Paul represents one of the most versatile members of the class, good in both sports and studies. He is one of the leaders of the class, always taking a prominent part in all school activities. We expect to hear great things of ‘“‘Jason.”’ LL JACK DISHMAN Per” “Full many a flower 1s born to blush unseen.” Vice-President Class ’31; Joke Editor “The Pocahontas” ’31; Football ’27, 28, '29, ’30; Basketball ’30, ’31; Cap- tain Football ’28, ’30; Captain Bas- ketball ’31; Dramatic Club ’30 ,’31; All-County Basketball ’31; Baseball 30. P Jack, the popular boy, good in the classroom and a leader in sports. Under his able leader- ship we completed one of our best football seasons. He was then chosen captain of the bas- ketball team and we came out county champs. Nuf said, huh? “Per” is a very talented musi- cian and is planning to follow a musical career. 8 THE-PoGATHON TNS s193) JUUIANED SeLERiG “Unk” “Be your own leader.’ . Secretary and Treasurer Class '31; Business Manager ‘“‘The Pocahon- tas’ ’31; President Junior Class ’30; Dramatic Club ’30, ’31; Manual Arts Club ’28, ’29; Treasurer Latin Club ’29; Valedictorian. One of the bright boys of the class is “Unk.” He did not go out for sports during his high school days, but made up for this in the class room. Always one of the leaders of the class, we foresee a great future for ‘“Red”’ if he does not fall in love, because women are his weakness.

To know “‘Stup”’ is to like him. A sincere friend, a good sport and an ardent admirer of the fair sex. He was one of the outstanding figures in the football, baseball and basketball games, and it was greatly due to his brilliant work in basketball this year that brought the county champion- ship to old P.

The sweetest girl in high school, a leader both in sports and studies, and the success of many senior functions is due to her. We are looking forward to great achievements for Mary Lee in the musical world. KATE LOTITO “Tubby” “Smile and the world smiles with you.” Basketball ’28, ’29, ’30, ’31; All-County Basketball '30, ’31; Dramatic Club 31; Manager Basketball ’30, 731. “Tubby” has been a shining light on the basketball court for four years. We do not know what she plans to do after school days, but she says she is not go- ing to marry. However, a wo- man’s negative is never positive. 10 THE POCAHONTAS 1931 PUCIV GES RELERS a Coully 2 ‘Deeds, not words.” Dramatic Club ’31; Advertising Man- ager ‘‘The Pocahontas” ’31; Latin Club ’29; Salutatorian.

Some college can indeed con- sider itself fortunate to have “Horse” as a student next year. He is a good athlete and student. His weakness happens to be girls. Well, some girl will be fortunate.

For four years Ellwood has been one of our most outstanding athletes. He has always been ready and willing to do every- thing in his power for the ad- vancement of his class. Where honesty and industry are appre- ciated, Ellwood will not be friendless. 1 THEVPOCAHON TAS 51951 HELEN BRINEGAR “Times change and we change with them.” Home Economics Club ’31. Helen is a good student. She has played on the class basket- ball team, and is another one of the seniors possessing musical talent. Helen has no definite plans for what she intends to do after school days, but we are wishing her success. IRENE ENOT “While there's life, there’s hope.” Home Economics Club ’31; Dramatic Club 3 Irene, the smallest member of the class, has displayed great musical ability. We are sure that if she chooses this field for her life’s work she will be a suc- cess.

Although Jean has not been with us all four years, she has won her way into the hearts of all her classmates. Her am- bition after finishing her high school work is to enter Marshall College. RAE WATKINS “A good heart's worth gold.” Home Economics Club 731. Through her sunny disposition and the cheerful greetings for all her classmates, Rae has won a corner in our hearts that will be vacant when she leaves. 14 THESPOCAHON PAS. 1931 HENRY C. WAYCASTER tiation “This was the noblest Roman of them all.” Dramatic Club ’30,’31;Brightest Boy’30 Henry did not join our class until our senior year. He is a quiet boy who devotes his time to studying. It is no wonder he is one of the class stars. He has been a member of the Dramatic Club for two years and is a “wow.” We expect to hear much of him in the literary world as he hopes to become a short story writer. THE POCAHONTAS 1931 15 CLASS HISTORY It was the month of September in the year 1927, on a clear peace- ful autumn day, that the good ship Pocahontas High School anchored to welcome thirty-eight passengers. We were ready to enter upon what we thought untried waters, but to our dismay found the high school course to be a continuation of grammar school. The voyage of our Freshman year ran along smoothly; the class officers were efficient, and our class advisor, Mr. Grady Carper, was both kind and considerate. In September, 1928, we were ready for another voyage on this ever faithful ship. This year, like our freshman year, also proved a success under our faithful advisor, Mr. H. D. Fitzpatrick. In September, 1929, we were ready for our third voyage. This was a happy year and we were a happy crew under our advisor, Miss Hannah Cox. Our last voyage in this faithful old ship began in September, 1930, and will end May 27, 1931. This year has proved to a busy one. The first thing we did was to select and order our rings. We were full of mirth and joy when we heard they were in the office, but were happier than ever when they were distributed. The waves in Mathematics, Latin, English, History and Science were very rough at times, but we are proud to say we are coming thru safe and sound with the aid of our faithful advisor, Miss Hannah Cox, Trene Enot, Historian. 16 THE POCAHONTAS 1931 Names Lucille Peters Kate Lotito Virginia Crawford Helen Brinegar Irene Enot Rae Watkins Mary Lee Draper Jean Wagner Julian Ellett Joseph Stupalsky Homer Widener Jack Dishman Paul Greer Henry Waycaster Ellwood Pais GItA domi © EEL.

But through his untiring efforts Coach Miller produced one of the best little teams in this part of the State. Graduation this year will take away the following regulars: H. Widener, Guard; J.

Due to his excellent leadership, we completed one of our most successful seasons in football. E. CATTARUZA, Half Back Elio, the fast little fellow that occupied the other half-back position, was a constant terror to the opposing team. He was always willing to give his best until the last whistle was blown. E. PAIS, Full Back Ellwood, the largest fellow on the team, was always on the job. His greatest thrill was in break- ing up passes. He was a great ball carrier, but his tower of strength lay in his defensive work. B. BUTNER, Quarter Back “Bus” was the brain man of the team. He was quick, alert, and always trying to outwit his enemy. It was largely due to this red-headed signal caller that we came out on top. C. WIDENER, Left End Cecil was the diminutive man of the team. This did not handicap him in his playing. He was outstanding on the de- fensive. J. STUPALSKY, Left Tackle “Stup”’ was big, fast, aggres- sive—a great blocker and tack- ler. He helped to put the op- ponents at the little end of the score. THE SPOCAHON TAS = 1931 Z3 R. MATHENA, Left Guard Robert was good on defense and offense, and always had a hole waiting for the fullback to dash through. R. WALLACE, Center Bobby is Scotch, and always lived up to his nationality by making the center of the line so tight that the opponents could not get through. H. WIDENER, Right Guard “Horsey” was one of the niftiest little guards that Poca- hontas High School has ever pro- duced. ‘“‘Horsey’’ proved to be as stubborn as a mule to the op- ponents when it came to run- ning plays through right guard. P. GREER, Right Tackle ‘“‘Jason”’ is tall, fast, aggressive, and always proved himself a capable man on the offense and defense. ‘‘Jason’s’’ neat work throughout the season proved to be the cause of Pocahontas’ brilliant season. Ve SDPROVES? Kren End “Sonny” proved himself thru- out the season to be one of the best pass receivers that Poca has ever produced. Sonny was cap- able of being equally deadly on the defense. His tackling dur- ing each game was outstanding. Ha) ERE ING ieee k= WOOD Sea DyR Derandss | WHITEHEAD were very cap- able ball players and could be depended on when called. They will be expected to fill the places left vacant next year. COACH MILLER Coach Miller, handicapped during the season from need of material, began his work with spirit and developed one of the fastest teams in Tazewell Coun- ty. We wish him luck with the team next year. 24 THE POCAHONTAS 1931 Back row—H. Garwood, B. Wallace, M. Cattaruza, P. Greer, V. Sproles, H. Widener, Coach Miller. Seated—J. Stupalsky, C. Widener, J.

Opposing 397. bo on 26 THE: POCAHONTAS 1931 CAPTAIN J. DISHMAN Forward Jack’s spirit, grit and ability won him the captaincy of a fighting ball club. Jack covered himself with honor on the hard- ‘wood court. He possessed the ability to pass, pivot, and shoot. Dishman is noted along with the best forwards in the State of Virginia. F. STEPHAN, Forward Frank may be counted on at all times. His ability to work the floor has surpassed many. His style with a little more prac- tice will rate him among the best forwards that Pocahontas has ever produced. Jeo DU RAUSK Yesc enter, They don’t make better play- ers than this long all-county cen- ter. ‘‘Stupe,’”’ who seldom loses his head, could be depended upon when the game got hot. Professionals fail to display any- thing that we have not seen this center do. E. PAIS, Guard Ellwood leaves a place hard to fill. He could do everything that a guard is supposed to do and do it well. His name will long be remembered by ‘‘Pokie High”’ fans. C. WIDENER, Guard Cecil was one of the regulars and he deserved his place. In spite of his height he could take care of the tall man. His record next year will be watched with interest. E. CATTARUZA, Forward Elio was our man with the sure, quick shot. He was un- able to play in all the games this year but we are expecting great things of him in ’32. H. WIDENER, Forward Homer was considered one of the regulars. He worked the floor well, and was an excellent shot. P. GREER, Center Paul was a boy that seldom lost his head and always could be depended on to do his best. B. WALLACE, Guard Bobby has the ability of being a good basketball player. A little more practice will land him on the 1932 team. V--SPROLEES; Guard In the last two years Vernon has displayed excellent work in basketball. He promises to be an asset to the 1932 squad. THE? POCAHONTAS 1931 27 H. GARWOOD, Forward Harry has possibilities. He gives promise of being a great player in 1932. M. CATTARUZA, Forward Although playing his first year of varsity basketball, Medico promises to keep the Cattaruza name alive in basketball. F. WAGNER, Center Floyd has played only his first year of basketball, but he has prospects of developing into a great athlete. Much honor is due Coach Miller for the best record in the history of the school, Pocahontas having ended the season with 23 victories and two defeats. 28 THE POCAHONTAS 1931 Cattanurta:; T.

She proved an efficient captain of the basket- ball team in 731. As jumping center she is surpassed by no one. She has many ways of puzzling her guard so as to keep the baskets filled with Pocahon- tas balls. We are depending upon Blanche, the steadiest of steady players and high point county scorer, to do great things fon olem boca file a2: D. CATTARUZA, Forward Dena for three years has been an outstanding player on our team. For quickness on _ the court none can _ excell little Catiatlizas se OCaloubacmiac claimed many victories that were due to Dena’s accuracy in shooting. K. LOTITO, Guard The always smiling “Tubby” is filled with determination. Her ability to stick to any opposing forward has won for “Tubby” the admiration of all who have seen her in action. For the last four years we have depended upon “Tubby” to do her part in keeping the ball away from the opponents’ goal and not once has she disappointed us. Hers will be a position hard to fill by the players of ’32. M. DRAPER, Guard Mary Lee has put in some mighty hard work for Pocahon- tas. She isa cool,steady player. Her guarding for the past two years has won for Mary Lee an enviable position on the Poca- hontas squad. Her graduation this year leaves a vacancy on our team that nothing but unusual ability can fill. R. YOUNG, Guard Ruth started her basketball career this season. She is a de- pendable, hard working guard and can always be depended upon to do her best. We are looking forward to Ruth as an unusual player. Her ability and value on the Pocahontas team has been well proven in her first year’s playing. H. MAXEY, Forward Helene has shown great ability during the last season. She is always jolly,steady and willing. With the opening of next year’s season we hope to see Helene again displaying her splendid work on the team. Substitutes—M. Boyd, L. Honaker, A. Danko, K. Kovacs, R. ‘Griffith, M2 Wagener, Hi: Whitson and V. Bishop. To these girls we owe much. Their perseverance and hard work during the season had a telling effect on our interschol- astic games. With the exception of Wagner, they are all Fresh- men and promise to keep the re- cord made by the Poca Sharp- shooters. G. Hines, Coach, needs no write up. The fact that her team lost only two games out of sixteen, shows her ability to coach as well as the devotion of her players.

This is the story of a country cousin getting city broke at the ex- pense of a group of young fun makers. Love, mystery and comedy all combine to make this play interesting to the climax. It was chiefly due to the skillful directing of Miss Cox that the play was a success, and the Dramatic Club extends to her their deepest appreciation. 32 THE POGATON TAS O32 WHOS) WHOGUN?E.

The outing was attended by only a small number of pupils. (Although still warm it was not typical hiking weather.) Those who attended had a very enjoyable time. Miss Bagwell and Coach Miller chaperoned. HALLOWEEN PARTY AT. BLANCHE YOUNG’S On Hallowe’en night one of the first and the best parties of the year was given at the home of Blanche Young. A large number from all the classes attended. Games were played until a late hour when refreshments were served. Blanche can throw a party——and how? JUNIOR-SENIOR DEBATE The Junior Class in November selected their two best speakers and challenged the Senior Class to a debate. Paul Greer and Julian Ellett were chosen to have the battle of words with the Junior aces, Blanche Young and Henry Waycaster. The question was, Resolved: “That Prohibition has helped our country.” The Seniors, who were defending the negative side, were completely ourclassed by the Junior tongue wagglers, and lost by a two to one vote. MAGAZINE CONTEST This year, as has been the custom for several years, the Curtis Publishing Co., of Philadelphia, put on a contest for the sale of ‘“‘The Ladies’ Home Journal,” ‘‘The Saturday Evening Post,” and ‘The Country Gentleman.’ In our school Paul Greer was chosen as busi- ness manager to conduct the contest, and Julian Ellett as renewal manager. The high school was then divided into two groups—the reds and the blues. Blanche Young and Ellwood Pais were chosen as leaders for the blue team, while Mary Lee Draper and Henry Way- caster were the captains of the reds. After a week of selling, the con- test ended in a tie. 34 THE POCAHONTAS 1931 DISTRICT TOURNEY On December 5th the boys of the basketball squad left for Emory to enter the district tournament. After two days of fun we returned with many tales of good times and almost District Champs. We were runners-up. JUNIOR WIENER ROAST On April 7th, the Junior Class gave a wiener roast at ‘“‘Street Car’? cave. Quite a few from other classes were invited. Baseball games, trips in the cave and eats helped to make the evening enjoyable for every one. JOKES Cecil—What’s the most nervous thing next to a girl? Sonny—Me. Lost—Fountain pen by a man half full of ink. Did you hear about the Scotch basketball player that turned in his uniform because he couldn’t shoot all the free goals? Julian (at the butcher shop)—-Ma says that last ox tail was very nice, and to please send her another from the same ox. Douglas Garwood (to the librarian)—-Can vou tell me where to find the charm of a well married home? The light was dim; they were in so close to each other, oh! so close those two little peanuts in that peanut shell. Found—On campus, a watch by a student with a cracked face. For sale: A bed by a lady that folds up and looks like a piano. THE POCAHONTAS 1931 39 Wanted: Nurse to take care of babies twenty years old. Miss Bagwell (in Latin class)—In the sentence, ‘““The man got a divorce,’ why did you put divorce in the ablative case? Randolph Wagner—Because it is ablative of separation. Douglas Garwood—That car that just passed was from Alabama, Florida. Oscar Asbury—Who ever heard of Alabama, Florida—it’s Ala- bama, Georgia. Miss Bagwell—lIs it true that the English people prefix H to a great many words and leave it off from others? Mr. Crowgey—It certainly is. Miss Bagwell—Well, how do they tell when to prefix or drop the H? Mr. Crowgey—They don’t tell, it just comes natural. A patron was watching his first basketball game. Pocahontas girls were playing. After observing the game thru the first quarter he asked seriously, “Why don’t they use that basket down there?” New teacher standing on the club house porch and looking out across the hills—Well, there’s the silo, but where’s the barn? Mr. Crowgey (in history)—What is social science, Ellwood? Ellwood—I’ll bite, what is it? A teacher was reporting a broken window. Mr. Crowgey—Is it badly broken? Teacher—Yes, the whole pane is cracked and a piece about 10 inches square has dropped out of the center.
