Mary Brown will be frank with you, and that’s what we want. When we ask anybody’s opinion, we want the truth. She is sincere about her duties and can be depended upon. Mary Brown can play basketball besides being a good practical sort of girl. WILBUR LEE ANDREWS “Andy” “The path of duty was his way to glory.” History Club; Civics Club; Monogram Club; Basketball Team (2 years); Baseball Squad; Man- ager, Boys’ Basketball Team; Annual Staff; Athletic Association. Wilbur is always ready to do his part. Of course, we all have our own faults. Wilbur’s is that he does love to talk rather than study sometimes. JOSEPH CLAIRBORNE BEST “joe” “A friend in need Is a friend indeed.” Junior Hi-Y ; Mo nogram Club; Basketball Team (2 years) ; Captain, Basketball Team (1 year) ; Ath- letic Association. Joe is not only a great asset to the basketball team, but to the whole class. He is never too rowdy or loud, but is a rare good fellow in every way. 4 22 LUCY MAE BOSWELL “bossy” “Her heart is as true as steel.’’ Freshman Club; Sophomore Club; Raven Society, (Secretary and Treasurer); High School Orchestra; Missile Reporter (3 years) ; Public Speaking So- ciety; History Club; Civics Club; Secretary, Daniel Society; Athletic Association; Banjo-uke Club; Spanish Club. Whenever you hear Lucy say that she is going to do a thing, you may know that she means what she says. She is one of that “common sense” kind, and one is lucky to have her for a friend. She will make some boy a good wife. Here’s good luck to Lucy. 4 LESTER INGLIS BOWMAN “lord droopy” “He has wit at will that, when angry, can sit him still.” President, Junior Hi-Y ; Hi-Y ; two years Cheer Leader; Secretary and Treasurer, Public Speaking Society; Assistant Business Manager, Missile; Cir- culation Manager, Roulette ; Student Council ; Spanish Club; History Club; Civics Club; Athletic Association. You can never have those “rainy day blues” when Lester’s around. He has plenty of “pep” and can say things that would make anybody laugh. We wish that Lester could interview Buster Keaton, because we know that it wouldn’t be long before Buster would break his record of never having laughed. MARY FISHER COLLIER “fisher” “My mind to me a kingdom is — Such perfect joy therein I find.” Daniel Society; Athletic Association; Girls’ Cho- rus; President, Banjo-uke Club; History Club; As- sociate Editor, Missile ; Associate Editor, Roulette ; Class Statistician. It is impossible to describe Mary Fisher in fifty words; or a hundred for that matter. Witty, merry, original, and a dandy good sport; without her the class would not be complete. There is nobody in the class who does not like her, and we know she’ll go on making friends after she finishes school. 23 MARGARET WEST COUSINS “piggie” “Thou hast no sorrow in thy song ; No winter in thy year Athletic Association; History Club; Banjo-uke Club. Margaret is always in a good humor, especially when she is helping “Belinda” find their latest sheik. She is the friend of the whole class. You can always depend on her to help you when you have bitten off a bigger bite than you can chew. In fact, Margaret is just the kind of a friend that everybody desires. 4 MINNIE VIRGINIA CRAFTON “o min” “What’s the use of worrying? It never was worth while.” Page Society ; Athletic Association ; Orchestra ; Spanish Club ; Missile Reporter ; Girls’ Chorus. Oh, for a lot of girls like Minnie! She has a vivacious personality that few can resist. One of her most famous hobbies is talking about Nathan, although it’s Mr. Miller occasionally. Minnie is never behind in anything; always up-to-date. She will be gone, but not forgotten. FRANCES CLAY DODD “frank” “She is pretty to walk with, And witty to talk with, And pleasant to think on too.” Raven Society ; Civics Club ; History Club ; Ath- letic Association; Girls’ Chorus; Daniel Society. Oh Frenchy! Frances reads French like a streak of lightning, and it is all that we can do to keep up with her. She is not only a good French scholar but a good sport. We are seriously afraid that she is a dreamer! May her dreams come true! ANNE GOODWYN DOUTHAT “senorita” “To look up and not down, To look forward and not back, To look out and not in, And to lend a hand.” History Club; Civics Club; President, Music Club; Girls’ Chorus; Double Quartette; Athletic Associa- tion; Page Society; Raven Society. Whenever an accomplished pianist is needed, Anne is always called to the front. We all admit that Anne can play, and she is always ready to help out. We wish her ' good luck and may she “shine” in the musical world ! THEODORE OLIVER DOWNING “mousie” “Patience is his remedy for every sorrow.” History Club; Athletic Association; Football Scrub; Orchestra; Band. “Mousie” has created for himself a place in the hearts of his lellow students. His quiet unassuming disposition has almost become a proverb among his associates. You never realize his true worth until deprived of his companionship. Everyone is well acquainted with “Mousie’s” good-natured tempera- ment. ELIZABETH PERKINS FALCONER “liz” “ ’Tis said to keep from idleness Or flirting, those twin curses, She spent her leisure, more or less. In writing po — no, verses.” Civics Club; History Club; Athletic Association; Daniel Society; Public Speaking Society; Spanish Club. We wish that Mr. Miller could see some of “Liz- zie’s” poetry that she doesn’t “hand in.” Here’s where she shines. Ask her and she will show you some. We shouldn’t be surprised to hear that some day she has become famous writing lively poems for “Life.’’ 2 5 ANTHONY ROSENSTOCK FISCHER “snaky” “Without him as a friend, no one would choose to live.’’ Daniel Society; Football Team (3 years) ; Basket- ball Team (2 years); Hi-Y ; Monogram Club; Pub- lic Speaking Society. We all like “Snaky.” It’s such an easy thing to do because he is such a good sport and so good- natured. He plays football well and basketball also; and his voice is often heard in the physics laboratory. There can’t be much gloom around when “Snaky” is there. Keep it up, you’re on the right track, “Snaky.” 4 NATHANIEL EULICE FRANKLIN “benjamin” “An experienced, industrous, ambitious boy.” Spanish Club; Winner Typewriting Certificate; Orchestra; Athletic Association. It is hard to think of this class without Eulice. He is always ready to help others, and with his perseverance he sets an example for others. With his quiet ways, he is like a familiar setting ; the place he holds in one’s heart is not fully known until he is gone. VIRGINIA RUFF ' IN GILLIAM “dumbbell” “So well to know.” Her own that what she wills to do or sav Seems wisest, virtuousest, discreetist, best.” Missile Reporter; Treasurer Freshman Club; So- phomore Club; Raven Society; Civics Club; His- tory Club; Page Society; Editor Missile; Girls’ Basketball Team; Associate Editor, Roulette; Asso- ciate Editor Missile; Vice-President, Student Council; Class Prophet. If you know anything funny, just tell it to Vir- ginia. She has a lively sense of humor and always sees the bright side of things. Virginia has shown us what a good editor she can be, and we expect much from her in the literary world. She is a demo- cratic type and is a very clever girl. - «§f 26 THOMAS ARTHUR HARDING “philosopher” “Deep sighted in intelligence, ideas, atoms and influence.” Raven Society ; History Club ; Civics Club ; Daniel Society ; Publip Speaking Society ; Spanish Club ; Athletic Association; Junior Hi-Y ; Hi-Y; Class Historian; Manager Basketball Team, ’25; Mana- ger Football ' J ' eam, ’25; School Representative in National Oratorical Contest, ’25. Thomas has a heart as sound as a bell, and his tongue is the clapper, for what his heart thinks his tongue speaks. 4 FLORENCE ESTELLE HARRISON “flo” “At first she loved naught else but flowers And then she only loved the rose And then herself alone; and then — She knew not what; but now she knows.” Athletic Association; Raven Society; Glee Club; Double Quartette; Spanish Club. “Flo” is one of those sedate people who are al- ways full of mischief, yet serious at the time when everyone else is “caught in the act.” Bubbling over with enthusiasm, ever bent upon attracting the op- posite sex — at present, it is one of those fellows of the “hardy” type. 4 ROBERT WHITNEY HARWELL “bob” “He did well because he served the common good rather than his own will.” Athletic Association ; Associate Editor, Missile ; Chairman Photograph Committee, Roulette; Vice- Fres., Raven Society; Junior Hi-Y; Hi-Y; Civics Club; History Club; Treasurer, Athletic Association; Vice-President, Senior Class. Golden reports come as easily to Robert as trans- fers to a street-car conductor. He not only gets good reports, but he is a good worker and is always willing to do his part. We hope that he will have as much success hereafter as he has had in the cattle business. ---$ 27 G MARY FRANCES HATCHETT “punk” ‘She is herself of best things the collection.” History Club; Daniel Society; Captain, Basket- bail Team, (’25-’26) ; Manager, Basketball Team, (’24-’2S) ; Vice-President Civics Club; Banjo-Uke Club; Y. W. C. A.; President, Senior Class; Secre- tary, Athletic Association. Can she play basketball? She doesn’t miss. We expect to hear some day that Mary Frances has become famous on the athletic field. Besides being a good basketball player, Mary F ' rances is a good all-round sport. She has plenty of courage and the kind of pluck that we admire in a girl. 4 ELIZABETH WINSTON LANIER “betsy” ‘‘How far that little candle throws her beams.” Page Society; Raven Society; Athletic Associa- tion; Civics Club; History Club; Friendship Club; Girls’ Chorus; Missile Reporter. You might think that Lizzie is quiet but you just ought to see her at a football game. She is a fine rooter and will yell when everybody else is bored. Sportsmanship, Lizzie; keep up the good work! 4 LENA LAVENSTEIN “billy do” “She doeth little kindnesses which most leave un- done or despise.” Raven Society; Athletic Association: Daniel So- ciety; History Club; Public Speaking Society. It is said that good things come in small pack- ages, but there’s always an exception to the rule ; one of these exceptions we find in Lena. She’s the kind of a girl that classmates ne ' er forget. Her sweet disposition will be always engraven in our minds, and we wish her success after bidding P. H. S. fare- well. 28 - W. R. McKENNEY FREE LIBRAIY PETERSBURG, VIRGINIA SELMA POLLACK LAVENSTEIN “sel” “Is she not surpassing fair?’’ Athletic Association ; Daniel Society ; History Club; Civics Ciub ; Missile Reporter; Banjo-Uke Club; Girls’ Chorus. Yes, Selma has red hair, but we haven’t discov- ered her temper yet. If there is a theory concern- ing red hair and temper, Selma has certainly ex- ploded it. We all find her a good friend and a jolly good sport. What more could one expect in a girl? 4 ? LINDA WILLIAM MALONE “beaufy” Athletic Association; Freshman Club; Sophomore Club ; Glee Club ; Raven Society ; History Club ; Spanish Club; Missile Reporter; Junior Music Club; “Belindy” is a great girl, full of laughter and fun. She can have the whole very sedate study hall of 315 laughing in a moment if it be her will. Linda can laugh at the right time, and she knows how to be serious when necessary, although it is hardly ever necessary with “Belindy.” MARY ELIZABETH MANN “Boots” “On with the dance; let joy be unconfined.” Friendship Club; Page Society; Athletic Associa- tion; Latin Club. Mary is surely a good old pal. She never re- fuses to help her classmates whenever she can, and we wonder what we should do if we should see her frown rather than smile. She will be missed when she leaves dear old P. H. S. — 29 }? • -- SAMUEL HATCHER NUNNALLY “Ham Snatcher’’ “Not careless in deeds, nor confused in words, nor rambling in thought.” Athletic Association ; Civics Club ; Secretary, Daniel Society; History Club; Assistant Business Manager, Missile ; Raven Society ; Hi Y ; Business Manager, Roulette ; Assistant Manager, Boys’ Bas- ketball Team; Junior Chamber of Commerce; Spanish Club. If Hatcher had a dollar for every A. A. ticket he has punched, we fear that he would be a mil- lionaire. He’ll tell you that it isn’t any fun stand- ing out in the rain punching tickets — but that’s Hatcher. He’s always on the job. DOROTHY CATHERINE PARTRIDGE “dot” “ Fair as a star, when only one is shining in the sky.” History Club ; Civics Club ; Athletic Association ; Daniel Literary Society. Good old “Dot” is always on hand when help is needed. She is sensitive, but the world doesn’t know it, and her fascinating personality is felt and admired. Here’s luck to you, “Dot.” 4 HARRIET FIELD POPE “Crip” “I know everything except myself.” Girls’ Chorus; Raven Society; President, History Club; Civics Club; Student Council; Roulette Staff; Associate Editor, Missile; Athletic Association. Everyone who knows “Harry” admits that she is a smart girl. There is not a sentence in “Vergil” that Harriet can’t read, nor a problem in “math” that she can’t solve. She knows her “stuff”, and the best part of it is that she shaees it with others. - 4 . 30 HELEN ROSALIE RAHILY “Kitty” “On her tongue is the law of kindness.” Page Society; Public Speaking Society; Athletic Association. Helen is sincere in everything that she does. She has a winning way about her that would appeal to anybody. Helen always sees the other side of things, and in this way, through her gentle manner, has won many friends. CHARLES CAMPBELL RIDENOUR “Charlie” “He always acted in such a way as to secure the love of his classmates.” Athletic Association ; Secretary, Daniel Society ; Civics Club; History Club; Missile Reporter; Busi- ness Manager,, Missile; Assistant Business Manager, Roulette; Junior Hi-Y ; Hi-Y. “Charlie” always lives in his own individual care- ful way, enjoying everything he meets. He is serious one minute and frivolous the next, thus making for himself a pleasing personality. No better friend than “Charlie” could be expected. ANDREW SHAPIRO “Shap” “His many acts of kindness and of love ivill always be remembered. Civics Club ; History Club ; Hi-Y ; Daniel So- ciety; Athletic Association; Public Speaking Society; Roulette Staff. Andrew, or in other words “Caesar”, is a cracker- jack Latin scholar. You just ought to hear him recite “Vergil.” Andrew knows all about the “bald- headed row” in “Pop ' s” room. Maybe it is because he can’t hear very well that he chooses this seat. Ask him why he always sits in the front desk. “5g{ 3 1 BENJAMIN SMITH “Soup Bone” “He tried the luxury of doing good.” Athletic Association; Civics Club; History Club; Monogram Club ; Page Society ; Hi-Y ; Class Will Writer; Football Team (two years); Captain, Foot- ball Team, ’25; Public Speaking Society; Vice- President, Junior Hi-Y. “Soup Bone” is what they call a “ladies’ man”; rather, he thinks he is. All in all, Ben’s a jolly good sport, and if he has as much luck at catching parrots as he did forward passes, it won’t be long before there will be a Mrs. Soup Bone. SARA BELL SMITH “Peabody” “1 laugh at the world, and the world laughs with me.” Page Society; Civics Club; Girls’ Chorus; Athletic Association; Glee Club; Banjo-Uke Club; Junior Music Club. Sara Bell has just the cutest smile you ever saw. You just ought to see her blush in English class! Her blushes are very becoming and so are her smiles. Sara’s greatest failing is giggling, but that’s not such a bad fault after all. VIRGINIA LEE SPAIN “jinks” “Or light or dark, or short or tall Site sets a spring to snare them all; All’s one to her — above her fan She’d make sweet eyes at Calaban.” History Club ; Glee Club ; Page Society ; Athletic Association; Latin Club; Vice-President, Banjo-Uke Club; H. S. Orchestra; Junior Music Club. The Banjo-Uke Club would be badly off if it were not for “Ukelele Spain.” She is just crammed full of syncopation. Besides her musical abilities, Virginia is studious and will make her goal. - 4 . 32 DORIS BRUCE STEERE “Puggy” “Guess, if you can, and choose if you dare.” Athletic Association ; Daniel Society ; Secretary and Treasurer, Raven Society; Vice-President, Fresh- man Club; Treasurer, Sophomore Club; History Club; Civics Club; Secretary, Junior Music Club (’ 24 - ’ 25 ). Doris says that the latest bob is the “Harwell Bob.’’ She is very sensible, regardless of her in- fatuations, and it is a common occurrence with her to get “goldens.” Success and happiness to you, Doris ! IRIS CHRISTABELLE STONE “Jack” “High erected thoughts seated in the heart of courtesy.” Girls’ Chorus; Civics Club; Athletic Association. Iris is certainly accommodating. If you ever want any good advice, go to her and she will do her best to help you. Our class will truly miss her. We hope she will be as successful in life as she has been in school. FRANCIS ROGERS TOMS “Tommy” “He will always stand the test, for he thought most, felt the noblest, and acted the best. Athletic Association; Art Staff, Roulette; Associate Editor, Roulette; History Club; Civics Club; Raven Society; Chairman, Civics Club Transportation Com- mittee ; Hi- Y. - -=?{ 3 3 - JUNE CLASS CHARLES READ BARKSDALE “Ookie” “Oh why Should life all labor be?” Treasurer Page Society; Raven Society; Public Speaking Society; Athletic Association; History Club; Civics Club; Hi-Y ; Junior Hi-Y ; Spanish Club. “Hang sorrow ! Care will kill a cat — and there- fore let’s be merry;” so says Charlie, Sue’s Romeo. MARY A. BARLOW “Barley” “Thy modesty’s a candle to thy merit.” Athletic Association; History Club; Civics Club; School Weekly News Staff. Mary is not sitting on the school steps at 8:30 as usual, but we bet she’s doing something else now just as faithfully and promptly. JOHN BERYL BARRETT, Jr. “Smarty” “In his knowledge he can not be excelled.” Missile Reporter; Athletic Association. Some silent people are more interesting than the best talkers, but John’s grades speak for him. Have a look at a fellow who can average 97 ; and then look again. -4f 34 MARY ELIZABETH BRADSHER “Maria” “She that was ever fair and never proud, Had tongue at will, and yet never loud.” History Club ; Sec’y, Civics Club ; Raven Society ; Vice-Pres., Spanish Club; School Weekly News; Athletic Association ; Associate Editor, Missile ; As- sistant Circulation Mgr., Roulette; Missile Reporter. Oh those mischievous eyes! they betray you, Mary. A desire to learn, but a greater desire to have some fun, that’s Mary; and we love her for it. The good reports she shows Mama every month have readily won a place for Mary in our hearts. 4 MABEL MAE BROCKWELL “Buck” “She’s been our friend In sunshine and in shade.” Athletic Association; Spanish Club; Page Society. “Buck” is one of the most sincere girls we know. She is leaving P. H. S. but will always be remem- bered as a prominent figure in typewriting room. We wish her the best kind of happiness in the fu- ture. 4 ELISE CASHY BROWN “Coo-Coo” “Full well we laughed with counterfeited glee At all her jokes, for many a joke had she.” Class Prophet, June Class; Spanish Club; Civics Club; History Club; Roulette Staff; Daniel Literary Society; Girls’ Chorus; Raven Society; Athletic As- sociation. The life of the history trips, the hikes, the swim- ming pool, Room No. 304 and Senorita’s favorite. “Coo-Coo” has wonderful hazel eyes that are calcu- lated to do a lot of damage. - { 35 MARIE LOVE BOWMAN “Big Bill’’ “Such joy it is to hear her sing. We fall in love with everything.” Page Society ; Civics Club ; History Club ; Missile Reporter; Vice-President, Athletic Association; Girls’ Chorus; Glee Club; Double Quartet; Raven Society; Spanish Club; Roulette Staff. Here’s a senior who will make her classmates proud of her some day, for Marie has a talent that has already shown itself ; but even without this her classmates would love her, for she has that gift of making friends that only a few have. ELLEN CHERIE BURGESS “Cherry” “The silence that is in the starry sky.” Raven Society; Spanish Club; Daniel Literary Society. Cherie is sweet and modest, also sincere and true; More studious, more generous one no one ever knew. PATRICK HENRY BUTLER “Pat” “Small in stature Large in mind.” Junior Hi-Y ; Hi-Y ; Civics Club; History Club; Athletic Association; Roulette Staff; High School Orchestra; Public Speaking Society; Spanish Club; Junior Chamber of Commerce. We wouldn’t have missed being in Pat’s Spanish class for all the money in the world, for he loves to tell jokes, and Senorita loves to hear them. Pat has been a steady and untiring worker and he cer- tainly deserves to succeed. - -s-jf 36 )§► - MARY ANNA CHEELEY “Al” “The only way to have a friend is to be one.” Athletic Association; Spanish Club; Daniel Liter- ary Society. Mary is very quiet and reserved, and always sin- cere and true to her friends. 4 SHERWOOD WYNNE CHURN “Butter” “Large is his bounty, and his soul sincere.” Raven Society; Daniel Society; Missile Reporter; History Club; Civics Club; Athletic Association. Sherwood is right there with the goods when it comes to breaking the tender hearts of the “sweet young things.” He is not only accomplishd in this line, but he is also well known for the lively orches- tra he has gotten up. FREDERICK HANCOCKE COLE “Willy-Hop” “A gentleman in every respect.” Athletic Association; Raven Society; Daniel So- ciety; Spanish Club; Civics Club; History Club; Public Speaking Society. The striking appearance of this young sheik would indicate that he had a very brilliant mind. Anyhow, Fred is right there; and again, maybe, he loves English. - 37 } •- WHITWORTH WILLSON GOTTEN “Little Si” “He was a very parfit gentil knight.” Football Team; Daniel Society; Athletic Associa- tion; Junior Hi-Y ; Hi-Y ; History Club; Civics Club; Spanish Club; Public Speaking Society; Monogram Club ; Class Statistician. Whit is truly slow, but for the benefit of coming generations he has made of his High School life an interesting experiment: How many flunks one can catch in Spanish and still get by. Aside from this, however, he is really smart and is loved by a large number of flappers. 4V ARTHUR EDWARD DANCE “Dance” “He talks of nothing but business. And despatches that business quickly.” Editor, Missile; Editor, School Weekly News; Associate Editor, “Roulette”; Hi-Y; Raven Society; Athletic Association; Assistant Mgr., Football Team. This young man is really something that the June Class should boast of, a quiet boy ! Arthur is very smart, and you can always depend on him; nuff said ! ANNE ESTELLE DEFFENBAUGH “Shorty” “She’s lovely, fascinating, yet not a bit wild, And she always greets you with the tenderest smile.” Athletic Association; Student Council; Vice-Presi- dent, Page Society; President, Page Society; Page Society Debating Team; President, Junior Class; Basketball Team (3 years) ; Missile Reporter; Ass ' t Circulation Manager, Roulette; Secretary, Raven Society; Girls’ Chorus; President, Crush Club; Friendship Club. Everybody knows Anne — full of pep, witty, a regular sport and good-looking and can surely play basketball. Go it, Anne, we’re betting on you. For with your knowledge of getting frat pins you ought to have a bright future at Hampden-Sidney. Her onlv fault is being a Mann hater (?) and having Fallen-Archies. -4 38 ]8f- WILBUR SAMUELS DISHMAN “Dishpan” “And of his port as meek as is a maid History Club; Civics Club; Raven Society; Ath- letic Association. Wilbur seems bashful — doesn ' t care much for girls, and sometimes studies. Thus, he drags along day after day. 4 SUSIE ESTELLE ELMORE “Sue” “When I resemble her to thee How sweet and fair she seems to be.” History Club ; Civics Club ; Athletic Association ; Spanish Club. To those who are privileged to know her inti- mately, Susie is truly a loyal friend. At times, she loves to talk especially concerning two subjects — Spanish and Chemistry. 4 WILLIAM WORTHAM FARINHOLT “Biel” “He is a man, take him for all in all, We shall not look upon his like again.” Athletic Association; Football Team (2 years); Monogram Club; Hi-Y ; Sec’y, History Club; Sec’y 4L Civics Club ; Vice-President, 4H Civics Club ; Assistant Circulation Manager, Missile; President, Student Council; Assistant Business Manager, Mis- sile. We believe we are right in saying Bill is one of our best all-round seniors, and his wonderful dis- position has made him very popular with both boys and girls. He has also shown that he is of the stuff heroes are made of. -«g( 39 } [ WILLIAM MEADE FEILD “Ibby” “The valor of manhood wears a noble face.’’ Athletic Association ; Page Society ; Raven So- ciety; History Club; Civics Club; Spanish Club. William is small and full of mischief — very fond of answering English questions and aggravating Miss Guerrant. The girls think he is very cute and good-looking, and he thinks so, too. 4 ARCHIE BOLLING FOWLKES “Skitchy” “Happy am I; from care I’m free ! Why aren’t they all contented like me?” Public Speaking Society ; Spanish Club ; Missile Reporter; Associate Editor, Roulette; History Club; Civics Club. We all love that clever red head and sometimes envy all it holds. “Prosperity to the man who ven- tures most to please her!’’ She is one of the two ablest girls in our class. 4 JOHN EVERETT FRANKLIN “Don Juan” “But as you know me all A plain, courteous man.” History Club; Missile Reporter; Athletic Associa- tion; Raven Society; Spanish Club; Hi-Y Club. “Here’s a sigh for those who love me, And a smile for those who hate, And whatever sky’s above me, Here’s a heart for every fate.” -•$ 40 )§ ••- JACK AUGUSTA GOODMAN “Bret Harte’’ “On the lips of his subduing tongue, all kinds of argument.” Spanish Club; History Club; Athletic Association; Civics Club; Junior Hi-Y ; Hi-Y; Orchestra; Art Staff of Roulette; Page Society; Vice-President, 4L Class; Public Speaking Society. Jack is a sheik and, besides this, he and Mr. Miller are close friends. It has been decided that the weaker sex are attracted on account of Jack’s mu- sical talent, so if you would be popular learn to play a violin. VIRGINIA LEE GRIFFIN “Gin” “Her smile forever glowed.” Spanish Club; Daniel Society; Athletic Associa- tion; Friendship Club. Virginia is a very capable senior who always gets a good report. She is quiet unless you know her well, but her friends know that she has a lot of fun that she keeps hidden to spring occasionally. RUTH SUMMERFIELD HADDON “Polly” “Brown eyes, laughing face.

Who could gaze upon this noble countenance without a feeling of admiration? But honestly, Bill is a fine fellow, and is loved by quite a lot of fair damsels. He loves to talk and it seems everyone likes to hear him; so in all, Billy’s life should be very interesting.

Hass History February Class pgarnl T THE end of each semester we have been required to stand examinations on the work covered during the past four months. Now, at the end of four == ==J years we submit this, an examination of our career in P. H. S., to your approval. We trust that you will find us capable of bearing our share of hardship in Life’s stern struggle. While our class boasted of no brilliant and scintillat- ing intellects, you will find us to be a homogeneous mass of the happy medium. We have always done our best to hold up the scholastic records, but while doing this, we did not lose the P. H. S. spirit, and have given hearty support to all student activities. The “Missile” drew a goodly number of representatives from our class. Virginia Gilliam served first as Associate Editor, then as Editor; Charles Ridenour served as Busi- ness Manager. Associate Editors from our class were : Mary Fisher Collier, Robert Harwell, and Harriet Pope. In the Page Society, Anne Deffenbaugh was once Vice- President, and once President. She was also a member of the debating team of this Society. The greater number of our class were members of the Daniel Society, with Hatcher Nunnally and Lucy Boswell each serving a term as secretary. Thomas Harding, a mem- ber of this Society, was the school representative in the National Oratorical Contest of 1925. The February class was well represented in the Student Council by Virginia Gilliam, Anne Deffenbaugh, and Lester Bowman. Virginia Gilliam served once as ' Vice-President. The History and Civics Clubs had a great number of our class as members. Harriet Pope was President of the History Club. The Hi-Y, the club which has done more than any other organization to elevate the moral tone of the school 61 0 February Class History — Continued and to promote a better school spirit, drew a large per- centage of its membership from the February class. While in the Junior organization of this club, Lester Bowman served as its Vice-President. The Boys’ Ukelele Club, a new club, is composed almost entirely of girls of the February class. Virginia Spain is its Vice-President. I have left one of our most important school organiza- tions for the last. This is the Athletic Association. Our class has always supported it to the uttermost. It is entire- ly fitting that Mary Frances Hatchett and Robert Harwell, two of our classmates, should have been its secretary and its treasurer, respectively. Now for the teams: Anne Deffenbaugh has been on the Varsity squad of the girls’ basketball team for three years. Mary Frances Hatchett managed the team for the season of ’24-’25, and was captain for the season of ’25-’26. Virginia Gilliam was also a member of the squad. In baseball, Lester Bowman and Wilbur Andrews were on the squad, while Thomas Harding was manager of the team of ’25. Anthony Fischer was our outstanding football repre- sentative in the point of service, though he doesn’t out- rank Ben Smith, his team mate. Fischer was the winner of three letters, but Smith earned two and the captaincy of the 1925 team. Andrew Shapiro was also on the squad. Thomas Harding served as manager in 1925. In basketball our class was ably represented by Ben Smith, Fischer, and Wilbur Andrews, a two year letter man and manager of the team of ’25- ' 26. The time presses when we must leave the walls of P. H. S., where we have received the sturdy armor and weapons with which we are to fight Life’s battles. Our making of history here is almost ended. We turn over our records to the succeeding classes and charge them to keep them forever untarnished and as well as we have tried to keep those of the classes gone before us. Thomas A. Harding. — « 6 [ 62 Class History June Class HEN the culmination of any great effort is reached there is always a desire to review the struggle in retrospect and to see to whom and for what credit is due. We have reached the culmination of our four years at High School, and have gained the heights, but beyond we see a more difficult mountain to ascend — the mountain of life. No matter; let us pause, having gained our present heights, to look back and behold our progress. Judged from the literary standpoint our record is credit- able. The Daniel and Page Literary Societies both took their full toll, and honored quite a few members with offices, the highest honor being given William Irvine by the Daniel Literary Society in electing him their president for four consecutive terms. The “Roulette” has for its editor-in- chief Mary Robertson. More need not be said, as this book bespeaks the excellence of her work. Arthur Dance edited the “Missile,” the bi-monthly school paper, in 1926, and his work was also outstanding. Honorable mention should also be given the various members of this class who acted as associate-editors of these two productions, and also those who upheld the business and circulating ends. At the head of a long list of representatives on the governing factor, the Student Council, stands William Farinholt, who was president in 1924-25. The Council is due much credit for the splendid work it accomplished under Farinholt. In 1924-25, the Council published a Hand- book, the first attempt in P. H. S., and, with William Irvine as editor-in-chief, it was a success. In an athletic way, the June class claims full recog- nition, especially in football. In this sport were William Farinholt, Edwin Branch, Whitworth Gotten and William Hawkins, each earning his letter. In girls’ basketball Mil- dred Southall was the only devotee, but she made up in June Class History — Continued quality for the lack of quantity. Two boys played basket- ball, William Hawkins and Joe Best. Both the Friendship Club for girls and the boys’ Hi Y Club were well-filled by members of the June class. Wil- liam Irvine again shone forth, by his election as president of the Hi-Y Club in 1925-26. Other minor offices were filled in both clubs. The History and Civics Clubs were, at various times guided by members of this class, Preston Hoy leading the Civics Club in 1925-26. Taken as a whole the June class has taken a widely varied part in school life, and, we hope, has had an in- fluence for the better in all phases of these activities. Wm.

Before I start this ar- ticle, however, I must tell you that our editor, Mr. Stuart, who has made the Progress-Index a famous paper, taught Latin for many years in the Petersburg High School. In fact, he was teaching there when the class of ’26, the President’s class, graduated. So you see he is especially interested in the High School. The other day just after President Ridenour had put the Child Labor Bill across, he called me into his office. “Weren’t you in the class of ’26?” he asked. “Yes,” I replied wondering what was coming next. “Well,” he said. “Don’t you think it would be interest- ing, especially since several in that class are famous, to fol- low up each member and find out what he or she is doing now? There is not very much news now, and we might use it for the front page. How long would it take you to get the material and write the column? A week?” “Make it longer,” I replied. “In the fifteen years since we finished High School, we have scattered everywhere and while most will be easy to find out about, there will be several who’ll be hard to trace.” He gave all the time I needed and this is the result. Of course there is room to print only a few of the most import- ant facts about each one, but one can read between the lines. Charlie Ridenour is, of course, president of the United States. Everyone knows that, but does everyone know that Snakey Fischer is a hobo? He travels all over the country every year, and has worked only two days since leaving school. Sara Smith is training monkeys in a circus. How could you, Sara? We expected better things of you. -4 68 ) 8 Prophecy, February Class — Continued Ben Smith is a dancing teacher. He is specializing par- ticularly in the “Charleston” because it is so graceful. Mary Fisher Collier is an old maid stenographer. Aren’t you surprised at that? Francis Toms and Joe Jolliff are running a beauty parlor. They are quite successful. Lucy May Boswell is teaching negroes in a country school. Why pick on the colored population? Mary Frances Hatchett is running a kindergarden. She got wonderful training for this kind of work when she was president of the Senior class at P. H. S. Oliver Downing just couldn’t leave P. H. S. He is now Coach Joyner’s assistant and they are turning out a cham- pionship team. Eulice Franklin has discovered what Einstein’s theory of relativity is all about, and for the past year has been trying to explain it to the world. We wish him success. Frances Dodd is one of the famous ones. She is a movie star, a second Pola Negri. Iris Stone is Virginia’s first woman governor. She is making a big name for herself in political circles. Andrew Shapiro who was so brilliant in Latin class is Mr. Stuart’s successor. He took this job the year Mr. Stuart took up newspaper work. Robert Harwell has gone into partnership with Mr. Rees, the photographer. They work quite well together. Margaret Cousins is running a most efficient taxi ser- vice for Petersburg. Strange as it may seem, she began business with one Ford. The social calendar for next week is quite full. It seems that both Florence Harrison and Anne Douthat are to be married, but not to each other. Mary Brown Allgood is teaching physical training in P. H. S. It is really surprising how many of the old gradu- ates have come back to take positions in school. Mary Mann has gone in for philanthropy. She is teach- 69 Prophecy, February Class — Continued ing hundreds of less fortunate women how to make their hair look just like hers. Poor Lester Bowman is marooned on a desert island, but he is not alone. He has a piece of cracked mirror with him. Elizabeth Falconer is a second Eddie Guest. One of her latest books is entitled “Heart Throbs of a Nation.” Virginia Spain is a lawyer. She got much of her ability in this line from explaining why she was late so often in 315. Harriet Pope is a great leader of the Woman’s Party. She expects to run for president at the next election. Joe Best is a traffic cop. When he wants traffic to stop, he takes off his hat. Few people have realized nature’s gifts so well. Thomas Harding is in Williamsburg. His mind broke under the strain of trying to decide whether or not the moon is made of green cheese. Lena Lavenstein is bossing a husband. She does it quite well, having gotten several good lessons from the class play. Linda Malone is teaching singing in Hopewell High School. As their first lesson she gives them all “I Wonder What’s Become of Sally.” “Old songs are best,” says Linda. Selma Lavenstein, who was everybody’s friend in High School, is running an uplift club in New York’s East side. Helen Rahily is a famous dancer. I wonder if she remem- bers the Tuesdays and Thursdays down in the gym. Hatcher Nunnally has been hunting big game in Africa. “It is neither so hard nor so dangerous as hunting adver- tisers for the Annual,” says Hatcher. We all knew Elizabeth Lanier would surprise us some day and stop being lazy. She is now Society Editor of the Progress-Index, and, heavens, how she does work. Doris Steere is the champion woman swimmer of the world. She hopes to swim the English Channel this year. Prophecy , February Class — Continued Minnie Crafton has organized the first professional wo- man’s football team in Virginia. Why do you suppose she did it? If any of the class of ’26 want to get the addresses of their classmates, we shall be glad to give them to you. Owing to lack of space it was impossible to do any more than give an idea of what they were doing. It seems strange to think that all these widely separated people once went to school together. Virginia R. Gilliam NOTE: Virginia Gilliam — once a promising editor of the “Missile” has continued her work in journalism and is now editor of Colored Dots. Lucy Mae Boswell. 71 Prophecy June Class HE night was dark, and the hot dry sands of the Sahara were giving up their intense heat to the cool breezes as our group of weary travelers came upon a small band of Arabs camping by an in- viting stream. They welcomed us in to rest, and my seat happened to be beside an old Arab woman who was slowly dying for want of food. I gave her some of our supper and afterwards she held my hand and spoke to me. “My friend,” she said in broken English, “you have helped me to live, and now I would reward you. Is there any friend or friends you would like to see — know their failures and successes?” And as I smiled she continued, “Here I have at my feet the mystic sands of the desert. Print in them the name or question you wish and it will fade away into the real picture of the person.” And so I did, for mere curiosity, print in the mystic sands the name of my dearest friends — my classmates. First there was our energetic Charles Barksdale. I printed his name, and slowly, much to my delight, the sands faded away and a brilliant picture came before my astonished eyes. It was the scene of a prize fight and in the ring, winner over Preston Hoy, was Charlie. And then the picture died away only to be replaced by a huge advertisement which read: — “Meeting of Flappers Union with Miss Mary Barlow speaker.” I was greatly puz- zled over this unusual change in our quiet Mary. Then came the scene of a church — large and extensive. In the pulpit preaching against the modern youth was Anne Deffenbaugh, while Barbara Willcox was leading the choir composed entirely of men. Quite natural, I thought. By that time I was getting extremely interested, and one after the other I printed the names with amazing results. -4 72 •- Prophecy, June Class — Continued Next I saw the picture of our once reserved Janie Ruffin. It was in the New York World and with her was her sixth husband, Count Lovahard of Roumania. She seemed to be racing Peggy Joyce in the matter of heart breaking. After that came another “hit”. It was Lucy Pilcher. Due to her lasting devotion to Miss Wilkie and Spanish, she had disguised herself with a black wig as a Senorita and danced nightly in the Cafe del Diablo in Madrid. Again I printed. This time it was Sadie Usher as she made her debut amid a cloud of cigarette smoke at the Woman’s Club. Then came the scene of a cafe, and there employed as a waiter serving corn beef and cabbage was Patrick Butler. There was Dorothy Patridge as speed cop between New York and California, Robert Morris lecturing on “What It Means to Be In Love,” and then our original Powell Lum painting a picture of Baby Peggy. Also there was Martha Lanier announcing that under her leadership the Man Haters’ Club will endeavor to stop all flirting entirely — Ethel Mize and Ruth Haddon were her assistants. I saw Rosa Townes and William Irvine as dancing part- ners in the Tourist Hotel doing their new dance, “The Mule’s Kick” similar to the Charleston. And then I saw a funny paper called “The Cuckoo’s Cackles” with cartoons done entirely by Martha Williams. I was wondering by this time what other unusual things I would see when I glimpsed our dependable Mary Robert- son, faithful in her devoti on to her English training as she sold her book, “Why Professor Miller Killer Edgar A. Guest,” and Archie Fowlkes as she received her five-dollar acting diploma which would enable her to play Ophelia’s part in Hamlet. Later there was Elliott Jones as a foot specialist, Mary Bradsher as street cleaner of Pocahontas, and Marion Holt as a chorus girl for Flo Ziegfield. Just at that time I saw the vision of a large building. -«•{ 73 } ■- ] Prophecy , June Class — Continued It was the MeWillis Studio where Mae Mclvor and Elizabeth Willis had succeeded Arthur Murray as dancing masters. In the same building Audrey Mathews as a movie star was directing her own picture, “The Bare Bear,” and from her costumes I judged she was following in the footsteps of Mae Murray. Then came my worst shock a s I saw lovely Marie Bow- man teaching Spanish at V. N. I. I. She had, it seemed, lost her voice singing a jazzy hit. The next visions were of William Farinholt as foot- ball captain at Yale, John Barrett as president of the Charm School for men, and John Franklin as a salesman for the As You Like It Ice Cream Company. There was a glimpse of Whitworth Cotten who, much to my surprise, had turned out as Miss Wilkie wished. He was in Cuba where he was a dealer in ‘gin” and “rye”, but spoke espanol fluently. Later I saw Leroy Tench who had broken the record on smiling as he gives lessons for two bits per smile, and Bradley Stafford was chauffeur for Jackie Coogan. And then there was Kitty Watkins, head of the French department of Hopewell, as she was speaking on “Why Inferiors should not contradict their Superiors.” I was wondering what would come before me next when I found myself gazing into the face of William Hawkins. He was the latest movie sheik — then acting in Elinor Glyn’s “Her Hour.” Then there was an exclusive apartment owned by the “Three Glorious Strangers” — famous for breaking men’s hearts. They were Cherie Burgess, Mary Cheeley, and Ger- trude Sheffield. With them was Fred Cole as their advertis- ing manager. My eyes were suddenly dazzled by a huge advertisment in a local paper: “Arthur Dance, famous sheik, will visit town — Mothers keep your daughters at home. He will bring with him Virginia Griffin, Elizabeth Thomas, and Susie Elmore.” -•$ 74 }■ - Prophecy, June Class — Continued I saw Milton Moore in his wonderful invention, “The Flying Fliver,” and with him was his business partner, Thelma Simonson, wh o made the fliver fly. Also there was Wilbur Dishman entertaining some fair “slang slingers” -(formerly known as flappers) and Sher- wood Churn, Louise Tipton and Jack Goodman members of The Old Western Orchestra. Mademoiselles Martha Zitta and Grace Nunnally were winners of the tin cup for being the loudest singers of Paris. It seemed they had taken Broadway by storm. Later I was quite surprised to see Nannie Waymack as she gave a tea for her rich friends, Mildred Southall and Mabel Brockwell. Nannie appeared to be a reformer of the English language as she was attempting to cut out all un- necessary words. Sidney Smith had just been made president of Sears, Roebuck Co., while William Field was at Sing-Sing con- tinuing his education. During his stay William had written a famous book — “How to Break Safes Quietly,” which by this time will have made him the richest man there. And then as the camp fires grew low and the rest of our group slept under the clear skies of the desert, I looked down on the sleeping form of the Arab woman who had taken me back to my youth. Elise Brown Elise Brown in her desire to be a writer has accomplish- ed great things. She is maid for the great Elinor Glyn.

We, students of the Senior Class of the Petersburg High School, 1926, being of sound and disposing mind, do herewith make, ordain and publish this, our last will and testament, towit: Item I To Mr. H. D. Wolff, our principal, we bequeath one dic- taphone to assist him in his endless writing of sick slips on Friday afternoons. Item II To our assistant principal, Mr. James G. Scott, we do accordingly bequeath one bottle of Sta-comb to keep his flowing locks, that are forever getting into his eyes, in their right place. Item III To our most brilliant English teacher, Mr. H. A. Miller, we do hereby leave one copy of “Mother Macree,” being fully aware of his love for sentimental Irish songs. Item IV To Mr. Walter Stuart, our lovable Latin teacher, we bequeath the sum of 75 cents, said amount to be used for purchasing a Vergil Pony, so he will not have to struggle so hard in later years to get his translations correct. Item V To Miss Goodwin we leave one rattler and one horn, these to be used in amusing the dignified seniors in her seventh period Trigonometry class. Item VI To Mr. Howard Freas, our ever critical French teacher, we bequeath one cross-word puzzle book, this to be used -• §{ 92 }§e— on his trips abroad this summer to divert his attention from the modern flappers aboard his ship. Item VII To Mr. Paul Pettit we do gladly bequeath one telescope, so that hereafter he may be able to see what those mis- chievous boys are doing in the back of his classroom. Item VIII To Miss Bettie Sweeney, our cafeteria manager, we bequeath one sharp knife, said knife to be used in cutting the meat for her soup, so that John Branch will not get it all every day. Item IX To Mr. Holmes, the sergeant of the Green Troupe, we leave one pop gun, to be used in administering discipline to the members of his troupe. Item X To Miss Guerrant we bequeath one package of mints, said mints to be placed in a box at the door of her class- room and given to each boy before he enters, in order that she may no longer have to smell that awful odor of cigarette smoke. Item XI For the benefit of music lovers of Petersburg, we be- queath to Mr. D. Pinckney Powers one mallet, so there will be no more danger of him injuring his talented hands when demanding order in class. Item XII Last but not least, we bequeath Mr. A. D. Joyner, our bashful coach, one football team, to repay him for his earnest efforts in former years. Witnesseth, the hand and seal of the Senior Class of 1926, this 14th day of May, 1926.

The dead, brown leaves are piling high Beside the hill. The flowers are dead, the birds have flown And only 1 am left to moan Gay summer’s fate, And by the fire must sit alone Early and late. Through deserted streets the wind blows cold The sun is dim and like pale gold It ghost-like shows. An omen of winter bleak and bold Is the blast that blows. The davs are short and gloomy and drear; This is the evening of the year When all decays And winter comes; but spring is near Nor long delays. And, ere to summer I call, “Return,” The days of winter cold and stern Are past; and spring Comes in with flower and fern And robins sing. —ELIZABETH FALCONER. -Hgf 126 — Professor Berlenbacher’s Experiment T is with the utmost horror that I look back upon my terrible experiences of the year 1916. I had al- ways been afraid to take any strenuous exertions, because I knew my heart was not in a very good condition, but I could not get work, and when I foresaw the harrowing experiences that I must needs undergo after my last twenty dollar bill was gone, I was ready for anything, even murder, so I told myself. I stood life on that twenty dollar bill for a week, and one day I noticed a peculiar ad in the newspaper. It read : WANTED — A young man of strong build and very good health, to undergo an extraordinary experiment. The nature of the experiment will be disclosed to the first satisfactory applicant. Apply 273 North Webster Avenue, any time after 10 p. m. I knew Webster Avenue to be a very out-of-the-way, dark, dismal alley, but my needs were such that I decided to apply for the job. I got on an overhead railway, and after about an hour’s ride I came to my station. I was almost afraid to step from the train, the darkness was so intense. No light within sight, and no moon or stars overhead. I made my way to Webster Avenue, which street I had never before visited at night. In order to find number 273 I had to go into the yards of several houses and look at the numbers on them. I finally arrived at a dark, gloomy-look- ing house, and it had such a forbidding look that I reviewed the ad in the paper. Why was I requested to call after 10 p. m.? Why so much mystery? What was the secret ex- periment that no one knew of? Why had I even thought of answering such an ad? I felt like turning from that mys- terious house and going back to my well-lighted room. I finally overcame the grey fear which held me in its grasp and entered the porch through a forest of overhang- ing vines. I knocked on the door, and after perhaps three minutes had passed, the door was opened slowly by a negro. He was one of the blackest and ugliest that I had ever seen. -4 127 } - His lips protruded, and his eyes and hair actually had the semblance of a sickly greenish color to my fear-stricken mind. I showed him the paper with the ad in it and he, as if he had been given notice, led me into a narrow, unlighted room wh’ch I knew was the hall. From there he led me into a room furnished as a study. The walls were lined with shelves of closely-packed books. Scattered on the floor were open books and torn papers. In the middle of the room was a desk piled high with books and papers, beneath which one could barely see pens, pencils, and an ink well. Seated behind the desk was a man, and such a man. I shrank at the very sight of him, and trembled as his eyes rested on me. He. was enormous, and had the largest head I had ever se n. His face was one mass of tangled hair, a beard that was dirty and unkept. The top of his head was covered with such thick hair that one might place his hand upon it and the hand would sink beyond sight. His eyes, green and glittering, were fastened unmovingly upon me, and his arms were folded across his breast. In truth, he gave me the im- pression of an image, an idol, something unreal, unheard of. Then he spoke and his voice was like thunder, and his manner showed that he thought himself far superior to me. “Sit down !” I obeyed meekly. Then he resumed. “Did you ever hear of Professor Berlenbacher ?” “I have,” I answered courteously. “Well, — I am he,” he said forcefully. “What,” I cried, “you that great German scientist and chemist. I am astounded.” “Well, let that rest. Now. I have requested someone to come here very mysteriously. You have applied. Well, perhaps you will be still more astounded when you learn this secret, the reason I wish someone. You will get the iob. You will have to take it. You cannot escape after learning what I am to require of you. I have every door and every window watched. First, I will say this: If my experiment succeeds, you will receive one million dollars. If it fails, you lose everything; you will die. Now come this way.” He led me into another room which was much larger than the study. It was lined on all sides by rows of tightly- packed bottles. On a long work table running the length - €{ 131 }ik- of the right side of the room was a litter of chemical appa- ratus : retorts, generators and test tubes. In the middle of the room was an operating table. Professor Berlcnbacher led the way to the work table and pointing to a test tube half full of a reddish brown sub- stance, he said: “Smell that.” I did, and it had the vilest odor one can think of. The substance was peculiarly active, bubbles rising and falling on the surface, and in the dull glow of the single red light I could see that it was luminous. Then — “That substance will revolutionize and destroy the world at one time; some country participating in this mighty World war will be willing to pay fifty million dollars for it. It is a substance known only to myself, and the formula lies on the table in my study from which you have just come. It is a substance that will actually do the impossible, the unheard of : it will restore human life.” “What!” I exclaimed. “But, sir, you must not know what you are speaking of. That is blasphemy. Restore human life? Why, man, that is impossible.” “Perhaps the rest of the world will think the same thing,” he said with slow and measured words. “That is why I have brought you here. You shall prove it to an unbelieving public.” “Me?” I queried. “How shall I prove it?” Then from behind me came the rustle of the curtain, and, turning, I saw that vile creature who had met me at the door, standing watch. “Do you see that negro?” the Professor asked. “Well, he and ten others of his kind will force you to do that which I am about to propose if you do not act willingly. What you are to do is this : Over in the corner you will see a bottle of pure nicotine. You are to drink it. It will imme- diately kill you. Then after your heart stops beating I shall clear the poison from your system. Then I shall operate. I shall insert some of my wonderful lotion, and you will come to life again and receive your million and go on your way again. Will you do it?” “Certainly not,” I answered. “You are a maniac to ex- pect such a thing.” I hardly got the words of refusal out of my mouth be- 128 fore I was pounced upon by two negroes and borne to the floor, tied up, and then set upright in a chair. “Now perhaps you will drink the poison. Run and get it, Nebo. In the corner there,” he cried excitedly. They forced the vile burning liquid between my lips, and then I felt as if someone were turning me wrong side out. Oh, such pain! Now pins were pricking into my sides. Pain, pain, pain. I knew the poison was slowly working into my blood and killing me. Then I was paralyzed. Then my power of sight left me and then — all was blank in an instant. I was dead. Suddenly I came back to life. My senses returned one by one. I found myself lying on the couch in the middle of what had been the laboratory. It looked now as if a tornado had hit it. There had been an explosion. It had torn every- thing to pieces. On the floor about fifteen feet away from me lay the Professor — mangled, torn to pieces. I arose slowly, feeling feeble from my late experience, and as I placed my left arm to brace myself, it gave way on me and I fell back. Then I noticed on my arm near the wrist a peculiar laceration. Then — “Ah,” I said. “The Professor had just finished the operation upon me when the explosion occurred and I, being dead, was not harmed.” Then, upon turning, I saw that the doorway to the study was in flames. “The formula,” I cried excitedly. “It will be burnt up and no one will benefit from this wonderful discovery.” I rushed for the door, but the flames were too much for me, and although I tried to enter many times, I could not. Thus perished the formula and the wonderful Professor Berlenbacher together. “If I could only have gotten it,” I said, dejectedly, as I saw the ruins of the building smouldering away. —JACK GOODMAN. — «g[ 130 Crepe Myrtle ” 4 Blooms of crepe myrtle in liquid moonlight Dripping in a silvery fountain below; Pink stars floating down through the yellow night Blooms of crepe myrtle in liquid moonlight Flattering the stillness — a floating flight Settling softly on the water — so Blooms of crepe myrtle in liquid moonlight Dripping in a silvery fountain below. — GRACE NUNNALLY. 131 }§•-- Sea Hunger i.

The story ran that almost a lifetime was spent in the making of the rug. The tradi- tions and history of the maker’s tribe were so interwoven in its fabrics and its soft coloring was so exquisite, that this was not considered a fabulous price. All of us are not so fortunate as to be able to pay five thousand dollars for a carpet but there is not one of us who cannot see and walk on carpets, every day, which are much more beautiful than this, or any other carpet made by man. This statement may seem astounding at first, but what I mean is this: nature has given us the most lovely carpets in the world. What is more exquisite than a rolling meadow, in the Spring-time? The entire earth is covered o’er with a green carpet, dotted here and there by softly colored violets, lovely dandelions, brilliant buttercups, and clover. What artist has ever mixed his colors to produce a green as beautiful as nature’s grass, or a yellow as rich as the golden dande- lion ? In summer forests, beneath the massive pine trees, pine tags are woven by nature’s majestic hand into a richly colored brown carpet, and delicately tinted wild flowers sprout up here and there and become more beautified by the brown background. The sloping meadows, which extend down to the sides of the brook and seem to break off smoothly at its banks, are blended with the colors of many flowers scattered through a soft base of green. The fields of alfalfa blow to and fro with the wind, and the purple seems to move in artistic lines through the green. In the Autumn I have heard thousands of people re- mark on the beauty of the colored leaves of the trees. Un- doubtedly, the Autumn trees and the glory of their fall col- oring present a beautiful picture; if, however, this picture - 1 3 3 is closely studied and analyzed, it will be found that the most brilliant colors are not in the larger units — the trees — but in the small growths which form the carpet of the woods. Then when the earth is bleak and bare, in the chill win ter, nature again rises to the occasion and affords us the most beautiful carpet of all. She covers the hills and fields with snow. What artificial white can reach the majesty of snow? When the moon shines upon this crystal cover, it reflects every color of the rainbow and every jewel of the earth. So it is that human beings have grown to appreciate cost more than value. The value of beauty in nature’s car- pets exceeds the value of the artificial beauty of this Per- sian carpet a thousand fold, and yet few stop to see it. Na- ture changes her carpet many times in a single year, and who can judge which is the most beautiful? —WILLIAM IRVINE. -4 134 “ Day and Night “As different as day and night,” We’ve often heard people say, But look for the beautiful in both. The night as well as the day. There’s not so much difference after all Except for the sky so blue. For all day long the sun shines bright, But at night the stars peep through. For ravs of the sun make the long day bright, And the grass and flowers grow, But each tiny star gives a ray of light, To brighten the world below. The moon does all that it can to help To drive the gloom away, And the pioon and stars together make The night as lovely as day. There’s not such a difference after all When we think of the beauty there; In making the old world beautiful They both have an equal share. —SADIE USHER. 135 ] 8 - Three Poems Progress The black Tall smokestacks, Like chiseled teeth Tear at the purple sunsets, Blotting out the flight of birds — With belching smoke.

H ILL DAWSON, the repair man, rode forward to the edge of Hollow Canyon, five hundred feet below, a yellow mass of of foam, marked Hollow River, rippling under the wrecked bridge. To the east lay the forest, while up from the western horizon rose the blue peaks of the Rockies. The broken nails told their own story, one hanging over the edge of the precipice, the other snapped short. Back of the main line the work en- gine was preparing for its task. The Fiber was viewing the disaster. Tall and big-boned, he looked what he was — a product of the outdoors. His khaki shirt was open at the neck, and even his high cut Stet- son had lost its original color. His face was a wise, compas- sionate, kind face. Now, as he sat gazing into the canyon when only a day before had been swept away a half million dollar structure, a gray smile came on his face. Perhaps he was thinking that it had happened for the best. All his life had been spent in re- painting bridges and trestles, and fighting the enemies of the bridges. Adjusting his field glasses, Bill examined the wreckage — at the bottom of the canyon — twisted girders, steel rails and heaps of sandstone. He saw where the sandstone had crumbled, sending the bridge hurling to utter destruction. There he saw he could profit by the other fellow’s mistake. His new bridge would rest on concrete piers. After his inspection, Bill rode slowly back toward the wrecking train. Already his plows were in his mind, and tomorrow he would try them out. The camp was very still in the clear, pure air, which characterizes a night in the Rockies. From the South came the mournful howl of a coy- ote ; from the East the morn began slowly rising. At about 9 o’clock he heard somebody dismounting out- -Hfi( 137 }i - side his tent, and the next moment a woman’s voice asked, “Is the Repair Man here?” The light from the moon plainly revealed a girl in rid- ing clothes, a slim figure. “Yes, ma ' am,” he replied, “I’m the Repair Man.” He invited her into his tent, gave her his only chair, and asked her what she came for. Bill was not that type of man that sought women’s company, yet as he glanced at her, he experienced a thrill of pleasure. She was pretty, with the beauty of the out-of- doors. Her face appeared alive by the pale light of the moon. He admired her at once. “So you are the man who is going to rebuild Hallow Canyon bridge?” “Yes, ma’am, as quickly as possible.” She hesitated a moment as if to think of something to say. “I’m Nellie Holmes. My father owns a ranch north of here. I have often heard about you, and I thought per- haps you could — could help me.” “I’ll do anything in my power to aid you, ma’am,” he said quietly. She looked up into his weather-beaten face. “Do you need a foreman, Mr. Dawson ? Could you use a man to help build the bridge?” He filled his pipe before replying. “Are you speaking of yourself?” She laughed slightly, with an embarrassing attitude. “I — I’m asking for a friend.” “Why doesn’t he come and ask for himself?” he asked. She spoke in a different tone of voice. “He will come — tomorrow. He doesn’t know I’m here now. I’ve heard that you have the reputation of making something out of people. I want you to help him. He changes so much — won’t stick to one thing. A second Coleridge, so to speak. Perhaps you can repair him as well as the bridge.” -■$ 138 }; •- “So you love him?” he asked. “No!” she answered. “I might if he had any ambition and would at least stick to anything. Will you give him a chance?” “Yes,” answered Bill. “Send him around.” After she had gone, he suffered loneliness for the first time. The howl of the coyote was no longer friendly. The next day the crew started to work at daybreak. As morning looked down on the golden canyon, it saw a crew of men attacking the twisted girders, and fastening them to the wrecking cranes, which had been run to the very edge of the cliff. A dozen teams hauled supplies to the crew. Here Raymond Conrad found Bill smoking his pipe and supervising the work. “My name’s Raymond Conrod, Mr. Dawson,” he said. “I need a job.” Bill nodded. “Do you think you can use me?” “Yes, I can use you, but I advise you not to take it. It’s mighty dangerous and er — ” “I’m not looking for an easy job,” Conrad interrupted. “I need money.” “Come around tonight, young fellow,” Bill said. “We’ll talk it over.” That evening, as they sat near the tent door, the re- pair man looked toward the scene of destruction. “Looks like a useless proposition, doesn’t it? Run a few trains over it, and the thing falls through. Of course, some of us are not working for the job’s sake as much as for the money that’s in it. Conrad, you ought to save your money so when the right girl comes along you can marry her.” “She came!” the other said. “But I’m through with women. I couldn’t get enough money. Ever since I was a baby I’ve had the wanderlust. Couldn’t stay in one place. I’ve tried many ways to make a living, but something hap- pens and I quit.” -••egf 139 “Then why take a job with me?” asked Bill. “Because I’m going to make good,” he replied. “You’re hired — on one condition — that you will stay until the bridge is completed.” Bill placed Raymond in charge of the wrecking crew across the canyon, after discovering that his new man was a very efficient engineer. Nellie would come over from her father’s ranch and spend a part of each day watching the progress of the bridge. Bill often mentioned Raymond’s name and hinted how well he was holding down his job. Raymond still loved Nellie (in his heart) and often he made the trip across the canyon to see her. One day Bill received a hurried call to the canyon. One of the five-ton girders had broken the chain, and was hang ing over the canyon by the guy ropes. As Dawson reached the cliff, he saw the trouble. A huge girder, one used to span the canyon, had broken from the crane. Beneath it were the cement forms. The only possible chance was in lowering a man by cable to hook on a chain before the guy ropes broke. Bill looked down and saw a figure already climbing down a rope to the chasm. It was Raymond. Immediately Bill Dawson grabbed the rope, and went down behind him. Now only a few strands of rope held the steel. He landed beside Conrad and they succeeded in fastening the cables to the girder. Bill waved his hand to the crew above. The little engine puffed, and brought the structure once more to solid earth. Dawson and Conrad rode back to camp on their comrades’ shoulders. One day the Repair Man stood in his tent and gazed about. Everything was different now. The cranes, work cars, and cement mixers were gone, and the engineer was ready to face the scene of his next battle. A locomotive rushed by, closely followed by Nellie, who had come to say good-bye. -h 140 }§«••- As she reached him, she said, “Don’t you think this is a wonderful feat you’ve completed?’’ Bill nodded. “I reckon so. You weren’t wrong when you sized Raymond up for a man,” he continued slowly. “Maybe you didn’t hear about him.” Then the engineer told her what had happened a few days before. “But look what you did,” she said. “You were a thou- sand times more heroic. Raymond was brave — but you were— oh, you know what I think of you.” Raymond had left the preceding morning, and Nellie had received a letter, part of which read : . . . . “you only loved trying to help me. I hope you can find a man you love as he is, without reconstructing him. Raymond.” “I suppose you want to know my answer,” she said. Without waiting for an answer, she said, “I told him that I have found the other man — they call him the Repair Man.” —BERRY MOORE. 141 }W- “The Sunset ” When Apollo with his fiery steeds, Draws to the end of his journey bright, And sinking over the borderland Floods the earth in reflected light. Fringing the silver clouds with gold, Bathing the earth in a misty rose, The blue attains a purple hue, And the world rests in a calm repose. And in its dying rays we see, The greatest glory of the sun. As the glory of a great man’s work, Comes when his life is done. MARY BRADSHER.

To Whom It May Concern ' . To write jokes is no easy task for the writer. It goes even harder on the reader. The fact is that the writer is the only one that can see the point. Besides that, there’s somebody who “has always heard that stale stuff before,” and there you are. If you don’t like these jokes, don’t read them, and if the joke’s on you, don’t get mad about it, but laugh it off, for it’s only a joke after all. If you don’t get the point, go sit on a tack. Yours, KING TUT, The Joking Nut. P. S. — This is not the Virginia Reel under disguise. If you think the jokes are dirty, give them a bath. go’s Yer Ole Man. --■sgf 148 Vj I— Mr. Miller and Mr. Scott Mr. Mill er told our English class to write a story dealing with at- mosphere as found in nature. Some wit, who prefers to keep his name anonymous, handed in the following “short” story: Four animals went to a circus — a pig, a frog, a duck, and a skunk. All obtained admission except one. The pig had four quarters, the frog had a greenback, and the duck had a bill, but the poor skunk only had a (s) cent, and that was a bad one. Miss Guerrant (asking questions about the Indian reservation): “Do the Indians have any social groups?” Bill Hawkins ' . “Certainly, haven’t you ever heard of the Indian Clubs?” Berry Moore ' . “Why does your gal always write to you with green ink? ” Charlie Ridenour ' . “That’s just a little hint as to how jealous she is.” 1+9 }? - “ A Matter of T aste 4 ( “The cities are wrong,” the artist cried, “In them the essence of truth has died; In making money men lose their love For beauty in nature and things above.” “The country’s the place where nature gains The applause the city man disdains. Those simple men unlearned in school, Can study beauty when eve is cool.” Forthwith to the country the artist went; To study the farmers was his intent, To get their reactions to nature’s lore, — - Why hadn’t he thought of this before? That day at sunset he chanced to meet — - A laborer walking on tired feet, Homeward toward the setting sun — - The artist stopped him, and thus begun, “Have you noticed the sun on that beautiful bank Of colorful clouds piled rank on rank With its rays the color of ripening grain?” “Yes,” drawled the farmer, “that means rain.” —VIRGINIA GILLIAM. — •{ 1 5 0 After studying Shakespeare’s works for three years, most of us have learned many quotations from time to time.

The Queen, now full of eight, grabbed a club from a tray. The King, however, being an “ace” at thinking, eight a big supper. Act III. The King failed to win, so he resorted to trumps. He gave the Queen seven tens, and bid her quit her tricks. This set him back a great deal, so he made a grand slam by kissing her.
