P The success that has attended each Senior thus far is due to the wonderful influence and wise guidance of this much loved teacher, during our grammar school days. We were with her during a period when each day in her school room meant preparation for the better and bigger things we hoped to accomplish later on. And as we go out from high school to look for those better and bigger things may we keep in mind the beautiful lessons she taught us.

For this we wish to express to him our heart- felt gratitude as a ciass and as individuals.

To many we may seem young and fool- ish, but wouldn’t you like to say you were one of us? We have struggled during our years in high school to live up to that motto, “Not for ourselves alone, but for all,’’ and as we look back on our few accomplishments we feel that our struggling has not been in vain. Our library fund, which we started, will live on after we are gone and, although it may seem small now, we are glad to be able to be the first to carry on this work. And, too, we leave The Oriole with the hope that it may be carried on with a greater degree of success. Although we may be leaving our high school days behind, the memory of them will ever be with us; so — Here’s to the class of twenty-one Of dear Pulaski High; Always the best class ever known, May its spirit never die. 5rnun (£lafis Margaret Draper . .

Colors Green and White Flower Narcissus THE ORIOLE 19 MARGARET FINLEY DRAPER “ Her presence lends its warmth and health to all who come before it. President Senior Class: Manager Basketball Team ’l ( )-’20, ’20- ' 21; Secretary Literary Society; Vice-President Athletic Associa- tion; Editor-in-Chief of “Oriole”; Most popular in “Who’s Who.” No one girl has given more gener- ously of her services to her class than Margaret. Whether being an actress, playing basketball, working to make The Oriole a success, or iust being a high school student, we find that she is equally successful in all. Refined and congenial, she makes friends wherever she goes. MARSHALL A. SHUFF, JR. “ Easy come , easy go.” Vice-President Class ’21; Manager Football Team ’19- ' 20, ’20-’21; President Literary Society ’21; Treasurer Athletic Associa- tion; Athletic Editor “Oriole.” What would we do without “Hip” to manage the business affairs of ' 21, and also put on a most innocent and import- ant look when a teacher steps into the room at an unexpected minute? And at times you would think there was no doubt as to the most popular member when he relieves a most trying situation (especially in geometry class) by ringing the bell just in the nick of time. In his study of medicine he carries with him the best wishes of the Class of ’21. JACQUELINE C. ROLSTON The world were not so little, But her smile could make it sweet.” Treasurer Class ’21; Literary Editor “Oriole : Treasurer Library Fund; wittiest in “Who’s Who.” Studying seems never to bother “Jack,” but she always stands well in her classes and she is the possessor of those charming faculties which win for her many friends. In spite of the fact that she is the author of many“epitaphs she still retains her smile and rare good humor. 20 THE ORIOLE DELRHEV FITZGERALD “ The secret of success is constancy to purpose.” Assistant Literary Editor; Historian of Class. Delrhey is our literary member of ’21. We all held up our hands in holy- horror when one day she quietly in- formed us that she usually spent about six hours preparing each day-’s lessons. We would not believe this from many people, but we have to accept it as the truth from her. We certainly feel sorry for the poor children who in fu- ture years will have to study her char- acteristics and contributions in American literature. TURUS FLOYD SOUTHERN “.4 man of many thoughts but few words. “Turusee” is the most dignified of all the dignified Seniors, possessing his own dignity and also that of all the others. But he has lapses from that most unnatural state and during these lapses the fur flies in the Senior room. MYRTLE EDITH WISLER “ To know her is to love her.” One look at that artistic dimple tells you it would take, indeed, a hard heart to withstand her winsome smile. If worry causes wrinkles and gray- hair Myrtle will never grow old. for she loves a good time. She can, however, bear responsibility when it is thrust upon her. She is one of our smallest seniors but we know her smallness is confined to size only. THE ORIOLE 21 LOIS LOVIXIA ALBERT “She has a gift that’s rare, Her wit is keen — beware.” Athletic Council: Program Committee of Liter- ary Society, Second Term; Athletic Editor “Oriole.” When we think of Lois such associa- tions arise as a pair of laughing blue eyes, wavy brown hair and “un habit rouge.” In her dreams are visions of a Utopian land where lessons are never studied. Nothing can freeze her good humor — except perhaps geometry. But we all love her. so what more can we say? HARRY THOMAS PATTESOX “ And tho’ I hope not hence unscathed to go, Who conquers me will find a stubborn foe. Captain Football Team ’19-’20, ’20-’21; Presi- dent Athletic Council ' 20-’2t; Most Ath- letic in “Who’s Who”; Business Manager “Oriole”; Prophet Class of ’21. “Pat” is the best all around sport in our class; otherwise he would not hate such fame as the Titian-haired giant of the P. H. S. football team. He is a jolly good fellow and we wish him all the success in the world. VERNA VIVIAN LUCAS “Worth, courage, honor, pride, these indeed Your substance and birthright are.” Ad. Editor “Oriole”; Program Committee Literary Society. Although Verna is one of the youngest students of the Class of ’21, she is one of the most studious, always learning her lessons well, and is looked upon as a model student. Like most girls, Verna likes pretty clothes and jewelry, but the morning she came to school with her luxuriant hair bobbed we gave an in- voluntary gasp. 22 THE ORIOLE MABEL CLYDE RICHARDSON “Of spirits gay, and kindly heart. Mabel has been with us for a long time, always passing the “Exams” un- til at last she is nearing her goal, “A High School Diploma.” Being good- natured and humorous, she has helped our class to be one of the happiest and best in the world. GARRETT DALTON “A good-natured student, honest and sincere.” Assistant Business Manager “Oriole”; Best na- tured in “Who’s W ho.” “Slats” is always good-natured and ever ready to lend one a helping hand. During his two years at P. H. S. he has been looked up to by both pupils and teachers alike, because of his standing in class- which is about six feet and a GEORGIA EUGENIA WILLIAMS “She is little, she is shy. Is it really shyness or just love of peace that keeps her from being bois- terous? She is always ready and will- ing to do her part, and this, included with her many other lovable traits, will cause her to be remembered as one of the dominant factors in our class. THE ORIOLE 23 THELMA AUGUSTA PILLSBURY “ Much study is a weariness to the flesh.” Joke Editor “Oriole”; Athletic Council; Pro- gram Committee; Literary Society, First Term. Not that she doesn’t study, for we all know she does, but to look at her she wouldn’t strike you as being partic- ularly studious. She’s always ready for a good time, and say — she’s good looking! If you don’t believe us ask -! Oh, well, most anybody can tell you. In her beloved art may the pictures she paints be as charming as the ones we will hold in memory of her. ALTON INGRAM CROWELL “ Laugh and the world laughs i with you.” President Literary Society, First Term; Pro- gram Committee of Literary Society, Second Term; Best looking and most popular boy in “Who’s Who”; Assistant Editor-in-Chief of “Oriole”; Testator of Class of ’21. According to another old quotation, “Skinny” should be very fat, but he is the exception that proves the rule. Al- though he meets everything and every one with the same cheerful grin, life is not all a joke to him, for he is really studious and does commendable work. With his ready wit and bottles of pills we predict that he will be very success- ful as an M. D. ADA LEE CANNADAY “A soaring nature, ballasted with sense.” Assistant Ad. Editor “Oriole.” A typical senior is Ada Lee. Early in her high school career she acquired the habit of always passing on her sub- jects; this habit she has never dropped. For more proof of her determination to get her diplo ma just be out some zero morning and see her, cold but resolute, coming to school. For her we predict a bright future. 24 THE ORIOLE MARETTIA PAULINE GALLIMORE “For if she will, she will, you may depend on it, A nd ij she won ' t, she won ' t, so there ' s an end to it.” Here is one of our quiet girls who has made herself famous in history because of her ability to remember and recite it. A friend in need is a friend indeed,” and if any one should see Rettia expatiat- ing history to her classmates just be- fore tests they would say there ‘‘is a friend indeed.” ROBERT MELVILLE FINKS “The most precious articles come in the smallest packages.” Athletic Council; Art Editor “Oriole”; Most original in “Who’s Who.” When Robert, the great orator of our class, prepares a debate and comes out on our stage with a dynamo of ener- gy and natural eloquence, you may feel assured you will be well entertained. Shrewdness, thrift, and common sense are the qualities most conspicuous in Robert. We feel assured that he will obtain his M. D. degree and anything else that he sets out to do. “ANGORA” “O vanity, thy name is ‘Angora’.” No one is so well aware of their blue- blooded and aristocratic ancestry as Angora. When told of her appoint- ment as Mascot of the Class of 1921 she raised her head a little higher, waved her big bushy tail and walked more majestically than ever. THE ORIOLE 25 (Elafis Siatory O XE September morning in the fall of 19 16 seventy-five boys and girls awoke to the realizat ion that at last the day had arrived when they were to start on their long journey up “High School Mountain.” They had been preparing lor this journey for years and it was with happy hearts that they at last set out as freshmen. Those who have been freshmen can understand how one feels, but those who have not can never understand the queer sensations through which they pass. The seniors were looked upon with awe and rever- ence, but the condescending look which passed over our count- enances as we saw a “down-in-the-grader” was really ludicrous. Many were the happy days as freshmen, in spite of the fact that we were constantly reminded that we were just “rats.” The sophomore year was begun with the same enthusiasm as the first, although there were not more than half as many students as the year before. Some enlisted to help “Uncle Sam” fight the “Huns, while others either heard the “Call of the Wild,” or remained in the first year. The first half of the year was full of excitement because of the influenza epidemic in October and the signing of the armistice in November, but after that nothing unusual happened to disturb the even tenor of our way and we soon found ourselves juniors. The junior year was quiet, our one great aim being to reach the senior year which we had been looking forward to for so long. At last the year of all years has arrived: seniors at last! but we wonder where is all that dignity and superiority we used to think seniors always acquired. For some reason we just can- not be dignified, but in spite of that the Class of ’21 has ac- complished things of which any class might well be proud. We have the honor of founding the Pulaski High School annual, The Oriole, of which we are very proud. May the future seniors carry it on year by year with the same vigor and enthusiasm with which it has been started. Another accomplishment of which the seniors are proud is the raising of money for a school library which has been needed for years. The senior year has been a busy one, every moment has been filled, for there has been much to do. Now that w r e have reached the summit we find ourselves reluctant to go on to new fields and it is with sad hearts that we bid Pulaski High School farewell, and our thoughts will ever turn back to the good times spent there . — Dclrhey Fitzgerald, ' 21 . 26 THE ORIOLE ffr 0 pl}?n; nf (Class ’21 X N THE course of graduation from old P. H. S. it was found that a prophet was needed to foretell the futureof this brilliant class. Then it was decreed that I, being of no other use, should turn my dreams to the future of the Seniors instead of wasting my gitt of prophecy on the weather; however, 1 was a bit shy in ' 21 and promised the class if they would excuse me from so great a task 1 would some day tell the people of their fame. It has been a long time since then and I had forgotten this promise until I was sud- denly reminded of it. I was at the station to meet “thirteen” when I heard some one say, “Hello, Pat.” I turned to find Virginia’s most distin- guished and noted lawyer at my side, the Hon. Turns Southern, who is now practicing law in Richmond. He came up from Radford where he has been employed by the Civic League to fight the cow question. You know he established his reputation as a lawyer when he helped Pulaski get rid of hercows in 1935. “Come on, Turns, let me tell you the news. You see that magnificent hotel on the top of Peak Knob? And that hand- some new block over there? They were designed and built by our old friend, Garrett Dalton.” “Speaking of a new block here reminds me that a few days ago I saw Margaret Draper, as we used to know her, in Washing- ton. She has spent two terms in congress from the Ninth District. It was due to her influence that the “Draper Bill” was passed allowing Pulaski to erect buildings of at least four stories. She now devotes much of her time and executive ability to civic improvements.” “Well, you should have been here last week. You know we’ve just had an observatory added to the High School build- ing, and the other day while Dr. Shuff was driving over in his aeroplane he dropped his monkeywrench, which fell through the dome hitting one of the students on the head. Dr. Shuff hurried to the Pulaski Hospital where, with the aid of Doctors Finks and Crowell, he held an examination. Dr. Crowell, the surgeon of the bunch, wanted to perform an immediate operation and phoned me to bring all the ether I had in my drug store and come to the hospital. In the meantime, however, they had found and adminstered some chloroform. Upon my THE ORIOLE 27 arrival I found them in a heated discussion. Dr. Shuff main- tained that the patient had concussion of the brain. The funny thing about it, however, is that while they were arguing, Dr. Finks, with the aid of a compass and an old geometry original, found the exact spot where a chip from the monkeywrench had lodged. Today I saw Georgia Williams, who is head nurse there, and she told me the patient is slowly recovering. By the way, Turns, do you hear from Jacqueline very often?” ‘‘Huh? Well, yes, occasionally. She has graduated from the University of Chicago and has become famous as the au- thor of a book entitled, “Why Did Poe’s Raven Rave?” She also told me that she had seen Lois Albert, who has finished her music in Germany, and is now employed by Mr. Edison to compose dance music. They must have had a sort of a class reunion, because she had also seen Thelma Pillsbury and Mabel Richardson. It seems that Thelma has moved the home of fashion and art from Paris to Dublin, and Mabel is the most original milliner in Newbern. Gale Henry says he is extremely happy in a Pillsbury costume and a Richardson hat. By the way, Pat, you remember Myrtle Wisler? I was in Wytheville yesterday and she is professor of Home Economics in the Uni- versity there. She likes everything very much except when Delrhey Fitzgerald, the State Inspector of Universities, comes around.” “Did you notice in the last copy of the Southwest Times the interesting letter from Verna Lucas, the noted bacteriologist? You know she has returned to America after having been sent to Russia, where she made a thorough analysis of a new disease caused by the “Redski” germ which has lately broken out there. She met up with another old classmate of ours, Ada Lee Can- nady. It seems that Ada Lee has become a missionary and was captured in Africa by a lot of cannibals who were fixing to have soup a la Ada Lee. Just in time, however, she was saved by an old friend of ’21, Rettia Gallimore. Rettia has become a noted dietician, and in spite the fact that we used to laugh at her when in current events class she offered food substitutes for the savages, we find that one she happened to have with her saved Ada Lee’s life. Well, there comes “thirteen” and for once in my life I’m really glad it was not on time. Good-bye, old fellow, and let me know when you come back to defend Dr. Shuff for dropping that monkeywrench.” Harry Patteson, ’ 21 . 28 THE ORIOLE iCast Hill m b Srstamml w E, THE Senior Class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty- W I j one, being of a generous nature and desirous of be- V M J stowing on others those things which we do not need, hereby declare this instrument to be our Last Will and Testament, and revoke all former dispositions of our estate heretofore made by us. First: We, as a class, hereby will to the Junior Class our “Cold Storage”— more correctly called a room — which will keep them as fresh as they can ever wish to be. We also will a pet, a very dear bird, which is very young and will need much nourishment and care to keep it from dying. This bird we called “ The Oriole. Also to the Junior Class we will our wonderful door knob, upon the condition that it will never, never be tightened; and our dictionary, although they will have to pur- chase a derrick to move it, if their own “Derrick” cannot. Second: To the Sophomores we will one grand court upon which to play basketball or other sports. The only fault with this court is that it is either too muddy or too dusty. Third: We will to the Freshmen some “hay bale wire,” with which they can collect paper off the school grounds as in the days of yore. Fourth: To the Civic League we will the right to start a movement for an athletic building. Fifth: We will to the future teams of P. H. S. all the good luck that they can find or steal. Sixth: To the teachers of the grammar grades we will some studies to be used instead of singing or reading in unison. Seventh: Margaret Draper wills her popularity to Mary Duncan. She also wills her duty of piloting her class through the senior year to Theo. Derrick. Harry Patteson wills to Clarence Miller the rank of the best athlete. Myrtle Wisler wills to James Trolinger her dimple (S). Delrhey Fitzgerald wills to Mary Amburn her knowledge of English which she displays before Miss Finks.

Garrett Dalton wills his good nature to William Allison. Ada Lee Cannady wills her geometrical knowledge to Vera Morefield. Georgia Williams wills to Georgia Thomas her lack of noise, although Georgia will have the right to bestow any or all of it on needy persons. Eighth: We will and bequeath to the faculty the following: To Mr. Elliot our sincere appreciation of all that he has done for us. To Miss Thomas we will this annual of Pulaski High School year of 1921. To Miss Finks, some classes who will not be so lazy; alsa a “Hall” of which she can have complete charge. To Miss Bones, the sincere wish that the scales of life will “Tip” towards happiness always. To M iss Watts, a French class in which she will not need the phrase, “Silence, tout la classe.” To Mr. Smith, some classes who are really good and who can learn Latin. In Testimony Whereof, we have signed and sealed this instrument, thi s seventeenth day of May, 1921, and, in the presence of witnesses, published and declared it to be our Last Will and Testament.

He had to pass through many lands before he reached his destination, but he carried with him the shield of Persever- ance and the sword of Ambition. The first country he reached was called Freshmen. When he came to the borders of the land he saw there a monster who was really very terrible, but the Prince’s eyes were lit by Anticipation and he hurried by. Now this monster’s name was Work and he howled dreadfully when the young Prince passed him. As he journeyed farther he sud- denly came upon a great bird, who flapped its wings and made a frightful noise. The Prince was very much frightened, but he knew that this bird’s name was Latin and that he had been placed there by Holiday, so he held his shield of Perseverance before him and flourished his sword Ambition, and the bird finally flew a little distance away so that the Prince passed on. But behind him the monster, Work, grinned hideously. After he had gone a little way a wind arose and strange witches and goblins appeared and danced around him so that he could not continue. These creatures were none other than History and Mathematics, allies of Thomas and Howard. Now the Prince was just entering the land of the Sophomores, and looking ahead he saw a good fairy approaching. Her name was Determina- tion. By the help of this fairy and his good sword Ambition, he passed the dragon called Examinations and entered the land of the Sophomores. The first person he met was an old man, who said his name was Wisdom and he offered to accompany the Prince on his journey, if he wished. The young Prince accepted gladly, as his shield Perseverance had been dented in his encounter with the bird Latin and he heard the monster Work roaring once more. They went on together until they came to a river. The old man said they would have to swim as there was no bridge and that the name of the river was the Sophomore Party. They started across but the farther they went the swifter and colder grew the water, and when they finally reached the other side the Prince was nearly exhausted and had to be pulled out by Wisdom. But the land of the Jun- iors was close at hand and they stumbled on. As they ap- proached, the sun was lost in a dark cloud and thunder was heard in the distance. Just as they were entering the country THE ORIOLE 35 called Juniors a ghost appeared. Chains were around his ankles and in one hand he held a thermometer and in the other (Oh! irony of Fate) a test tube. The Prince’s good sword passed completely through the apparition and his shield had no effect whatever. The Prince faltered and started back, but Wisdom showed him what seemed to be a shining light not very far ahead, so after many futile attempts he passed the ghost. Immediately the sun shone and a clear voice was heard to say, “Donnez-moi une phrase.” The Prince was told that is was a maiden called French, sent by Watts to cheer him after his encounter with the ghost, but the Prince glanced over his shoulder and saw Work following closely behind. He uttered a groan and went forward to meet the maiden. However, he did not fall in love with her as you might suppose, for both he and the old man, Wisdom, tripped and fell into a deep ravine. Now the name of this ravine was Caesar and it was dug by one named Smith. After many struggles Wisdom escaped and he and the good fairy Determination, who had followed the Prince, succeeded in rescuing him and they set out once more. Before very long they came upon what seemed many graves, with tombstones of beautiful symmetry and geometrical exactness. On some were written in perfect letters: “Originals,” “Cor- ollaries,” or “Proposition XXIX.” The Prince was horrified at this sight but the old man explained that these were the different victims of Geometry who had fallen by the hand of Bones. After much persuasion the Prince passed safely by this terrible scene and went on towards his destination. They had not journeyed very tar before a little sprite appeared called English. This sprite was deceiving for she was very ugly. The Prince drew his sword and was about to attack her, but the ol d man stayed his hand. How was he to know that the sprite was a “true blessing in disguise” sent by Finks? The Prince now looked up and saw, shining not very far away, his destina- tion, Seniorland, and his Golden Fleece, Education. He drew a deep breath, picked up his sword and shield, and set out once more toward his Desire. Theodosia Derrick, ’ 22 . 36 THE ORIOLE Hlimim Alplrabpt A is for Algebra which makes us fuss.

As nature would have it, there were many rivalries between the two sections of the first year, each vying with the other to climb a little higher up the mountain. As a school we were under the care of Pro- fessor Y. D. Gresham. The high school teachers were, Miss Thomas, Miss Allen, Miss Jordan, Mr. Malcolmson, and Mr. Tate. The Latin class in our section was very queerlv divided. It was divided into two classes: one, “The Round Dozen,” which consisted of twelve of the best members of the class, the other, “The Bob Tail Class,” consisting of those who were not so quick to take in the rules of Latin grammar. The other section was taught by a different teacher, Miss Allen. When we first started to climb the mountain our worst falls were over the briers and bushes of Algebra and Latin. But as we climbed on up and applied ourselves more diligently we soon became familiar with X, Y, and Z, and we really came to enjoy our Latin classes. Perhaps when we think of the rude cabins and school- houses in which our forefathers spent their school days we can more readily appreciate our own new school building, for in the history of our school life we have never been lacking in bodily comforts and efficient teachers. The members of the Freshman class took a very active part in the commencement exercises at the end of the year, there being a good representation of Freshmen in the choruses, and among the medals given two were won by members of our class. After three months holiday we met again on September 1, 1920. Now, that our two Freshmen classes came together as a single body — and as Sophomores — we banished all rivalries and were bound together by ties of friendship. During the va- cation months we lost one of our fellow students, Mabel Dalton. THE ORIOLE 41 She was loved by all of us and is greatly missed because of her personal worth and charm. Our class has also been diminish- ed by the marriage of one of our members, by others stopping school, and still others were sent back to repeat the first year because they loved it so that their minds could work “nowhere else but there.” Our class has stood as one of the best in all phases of school life. We have displayed our talent especially in the literary programs. Scarcely a thing that we have attempted to do has failed and whenever the Program Committee was in need of a chorus they always called on the “Sophs.” You should have heard how we rendered it! Probably our hardest struggle this year has been with “Caesar’s Gallic Wars” in Latin, and quadratics and other horrors in Algebra. W e are now half way up the mountain; we can almost see “Senior Knob,” and although we are wearied and tired under the burden of our lessons we still love P. H. S., and expect to meet again next fall in the Junior year. Na n nette Livi ngsto n, ’ 2 ? . 42 THE ORIOLE $hp § npluimorr (Elasfi The best bunch under the sun Is the Sophomore Class of twenty-one. There are tall ones, fat ones, all sorts and sizes, A perfectly angelic class; among them no vices. Our teachers all love us, and we love them too; We always surprise them by the good work we can do. Miss Watts loves us as we in deportment shine, For no one makes below ninety-nine! We are Miss Thomas’s star history class, And there’s not a doubt but that we’ll all pass. Mr. Elliott is amazed at our science knowledge; He classes us with a “number one college.” Mr. Smith says ’ tis wonderful, the Latin we get, And no one has missed a question — as yet. You should see what mathematicians we are! Among other classes we shine like a star. We are taught by Miss Finks the most correct word, So that in company we can always be heard. As I have said — and it can plainly be seen — We are a very studious class, and in no manner green. We invite you, my friends, to visit our school And see how perfectly we keep every rule.

We have won renown not only in our studies and literary work, but also in athletics. Among its best debaters the High School must mention Howard Gilmer and Joe Baldwin, both of whom are Freshmen. Conway Smith, by far the best declaimer, is also the humorist of the class. Hastwell Sizer is our artist, and if he keeps on he will be a greater cartoonist than Fisher. William Allison and Joe Bones played on the football team, Allison playing halfback and Bones tackle. There were also some substitutes and second team players, among whom were Alton Duncan, John Cox and Clarence Rutherford. Wit- tie Ellis, Hazel Pack and Elizabeth Bopp were our members of the basketball team, and they with Allene Miller, Pauline Bopp and Isabel Miller as substitutes, did excellent work during the basketball season. It is with this record unbroken that we hope, in a few years, to become Seniors. Billy Cheves, ' 24. THE ORIOLE 49 A 0ag at rltnnl Promptly at nine in the morning Ye hear the glad sound of the bell. And woe to the lad or lassie Who is late, for you never can tell Just how late you will stay in the evening For your procrastination of the morn; So be wise and hustle and hurry And the room, by your presence, adorn. They march us down to chapel, Where perfect quiet reigns, ’Til Professor Elliott taps the bell. Then all begin to sing. Then he propounds his lecture And leads the class in prayer, And we know in the near future We’ll all be gathered there — , I mean up in the class room, Where for forty minutes per day Professor Elliott teaches Science In his scientific way. Next comes Miss Mary Thomas, In her beautiful, queenly way, Where for forty long, long minutes She feeds us up on History. She can tell all kings and presidents, And when they reigned and died, And all the fights and battles Since Eve the apple spied. Next is Miss Evelyn Finks, Who speaks so fluently. She tells us all the English From A to X Y Z. 50 THE ORIOLE M iss YY atts, she is the next one. What she teaches, who can tell, For she speaks a foreign language; Ma chere, we love you well.

Margaret Drapei . . James Trolinger. . . THE ORIOLE 55 ®hr Eiuer and flan HEX we see a spring with the water bubbling leisure- ly up, we seldom think of the greatness which this same water eventually achieves. The water leaves its source and slips and slides along its tiny watercourse, falling here and there only to get up again and rush headlong into greater and more dangerous falls. Sometimes it runs gaily along, singing and playing in the sun- light; at other times it becomes quiet and still as if it were sleep- ing. Gradually, as the stream goes on its way, it grows, not only in strength and size but in capability; it is no longer the merry dashing brook, but a small young river, just beginning to feel its importance in the world. Man, like the river, was at first a tiny toddling child, who slid down the stairs and got on his feet only to slip and fall again. Like the brook, too, the child would sing and play, run and jump, until forced by weariness to seek its bed. Finally the child also grows, and becomes able to do the small tasks of manhood and do them as seriously and efficiently as a man. The small river is able to furnish power for mills, true not such large ones; but is not this a great step towards a river’s “manhood?” The stream is no longer playful, it does not rush headlong as a child, but goes serenely along as if impressed by the greatness and seriousness of the tasks confronting it. Neither does the youth take life as a joke, nor does he play continually, but he also begins to take life seriously as he grows in strength,, experience, and intellect. Do not think, however, that all tiny streams develop into great, healthy, honest working rivers, for some disappear into the earth, thereby meeting untimely deaths; some are lame and stunted, they are of no value in the work of the world and stand no chance in the battle of life, for the river, unlike the child, has no intellect by which it may become known as a power. Still other rivers are criminals, not only do they wend a crooked way but they steal one’s land and either give it to another or deposit it along the way in such a manner as to do no one good. A river is not always quiet and peaceful; when it rains a river becomes angry and turbulent, and in many cases leaves its bed, destroys priceless property, and in some instances families. THE ORIOLE 56 But to return to the good river. The river has now grown into “manhood” in every sense of the word. Some rivers, like some men, are rulers. That this is a fact could not be doubted by any one who should see the slow, majestic trend of a river as it flows along its course in the consciousness of its unlimited power. It furnishes the power for every phase of industry, if not directly, indirectly through the great medium, electricity. Were a river able to talk, what would be the numbers of mysteries solved, romances disclosed, and unknown crimes brought to light? It could tell of people who had disappeared and were never again heard of ; it could tell of crimes which had never been solved, for it had seen the murderer drag his victim to the bank and had heard the dull splash as he rolled him into the river to be hidden forever — unless the river, in grim humor, cast the body upon the banks far from the scene of the crime. Who knows of the romances watched by a river when the moonlight plays on the surface of the water, faintly illuminating all nearby objects in its faint silvery glow? And yet, all these things may be locked in the bosom of a river, never to be revealed. Finally, the last stage of development in a river’s life is reached; it no longer expands as before but rather seems to shrink, and it is at this stage that it goes into the sea and is lost forever — even as man dies and passes into the great un- known.

THE ORIOLE 59 (in fmith Life is like the day and youth is like the morn, And the future yet unborn is far beyond the horizon. We are sailing out upon the deep in our rafts so frail, Within our own hand we hold the oars; We are masters of the sail. So why sit idle; the raft glides ever onward Into that great unknown future, And soon the mad waves of life will encompass you. Then how can you hope to be spared If you are not prepared? Idle youth, awake from thy dreams While yet ’ tis early morn, Grip the oars in thy strong hands. Not far away is safety and land, And if you try with all your might, Never tiring, never despairing, You shall reach that land ere night. Minnie Cannady, Yj. 60 THE ORIOLE 3f (.4 pologies to Kipling ) If you are a “Freshie” in Pulaski High School, And some of the students say you are green; If you must look out for every rule, Or have the faculty think you are mean; If some morning you get there too late, Because of the chores or the car that broke, If you can walk in and hear your fate, And not feel condemned like you were a “poke;” If you can meet the teachers whom you love, And see their summer countenance change to winter; If you can say, and be honest to the One above, You did your best, trying in time to enter; If you can play and not make athletics your aim, If you can meet with blessings and temptation, And treat each circumstance just the same; If you won’t let your love affairs bring consternation, If you haven’t the nerve to climb When all the upper classmen are doubting you; If you can keep thinking all the time That the school can never do without you; If you meet with praise and condemnation And can meet them both with joy, And not feel like giving up your school relation, You will surely be a hero, old boy!

He now has one for first aid. Perhaps he needed it. Lois — Do you know Janet Baldwin? Georgia — Yes, we both sleep in the same Latin class! Hipp — Myrtle, I saw you flirting with a man at the show last night. Myrtle — Well, you don’t think I would flirt with a girl do you. First Junior — What’s the play? Junior — The Merchant of Venice. First Junior — What’s the plot? Junior — I dunno, 1 think he was hauled up for profiteering. Joe Dent says that when a man hears a thing it goes in one ear and out the other, but when a woman hears a thing it goes in one ear and out her mouth.

Dorothy — Sleepy is wandering in his mind. Georgia — Don’t worry, he won’t go far. FIRST AID TO PROFESSORS “That’s a rather heavy paperweight you have on your desk,’’ remarked the visitor. “So it is,’’ said Professor Elliott. “That’s what I call my ‘modifier’. ” u 7 i esr “Sometimes when an infuriated pat ron conies into my office to see about his child’s examination grades, I toy with this paperweight a little, and it isn’t forty seconds before he’s gone.’’ Harry (to butcher) — What kind of meat have you this morning? Butcher — The best steak we ever had, sir, as tender as a woman’s heart. Harry — I’ll take sausage. Mr. Smith (after lesson on snow) — As we walk out on a cold winter’s day and look around what do we see on every hand? Robt. — Gloves! Now, last fall we had a row, And this was all about that cow, They fussed and fumed and even voted, But the cow on the street is still to be noted. (Of all the Senior folks There was one appointed to write jokes, She didn’t know how, So wrote on the cow, This wonderful writer of jokes.) 74 THE ORIOLE M iss Watts (entering the Jefferson News Co. and seeing a case of poker chips)- — What in the world are these? tiddledy winks? Innocence is bliss! SOLID IVORY Mr. Smith — Janet, give me an illustration of density. Janet — I don’t know. Mr. Smith — A very good illustration, Janet. Frank Silcox (in Freshman Algebra) — Miss Bones, do you think “flat” Geometry will be hard for me? Aliss Bones— Joe, how do you spell nickel? Joe — Why — er — I don’t know. Billy- — Aw, Joe, just spell five cents. Math Student — What is the hippopotamus of a right triangle? Miss Finks (while hearing lesson on Hamlet) — What light is thrown on the subject on the first scene. Alton- — Moonlight. The Juniors have two “cats” you know, These fashions they do make, With which they hope to get a beau, But alas! They just won ' t take! Linda — Boo-hoo. Jose — What’s the matter, little girl? Linda — They say the good die young and I’m so blamed good. The last original given the Seniors before The Oriole went to press: “Given the width of a boy’s ear, to find color of of his tie.” (This made them “see red.”) Lois — Alton is a nice boy, isn’t he? Thelma — Yes, but I hear he takes a glass of lemonade now and then. Hamlet says “the play’s the thing.” The Seniors say “to play’s the thing.” THE ORIOLE IX Miss Finks — Lena, never hand a knife to any one with the blade pointing toward them. Lena Gray — Why? M iss Finks — W ell, in the first place it isn’t the polite thing to do. Lena — Oh, well, that’s all right then. I thought maybe it was bad luck. “Miss Thomas wants a cabin up on top Peak Knob, Where she can be far away from that High School mob. Miss Mary, please don’t leave us, For what would this school be Without your helpful presence And your History.’’ PERSONALS Two questions have upset me And for these I beg your pardon, Whose heart did Joe Dent And whose did Marvin Harden? Two more I have for you, Now answer me I say, Why is Sylvi-a Byrd And why is Lena Gray? I ask for two answers And then I will be done, What did Crystal Frye And wouldn’t she give Ethel Nunn? IN THE SENIOR ROOM Delrhey — Miss Finks, please convey to my mind the mean- ing of the word “hobo.” M iss Finks — That is the consuetudinary designation of an indigent traveler. FINIS Here lie the bodies of the dead Oriole staff, They worked and worked ’till they went clean daff. They did cuss and scold To make this Oriole, That faithful Oriole staff! O N a quiet spring morning the faint chirp of The Oriole was heard through the halls of P. H. S. It had come to build its nest for the first time among us and we received it with open arms. It is yet young and its wings are being tried for the first time, but we feel sure that, under the loving care of those who follow us, our Oriole will become stronger, and that each year something may be added to it to better qualify it to be called a product of Pulaski High School.

THE MUNIFICENCE OF MILK IT MAKES THE WEAK STRONG AND THE STRONG STRONGER “ Hardly worth raising. That is what they said about little Willie Earley in the summer of his ninth year. Willie was 5.9 per cent under- weight and 6.2 inches below the average height for his age. He began taking milk for his breakfast and supper, as well as a glass in the middle of the fore- noon and afternoon. In twelve weeks Willie was four pounds above the average for his height and on the milk diet has been gaining ever since. Happy and carefree, he is an entirely different child, the equal of any of his associates in school or at play. Underweight may be due to a number of reasons — overwork, inheritance, lack of sleep, defect and disease, but the chief cause is diet. If the food supply is insufficient, the body itself is burned to provide energy. Unsuitable food and drink such as tea or coffee, instead of milk, are just as disastrous as insufficient food. Milk is the ideal food — milk is fundamental. Milk is the basic food with which prize winning animals are produced, and before the fashionable, finicky appetites of modern civili- zation were developed, it was the food with which strong men and women were fashioned as well. Milk contains all of the factors necessary in the diet for adequate nourishment . It is the yardstick of nutritive efficiency. In Milk is found a sufficient amount of energy or fuel to supply the bodily needs.

THE OTHER “FRONT” The hobo knocked at the back door, and the lady of the house appeared. “Lady, I was at the front ” “You poor man! Wait until I give you some food before you tell me about it.” And after the slaughter she inquired rather anxiously, “And what brave deed did you do at the front?” “I knocked, but I couldn’t make nobody hear, so I come ’round to the back .” — Virginia Reel.
