The Autuun of 1936 is indeea a memorable date in the anizls ot Rockbria,e County, for ut this time ty.o illustrious classes sere daunchin, out in the sec of learning— one clase at Neturcl Briage anu tne other at Glispov.

Nevertheless we are sure to say these were stormy days for both groups of Sophomores, and we were indeed cresticllen because we were hot appreciated. But all things eome to an end anda so did our Sophomore year. Td is 1938 and we are Juniors.

I had been busy all day arranging matters at the hospital so that I might be able to arrive at the clinic in time for its opening. Kathleen Powell, superinten- dent of the Jefferson Hospital in Roanoke, who was an old Classmate at N.B.H.S. was to stop and. pick me up for Clinic in Washington, I confess my thoughts. were more on Seeing Kathleen and talking over old times, ra In a few moments Kathleen drove up in 4 prosperous car and we were off together. I was thrilled to hear of the success she was having asssuperintendent of the hospital. She was the same old girl I had known, You should have been with Ernestine Armentrout and me last night, said she. We went over to Roanoke College to see Clayton Camden's 'five smart boys! trounce Long Island University basket- ball team, Clayton, our old Classmate, was a of his five smart boys. She said Ernestine was getting along fine as private secretary to one of the large Insurance Companies in Roanoke, the same quiet ana serene girl we had known at N.B.H.S. It hardly seemed we had been driving long enough to be in Wash- ington, but we were. We decided to spend the night in George Wash-— ington Hotel, where all other nurses were staying. We were just in time for opening of Clinic. The building where Clinic was being held Was crowded with doctors and nurses. We had to sit in back. I sat next to « small person whose face seemed familiar. I askea Kathleen and guess who it was? Bimmie Wood, After the clinic was over we asked Bimmie where she was staying and she said, George Washington Hotel. We immediately went to the hotel so we could be quiet and talk Over old times. Bimmie was now superintendent of one of the largest hospitals in Richmond. She was the same Old. laughing, jolly spirit we knew her to be in school days, She told us ebout Isabelle Cam- den who was private secretary to the Governor, Alfred Thomas, who had forsaken athletics for pokities, Just then a message came that someone was to see us. We all wondered who in the worlau it could be. In stepped our old classmate Tommy Brady, who was now chief engineer of the Department of the Interior. He had heard about Clinic and thought maybe he would see Some of us. He was anxious to know about all of upr classmates, When he left he asked us over to see the White House. We wanted to 8° anyway, because my old friend Essie sundidge was private Secre- tary to the President's wife. So Bimmic, Kathleen and I went over. Everything was beautiful. Essic was surprized to see us. She was the same small, pretty girl we had always known. She showed us a— round and introduced us to the President ts wife. We were invited OO Stuy for ten, We hiuu a fine time. Essie told us that Helen Lewis, another one of our Classmates, was living in Washington end was a most famous aviatrix, Prophesy——continued. The next morning Kathleen ana I were leaving for home. Bimimie went back to Richmond. on the train. We were parted again for I knew not how long. Kat asked if I wanted to stop at Blacksburg, and I told. her Yes , So we stopped.and looked around, We saw a very stately and dignified ian walk out of one of the buildings and. came down the walk towards us. I recognized his face as some one I knew. Sure enough it was Joel Williams, an old classmate who wa s was teaching mechanical engineering at V.P.I. He asked us about everybody. We told him where we had been and whom we had seen. He asked us home with him, but we told him that we wanted to stop by Natural Bridge Station and see the old school. He told us about Jack Slough, who was now 2 mechanic at the Ford plant in Detroit. We told Joel goodbye and were on our way again. We stopped. at Natural Bridge Station, which had now become a sma 11 town. lie went up to the school. There we found Alme Davis, the pla in dignified girl we had known in school. She was teaching Home Economics, having taken the place of Miss Burnett, who haa now become the heau of her own household. All teachers had retired and were living the rest of their life in ease, As we were leaving the school we saw a pretty blue-eyed girl playing in front of 2 beautiful brick bungalow and wondered who livea there. We stopped to ask the little girl what her name was. Just then her mother came out, and who was it but Ruth Thompson, tha t lovely girl we had known at N.B.H.S. She was wife of the new owner of Chiles Barger Company. Ruth told us that Violw Firebaugh was Owner and proprietor of that Fancy Dressmakers Shop we had seen whemwe came up to school. As we came on we stepoed to see Viola, who was the same girl we had always known, She told us about Pauline Flint, who was in Pittsburgh starring in the famous radio seriul, I hope, I hope, I hope. We asked her who owned. that large farm with a large brick house callea Furtale Farms and guess who it was! It was none other than Richard Braford, the President of tir Senior class. Alasi! This trip in memories! lane was over and we must turn our faces a,ain to our work. So, as I arrived at the hospital it was with much regret and home-sickness that I watched Kathleen pull out for Jefferson Hospital in Roanoke.

Neny of the girls in the school were not interested in the game in the beginning of the season, but became enthusiastic boosters before the eid. Yue to the fact thet none of the girls had seen the game played, there were rules to learn, difficulties to overcome, The girls showed rapid progress in both technique and skill, and in each game improvement was noted, Although the girls lost all the games played, they really learned the game and laid the foundation on which to build a successful season next year. al ‘s 0 TMM TTT UUTANNGCUATUCUUBLVUUOOUULSRAGTUVOOAFVOOUANOUOLEROOOOOOOGUNOQUOOUOEURLCUUUODOLATUUOLDOUERAEOUOEUEOLULUOUUEEUL§ TH E SPAN Standing,left to right: Coach Huffman,Harry Wolfe,Joel Williams,Junior Wood, Jack Slough,ltiiller Snith,John Campbell,Allie Vilkere son,Tonmy Brady.
