Here we have mir- rored our friends and our helpers, Faces and names of those friends we will always remember; Pictures of Norton and scenes that surround- ing it make it beloved. You, who have interest in Norton, its school, and its pupils’ successes; You, who believe in the things that we’ve tried to portray in these pages, Surely you, too, will enjoy this record of mem’ries so treasured; Tendrils that grew round our studies, our sports, and our other expressions; Tendrils so strong that we cannot prevent them from clinging and staying; Tendrils or mem’ries preserved for our pleas- ure in days of the future. “Tendrils, mem’ries, Precious, clinging, Ever bringing Tender pleasures, Richest treasures, Always cheering, Strangely luring Into trances, Rarest fancies. ” 5 ' O e .

We’ll think of you with thoughts so filled with pleasure, And ever sing thy praise. We’ll keep you in our hearts And treasure all the arts, Those precious arts you’ve taught us In by-gone days, happy hours We have spent with you. Oh, Norton High, we never shall forget you, Wherever we may roam. Those pals and friends that made this life so happy We’ll cherish forever — In days that are to come. Norhigh! Norhigh! Norhigh! (Words by R. Tamer, J. Buchanan, and L. Snodgrass.) HOW TO GRADUATE By Carolyn Bush So strive that when thy time shall come to join That e’er increasing crowd of eager youths, Which started in their tender years of life To span that dozen years of graded course, Thou fail not, like that weaker-minded one, Exposed to his course, but learning naught; Instead, each year, strive on, approach thy goal, Like one, who loves the duties of his course, Aspires, and then proceeds to nobler things. “Tendrils, mem’ries, Precious, clinging, Ever bringing Tender pleasures, Richest treasures. ” 16 Shakespeare’s Soliloquy, 1932 (In the library at midnight) By Jewell Buchanan and Marcaret Gardner How glad am I to see the shades of night Fall on this room, for, when it is daylight, I’m mortified by things I hear and see. It does appear that students of this school Would never dare to say the words they do, When I am sitting on my rack in view, And they have learned, forsooth, that I In all my works did ever try to use The best of diction, grammar, too. Such conversation as I hear each day Disgraces all that we’ve been taught, indeed. Now in my youth we often thought of plays, But here they mostly talk of football games And basket-ball and sometimes tennis; They want more cups and banners hanging round. They ask not for the better types of books, But ones not fit to deck these wooden shelves. They daily speak in here of “Annual” work, Of advertisements, pictures, hard to get. When day grows dark, they push a button so That fire enclosed in glass will glow and change The shades of dreary days to those serene. When Jack Frost paints the windows icy grey, Then, from the wall above my head, warm waves Descend and warm the chilly air. I think This fixture that gives service is steam heat. To me the finest thing of all this year Was giving “As You Like It” on the stage. Some scenes were practiced here before my eyes. Of course the actors were not so prepared As in my day, but once I heard one say That rare it is that one of my own plays Is given by a high school class today The word I’ve heard most frequently of late — Depression black and hard to shun and share. It seems folks cannot really buy the things They need for school and other good demands. But yet they buy candy and chewing-gum, No good and only fit to do them harm. It seems to me that in this Modern Age The finer arts and literature decline. The modern things are not of my delights, Nor are the thoughts exposed by modern minds. Footnote: The class of 1932 donated this small bust of Shakespeare to the library, when its members were in their second-year high school. “There was ever more in him to be praised than to be pardoned. He redeemed his vices with his virtues.” 17 Statistics on the Senior Class of 1932 January Graduates — Clyde Salyers and John Agee.

Notice to Seniors: Please report an- nually on your success to Miss Emily Davis, who vows that no matter what she does, she will remain in Norton. “ If we do meet again, we’ll smile indeed. 18 “I have a friend, a kinder friend has no man; Like an ingrate, I left my friend abruptly; Left him, to muse on the old familiar faces.” ‘‘Tendrils, mem’ries, Strangely luring.” 19 20 I remember seeing faces; round these are tendrils so strong that we cannot prevent them from clinging and staying.” Junior Class COLORS: Lavender and Yellow FLOWER: Sweet Pea Motto: “ Don ' t stare up the steps, but step up the stairs.” OFFICERS Sarah Dalton , Presiden t E.

The picture we look at just before examinations: “Washington Crossing the Delaware. ” The idea we have of proper school spirit is “The Spirit of ’76.” Our poetic inspiration is the “Bust of Shakespeare.” “George Washington” reminds us that “Honesty is the best policy.” “Sir Galahad” tells us to “Live pure, speak true, right wrong.” The Senior room is “Independence Hall.” When we are bad it is because we are in “The Age of Innocence.” “The Balloon” represents the average mind of a Norhigh pupil. The store on the corner is “The Market Cart.” Of course the Freshmen are “Angel Heads.” To the Norhi student the path from his home room door to the library is as attractive as “The Avenue at Middleharnis. ” “St. Peter’s Cathedral and the Vatican” summarizes the average history student’s knowledge of Rome. “We” is interpreted as meaning “Me and my Latin pony.” “The Panama Canal Today” reminds us of the constant stream of bad English we hear daily. Before examinations we do not fail to make” An Appeal to the Great Spirit. ” When alumni visit our school, as they frequently do during their holiday seasons, we know they feel as if they are “Returning to the Fold.” “The Windmill” is anybody’s tongue. “The Blue Boy” is “blue” because he has just looked at his report card. The High School teachers have given up “Hope” of getting all of us to do our best. “Moses” makes us obey the rules of the school. One of Norton’s heroes is “Dr. R. P. Carr.” The Home Economics Club is kept busy “Feeding Her Birds.” “The Torn Hat” is a result of the depression. Pupils who keep half of their chewing gum, when told to throw it away, are “The Gleaners.” Monthly tests and examinations are “The Coming of the Storm.” “The Law” is represented by Mr. Burton and his faculty. Sometimes a pupilbeginstounderstandan explanation and so comes“Dawn.” “Opportunity and Regret” is depicted by the feelings of pupils who have loafed and failed. “The Anxious Family” awaits the arrival of our report cards. We wait for our report cards “In Fear and Trembling.” After we hear Mr. Burton reading out our examination grades, we better understand “Milton Dictating ‘Paradise Lost’.” One of the most common commands of our teachers is “Wake Up.” In passing from the first grade through the eleventh the students climb “The Golden Stairs.” The pictures drawn by the Senior Class artist for Tendrils reminds us that: “Round these, with tendrils strong as flesh and blood, Our pastime and our happiness will grow.” 22 The Norhigh Echo NORTON, VA., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 2, 1931 Price, Nihil A brief pamphlet published by the First and Second-Year Classes of Norton High School.

M. The President, Robert Fekete, presided. When the Secretary called the roll, it was found that all members were present for once. The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved, although they had not been approved at the time of the meeting, since the previous meeting had lasted two hours, due to the heated arguments of some of the untiring members. The president called for a report on the Class History. Grace Vandeventer insisted that, since “History repeats itself,” we needed no such document. The class then voted to dispense with this custom. The president then asked for the Class Poem. It developed that no one had had either time or energy to write one, so the class voted just to use one that had been written in some previous year, since they all sound alike anyway. The next report was from the Valedictorian, who said that she had been so busy that she did not have her address quite finished, but she would try to have it ready by Class Night. After reprimanding her for her neglect in this matter, the president then called on the Salutatorian, Lois Snodgrass, for her speech. Lois played and sang her Salutatory address; then, on request of the class, all sang it. The president then called for the prophecy. Jewell Buchanan reminded the class that there was really no new way to write a prophecy any more, as so many methods had been used, and, besides, she concluded, if the “depression” lasts much longer, there will be no possibility of any Senior carrying out his or her plans for the future, so the Class voted to dispense with the reading of any paper dealing with this subject. The president then instructed Jefferson Cox to proceed with the last rites of the class, that is, the drawing up of the “Last Will and Testament” and securing “recommendations” for the coming year. Jefferson reported that the various members of the class had been very considerate of the pupils of the lower classes, and were leaving their best virtues as follows: Fred Rogers: “To my beloved brother Jim, I will my dumb, dry, or otherwise wit, which has proved very amusing in the past, that is, to a small audience.” Gerald Fancher: “To Paul Coldiron I will my quiet disposition and a Frenchman’s love for the ladies. ” Laura Short: “To Frances Seidel I do will my ability to grasp those intricate historical facts and a memory for ‘dates,’ that is, history dates.” John Agee: “To Louis Perry I will my artistic ability.” Carolyn Bush: “I will to Georgia Smith and Rossell MacDonald the pleasure of doing all the little bits of work no one else has time to do.” Lois Snodgrass: “To Louise Wood I will one wad of chewing gum, which she will find in the Senior Room in the last row of seats, second seat from the rear. It is stuck in the usual place.” Jewell Buchanan: “To Sarah Dalton I will twenty pounds of flesh, as I understand boys no longer like skinny girls.” Tyler Fawbush: “ I will to Harold Nickels the pleasure of entertaining the girls who bring their lunches during the noon hour.” Irene Horne: “To Pauline King and Frances Jenkins I will the privilege of playing for all programs in Room Seven.” Samuel Zeigler: “To ‘Tony’ Nard I will my tackling ability and to William Culbertson my attraction for the opposite sex. ” Sarah Lee Dills: “To Louise Collier I leave my sophistication and my Senior dignity.” Clyde Salyer: “To Clayburn Bloomer I will my bewitching smile, which, with my inno- cent appearing face, has helped to keep me out of trouble with the faculty. ” Margaret Gardner: “To Ethel Munsey I will my frivolous disposition and also my innocent expression. ” “ These are our tendrils, our memories of our high school days, memories, so treasured, which never will be forgotten.” 31 Rance Thompson: “To Charles Dickenson I will my ability to ‘butt’ a line.” Joe Barron Gillenwater: “To Walker Bush I will my love of fun and my job as Joke Editor. ” Ceylon Baker: “To my sister Katherine I will my love for English and my wonderful memory for recalling the authors of dramas and novels.” Spears McLemore: “To C. J. McColgan I will my Senior maturity.” Grace Vandeventer: “To Mary Dickenson I will my quietness and firmness, which I think I shall not need after I leave high school.” Helen Fuller: “To Beatrice Bentley I will my ability to make biscuits, reminding her that the surest way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. ” Emily Davis: “To Harold Cox I will the suggestion that he, through his violin playing, may charm the opposite sex, as I have with my playing, for ‘Music hath charms’.” Robert Fekete: “I advise the next Senior Class president and the Athletic Association president to employ two secretaries.” Ralph Shanks: “To Joe Voni I will a large part of my oratorical ability, which has often caused me to be compared to Bryan and Ingersoll. The chief secret, Joe, is a loud voice.” ARNOLD Wells: “I will to Frank Horsman my dignity and quietness.” Clifford Stallard: “I will to Abraham Gabriele the privilege of reading Mrs. Anderson’s paper first in the morning. ” Eugene Billing: “To William Davis I will the privilege, which has been mine in the past, of charming with dimples.” Rosalind Tamer: “To Louise Wood I will my job as Secretary to the Assistant Business Manager of Tendrils.” Hally Collier: “To Edward Tate I will my ability to be athletic, and at the same time, not to be thinking about women. ” Jefferson Cox: “I leave my footprints, which are surely large enough for anyone to see and follow. ” Signed: Jefferson Cox, Testator. Witnesses: Mr. Harley O. Staggers Mr. Reese Stradley Mr. Joe B. Hasty After the reading of the Last Will and Testament, the following recommendations were read and approved: 1. That the pupils of Norton High School develop more school spirit. (Proposed by Margaret Gardner.) 2. That at the beginning of the school year pupils be required to subscribe for Tendrils when enrolled. (Proposed by Sarah Lee Dills.) 3. That a committee of three be appointed to find the long-lost Senior privileges. (Pro- posed by Emily Davis.) 4. That the Library be endowed in some way. (Proposed by Ralph Shanks.) Rance Thompson, chairman of the Finance Committee, reported that the financial condition of the class was very good, since all pictures, invitations, visiting cards, annuals, caps and gowns had been paid for — and, just “as we had come into the Senior Class with nothing, it looked as if we were going out with nothing.” The Class, having attended to all the business within its authority, then sang a half dozen of its class songs, which various members had been composing during the year, as inspiration had seized them. Filled with enthusiasm for attacking and passing examinations, and, deter- mined to meet again in the year 1952, the would-be Alumni adjourned reluctantly and tearfully. Robert Fekete, President Ceylon Baker, Secretary “ It is the men and women, boys and girls so poured in and out all day that gives the building a soul of dreams and thoughts and memories. ” 32 Activities “Yet, when confinement’s lingering hour was done, Our sports, our studies, and our souls were one. ” 33 The Athletic Council OF THE NORTON HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Robert Fkkete President Rossell MacDonald Vice-President Fred Rogers ..Secretary Mr. Reese G.

Coach Staggers set to work, however, training the team that was destined to be: Wise County Champions, District Champions, and Runners-up for the Western- Half State Championship. Every member of the team strove to attain a common goal, which was to create teamwork instead of coveting individual honor. The first game was scheduled with a small school to see whether or not the new combination would work. It seemed to “click” with noteworthy precision. Then, with a series of victories over county opponents to its credit, Norhi played Virginia High of Bristol, the winner of which game was to play Vinton for Western Half State Championship. Fortunately, Norton won, 13 to 7. In the game with Vinton cooperation and the fighting spirit were omni- present, and time after time, Vinton was repelled within the shadow of Norton’s goal. This game was a clean, well-played one in which Norton suffered her first and only defeat of the season, by one point, the score being 7 to 6. — Fred Rogers, ’32. TO FOOTBALL, 1931 By Barrett Anderson The season of football was started just right, Though most of our boys were new and too light. We were not expected to have a good season; We did, anyhow, with good team work the reason. We always played hard with one object in view, That with teamwork plus spirit defeats would be few; Nor just on the grid did we make a good show — • Each “tackled” his studies, which helps lots, you know. When the whistle blew for the start of each game, To that touchdown marker was every boy’s aim. If our foe got the ball, for them it was tough, As our line wouldn’t “budge,” since it had the right “stuff.” Though ’twas said we were short in material and weight, We “licked” the best teams in our end of the state, But December the fifth to forget will be hard, For it lists the first loss on our perfect score card. Our secondary four were hard backs to down; When carrying the “mail,” they always gained ground. As for “seven to six” we all take the blame, But just ask the victors their view of the game. “The field where we fought.” 40 The 1932 Basket-ball Season WITH OUR BOYS A successful basket-ball season made a satisfactory climax to the 1931- 1932 Athletic program of Norton High School. The boys’ team presented a fine working machine at every game with the two Cox brothers, the two Rogers brothers, Charles Dickenson, Ranee Thompson, Sam Zeigler, and Donald Pierce working in almost perfect harmony. On March 5 the boys’ team played at Roanoke College at Salem for the Western Half State Championship. Here they won over Rocky Mount, Virginia, with a score of 22 to 19, thereby winning the championship in Class B schools. On March 26 the team won the county championship by defeating the Pound team by a score of 20 to 14. The outlook for next season is bright, with Dickenson, Jim Rogers, Donald Pierce, Jack Alderson, and William Davis assured men on th e team. The 1932 team wishes to remind them that “Norhi can be the best school and have the best athletes of any school in the state, but good athletes do not count; the success of a team depends on the teamwork, or the cooperation of a team as a whole. ” The following boys were placed on the referee’s all-tournament team, cho- sen after the Wise County Tournament, which was held on March 25 and 26: Forward, Charles Dickenson; Center, Jefferson Cox, and Guard, Sam Zeigler. -Fred Rogers. WITH OUR GIRLS “Some of the people can win some of the time — but — all of the people can’t win all of the time.’’ The 1931-1932 Girls’ Basket-ball Team has played many games this season, at least as many as they were supposed to play. Judging from their scores, they won very few but — “Success is not always determined by scores, but by the spirit and cooperation of the team. ” Knowing that our girls possessed the proper spirit and that they were cooperative, we admit that they, too, have had a successful season. Each player shows improvement and so does the team as a whole. Much credit for this success of our team is due to our coach as well as to the team members. “Forsan et haec olim meminisse iuvabit. ” (“Some day perhaps the memory of even these pleasures will be sweet.’’) — Georgia Smith. “Say if remembrance days like these endears Beyond the rapture of succeeding years?” 41 Boys’ Basket-ball Team Eugene Billings, Manager Charles Dickenson, Guard Jefferson Cox, Center John Cox, Guard Edward Tate, Guard E.

DRAMATIC PRESENTATIONS The Juniors cooperated in presenting in costume Shakespeare’s “As You Like it” at the new Bolling Theatre on Wednesday, December 18. They certainly proved that “All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players,” by demonstrating their dramatic ability. The Juniors also presented a one-act play, “A Welsh Honeymoon,” on Tuesday, April 4. The Senior Dramatic Club at its regular meetings has presented three of Percy MacKayes’s episodes from the “Life of Washington.” These plays were taken from the “Scholastic Magazine.” On March 11 the Home Economics Class dramatized “An Old Maid’s Convention” at the Bolling Theatre. Also, as a part of the Washington Bicentennial Celebration, a one-act play, “When George and Martha Return,” was presented in chapel on Friday, April 1. Colonial costumes were used. In this the following were characters: George, Rance Thompson; Martha, Elizabeth Renfro; A George, today, Ralph Shanks; His wife, a Martha today, Sarah Lee Dills. LOCAL LITERARY CONTESTS During March and April, the High School conducted the local literary contests sponsored by the Virginia Literary and Athletic League with prizes offered by the Richmond Times Dispatch. These contests were held in debating, public speaking, reading, spelling, and essay writing. “And, books, we know, Are a substantial world, both pure and good.” 49 Wise Culoh Public Libra Wise, Virginia Senior Dramatic Club OFFICERS Eugene Billings Ceylon Baker Rosalind Tamer John Agee ...

SO it is with human beings. If the child grows up and accumulates no money in bank — saves nothing from what he earns from the community, of what use will he be to himself and to the community in which he lives? For accumulation of money in bank is as necessary to a man as the accumu- lation of fruit and leaves to a tree.

Our life has been happy at Nor- high; No high school can take its place; We’ll come back again in dream- land, And in dreams our thoughts retrace. Chorus: Norhigh, we hate to leave you, Our classmates, teachers, too; For each day in Norton High There’s a clinging memory. We regret — but still we’re happy, For one goal we have attained; As we still reach out for others, We’ll be helped by what we’ve gained. — Emily Davis.

It demands artistic handling of type faces, many of which have a classic beauty in themselves. High grade presswork, which necessitates hours of tedious make-ready to bring out the contrast of light and shadow found in every engraving. And last, but not least, the bookbinding — the art preservative that cares for your book for years to come. Yes, we do all these things, and many more and our journeymen take pride in producing books, especially Col- lege Annuals, of which all of us are proud.

Richest treasures, Always cheering, Strangely luring Into trances, Rarest fancies.” Thus through the pages of Tendrils, which pictures our mem’ries of Norhigh Have we endeavored to show you our pride in our school and athletics. Well do we know that without your assistance, encouragement, money, Vain would have been all our efforts and time we’ve expended preparing Pages so glowing with pleasure for all of the students of Norhigh. Much do we thank you for all the assistance you’ve cheerfully given. Whether you’ve purchased a copy of Tendrils, which we hope you’ve enjoyed; Whether you’ve helped us by placing an “ad” on one of its pages, or Whether you’ve helped us in any relation that here we’ve neglected to mention, Then you’re enrolled in our record of mem’ries entwined with these “tendrils,” Tendrils, reflecting our pride and our pleasure in Norhigh’s activities, Tendrils so strong that we cannot prevent them from clinging and staying, Tendrils or mem’ries preserved for our pleasure in days of the future, Tendrils so treasured, so cheering, so luring, and always enduring. 75 76 77 Autographs 78 LONESOME PINE REGIONAL LIBRARY 720 00520 Wise County Public Library Wise, Virginia
