SHANKR THE SENIOR CLASS Presents aie HCHO IQ40 é jor EW, In this we have striven to present as our theme the historical points of interest in our community. Thus we have linked our interesting past with our ever progressive present. THE EcHo greets the members of the senior class and wishes for them success in the future, reminding them that upon the achievements of the past are built the successes of the future. Lutication-. Not because she is one of the outstanding members of the faculty, or because she has always taken a keen interest in the activities of our school, although these traits have endeared us to her, but because she has proved herself to be one of the students’ best friends, we, the senior class of ’40, dedicate, with respect and admiraticn, this volume of TH e EcHo to FOR ARIODES DALLAGIL FACULTY Miss Virginia Ruff, Mr. H. D. McKee, Principal, Mrs. H. D. McKee, Mr. R. H. Ballagh. Mrs. E. M. Delaney, Mrs. Carl Dooley, Mrs. Guy Garrett, Miss Jeanette Ander- son, Miss Helen Luck. Mrs. Robert Ellis, Miss Erna English, Miss Jessie Dunkum, Miss Mary Frances Parsons, Mrs. R. H. Ballagh. Miss Lucy Massie, Mrs. H. M. Goode. OLD BLOCKHOUSE One of the chief points of historical interest in the community is the Blockhouse used for pro- tection against the Indians. The Fort stood near the place where Colonial Fort Kitchen stands today. Mrs. William Ingles took refuge in this Blockhouse after a thrilling escape from cap- tivity among the Indians in the spring of 1756. SENIORS RacHELE BOWYER JUNIoR BREEDLOVE DorotHy BURNETTE DUANE CLINGEMPEEL DoroTHY COFER CONSTANCE CONRAD VERA CREASY LEON DooLeEy MarGARET DOOLEY Exvuis Harris ALVA FOSTER Doris FOSTER ETHEL FOSTER RawLincs HoOLDREN NELSON HOLDREN ELNoRA JOHNSON Wyona JOHNSON WILLIAM JOHNSON RACHELE BOWYER We are always glad to have you around, For you always smile and you never frown. You are studious and capable, too, Sincere and successful in all you do. JUNIOR BREEDLOVE Junior is one of our quietest students. His neat appearance and good humor make him outstand- ing. Behind his quietness he has an agreeable sense of humor. DOROTHY BURNETTE Dot is clever, sweet, sincere, full of fun, and has a grand sense of humor. When you know her, you'll believe, “best things come in small packages.” DUANE CLINGEMPEEL Duane (or “Roxy,” as he is better known) has a very likable personality, dresses neatly and gets along well with whomever he comes in contact. “Roxy” is our Latin shark, and among other things, he hopes to become a surgeon. DOROTHY COFER Dot, outstanding as one of the Senior’s animated blondes, is both popular and pleasant to know. Ske has displayed ability in dramatics and in working on our year book. CONSTANCE CONRAD She has pleasing ways and is quite attractive. She is also very artistic. Constance is a person who is liked by all. VERAy CREASEY Vera has taken an active part in athletics. She is quite attractive and a friend to everyone. She is full of life and a good sport in all of her undertakings. LEON DOOLEY “The most wasted of all days are those on which he has not laughed.” Leon is one of the few who can take a joke as well as give one. He is active in school activities, especially in athletics. He has won a place in the hearts of all of us that can’t be replaced by anyone. We hope for him the best that life can offer. MARGARET DOOLEY Some people find Margaret to be reserved and dignified, but her friends find that she is also mischievous, friendly and vivacious. To everyone her sincerity and her love of life is apparent. We are sure these qualities spell success for her wherever she goes. ALVA FOSTER Alva is a friend that is easily gained and hard to lose. She is a likable kind of person and full of pep. She is one of our main girl athletes. DORIS FOSTER Always ready to swing at a baseball and acci- dently hitting it once in a while is Doris. Her pleasant personality has won her many friends and will help her when she is no longer in school. eee OS TER With sparkling blue eyes and glossy hair, She and a black haired boy make a good pair, But basketball and baseball she loves to play, Better than anything a boy can say. She is kind and friendly to everyone, And is always joking and full of fun. ELLIS HARRIS Ellis, quiet and gentle, yet has a taking way with the girls. He is also given much to study and reading. NELSON HOLDREN Nelson is a very quiet person, however his readi- ness to help others and his good disposition have made him a general favorite. He is a good sport in all that he engages in. RAWLINGS HOLDREN “He looks like he just stepped out of a band- box,” can be truly said of Rawlings. Cooperative, and neat in dress, friendly and genial, he has been a general favorite in the class of °40. ELNORA JOHNSON Elnora is sweet and true, And she never seems sad or even blue. She is modest, smart and kind to all, A lot of personality in a package small. WILLIAM JOHNSON Where ever you see a group of girls you will find Bill. He is the outstanding flirt at M. H. S. Bill is also a good sport and has a good sense of humor. WYONA JOHNSON Wyona is an alert student, willing to cooperate and always dependable. She is capable and thor- ough in all that she undertakes.

Always smiling and full of fun, A girl that is liked by everyone. LORRAINE LANCASTER She is a nice friend and lots of fun, A willing helper to everyone. A real good sport and a pal to us all, We’re sure Montvale will miss her next fall. MARVIN LEFTWICH Marvin’s liveliness and love of fun have gained for him the title of “most mischievous” of the Seniors. He is happiest when teasing someone or when talking to the girls: a few girls, many girls, or just any girls. PAULESEUGK The Senior Class wouldn’t have been complete without Paul’s earnestness and hard work to lend it much needed dignity. We're wondering what certain fair creature will do without him next year. JOSEPHINE McGUIRE Full of life and ready to go, “Jo” is a good sport and has a pleasing personality. Her favorite sport is baseball. She will be missed by all of her friends after this year. CAULIE ORANGE Caulie is one of our favorite pupils because he always breaks up the seriousness of the class by some crazy remark. He is a very dependable person. BEATRICE OVERSTREET Bea is attractive, friendly, and likable, always willing to help anyone she can. She plans to be a trained nurse and we wish her every success. MIRTA OVERSTREET Mirta, one of our sweetest Senior girls, is a gen- eral favorite. Her favorite recreations are danc- ing and parties. CLARENCE PATTISON “Corky” came to us, a sophomore, from Maury High in Norfolk. He is attractive, neat in dress and very polite. He is interested in athletics and has talent for art. “Corky” hopes to become an Aeronautical Engineer. ALLEN POLLARD The thing that impresses one about Allen is that he is always willing to help others. He is honest, dependable, courteous and cooperative. He is a truly worthwhile, trustworthy person. MYRTLE RICHARDS Myrtle is sweet, serious and studious. She is con- scientious and always does her best. She is very artistic and you will find her at the head of the class. Myrtle is also a good sport and has a friendly manner. EUAZE le SECRES U Hazel is one of our small statured seniors who is good-natured, has a quiet disposition and al- ways finds time to have fun. NORMA SMITH She has pretty brown eyes and blond hair, And she is a good friend everywhere. She’s studious, capable and neat; She’s every one’s pal and very sweet. EUGENE SPENCER “Not that I don’t like work, just that ’'m not in sympathy with it.” Gene believes in getting fun out of life. Al- though his energy is not always exhibited in his school work, it is in those things which interest him most. He has a pleasing personality and is liked by those with whom he comes in contact. ROSIE TATE Rosie is known as the quiet retiring girl. She has many friends at Montvale and gets along well with everyone. She likes to cook, sew, and en- tertain socially, IRENE WILLS Irene came to Montvale High from Thaxton. She is known to be a fun loving, mischievous girl. Her favorite sports are pleasure trips and baseball. DORIS NEWTON Doris just came to us this year, but she has gained many friends and takes an active part in all of school life. CLASS CALENDAR We entered school on September the tenth, 1936; a class of forty-six pupils. It was during this springtime of our school life that we received our first seeds of knowledge and felt the first touches of cultivation. We elected for our class officers: President, Beatrice Overstreet; Vice-President, Glenn Knighton; Secretary and Treasurer, Rachel Obenchain. We felt the new life in our blood, and we did not realize any more than did the Freshmen of 1940 how green we really were. SOPHOMORE As the sun shone down warm and Spring became Summer, we accumulated an abundance of green foliage; then the tiny buds began to open. The effect of our teachers during our Freshman year was showing. This year our President was one who joined us during the latter part of our Fresh- man year, Elnora Johnson. Our Vice-President was Beatrice Overstreet; Secretary and Treasurer, Alva Foster. At the beginning of our Sophomore year, we had lost ten of our comrades, leaving a total of thirty-six. Mrs. Ellis was our sponsor this year. JUNIOR Every year has an autumn, and as our Junior year progressed, the leaves and flowers of our preceding years died forever. It was indeed the harvest of all our dreams and hopes and efforts. But it was not all glory and wonder and splendor. There were texts and examinations, but it was sweet to know that we would soon be Seniors and in our last stage of development. During this year we sponsored a play called ‘Eyes of Love.” Our President was Elnora Johnson; Vice-President, Myrtle Richards; Secretary and Treasurer, William Johnson. At the beginning of that year we had thirty-seven in class, and our sponsor was Mr. Ballagh. SENIOR With the fruits of the preceding years stowed away in our minds for future use, we, as Seniors, gladly welcomed the coming Winter, which marked the last year in our High School life. Now in our young womanhood and manhood, clad in spotless snow and frost pro- tecting the yet immature germs of our development, we, thirty-five in number, stand at the end of our course. We have tried faithfully to live up to our motto, “Give to the world the best you have and the best will come back to you.” Our class sponsor this year has been Mrs. Ballagh. Our President this year has been Clarence Pattison; Vice-President, Duane Clingem- peel; Secretary and Treasurer, Elnora Johnson. This year we have given a play entitled “Don’t Darken My Door.” This is indeed a sadder time than we expected. The world outside is cold and we know net what to expect from its bleak, bare walls. We may be hazed by the world just as unmercifully as ever a Sophomore dared, but we know that it will be of value to our training, and so we go forth into a new Spring as fresh as we expected to be when we became Seniors and green as ever we were when we entered Montvale High School four years ago. CLASS WILL To all those who need it, Junior Breedlove’s neatness. To Lucille Smith, Josephine McGuire’s ability to argue whenever the occasion presents itself.

(Autographs INDIAN REMAINS About five hundred yards southeast of Montvale High School Building is a large grass covered knoll which is the Old Indian Burying Ground. The Siouan Indians that were later driven west- ward by the incoming pioneers and settlers are supposed to have built this mound and to have buried their dead there. JUNIOR CLASS MR.

New shelves have been added to our library and more books have been purchased. Magazines and papers have been subscribed to also. Among those are: Saturday Evening Post, Look, Time, Open Road For Boys, Roanoke Times, Roanoke World-News, New York Times, and several others. A new mimeograph machine was bought for the office. Football was started for the first time this year and proved to be very interesting. A new basketball was purchased with funds received from the sale of Curtis Publications. Room Three was changed to an informal classroom due to the introduction of tables and chairs to replace desks. This has proved very satisfactory and more changes of this type are being planned. Last and perhaps the greatest is the increase in enthusiasm for better school life and school spirit. CAN YOU IMAGINE? Bos Kincatp being as quiet as Ellis Harris. IRENE WaLpDROND as dignified as Wyona Johnson. Dor Corer not falling for all the good looking boys. Hanna Otson as athletic as Alva Foster. GLENN KNIGHTON with the calm and peace of Ambrose Franklin.
