This ii is only natural, as they have taken active part in the life of the school and have been represented in the school's diverse activities. In this matter we confidently feel that the February Class of 1927 has not been found lacking. ln various departments of school life this class has gone forward. Any one who might have visited our class rooms or laboratories could easily have divined that here was some independent thinking going on, and not parrot-like studying and memorizing. Then, let us go into detail and trace, step by step, just to what extent our senior class has been prominent through its representatives in the school activities. First comes athletics. ln the realm of football, the honor of his class has been upheld by Hampton Burks, star lines- man of much experience. ln basketball, we have brought forth Charles Curtice, known of last year, and Aubie Pond and Malcolm Pilcher, this year's aspirants. ' There is much to tell about the different societies. The Hi-Y Club and the Junior Hi-Y both contain a number of seniors. . Aubie Pond has made a good president of the first Physics Club, with Charles XVills as secretary. Several others of the class were enrolled in this society. The lV-H Civics Club is presided over bv VVilliam Gross- mann, Who was once head of the Spanish Club. Both the Page and the Daniel Literary Societies have contained representatives of our class. The Square Circle Club contained several of our girls. -vb?-if 61 144+- Q FEBRUARY CLASS H1sToRY-Continued Let us not forget the Green Troopers, who have claimed various of our classmatesg nor let us overlook the Mono- gram Club, the Athletic Association or Student Council, which have been indebted to us from time to time for a part of their personnel. Nor have the line arts been overlooked in our class, for in 1926 our attractive Alice Stinson won first place in a na- tional poster contest put on by the W. C. T. U. Also Nlil- dred Baxter fittingly honors us with her musical ability, hav- ing rendered piano selections over the radio. Before closing, we cannot fail to dwell upon a few other personages whose accomplishments bear recording. Harvey Seward was president of this class when we were only 1V-L's. Edward Collier, in a courtesy contest, held in 1925, was one of the winners. - YVil1iam Grossmann was once secretary of a public speak- ing society. ln the spring of 1926 he served well as city editor of the School Yveekly News, and in the fall of 1926 he became editor-in-chief of the lVlissile. ln 1924 Richard Jackson, one of our talented Writers, won third place in Virginia in a national safety essay contest. Osborne Birdsong, ,noted as a scholar, was once a vice- president in a public speaking society, and has served on the staffs of both the Missile and Roulette, 1 And last, but certainly not least, comes the president of our senior class, Louise Pilcher. ln 1926 she served as president of the 1V-L Civics Club. She was one ofa quintet of good cheer leaders for the 1926 football season. At the same time she held a place on the l'lVIissile staff. And now, having turned, for a time, to look back over our four short years of high school life, let us turn again to what is yet to come and cast our eyes down the long rough road of life which lies before us, and plan in what manner each will make his attack on it. Charles Lunsford Wills. -wwf 62 :INN- ,1 Woutsrrsf CLASS HISTORY R? JUNE CLASS E are nearing the close of our four years in P. I-I. S. The closing of th-eplast term of school has alvvays been deeply signihcant to all who Were leaving, and now it is supremely signihcant to us. Our class was well represented in all of the school ath- letics. George Cameron was captain of the football team of 1926. Fletcher Yvright served as manager. ln basket- ball Allan Ramsey was captain, and George Cameron and John lVIeade were on the team. Three of the boys played baseball-Allan Ramsey Ccaptain, '26 and ,27j, John Ayers, and George Cameron. Among the girls were Kath- leen I-Iennessey, captain for two years, and Elizabeth llones, manager and a member of the basketball team. In the Athletic Association, Kathleen Hennessey was vice-presi- dent, and Elizabeth Jones Was secretary. In the Page Literary Society, Irene Bernard was presi- dent, and Elizabeth Jones vice-president. There were many representatives in the Daniel Literary Society, with Edward Yvyatt and John Meacle each serving a term as president, Richard NIeade as secretary and treas- urer, and John lVIeade and Edward Ivyatt each as vice- president. A member of our class, George Cameron, was president of the Student Council, and Irene Bernard was secretary. The Chemistry Club, a new club, has Francis Robertson as its president. The Civics and History Clubs had many members from our class. The Civics Club had Irene Bernard as vice-presi- dent, and Arthur Lee Tipton as secretary and treasurer. Elizabeth Jones was president, and Flora lNIartin secretary and treasurer of the History Club. In the I-Ii-Y Club, George Cameron was president. -+941 63 M- li i R'OULEiTT5l JUNE CLASS H1sToRY-Continued lN'lz1ny members of our class were in the Square Circle Club. lnhznbeth Jones was president, Flora lVlurtm vice- president, and hhzabeth Dunn secretary and treasurer. Nlany of our class were on the Roulette staff. Rich- z1rd Nleade was editor-in-chief of the lVlissile, with many members of our Class on the stuff. The editor-in-Chief of the School VVeekly Newsl' was Edward VVyz1tt. We trust that this history of the June class of '27 will show that We have tried to do our best in every Way to up- hold the high stzmdards made by former classes. VVe hope that it may be an inspiration to those who follow to do bet- ter and greater things. Nlargaret VVheary.

The great panel was open, the apparatus ready. Rabi 'lNow, boy, tonight l prove the prophetic power of stars. This is the climax of my life's work, the professor said. Slowly he turned the great telescope toward the heavens, now bespecked with twinkling stars. Nervously he pressed his eye to the instrument. From that minute things happened in such quick succes- sion l scarcely know how to relate them. . Look, boy! llve proved it,'l the professor cried joy- fully, and l eagerly thrust my eye to the telescope. lnstead of stars, there seemed to be a huge city, or, better to say, a miniature world. Great excitement possessed the people there. The door opened to a balcony and out step- ped our old friend Billy Beach, newly elected mayor of the city of Hopewell. t ln the midst of the flowery oration from Billy a great commotion was seen in the crowd. l recognized Birdsong, neatly attired in the latest style for policemen, rushing to arrest Guy Retter, wearer of a haystack beard and dis- beveled hair, who was attempting to cast a bomb at the un- fortunate mayor. l shifted the telescope. Harvey Seward was wandering pitifully up and down the street, trying to sell copies of her poems for a living. A little farther up this street I was surprised to see Louise Pilcher on a soap box, lecturing in behalf of the YV. C. T. U. Beside her stood lyllildred Baxter grinding away on a little organ to attract the crowd. -+1-Nj: 68 ye- U1 Rioiui..e1'-ref s FEBRUARY CLASS PRoPHEoY-Continued Penetrating into the door of a neat shop, l discovered Alice Stinson busily at work. XVhat was she doing? Ah! she was painting a portrait and tending to other affairs of her shop. Again fixing the apparatus, l scanned a great poster and read the following glaring letters: Bowery and Blanks, the Bathing Beauty Belles, in a Beautiful Ballet Review. Looking closer, l saw Bubber Collier taking the tickets and ushering for the show. Suddenly the lens showed nothing but hats, canes, shoes, etc. VVhen the missiles died down I saw Charlie Wills Win over Richard Jackson in a ten-round bout for the world's championship. My attention was attracted by a young lady, rushing here and there and pouncing upon poor, harmless little bugs. On second look, this proved to be Spencer XVatkins, now Miss Cooper's assistant. A crowd was gathering about a large medicine tent, and I saw that Lillian Spain and Annis Milby were posing as tak- ing Bozel's Mush Medicine. 'XVilliam Bozel, by the way, was busy distributing his liquid, which was going at a fast rate. In a cozy corner of a shady porch l discovered lVfackyl' Pilcher, and straining my eyes l read upon a badge fastened to his coat, Official Mattress Tester. 'LMacky was peacefully sleeping on a new bed, while Nellie Royal gently fanned him with a feather fan. A cab, rushing madly through the streets, was seen to be driven by a familiar friend. On coming closer, l recog- nized Hampton Burks, who had finally realized his ambi- tion to be a successful Whack driver. l was puzzled to see what first appeared to be a human telegraph machine, but which proved later to be Florence Lubman, acting as interpreter for a touring party. sexi 69 15451- ig e FEBRUARY CLASS PROPHECY-Continued The greatest surprise of all was lvlarvel lVIcCann as a telephone operator. Focusing the lens into a window of a second story, I hap- pened to observe Olive Callis and Alice Gallion in the act of coaching young gallants in the art of successful love-making. l looked long at the sight of Daisy XVells giving calis- thenics to the men of the P. H. S. faculty. Upon a platform in the midst of a cheering throng sat Aubie Pond, the president of the Royal Academy of Science, distinguished for his research work in physics while in the wilds of Ettricks. 'A Busily at work before a desk piled high with papers sat ljdith Richardson, editor of the Whiz-l3ang. I arranged the apparatus. Along a country road, seated on a white mule, came Alice Smith, county supervisor of edu- cation. As Alice slowly traveled along on this animal, l noticed her salute a red-headed individual, the color of whose hair caused her face to reflect a deep red. This was Katherine Thweatt, agricultural supervisor of Pocohontas, on her way to explain to 2 group of gentlemen the proper tilt of a plow in order to oLtain best results. Once more I regulated the telescope. Lo and behold! there was Hattie Johnson, tennis champion of WVest End Park, explaining the fine points of her game to Helen Wills, recently defeated by Johnson herself. l rubbed my eyes, for Louise Pilcher was allowing some one else to talk, while VVilliam Bozel was giving away a piece of cake. Then l beheld lVIr. Miller and Eddie Guest, who were writing a volumn of poems together. Something was wrong. Of course, it was--the telescope had broken, and the professor fell dead at the ruination of his precious instrument without ever knowing the service he rendered the February class of 1927.

ROUL.ETTEf t PROPHECY R9 JUNE CLASS Es N my last attempt to swim the English Channel I iL,, f ' became so weary of my task l knew I could not survive much longer. Presently I felt myself E gradually sinking, but a timely mermaid appeared on the scene and conducted me safely to her palace. The mermaid was hospitality itself. She served me a cup of chocolate and seated me beside a hot fire. ln front of me was a screen, such as one sees in a cinema. ' I will entertain you, my dear, said the lovely mermaid, With a picture show. l have a film which will show the future of yourself and your many friends. I-low intensely interesting, l exclaimed, now quite at ease. The mermaid, with considerable bustle and importance, at last flashed a startling picture upon the screen. A courtly scene appeared, in which an old man was the center of at- traction. l readily recognized him as Polonius, portrayed to perfection by Elizabeth Nloore, since there was a scarcity of men. How well she acted the part! She was talking earnestly to the court jester, Anna Lou Dodd. Each was trying hard to outwit the other. WVith a flicker of lights, the scene changed, showing the Woolwortli building in New York. There was a speck on the building which was scarcely discernible, a close-up of the object proved it to be Richard Meade, who was now the king of human flies. Ear, far below, John lVleade and Dorris Nloore, who had by this time elected themselves guardians of Richard, were holding a large net in case the Uflyl' should fall. Observing this huge building more closely, I saw seated on one of the Window-sills Flora Nlartin, who was working very fast, knowing that the more windows she washed, the more pennies she would get. ' 4Hf71144+- ., 1' R'0ULEITEl JUNE CLASS PROPHECY-COMfiMM6d Down in the basement, Frank Lum was busy firing the furnace. Poor Frankl the heat must have taken the wave from his hair. Annette Crowder had been promoted to head of the scrub womenls union and was at that time lecturing on the Harts of scrubbing. Emily Nunally was discharging her duty well as chief operator. lt seems as if she listened to all conversations. Fletcher Nvright, from his actions, must have been very proud of his job as floor-sweeper, though he might expect to be hred most any time by Vvalter Dodge, general manager of the legal department. How l would like to go into details in describing the va- rious scenes, but time is scarce and l can only give a brief synopsis of what l saw on that eventful day. lrene Bernard, having taken on considerable weight, has become the fat lady of Barnum and Bailey Circus. Horace lVIann maintains the title of the world's highest diver, while Allan Ramsey and Johnny Ayers have charge of the monkey speedway. Nlargaret Baxter, Elizabeth lVIauney, and Helen Gallion are disguised as the three musketeers in the side show. Herbert'Bishop performs dangerous stunts with a sword, while Cullen Baxter pounds on the steam piano. Josephine Moomaw has a stand all to herself, where she is engaged in a prohtable business, selling her poetical works. Sue Collier, with her VVhit,l' attracts huge crowds to her free performances. Gertrude Blumberg, because she is not afraid of snakes, knowing just how to handle Snaky, is the queen of all snake charmers. The scenes, changing from time to time, showed the grad- uates doing their respective work.

Louise Emory is experimenting in beauty culture. lfVhile she works on facial beauty, Katherine Bishop manicures the nails. Annette Stone makes a good salary teaching classical dancing. l'Buck Tipton has become a professional baseball player, recently distinguishing himself in a world series game be- tween New York and WVashington. Risque Plummer, as he always was lazy, is driving a trol- ley bus so he won't have to walk. Sophie Bowman is making her debut in New York society, but personally l know that Petersburg has greater charms for her. Sara Chapman is a graduate nurse at the old maids, home. George Cameron, by his keen observation of the symp- toms of love, has risen to one of the worldls greatest heart specialists, and was at that time telling Elizabeth Jones a sure way to win his love. Sara VVice is Petersburg's Shirley Dale. Virginia Blackwell, as she is musically inclined, is now an old maid vocal teacher. A Clinton Aldridge is the high school's janitor, and l know there's no complaint of the heating system now.

RiOULETT5f The HISTORY of the ANNA P, BOLLING JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL Ri' ' N February 1, 1927, a magnificent creation of arch- itectural skill opened its doors, and received the school children that came through its portals for T' the first time. The new Anna P. Bolling Junior High School welcomed her pupils. The history of a school may easily be traced in the prog- ress of the people of the town in which it lies. Por, as a people prosper and multiply, so do its educational needs. Although it is true that the students compose the school, a most important factor in the making of a good school system is adequate provision of school buildings and equip- ment. The city of Petersburg has made provision for school buildings in keeping with its support in other par- ticulars. As early as 1908 the need of better school buildings in Petersburg was felt. The first modern building erected in Petersburg to care for the grammar grades was the Duncan Nl. Brown School, built in that year. This, incidentally, was one of the first modern school buildings in the state. The Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson school buildings fol- lowed in 1910-1911, and in 1914 the A. P. Hill School was built. This urge for better and more commodious housing fa- cilities was soon felt in the High School. Thus in 1911 the High School moved from the quarters that it had occupied on Union Street, at the present site of the Y. 1VI. C. A., into the old Anderson building on XVashington Street. This soon proved inadequate and was replaced in 1917-18 by the splendid building which we now have. -api 95 ya- 1- 25. c ln 1919 the building needs ofthe city schools were so Well met that the State School Survey reported that Petersburg easily led the state in this respect. No further building was necessary, then, for several years. But it is interesting to note that during this period the school enrollment increased rapidly until the school provision which was so excellent in 1919 became woefully inadequate. ln 1921, to meet the crowded conditions, five two-room buildings were erected on the High School grounds. Tem- porary structures at A. P. Hill, R. E. Lee, Duncan NI. Brown were also builtg and the auditorium of the Lee and Brown schools were converted into classrooms. Tl.- 0-1, ,1 'D..,...J If-.....'.Lj.. 1 i ,-4-I ' P -I ga ior high school building on the old Peabody lot, at the corner of Fillmore and l-larrison Streets. Since S140,000 had already been provided for this purpose, the City Coun- cil appropriated the additional flil60,000 which was neces- sary for the project. Final plans and specifications were submitted by the archi- tect and approved by the School Board on July 31, 1925. .fl contract for the erection of the building was let to the lflarwood Construction Company on September 15, 1925. Vllork was started on October 1, -1925, and completed be- fore February 1, 1927. It was decided by a unanimous vote to name the new junior high school the Anna P. Bolling Junior High School,'1 in recognition of the faithful and eflicient services of Nliss Anna Bolling as a teacher and high school prin- cipal in the city. This selection Won the praise of all Who knew lVliss Anna Bolling, Who served, under Richard NI. Cai-y's superintendency, from 1868 until 1907, when she resigned. The completed building is a handsome structure of three stories, ornamented by an impressive semi-circular entrance with heavy stone columns and massive arches. lVith excel- lent inside facilities, it is a modern junior high school, com- paring favorably with any in the South. lt handles the sixth, seventh and eighth grades. ln June, 1926, the news was made public of the appoint- ment of lVlr. James G. Scott as principal of the new school. lVlr. Scott has taught in the High School since 1911 and has been assistant principal of it since 1920. - The Anna P. Bolling Junior High School marks another milestone passed in the road of education in Petersburg. It is a monument to the mental alertness of the School Board and to the constructive spirit of the city. The people of Petersburg have added one more foundation to the reputa- tion of the old f'Cockade Cityu of having one of the best school systems in the South. May we of the next gen- eration keep that reputation as untarnished as those crea- tors of the Anna P. Bolling High School did in this.

Scott, former assistant principal of the Petersburg High School, and principal of the Anna P. Bolling Junior High School, left us in February. Ig,L ., y ' J ' f more coming to l. H. S., Mr. Scott taught in the 'VVoodlawn Seminary. John Nlarshall High School, our old rival, the Sixth Vvard School of Petersburg, and one srmmer in the State Teachers' College, Harrisonburg, Virginia. He then came to the Petersburg High School and taught Mathematics when lvlr. lVolff was head of that department. Later, when lVIr. VVolff was made principal, he was appointed the head of the Mathematics department. Soon after that he was chosen assistant principal: and now lVIr. Scott has Won the distinctive honor of being appointed principal of the Junior High School of this city. VVe think that the students of the Petersburg High School will feel lost without the companionship of Mr. Scott. Never is there a time when he is not willing to help a pupil, even though it may in- convenience him. llflr. Scott is always fair and square, and ready to see the student's side of everything. This is one of the many reasons he is so popular, and why we object to giving him up. LOT VVe wish luck to the teachers who also leave old P. H. S. this season to teach in the Bolling School. They have served the stu- dents well, and we give a vote of warm thanks for their service. We, therefore, say adieu and God speed to: Nliss Elma Holloway Bliss Bessie H.

RYOULETTEI FOOTBALL SEASON, 1926 E HE footballg season whas more of ga' -' a success t is ear t an a mere glance at the slcores would indi- cate. Those who have kept up with the team in each game and have followed its records would readily ad- mit this. Considering the light weight and inexperience of the majority of the men and the fact that most of the games were with high schools that have a much larger student body to choose from or with college reserves, they made a re- markably fine showing and one that the entire school should ,feel proud of. Several individuals on the team be- came locally famous for their ability to play football, and much heretofore un- known football skill was brought to light. The season was opened with a splen- did and hard-fought victory over Hope- well by the score of 13 to 6. Hopewell succeeded in carrying the ball across the goal first, but a little later the score was tied, and in the last few minutes of play the P. H. S. boys shoved across the win- ning touchdown. ln the second game the Petersburg squad was less fortunate, and lVIaury emerged victorious by a large score. VVhile several times they succeeded in getting the ball to within a few yards of the goal line, the P. H. S. boys were never able to carry it across, and the game ended with lVlaury holding the large end of a 33 to 0 score. ln the third game the story Was very similar to the second. The Petersburg lads were again unable to score against a much heavier team, and McGuire's wi 104 yr- Aa carried off the laurels to the tune of 33 to 0. In each and every defeat, however, the spirit and splendid fight shown by the Petersburg boys was a shining light, and gave much. consolation to the fol- lowers of the Marooxm and Black squad. In the next game the P. H. S. boys met their worst defeat of the season at the hands of Portsmouth. This game was played at Portsmouth, and probably this had a great deal to do with the sizeof the score. After another splen- did but losing light by the local boys, Portsmouth won by a 40 to 0 score. The University of Richmond Fresh- men were the next foes met by the local lads, and the U. of R. Freshies also suc- ceeded in gaining a victory at the ex- pense ofthe P. H. S. team . This time the score was very close, and the out- come was uncertain until the game ended with the score standing at 7 to 2 against P. H. S. John Nlarshall was the next team en- countered by P. H. S., and on account of the ancient rivalry between the two schools each was especially anxious for a victory. While putting up even a bet- ter iight than in some of the other games, the P. H. S. boys were again un- able to gain a victory, and John Mar- shall returned home proud of its 31 to 7 triumph. Football hostilities were renewed Armistice Day, when the Hampden- Sidney Reserves were met. Again the Crimson YVaVe made an unsuccessful attempt at victory, and this game went on the wrong side of the ledger by the score of 12 to 0. A -4bf105I0- 'IIA e 4' P if Ro U L ET TE! In the next game, however, the Crimson Wave experi- enced a change of fortune. Blackstone was the first victim after the change of luck, and the P. H. S. boys saw lit to hand them out a 14 to 0 defeat. The game with Emporia furnished a line conclusion for the 1926 season, when the P. H. S. boys won a splendid vic- tory by the score of 13 to 7. This was a very hard-fought fray, and one in which the winners took much pride. VVhile saying that a team which Won only three of nine games does not sound so Well, all things being considered, the season can be termed a success. WRIGIIT, Manager -of 106 1+ School Songs EQ?

At the beginning of the season, Coach Day, new at P. H. S., with a raw, inexperienced team, faced one of the toughest schedules that a Goober quint has ever encoun- tered. Of last yearls team, only two letter men remained, Barnes and Ramsey. Captain Ramsey, the leader of the new team, proved a mainstay on defense and the main cog in the offensive work of the team in every game. Barnes, last year's stellar center, was forced to drop out in the first part of the season, due to pressing studies. Andrews stepped into the breach and made himself indispensable at getting the tap at center. Aside from his sterling work in this position, Andrews exhibited such a fondness for the basket that he was high scorer for the season. In the fight for the positions at guard, Enniss and Ayers, out for the team for the first time, emerged victorious. They showed splendid fight and were aggressive in getting the ball off the back-board. The team was ably represented at forward by a fast-stepping, sure-shooting trio, in Swearingen, Rob- ertson and Pilcher. These boys scored a majority of the team's points and worked together in perfect unison. Un- der the handicap of inexperience, this team developed into a smooth-working machine that went through its schedule like one composed of veterans. ln the whole playing season of twenty stiff games, P. H. S. bowed appreciably to only four teams. The pow- erful, seasoned quints from John Nfarshallg W0Od1'OW Wil- son, Maury and Newport News decisively defeated the -01112 144'- Ron LETTEY gs 'lCrimson VVave in hotly contested games. Day's charges showed their strength in wins over such strong teams as Blackstone lVlilitary Academy, lVIcGuire's, Suffolk and South Boston. Hopewell was twice snowed under hy large scores, and the hall found the hasket many times in huge Wins over Dinwiddie and Ashland. All followers of the local basketball team are decidedly encouraged by the showing made this year. Une has only to rellect a bit to feel likewise. Last year the team was composed wholly of letter men. This year only one Veteran was left to play throughout a season of twenty games, in- cluding the strongest teams in the State. VVe are not making predictions, but we do wish to intimate that our opponents next year had better hustle if they wish to cope with the P. H. S. basketeers. -JOEL E. cox. . 6 a CAPTMN Ramsay I --of 113 144+- GIRLS' BASKETBALL TEAM R10ULETTEl Dec. jun. jun. jan. -Inu. jan. Feb. Feb. Feb.

The purpose of this article is to give a brief resume of the baseball season ot 1926 in order to per- petuate the record of the team in the annals of P. H. S. The team of '26 was made up of much new material, since many letter-men were lost by graduation. As Petersburg had entered the Virginia League, the ball park could not be secured for practice. This was a handi- capg yet the team went to work with a will. Our first game was with Hopewell. P. H. S. came out of this game on the short end of a 15 to 14 score. lxvlaury and Dinwiddie also won from us by the scores nf 9 to 2 and 8 to 2, respectively. However, in the next game the boys defeated Chester by the overwhelming score of l4 to 2. VVhen Chester came to Petersburg later in the season, they were again defeated, this tinle hy the shut-out score of 4 to O. Qui' team was not very successful against the old rival, John hflarshall, being defeated in two games, 8 to 3 and 11 to 3. ln the hrst game our pitcher, Phil Baxter, al- lowed only two hits, but his team-mates gave him poor support. ln the last two games of our schedule, we were defeated by Crewe in an eleven-inning game by the score of 5 to 4, and we won from Hopewell, 6 to 4. The season ended with the total of four games won and five lost. Although this record was not as good as that of past years, the team played its best in every game and de- serves much praise.

I He grew to manhood in an atmosphere of ivy-clad and square-brick houses and dim and shaded streets, for old Judge Barbour had saved enough from the unhappy period to insure that his wife and son would be well cared for When he himself departed by way of the alcoholic route. And so the boy prepared for the bar and looked forward to the time when he would enter the profession inherited from ten generations of men who had followed Blackstone. At twenty-one he won his lirst case on the Hustings of his county. Fifty dollars the wealthier, he went home to cele- brate with a decanter of French brandy. Thirty found him much as all of Iohn BZ'L1'l3OU1',S fathers had been at that age, although the mysterious court of honour which had made them colonels and judges had not titled him. He had not lived Without fault: the blood of a race which had too often known Helds of honour had led him to murder, but the memory of old Judge Barbour, dead, had worked like magic on the minds of those who were to determine the fate of John Berkeley Barbour. The jury reckoned that Berkeleys and Barbours were Berkeleys and Barbours, and that twelve men, largely bakers and merchants, had no jurisdiction over one so lofty. They acquitted him. VVith an innate superiority complex, John Barbour be- came inordinately self-centered, and at the same time hope- lessly involved in financial diflicufties. It was then that the instincts handed down from a long line of betting ancestors led him to the street,', where within four years he squan- dered all that he had in the way of cash resources. ln the meanwhile, he had married Betty Claiborne of New Kent. She had spent one year receiving John Barbour -.af 14114- 14 . as 7 on her father's plantation and wondering whether the charming Matoaca Dale of Richmond or herself would captivate the handsome yet prodigal man who frequently stopped over on his trips from the coast to his home. After the cash went, a mortgage was placed on the gray mansion in Nlain Street. Then, in a last effort to retrieve his fortune, he sold a thousand acres of worn-out land and straggling pines, land that had belonged to his wifeg and poor Betty Barbour, who had been Betty Claiborne, of New Kent, spent most of her time manipulating figures in order that she Wouldn't have to creep to the keyhole and wailt for the bill collectors to pass uncertainly down the wal: ln a childish stand of dying pride she signed her name Betty Claiborne Barbour. John Barbour saw it, fortified himself with drinks, and then went home to break Persian vases and Chippendale chairs. Meanwhile, his wife hov- ered at the windows until she saw him stagger down the steps and off down the street. Aunt Tabitha Barbour had once told Miss Parthenia Claiborne that the Berkeleys were Hdemocratic aristocrats, and Miss Parthenia had told her sister Mittie that it meant they had a common streak. At any rate, the ability to appeal to all classes had meant much to the Berkeley Bar- bours in politics. It was an inherent trait that when his own family were unpleasant -lohn Barbour would seek an- other element, another caste, in the river end. As soon as his anger had been replaced by self-pity, he Went to a saloon and emptied his purse to fill a dozen men who hung around the wharves and taverns like river rats. Then he went on to talk with them, his eloquence stirred by the recently imbibed nectar. The topics ranged from inter- national affairs to fire plugs. Occasionally, john Berkeley Barbour would make some remark which went from mouth to mouth, and fat men with more dollars and less ancestry would laugh over the words. 011 this particular day John Barbour stumbled on a sub- ject which was taboo in his own home, blood and aristocracy. Such a thing was taken for granted in Barbour homes. No -+0f14814lf- WO u LE TTEl. ff-45 one ever knew just how it happened, but some said it was a furnace Stoker,-one with evident socialistic inclinations, -who beat John Barbour with his fists, in the middle of what was intended for a discourse on the virtue of aris- tocracy. By much crawling and dragging John Barbour got him- self home and fell on the floor of the veranda. He lay there with the blue moonlight sifting through the Wisteria upon him. The tall white columns were cathedral candles against a background of gray walls, and Paul Neyrom roses were the flowers of his rosary. The damp parlour was opened and aired. The long black table was cleared of its heavy Bible and ancient bric-a- brac that John Berkeley Barbour, of Poplar Grove, might lie there. On giving up her house Betty Barbour went from one hallroom to another, from one old house to others. She lived by baking cakes and making miles of tatting and knit- ting caps for babies that gurgled at her from masses of silk and down. She would look listlessly at them, then put her checks or coins in her purse. Her mind would go back through the years, and she would wonder how long it would be before the dashing John Berkeley Barbour would come down to New Kent, and whether or not he loved the pretty Matoaca Dale, of Richmond. -EDWARD A.

Only one more row of cotton to hoe, and he Would be free to go home and be with Mandy and his little picka- ninnies. He threw down his hoe, walked over to the fence, and looked up and down the dusty road. ln it appeared 21 darky Walking towards Uncle hflose. Uncle lylose closed one eye in quiet speculation as to the identity of the newcomer. As the darky approached, Uncle hflosegave a huge slap upon his knee, and burst into up- roarious laughter. His kindly face beamed, and he chuckled as he interrogated: Howdy, Brer Smith, how is you and all yo' folks gitting 'long? l ain't seen you since my dog Rollo was a puppyf' As he spoke his hound bounded up, and looked suspiciously at Brer Smith. Brer Smith retired a foot away from the fence and said cautiously: Thar's a mighty vicious-looking dog you'se got thar. Your accorance to mah folks is mighty well made. Cause Delilah, my wife, took religion ovah thar at dat big camp meeting, and she done took it so violent dat it took us three days tuh bring her to. And how is yo' folks ? Dey is doing purty well, thank you, said Uncle Mose, settling himself down to a long conversation with relish. But look dar. What is dat a-coming down from de sky? The two old darkies looked up, and saw a parachute coming down. Silhouetted against the blue sky, it was an object of terror to the superstitious negroes below. Uncle lVIose clutched Brer Smith, and the two shook as with the ague. i y f UUncle lVIose, said Brer Smith with resolution, dat am de Lord, and l's gwine tuh flee from dis vocation. VVhy, Brer Smith, said Uncle Mose, Hdat camp meet- -nf 152 Jaf- In- RfOULETTEl ii XA, ing didn't seem to do you much good. As fo' me, l's gwine tuh hold mah ground. Brer Smith shook himself loose from Uncle Mosels grip and said earnestly: Feet, don't let dis road he no obstacle. Do yo' duty dis once. And Brer Smith streamed over the highway towards the nearby town. Uncle Mose was left alone. The parachute came nearer and nearer the ground. Uncle lVlose dragged himself to meet it, and with his usual good nature tried to perk up. But his face was gray with fear. A strange figure got up from under the parachute, and came towards Uncle lylose. Uncle lVIose repeated a Bible verse, and said tremulously: Good mawning, Nlarse Jesus: how is you feeling dis mawn- ing? The stranger burst into a loud laugh, and said: Get out of my way, you ignorant nigger. XVhere is the road to Nor- folk P Uncle lVIose breathed a sigh of relief. Giving the desired directions, he took up his hoe: and calling to Rollo, he went across the field to his dilapidated log cabin. lVlandy, he called to the bustling negro woman within, ul needs a consolation of spirit, and lls gwine huntin'. All right, lVlose, said she. HI and de chillun is gwine to visit mah mummy over to Upson. Don't let Rollo git dat fat meat dat's on de table. The good negress took a lunch basket, and went out with the two young negroes. Uncle Mose took his old muzzle-loader down off of its hook, and went towards the woods. As he was just enter- ing the woods he espied Brer Smith sitting up in a tree and looking as though he were exhausted. Suddenly, he saw Uncle Mose, and cried unbelievingly: 'cUncle Mose, is you dar?'l Dat l is, Brer Smith, said Uncle Mose, and l think dat you is the cowardish, ignorantish nigger in de United States of Virginia. 'llvhy you say dat? asked Brer Smith, coming out of the tree. Missy l h R'CULETTEf Because, said Uncle Mose, dat thing want nothing but a balloon man, I knowed it all de time. Git out of mah Way. l's too edicated for you. Brer Smith clicked his teeth, and looked after Mose's fig- ure that was rapidly disappearing in the woods. He mut- tered to himself: Hlls gwine ter git even wid dat nigger if itls the last thing I do. Dat man is gittin' too uppish for mef' It was late at night when Uncle Mose returned from the woods. His hunt was not fruitless, as the fat, heavy opos- sum that he carried testified. He entered the cabin, skinned and cleaned the opossum, and then he put it in his crude brick oven to roast. Next he put some sweet potatoes in the ashes. As he completed these operations he chuckled hap- pily, and said to himself: Yum, yum, good old sweet 'tater and 'possumg dis nigger is gwine feast tonightf, He sat down before the fireplace and repeated over and over to himself: Sweet 'tater and 'possum, when am yo gwine git done? The old darky was tired from his long tramp, and slowly but surely his head sank back until he was fast asleep. There was a knock at the door, but Uncle Mose, who was fast asleep, did not hear it. The door was stealthily opened, and who should creep cautiously in but Brer Smith! He looked at the snoring Uncle Mose, and his broad black nos- trils dilated as the familiar smell of potatoes and opossum met them. He grinned broadly, and said to himself : Heah's mah chance to git even wid you, Uncle lVIose. You don't see dis 'possum no more. So saying, he sat down and ate heartily of the potatoes and opossum. He ate all except a small piece of opossum fat. He slowly elevated it to his mouth, which was broadened in anticipation of enjoyment. But he paused with it only a few inches from his mouth. He held it off from him, and looked at it, then said Won- deringly: 'Tll be molly-cotton-tailed if a thought hain't struck me. . He arose from his seat, and, taking the piece of fat, he rubbed it across Uncle Mose's lips. Then with his sides shaking with laughter, Brer Smith left the cabin. -0fl5416'- gf ROULEITE1 ll , A few hours later Uncle lNIose awoke, stretched, and thought with longing of the 'taters and 'possum. He turned his head, and looked at the chair Brer Smith had been sitting in so recently. He looked puzzled, and thought: ':What dem 'possum bones and 'tater peelings doing thar on the Hoor? He rose and examined the bones. Still perplexed, he muttered: I know I hain't et mah 'possum befo' I Went to sleep. But what dem 'possum bones doing on dat floor? And Where is mah lpossum ?l' Suddenly, he stuck his tongue out, and tasted the grease on his lips. Then he sighed, and said brokenly: I taste 'possum on mah lips, so I must to have et him in my sleep. He placed his hands on his stomach, and continued: But dis 'possum done dis yeah nigger less good den any one he ever etfl -JoEL E. cox. 49115510- Ro U L EITEi It Seems a Shame QQ? lt seems a shame, but all the same Summer is pastg The cold, dreary days of fall Have come at last.
