MASCOT “ Snookums THE ORIOLE 15 Class of Twenty-Two S ING a song of sixpence, Which we haven ' t got, One and twenty seniors, all right on the spot : This is “Doc” Groseclose, good sport all around; If there’s any mischief he started it, I’m bound. This is Georgia Thomas, biggest flirt in school; Watch out, little boy! or you’ll be the fool. Here’s Bessie Allison, friend of all in town; If she’s ever missing I ’spect she’s Bl acksburg bound. This is — Mercy me! What’s that? You tho’t it was a tent? It’s only “Baby” Trolinger; I’m sure what you said was well meant. Let’s introduce you to Crystal Frye, Latin is her hobby; “Nota bene:” some day you’ll meet her in Congressional lobby. This is Theo. Derrick, second to none; When the rest of us are just started Theo. is always done. Meet “Iki” Dawson; first in French, he; In that one class he’s a star, just wait and you’ll see. Enter Vera Moorefield, “Curly Locks” I mean; All there is Vera— best pal you’ve ever seen. Mary Duncan calmly strolls upon our little stage, And her making excuses to Mr. Eckman seems to be the rage. Here comes Vara Smith, musician to the collar, And from there on up is a long way from being “holler.” This is Blanche Vaughn, calm and dignified, Who is usually much needed to uphold the senior pride. Here’s to Louise Fitzhugh, so graceful and so slim; If there’s anything around to eat she goes at it with a vim. Here’s Janet Baldwin, of the P. E. P. Club, But when it comes to honors she never is a dub. This is Dollie Kasey, leader in smiles; When it comes to happiness she’s got us all beat miles. There is Agnes Carico, she’s all the way from Fries; She’s very, very quiet ' — she doesn’t even sneeze- Next is Linda Conduff, “Shorty,” of Twenty-Two; If you ever need any aid Linda will surely help you through. “Little Mary” Amburn, senior to the dot, But when the bell begins to ring she’s never on the spot. 16 THE ORIOLE Ethel Quesenberry is the next in line, And she only takes three subjects of all the fifty-nine. That’s Dorothy Chandler peeping around the door; Dot knows High School Alphabet, and a few things more. Here comes Nannie Dalton, pretty, smiling, sweet; Why is she smiling? She just met Herman on the street! This is Yernelle Harden, last but certainly not least — Grandest singer of our town, and probably of the east. When the fall term opened these Seniors began to sing: “Look at us, just look at us; we graduate next spring!” Mary Amburn, ' 22. THE ORIOLE 17 BESSIE COPELAND ALLISON “There is none like her — none.’’ Vice-President P. E. P.; Secretary Glee Clt.b; Art Editor Oriole. Bece” is decidedly the sunshine of the class. Jolly, merry, and sym- pathetic, she is the same good friend - yesterday, today, and forever. But listen. Have you heard her sing? Well, if you haven’t you’ve missed a treat. MARY ELIZABETH AM BURN “ Beware when the Great God lets loose a great thinker on this planet.” Glee Club; Literary Editor Oriole ; Class Historian. Mary is one of our most literary members and we are not sure whether future generations will have to learn “reams” of characteristics and con- tributions or whether she will be a lawyer anti uphold her side of the argument. She may do both who knows? JANET HENDERSON BALDWIN “Love me, love my dog. Secretary Senior Class ' 22; Glee Club; P. E. P. ; Assistant Joke Editor. Whenever we see “Prince” we know that Janet is just around the corner. But leaving him out just this once Janet is a loyal member of ’22, and she helps to make our class the best ever. “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy” is John’s opinion, and she evens up her studies and her good times. We are all glad Janet is a member of ’22. iiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiniinnmt 18 THE ORIOLE AGNES BOYER CARICO “The counties s gold of a merry heart, The rubies and fearls of a loving eye.’’ Glee Club; Joke Editor Oriole. We used to he rather in awe of Agnes because of her dignity; now all is changed, for how can one go through a siege of whooping-cough and retain one’s dignity? So the awe is gone and in its place remains friend- ship for Agnes and best wishes for her in her college career. DOROTHY MAY CHANDLER “A light heart lives long. ' ' P. E. P. Club; Bobby Club: Glee Club; Club Editor Oriole. Whenever old ’22 has a spell of the blues, “Dot’s” gay little laugh is sure to help. Now don’t get the idea that she doesn’t study, because she does, and she is always ready to do her share and come up smiling! LINDA EMILY CONDUFF “A wee bonnie lass like a sweet wild rose. ' ' Secretary and Treasurer of Class’ 19, ’20, ' 21, ' 22; Business Manager Glee Club; Re- porter Literary Society; Literary Editor Oriole. Although Linda is small, she is one of the best in our class. She always succeeds in making high marks, and she likes a good time, but she prefers it out of school. We will al- ways remember her as one of the “big little girls” of our class. THE ORIOLE 19 NANNIE ESTHER DALTON “I ' ll never blame my partial fancy. Nothing cor Id resist my Nancy. Glee Club; Bobbie Club; P. E. P. Club; Athletic Editor Oriole. We are not socially inclined, as a whole, but no class should be selfish with its beauty. That’s why we can’t keep Nancy out of society and from joining nearly every club in school Anyway she excels in Chem- istry by breaking out the bottom of the test tubes, turning over the acids, and analyzing the broken fragments of a former beaker. RAYMOND LLOYD DAWSON “O this learning ! What a thing it isl” Glee Club; Literary Editor Oriole. “Iki” never says very much, but we all know how life brightens for him when French class comes around. He’s a regular fellow, and we all wish him the best of luck. LEORA THEODOSIA DERRICK “ Fair as the day, and sued as May, Fair as the day, and always gay. Editor-in-Chief Oriole ; Vice-President Lit- erary Society ’21, ’22; President Literary Society ’22; President P. E. P. Club; Glee Club. Theo. is the competent pilot of ’22. She is always cool, calm, and dainty. During one of our stormy class tus- scls, the rest of us are just “wild,” but Theo. stays as firm as the Rock of Gibraltar, and finally leads us back to place and quiet again. Her ir- resistible good humor and her fine sympathy will continue to draw hearts to her. 20 THE ORIOLE MARY JANE DUNCAN “ Her unconquered mirth turns quieter not through her own, but through others’ woe. Assistant Eilitor-in-Chief of Oriole; Manager of Basketball Team; Vice-President of Athletic Association; P. E. P.: Glee Club; Rest natured in “Who-Zoo.” When we think of Mary, we think of a good-natured and honest student. Site doesn’t seem to worry about her work or anything else, but she always succeeds in passing her exams. Alary is a good sport and when she goes into a basketball game she goes into win. She has been with us a long time and we wish her a bright and happy future. LOUISE RANDOLPH FITZHUGII “ Freedom I love and form I hate. Biggest eater in “Who-Zoo”; Joke Editor; Glee Club. “Aw! it don’t matter! What do we care?” seems to be the philosophy of Louise’s life. Whether it is stay- ing in, failing on an exam, or taking a scolding, she takes it all with cheer- ful optimism. This happv-go-lucki- ness causes her to be liked by all. Her likes and dislikes are summed up shortly: She likes to eat and she detests being tall. MINNIE CRYSTAL FRYE “Away with him ! Away with him He speaks Latin. Glee Club; Athletic Association. Latin is just about the only thing that can make “Crys” lose her good nature, but she has plenty of sym- pathy. She doesn’t believe in taking studying too seriously nor too light- ly, and we predict a blight future for her. THE ORIOLE 21 EUGENE S. GROSECLOSE “Oh ' tis a peerless boy Fearless, ingenuous, courteous, capable.” President Senior Class; President Athletic Association; President Glee Club; Ath- letic Editor Oriole; Captain Baseball Team 1021-1922; Most popular boy in “Who-ZoOs.” An eraser whizzes past; you look around and see a freckle-faced youth, studying innocently, and decide he couldn’t have been the author; you turn away, then a merry laugh greets you. Caught by its infectious- ness, you chuckle and forget the deed. That’s Eugene or “Doc” of ' 22. On the football field you see another something streak by you on the way to the goal. Don’t think it’s an eraser, for it’s Doc himself. MARION VERNELLE HARDEN “ There is a method in all things.” Glee Club; Chairman Program Committee Second Term; Athletic Editor Here is a student who is always calm and who enjoys peace. Life is not always a joke with her, be- cause she works hard in everything. She will always be remembered as a calm, good-natured student, and al- ways ready for her share of the fun. DOLLIE NORA KASEY “She always strives to love and bless All who live this little life, Soothing sorrows, calming strife.” Assistant Business Manager of Oriole; P. E. P.; President Class ’19, ’20; President Class ’20, ’21; Glee Club. Dollie is a person designed to help settle “scraps.” In our class meet- ings we always get her opinion to determine our own. We all look up to her because she is — well, rather tall! As a tonic for low spirits noth- ing is better than her cheerfulness. She assures us, one and all, that we can’t fail this year. Here’s luck, Dollie, for we know you won’t fail in anything. mm 22 THE ORIOLE VERA JAMES MOOREFIELD “I shall either find a way or make one.” Acl Editor Oriole; Glee Club. “Oh, what a pal is Vera.” Al- ways sympathizing with us when we’re grouchy. But we all felt asham- ed of our laments when Vera came to school on crutches for three weeks and didn’t utter a word of complaint. We had always thought her the best sport of our class, but this proved it. She is always willing to help us in our work and play, besides being the most studious Senior. ETHEL MAY QIJESENBERRY “Speak oj me as I am.” Assistant Joke Editor Oriole; Glee Club. Ethel ' s name was awfully far down the roll, but we have only first rate things to say of her. She wanted an education so badly that she even took a summer course at the Normal, which certainly proves her persever- ance in studies as well as in every- thing else. VARA KATE SMITH “ Your charming melody doth prove That the beauty oj your mind Neither cheek nor chain hath found.” Assistant Ad Editor; Glc-e Club. We always know when a new song or a new bit of music is introduced, for then Vara hums to herself and drums out bits of music on the imag- inary keys of her desk; she executes the newest dances out while standing at the blackboard. Although a Sen- ior Vara is fondest of th e Freshman room — perhaps for old times’ sake; we wonder! aiii iniiniumtmiitntiuiiinntmiaiii i v THE ORIOLE 23 GEORGIA DALTON THOMAS “I pray you let us satisfy our eyes. Bobby Club; Glee Club; Ad Editor Oriole. If you do not get get through talking at recess, finish in school. That is how Georgia feels about it. She always enjoys a good time. But when it comes to studying she can do it, an always gets through all right, so why worry? She has made the class of ’22 a happy one, and what ever she does she is sure to have many friends. JAMES THOMAS TROLINGER “Oh, hoie full of briers is this worh-a-day world.” Treasurer of Class ' 22; Business Manager Oriole ’2 2; Manager P. H. S. Baseball Team; President of Virginia Literary Society ’22 (First term); Testator of Class ’22. Jim’s motto is “Don’t study your lessons if you can get them any other way.” Nevertheless we wouldn’t fake worlds for him because he is one of the greatest in the class, being about six feet in height and weighing nearly two hundred. Due to his greatness, maybe, he is the best orator, and when he begins we’re all “attention!” VIOLA BLANCHE VAUGHN “Fair and learned and good is she. Glee Club; Class Prophot; Literary Editor Oriole. A real student who doesn’t try to display her knowledge, but who is Mr. Eckman’s star French pupil. Ofhers may fail him but never Blanche. It is an acknowledged fact among Seniors that Blanche wall not do wrong even if we do, and always up- holds the dignity of our undignified class. 24 THE ORIOLE Class History H IGH SCHOOL RIVER looked very inviting, smooth, and clear; the sun, which was setting on our Grammar Grade lives, sparkled and played over the waters; the little boats which were destined for our journey down the river danced and tugged at their moorings as if they too wish- ed to be on their way. We hurried down to Freshman Dock, a laughing, chattering, merry crowd of boys and girls. Seeing that everything was ready for our departure on the way to Senior Land, we jumped into our boats, waving a laughing good-bye to the friends assembled to see us shove off. At first the boating was easy and the current carried us onward without rowing. Some one laughed, “I thought it was going to be hard. How silly we were.” Suddenly we came to English Shallows; there was not the tiniest wave or breath of air to carry us onward, but a bit of rowing carried us safely through, but alas, we had hardly emerged when crash! we struck the Reefs of Ancient History. Then you should have seen us plugging up the holes in our boats and bailing out the water. Sighs and groans were heard from every side, then a girl said, ‘‘We should have watched; if we had been studying the charts instead of playing we would have missed this altogether.” A boy replied, ‘‘Humph, now isn’t that just like a girl? I’ve never heard of any one getting by here unscathed.” A heavy mist fell over the river; night was coming on; we sensed rather than saw that we were going through some rapids. ‘‘Now, what on earth are we up against?” came a plaintive voice from out of the surrounding darkness. The reply from some one who had taken the advice and ‘‘studied the charts” was not cheer- ing: ‘‘Algebra Mists and Latin Rapids all i n one fell swoop.” The boats scraped against each other in the darkness; hard work was needed to keep them above the surface. Now and then a despairing voice was heard from the shore, ‘‘I’m going to quit. I won’t be caught in that mess again.” When at last we emerg- ed from the misty rapids into the moonlight our number was sadly depleted. Our sorrow was alleviated, however, by a happy sight — Sophomore Landing. Here we stopped for a short rest before we re-embarked for pur long journey. ‘‘Sophomore Stretch shouldn’t be so hard. It’s just like the Freshman,” said one optimist, hopefully. ‘‘Pshaw, you never can tell,” said the pessimist, ‘‘besides there’s Science and THE ORIOLE 25 we have to meet Caesar somewhere.” A shudder greeted this dread thought. By hard rowing the old obstacles were sur- mounted, so when we came to an expanse of water studded by igne- ous and metamorphic rocks we were surprised to hear that these were the dreaded Scientific Rocks. Emboldened by this we exclaimed boastfully, ‘‘Look, Mr. Pessimist, watch how easily we can get through this.” But, indeed pride does go before a fall, for many hard knocks and bumps were received before we reached Junior W harf. Oh, with what trepidations we started on the unknown Junior Waters, for now the river was wider and more treacherous; here there were sharp bends like angles, sand-bars were placed in every possible way, forming triangles, perpendiculars, and even circles; these had to be studied carefully by a handbook called “Plane Geometry,” before we could discover the secret passageway. W T e thought our troubles about ended when, horror of horrors! We heard a sound as if of Charybdis; we could only wait terror stricken, our oars lax in our hands, while the boats were pulled forward by some unseen force. We turned a bend in the river and saw before us an awe inspiring sight; a huge whirlpool, stretching from bank to bank, seething and foaming and drawing all things involuntarily into its clutches. Going around and around in it were boats, with their occupants left by some previous expedition. Their boats were drawn to the very center of the maelstrom, then with a convul- sive upheaval they were cast to the outer edge, then the perform- ance would be repeated. “Steer clear!” “Steer clear!” they shrieked at us. “Don’t get caught in Caesar Whirlpool.” Steer clear ? How we wished we were able. It was a useless exhortation; we could no more have steered clear than have sprouted wings. Irresistibly we were drawn forward into the pool. Out poor heads grew dizzy from out gyrations; round and round, would it never stop? Why should our hopes be raised so hopelessly by that fling to the outer circle? Now and then one or two would manage by hard work and skill! ul manage- ment to get outside. They would keep as close to the whirl- pool as they dared and help some of the rest to get over, but some could not be rescued so we were obliged to leave them. We were so dizzy and nerve wracked that we were hardly able to cope with a storm of Physics which arose immediately after- wards, but we got our bearings and were soon able to pass on- ward. During the faint gray hours of morning we anchored before the Senior Entrance Gates. We were tired and exhaust- 26 THE ORIOLE ed but we were eager to see what lay beyond and hated the little time which elapsed before the gates were unlocked. At last the gates swung open; our boats shot forward as thoroughbreds going over the last hurdle. We were not able to keep this pace long however, for soon we ran into solids form- ed as prisms, cylinders, tetrahedrons, and other unpronounc- able things. What imagination we had left from Caesar Whirl- pool was expended in imagining the other sides to these figures, but at last we threaded our way through. Beyond us there was a rough expanse of water. “Now, what kind of storm was this?” was the query. “Irregular French Verbs,” was the reply. “No hope! No hope!” the waves seemed to moan in our ears. It did seem hopeless at first, but our endeavors were rewarded with victory. Some of our number complained of the Chemistry Falls, for here, so the tale was told, were acids whose fumes were chok- ing, chemicals which exploded and burnt one, and there was broken glass flying in the air and many other unendurable things. Now, however, there was only one more obstacle in our way, Examination Shoals, but the little craft stood even these. A faint light appeared in the east; the morning sun showed its rim above the horizon; the mists rolled away from the river, and the curtain of night faded. The heaven’s blue was scudded here and there by fleecy white clouds; a song, sweet and clear, was heard; our eyes looked upward; there was a flash of black and golden wings; the glorious sun smiled kindly as we earth bound mortals tried to do something worthy of The Oriole of ’22. Our very boats responded and darted forward under this stimulus, to the goal where we will receive our rewards — our Diplomas — and we will find ourselves on the Sea of Life, drawn forward b v the unseen threads of Fate to what storms or havens that Fickle Goddess alone can know. Mary E. Amburn, ' 22 . THE ORIOLE 27 Class Prophecy Of Fate I begged, near tears, That She might fitting see To look along the coming years, Then say what we should be. Kind friends, by me asked to insist That She more helpful be, Prevailed at last: She cleared the mist And let us further see. One moment — then the mist closed in, Then all as ’twas before; But in that glimpse what there had been To sec and hear — and more. Louise will be a movie star; For Ethel teaching school; Vcrnelle great things will make or mar With science as her tool. In French will Dawson grammars write Where “icis” are the rage, To be a cook is Baldwin’s plight; And Frye’s, an editor sage. A missionary, Smith is for; For Moorefield, farmer free, And Nannie, of some man o’ war Is “mate” indeed to be. Among famed law firms one can see The “Duncan-Kasey’s” name; And Amburn’s plays indeed ’twill be That near Shakespearian fame. And Jim an orator so great, So charming and so grand ; He might persuade one risk one’s fate At Dentist Chandler’s hand. 2S THE ORIOLE A shop antique will Georgia keep — Where all’s antique? Not she. And there, if you will take a peep, M iss Conduff’s paintings see! A senator is Carico, One honored near and far; And famous clown of famous show Is Eugene, e’en now a star. And, even as the mist closed in, There came from out that sea Piano and voice such as ne’er has been — It must Theo and Bessie be. Such strains, so sweetly filled the air, Then slowly died away, Giving a glimpse of what is there And what will be some day. Blanche Vaughn, ' 22. THE ORIOLE 29 Last Will and Testament W E, the Senior Class of Pulaski High School of 1921-22, do solemnly will and bequeath to our classmates, teachers, and different organizations in the town and community all of our property both real and personal: First: The Senior Class of ’22 hereby wills to the Juniors, as our predecessors have willed to us, a little bird which has been handed down to us and which we call “ The Oriole. This lit- tle bird has been nursed for two years by very tender hands and we hope it will live for many years to come and not die from lack of attention. We also will to the Juniors the little moral which has hung above the cloakroom door for many years and which has helped us a great many times when in the act of throwing an eraser, by a glance at it. Again, we will our ther- mometer, which has hung by the door for so long that most all of the mercury in it has evaporated; however, aside from all this, it is never off more than fifteen degrees. Second: To the remainder of the high school we will the right to become Seniors in not more than four or less than three years. Third: To the American Red Cross organization we will the well-equipped “Medicine Chest” which is located in the cloakroom of the fifth grade. This chest contains one empty bottle of iodine and two bent “safety” pins. Fourth: Ethel Ouesenberry wills her “Normal” education to Beveridge Roberts. Dorothy Chandler wills her “rep” of being the smallest girl in the Senior class to Lillian Pack. Nannie Dalton wills her bobbed hair to Nannettc Living- ston. She also wills her “good looks” to Ethel Lewey. Vernelle Harden wills her position as ticket seller to Robert Bunts. Louise Fitzhugh wills her great height to Marjorie Chandler. Mary Amburn wills her desire for studying to Charles Dean. Linda Conduff wills her blue sweater to Daisy Lou Mathe- ney. Agnes Carico wills to Marshall Runion her cute little smile. 30 THE ORIOLE Dollie Kasey wills her sympathy for her classmates to Gerard Southern. Mary Duncan wills her position as door keeper to Dorothy Jameson. Vara Smith wills her ukulele to Hastwell Sizer. Blanche Vaughn wills her “A+” deportment to William Lowman. Janet Baldwin wills her old school books to Clarence Miller. Vera Moorefield wills her crutches to Minnie Cannaday. Raymond Dawson wills his nickname of “Iki” to William Bones. Theo Derrick wills her editorship of The Oriole to Anna Allison. She also wills her common sense to William Allison. Crystal Frye wills her knowledge of Math, to Alton Duncan. Eugene Groseclosc wills his saxaphone to Billy Cheves. He also wills to Sena Thompson the honor of being President of the Senior Class. Georgia Thomas wills her flirting ability to Wittie Ellis. Bessie Allison wills her fame as a singer to John Cox. James Trolinger wills the managership of The Oriole to Julian Moyers. Fifth: The Senior Class wills to the faculty the following: To Mr. Elliott, a class that will not remain in their room at every recess, and we also will our many thanks to him for the advice he gave us during the year. To Mr. Eckman, a French class that will study at least forty minutes each night and also a Chemistry class that will not take advantage of the small “Lab” fee and break up more than a dozen test tubes each day. To Miss Finks, an English class that will always be prompt to have their parallels read, and one that will not groan and kick when an assignment of thirty pages a night is made. To Miss Thomas, a History class that will sit up straight, put away all playthings, and give her every bit of their attention. To Miss Watts, a Latin class that can write Latin such as Caesar himself could not read. To Miss Rolston, a Geometry class that can take a twenty- foot pole and by means of finding the area of a cone make it look like a Stutz Bearcat. In testimony whereof we ha ve written and signed, and do hereby declare this paper, this twenty-fourth day of May, to be our last Will and Testament. James Trolinger, ' 22. THE ORIOLE 31 Class Song Tune: 11 Why, Dear?” Dear old school that we hate to leave, To thee our thoughts will ever cleave; Whatever the fate of our dear class may be, Our thoughts will ever turn to thee. Out into the world each one must go, As to the place we fill we do not know. But in the years to come we’ll look back with a sigh — Dear P. H. S. will never die. Who knows how far from home each one may go? Whether the heights we climb be high or low? But now our hearts are gay, ambitious, and true, Each member of the Class of Twenty-Two. Chorus: W hy, why must we leave you? Our friend you have been; Our love is true, Each one of twenty-two. Oh, why are we grieving As we are leaving? Dear school we love so, W T e must go.

Still the June Bugs always intend to do their part in whatever work is at hand. They hope to accomplish wonderful things in the future, performing well whatever work is assigned to them in the play of the world. But the hopes and aims of the class, of things to be, are not the subject. What has already been achieved is the “question for discussion.” We have always managed to have our share of any of the fun, which is current practically all of the time — and it has sometimes been almost to the distraction of our teachers. Of course, we are serious at times- — such as during “Mid-Years” or “Finals,” but, thank goodness, they don’t come every day! Each New Year we turn over a new leaf of the required size examination theme paper. We make new resolutions when we get our papers back! (They are sometimes demanded by those whose pleasure it is to instruct us.) We really do have times of truly hard work — that is, most of us. But no one feels very energetic during April and May. We aren’t different from other people, in that we have our trials and troubles. The main cause of our worry is lack of ready money. Another grievance is having the room either too hot or too cold. We feel that this is unjust, for we are not to blame. And how we do cry for justice! What consternation is caused when the bell for dismissal is rung a few minutes too late, thus preventing us from leaving promptly at half past three, thereby losing pleasant moments of recreation. We arc forbidden, by those who have us in their, charge to be, under any circumstances, tardy. Then, ought not they to be as strict with themselves as with us? Here you have the attitude of the June Bugs toward instructors (both male and female). Usually though, this viewpoint is expounded on the rostrum, as in debates. Really we don’t use such terms in our “every day” conversation. In fact, in regard to lessons, we are some- times inclined to be dumb. We are the fellow-sufferers and sympathizers with the other students of P. H. S., and we know what school is like. Also, we surely will be glad when our own glad Commencement Day THE ORIOLE 35 condescends to come nearer than from that far off horizon, but — well it’s a mighty fine school after all, and we June Bugs realize it, as does every one else — so we are still back of it, as we have been for many years and as we intend always to be, even after we have left its portals at three minutes past half- past three o’clock for the last time.

Our class has traveled the same road as the class before us, even though each succeeding year may bring improvements and advancements that experience may suggest. Vet there is a difference ; each individual member brings into the class their own individuality and carries away with them all those things of value, that industry and hard work have given, leaving the storehouse of Knowledge as full and com- plete as before, awaiting the coming of our successors. We are happy now that we stand at the half-way point and are able to view with satisfaction the accomplishments of two years of high school life, and looking forward with eager- ness, shall go to meet all those joys and sorrows that lie hidden in the days that will make up the next two years. We are proud of our past history and gladly await the future. It is true that as the road gets higher and steeper some may falter by the wayside, growing weary, or others may turn out of the path and fall asleep in the shade of the trees or even turn back altogether; but we are sure that the class of ’24 will press on with flying colors until we reach the top. Some history is dull and uninteresting, but to us the past two years is not so. Our High School experience is full of vital interest. Each happening will be remembered and cherished in the years to come. As we have studied each subject taught us and have noted the unfolding of the mysteries in Science, Latin, History, English, and Mathematics, we have wondered sometimes “what is the use,” but having been told that by some mysterious process, only understood by our teachers, that it is for the development of our minds, we have blindly stumbled on and watched our heads grow larger, even if our shadows have grown less. To our teachers and their untiring efforts in our behalf, we wish to express our highest appreciation. They have certainly worked wonders and we hope some day to see them partly repaid. To the Ereshmen we say, “Step up higher,” and we shall take our stand as Juniors with renewed determination to make a high record, to do our best to maintain that high standard of the past, and at the end of the road of Knowledge to be able to say, “V enimns, vidimus, vicimus.

Looking over the time that has elapsed since September, we find that together with the efficient staff of teachers, our class has made remarkable progress in work, in athletics, and in literary achievements. Our most renowned athletes are Miller Lindamood and Ethel Nunn. For themselves and for their class they have made a record. In literary work Theodore Hall has honored the class by making a distinguished record. Theodore repre- sents the High School in the preliminaries for the State contest to be held at Charlottesville. We, the Freshman Class, with our record unbroken and looking forward to a bright future, are approaching the fall of 1922 as Sophomores and are all looking forward to that time when we shall be called Seniors.

We, the highest form of life, the rulers of the earth, can smile. We do not realize our heritage, and many of us fail to avail our- selves of our high privilege. It is said that Adam and Eve did not know how to smile when they were in the Garden of Eden. W hen the golden gates were closed against them forever they were very unhappy. They had lost God; He no longer walked with them as He had done in the garden. One day they learned to smile, and the smile brought God down from Heaven and He also was smiling. And today, whether we smile with our lips, our hearts, or better still with our lives, we should smile. Some one has estimated that it takes less than half the num- ber of muscles to smile than it does to frown. Why not save our energy — and smile? In that “road” which we all leave behind us in life— the Road of the Loving Heart — the frowns leave great rocks to hurt the ones who must travel after we have passed. Each smile leaves the smooth stretches, and passes the light on to them. But human beings are very contrary. We say that “the longest way around is the shortest way home.” Do you believe it? Sometimes there is no smile in our hearts, the way may seem dark and dreary, yet if we smile with our lips and pretend that we are happy, even if we are not, we may make others, at least, think we are. And some times we deceive ourselves. “Every cloud has its silver lining.” Let us give our hearts the benefit of the doubt, and things will come out all right if we smile. Smiles won the World War. This is a broad statement, but true nevertheless. The morale of the American soldiers won the war; they smiled! The backing of the American peo- ple won the war — they smiled; even through their tears soldiers smiled as they went “west;” mothers smiled as they told their sons good-bye. Were their hearts smiling? No, a thousand times no! But their lips were — and it paid. Marshal Foch, in his farewell address to the American soldiers, said: “When first I met you and came to admire you as fighters, cheerful, THE ORIOLE 49 subject to discipline under your splendid leader, General Per- shing, the days were dark indeed. Yet you smiled then as you fought, and your cheerfulness and bravery helped much to bring us victory and peace.” The glory of the sun is nature’s smile. As the sunlight causes the response of the flowers, of the birds, and of all life, so human smiles shed their rays on the animate world. ‘‘The light of the whole world dies when the day is done,” and even the “man in the moon” still smiles! Some people say it is because he knows so many secrets, but the real reason is that the world could not live, even at night, without nature’s smile. In the morning when the sun first peeps over the eastern hills, he is greeted by the dewey morning glory. Then as he ascends the heavens, shining with all his glory at noon, the world seems to stir and smile, basking in the golden flood of light. And in the evening, as he sinks to rest in the western sky, his parting smile is reflected by the “Queen of the Flowers,” who has caught her own lovely rose-colored smile from the sun. Woodrow Wilson, the highest type of American manhood, the advocate of universal peace, which would forever banish frowning war and usher in the smile of everlasting peace, has chosen, of all smiles, the best — the Beautiful Smile of a great life. Posterity will reap the full harvest of his ideals. Youth lives, not in the past, not even in the present, but in the future. Our own Beautiful Smiles lie before us. Let us live then, shedding our effulgent rays on every side as w r e go down the grooves of change, and thus light the way for others. Theodosia Derrick, ' 22. 50 THE ORIOLE Education W HAT is an education? Education is a long, rocky, rugged road leading from darkness into light. It is a torch, as it were, lighting the way from ignorance, illiteracy, and a lack of appreciation to intelligence, independ- ence, and appreciation of all that is high and noble and good. At first the light of the torch was very small, whose weak strug- gling beams were shed upon and received only bv ' those who could afford such a precious thing, and possibly by some whose ideas were high enough and whose will-power was strong enough to persevere and sacrifice for it. Since then the light of the torch has grown until now it sheds its beams and showers its blessings upon the greater part of the world. Though the blessings of this torch are abroad there are yet many who do not take advantage of it. Take the young man who is indifferent toward the educational part of his life, who thinks his own way the best — to him the torch sends a darken- ing light, frowns upon him, burdens him and burns his conscience. Yet, he forces himself to enjoy life until the time comes when he needs his education. He has grown to the age of independ- ence, to a place where he must make his own way; he cannot find work suited to his ability, all fortune seems turned against him. Oh! how often did he hear, with regret, in his application, this question, “Boy, how much schooling have you had?” Truly he thinks of what he could have been. But it is not what he could have been, but simply what he is, and regret, which in the end is nothing but due punishment for wrongdoing and can help but little. On the other hand, take the person whose ideals and am- bitions are lofty; to him education holds outstretched hand and presents a beaming, smiling face promising to him rare treasures, qualities, and blessings foreign to those who cannot or will not experience it. Though the way is long and rugged, though at times one may become discouraged, though its trials and tribulations are numerous, to the true, diligent, and faithful student its value is precious. Its worth when obtained could not be changed for anything else in the wot Id save salvation, to which, I think, an education is only second in life. When we think of the value of an education to an individ- ual, this is only a small part in its value and importance to a THE ORIOLE 51 community, a state, and to a nation as a whole. Just as an education has taken man as an individual from the depths of ignorance, illiteracy, and poverty and raised to a plane from which he might see and know a new happiness, just as it has developed him to that point where he can feel a higher sense of beauty, character, and honor, so it has raised the civilization of our nation, just so it has broadened the minds of our people making them the purest and the best that can be found. And now, what would we do without it? And finally, what is that thing which is too much to do for it? Nannettc Livingston , ’2?. 52 THE ORIOLE The Drop-Kick I T was a clear crisp day, late in November — an ideal day for football. The bleachers surrounding the gridiron of St. Mary’s were packed. People were standing along the side-lines waiting for t he greatest game of the season to be played, the greatest because it was to be played between the ancient rivals, St. Mary’s and Rockwood. Last year Rockwood had won, and all the players on St. Mary’s team were going to play their best. The whistle blew, a hush fell over the field as Johnson of St. Mary’s kicked off, far into Rockwood’s territory. Every one was cheering and enjoying the game except James Bartly, who was sitting on the substitute bench. Apparently he was watching the game, but his mind was on something else. He was thinking over his past life at St. Mary’s. He had come there as a freshman four years past, and had tried for the football team, but did not even make the second team that year. In his sophomore year he played on the sec- ond eleven and got to play in some of the smaller games. He came back to St. Mary’s the next year thinking he would be a member of the first team, but something was lacking. He worked mechanically and put neither pep nor drive into his plays. Thus his third year passed with him not nearer the first team than before, and the one ambition of every St. Mary’s man was to play against Rockwood and to win. When he reported for practice the first afternoon, in his last year at St. Mary’s, the coaches had seen a change in him. He was trying for the same position as usual, right half-back. It was found that he could drop-kick especially well and the choaches had said that if he kept the pep up he started with, he would make the first team. So the first game played be- tween the Scrubs and the Varsity found Bartly playing on the Varsity. During the season he had made a fine record and then in the third game before the big game with Rockwood, while playing unusually well, he was carried off the field with a badly hurt knee. When at last he reported for practice it was three days before the Rockwood game and Allen had been chosen to play in his place. And now he watched the game being played instead of playing. Early in the first half, a Rockwood end caught a forward pass and made a touchdown. Then Rockwood kicked a goal THE ORIOLE 53 and brought the score to 7 to 0. The noise made by the rooters sounded a dull roar in his ears except occasionally when one side made a good play and its rooters would cheer it the more loudly. At the end of the first half Bartly was brought to life by hearing his name called; Allen was hurt and he was to play. In the first play he was given the ball and made fifteen yards. The ball was now in Rockwood’s territory. In the next play St. Mary’s fumbled and Rockwood recovered the ball, but had to punt out of danger. St. Mary’s now had the ball on their third yard line. Bartly dropped back as if to punt, instead he threw a sixty-vard pass to Cardwell, and after a series of line plunges St. Mary’s made a touchdown. The rooters went wild. Bartly was playing a brilliant game, being everywhere, tackling good, and playing a game never equaled on St. Mary’s held. A touchdown was made, but Johnson failed to kick goal; that left the score 7 to 6 in favor of Rockwood, and there were only forty minutes to play. Rockwood kicked off. and it was St. Mary’s ball on their own twenty-yard line. Bartly threw a pass which took them down the held twenty yards more. There were only forty seconds to play; they could not possibly make a touchdown in that time. There was only one chance left — a drop-kick. Would the line hold? Could he kick against that freshening breeze? It was a chance to win, however, so it was tried. He dropped back to kick, the ball was snapped, the line broke, but the ball sailed high over the heads of the on- coming Rockwood players and on over the crossbar. The whistle sounded. St. Mary’s had won by two points. Bartly was hoisted to the shoulders of the boys and carried at the head of the snake dance, and he was supremely happy for he had play- ed against Rockwood and had won.

We began practice in earnest under the direction of Coach Allen F. Hall and were soon in shape for the first game. We opened the season on October 1 by defeating Christiansburg High by the score of 19 to 12 on our home grounds. On October 7 we played the heavy Radford High School team to a 7 to 7 tie. We outplayed our opponents in every way and it was only by weight that they scored on us. Our forward passes seemed to keep the visitors guessing as they did in every game we played. The following Friday, October 14, we suffered a decisive defeat at the hands of Blacksburg High. Our team did not show form that they had in the previous games, but were beaten by one of the best teams of the State by a score of 66 to 0. On next Thursday, October 20, the Orange and Black defeated Wythe- ville High to the tune of 76 to 0. On October 28 our eleven journeyed to Bristol, Ya. The game with the Bristol High was the best game that we played during the whole season. P. H. S. started down the field by successful forward passes and had the rival team guessing. Although we were beaten by a much heavier team by a score of 39 to 0, the spectators gave us credit for the best passes ever seen in Bristol, even by a college eleven. Our team showed the real fighting spirit and again the weight of the opponents was the only cause of the defeat of the Orange and Black. On November 4 we had a strong opponent in the Dublin High, but we launched a defeat of 19 to 0 over the Dublinites on the P. H. S. gridiron. On Armistice Day we were defeated by Christiansburg High by a score of 26 to 7. On the following Friday, November 18, we closed the season by taking the large end of a 14 to 7 score, beating the Dublin High School for the second time on our home grounds. SCHEDULE ' 21-’22 P. II.

The game was very close, but the Orange and Black defeated the opponents by a score of 9 to 6. The second game of the season was taken by the score of 46 to 1. It was an overwhelming defeat for Draper High School, in which the Pulaski forwards completely outclassed their op- ponents. Runion and Bones were the outstanding stars of the game. On November 5 the Orange and Black warriors journeyed to Ivanhoe and came out with the large end of a 63 to 0 victory. Again the Pulaski High forwards had the op- ponents guessing, and though the odds were against them by playing on a foreign court they kept their opponents from scoring. The short season, handicapped by an outside court and bad weather, ended on November 15, when Pulaski High defeated Draper High for the second time that season by a score of 57 to 2. This game was played in Pulaski and was witnessed by a large crowd. Bones and Runion, the stellar forwards for the Orange and Black, were the highest scorers, scoring most all of the points for Pulaski. GAMES Oct. 21 P. H. S. .. . 9 Nov. 4 P. H. S. .. .46 Nov. 5 P.

O, glory, see those Pulaski Scouts, clad in khaki, faces tanned and smiling, as erect in carriage and elastic in step, they file past with beating drums and flying colors. A long time that, for they began coming ten years ago and the end of the column is not yet in sight. In the summer of 1912, two years after the National Boy Fcout movement was launched, Mr. Sam Hurst, then a resi- dent ot Pulaski, invited all boys of scout age in the town to meet with him for the purpose of forming a local troop. Shortly afterwards a full troop of four patrols was duly organized and chartered. These first Scouts of Pulaski went on many hikes and did some camping; however, within a year interest began to wane and ere another twelve months elapsed the organiza- tion had practically disintegrated. Nevertheless a start had been made; good seed had been sown; a splendid boys’ program had been introduced to the community. Troop No. 2 was chartered, in October, 1914, with Mr. Hensel Eckman as Scoutmaster. This body of Scouts was purposely limited by the leader to two patrols only, so that in- tensive work might be done. In the beginning, this was a church troop, originating in the Presbyterian Church, constitu- ted by boys of that congrega tion, and meeting regularly in their house of worship. Later, however, upon application, boys of other denominations were received into the organization and it became an independent troop. Mr. Eckman continued as Scoutmaster of this troop until September 15, 1918, at which time he changed his place of resi- dence to New York City. During this period these Scouts did much hiking, went on a troop camping trip each summer (the favorite site being Foster Falls), and made commendable pro- gress in scoutcraft. While during this time no merit badges were awarded, a few of the boys became first-class Scouts. In the meantime, although Troop No. 2 had absorbed much of the material of Troop No. 1, which disbanded before the or- ganization of No. 2, it became evident in the spring of 1917 that there was an urgent need for two troops in the community. Upon being approached concerning the matter, Mr. Richard Ham consented to form Troop No 3. Fifteen candidates were 80 THE ORIOLE duly registered and the troop duly chartered; but, a few weeks thereafter the Scoutmaster made application to enter an officers’ training camp and necessarily severed his connection with this troop. In the few weeks that Mr. Ham had charge of these Scouts excellent work was done, but his departure was a death blow to the troop. Rev. L. C. Dickerson succeeded Mr. Eckman as Scout- master of Troop No. 2, assuming the duties thereof in October 1918. Thereafter these scouts successively had as their meet- ing places, for periods of time varying in duration, the Baptist Church, a down-town club room, and finally a room in the High School building, at which place the three troops now extant have their in-door meetings. As is indicated by the place of meeting, scouting in Pulaski is more closely affiliated with the public schools than any other institution; and, although the troops are nominally independent, they might properly be called school troops. To enter into the details of this the last period of local Scout history would ’unnecessarily weary those sufficiently in- terested in Pulaski scouting to peruse these paragraphs; and consequently a summary of what has been accomplished will suffice. From the one troop of 25 members have issued forth two additional troops, Nos. 4 and 5, with a total enrollment in all three troops of — — ; instead of one Scoutmaster with no assistant, there are now three Scoutmasters and two assistants; on the first of last January the National Council chartered a local second-class council, constituted by representative citi- zens of Pulaski, to supervise and to provide for scouting in this community; whereas, previously the summer camp had always been a temporary location, in the spring of 1921 the Rotary Club erected and gave to the Scout Council a splendid cabin, which, with a capacity of 100, is used as dining room and kitchen; the interest of the community in scouting is manifested, not only by the Rotarians’ gift, but also by the fact that the Scout Council has decided to give every Scout in good standing, one week in camp this summer without charge; of the number of first-class Scouts now there is no end, not a few have merit badges, two are Veteran Scouts, one is a Star Scout and one was recently awarded the Eagle badge. Such, briefly, is a history of scouting in Pulaski. The humorous things that have happened among these Scouts would, in themselves, afford material for a lengthy essay. The “good turns” done would fill a great volume. A record of THE ORIOLE 81 cigarettes left unlighted and the manhood preserved has been given no place in this sketch. When in a reminiscent mood, one “of the old guard” in- hales again of the rare atmosphere of Mt. Mitchell, hears the roar of Linville Ealls, is made drowsy by the sound of rain pattering on his tent, sits down once more to break bread at the foot of Grandfather’s Mountain with a grand-nephew of Daniel Boone, feels his blood tingle with delightful excitement as he retraces a trail followed in the dead of night through mountains filled with bears. But, scouting in Pulaski is too young to reminisce. It must look to the future. As Scouts become more numerous, the dis- cipline must not be relaxed nor the standard lowered. For- ever, in this community, may the Scout badge retain its sig- nificance, and may an unworthy person never be allowed to wear it. L. C. Dickerson, Scout Commissioner.

Things then we’ll better understand Because we’ll better know. Our hearts, they’ll beat to faster time As basketball we’ll play, Or, as on diamond or gridiron We ' ll fight to not give ’wav.

He was a boy —and he was tempt- ed; and besides he liked melons. “I sneaked up to that cart,” said Mark, “and I stole a melon. I w r ent into an alley to devour it. But I had no sooner set my teeth into it than I paused; a strange feeling came over me. I came to a quick resolution. Firmly, I walked up to that cart, placed the stolen melon where I got it from — and took a ripe one.” An old colored woman, who came in to help by the day, w ' as engaged in clearing away after a bounteous repast which had included a huge watermelon. As she passed through the doorway, carrying in each hand a well-filled can of the glisten- ing melon rind, she turned and, rolling her eyes, said: “Miss Fanny, would you mind if I carried home one o’ dem cans?” “Why, no, Mandy,” was the reply, “but what in the world do you want with it? You don’t keep pigs or chickens.” “La, no, Miss Fanny. I don’t keep no pigs,” said she, laughing. “I jes w’ant to make de neighbors jealous. Dev don’t nebber hab no sich garbage as dis settin’ out- side deir front steps !” — Western Druggist. (97) m m P3 m Y7 e T STO ?£ m PULASKI MOTOR CAR CO.
