Mascot “Texas” at THE ORIOLE MARTHA COSBY DERRICK 7 “To love and be loved is the greatest happiness of existence. Editor-in-Chief of Oriole; President of Class ’20- ' 21, ’21-’22, ’22-’23, ’23-’24; Treasurer of Literary Scoiety ’20-’21 last term ; Secretary of Literary Society ’21-’22 last term; Secretary of Literary Society ’22-’23 first term; Class His- torian ’21-’22; Treasurer of Rapunzel Club ’23-’24; Helpus Tappa Keg ’23-’24. What would the Seniors do with- out Martha? She has “hoisted” us through our entire High School career — which is what “derricks” were intended for anyway. She is always willing to lend a helping hand to her classmates. She is ever ready to enter into the sports of school life, and, at the same time, is our model student. We all love Martha and heartily wish that she will have all the success in life that she well deserves. HOWARD CECIL GILMER, JR. “I am Sir Oracle and when I ope my lips let no dog bark. Ad Editor of Oriole; Manager of Baseball ’23-’24; Helpus Tappa Keg ’23-’24; Monogram Club ’22-’23, ’23-’24; Bache- lors’ Club ’22-’23, ’23-’24; Dramatic Club ’22-’23; Secretary-Treasurer of Class ’20-’21; Glee Club ’21-’22; Mana- ger of Football ’21-’22; Assistant Mana- ger of Baseball ’22-’23; Class Testator ’23-’24. Howard’s motto is “Make ‘A’ without studying.” He has the ability to go into anything, see it through, and come out smiling. What would the Class of ’24 have been without its orator, its drum- mer, and above all its Latin shark! We feel that his energy and pep will carry him far in life’s battles. THE ORIOLE NAOMI CANNADAY “ Her eyes like stars of twilight fair, Like twilight, too, her dusky hair.” Club Editor of Oriole; Rapunzel Club ’23-’24. A star pupil in French and Chem- istry is Naomi. She is quiet, but when anything to eat is mentioned or a good time is being planned, she is “Johnny on the spot.” It is her ambition to graduate in curls, of which she has an abun- dance. What would we have done without her happy smile and cheer- ful disposition to help us over many a rough place? JOHN EUGENE COX J “ Laugh and the world laughs with you.” Joke Editor of Oriole; Vice-President of Class ’23-’24; Captain of Baseball ’23-’24; Monogram Club ’21-’22, ’22-’23 : ’23-’24; Helpus Tappa Keg ’23-’24; Treasurer of Class ’22-’23. “Puny” is one of the jolliest fellows in our class. He is a good sport and always ready for a good time, both inside and out- side of school, regardless of his X, Y, Z on deportment. He is a good athlete, and in fact he is good in anything he undertakes. We hope his success will continue throughout his entire life. THE ORIOLE tRION VIRGINIA THOMAS “What e’er there he of sorrow I ' ll put off till tomorrow.” Athletic Editor of Oriole; Captain of Basketball Team ’21-’22; President of Bobby Club ’21-’22; Monogram Club ’21-’22, ’22-’23, ’23-’24; Vice-President of Athletic Association ’23-’24. Marion is always ready for any- thing. She is good natured and never seems to worry. But she always passes her exams, even if she does take time to practice basketball, in which she excells. We all wish her much happiness, which is certain to come to one who has so much energy and “pep.” GEORGE ALTON DUNCAN fLel the world slide; I’ll not budge an inch.” Athletic Editor of Oriole; Monogram Club ’2 1 -’22 , ’22-’23, ’23- ’24 ; Treasurer of Helpus Tappa Keg ’23-’24; Secretary of Class ’23-’24; Treasurer Athletic Association ’2 1-’22. Alton is our good looking boy. Good looking hair! O boy! He gives it almost as much attention as he does his classes. But when it comes to a football game his good looks become good playing. Where the team is, there Alton is also, whether it’s at the fair or hunting chestnuts. But that’s all right, “Dunk,” without you there would have been no Class of ’24. THE ORIOLE MARY LOUISE DUDLEY “She smiles and smiles and will not sigh.” Joke Editor of Oriole; Rapunzel Club ’23-’24. What’ s in a name? Louise isn’t a “dud.” She is always ready to meet you with a bright, happy face, which is to be greatly ad- mired in anyone. Although she never has a nervous breakdown from studying too much, she al- ways makes her grades. If Louise is as happy in life as she is in school, she has in store for herself a very bright future. RICHARD FOY McGUIRE “Make not thyself the slave of any woman.” Photographic Editor of Oriole; Treasurer of Class ’23-’24. “Take it easy” is a little phrase which particularly applies to Foy. Lessons never seem to worry him but he always comes out on top when exam time rolls ' round. Foy hasn’t much to say, but whenever anything doesn’t quite suit him you are pretty apt to hear from him. His favorite study is French, and if you get tangled up just go to Foy and he’ll straighten you out. Ltuitf THE ORIOLE EVA ALYNE HURD “She loves to laugh, she loves to walk, V But ohl my heart, she loves to talk.” Assistant Business Manager of Oriole; Glee Club ’20-’21; Vice-President of Literary Society ’23-’24; Director of Helpus Tappa Keg ’23-’24; Class Prophet ’23-’24. Alyne is one of the best students of our class, as she not only helps to keep our standard high in our texts, but also in many other ways. She certainly keeps things going in school. She never ceases to talk, but it is for the good of the class and without her our class would not have been. She is always in for a good time and generally gets it. Every one is her friend, even to a little “Billy” we know. CONWAY HOWARD SMITH , “Virtue offers the only path which, in this life, leads to tranquility. Assistant Editor-in-Chief of Oriole; Class Historian ’22-’23. “Zula” is the one upon whom rests the responsibility of uphold- ing the dignity of the class. We don’t have to wish him success, he’ll grab it; we needn’t wish him happiness, for he radiates it. So we bid him “Au revoir” with a sure feeling that whatever he does he will do it in a way that will bring credit to the Class of ’24. ? «.V ei THE ORIOLE MARGARET R. DALTON “She is gentle, she is shy, But she has mischief in her eye. Literary Editor of Oriole; President of Rapunzel Club ’23-’24; Secretary of Helpus Tappa Keg ’23-’24. Her happy smile and uniformly good disposition, as well as her thorough unselfishness and will- ingness to help the other fellow, cause her to be greatly admired. She is considered one of the best elocutionists in the High School having won the recitation medal in her Sophomore year. The firm- ness with which she holds to her convictions will keep life from be- coming monotonous to those with whom she comes in contact. RAT DAcro N HASWELL JACKSON SIZER v “A light heart lives long. Art Editor of Oriole. “Hap” is the artist of our class. He likes nothing better than to get behind some tall person and draw during class recitation. Not- withstanding, he is a good student and always knows his lessons ex- cept perhaps occasionally. Every- body likes Hap’ for he is always willing to join in the fun. SYLVIA LOUISE BYRD “A truer, nobler, trustier heart, 4 More loving or more loyal, Never beat within a human breast.” Literary Editor of Oriole; Secretary of Class ’21-’22, ’22-’23; Secretary of Literary Society ’22-’23 last term; Secretary of Literary Society ’23-’24; Class Historian ’23-’24; Rapunzel Club ’23-’24. A more sincere friend cannot be found — noble in every thought and every deed. She has a charm- ing personality and disposition which attract people to her and make them want to know her better. She is a loyal member of our class, and is ever ready to share in the work to be done. JOSEPH WHITE BONES V “ None but himselj can be his parallel.” Photographic Editor of Oriole; Monogram Club ’2 1 -’22 , ’22-’23, ’23-’24. “Beau Jones” is a true type of a real Senior boy. His good humor makes him a fine fellow both in school and out. Being a good sport, he is one of our best foot- ball players. But above all Joe is a gentleman. We know that the world will like him as well as we do. a THE ORIOLE VOLA WELLS WOHLFORD ‘A smile jor all, a greeting glad, An amiable, jolly way she had. Photographic Editor of Oriole; Secretary and Treasurer of D. I. W. K. Club ’23-’24. Vola is a loyal member of the Class of ’24 and is always willing to do her part. Although she has been with us but a short time, the class would not seem complete without her — her gay and cheerful disposition having won the friend- ship of all. She likes fun and has it too, but even then work comes before play with her, for her les- sons are always prepared. JEANETTE CHRISTINE RAY J ' A s welcome as sunshine in every place.” Club Editor of Oriole; Vice-President of Rapunzel Club ’23-’24. Jeanette is the girl with the beautiful brown eyes, who is al- ways good natured and just the best sort of a sport. Not only are these eyes soft brown, but just look into them once and you’ll find them bewitching. She uses them to talk with, as well as her mouth. “Jean” is interested in all activities of school life, and does her part to make them a success. THE ORIOLE ami ? ■ C. THELMA RICHARDSON “Speak of me as I am.” Joke Editor of Oriole; Glee Club ’2 1 - ’22 ; Rapunzel Club ’23-’24. Being good-natured and humor- ous, “Pete” has helped to make our class one of the happiest in the land. She is always ready and willing to do her part, and this, together with her many other lovable traits, will cause her to be remembered by each one of us. ILLY HOWARD CHEVES “ Too much studying is wearisome to the flesh.” Club Editor of Oriole. Studying never seems to worry Billy, but when anything is to be done he can do it. He is a good sport and always meets his class- mates with a broad grin. In spite of the fact that all through High School Miss Mary has threat- ened to “pitch him out the win- dow,” he is still with us and we wish the time would never come when we have to part with one of the best pals ever. t 2 THE ORIOLE BERNICE LOUISE I3EWESE . ‘She speaks, behaves, and acts just as she ought.” Photographic Editor of Oriole; Secretary of Rapunzel Club ’23-’24. A typical Senior is Bernice. She came to us from Elk Horn, West Va. She is shy, but never- theless, makes friends easily. “Bengie” is always willing to lend a hand in anything — work or fun. Nothing could freeze her good nature except — perhaps an “E” on her report card. We wish you the best of luck, Bernice. MARVIN LEWIS HARDEN ‘‘To hear him play! To hear him sing! It is to hear the birds of spring! Ad Editor of Oriole; Helpus Tappa Keg ’23-’24. “Softy” is Mr. Eckman’s fttar chemistry pupil and the one whom we all depend on to work those dreaded problems. He is good- natured and ever readv to lend a helping hand. If you have never heard him sing or play the violin you have missed a rare treat. Thu i A ' o r A ue s ruo� f s cz THE ORIOLE ? PAULINE BOPP “Where there ' s a will there ' s a way. Athletic Editor of Oriole; Vice-President of Monogram Club ’22-’23; President of Monogram Club ' 23- ' 24; Manager of Basketball Team ’23-’24; Captain of Basketball Team ’22-’23 Rapunzel Club ’23-’24. Nothing ever worries “Polly,” though she always manages to pass her exams. She is a good sport, and when she goes into a basket- ball game she goes in to win. Pauline has certainly helped to make the team, as well as the Class of ’24, one of the best ever. BEATRICE WEBB J “ Speech is silver, ' Silence is gold.” Art Editor of Oriole; Rapunzel Club ’23-’24. Serene and sensible — that is Beatrice. She says little in regard to her intentions for the future, but we predict success and happi- ness. Her quietness is an enviable trait, and we wish more of us pos- sessed it, especially when the teacher appears suddenly. ' PfM ' fl C€� THE ORIOLE a MARY MAXINE UMBERGER “Good temper is like a sunny day, It sheds its brightness on everything.” Literary Editor of Oriole; Rapunzel Club ’23-’24. How could we have done with- out “Taxine” and her contagious giggle during our stay at P. H. S.? Maxine is one of the jolliest mem- bers of our class. If she ever wor- ries about things, we have never found it out. She knows how to keep her troubles to herself. After finishing school, Maxine plans to become a trained nurse, a profes- sion for which her happy nature and sympathetic disposition pecu- liarly fit her. ALBERT EDWARD KIRKNER “For e’en though vanquished, he could argue still.” Art Editor of Oriole; Monogram Club ’23- ’24. Albert is one of our talented students. His ability to draw is above par and his athletic interests have made him one of our best foot- ball players. “Ab” is a jolly good fellow and an earnest student, though he has never been called a grind. He gets his credits without it. Here’s to your success, “Ab,” we hope to hear from you later. z THE ORIOLE ?• ! ALLENE R. MILLER ' ' Her hair is not more sunny than her heart.” Literary Editor of Oriole; Rapunzel Club ’23-’24. Here’s our quiet, modest Allene. It may be her smiles that make her so beloved among us, but we think its just her winning personality. Is she studious? Well, of course she studies, but — -my! how she loves to rest! In speaking of Allene one always thinks of a true, willing classmate. JESSE ALONZO CARPER “ Always faithful, Always ready, Always the same.” Ad. Editor of Oriole. “Zo” is the one whom we all depend on to relieve a trying situa- tion in class by ringing the period bell. It is thus that he has saved us many weary hours after school. As he has never failed us a single time, we know that he will succeed in any walk in life. THE ORIOLE ISABEL BROWN MILLER “A thing of beauty is a joy forever.” Art Editor of Oriole; Vice-President of Class ’22-’2 3. Isabel is our fair, pretty friend. She is a person who wins your respect and confidence and always conquers her subjects. Anything you give her to do, she makes a success of it. Therefore with her capability of doing whatever she does [well, we feel sure she will be a success in any kind of work she chooses in life. WILLIAM B. ALLISON Good nature and good sense mast ever meet.” Joke Editor of Oriole; Manager of Foot- ball Team ’2 1 -’22 ; Captain of Football Team ’22-’23; President of Athletic Association ’22- ' 23, ’23-’24; Monogram Club ’21-’22, ’22-’23, ’23-’24; Glee Club ' 23-’24. “Bill’ is one of our star athletes. Whenever we are in fear and trem- bling at a football or baseball game, he always saves the day, if it is humanly possible. Yet he very seldom gets “knocked out” and we feel sure that a guardian angel watches over him and will always. THE ORIOLE LIVINGSTON B. SHEPPARD “And indeed I know no one who has more friends, Especially among the ladies Business Manager of Oriole; President of Literary Society ’23-’24; Vice-Presi- dent of Monogram Club ’23- ' 24; As- sistant Director of Helpus Tappa Keg ’23-’24; Class Poet ’23-’24; Monogram Club ’21-’22, ’22-’23, ’23-’24. “Shep” is one of our star foot- ball players, a good student, and just a jolly good fellow in every respect. He is admired by every- one for his handsome countenance and melodious voice, which charms all hearers. Here’s good luck to you, “Shep”; you’ve helped to make the Class of ’24 one of the very best. OUR BEST HUNTER SHIP’ 33 “TEXAS” When darkness fades into the grey of the morning, the air is filled with the resonant music of the pack in hot pursuit of old Sir Renard. E’er the twilight falls the voice of only one dog floats back on the breeze to greet the ears of the eager listeners. This is “Texas,” the lone star. re } THE ORIOLE HISTORY OF SENIOR CLASS O UR history will be a brief summary of our school life at P. H. S. and an expression of some of our hopes and aspirations. If, in the coming years, it shall serve to remind us of those high ideals, it will have served its purpose well. It was in the year 1920 that we, a body of sixty-two pupils, began our high school career. Being both ambitious and en- thusiastic we made a great record in our Freshman year, and shall always remember those happy school days we spent, in spite of the fact that we were constantly reminded that we were just “rats.” The Sophomore year was begun with the same enthusiasm as the first, although there were only about half as many stu- dents as there were the year before. We cheerfully underwent all the hardships necessary to pass our examinations, and to become Juniors. Our Junior year was very quiet, though there were thirty of us, being the largest Junior class that had ever been at P. H. S. Our one great aim was to reach the Senior year, which we had been looking forward to for so long. At last, the year of all years has arrived ; a few new members have been added to our class, while some of the old ones have stopped. We felt very important for the first month, or until we saw our reports. Could there be a mistake? Did the E’s on French mean “excellent?” Did the F’s on English mean “fine”? It was a hard blow, although it brought us to the realiza- tion that we were not all wise beings but struggling Seniors only. We determined to redeem ourselves and to make the year a great “avent” in our history. We have accomplished much, guided by our Class President, Martha Derrick, who, with her sweet disposition, has been ever ready to lend a helping hand. Our class has had many honors conferred upon them, Captain Clarence Miller, Livingston Sheppard, William Allison, John Cox, Alton Duncan, Albert Kirkner, Howard Gilmer, and Mar- vin Harden being among the most noted football stars. Also we find in our class two of the best basketball players on the team — Pauline Bopp and Marion Thomas, Pauline being Manager. Has well Sizer, Conway Smith, Albert Kirkner and Alonzo Carper are artists, and have done much to make The Oriole of ’24 original and attractive. The musical members of our class are Martha Derrick, Alyne 34 THE ORIOLE a Hurd, Marion Thomas, Margaret Dalton, Vola Wohlford, Isabel Miller, Howard Gilmer, and Marvin Harden, every member being a “songbird.” We shall never forget Naomi Cannaday’s curls, Louise Dud- ley’s laugh, and our “Frenchie” Jeanette Ray. Billy Cheves is one of our midgets, but always manages to make himself heard. Foy McGuire is very dignified, and upholds his office as Treas- urer of the class with the utmost gravity. But does he like fun? I wonder! Beatrice Webb and Bernice Dewese are our deep thinkers — quiet and reserved. And what would the class of ’24 be without Thelma Richard- son, Allene Miller and Maxine Umberger, who are always ready either for work or for play? Many of us have often thought we would like to leave dear old P. H. S., but now that the time has come we sadly bid fare- well to our classmates and teachers, to go out from the school that has grown so dear to us. And as we go forth into the busy world to fight the battles of life, though we may be many miles from Pulaski, our minds will turn, from time to time, to the members of the faculty, and to all our friends, who have con- tributed so much to our pleasure. Sylvia Byrd, ’24. THE ORIOLE 2 LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT w E, the Senior Class of nineteen hundred and twenty-four, F| 1 being of sound mind, and of a disposing disposition, V J realizing the uncertainty of the future, do hereby make this, our last will and testament, in order, as justly as may be, to divide among our successors all our property, real, personal, and mixed. First: Having no worldly goods to give away, we make no mention thereof, in this, our will, but dispose of our rights, experiences, and privileges, which have hitherto been ours as Seniors, and nothing more whatsoever. Second: We do hereby will to the Junior Class our “Digni- fied Seniority,” along with our so called “privileges” and the right to be called down at any time for anything by any member of the “Grade Faculty”; also the right to sing with loud voices the High School songs, give the High School yells, and other- wise conduct themselves in a ridiculous manner, together with the exclusive right to browbeat the High School Faculty. Third: To the remainder of the High School we will that long lost law, “Freedom of Speech,” and the right to become Seniors, according to the rules and regulations of Mr. Thomas Jackson of the Department of Interior Decorating.

Bernice Dewese wills her good report to Selma Quesenberry. Howard Gilmer wills his Latin Class to Miss Birdsong. Fifth: To the faculty we will the following: To Professor Brugh, our deepest appreciation for the lectures made before the Senior Class during the year, and for the in- terest which he has shown in each one of us, and also, a football team which will- — some day — beat Roanoke. To Miss Thomas, our love and respect, and the right to feel that everyone of us is indebted to her for many favors and kind- nesses and the never lacking interest she has taken in us during our four years of high school. We also will to her a mansion on “Top of Peak Knob.” To Mr. Eckman, a French class that will never, never use present participles, “regardless,” and a Chemistry class that will hand in irregulary all regularly assigned note books and problems. We also will to him our many thanks for the numerous things he has done for us. To Miss Finks, all our “ain’ts” and incorrect English, which THE ORIOLE are to be destroyed at once. Also our gratitude for her most helpful aid during our high school career. To Miss Birdsong, the exclusive right to translate this, our will, into Latin and a study period in which only the deaf and dumb are allowed. To Miss Hughes, a muffler for her fast, commanding voice, to prohibit her from saying more than five hundred words every ten seconds. Sixth: To all we leave behind us, we will the joys of school life, without its sorrows; the pleasant and helpful associations we have had with faculty and students; the capacity to form lasting friendships, the one with the other; and a full share in the tender memories which will always gather as we think of Pulaski High School — to have and to hold unto them and their successors forever. In witness whereof, we sign and seal this solemn last will and testament in the presence of our faculty, fellow students, friends and relatives, this Commencement Day, the twenty- second of May, nineteen hundred and twenty-four. Howard Gilmer, Jr., ’24. THE ORIOLE © PROPHECY OF CLASS OF ’24 EHOLD! a prophet is raised up among you! Come, gaze with me into the crystal ball. Let me rend the veil that bars our mortal eye from all that lies beyond the present. Let us annihilate time and step beyond the present — say twenty years. It is 1944, my friends. We have wandered back to visit the haunts of our youth and clasp again the hands of classmates and friends. The Gem City has grown to vast proportions. Radford is a suburb, Dublin the hub. The Class of ’24 has invaded the exclusive circles of every walk of life from Science to Religion ; Astronomy to Agriculture. Noted among the most prominent is Albert Kirkner, who has invented a pocket radio that keeps him informed as to every thought of his best girl. Foy McGuire was the inventor of a rocket that traveled to the moon and bounced back again. He is trying to persuade Louise Kirkner to take a ride with him on his next trip. William Allison has perfected a model road that can be carried with him, unfolding in front and rolling up behind as he travels. Ah! I see a dear little bungalow, surrounded by hollyhocks, and who should be the proud mistress but my old classmate, Sylvia Byrd. You can guess the rest! And on down the block is the comer drug store. The stately proprietor may be a stranger to you, but on second thought, I’m sure you all will recognize John Cox. His face brightens. Following his glance, I behold two white-clad figures entering the establishment of Dr. Cox. There is something familiar about their faces that takes me back to my high school days. Oh! I have it! — Louise Dudley and Maxine Umberger, now head nurses at Wurno Memorial Hospital. But lo! there looms before me the dome of the Capitol. The city of Washington is presented to my view. I see the Presi- dent reclining in a wicker chair, his face pale from the effects of a long and serious illness. Further explanation is not neces- sary, as we have all seen from the late presidential campaign, the overwhelming vote for Howard Cecil Gilmer, Jr. His personal physician, Livingston Sheppard, is watching over him patiently, but for other reasons than professional ones. A stronger tie binds their hearts — they were classmates at P. H. S. THE ORIOLE Hark! I hear the faint strains of the pipe organ of the nearby cathedral. Drawing nearer and finding the doors flung open, I I enter, attracted by the melody. Who is this fair organist? Ah! it is Martha, Martha Derrick, our own President at P. H. S. Blending with the notes of the organ, one can hear the wail of a violin. Marvin Harden, our violinist, we knew you would rise to the heights! Who is the pastor of this beautiful cathe- dral? Who is he who is strolling so stately from the vestry room? Alton Duncan! We predicted it, “Dunk.” On leaving the church, I see the offices of Carper, Sizer and Smith, designers, architects and cartoonists. Alonzo has just returned from a trip to his old home in Pulaski and together they recall their classmates. “Alonzo, Dr. Marion Thomas and Attorney Margaret Dalton are in business in Washington.” “My! but surprises never cease! Either one married?” “No, nothing like that. Oh! yes, what about Billy Cheves?” “Why he’s Professor of Physics at Columbia University. Didn’t you know that? And Joe Bones is now First Lieutenant at West Point. Oh! he’s coming! And what do you know? Bernice Dewese, Naomi Cannaday and Pauline Bopp are in- structors at Chevy Chase. Isabel Miller is leading lady on Fash- ion Row and Beatrice Webb is private Secretary to the Presi- dent.” “Possibly you noticed the millinery shop around the corner? That is successfully owned and managed by Thelma Richardson and Allene Miller.” “Vola Wohlford is teaching music abroad and Jeanette Ray is Domestic Science teacher at Goucher College, specializing in lemon pies.” Here my vision is interrupted, for I hear some one calling me. Where am I? Why to be sure this is only 1924 and — oh! I’m so sleepy. This task is indeed too much for one not inspired. Alas, my friends, I am no prophet. The young dream dreams, and the old prophesy, but as for me, I can only wish that you may live long and be happy. Alyne Hurd, ’24.

H. S. and now we are Juniors. We came to P. H. S. in the autumn of 1921. Owing to the fact that we were very ignorant we often afforded the higher classes a great deal of amusement. However, we took this with good will, for we knew they did not mean to offend us. Two years of hard work have made us Juniors. The farther we go the more difficult the work seems. Nevertheless this does not discourage us, for we realize the value of an education and we also realize that those who are easily discouraged never accomplish anything in life. We are willing to work hard this year and next for we realize that anything that is worth while must be worked for diligently. Although we had a large class at the first of the term, unfor- tunately some have been compelled to discontinue their school work; while some of them had good reasons, others failed to appreciate values. Possibly many of our remaining number would have stopped school had it not been for the fact that they had wisdom enough to press forward with unfailing efforts and with a determination to never give up. If it had not been for our teachers and their influence over us, more of us would have dropped our school work. We are in- debted very much to our teachers who have helped us in every way possible. It is our greatest ambition to be Seniors next year.

Not being Freshmen, when we do anything unusually foolish, there is no excuse for us; and not being Seniors or Juniors, when we do anything exceptionally brilliant (which is seldom), no forthcoming praise meets our anxiously waiting ears. Such is the life of a woebegone Sophomore. Although few of us have “made” the Honor Roll, we do recog- nise it when we see it, and our standard is not below the average, as might be expected. It has been said that history repeats itself, and as a result we have our usual allotment of “celebri- ties,” there being a large number of excellent football players from our class. The basketball squad was also well represented from our class, the Captain included. But there have been some pleasures, after all, as the sym- pathetic J uniors gave us a hike that happened to be very success- ful. Juniors, however, always have histories, so we are anxious- ly awaiting our turn.

H. S. It was a beautiful day in September when we all met in our old class room, the Seventh Grade, and were taken up into the High School feeling every important. Between our sports and the many schemes which the “freshies” have planned there has been no end of fun and gayety. Whenever anything unusual takes place the “freshies” are blamed for it all. But being strong in numbers and as quick to plan a way to get out of trouble as to get into it, we are usually saved. We little realize, when we are talking of good old vacation, what a sad parting it will be after having been together so long. We have shared each others joys and sorrows until now we are sorry that school will soon close, and although we look to the summer vacation with much joy, we hope to see every member back next fall and we feel sure that every member will be anxious to return.

THE ORIOLE THE BOY WHO RECOMMENDED HIMSELF A gentleman once advertised for a boy to help him in his office, and nearly fifty boys applied for the place. Out of the whole number, he — in a very short time — selected one, dismissing the rest. “On what ground did you select that boy?” asked a friend. “He had not a single letter of recommendation.” “You are mistaken,” said the gentleman, “he had a great many. He wiped his feet when he came in and closed the door after him, showing that he was careful. He instantly gave his seat to that old lame man, showing that he was thoughtful. He took off his cap when he entered, and answered my questions promptly, showing that he was polite and gentlemanly. He picked up the book, which I had purposely laid on the floor, and replaced it on the table, showing that he was orderly; and he waited quietly for his turn, instead of pushing. When I talked to him, I noticed that his clothing was tidy, his hair neatly brushed, and his nails clean. Do you not call these things letters of recommendation? I do. What I learn about a boy by using my eyes for ten minutes is worth more than all the fine letters of recommendation he can bring me.” Gaynell Stuart , ’27. THE ORIOLE 2 MY STUDIES Latin is a dead language, As dead as dead can be. It killed all the Romans And now it’s killing me. In History we study about The men of ages past. I try to get my History up And do succeed at last. Algebra is a corker. And every one will say You have to work your problems out, And bring them every day. English makes me sick at heart And I will sadly say, That when my report goes out each month They are always “F’s,” not “A’s.” Of all the places I have been The school house is the worst, They will not let you talk or laugh, And sometimes I think I’ll burst. And when I grow to be a man, These things, I hope to know, Were for the good, and not the bad, For I have labored so.

THE ORIOLE AUNT DINAH AND A FRESHMAN Aunt Dinah was an old fashioned colored mammy. She was respected by both white and colored because of her age. Susan Jane was a little girl who was just starting in High School. She was taught to believe that Aunt Dinah knew everything. Susan Jane went into the kitchen one night where Aunt Dinah was preparing supper. She was talking about school and about the things that had happened that day whensheasked, Aunt Dinah, do you like Algebra?” ‘‘I don’t know’s I ever et none, but it shore do soun’ good.” Susan Jane explained to her that Algebra was a study and not something to eat. Then Susan Jane got out her History and studied until she read — In the year A. D.” She began to wonder what A. D. stood for. Aunt Dinah, do you know what ‘in the year A. D.’ stands for?” Honey, dat’s easy. It jes’ stands fo’ in de time ob Aunt Dinah.”’ After finishing her History lesson, Susan Jane picked up her English book. She was studying about the rising action, the climax, and the falling action of a story. She did not know what these terms meant, so she asked: Aunt Dinah, what is the climax of a story?” I jes’ don’t know what de climax ob a story is but Ben sar- tinly do chaw climax.” Then Susan Jane began to study Latin until she came to the question, What are the principal parts of possum?” Of course she went to Aunt Dinah. She asked, Aunt Dinah, what are the principal parts of possum?” Aunt Dinah answered, De principal parts ob a pussum am de head, de four legs, de body, en tail.” I am afraid Susan Jane didn’t make very good grades on her lessons the next day.

Begin is not as easy As it appeared to be, But I must be obliging — On that we all agree. I sat there and I waited, (I honestly did try) For a dandy inspiration To drop down from the sky. I waited and I waited, No inspiration came, And on that Oriole Staff I just laid all the blame. ’Twas time to try another plan, Of that I was aware. I got right down to good hard work, Myself I did not spare. I toiled and labored, drudged away, To try to make a rhyme. This play I found to be the best, It saved me just in time. Mary Low man, ’27. 64 THE ORIOLE (92 2 ECHO AND NARCISSUS (Taken from the Myth) Echo was a beautiful nymph, fond of the woods and hills, where she devoted herself to woodland sports. But she had one failing; she was fond of talking, and would have the last word. One day Juno was seeking her husband, who she had good reason to think, was amusing himself among the nymphs. Echo by her talk, tried to delay the goddess till the nymphs made their escape. When Juno discovered it, she said to Echo: “You shall lose the use of your voice except for one purpose — reply. You shall have the last word, but no power to speak first.” This nymph saw Narcissus, a beautiful youth, as he pursued the chase upon the mountains. She loved him and followed his footsteps. Oh! how she longed to address him, and win him to converse, but it was not in her power. One day the youth, being separated from his companions, shouted, “Who’s here?” Echo replied, “Here.” Narcissus looked around, but seeing no one, called out, “Come!” Echo answered, “Come.” As no one came, Narcissus called again, “Why do you shun me?” Echo asked the same question. “Let us join one another,” said the youth. The maid answered with all her heart in the same words and hastened to the spot. He started back, exclaiming, “Hands off! I would rather die than you should have me!” “Have me,” said she; but it was all in vain. He left her and she went to hide in the woods. From that time forth she lived in caves and among mountain cliffs. Her form faded with grief, until at last all her flesh shrank away. Her bones were changed into rocks, and there was nothing left to her but her voice. With that she is still ready to reply to anyone who calls her, and keeps up her old habit of having the last word. Narcissus shunned all the rest of the nymphs, as he had done poor Echo. One day a maiden, who had in vain endeavored to attract him, prayed that he might sometime or other feel what it was to love and not have it returned. Her prayer was granted. There was a clear fountain, with water like silver, where the grass grew fresh around it, and the rocks sheltered it from the sun. The youth came here one day, fatigued with hunting, hot 65 THE ORIOLE 2 and thirsty. He stooped down to drink and saw his own image in the water. He stood gazing at those bright eyes, the rounded cheeks, the parted lips and the glow of health and exercise over all. He fell in love with himself. He brought his lips near to take a kiss; he plunged his arms in to embrace the beloved object It fled at his touch, but re- turned again after a moment. He could not tear himself away; he talked with the supposed spirit. His tears fell into the water and disturbed the image. He entreated it to stay that he might gaze at it, if he could not touch it. Thus he fanned the flame that consumed him until he lost all of his vigor and beauty, which had so charmed the nymph Echo. But she kept near him and when he cried, “Alas! alas!” she answered him with the same words. He pined away and died. The nymphs mourned for him and prepared a funeral pile to burn his body, but it was nowhere to be found. But in its place a flower, purple within and surrounded with white leaves, bears the name and preserves the memory of Narcissus. Martha Derrick, ’24. 66 cz THE ORIOLE OUR SCHOOL There’s a school in dear old Pulaski, It’s the best in all the land; It is built on a firm foundation, And not on one of sand. It has the best teachers in all the land; It’s rules and regulations are the same, And wherever we old schoolmates may go We shall give it the same good name. When we, as Seniors, leave this school, And over the wide world roam, We shall dream pleasant dreams of days gone by, And of the school that was our own.

Sheppard, Cox, Kirkner, Miller, and Patteson. While Pulaski did not score as many points as in some former seasons, she met and defeated the strongest teams in this section of the State. Pulaski opened the season by defeating the Galax High team by the score of 2 to 0. Next she met the strong Christiansburg team who played to the tune 0 to 0. Coach Hall then carried a rather crippled team to Bristol where Pulaski took the count from this strong aggregation 19 to 0. Pulaski then journeyed to Blueheld to meet Beaver High where she struck her stride, easily taking her enemy into camp 34 to 12. After this game Pulaski never had her goal line crossed and never was forced to play a defensive game, on the other hand always taking the offensive from the first whistle. The fifth game was taken from Wytheville, 19 to 0, in easy fashion as indicated by Wytheville only making two first downs in the entire game. The sixth game proved to be a little less than a track meet with Radford which resulted a score of 76 to 0. Next came the strong Blacks- burg aggregation bent on taking the sting out of the “good going” Yellow Jackets, but where could there a team be found who could take the measure of such a smooth running machine! This game was advertised as being the hardest game of the sea- son, as the glory of the Blacksburg Warriors was heralded throughout Southwest Virginia. Yet they were let down as perhaps any High School team in the State would have been, to the tune of 26 to 0, with three first downs as their share of the bacon. The last game of the season was played with Emory and Henry Junior Varsity in a veritable sea of mud. The hnal score was 13 to 0 with Pulaski again wagging off with the long end of the numerals. Thus the team of ’23 ended its season with a record that will prove an inspiration to teams in succeeding years, and the work of such men as Allison, Patteson, and Duncan in the backfield, and Sheppard, Cox and Miller in the line, will long be remember- ed by lovers of the gridiron sport. To Coach Allen F. Hall and his brother, King, goes the honor of producing a team with a brilliant record — a team which did a credit to itself, an honor to its Alma Mater and one of which any high school might justly be proud.

This was a victory for us, the score being 26 to 1. Our next game was in Pembroke on November the third. They had a good team but the victory went to P. H. S. by a score of 26 to 8. Our first game on the new Parish House court was played November the twenty- third with Pearisburg, the champions of Giles County. Pulaski again showed what she could do and the score was 79 to 24 in our favor. Wytheville next went down in defeat, here, the score being 35 to 6. Our next “royal victory’’ against odds and the other odds was in Bluefield, West Virginia, February the ninth. There we defeated “Beaver High’’ on a two division court with West Virginia rules by a score of 19 to 15. February the twenty- first saw Bristol, Virginia, lose out here, the score being 13 to 6. Next came our first game with Roanoke and we showed them that Southwest Virginia had a real team this year. The Maroon and White went down before the Orange and Black by the score of 12 to 9. Following this we defeated Norton 40 to 3, here, winning again the championship of the Fifth District. On March the fifteenth, the champions of the Fourth and Fifth Districts played here in the semi-finals of the State con- test. It was a great game, the first half the score being 10 to 9 in Roanoke’s favor and in the words of the referee, Miss Gra- ham, “The most evenly matched teams I’ve ever seen. I be- lieve it will end in a tie.’’ But luck deserted us when Margaret and Pauline Bopp were put out on technical fouls in the first half and the score ended 25 to 14 in favor of Roanoke, who will meet the next winning team for the State championship.

We are also very fortunate to have a professional player as Coach. “Doc” Ayers, as he is known among the boys, is to be with the team every evening possible and with the help of Coach Hall, the High School should have a very good chance for the State title.

THE ORIOLE THE ORIOLE “MAGGIE AND JIGGS” The “Maggie and Jiggs” contest was entered into with the object of raising funds for the Athletic Association. The plan was to choose two competitive teams to get subscriptions for the Ladies’ Home Journal. Martha Derrick was appointed leader of the “Maggie Division” with William Allison as assist- ant, and Roby Sutherland, leader of the “Jiggs Division” with Virginia Runion as assistant. Howard Gilmer, Jr., was treas- urer for the contest. It was to continue for one week, the losers entertaining the winners at the end of that time. Each member of the “Maggie Division” was given a red ribbon, and each member of the “Jiggs Division,” a blue ribbon. There was much enthusiasm and pep shown throughout the entire week, it being a close race. There was a great deal of excitement when the final score was announced — “Jiggs” winning 77 to 70. Gray Baxter was awarded a fountain pen for getting the greatest number of subscriptions among the girls, William Thomas being the winner among the boys.

RONALD POWELL’S MOTTO “It is better to remain silent and be called a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt.” Jeanette Ray — I read Alonzo’s “Ivanhoe,” didn’t you, Billy? Bill Cheves — No, I read Scott’s. Mr. Eckman (in chemistry class) — What is a precipitate? Alyne Hurd — Something that jumps down. Miss Finks — Jeanette, was the queen responsible for the king’s death? Jeanette Ray — Yes, because she married him. Alton (walking into Miss Fink’s room) — -Miss Finks, this is the coziest room I’ve been in yet. Alton (turning aside) — Now she will pass me on English. Every one laughed and Mr. Eckman asked what the joke was. John Cox — Ronald is married. Mr. Eckman Huh! I don’t think that’s any joke. William Allison — Is that stun- ning looking girl a teacher? Howard Gilmer — Yes, cer- tainly, her pupils are in her eyes. Mrs. Thomas (to Marion, coming down to breakfast late) — Did that young man kiss you last night? “Now, mother, do you sup- pose he came all the way from Bonsack to make eyes at the gold fish?” Tom Roberts, given to ad- miring the pretty girls of the city as they go down the street, found himself following one for them one sunny afternoon, hop- ing to get a glimpse of her face, Finally she turned, “Hello! Tom,” said his sister Virginia, smiling on him, “Better run home, dear, mother’s waiting for you.” June Hurd— I just put my hand on a hot iron; what must I do? Alyne Hurd — -Read Carlyle’s “Essay on Burns.” Mr. Eckman — What is space? Margaret Dyer — I have it in my head, sir, but I can’t explain it. John Cox — What is economy, father? Mr. Cox — Economy, my son, is a way of spending money without getting any fun out of it. THE ORIOLE “Baby” Haislip — Say, there’s a football player out here wants his picture taken. Photographer — Full face? “Baby” — No, half back. Marvin Harden — If potassium iodide would alcohol barium? Livingston Sheppard — N o , but dynamite. Miss Finks wrote on back of English paper, ‘‘Please write more legibly.” Joe Bones — What was that you wrote on my paper yester- day? Carl Bunts (disgusted at show) — Horse’s neck! Mary Draper — Do they? John Calfee — I am speaking for the future. Marshall Bassett — Yes, and if you don’t hurry up it’ll be here. Frances Mullins — I know a person who lives on onions alone. Margaret Dyer — Well, any one who eats onions ought to live alone. Miss Thomas (in history class) — Men spend half of their in- come for food and a sixth for clothes. Livingston Sheppard — Yes, I was just debating whether I would eat dinner today or go to the show tonight. Frank Jackson — What part of the body is the fray, Miss Finks? Miss Finks — Fray? What are you talking about? Frank — This book says Ivan- hoe was wounded in the fray. She — Whenever I see Gillie playing football, I imagine he is calling on me. He — Why, honey, does he make a football out of you? She — No, but he breaks through my interference. Lila Gilmer — Took at the man running away with the ball. Catherine Dudley — W ell, maybe he is tired playing. Lila — I’ll bet he’s sorry now; look at them pile on him. HEARD AT DRESSING Livingston Sheppard — These shoes are too small, damn it. I don’t believe I’ll ever get them on till I’ve worn them a spell. Charles Boley — What is the passing grade here, “D” isn’t it? George Crowder — Yeh, but last year I passed two courses with ‘‘ease.” Her eyes say, “Dear, I love you,” And I’d marry her, I would — But her lips, they say, “I seen her,” “I done” and “used to could.” THE ORIOLE Alton Duncan — What is more to be desired in an accident than presence of mind?

LOST— (1) Somewhere be- tween the post office and the school house a Waterman foun- tain pen coming home from lunch. (2) A red sweater with William Thomas sewed in the neck. Story writers are queer ani- mals. Their tales grow right out of their heads. Little Willie considers get- ting a thing through his head a simple matter. Once I heard a mother utter, “Daughter, go and shut the shutter.” “Shutter’s shut,” the daughter uttered, “I can’t shut it any shutter.” A man that bets may not be a good man, but a man that doesn’t bet is no better. “The lightning-bug is a funny bird, The poor thing has no mind, He goes on stumbling through the world With his head-light on behind.” THE ORIOLE The more than usual lack of intelligence among the students that morning got under the professor’s skin. “Class is dismissed,” he said, exasperated. “Please don’t flap your ears as you pass out.” Am I or am I not? I am. If I am not, what the duce am I ? Joke Editor (with a yawn and a stretch) — I’ve read them all over and haven’t cracked a smile. No matter how much mid- night oil ye editor burns on getting out his humor depart- ment, some one else always says, “I’ve heard that one before.” When the plumber makers a mistake he charges double for it. When a carpenter makes a mistake it’s just what he ex- pected. When a preacher makes a mistake no one knows the difference; but when an editor makes a mistake — tweet, tweet! Junior — That girl over there is a live wire. Senior — Introduce me; I want to be shocked. We knew not why his tie was neat and always neatly tied, until we pulled it; back it flew. “A snappy tie,” we cried. “Well, I slipped up on you, anyway, said the man to the banana peel, as he fell on the sidewalk. “I’m nobody’s fool,” she de- clared. “Be mine,” he offered gener- ously. Teacher — Some terrible things can be caught from kissing. Bobby — That’s the truth! You ought to see the poor fish my sister caught that way. Yes, it’s true, some people are so dumb that they think bridges were built to shade the fish. “Let me introduce Mr. Fish, he is an expert swimmer.” “Oh, yes, take him down and let him enjoy himself in the pool room.” Lady (purchasing ther- mometer) — And would you be so kind to set it to sixty-five, because that’s what the doctor says I’m to keep the room at. “I wish now,” said the lecturer “to tax your memory.” A wail in the audience: “Has it come to that?” “My good man, you should begin at the bottom and work up.” “It can’t be done in my line. I’m a grave digger.” r THE ORIOLE When the donkey saw the zebra He began to switch his tail; “Well I never,” was his com- ment, “There’s a mule that’s been in jail.” “Charmed, I am sure,” said the watch chain as it was put on. “What are you going to do with your week-end?” “Put my hat on it.” “Have you ever been mar- ried?” asked the judge. “Ye-es,” stammered the prisoner. “To whom?” “A woman, sir,” answered -the guilty one. “Of course it was a woman,” snapped the judge. “Did you ever hear of any one marrying a man?” “Yes, sir,” the prisoner said, brightening, “my sister did.” N= Stage manager — All right, run up the curtain. Green stagehand — Say, wat- cha think I am, a squirrel? Smile if it kills you, and you will die with a grin on your face. Alonzo Carper — I am indebt- ed to you for all I learned in your course. Prof. Brugh — Not at all; it was a mere trifle. He tried to cross the railroad track Before a rushing train; They put the pieces in a sack But couldn’t find the brain. “A fool,” said the professor to the student who asked a catch question, “can ask things a wise man can’t answer.” “Is that the reason,” asked a student in the back row, “why I flunked last term in this sub- ject?” Mamma — Did you hear me when I called you this morning? Willie— Yes. Mamma — Why didn’t you answer, then? Willie — Couldn’t think of any- thing to say. Visitor — What is the hardest thing to learn about farming? William Allison — Getting up in the morning at five o’clock. Alyne Hurd (talking to Theo- dore Hall)— Theodore, you make me sick. Theodore — I am glad that I am good for something. Mr. Eckman — Late again. Marvin Harden — Not a word, professor; so am I. Daisy Lou Matheney — 1 don’t understand why women cannot become medical men.
