I peeped into the doorway. And saw before the class The witty, humorous Robert — Whom we all called Giraffe. He’s talking to Min Cannadav and Anna, And by their smiling faces He’s telling an original joke Characteristic of his race. Across the aisle was Sena And Alice stood quite near, Their signals had a meaning To dance — ’twas very clear. Eliz — she was star-gazing And planning with her might. Her eyes looked heavenward, To her future was most bright. And back in my corner The honored trio stood Beveridge ’Lean and Nance, Having all the fun they could. But Gerard came over — In his winning way, Stood among the girlies, And had very much to say. Gertrude and Dimps were scheming — scheming as before, When Marshall came along And sat them on the floor. All by himself sat Billy Anri reading — can you believe? A History by Muzzey — For the credits he’d receive. But Daisy and “Henri” were spooning — For well I knew when teacher left the room That’s what they’d always do. Mamie and Lillian were Writing a French poem Everyone thought — But refreshments was their subject — All else to them was naught. And Ernest was studying As always he had done: The secret of his successes And the medals he had won. Suddenly they flew to their places, And became quiet like mice. Reason? Miss Thomas entered the room, Who thought them honor bright. Minnie Peirce, ’23 ERNEST LEWEY “ You have deserved high commendation, True applause and love. President Senior Class; President Literary Society; Assistant Editor Oriole; Dramatic Club; Mono- gram Club; Squeakers; Manager Baseball Team; Athletic Editor of Newsless Gazette. Behold our star student. Now what could we do without “Spain”? Ernest proves the exception to the rule for boys. He is very studious and has made high marks all through High School, winning the medal in the Junior year. He is a good-natured sport and always greets his classmates with a broad grin. MINNIE V. PEIRCE “ Of very reverend reputation, Of credit infinite, highly beloved. Assistant Business Manager Oriole; Vice-President Senior Class; Vice- President Dramatic Club; IT. S. Club; Associate Editor of Newsless Gazette. “Min” is a member whom the class, as a whole, could not do without. In time of need, her poetic ability has helped us wonderfully. When she leaves us she says she is going to be a trained nurse, but nursing won’t be her job long — for be- ware of that jaunty little uni- form and that naughty little smile! To her, however, we wish success, whether it be as a trained nurse or as a trained wife. GERARD E. SOUTHERN “A man of good repute, carriage, bearing and estimation. June Bug Club; Secretary Senior Class; Splasher; Squeakers; Dramatic Club; Ad Editor Newsless Gazette; Business Manager Oriole. “Curly” is generally consider- ed as the best looking boy in school. Perhaps his good looks have spoiled him a wee bit — but what do we care? “Take it easy” is a little phrase that particularly applies to him. He has a little of the lazy element in his make up, but when a thing has to be done he can do it, and he has the brain and the ability for that purpose, too, let me tell you? SENA EDNA THOMPSON “Her voice was ever soft, gentle and low; an excellent thing in woman. Assistant Ad Editor Oriole; U. S. Club; Dramatic Club. Some people might think Sena very quiet -but this is because they have never heard her and Anna have a case of giggles. In spite of the fact that this is most annoying to Miss Thomas Sena is the one who can “win her over” no matter how bad everyone has been. And who wouldn’t be won over by that sweet voice and those dancing- eyes? BEVERIDGE ROBERTS “As full of spirit as the month of May , And gorgeous as the sun of mid summer.” Editor-in-Chief of Oriole; Class His- torian ’22, ’23 Secretary and Treasurer of June Bug Club; Dramatic Club: Literary Editor of Newsless Gazette. Look, here she comes, dancing in the door, happy as can be Wonder who it is? Betty B. Everyone who has ever made the acquaintance of Beveridge knows she is one of the nicest, jolliest, and best sports in P. H. S. She excels in anything she under- takes whether it be in lessons, literary society, or plays. She is always ready for a good time and tries to make other people have one, too. DOROTHY N. JAMESON “There ' s little of the melancholy element in her.” President of Dramatic Club; Club Editor of Oriole; Secretary of Class ' 20, ' 22; Glee Club ’22; Bobby Club ’22; June Bug Club 22’; Triangle Club ’23; Basket- ball Squad ' 23; Social Editor of Newsless Gazette. “Dimps” is the gayest mem- ber of the class, and what means more than gavety? She is also about the most useful one. She is always on hand when it comes to doing her part, whether it is being the President of the Dramatic Club, or cleaning up the high school basement after a party. What could we do without Dimps? We’d prob- ably make A on deportment, for who is more mischievous or up to more pranks which oft- times prove disastrous to both school work and deportment? MARY ALINE STUART “ And she is fair, and fairer than that word of wondrous virtues. Ad Editor of Oriole; Dramatic Club; U. S. Club; June Bug Club ' 22; Athletic Association ’22. A loyal member of ’23 is Aline, who is always with a jolly, carefree smile. She is the one who always plans our socials, hikes and good times in general. “Lene” loves her good time and has it, too. She never seems to worry over her lessons, but she always passes her exams. She doesn’t believe in taking studying too seriously, or too lightly, either. We all love her, and what more can we say? MINNIE V. CANNADAY “She taketh most delight in music, instruments and poetry. Secretary of Athletic Association ’22; President of June Bug Club ’22; June Bug Club; Reporter of Vir- ginia Literary Society ’22; Presi- dent and Treasurer of Class T9, ’20; President of Class ’21; Assistant Joke Editor of Oriole; Testator of Class; U. S. Club; Dramatic Club. And please don’t think that these are the only things Minnie takes delight in. For instance, notice the Honor Roll every month; is she ever missing? Minnie loves to have a good time and is always on hand when a party or hike is men- tioned. As someone said, “she looks as clear as morning roses washed with dew,” which proves itself when you see her blushing cheeks. is WILLIAM E. BONES “He reads much, he is a great observer, And he looks quite thru the thoughts of men. Football ’21, ' 22; Baseball ’22, ' 23; Athletic Editor of Oriole; Treas- urer Literary Society, Sergeant-at- Arms Literary Society ’22; June Bug Club ’22; Monogram Club ’22, ’23; Dramatic Club ’23; Squeaker. “Billie” is the one upon whom rests the responsibility of being the only dignified one in the class — and even he has a fall from grace once in a while. His talents are numerous and varied, for he finds himself quite at home both on the grid- iron and in the laboratory, with a good bit of Scouting in between. There is one thing, however, which he doesn’t like to do — and that is to study English. GERTRUDE L. JENNINGS “My idea o] an agreeable person Is one that agrees with me.” Triangle Club; Dramatic Club; Ath- letic Association ’22; June Bug Club ’22; Assistant Art Editor of Oriole; U. S. Club. A star pupil in French and Geometry is Gertrude. The only thing that can make her frown is History. Our French class depends upon Gertrude to answer Mr. Eckman’s catchy questions. In High School she is preparing for her future work — a French teacher. “Oui, oui, Mademoiselle,” we know you will succeed. 16 HENRY G. FOGLESONG ' ‘ Exceeding wise, fair spoken, and persuading.” Dramatic Club; Assistant Club Editor. What would the Class of ’23 be without Henry? He helps us put away our cares and troubles. He doesn’t mind be- ing teased about girls but takes it like a sport. He isn’t even bashful enough to mind going to the board and putting up Geometry figures which is a great deal more than can be said about the rest of us. He is a football player and a good one, too. We are expecting Henry to put the same “kick” into life that he does in football. DAISY MAY E. NELSON “ All the gods go with you. Upon your sword sit Laurel Victory and smooth success be strewed before your feet.” June Bug Club ' 22; Dramatic Club; U. S. Club; Assistant Literary Editor Oriole. One might think Daisy would be handicapped by so lengthy a name, but she isn’t, and we are all proud to have her in our class. With Daisy lessons come first, then good times. She sometimes comes to school look- ing somewhat sleepy as the re- sult of “burning the midnight oil,” but if there is a party in view Daisy is right there, wil- ling to do her share, and when she takes things into her capable hands one would think we had been visited by the “wee folk” — so rapidly and smoothly does the work progress. Altogether, she is a real “daisy.” 17 ELIZABETH R. MATHENEY “God shall be my hope, my stay, my guide, and lantern to my feet. June Bug Club; Treasurer Dramatic Club; Ad Editor Oriole; U. S. Club. “Liz” is not all seriousness — do not think it. Her ambitions are high, her aims are lofty and there is no doubt in the minds of any of us that she will accom- plish them. But all of this does not cause her to wear a “mule face,” but rather one always radiant with a smile. She has too much of the Irishman in her not to enjoy life. “Liz” is so accomplished in various phases that she could pass in life as a speaker, an actress, or a missionary — but we all believe she will choose the latter. MAMIE RUTH RUSSELL “A kmd and gentle heart she has, To comfort friends and foes. June Bug Club; Dramatic Club; U. S. Club; Assistant Art Editor. A good pal is “Piggy” — bright happy, and merry. Perhaps Mamie seems to be worried before a test or an exam, but she always succeeds in passing them. Dancing is her favorite sport; also there is some at- traction for her in the Freshman room — we wonder? Bet you can guess! 18 ROBERT LANDIS BUNTS “Look, he is winding up the watch of his wit; Presently it will strike. Joke Editor of Oriole; Treasurer of Literary Society ’22; Sergeant-at- Arms ' 23, first term; Vice-President Literary Society ' 23, second term; Squeaker ' 23; Honorary member of Bachelors; Dramatic Club; Editor- in-Chief of Newsless Gazette; Prophet of ’23; June Bug Club ' 22. There is no one in high school who has not had a laugh over ‘‘Gi’s” jokes. And who could wear a more innocent expres- sion than he does? He loves a bit of an argument now and then, but is usually so full of good-natured fun that he is able to break down the “stern” reserve and dignity of the teach- ers. If you have never seen Gi dressed up as a little boy in “Buster Brown” collar and “shorts” you have, assuredly, another laugh coming your way. NANNETTE ELIZABETH LIVINGSTON “ Most prudent, of an excellent And unmatched wit and judgment.” Treasurer of ’22- ' 23; Associate Editor of Newsless Gazette; Dramatic Club; Literary Editor of Oriole; June Bug Club ’22. Don’t think that Nance is merely quiet and studious, for there is no one any better natured than she. It is to her, too, that everyone goes when seeking advice, for her judgment is always so much sounder than anyone’s else. But, do you know that on the stage she can take the part of the sauciest, most impertinent, little Irish maid? So, you see, Nance has a complex personality — ever changing and delightful. JOEANNA S. ALLISON “ Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day ? Thou art more lovely and more temperate.” Glee Club ’22; June Bug Club ’22; Dramatic Club ' 23; U. S. Club ' 23; Ad Editor Oriole. Music is Anne’s hobby; whether singing, playing or dancing, she can do it all well. Her favorite pastime is tying beaux on her string. She has been somewhat flattered by her many suitors, but this does not detract from her loveliness and her sense of “there’s a time for work and for play.” We hope, Anne, that your life will be as fair and cloudless as you in person are. MARSHALL LEE RUN ION “On thy face I see The map of honor, truth and loyalty.” Assistant Baseball Manager; June Bug Club; Monogram Club: V : ce- President Literary Society; Dramatic Club; Art Editor of Oriole; Associate Editor of New s- less Gazette. “When some of the boys be- gan to drop out” Marshall threatened to, too, but we would not hear of it and we still have him. If you have not heard him sing you have missed a treat. When you hear a chorus at the literary society, you may be sure that Marshall’s voice is adding charm to the melody. Another trait of his is that he cannot tell a “fib” if he tries, for his mischievous grin and the wicked little twinkle in his eye tell on him. ALICE L. LOWMAN “She is 0} so fair, so kind., so apt, So blessed a disposition. Assistant Joke Editor Oriole; IJ. S. Club; Dramatic Club; Triangle Club. Behold our future movie star — those wonderful dreamy eyes! But to get down to facts, Alice came to P. H. S. from Dublin, and since she has been with us we have found her to be one of the friendliest and most sociable girls we have met. And, too, she always passes on her exams and comes out smiling. That’s Alice all over for you. LILLIAN ETHEL PACK “I like your silence; it the more shows off your wonder.” U. S. Club; Dramatic Club; Club Editor Oriole. Lillian, one of our quiet and studious pupils, is one of our standbys. She is always willing to enter into all our sports. Although she is rather shy and bashful, in school, you can al- ways bet on having a good time with her when out-of-doors. Lillian has many friends who will miss her and and the bag of candy which you can almost always find in her pocket. Mentor napsif)ot£! Bj V Mentor gmapsifjotsi ■■1 Senior napsljots -■m History of Senior Class Isn’t it strange, that when we were Freshmen we thought that Commencement Day was the very loveliest of all the school year, and now when our graduation day is actually here, we’re really very sorry to leave P. H. S.? Of course, one couldn’t expect us to be wholly in tears and mourning, for there is always a happy side to everything, and graduation assuredly has its good points! How little we dreamed when we entered high school and the way seemed so difficult that it would be only too short. As “Freshies,” what manners we affected and what high hopes we had! We were now members of that great body called the “High School,’’ and some day hoped to be grave and reverend and dignified Seniors. But oh, how far away that all seemed! So we just had a good time then, trying not to show our ignor- ance of new systems too much. Almost before we knew it, we were Sophomores. Then, it seemed ages since our Freshman year, and just about as long before we would “finish school’’ as the phrase is. Gracious, what horrible studies confronted us! We had never seen any- thing like this before, and sincerely hoped never to meet with such terrors in the future. Then it was that we put in most of our studying, and, as a result, were so glad of any hard earned rest that we just decided to enjoy ourselves and not worry about dignity or establishing a precedent or anything. You know you never can be young but once, so why not have our fling now. But the next thing we knew (though usually we didn’t know much of anything) we hopped over into the Junior room, where we didn’t feel a bit at home, but which seemed to be the place where everyone expected us to be and was rather surprised if from force of habit we walked into the room where the Sopho- mores held sway. Surely, now with only two more years in school, we must begin to add to, or perhaps we should say to accumulate, our stock of dignity. But did we? Nay, not so. The evils of boning and cramming were over for the present, so why not have a little more enjoyment? Exams may come and exams may go, but fun goes on forever; that is, with apol- ogies to Lord Tennyson. Almost before we could realize it, however, we discovered by some subtle power of intuition that we were at last privileged to reside in the longed for and coveted, though somewhat chilly, Sanctum of the Seniors, just across the hall. For the second time in our scholastic lives we were overawed (the first time being when we entered the sacred portals and were dubbed Freshmen). Otherwise, we didn’t feel one bit different from what we had before. We were, evidently, not very responsive to environment. And would you believe it, we didn’t seem to care about anything much but having a good time, when we should have been obtaining our education and planning life careers and so on. From this one might judge that the class of ’23 did neither toil nor spin nor set the midnight oil to burn- ing. Though we fear we never quite equaled the lilies in glory, neither did we become old and wrinkled because of much study, which we read somewhere was a weariness to the flesh. We were only normal boys and girls who really studied quite a lot when it was absolutely urgent. It was during ’23 that the class started their famous picture gallery. During the previous year, we boasted only one very swell and obscure calendar, while in the second semester of the following year no less than twenty, and no more than twenty- five, calendars dotted the walls and various articles of furniture, such as desks, chairs, and blackboards; the only explanation is that it was a sudden and over-artistic fad. Hikes, parties and entertainments further added to the pleasure of the class, being “heartily enjoyed by all those pres- ent.” Through it all you may see that 1923 has been “out for a good time,” but don’t think that we are never serious and think no deeper than the “thrills” of class night or various forms of jollification. We truly realize how much dear Pulaski High School has done for us and how very, very much we owe her that we can never repay. We hate to leave you, P. H. S., now that the time for departure has come, but we trust that you will not completely forget the fun-loving and oftentimes thoughtless, but ever loyal, members of the class of ’23. Last Will and Testament We, the 1922-23 Senior Class of Pulaski High School, feeling that we are facing the end of P. H. S. life, do solemnly declare this to be our last will and testament, disposing as wisely and dis- creetly as we are able all our real and personal property. First: We, the Senior Class of ’23, hereby will to the Junior Class our “Good Will,” together with our neversharp pencil sharpener, so that they may always be supplied with pointless pencils in case of emergency — such as a surprise written lesson. We also will to the Junior Class the responsibility of keeping alive The Oriole, the little bird that came to make its home in P. H. S. in 1921 and finding conditions favorable for its growth remained, becoming an essential and creditable asset to Pulaski High School. We hope that it may continue to grow with the coming years, in the hands of our successors. Second: To the remainder of the high school we will free tickets to the Senior Class, with our compliments. Third: Elizabeth Matheney wills her fame as an actress to Isabelle Miller. Beveridge Roberts wills her editorship of The Oriole to Thelma Richardson. She also wills her curls to James Cummings. Gerard Southern wills his good looks to Foy McGuire. He also wills to William Allison the right to ring the period bells. Minnie Peirce wills her winning ways to Alyne Hurd. Ernest Lewey wills his popularity to Marvin Harden. He also wills the honor of being president of his class to Billy Cheves. Aline Stuart wills her cheerful nature to Alene Miller. Marshall Runion wills his love for Miss Watts’ Latin to John Cox. Nannette Livingston wills her cute smile to Beatrice Webb. Henry Foglesong wills his sporty nature and red hair to Ronald Powell. Mamie Russell wills her bobbed hair and freckles to Naomi Cannaday. William Bones wills his fame as a walking history to Clarence Miller. Sena Thompson wills her low and musical voice to John Crowder. Robert Bunts wills his right as the tallest boy ever to graduate from P. H. S. to Hastwell Sizer. Anna Allison wills her flirting ability to Maxine Umberger. Alice Lowman wills her habit of being tardy to Martha Der- rick. Lillian Pack wills her gentle, Puritan nature to Evelyn Worley. Daisy Nelson wills her love for all things christened “Henry” to Vera Groseclose. Gertrude Jennings wills her spontaneous giggle to Conway Smith. Dorothy Jameson wills her brains to Howard Gilmer. Minnie Cannaday wills her “specks” and rosy cheeks to Virginia Roberts. Fourth: To the members of the faculty we will the following: To Mr. Brugh, our sincere appreciation of his kind advice and inspiring influence during the past year. To Miss Thomas, our gratitude and thanks for her most helpful aid all through our four years of high school. Also, a class that will love her almost as much as we do, not quite, though, for it couldn’t be found. To Mr. Eckman, the respect and love of each individual member of the Class of ’23. We also will to him a French class that will study regularly all irregular verbs assigned by him. To Miss Finks, an English class that does not believe brevity to be the soul of wit. To Miss Chaffin, a Geometry class that can put a figure on the board in less than forty-five minutes and “stand up” when reciting. To Miss Watts, a Latin class that does not kick at too long or too short lessons. Also, a smaller Virgil class. In testimony whereof, we have written and signed and do declare this paper this the 23rd day of May to be our last will and testament. Minnie Cannaday, ’23, Testator. Prophecy of 1923 Pity me, readers, if this prophecy is worthy of the least bit of praise — spare it; do not praise me — pity me, my nerve-racked body and my agonized soul. I tried all manner of oriental drink and demoniac incense trying to coax my tired brain to relax into a fitful or fantastical mood so that I could be able to relate to the Class of ’23 that which future has in store for them. I called on Future herself and her elusive accomplices to aid me in my delicate task. I practiced demonorality in the belief that the all important “Book of Fortune” would open its golden pages to me and give my worried brain peace and quiet. But that drink, that horrible burning incense which I smoked in such staggering quantities only made me more frantic and made my brain more inactive. My calls on Future, my time spent waiting on that magic book were all in vain. I felt dis- couraged, I was helpless in my plight, the incense was sickening in its heavy fumes, the drink had deadened my brain, 1 fell into a deep slumber accompanied by a fretful, horrible and dread- ful dream. Ah, what a dream! What cold and inexpressible terror? May God never visit any poor mortal with such an unendurable, agonizing, hysterical, phantasy as that which visited me that never to be forgotten night. I awoke with utter horror, my sluggish blood seemed frozen in my veins, my morbid brain, despite the heavy ordor of incense was, thorough- ly clear but in a state of complete inactivity due to my agony and fright. Cold perspiration, which to my numb, stricken senses felt like great drops of red blood, was upon my brow, but the muscles of my arms refused to respond when I asked them to move and wipe it off. I was dumbfounded, terrified — cold chills which felt more like cold-chisels chased up and down my spinal column in deathly frenzy. My heart thumped with sledge-hammer blows which echoed in the awful silence of my chamber, against my ribs. But the dream — I’ll tell it to you in the fewest words possible as it brings back to my mind more vividly than ever those maddening recollections. I dreamed that I had died; the immediate cause, whether sickness, accident, or what not, I do not remember. Neither do I recollect the final destination of this cursed and desolate soul of mine. My first recognition of my whereabouts was that I was in a grave — a still, cold, clammy, and silent grave. My casket or wooden overcoat had returned to the “dust from whence it came.” But strange to say, my shroud and other apparel was intact — the same as it was when I was placed in my last intend- ed resting place. This surprised me and I reached up to scratch my head as was my custom during life, but to my utter astonish- ment and even greater surprise my hand came in contact with a perfectly bald head — entirely devoid ot hair in any shape, form or size. My head was perfectly slick and shiny. Upon exam- ining closer I found the carcasses of a multitude of little under- ground beetles, bugs, etc. Oh, what a horrible death was theirs! I was indirectly a murderer — they had to traverse my slippery cranium and had slipped, fallen, and crushed against the bare rocks, thereby breaking their necks and crushing their bodies into a nearly indistinguishable mass. 1 began to examine myself and my surroundings more closely to see if any more such calamities had taken place. I found the rest of myself intact; yes, I could even trace the luminous trails of the snails, slugs and other crawling beings over my body. Ugh, I shudder now at the thought of those cold-blooded, crawling, miniature monsters. Then Death, that cold and creepy thing, that comes when no one knows when, that parter of a miser and his hoard, that ex- tinguisher of brilliant careers, that unmerciful demon, which takes father, mother, brother or sister away from those who love them so well, that cure for all hurts and diseases, that welcome guest of the oppressed, reached out her long clam-like talons and began to entangle me! — enshroud me, yea, to en- fold me! Though I despairingly struggled to escape those clammy, snaky coils, she only laughed at a mere helpless mortal fighting a losing fight against her invincible charms, Soft, but horrible music, seemed to get more distinct as I sank down — down — down into those fathomless depths of unconsciousness On regaining consciousness I was more terrified and palsied with fear and fright than ever before! Oh, why did not Death retain me in her blood-stained jaws, why did she, with that derisive mockery, cast me into this place — this place of torment? Oh, God! I was in — a school room. As time and space do not permit I will not attempt to describe this place of torture in detail, nor its many improvements and inventions of torment. A history class was in session, a red-headed teacher of small stature strangely bringing back remembrances of my own school days, was perched on the desk expatiating at length on history in general, and asking questions right and left. Interested in the date, I looked for a calendar. There were many of these — big, little, great and small — arranged in no partic- ular manner on the wall. The date was 2056. The teacher was talking rapidly and impressively. “Now, boys and girls, sit up straight, put away your playthings, and give me every bit of your attention.” “We have a very interesting group for our consideration today —the Pulaski group. This group, with a few exceptions, started their wonderful careers at P. H. S. A notable fact indeed, as it was one of the best schools of its day, being classed along with Dublin Institute, Wurno Academy, and other noted seats of learning.” Two of the most noted were Minnie Cannaday and Mamie Russell, noted musicians of their time. They traveled together making many tours of the world and Mars, winning fame every- where. Others of special note were the nurses Lillian Pack, Dorothy Jameson, and Minnie Peirce. They are especially noted for the old reliable pill recommended for heartburn sickness and other ailments of that nature. But they, in my opinion, were the biggest pills. Now a personage of extraordinary mention was Mr. Billy Bones, the most hard-headed man in the world until Gertrude Jennings married him and reformed him somewhat. Another of great importance was “Doughface” Matheney, the noted cook who could bake bread, “burnt on the bottom, raw in the middle, and cracked open on top.” Here the teacher dropped the book with a resounding thump saying, “I’m always doing all the talking and you would go on and let me — Johnnie, tell me about the teachers of this group.” A small red-headed, freckled face boy answered, “They were Nannette Livingston, founder of the Tate Latin Lhiiversity, and Daisy Nelson, a teacher of dumb animals. But the most noteworthy service to humanity during her career was teaching Henry Foglesong how to be a good husband. “That’s good — now, Mary, tell me about the actor of this group.” “Oh, that was Beveridge Roberts. She became famous as a female Charlie Chaplin and Rodolph Valentino combined. She entered the New York Tribune ' s funny pictures, making a name for herself at the early age of ninety-eight.” “Good, now, Katherine — the lawyers.” “Were they Gerard Southern and Ernest Lewey?” “Yes. But I am asking you.” “Well, they practiced law for a while at Macadam and were then elected to the town council on ‘No work — all play’ plat- form. Their greatest bill was the ‘Curly-Spain Bill.’ “Correct. Now, Harold, tell me about Alice Lowman.” “I don’t think I know that.” “Stay in for an hour this afternoon.” “Oh, yes, she was the teacher of expression at the Stuart School for girls established by Aline Stuart in New York in 31 memory of her multitude of past lovers, as she remained an old maid until her death at the age of ninety-seven.” ‘‘Yes, that’s right, I thought you knew it all along.” “Now who will volunteer to tell me of the noted inventor or the ‘later Edison.’ A small hand arose hesitatingly in the rear of the room. “Well, Marshall, you must like to tell about people for whom you were named.” “Yes’m. His most noted invention was a pair of bow-leg- ged crutches for knock-kneed men.” “Well, that’s not all by a long ways, but I suppose that will do.” “Now, who wants to tell me about the modern Helen ofTroy and Cleopatra? All right, Thracine.” “Oh, they were the most beautiful ladies of their time. They vamped everything going and coming. Many hearts were broken and many wars fought between the different planets on their account. They were Sena Thompson and Anna Allison.” Hitherto I had remained unnoticed, but suddenly the teacher turned to me and asked — “Can you tell me about Robert Bunts, young man?” It was then that I awoke.

H. S. This class was put in charge of Mr. Hensel Eckman and the school term of 1922 and ’23 moved off smoothly. Since that time the Junior Class has made a record in school work, literary activities, and athletics which will be hard to surpass. Of course the Junior Class is not a group of angelic beings who always know their lessons perfectly, never whisper during classes, and never have to stay in after school, but it is just a class of American boys and girls who possess “class spirit” and “school spirit.” The achievements of the members of this class are not so much for the honor of the individual as for the honor of the Junior Class and to help P. H. S. maintain its reputation as one of the best schools of its size in the State of Virginia. Now let us note some of the achievements of the Junior Class in school work and literary activities. There are many good students in the class, but the best of these is Martha Derrick, the president of the class. She is one of the leading students in the race for the gold scholarship medal which is given annually. Howard Gilmer and Sylvia Byrd are the best debaters in the High School, and Margaret Dalton one of the best elocutionists. The Junior Class also plays an important part in the “Vir- ginian Literary Society.” Many of the members of the class hold or have held high offices in the society. Having seen what the J unior Class has done in school work and literary activities, let us glance back over the record it has made in athletics. The president of the Athletic Association, Wil- liam Allison, is a member of the Junior Class. He was also captain of the 1922 football team. Howard Gilmer, another Junior, was the manager of this team. Of the 1922 football squad, six first team men and one substitute were Juniors, hour of these were also stars in baseball. Three members of the girls’ basketball squad, including the captain, Pauline Bopp, are also Juniors. With this record in the past and hoping even to surpass it in the future, the Junior Class hopes to become, in a short time, the Senior Class of ’24. Conway Smith, ’24, Historian. Toast to the Juniors Here ' s to the third year of P. II. S. With thirty members we are blessed. A class just like it never before, If we all get through in ’ 24 . Here ' s to the Juni ors of Pulaski High, With Math and English we mount to the sky. A class that never from duty would shirk; When we think of diplomas We all go to work. Then again to the Juniors of P. II. S. Each and every one the very best. Their ability and honesty is always found When tests and exams are apt to roll around. Margaret Dalton, ’ 24 . t Class Poem From start to finish, first to last, Our class does all excel; There never was another class That did things quite so well. In classes, oh! such diligence; And in athletics, too, Our boys were always leaders — They always put things through. Everything this class has done We can not here unfold. Well might we say and say in truth “The half has not been told. So here ' s to the Junior Class As their names in history pass; And we know they ' ll make a record Which none can e ' er surpass.

Our class has had its trials along with its pleasures; our path has not always been strewn with sunshine and roses, but we have pressed forward with unfailing efforts and have succeeded in passing half of the road. Because of the congeniality and good feeling of the class we were given the name “That First Year.” We have succeeded in keeping that distinction and are now known as “That Second Year.” The Sophomore Class has some real students but some who are “exposed to” but “never take” the subjects that our teach- ers strive to make us comprehend. There is unusual talent in our class, Theodore Hall being the Demosthenes of the class. The soundness of his arguments and the eloquence of his delivery would convince any jury, hence we would not be surprised to see him some day as one of the foremost lawyers of the State. Our class has two splendid musicians. Frank Jackson plays the ukulele to perfection. Onis Hufford stands shoulder to shoul- der with Caruso; we often hear his melodious voice at literary society and everyone enjoys his singing. Ethel Nunn is a great basketball player, and when we see her quick and graceful movements on the basketball court we are assured that she will do star playing. We feel that we have accomplished much and we owe all to the untiring efforts and patience of our teachers, who have ever been an inspiration to us. If the future is as kind to us as the past has been, the Sophomore Class, when its members receive their diplomas as Seniors, will be able to reflect as much honor and glory on their Alma Mater as any other class which has gone out from its doors to their life’s work.

I went into the chapel aisles as green as I could be; They gave the Jolly Juniors room, but ' adn ' t none for me; An I couldn ' t find a seat — not knowing where to go; But they didn ' t care — even though I didn ' t ' ave a show. Yet it ' s ' ' Freshie this an Freshie that” an ' “ Freshie, get your book. ' ' But it ' s special seat for “ Freshie ' when the inspector turns to look. An ' it ' s then, my boys, that the Seniors get our goat; For we can only sit an look while they just dote an dote. We aren’t the little Greenies we ' ve got the name o ' being; But just big men in little forms as by me you can be seein ' ; So when you get to calling us little ignorant Freshie-men, Just remember you once a Freshie-man have been. But then it’s “ Freshie this, an Freshie that an “Freshie, where you been! You ' aven ' t got the ' istory of a little old red ' en; But it’s “ Freshie , bring your money When tuition comes again.” Evelyn Dean, ’ 26 . 48 The Wail of a Freshman Four long laborious years We must endure this grind; Hard lessons and undreamed of fears They heap upon our kind. All that they learned from college away, Or gleaned from the Southwest Times, Our teachers try to fill in a day Our small and puny minds. Now, for Miss Watts this can be said, She knows her subject well — She ' s quite alive, though Latin s dead, For in her room we dwell. Far back to Neolithic Age With Miss Thomas do we go; From there to now she equals the sage Who everything did know. Bravely we greet our dear Miss Finks When e ' er she comes to us, But right in this we fail, methinks, She gives ns zero plus. With cold and calculating air Miss Chaffin takes her place And turns loose information rare, Things startling to the race. When all is conspired to wreck man Where can poor students go, But bravely wait for Mr. Eckman Scientific facts to show. But when our Senior year rolls round And our ideals achieved, True friends in each we will have found And from each good received. Mary Draper, ' 26, Htterarp School Days When to an old person school days are mentioned his face brightens, the wrinkles begin to straighten, the joy of his heart leaps up into his eyes, and he smiles. Can you tell me why this little word so touches the emotions of mankind? Ah, it is not merely the word — that could not be — but ’ tis the memory — fond recollections of childhood joy and happiness — that this magic word brings back all in one moment when it is mentioned. Those were the days of his independence, those were the days when his mind was carefree, and the one word that he builded life on was hope — that is why his face brightens at the mention of this little word. These are the days when all the impressions of economy, morality, and the value of an education are stamp- ed on our minds. Now that we are talking of school days, it comes to my mind that people as individuals — mind you, I do not say as nations but as individuals — do not put the same value upon school days or, in other words, an education as they used to in the good old days of Washington and Lee. To a boy in those days an educa- tion was something that he “grabbed for” — it was considered an opportunity and a pleasure. And probably the reason was the lack of educational opportunities, and hence even a little schooling was considered a very precious opportunity. To a boy now-a-days it is a drudgery and the sooner he can “quit” the more pleased he is. An education today is hardly ever taken seriously by anyone. To go to school is to have a good time and all a person seems to care for is to “get through;” it does not seem to matter how. But do you know I believe a brighter day is coming when our educational standards will be much higher than they are now. People are just beginning to see that there is no place in the world or in society for them without this precious jewel — education. Everyone will admit that any occupation is fit to follow if it is honest labor, but let me say that no occupation, however simple it may be, can prosper without a clear brain, a pure character, and a developed mind. An education helps to bring these if w r e give it a chance. In conclusion, let me make this plea to you: Make the best of your school days and the best will come back to you. Let the memory that they bring be pure and comforting, but I beg of you do not use those days so that they will bring discomfort, regret, and disgust in the end. Nannette Livingston, ’23. Love Story from Shakespeare “Romeo and Juliet’’ were lovers. When he proposed to her she said, “As You Like It.” He bought the ring from “The Merchant of Venice.” The courtship seemed to them like a “Midsummer Night’s Dream.” The wedding date was set for the “Twelfth Night,” and “The Merry Wives of Windsor” and “Two Gentlemen of Verona” were among the invited guests. The ceremony was performed by “Cardinal Wolsey.” They had a cozy home in a distant “Hamlet” and passed many evenings before the open fire with a cheerful “Winter’s Tale.” However, the bride soon proved to have a temper like a “Tempest,” and the poor man said his chief occupation was “The Taming of the Shrew.” Their first quarrel sprang from “Much Ado About Nothing.” They soon made up and concluded that it was all “A Comedy of Errors.” “All’s Well That Ends Well,” so ends this tale.

Names Written in the Sand The majority of people today are writing their names in sand, rather than writing them in the bedrock of history. But what do we mean by “writing our names in sand?” We mean living such lives and doing such deeds as will not abide. We mean that anyone who lives this life with self in front, anyone who lives a self-centered life, with no regard for his fellowman, deliberately writes his name in the shifting sand. And the ocean of time and eternity will roll on, sweeping his name and memory of his selfish life into oblivion. We are to be the citizens of to- morrow, citizens in the greatest country in the world. Our forefathers in finding this country were not thinking of self. They were thinking of God, of liberty, and of their fellowman. They were building for the future, not for the present only. Are we going to dishonor the traditions and memory of our grandsires by giving self the first place in life? A nation’s greatness can not be made by people who write their names in the sand. A nation is made great by people who write their names in abiding rock. For the final proof of a nation’s greatness is not found in its unequaled wealth, nor in its commercial supremacy, nor its physical luxuries, but in the moral and mental metal of its manhood and womanhood — in the greatness and goodness of its people. This is the final test, both of individuals and of nations — and thus, he who writes his name into his country’s life writes his name in abiding rock, not in shifting sand. The American sage who wrote the poem entitled “The Nation’s Greatness” knew the secret of true great- ness and glory when he wrote: “ What builds a nation ' s pillars high And its foundations strong ? What makes it mighty to defy The foes that round it throng. Brave men who work while others steep, Who dare while others fly — They build a nation ' s pillars deep And lift them to the sky.” We may write our names on the pages of history by working with a zeal unhindered and unchanged by opposition and ob- struction. So, make your life work one that goes as far in benefit of your fellowman as for yourself. Charles Dean, ’24.

H. S. early began football practice for the coming season, having many more out to practice than usual. Pulaski was destined to put out the football team that won the championship of Southwest Virginia. P. H. S. tied with Bristol High but as Bristol had not played in our district Pulaski was awarded the championship. We opened the season by defeating Wytheville 12 to 0. Suf- fering from an attack of over confidence, the next Friday Pu- laski allowed Dublin to play us to a scoreless tie. The following week P. H. S. journeyed to Dublin with blood in her eyes and outplayed Dublin much more than the score, which was 12 to 7, indicated. The Orange and Black played her best game of the season with Bristol, Va. Time and time again Pulaski held Bristol to downs within inches of her goal line. The final score was 6 to 6. Pulaski next played Ivanhoe, which was an inexperienced team, and easily defeated her 104 to 0. P. H. S. inflicted a defeat upon Marion in a hard fought game by a score of 27 to 0. Pulaski again came out the victor in another contest with Marion by a score of 35 to 0. The final game of the season was played with Jefferson High from Roanoke, later champions of Virginia. P. H. S. was stale and generally out- classed by the heavier team. The resulting score was 52 to 0. In every game of the season Pulaski was outweighed but at that she won 5 games, tied 2, and lost only 1.

The score was 19 to 5 in our favor. The next game was a 63 to 0 game in favor of Pulaski against Snowville. A game with Radford followed on November 17 ; the score was 37 to 0 in our favor. On November 18 the Narrows team came to Pulaski and suffered a severe defeat, 49 to 1, at the hands of Pulaski. The best game seen on the local court was against the Graham girls, who won the State championship two years ago and lost to the winner another year. Graham had a heavy team, but Pulaski outplayed them in team work as well as in covering the court. 14 to 5 in our favor was the outcome. An easy victory over Dublin, in Dub- lin, followed this game. A close game with Marion, in Marion, came next. The two teams were evenly matched but Pulaski, while at a disadvantage on their indoor court, came out with a two point vantage at the end of the game. Quite a disappoint- ment was the Bristol, Va.,game on our court February 22. A tight game was expected and, as the results show, it was a slow, one-sided game in our favor. 18 to 1 was the score. After eight games we remained undefeated, so the district champion- ship was awarded to us. We next met Roanoke, in Roanoke; there we met our first defeat in two years, thereby losing out in the State contest. Schedule P. H. S. . . . . . . . 19. . . . . ... at Pulaski . . . . .1. H.

Pulaski has hopes of putting out even a better team than the one last year. Due to bad weather practice will begin rather late, but under the expert coaching of Allen Hall, P. H. S. is expected to make up for lost time. Dalton, who captains the team, will do the catching stunt again this year with the help of McGuire. The pitching staff will be composed of the veterans Crowder and Runion, reinfor- ced by Southern and Foglesong, the latter of whom comes here with a very good reputation. There is a hot contest between Duncan and Bunts for the initial sack. J. Haislip will probably hold down the key stone sack with help from Lyon. Allison, Spraker, and Grantham will perform around the hot corner, and Bones and Wisler are expected to keep the hot valley closed. Men who have shown up well for the outfield are Miller, Cox, Gemmell, Gallimore, Lewey, Gatewood, and Painter. 66 Monogram Club Monogram Club Officers President Clarence Miller Vice-President Pauline Bopp Secretary and Treasurer William Allison Members Livingston Sheppard Marshall Runion Henry Foglesong Robert Runion Jack Haislip Gillie Haislip Delmas Gallimore Billy Bones Joe Bones John Cox Howard Gilmer, Jr. Porter Wisler Ernest Lewey Alton Duncan Dewey Dalton Virginia Runion Mary Fitzhugh Ethel Nunn Margaret Bopp Lena Bones Royal Order of Squeakers We, the undersigned, members of the Squeakers, and also members of the Senior Class of nineteen hundred and twenty- two and three, do hereby make a solemn vow which, like the laws of the Medes and Persians, altereth not : VOW We, the undersigned, do hereby agree and pledge ourselves to have a pair of corduroy trousers and to wear the same to Pulaski High School Wednesday, October 18, 1922.
