OK WARWICK 4 = 4 = 1925 -� 4 = 4 = PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENTS OF Morrison High School Morrison, Virginia Volume II FOREWORD It has been the sincere and earnest endeavor of the w arwick. Staff to prepare in the following pages a chronicle of the various events and activities of the Morrison High School during the past year. It has been our aim and pleasant duty to preserve the ideals and aspirations of those who have worked to keep high the standards of our Alma Mater, feeling that devotion to our School is a privilege not lightly to he regarded. As we present to you the folio-wing pages, we feel that our efforts shall be fully repaid should you find there a gleam of happiness in reviewing old memories, or an inspiration to be ever loyal to our old High and to our associates within her walls. ' B. C ‘Poindexter CHAIRMAN of the BOARD til Benjamin lice |Joinfcexter IN APPRECIATION OF HIS UNTIRING EFFORTS AND SYMPATHETIC UNDERSTANDING OF OUR EVERY NEED, FOR HIS UNSELFISH DEVOTION TO ()LI) MORRISON, FOR HIS FURTHERANCE OF THE CAUSE OF EDUCATION, FOR THE TRUE FRIEND- SHIP HE HAS EXTENDED EVERY STUDENT. WITH THE DEEPEST APPRECIATION FOR HIS EVERY EFFORT IN OUR BEHALF, WE DEDICATE THIS THE SECOND VOLUME OF THE “Wavunek” ' Robert l Union ‘Pride Principals Message HERE are many things to engage the attention when school work is left behind; there are a multitude of professions from which to choose; and there is grave danger that, becoming in- volved in the maze of practical affairs that constitute this practical world of ours, one may lose sight of the chief objective and thus render real success in life impossible. Yet there is one thing which, if kept in mind and adhered to, will assure real success; and that thing is — service. The general pitiable state cf affairs in the world today would not exist if there were not a prevalent spirit of extreme individualism and egotism. There is nothing worse than egotism to the exclusion of every altruistic tendency; and there is nothing more desirable than a true spirit of service. No matter what profession one may choose, no matter what may be one’s condition in life, — the extent to which success will be attained is to be measured not by financial condition or political eminence but by the life one lives in his relations with his fellow-beings. May I then be permitted to give this one last word of advice to those of the graduating class: Let a spirit of service ever be your guiding light while traveling the road of life; doing so, you need never fear that you have failed in your duty, that you have lived in vain.

So why do you whimper and whine at your case Why give up and quit without running the race? Remember , my friend, when you ' re troubled by doubts, From caverns of gloom, men have -worked their -way out, When the Fates have you cornered, your courage must show, With pluck you ' ll not die at the very first blow. i! ‘Id x on Ur .

Poindexter Literary Society, ’23, ’24. Athletic Board Control, ’23, ’24. Advertising Manager Warwick, ’23, ’24. Class Creed, ’23, ’24. “None but herself can be her equal.” Hail to our leader and class president, who has led us on to victory. One of the greatest virtues is dependability, and Eliza has it. If she promises to do anything, it will be done, regardless of circumstances. Then you have guessed the secret of her success. As a literary genius and scholar, Liza ranks high, and her ability to carry on our “Warwick” is known to everyone. Eliza’s motto is “If a senior, be a good one,” and she lives up to it. How we hate to lose her, for we have no one to take her place. The best of success to you always Eliza. May yours be a brilliant future. SARAH E. FLOYD “Puggy” Poindexter Literary Society. Vice-President, ’23, ’24, ’25. Secretary and Treasurer Dramatic Club. Girls’ Basketball, ’24. Girls’ Track, ’24. Home Economics Club. Chairman Social Committee of G. It., ’25. Annual Play, ’23. Play, ’25. Glee Club, ’25. “Her stature’s tall. I hate a dumpy woman.” Puggy is capable, jolly and always ready to lend a helping hand. Her success in Mor- rison High School speaks louder than words. With her bewitching eyes, she is irresistible to everyone, especially to boys. She is graceful and a fine dancer. She also knows how to bluff — a useful asset in more than one case. Twenty The Warwick GEORGE BERGH “Birdie” Secretary Poindexter Literary Society, ’24. ’25. President Monogram Club, ’23, ’24. Football, ’23, ’24, ’25. Captain Basketball, ’24, ’25. Dramatic Club, ’23, ’24, ’25. Manager Basketball, ’23, ’24. Athletic Board Control, ’24, ’25. Joke Editor Warwick, ’23, ’24, ’25. Scrap Bag, ’24, ’25. “What I have been taught, I have for- gotten, what I know I have guessed.” True to this type, George is a perpetual tease and just full of mischief. He is a jolly old sport and the best of pals. Many times have we been in need of an honest-to-good- ness laugh, and it was George who came to rescue us. George is quite a ladies’ man but seems to hold on to his heait with a pretty firm grip. MAUDE BURCHER Sheba” Poindexter Literary Society, ’24, ’25. Home Economics Club, ’24, ’25. Glee Club, ’24, ’25. Girl Reserve, ’24, ’25. Beware of those bewitching eyes and vamping ways. Maude is a regular flirt, but then who tries to keep her from cap- turing their hearts? Sheba likes everybody, that’s why everybody likes her. A live wire, an attractive personality, a good sport, a true friend— these are the qualities that make us so fond of Maude. Twenty-one The Warwick .JEAN BKEBNEK “Jean-O” Wilson Literary Society, ’23, ’24. Poindexter Literary Society, .’24, ’25. Annual Play, ’23, ’24, ’25. Secretary Girl Reserve, ’24, ’25. Glee Club, ’25. “A comrade blithe and full of glee Who dares to laugh out loud and free.” Our own little Jean-o is one of a happy- go-lucky nature. She is one of those girls who can win her way into any one’s heart. Jean can be full of fun, and she has the charm to make the dullest party gay. Every- one likes to have her around, for she is full of pep and a peach of a pal. We trust that she will laugh her way up the steep places of life. MARIAN GRACE FREEMAN “Katy” Wilson Literary Society, ’23, ’24, ’25. Basket Bail, ’23, ’24, ’25. Glee Club, ’24, ’25. Girl Reserve, ’24, ’25. Treasurer Class, ’23, ’24, ’25. Home Economics Club, ’24, ’25. French Club, ’23, ’24. Modern Language Club, ’24, ’25. “So winsome lass, tis rare you’ll see For charm of originality.” “Katy” is a truly charming, modest bit of sunshine, for she always seems to make things brighter wherever she goes. She is witty and gay, seemingly carefree, yet be- neath it all lies a great seriousness of pur- pose. Marian is as kind-hearted and loving a soul as anyone would care to meet, always ready to do anything she can for one. One with so sweet a nature is bound to win out in whatever she undertakes. Twenty-two The Warwick HORACE HAROLD COMPBELL Wilson Literary Society, ’23, ’24, ’25. HI -A’ Club, ’23, ’24, ’25. Baseball, ’23, ’24. Basketball, ’23, ’24. Latin Club, ' 23, ’24. Track, ’23, ’24. Dramatic Club, ’24, ’25. A young- man, tall, straight and strong and handsome.” Horace is the personification of good nature, and the possessor of an equal quali- ty of fun and studiousness. He has a pleas- ant smile, and a good word for everyone, and we have found him to be a most genial and happy-go-lucky sort of person. Such a combination of qualities could hardly make anything but a success of their posses- sor. In any field of his own choosing here ’s luck, Horace. RUTH GIBSON “Boots” Wilson Literary Society, ’23, ’24. Poindexter Literary Society, ’24, ’25. Glee Club, ’24, ’25. Girl Reserve, ’24, ’25. French Club, ’23, ’24. Modern Language Club, ’24, ’25. Secretary Bible Class. Athletic Association, ’23, ’24, ’25. “Not too sober — , not too gay, But a good true girl in every way.” A sunny temper, a quiet dignity, and a real comrade thus we have characterized Ruth. During her four years in high school she has won a host of friends thru her easy- going manner, and winning smile. I do not know just what your “hereafter” ambitions are, but may luck always follow cur cutest girl. Twenty- three The Warwick MABEL FRENCH HANDY “Jummy” Poindexter Literary Society, ’23, ’24. Asst. Secretary Society, ’23, ’24. Basketball, ’23, ’24. Dramatic Club, ’24, ’25. Track Team, ’23, ’24. Treasurer Girl Reserve, ’24, ’25. Annual Play, ’24, ’25. Home Economics Club, ’24, ’25. Glee Club, ’24, ’25. “To know her is to love her.” Here’s to Mabel — a jolly girl. Where there is anything going on, you are sure to find her hanging around with a mis- chievous smile. We all know Jimmy is a good ole pal; her blue eyes, curly hair, and frenchy ways attract attention wherever she goes. Her spontaneous good humor makes us ever willing to be the victim of her wit. Dame Fortune says that life holds lots of good things in store for Mabel. That’s only a fair exchange for the good things she has given us. EDITH HEItMENIA HARPER “Hermie” Dramatic Club, ’23, ’24, ’25. Annual Play, ’23, ’24, ’25. French Club, ’23, ’24, ’25. Woodrow Wilson Literary Society, ’23, ’24. Literary Editor Warwick, ’24, ’25. Ass. Secretary Poindexter Literary Society, ’24, ’25. Home Economics Club, ’24, ’25. Girl Reserve, ’24, ’25. Glee Club, ’24, ’25. “Laugh and the world laughs with you Weep and you weep alone.” Hermie is the possessor of the best nature and the sweetest disposition in our class. If you are blue or in trouble, go to her. But how she can giggle! And from her talking ability, we might judge her long-winded enough to make first place on a track team. Perhaps some day she will be a lawyer and out argue all others of her day. Twenty-four The Warwick GEORGE T. DAVIS, JR. “Georgie” President Woodrow Wilson Literary So- ciety, ’23, ’24. President Junior Class, ’24. HI-Y Club, ’24, ’25. Dramatic Club, ’23, ’24, ’25. French Club, ’24. Football, ’23, ’24. Baseball, ’24. Monogram Club Secretary. Bible Class. Athletic Editor of Warwick. Class Poet. “Once a friend always a friend.” Where could we have found a more fitting quotation for George? Here we have one of the most energetic, calm, and unassuming- boys in the class. Besides being the best sport, he is one of the few who has had courage enough to struggle with French for the past two years. He carries his ability to strive on to the athletic field as well, and proves his merits in that line to be worthy of praise. George has tried oratory and acting, and horse-back riding, in fact, he’s what we might call good all- round. HELEN HOBBS “H-2” Poindexter Literary Society, ’23, ’24. Vice-President Woodrow Wilson Literary Society, ’24, ’25. President Home Economics Club, ’24, ’25. “A thousand cupids in those curls do sit.” And what atmosphere could be more suited to those cupids, than her sweet musi- cal voice, and her charming manners? She is a lovely bit of woman interested in “fine acts,” cooking, sewing, and dancing: What will we do without Helen to play at our entertainments ? She has a queer combi- nation of qualities. A way of laughing at you without hurting your feelings. She is quite a modern girl, and yet there is some- thing which reminds us of that quaint music of yesterday. If anyone is fortunate enough to have her try out her domestic theories with him for life, we’ll say she’ll make a dandy little partner. Twenty-five The Warwick MARY EGGLESTON HOLLAND “Lee” Treasurer Athletic Association, ’23, ’24. Treasurer Dramatic Club, ’23, ’24. Captain Track, ’23, ’24. P’oindexter Literary Society, ’23, ’24, ’25. (Vice-President, ’24, ’25.) Vice-President Glee Club, ’24, ’25. Chairman Girl Reserve Service Committee, ’24, ’24. Cheer Leader, ’23, ’24, ’25. P asketball, ’23, ’24. Annual Play, ’23, ’24, ’25. Modern Language Club, ’24, ’25. Home Economics Club, ’24, ’25. “Nothing can describe her.” Full of fun and sparking with wit, Mary is popular at all gatherings where her jokes and mischief endear her to everyone. In school a smothered laugh, a half controlled giggle, help materially in relieving the te- dious monotony in History. She is loyal, frank, and full of energy in various sports. She’s a good friend. A smile will go a long- way, so “Lee” has a bright outlook. ZELLA ANN MANEY “Kenny” Asst. Adv. Mgr. “Warwick, ’24. Asst. Editor “Warwick”, ’25. Latin Club, ’24, ’25. Treasurer Home Economics Club, ’25. Woodrow Wilson Literary Society, ’24, ’25. Class Secretary, ’24, ’25. Annual Play, ’25. “So wise yet so young” When we see Kenny’s name blazing the hall of fame we will remember our old high school days and boost that she is an old schoolmate. Zella is as carefree as a little butterfly. Any time, anywhere, under any circumstances you will find her with a broad, happy grin on her face. Poor ole Kenny — we work her almost to death; but being a healthy specimen and a good sport, we hope she will survive. Twenty-six The Warwick IRIS MAE ROBERTSON Vice-President French Club, ’23, ’24. President Modern Language Club, ' 24, ’25. Glee Club, ’24, ’25. Home Economics Club, ' 24, ’25. Poindexter Literary Society, ’23, ’24. Wilson Literary Society, ' 24, ’25. ‘•To hear her sing — To hear her sing. It is to hear the birds of Spring.” Iris has a smooth, pleasing voice which bespeaks her. She is quite a popular mem- ber of our class — she has made herself so. We think she will Ford the stream of life with a cherry song, for we feel sure that her happy past will be reflected in her future. GLADYS ETHLHEA ROWE French Club, ’24, ' 25. Woodrow Wilson Literary Society, ' 25. Poindexter Literary Society, ' 24. Glee Club, ’25. “Dignity-Dignity hath a charm all its own ! ” Gladys is one of our quiet persistent Se- niors who takes her time and seldom fails to get what she wants. Gladys belongs to the part of our class that upholds our rep by preserving to our class the title “dignified Seniors” She possesses a certain grace and charm that is in itself, distinctive while she is further gifted with a quiet tongue, and even disposition. She is capable, and relia- ble and one of those who always has her work in on time. Surely we can expect fine things of her in the future. Twenty-seven The Warwick EDWARD STUART HARRIS “Stute” President Athletic Association, ’24, ’25. Monogram Club. ’24, ’25. Captain Football, ’24. Baseball, ’24, ’25. “Better late than never.” Stuart is one of our quiet young men who sits back and pays close attention, when he thinks the teacher is watching him. He is nearly always late, but that is ac- counted for by his unusual interest in extra- activities. Anyway, when he does come he has a line which almost convinces h i s teachers that he has studied. “Stute” is one of our old stand-bys, for whenever we want someone to help us, he is ever-ready. We have to admire his ability to play foot- ball as well as the art of breaking hearts. Strong, athletic and full of the energy of youth, we expect “Stute” to be center and tackle in the great game of life. MARTHA JEANETTE PETERS “Bobby” Secretary Literary Society, ’23, ’24, ’25. President Girl Reserve. Secretary of Modern Language Club. French Club. Annual Play, ’25. Home Economics Club. “A brilliant mind is a constant source of pleasure.” Poise, maturity of mind and fine executive ability — that’s Martha. Her jolly disposi- tion has won a warm place in the heaits of her classmates. When she is around we notice her and when she talks we listen with eagerness. Through her ambition and “go” she has made an enviable record at “HI”. No matter how dark the day Martha can give us a smile and a lovely thought. But watch out! There’s a frankness about her that makes us wince under her displeasure. There’s no doubt of that. Twenty-eight The Warwick MARVIN EDWARD HORTON High Rockets” Football, ’24. Basketball. ’24, ’25. Baseball, ’25. HI-Y Club. Dramatic- Club. Annual Play, ’24, ’25, President Monogram Club. President Wilson Literary Society. Class Phophet, ’25. “Why worry — it will happen anyway.” A lot o’ pluck, a run o‘ luck Backed by a cheerful grin, And in his eye we read I’ll try! And then we watch him win.” Marvin is always ready for fun, his greatest weakness is his tongue. Pockets” toils not, but he is good enough bluffer to get by with it. Because of his care-free easy-going manners he will always have friends wherever he goes. ROSEI.YN HOWARD TABI4 ‘‘Osie” Take everybodys advice, then do as you please.” To meet Roselyn is a pleasure, to leave her is a regret. Whenever you want a favor done, “Osie” is ready to help you with her Christian spirit, and cheery disposition, she has won a host of friends. Nothing is definitely known about what she will do after graduation but we seem to see the bride ship not far distant. Twenty-nine The Warwick VIRGINIA WALKER “Reds” Wilson Literary Society, ’23, ’24, ’25. Athletic Association, ’23, ’24, ’25. French Club, ’23, ’24, ’25. President Glee Club, ’24, ’25. Secretary Home Economics Club, ’24, ’25. Girl Reserve, ’24, ’25. Dramatic Club, ’24, ’25. “And must I work ? Oh, what a waste of time.” In Virginia one finds a true friend, not the type that comes to all her acquaintances, and takes to them ' little experiences and matters. She evidently believes that the way to a man’s heait is thru his eyes, for she is interested in Robert Brownings theory, and she has the ability to translate the meanings of a certain person’s heart beats. Oh, end all this and make two lovers happy. THELMA NOItEAN WHITE “Thell” Poindexter Literary Society, ’23, ’24. Girl Reserve, ’24, ’25. Wilson Literary Society, ’24, ’25. Bible Club, ’24, ’25. “She is calm, because she is mistress of her subject, the secret of self posses- sion.” We predict success, for Thelma has proved herself to be very efficient, and tho retiring in nature, she is perfectly capable of facing any situation, however difficult. We do not know what she will do after graduation, but she has so many good traits that we know she will succeed. Thirty The Warwick ELLIOTT THOMAS “Duddey” I love to talk and talk and talk. I pull a lot of clever stuff, My one regret in life is this I don t get listened to enough. They say fat people are always good- natured. And Duddey is the personification of good nature and fun. Always ready to have some fun, into trouble, and out again. Ask Elliott, “do you believe in promiscous talking”, and he will answer, “yes, always and forever”. He is happy-go-lucky, and carefree, and a member of other things which with his natural luck makes us sure he will succeed in the future as he has in the past. FRANCES LANGLEY WILLIAMSON “SASSY” Wilson Literary Society, ’24, ’25 Capt. Girls Basketball, ’23, ’24, ’25. French Club, ’23, ’24. Athletic Board of Control, ’23, ' 24, ’25. Sec. Athletic Association, ’24, ’25. Vice-Pres. Modern Language Club, ’24, ’25. Home Economics Club, ’24, ’25. Girls Reserve Club, ’24, ’25. Treas. Bible Club, ’24, ’25. Glee Club, ’24 ’25. Senior Play, ’24. Poindexter Literary Society, ’23, ’24. “She’s jolly, good natured and true, And her share she’s willing to do.” Here’s Frances, how fortunate we are to have her for a friend. If she doesn’t strike “Edwards” she intends to paddle her canoe toward Radford and be a school teacher. We all envy Frances’ ability to play basket ball and we feel sure that she will star in life, as she has brilliantly shown in her ath- letic career. Three cheers for her success. Thirty-one The Warwick MELDING UNDERWOOD “Boozo Censor Wilson Literary Society, ’23, ’24, ’25. Vice-President Dramatic Club, ’23, ’24, ’25. Vice-President Hi-Y Club, ’23, ’24, ’25. Vice-Pres. Athletic Association, ’23, ’24, ’25. Vice-President Monogram Club, ’23, ’24, ’25. Manager Football, ’23, ’24, ’25. Basketball, ’23, ' 24, ’25. Capt. Base Ball, ’23, ’24, ’25. Bible Class, ’24, ’25. Editor-in-Chief Warwick, ’24, ’25. “Ambition rules my brain and love my heart.” Belding’s the jolliest of sports and best of pals. Some think him shy and bashful, but he’s different. “Handsome is as hand- some does”. Well this member of our class is handsome as — well he’s handsome, he’s popular and he’s clever. Boozo is editor-in- chief of our “Warwick”, here he stands supreme, as evidenced by his ability to pre- side over staff meetings. He stars in athletics and is of the one of the brightest types of good fellows in M. H. S. Also he has not succeeded in escaping the wiles of the fair sex. Oh! Ye love-sick one”. ALTA YODER “Freddie” Latin Club, ’23, ’24, ’25. Home Economics Club, ’24, ’25. “Still water runs deep”. Here’s to Alta, one of the sweetest and neatest girls in the class. We all love her, and how we do envy her accurate mind. She never neglects her studies, but always finds time to help others. Alta has learned that speech is silver but silence is golden. So small, so quiet one would not know she was present. Thirty-two The Warwick Class Tom How swift the last four years have flown, And now ’ tis plain to see, That -zee will ne ' er he here again, Except in memory. For now zee see, let come what may, t he end is drawing near, When we must bravely, sadly say, Good-bye , our High School dear. Farewell, dear classmates, e’er we part To sail o’er life’s broad sea, All happy, yet still sad at heart, To be from school set free. Dear teachers, not in verse or prose , Can we your due praise tell, But may you kindly think of those JfAw bid you now farewell. JVe trust the future years will shozv, The work your hands have wrought, Perfected as we older grow In word, in deed and thought. Dear under-classmates , now receive Our farewell, one and all, And if you’re wise , as zee believe, You’ll all be back next fall. JVe part for years, perhaps who knows But that zee part forever, Yet one thing zee suggest to those From whom zee must now sever; Learn of thyself much to demand, And place your aims so high, That they shall lead to that far land JVhere none shall say good-bye. George T. Davis, ' 25. Thirty-three The Warwick Class Hiflory Four years ago, we as a class, did not exist. We were attending various schools, for the Morrison High School Building w r as not then a reality. We still remember those first days spent in our respective schools where we were quite bewildered by our new surroundings amid the austere glances of the mighty Seniors. Still we managed to eke out our existence as insignificant Rats, and finally came to a glorious day when, with an exaggerated idea of our own importance, we became Sophomores. Now we could hiss “Freshies”, as we considered ourselves far beyond that stage. Some of us worked while others played, while others deserted us for positions in the commercial world. Finally as Juniors we became one class in the new, but then woefully incomplete Morrison High School. We began our studies amid hardships that very few classes have needed to experience. If nothing else, we had good training for an athletic career or for acrobatic performers on the vaudeville stage. The top flooring had not been laid, so we followed the age-old sailors’ custom of “walking the plank” to our class- rooms. We had plain white walls instead of blackboards; and when the latter were at last put in, we had to move out. Even now cold shivers race down our spines when we think of those winter days without a furnace. Yet we will never forget the joy with which we rece ived the news that we would have a week’s holiday while the heating syst.nr was b.ing installed. We thawed out and had a wonderfully good time, returning prepared to work harder than ever. The grave question had arisen as to whether or not we should have an annual. We decided to have one, and to make it the best possible. After a long and tedious search for a name, we chose “The Warwick”. All thirty of us Juniors w.nt earnestly to work to raise the necessary money. It was a hard struggle; for no sooner was “The War wick” well under way, when there arose the problems of organizing literary societies, forming an Atheletic Association, and various other clubs needed in school life. However, we never allowed it to become a matter of all work and no play, for we believed in enjoying ourselves. We tried to make ourselves the peppiest Juniors that ever were, and proved to be so by having all kinds of parties and dances. Then we came into our own as dignified Seniors. Feeling proud and important, we tried to be worthy of our great responsibility. The past three years had flown quickly and we still had much to do. Some new members joined us, while a few did not return; but as one class we went to work determined that nothing should stop us from graduating. When early in the year our class rings came, we enthusiastically declared they were the best looking any class had ever had. Again we thought ' of our annual; for we knew that in years to come, it would serve as a mirror reflecting happy days spent at Old Morrison. Once more we tried various ways of raising money, for we felt that this year’s Warwick must represent our best effor’ts. Thirty-four The Warwick We tried to make our last year our best year both from a standpoint of studying and of having a good time. We have succeeded so well that we feel all the more re- luctant to leave a place where old friends and old memories bind us so closely. Because we have enjoyed so keenly our stay here, and because life has indeed been full for us. we now find the deepest regret mingled with the joys of graduation. We can only say, as we leave Morrison, that we trust future years may bring to her greatest of blessings, and that each class which follows us may be as happy as we have been. ROSELYN TABB, ’25 Thirty-five The Warwick ( lass ‘Prophecy It was just after 1 had received my diploma from high school that I was per- mitted to take a trip abroad and thus realize a desire that I had always had for travel. As I left the dear old United States, I little thought that it would be twelve years before I should return home again; but Fate directed that as secretary of an American business man, I should remain that long in England. At the end of the said twelve years I decided to come back heme. As I boarded the ship in England, whom was I to meet but Horace Campbell and Marion Freeman. They had been to London on missionaiy work, and you can im- agine I was glad enough to see these old friends from home. I must not fail to tell you, though, that Horace is now a noted evangelist; in other words a second Billy Sunday. While we were sitting there talking over old times, a big husky officer approache d us. Who do you think it was? None other than Elliott Thomas. After our greetings were over, Elliott invited us up to see the Captain. Upon my word, it was the sur- prise of my life; for the Captain was our old school truck skipper, George Bergh. After this meeting, we began to talk about former days back at Old Morrison High and to speculate on what had happened to the rest of our classmates. On November 23, 1937, I reached Old Point and saw to my surprise three of the largest hotels in America. Next I found that Phoebus and Hampton were one big city called Hambus, for the two towns had even combined their names. Upon reaching Newport News, I found that it had become one of the greatest and largest harbors in the world, and had changed so much that I hardly knew it. At last I reached Hilton, and stopped in amazemert to realize that it was really tho same place I had left so many years before. I somehow managed to find my way home and greet the family who were everjoyed at my return. The next day I started out to look around. The first place I went to was the stores that are just off Maid Street. Instead of the little two-story stores, there were large ones of ten and twelve. On front of one store was written G. W. Davis Co., Sellers of First Class Furniture. I went in and found my old school mate, George Davis. While George was showing me some furniture, in walked one more of my old school chums. I addressed her as Miss Virginia Walker, but she protested and said, “Not now.” “Well, what is it then?” 1 asked with a broad smile. “Mrs. Underwood, ’ She replied, blushing deeply. As we were wa lking around the store, George invited us into his big office. Who was his head bookkeeper but Mary Holland? Two of his very best saleswomen came in. They were Iris Robertson and Mable Handy. As it was near dinner time, Mrs. Underwood invited us over to dinner. We had all arrived and were sitting around the table when I heard a car stop outside and the fi’ont door slammed. Who do you think came in? It was none other than my old Thirty-six The Warwick school chum, Belding Underwood, just home from Washington. To my surprise I found out that he was a Senator, and had come home for the great purpose of seeing the game between Morrison and Newport High. Later in the afternoon George suggested that we go to the show. As the curtain rose, the stage manager announced that they had a special play on for the day. Soon we heard the trills of beautiful voices. The music was great. Then the. singers came out on the stage, I strained my eyes and discovered Jean Brebner, Maude Burcher, and Thelma White. They were just from Broadway and were making a hit up in Hilton. After the show we went to the best hotel in the city. Upon the glass was written Peters and Hobbs — First Class All American Hotel. I went inside and there stood Ruth Gibson as Head Waitress. After supper was over, Ruth showed us all tho parts of the hotel. While we were in the dining room, in came the two owners, Helen Hobbs, the champion giggler of the class of ’25 and Martha Peters. As we left we proposed that all of us meet again the next day at the big football game, and you may be sure we were all there. When the Morrison boys came running out on the field, there was my old class mate, Stuart Harris, running with them. The game was one of the best and hardest fought I have ever seen, and when it ended both teams were fighting for all they were worth. Following the game we went over to the dear old Morrison High School. There to my astonishment I met seme more of my old class mates. Frances Williamson, Captain and star guard of the girls’ basketball team in the year 1925 was coach of the girls’ basket ball team and girls physical director in all the schools on the Peninsula. Alta Yoder was teaching Latin and Greek. The next night my old football mate and school day chum, Stuart Harris, invited us all down to attend the football banquet, and I ' ll say that this was the best time that I have had in many a day. The following afternoon as I was walking down Main Street looking into the windows, I saw written upon one Floyd Harper, Manicuring. The names looked famil- iar, and so I entered. There stood Sarah Floyd and Herm’e Harper, the champion “preacher” vamps of our class. I did not have the pleasure of seeing Eliza Hunter as she was away on a business trip, but I saw in the papers that she was president of the Woman’s Debating Society of Hilton Village. Another item that caught my interest was that Roselyn Tabb, now happily married, was coming back to Hilton to visit some of her friends. Continuing my reading of the paper, I saw that there was going to be a beauty contest held at the Davis Furniture Store the next day. Being a great admirer of beauty, I decided to go. When I arrived on the scene, I found that Zella Maney had won the prize. Now, class mates, students, ladies and gentlemen, I will ask you kindly not to be too harsh in your criticism of my prophesy; for I do net call myself a writer, but merely profess to have recorded the clear visions that have come to me of the happy futures of my class mates in the years that are to come. MARVIN E. HORTON, Class Prophet Thirty-seven The Warwick ' Blue Bulge Battlers ” I was sitting in the Appalachian Sub-station at the county seat of Buchanan one fine morning, reading the Sunday paper which always got! to us on Tuesday. The air was fairly cool, as the morning fog had not yet lifted, but the day promised plenty of heat. Just as I laid down my paper to go to breakfast, the line phone rang the two longs and a short which was our call. I answered the phone with serious misgivings. I had heard one of the transformers roaring about an hour and a half before, and had been expecting trouble. The call was from headquarters. I heard King’s voice above the loud popping and cracking of the old-fashioned phone. “Johnston, there is a blown out insulator somewhere between Grundy and Poplar. Get to it as quick as you can. The current will be off from twelve-thirty till one. You should be able to fix the insulator in that time or replace it if necessary”. Speaking of sad words of tongue and pen, those were the saddest I had heard since the last time I had fixed an insulator. It is one of the hardest tasks a linesman has to perform. I ate my breakfast, bundled my belt and books and started out on the fifteen miles of mountain right of way between Grundy and Poplar. At eleven-thirty I had covered about seven miles and had not yet sighted the damaged insulator. The sun had come out in full strength, and the weight of the climbing hooks and tool belt made the going rather hard. I arrived finally at the tep cf a ridge and was facing a de- scent of about seven hundred yards. That, however, did not worry me; but, looking- still farther ahead, I saw Another ridge which rose about two hundred yards higher than the one I was on. There was a structure of two poles on top of each ridge, and the three power wires, bearing eighty-eight thousand volts of electricity were stretched across the intervening space like train lines. As I glanced along these wires, I noticed that one of them was out of line. Therefore, though it was too far away to see the condition of the bottom insulators, I knew that the broken one was on the next structure. There 1 is an old saying among the mountaineers that every time you go down a hill you have to climb one; so, with this in mind, I decided to try my luck around the ridge away from the right of way. As I had nearly an hour before the current was to be cut off, I could take things easy. I fared right well till I got about half way to the structure. I was walking along through a sparse growth of large oaks. The ground was covered with boulders and small stones with a little shale scattered about — an ideal place for snakes of any description, I thought. An imaginary snake always seared me more than a real one. I was not to do without a real thing very long, however. The hair on the back of my neck seemed to stand straight out, and maybe it did; but I didn’t take time to find out, for about twenty yards to my right there was a sound and sight that even my inexperience in mountain lore could not mistake. I had been told many tales of the striking ability of the “Rattler”. Some main- tained that these snakes could jump three times their length, and if that was so, this old fellow could have jumped about twelve feet. He was really about four feet long, but as he was the first I had seen outside of a cage, he appeared to be about nine. Thirty-eight The Warwick I grabbed up a long pole, and growing brave momentarially, advanced. I lost courage, however, when he coiled up and darted out his fangs. In my mind’s eye I could see him jumping about twenty-four feet and striking my throat or face. I withdrew to a safer distance and picked up some large stones. The first one I threw cut the snake in two places. The second mashed his head and killed him. When wounded, a rattlesnake has the most terrible odor imaginable. When this odor reached me I was again terrorized. I knew that if any rattlers were within a quarter of a mile of me they would come to the assistance of their brother, for the rattlesnake has a very delicate sense of smell and it is by this sense that they appeal for help. Hardly had this thought crossed my mind when I heard a sinister buzzing across to my left. Turning, I started to go in the opposite direction only to see two more coiled beside the body of their dead comrade. The rattler is hard to locate by his rattle. The “whir-r-r” of one snake seems to cha nge places and probably does. I now seemed to be completely surrounded. The only place I could not see snakes was directly in front of me. I knew that my only chance was to risk a dash through this apparently open space. Preparing to say good-bye to this old world at al- most any minute, I took my heart between my teeth and ran. I made it from that spot to the right of way in nothing flat. I got there just at the time the current was to be cut off at Bluefield. After fixing the insulator, I walked the remaining miles into Poplar, where I spent the night. I went back to Grundy by road next morning. I have seen and killed a good many rattlesnakes and copperheads since then, but I’ll never get the same terrorizing thrill that I received from my first rattler and his friends. STUART HARRIS, ’25. Thirty-nine The Warwick We, the class of 1925 of Morrison High School, feel that at this time we should turn our thoughts toward those things in which we faithfully believe, those things that have been our guiding light during our stay here. There have been certain principles and ideals which have led us thru our high school days, and these are the ones that we shall embody in our creed. First, and above all, we believe in God our heavenly Father whose invisible hand has strengthened us when we have been ready to fall, and who has helped us when all other aid had failed. We believe in this United States of America as the greatest country on earth whose ideals have inspired others to struggle for the light. Anew we pledge our allegiance to this country as loyal and faithful citizens of the approaching years. We believe in our own Virginia the “Cradle of the Republic.” We feel that it is a special blessing to have been allowed the privilege of birth in this good old Commonwealth. We feel that time will increase our love for our Mother State. We have a tender spot in our hearts for Warwick County and we believe that it has a glorious future rising out of a splendid past. We believe in our beloved Morrison High School. For always shall the memories of the lessons learned and the days spent within her walls proven an inspiration to us. We believe in Mr. Pride our Principal, for he has ever been faithful, and just. He has done more than his share to help make our life so far a splendid success. We believe in each teacher that makes up our Faculty, and we feel that they have endeavored and succeeded in fitting us for whatever the future may bring. We believe in Miss Bonnewcll, our home room teacher and helpmate of our brief but happy stay at Morrison. For the School Board we shall always have grateful memories, for it has been for our interest that they have always labored. Next comes our class, which we believe the best ever. We have faith in every thing for which it stands. For each member of the class of ‘25 each of us has a brotherly feeling. As a group we have worked together carrying out our motto “Union is Strength.” We believe in the Warwick our Annual, feeling each edition will prove itself a true reflection of life at Morrison High. Firmly we base our faith in M. H. S. athletics on the success of the present year; knowing that clean sportsmanship cannot fail to carry us onward. In our literary societies, and in all student activities we believe as interests which bind us more closely to School and its work. Finally, we believe in the students of Morrison High who have known how to gain success in the past and cannot fail to do so in the future. ELIZA L.

Rah! for Morrison, dear old high, Cast a look as you pass by, A grand old place all painted white To the eye a most delightful sight. The rooms and halls meet our demands Even the grounds where the building stands, The huge oak trees that cast their shade, The coolest place that e’er was made. There are laboratories and kitchens too (You learn about things you never knew,) An assembly hall with a regular stage They put on shows that are all the rage. We have very fine teachers at Morrison High, To believe it you don’t even have to try, The best is Miss Carr, though so very meek, Next comes Mr. Crigler — good, so to speak. Miss Bonnewell, Richardson, and Thorpe are fine, But listen to these — Miss Ryee and Miss Kline. There are teachers low, there are teachers tall, Some are stout and some are small. As to their age, I haven’t the space, You judge by their dresses and not their face And the Principal, it’s not denied Is made of ability and namely Pride. Hard may be our tasks, but our smiles we’ll bring As praise to our dear old high we sing, Here’s to old Morrison, thrice ever blest For her students all know of all schools she’s the best. —JOSEPH NEWTON POINDEXTER ’28 Fifty-three The Warwick Fifty-four I c _ Athletic ' ' Board oj Control R.

MISS DOROTHY LANGSLOW FRANCES WILLIAMSON Faculty Advisor Athletic Director Faculty Representative Captain Football Captain Basketball Captain Baseball Treasurer Secretary Football Team Fifty-five The Warwick Fifty-six The Warwick Football Those interested in athletic progress at Morrison High School in its second season of football were rather puzzled as to hew high they should base hopes; for the team had to be picked for the most part from raw material and had as their task the making of a name for the Maroon and Old Gold in School Athletics. Preparations began Sep- tember 16th, when twenty-five candidates responded to the call. New suits and other football paraphernalia were on hand, so in fine array those who hoped to make the team started in to do their best work. Mr. J. D. Crigler, a former William Mary star, took up the duties of Coach and Athletic Director cf M. H. S., and it is a large measure due to his endeavors that all phases of athletics, as well as football, have been very successful at Morrison this year. With Stuart Harris as Captain, and Belding Underwood as Manager, football practice started off with a bang. By October 15th, Coach Crigler had rounded his squad into fine shape and condition, ready to carry out the schedule which was then completed. The eleven started off by winning four straight victories, giving Gloucester High an overwhelming defeat cf 49 to 0. The next two games Morrison lost to Cape Charles High School with scores of 20 to 7 and 7 to 6 respectively. Nothing daunted, the team administered two crushing defeats to the Fort Eustis Juniors in two exciting games ending up with scores of 9 to 6 and 25 to 0 in favor of Morrison. Morrison lost her last game, which was thq one with Newport News High, but felt that her victories had so far overshadowed her defeats that the football season had been a great success. The football team this year has really put Morrison on the map in athletics, and promises to do more in the years to come. Backed and encouraged by the students, Morrison hopes to have one of the best teams in the State for its size, and to show that it is quality and not always quantity that really counts. The line-up for this year is as follows: Brown Horton Rollins R. E. R. T. R. G. Underwood C. L. G. L. T. and H. B. Jacobs Harris Bergh Hall L. E. Q. B. L. H. Snidow Edwards Mooney R. H. and L. T. F.

Fifty-eight The Warwick Boys Basket Ball Team Fifty-nine The Warwick ' Boys ' Basketball Hardly had the glare of a successful football season died away when the Morrison lads began practicing basketball. George Bergh was elected captain of the team, and George Davis manager. Basketball practice was carried on under very trying conditions as the team had to go to Newport News every other day in order to have the floor at St. Vincent’s Gym. Even then, the team determined to carry on to glory the Morrison colors, and succeeded in holding their own very well indeed. Morrison’s first game was at Charles City; and though our team lost, they made up for it when the Charles City boys came here. The team then defeated those of Poquoson, Toano, C. 0., and Eustis, losing to Newport News, Eustis, C. 0. and the Originals. One of the fastest on the Morrison team was James, a late comer to the school. For the season Edwards bore the brunt of scoring, while Horton was the star defensive man. All in all, Morrison had a team which everyone should be proud of, and which should entitle one to look forward to a splendid season next year. Those on the team were: Marvin Horton, George Bergh, George Mooney, Belding Underwood and Curtis Edwards. Substitutes: Lefty James, Charles Davis, Richard Hostetter, Andrew Shannon and Kenneth Yoder. Sixty The Warwick Girls Basket Ball Team Sixty-onc The Warwick Cjirls ' ' Basketball The basketball season of 1925 was a very brilliant one for the Morrison Girls; for the team proved itself just as good as any on the peninsula. The girls started practice December, 1924 with Mr. Crigler as their coach and director. Twelve girls came out and twelve stuck through with the team the entire season, the second team doing a large share in preparing the first team for its battles for victory. As Captain Frances Williamson piloted her team in a splendid way, while Mary Murphy proved quite an able manager. In contests with eleven different teams, the Morrison girls won twelve games, losing only three — a record of which any high school could well be proud. The teams Morrison played were those of Fort Eustis, Toano, Poquoson, Newport News High School, Kempsville, Oceana, Gloucester, Charles City, Phoebus, Ashland and Fort Monroe. The line-up of the first team is as follows: Beatrice Horton R. F. Maggie Mahanes L. F. Mary Murphy C. Alma Phillips S. C. Frances Williamson R. G. Marion Freeman L. F. Those on the second team were: Ruby Horton, Lenore Farnham, Ida Wallace, Earleen Cosby, Violet Redman and Mabel Handy.

Seventy-nine The Warwick asou: ORANGE CRUSH SENIOR HIKERS UTENSIL RATTLERS UNDER THE MISTLETOE SMARTEST SENIORS Eighty The Warwick Student ' s Diary Dear Diary: For the past week I have been wandering around school, visiting the various classes, taking note of all the foolish as well as serious occurences which struck me as being worthy of permanent record. First thing this morning I took a running start for the truck, and piled in there among the rest of our Morrison girls. We sang and yelled en route to Morrison, then whooped like Indians until we were hoarse. Home room period proved one round of trouble and worry right after another. Of course some old pest had to ask for dues. I never have heard so many demands for cash. Then the call to arms came. Everyone was requested to shoulder his books and pencil and march bravely forth to class. Classes and homework now stared everyone in the face, but of course all were prepared. They always are. I was surprised to hear the excitement and confusion that was present in Physics Class this morning. Stuart Harris came in only ten minutes late and Connie nearly had hysterics when he was sent to her for a late; slip. She has actually had to make requisition to the School Board for a new file to keep Stuart’s late slips in. Knowing that Miss Thoipe is in love with her Latin II class the dear, sweet things, I dropped in to see how things were coming on. I never knew a group of students could be so quiet, but after all Latin is supposed to be a dead subject. Perhaps a certain person in that class is deader than Latin. Well, one thing made me wonder. Spanish is so interesting and so very romantic that I cannot realize why more people don’t have a date at 3:15 with “Miss Nellie”, since the subject and the teacher are so pleasant. Now, listen Diary, if you want fun you should visit that Math. Class at 10 o’clock. Mr. Crigler is so fascinating and the subject ie (a-b) is so vital, that the class drinks in algebra like it were the most intensely interesting thing on earth. As I went in the library I noticed a large piece chipped out of the top of the doorway. Lo and behold, I found out that Marvin Horton’s chin caught in there one day and nearly wrecked the school. Anyway, I found that there were some very bright and brilliant pupils who worked at Espanola with Miss Richardson in the library. This room is a veritable haven. Everything is so quiet and peaceful. To-day I noticed that Stuart and Belding cut Spanish. I inquired what was the trouble, and finally wormed out the secret that Stuart wants to be a veterinary doctor and was practicing oit Belding as a good specimen. One thing I know, Sloan’s Lini- ment can’t hold a candle to the kind those boys use. English IV went off nicely with our Miss Ryce. The whole class was very at- tentive, especially one couple in the rear. I heard seme of the boys expressing their opinion of “Hamlet,” but I dare not reprint it here. Someone actually was bold enough to take out a compact in Miss Carr’s room to- day. Why it would have been just as well to have dropped a lighted bomb and expect no explosion. We had an exciting argument about History just the same, as well as a nice little written lesson. Eig ' hty-one The Warwick Assembly to-day was a fine affair. You could have heard a pin drop, and talk about singing! The Glee Club has mocking birds beat a mile, that’s all there is to it. Mr. Pride made a speech, and it was some oration, I can tell you that. Alas and alack, the day ended in disaster. Constance slipped down between the typewriter and the bell, and detained the school one minute over time! She cer- tainly ought to ring the bell one minute later to-morrow morning to make up for it. Now, Diary, I could write down all manner and kinds of queer happenings if I had the time and space to do it; but the best thing I can tell you is just to ' come up to Morrison and meet our fair student body and see for yourself the little ins and outs of our daily existence. Farewell, I’ll write more later. ELIZA HUNTER, ’25.

Eighty-six The Warwick S 1 lye tics As a long ' boy He’s quite a Bean, He gets Nettled quite often As we have seen. About Zion’s Ship He likes to blow, But he is an-ice-berg As you know. At two hundred-fifty she tips the scale, Yet we would not call her a baby whale, She’s stern and strict in her command A suspension blank’s always in her hand. To vanities she takes dislike For when you powder your nose. She opens her mouth in stem command, “That compact kindly close!’’ Of flowers that her pupils bring She takes the greatest care, And thinks it quite a grave offense To pluck one for your hair. He’s fair and square “Ecclesiastical” too His favorite color We’ve learned is blue. But a red striped tie We’ve seen him wear, Quite a contrast, we’ll say With his coal black hair. Now if he was as wide As he is tall, He’d have to sleep in the kitchen With his feet in the hall. Her hair is red And her eyes are blue, The boy she likes best Is B. B. U. Eighty-seven The Warwick A Dilly, a dollar, a ten o’clock scholar You’re bubbling o’er with fun “Have you finished your work?” She’ll say with a smirk, ‘H‘eck, no. I’ve just begun”. Some say he’s conceited about his looks, Some say that by heart he knows his books. He’s quite worldly wise. Why do you suppose So often to Williamsburg, he goes ? He’s tall and broad, Quite a sheik they say, Dodging around In his Chevrolet. She plays basketball with vim and pep, She makes the opposing center step. At speaking frankly she’s very good We’ve heard that Spuds form her favorite food. She talks a blue streak, shoots an awful line About Morrison School that laud’s em fine. When it comes to donations or Warwick stuff She brings home the bacon and that’s no bluff. They tell her to teach, be a lawyer or doc, She says this advice is a terrible shock. If a girl is a slacker, she’ll hunt’er down, They stand in awe of her withering frown. In assembly her music we always hear Around school we see her smile of cheer She’s not very large — of diminutive size But we know that small packages are the best prizes. They gave her the nickname of “Laughing Gas” In the two o’clock geometry class. She’s glad to say that she hails from Deep Creek Don’t cross her! Her mind very frankly she’ll speak. She has war paint on And a charming smile, She’s slim and trim In the newest style. She studies little — Seems to know her stuff We wonder when someone Will call her bluff. Eighty-eight The Warwick To ride in a Ford Coupe Is her joy, She masters French Like it was a toy. He weighs 210 I’ve heard ’em say, Mystery’s how he keeps Out of his own way. She thinks chewing gum Is a great delight, But if you mention it to her She is ready to fight. He’s an athlete and an actor too, To Smithfield hams he’ll e’re be true. He ' s not at all shy, likes to argue and tease We see his bright smile when he wants to please. At typeing she is quite the thing Often joys and wees to her we bring. She ' s a good old scout, but take this tip — She distributes the documents called LATE SLIP. Though this old skate is always late Nevertheless we must confess, He is a good sport of M. H. S.

Ain’t love wonderful. One hundred The Warwick Inside Hdope The first trip the football team took this year was over to Gloucester where Morrison played Gloucester High. The usual Fords made their appearance as well as a truck, so quite a number of football enthusiastics followed the team, cheering and singing, by their peppy yells urging the team on to a victory of 49 to 0. This trip was such a pleasant one that with eagerness the crowd looked forward to the next. The trip to Suffolk had a few more complications than the avei ' age one. The boys on the team got there all right, but two of the girls were forgotten until the party was ready to leave on the Virginia. One went back for the two left behind while the rest went on over to Norfolk. Arriving in Norfolk, the girls went straight to the Monticello. So anxious were they to take a trip around in the revolving doors that three tried to go at once and hung up the whole thing for a while to say nothing of stopping two hurried and breath- less business men from coming in or going out of the Hotel. Anyway, this little in- cident was very amusing to onlookers, so it had its value after all. The Portsmouth Ferry did not sink and the Suffolk bus was waiting patiently, so in high spirits the Morrison delegation arrived in the land of peanuts and cotton fields. Meanwhile the three belated ones in Newport News made desperate efforts to connect with everything that would get them to Suffolk in time for the game. A wait of one hour — sixty minutes, thirty-six seconds to be exact — was enough to make them dash on the ferry in advance of the easy going sane crowd in line for the boat. Rush- ing through the boat, they stopped just in time to keep themselves from faliing over the forward end. Then they discovered the startling fact that no other passengers had come on board because the top of the ferry was on fire. The crew had water pouring from large coils of hose. Some men let down the life-boat. The three unwilling passengers could not get back on shore because the rear gate was closed. Fearfully they watched the smoke die down and the firemen’s activities cease. Other passengers ventured on board and the boat was soon under way, and finally reached Norfolk. A street-car ride at a time like this is a veritable abomination, but this five- mile-an-hour vehicle was the only thing which could take the anxious trio to Norfolk. Like wild people, the three rushed to the Portsmouth Ferry which dragged inself to Portsmouth in time to let the Suffolk bus get a running start and disappear from sight. Forty-five minutes more of delay! And the game would soon start! The next bus to Suffolk finally started and made good time. Suffolk came in sight and there was yet a walk to the ball field. Cheers were rising, and the old time spirit warmed the hearts of the trio who luckily arrived in time for the second quarter. (Had to pay fifty cents at the gate just the same). Well, the ole’ game was fine, and it was mighty good to see the gang united at last at the gridiron. It was a stiff fight the Morrison hoys put up, and those on the side-lines were proud of them, you can bet on that! One hundred and one The Warwick In Norfolk that night the entire delegation raided a drug store and universally ordered “dopes”. (One nickel, everything else a dime). Gasping at the overwhelming- ordeal of serving so many, finally the people in the drug store accomplished the task. “On to the ferry!” was the next cry. (Whoever served those violet mints has the opinion of the innocent victims). The trip back was interesting enough in may ways, but it was a sleepy bunch who arrived home to dream of the next trip on schedule. Cape Charles was next in order. Great was the joy of those pupils who were going. Boys and girls jolted along in a truck to the Old Point Pier. And then the fun started! The boat was a pretty large one, and the Morrison bunch spread themselves all over and on top of it — and those who were seasick on the sides! But in midstream something happened. The boat stopped. The officers became furious, especially the captain who wore out his vocabulary expressing his opinion. How could he know that one of the Morrison boys leaned his elbow on the lever which signaled the engin- eer to stop? Experience was the only thing that could teach our crowd what the lever was for anyway. Safe on dry and firm land at last, the question uppermost in everyone’s mind was “When do we eat?” At a restaurant, the order was club sandwiches with no unneces- sary delay, please. The place being very fashionable, however, the first course was paper napkins. Ten minutes later, knives and forkes came in as second course. Third came glasses of water and long afterwards the aforesaid club sandwiches. A few hours in Cape Charles and our crowd had a coating of cinders an inch thick which did not prove beneficial to that “school-girl complexion” and were decidedly uncomfortable in our shoes. Well, we just looked like everyone else, so we watched the game like white folks. It was some game, too. If you don’t believe it, ask those who went. And that moonlight trip home! Oh, little heart, be still. Fate was indeed cruel to the seasick, hut those unfortunate ones at least did not bother the rest. Of course this trip ended “happily ever afterward” like the others. It would not do to leave out our memorable visit to Ashland. A fine array of Fords and various automobiles started out in parade style, and a Barnum-Bailey affair it was, too. One-way street signs didn’t mean a thing to the Morrison bunch in Richmond. They went straight on through like warriors of old when a policeman yelled, “Can’t you read?” Upon being answered in the negative, he let them pass on with patient resignation. Two snappy games were played that night in the Randolph Macon gym when the girls won and the boys lost. One of our crowd nearly fell over the balcony, but was saved heroically. Ashland proved a very hospitable place, and the Morrison crowd was well pro- vided for indeed.

Certainly some of the things which happened would make up an interesting funny sheet — but then, think of the ones who took part in them.
