Even the girls of our Class are enthusiastic members of the various basket-ball teams. As we contemplate the labors of the past, our hearts are filled with a pride which modesty forbids us to express., Many of our friends deplore our pale cheeks and serious manner, forgetting that in our minds all else is as nought com- pared with knowledge. They should remember that we are Seniors now, and, being aware of the full meaning of that term, we feel it our duty to act in accord- ance with our dignified position. Wle would not recall the past, however full of pleasure. Wfe have fought a good iight and are now willing to be judged by the deeds we have done while here. Seventeen of us-brave spirits-have stood the tests of time and teachers. Wfe are now proud Seniors and will be graduates by the time this comes to you. HARRY XV. J.-xCKsoN,, JR.

History of the Class of IQO5 O the historian of the Class of 1905 has been given the honor of recording the wonderful achievements of the largest and, with all due respect to our predecessors, the most brilliant graduating class that has gone out from the Miller Manual Labor School, of Albemarle County. I am sure that all who have the privilege of knowing this exceptional class will agree that a more intel- ligent, ambitious and worthy body of young men and women can not be easily found. Unlike Byron, however, we did not wake to find ourselves famous, through difficulties we have achieved the success and greatness we now enjoy. From the hills and valleys of Albemarle we have come, bringing with us mem- ories of happy childhood days, and a determination to prepare ourselves for life by acquiring a well-ro-unded education-that education which trains both the mind and the hand. We are regarded by a certain set as very 4' freshf, However unimportant that detail may be, we have succeeded in gaining, through a series of tests and examinations too numerous to mention, an eminence from which envied height we view the struggles and downfalls of the past with proud and reconciled eye. In reaching this eminence, with all that K' fresh courage ascribed to us, we are convinced that never a Hannibal, about whose wonderful marches we have been reading for pastime and pleasure, crossed barriers more difficult, with steeper ascents, or more precipitous declivities. In the classroom, though we admit that no student's health has been seriously injured by long and constant study, yet our record is not bad. The fields of Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Botany, Languages and Literature have all received some attention from our brains. No doubt the Faculty will hand down our essays on deep and profound subjects to our successors as models. To be a scholar is something to be proud of, and the athlete is not without his glory. Gui' Class has contributed largely to that reputation, which our school has acquired in athletics, for bravery, loyalty, and that indefinable something called rr li , , . nerve. To our Class belong Andrews, Childress and VVh1te, who made the football team of IQO4, while the majority of the remaining seven bovs did the hgnorable lthing-gave the regular team practice by playing on the scrubs H ot ier ff' i H ' 3 uise znown as the Buckshots. We also promise to contribute our share in baseball, for among our number we have jones, whg pitched ten Oqmeg last bC s 58
