunettes, and I think if there were fewer brunettes and more nice, curly-haired blonds the ladies would be better satisfied. Think of Mr. Morgan with black hair: my, oh, my, what a loss his hair would be to us. Your honor, if you were a girl wouldn't you consider yourself honored to have a blond-haired husband awake you in the morning and ask you to bring him his clothes and give you one sweet kiss with his lzafrf Uh-oh, I mean his lips. MINTER: That will be all. Miss Heath. Our next witness is Mr. Charles Reed. Mr. Reed. will you please take the stand? Now tell us your opinion of Mr. Morgan's hair. REED: Your honor, I think that Mr. Morgan's hair is the guiding light of our team. When we see that blond head under the basket ball goal we know that our team has scored- maybe. Look at me, I have blond hair, but without curls, so I am utterly left out. MINTER: That will be all, Mr. Reed. Your honor, this finishes the defense's side of the case. I have summed up the main reasons for not dying Mr. Morgan's hair black: l. It is a benefit to the girls in several ways. 2. It is a benefit to athletics. 3. It is a benefit to the public at night. HODNETT! Your honor, the State gives a summary of the nuisances of Mr. Morgan's hair: 1. It interferes with his lessons. 2. It isn't possible to make his hair look like a porcupine. 3. It is a nuisance to dark suits. JUDGE: The jury will please retire. EVA WARREN: I bet Mr. Pickup had better watch out while all those women are around. LUCY 'DAvIs: Don't worry, the women won't bother him. CTwo hours pass before the jury announces that it has reached a decision.

Now, Mr. Morgan, you have heard the verdict and you are excused.

PAUL HAYNES A.r.vi.rtant. ...... Roscoe NUNN ,....l...l..l Music in Public Schools A few years ago the pur- pose of the school was to give one a practical education. Up until the present generation, no thought was given to the teaching of music in the school and, as a result, the renning influence which music gives has been noticeably ab- sent. To-day the schools have begun to realize that the spiritual side of the pupils' education has been neglected. Various schools have put in music courses, and these courses have brought higher ideals to the schools and, in many instances, have provided a foundation for the life work of different pupils. 1.0.7. Martinsville High School Has a Commercial Course The Board of Directors of Martinsville High School has just placed a course of book- keeping, shorthand and type- writing in the school.

U rx? T y 1930 History Pri' wg THE beginning of the football season about thirty 1 Z boys answered the call for practice. Among these were 157 i eleven letter men and several from last year's squad. With this nucleus, Coach llente set about to develop a winning team for the l929-1930 season, Although losing the tirst game of the season, the team, under the leadership of Captain Wray, came back strong to make a creditable showing for the rest of the season. llesides being one of the best teams Martins- ville lligh School has ever turned out, it was also one of the lightest. As there will be only three members of the squad lost by graduation, we are expecting the team of 1930-1931 to be the best that the high school has ever had to represent it. After the football season, the basket ball teams started daily practice. The girls' team. having an abundance of last year's regulars and reserve players, has, under the leadership of Captain Yeaman, turned in an impressive record. The boys' team, unfortunate in losing several of last year's regulars, had a mediocre season, but with the experience and knowledge gained on the court this year, the team shows great promise for future vears.

Ins I Y Eve SS M A Peep into a Home Economies Class NCR UPON a time a little girl went prying, by devious ways, through V a big, labyrinthian building into which a kind fate led her. Reading on a door, Knock before Entering, she decided to peek before knock- ing. There being a big, inviting keyhole, she, being naughty, yielded to the temptation to look and listen-bad, bad' little girl. This is the tale she told to me, her chum, of what she saw and heard. At one side of the room was a desk sitting rather apart from the others. At this desk sat a young but serious teacher, whose professorial glasses, flat-heel shoes and positive words struck awe into her heart and made her glad she was on the outside looking in. Two girls, whose names seemed to be Roduskia and Helene, were contending about the use of a machine. Let me sew, said one. No, I want this machine, said the other. lt's not yours, it belongs to the Home Economics Class. Now she knew upon what she was spying-the Home Economics Class of Martinsville High. A shift of position brings into view a dignified young sewer whose nimble fingers and dainty stitches had drawn to her many spectators who clamored, Please, Lena, let me see, please show me how you do it. But Lena's dignity remained unruftled and her stitches went on apace. Another shift and new sights and sounds. A big, bouncing girl nimbly mounts what appeared to be the dunce's stool. VVhat had she done to be so punished? llut someone calls in friendly tones, XVait, Evelyn, 1'm coming, and up hastens, with needle and thread and a business air, one called Ruth Davis, She proceeded to turn and sew the bottom edge of Evelyn's dress, She soon exclaimed, The hem is all finished, and a beautiful, stylish hem it was-of many varying widths, some places wide, some narrow, with a drag-down front and a hiked-up back. just the reverse of the proper style. just then a tinkling sound and a stern, Get up your scraps and place your chairs, from that professorial teacher, made her linger, looking and listening too long. The door suddenly opened, and into the room rolled the naughty spy, greeted by, Wl1y, little Mary Cornelia Holt, where did you come from and why are you here ? Hut Mary Cornelia, for once in her life, was dumb, but she was wise-too wise as to the ways and means of Home Economics T. -MARY CoRNEI.I.-x HOLT. 424 68 iff- 1930 9 30 HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA onducior do. C ata C Rosario SSOI' Profe E E The Orchestra HE Martinsville High School Orchestra, under the direc- tion of Prefessor Rosario Cataldo, has now become one of the leading high school orchestras in the State of Virginia. It is composed of twenty-three pupils from the high school and central grade school and has made wonderful progress during the school year of 1929-1930. The orchestra has become a factor in all high school activities and aids greatly in our entertainments and at chapel exercises. lt is the policy of the school to encourage music in all of its phases and to encourage as many pupils taking instrumental music as possible. Professor Cataldo came to us last year, having been leader of some of the best orchestras in the State and also a band leader in the United States Navy for thirty years. Martinsville High School was indeed fortunate in securing his services and the school appreciates the work he is doing. It is the hope of the school that in the future there may be built up a strong musical organization of chorus, band and orchestra work in the school. Many of our pupils have been taking advantage of the opportunity of the piano and violin studio conducted in the central grade school, by Misses Annette Fuller and Elizabeth Davis. These teachers of music have done much for the advancement of musical interests in Martinsville. Miss Fuller having been teacher for many of our pupils and others who have gone out and succeeded in the musical world. +Sl70l9' 1930 JCDKES 11l NR.
