B. D. Smith Bros., Printers Pulaski, Va. Foreword HP 1 I ?: w HIS, the sixth edition of The Oriole, represents the united efforts of a class to carry out the ideals of their school. It is a true record of our class life filled with our joys and ambitions. And so turn its pages reverently for in each one we hope to have instilled something of the spirit of our school.

Now it is a thriving, progressive, wide-awake town of seven thousand five hundred people. Our first industry was a zinc furnace. Now we have two iron furnaces, a General Chemical Company, two furniture plants, a knitting mill, two foundries, a large coal plant and many smaller plants with a combined payroll of over $ 1 , 000 , 000 . Our first school house was a two-room building on Water Street; now we have two splendid white and one colored school building. Our first church was a one-room shed. Now every denomination has a handsome church. Our first street was a series of mud-holes, and now we have seven miles of hard sur- face streets. Pulaski is noted all over the country for its public-spirited citizens and for the pep and energy displayed in promoting public interests of all kinds. It is peculiarly blessed in not having any factions and with a splendid spirit of co-operation among all of its citizens combined in the laudable purpose of making our town a clean, moral, up-to-date young city and the best town in the country to live, prosper and be happy in.

President Class ’25-’26; La Societe Fran- caise ’25-’26; Literary and Dramatic Club ’25- ’26 ; Literary Editor of Oriole; Virginia Literary Society ’22-’23, ’23- ’24, ’24- ' 25; Class Historian ’24-’25; Athletic Association ’22-’23, ’23-’24; Basketball Squad ’22- ’23 ; Triangle Club ’22-’23. VVe are very thankful to claim “D. D.” as one of our classmates. As our President she has shown her ability in leading us through many hard- ships. She stands with a willing heart, ready to take any move for the betterment of the class. JAMES DEAN CREGER “ Zella ” “Look, lie’s winding up the watch of his wit; by and by it will strike.” Assistant Manager of Oriole; Vice-Presi- dent of Class ’26; Testator; Literary and Dramatic Club ’25-’26; Baseball ’24-’25; Virginia Literary Society ’24- ' 25; Athletic Association ’22- ' 23, ’23-’24. Tall, athletic, industrious and at- tractive is Dean. Though often in mischief, he is interested in his studies and does commendable work. Not only has he a good record in his class room, but he stars on the base- ball field. [ 19 ] WALTER ANSELL DERRICK “ Wooch ” ‘ ‘All thoughtful men are solitary and original in themselves. Business Manager of Oriole; Treasurer of Class ’25-’26; Suicide Club ’25-’26; Literary and Dramatic Club ’25-’26; Manager of Baseball ’24-’25; President of Class ’23-’24; Assistant Manager of Baseball ’23-’24; Treasurer of Class ’22-’23. How he can read that Virgil! You’d think it was the poet himself returned. Next time you hear the “Midnight Serenaders” watch Ansell puffing and blowing on his cornet, and you’ll know that he is a musician too. P. H. S. is going to miss him because in any diffi culty he has always been ready to lend a willing and helping hand. LENA BONES “Jerry The highest honors are those oj a good sport.” Club Editor of Oriole; Secretary of Class ’25-’26; Literary and Dramatic Club; La Societe Francaise; Basketball ’22- 23’, ’23-’24, ’24-’25, ’25-’26; Vice-Presi- dent Athletic Association ’23-’24; Ath- letic Association ’22-’23, ’23-’24; Mono- gram Club ’ 22- ’23, ’23-’24, ’24- 25; Virginia Literary Society ’22-’23, ' 23- ' 24, ’24-’25; President Triangle Club ’22-’23; Treasurer Class ' 23-’24. Does she like athletics? Yes, sir! We’ll say she does. Jerry is one of the basketball six and they couldn’t do without her. That sunny smile and attractive personality win for her many friends wherever she goes. Here’s wishing the very best of luck and success to you, Jerry. [ 20 ] THELMA MARIE BUNTS “Bunty “ Far we may search before we find A heart so gentle and so kind.” Joke Editor; Literary and Dramatic Club; President La Societe Francaise; Vir- ginia Literary Society ' 22-23, ’23-’24. To know her is to love her. That certainly does apply to Thelma, and she is known throughout the school by practically everyone. In French does she especially excell, though it cannot be said that she is delinquent in any of her studies, as the honor roll each month will prove that to you. She is a first-class scholar and taking her all way round she is a popular and important figure at P. H. S. MARY ELIZABETH BOYD ‘ ‘Little Girl’ ’ “ It’s the songs ye sing an’ the smiles ye wear, That’s making the sunshine everywhere.” Senior Section Editor; Literary and Dra- matic Club; La Societe Francaise; Ukulele Club; Virginia Literary Society ’22-’23, ’23-’24. A loyal member of ’26 is Mary, bright, happy and gay. She is one of our best pupils in French. She is also an energetic worker and a con- sistent student. Her amiable dis- position has won her many friends in P. H. S. and elsewhere. We know that she will always stand among the first. Here’s to wishing her much success in whatever work she may choose. ( 21 ] LUCILLE VIRGINIA BYRD ' “Wid” ■ “ Good humor is the clear llue sky of the soul.” Joke Editor; Literary and Dramatic Club ’25-’26; La Societe Francaise ’25-’26; Virginia Literary Society ’22-’23, ’23-’24. A more sincere friend cannot be found in P. H. S., noble in every deed and thought. Her charming and friendly manner have won for her a place in the hearts of all. She is a loyal member of our class and ever ready to smile and share in the work to be done. WILLIAM W. CUMMINGS . “Woo” “ profess not talking, only this: that each man do his best.” Athletic Editor; Literary and Dramatic Club ’25- ’26 ; Suicide Club ’25-’26; Monogram Club ’24-’25; Athletic As- sociation ’24-’25; Football ’24- ’25 ; Vir- ginia Literary Society ’22-’23, ’23-’24, ’24-’25. Woodson doesn’t make a lot of fuss about it but nevertheless he is one of our most loyal seniors. Every now and then we hear a burst of some- thing, mirth presumably, which re- minds us of the fact that our Cum- mings friend is still with us and ready for anything. [ 22 ] GEORGE F. CROWDER “ Buck ” “To live as gently as I can; to be, no matter where, a man. Literary Editor; Literary and Dramatic Club ’25-’26; Suicide Club ’25-’26; Capt. Baseball _’24-’25; Baseball ’22-’23, 23-24, ’24-’25; Athletic Association ' 22-23, ’23-’24; Virginia Literary So- ciety ’24-’25; President Class ’22-’23; Vice-President Class ’23-’24. “Buck” enters into all the jokes and tricks played during school hours and comes out with an innocent look although he does not always get away with it. He has been a “thriving suc- cess” throughout his school career and we know he will be so in the future. MARGARET EWING DYER 11 Darby “What she wills to do or say, Seems wisest, discreetest, best.” Class Poet; Manager Basketball ’25-’26; Assistant Manager Basketball ’23-’24; Basketball ’22-’23, ’23-’24, ’25-’26; Literary and Dramatic Club ’25-’26; Assistant Editor-in-Chief of Oriole-, President Class ’24-’25; Cheer Leader ’24-’25; Vice-President Literary So- ciety ’24-’25, ’22-’23, ’23-’24; Historian Class ’23-’24; Monogram Club ’23-’24; Athletic Association ’23-’24; President Class ’22-’23; Secretary Triangle Club ’22-’23. Darby takes an active part in all school activities. Also we are sure she will be one of the noted musicians of her day. Margaret, we know you will succeed in whatever you choose as your life’s work, even if it is teach- ing Latin. [ 23 ] MARY HARTLEY FITZHUGH “Toodles “Happy am I, from care I am free, Why aren’t they all contented like me?’’ Editor-in-Chief of Oriole; Literary and Dramatic Club ’25-’26; La Societe Francaise ’25-’26; Manager Basketball ’24-’25;Basketball ’22-’23,’23-’24,’24-’25; Monogram Club ’22-’23, ’23-’24, 24’-’25; Athletic Association ’22-’23, ’23-’24; Virginia Literary Society ’22-’23,’23-’24, ’24-’25; Triangle Club ’22-’23; Vice- President Class ’22-’23. Woe be unto our dear old chapel walls! No longer will they resound with that wonderful playing. “Tood- les” is leaving us, but happy thought - — other halls will ring with her play- ing and other people will listen with delightful awe. Then perhaps our dear gay friend and musician will re- turn to us. JUDSON BURTON HARRIS “Juke” “The man that loves and laughs must sure do well.” Literary Editor; Literary and Dramatic Club ’25- ’26 ; Suicide Club ’25-’26; Virginia Literary Society ’22-’23,’23-’24, ’24-’2S. Along with many other “wits” we may class “Juke” as the vertex, for he is always ready to share in the fun. In class “Juke” can give very sensible answers if he wants to, but he doesn ' t believe in using any more energy than is necessary. [ 24 ] RUTH LOUISE JACKSON “Babe” “ The most precious articles come in the smallest packages.” Senior Section Editor; Class Historian ’25-’26; Literary and Dramatic Club 25-’26; Virginia Literary Society ’22- ’23, ’23-’24, ’24-’25. Ruth with her sunny smiles seems to make you forget your troubles; perhaps this is the reason she has so many friends. Don’t think she does not enjoy a good time, for she has her share of the fun. This doesn’t mean lessons are slighted, for “Babe” is a good student and we feel sure she will make a success. KATHLEEN PEARL HURST “Pat” “ Not too serious, not too gay, Just a real good pal in every way. Photographic Editor; Ukulele Club ’25- ’26; Literary and Dramatic Club ’25- ' 26; Virginia Literary Society ’22-’23, ’ 23- ’24, ’24-’25; Triangle Club ’22-’23. Of all the girls in the Senior Class there is none better loved than “Pat.” She is jolly and bright and has a very sweet disposition which is proved by the smile she usually wears and by the number of her friends. Kathleen may be justly termed an all-round school girl interested in every activity. [ 25 ] MARGARET E. KIRKMAN “Alike” “A smile for all, a greeting glad, A friendly , jolly way she had.” Senior Section Editor of Oriole; Secretary of Literary and Dramatic Club ’25-’26; Giftorian; Virginia Literary Society ’24-’25; Basketball ’24-’25. Yes, Margaret is one of our most attractive and best liked Seniors. We all know she makes good grades but she doesn’t hurt herself studying. She has caused turmoil in many hearts — one especially. We all know V. P. I. is her favorite college, and if you want to know why — well, just ask “Mike.” GLENN T. JORDAN, JR. “Tom” “ Speech is great, but silence is greater.” Calendar Editor; Vice-President of Lit- erary and Dramatic Club ’25-’26; Suicide Club ’25-’26; Virginia Literary Society ’22-’23, ’23-’24. “Tom” is one of our most loyal Seniors. He has that rare sensibility that very few of us have — silence at the proper time. He will always find friends wherever he goes. Old P.H.S. will miss you, “Tom.” [ 26 ] LILLIAN HALL LOWMAN “Lil” “As merry as the day is long. Ad Editor; Literary and Dramatic Club ’25-’26; President Ukulele Club ’25-’26; Virginia Literary Society ’23-’24, ’24- ’25; Athletic Association ’22-’23. “Lil” is what we term a “happy medium.” She never tries to dis- play her knowledge, but can always be counted on for a sensible answer. She is a highly accomplished musician on the “uke” and is very accommo- dating when we ask her to play for us. DAVID CLOYD KENT “ Professor ” “An artist should have more than two eyes.” Art Editor; Literary and Dramatic Club ’2 5-’26; Virginia Literary Society ’24- ’25; Suicide Club ’25’-26. David joined us in the Junior year. My, how fortunate for us that he de- cided to leave D. M. A. and come back to us! You do not need to be told of his talent; just look at any one of his original drawings and you’ll see for yourself that he is indeed very gifted. Besides this, David is a fine sport and a loyal friend. [ 27 ] FRANCES TEASLEY MULLINS “ Frankie ” “ The thing that goes furthest towards making life worth while, that costs the least, and does th e most, is just a pleasant smile.” Class Prophet; Basketball ’23-’24, ’25-’26; Literary and Dramatic Club ’25-’26; La Societe Francaise ’25-’26; Treasurer Virginia Literary Society ’24-’25, ’ 23- ' 24; Athletic Association ’23- ’24 ; Tri- angle Club ' 22-’23. You’ve heard people say, “She’s one of our good-looking girls.’’ Well, Frances isn’t one of ’em -she ' s just about it, for she was chosen the pret- tiest girl in P. H. S. But don’t get the idea that she is the beautiful- but-dumb type, for she has plenty under that marvelous hair. CARSON WEBB DALTON “Dump “I have only done my duty As a man is bound to do.” Photographic Editor; Literary and Dra- matic Club; Secretary of La Societe Francaise; Virginia Literary Society ’22-’23, ’23-’24, ’24-’25. “Dump” is one of our good-natured Seniors, always willing to lend a help- ing hand when it comes to doing the extras. His cheerful smile and good humor have won him many friends. “Dump” isn’t an “A” pupil but never- theless he always comes through all right. [ 28 ] HURST OWEN, JR. li Baby “I don’t know what it is all about, but I am learning fast.” Photographic Editor; Literary and Dra- matic Club ’25-’26; Suicide Club ’25- ' 26; Virginia Literary Society ’22- ' 23, ’23-’24, ’24-’25. “Hurst Jr.” or “Baby,” so called by his fellow classmates, has been strug- gling along with us since our first year in high school, and is always ready and willing to do his share. But he is a quiet fellow, about whom nothing much is known, as he doesn’t believe in “tooting” his own horn. CLARA HAZEL NELSON “Haze” “A quiet personality often harbors J ] a great soul.” Joke Editor; Literary and Dramatic Club ’25-’26; La Societe Francaise ’25-’26; Virginia Literary Society ’22- ’23, ’23-’24. Good-natured and cheerful is Clara and a friend of all who know her, and we know she will be missed when she leaves us. She has the best wishes of the Senior Class and everyone hopes she will succeed in the walks of life. Clara is rarely ever heard from but she always shows up with good grades at the end of the month. [ 29 ] DELLA FAYE PIKE “Del” VIRGINIA LOUISE RUNION “Chink” “It is the silent who learn the most and live the longest.” “She is as sweet and musical as Apollo’s lute.” Calendar Editor; Literary and Dramatic Club ’25-’26; La Societe Francaise ’25-’26; Virginia Literary Society ’22- ’23, ’23-’24. Della’s motto seems to be, “Work while you work and play while you play,” for she proves herself efficient in whatever she undertakes. “Del” is the happy possessor of a sweet dis- position and we wish for her a long and lovely journey down some chosen lane of life. Athletic Editor; Literary and Dramatic Club ’25-’26; Secretary Class ’24-’25; Virginia Literary Society ’22-’23, ’23- ’24, ’24-’25; Monogram Club ’22-’23, ’23-’24; Basketball Captain 23-’24; Basketball Manager ’22-’23. Virginia, perhaps better known as “Chink,” is one of our star basketball players. She is also a girl of musical talent and is always willing to play for us whenever asked. By her ami- able disposition and ready smile she has won many friends during her school career. [ 30 ] HALLIE JEWEL SWAIM “ Hal ” “Our eyes won’t lose sight of thee. Ad Editor; President of Literary and Dramatic Club ’25-’26. Although she has been with us only a year she has found a place in our hearts. “Hal”ys jolly and has a very sweet personality which has won for her many friends. She never seems to worry about her studies, but when examinations roll around she always passes on them. LELIA CLARA PIKE 11 Pikie “ Never idle a moment but thrifty and thoughtful of others.” Literary Editor; Literary and Dramatic Club ’25-’26; La Societe Francaise ’25- ’26; Virginia Literary Society ’22-’23, ’23-’24. Yes, Lelia is one of our “A” pupils, always ready to help in anything of interest to her class. Although some- times she is a few moments late, it is due to the long distance or else she is spending more time on her studies. What will we do without little “Pikie?” [ 31 ] WILLIAM F. THOMAS “Bill” “ There is no tax on words. Ad Editor; Literary and Dramatic Club ’25- ’26 ; Suicide Club ’25-’26 ; Manager of Football ’24-’25; Monogram Club ’24- ' 25; Athletic Association ’23-’24; Virginia Literary Society ’22-’23, ’23- ’24, ’24-’25; Assistant Manager of Football ’23-’24; Manager of Baseball ’25-’26. Is that a vacuum cleaner in this room? No. It’s only “Bill.” If it had not been for his efforts as Ad Edi- tor the financial part of our “Oriole” would have gone to the “bow-wows.” We are not worrying about “Bill’s” success with all his business head. KATHRYN BROWN SNAP? “ Ginger ” “But thou dost make the very night itself brighter than day. Calendar Editor; Literary and Dramatic Club ’25-’26; Vice-President of La Societe Francaise ’25-’26; Virginia Lit- erary Society ’23-’24; Athletic Associa- tion ’23-’24; Triangle Club ’22-’23. “Ginger,” one of our pretty lassies, came back to us from Stuart Hall in her Junior year. We flatter our- selves in thinking that she prefers P. H. S. to Stuart by coming back to graduate in good ole Pulaski Hi. “Nous l’aimons” especially a certain brave gentleman. [ 32 ] vincit- WALTER BRACK WYATT “B.B. “A merry heart makelh a cheery countenance. Athletic Editor; Suicide Club ’25- ' 26; Treasurer of Literary and Dramatic Club ' 25- ' 26; La Societe Francaise ’25- ’26; Baseball ’24-’25; Virginia Literary Society ’24-’25; Athletic Association ’23-’24. “B. B.” is one of our jolliest Seniors always ready for work or fun especially with the Suiciders of which he is a loyal member. He keeps an eye on his watch during classes as he is our “bell-boy.” Sometimes “B. B.” is spoken of as a “Farmer” but we would like to have a few more farmers like him. B. SHERWOOD VAUGHAN “ Sherry ” “ Her unselfishness has won for her many friends. Ad Editor; La Societe Francaise ’25-’26; Literary and Dramatic Club ’25-’26; Rapunzel Club ’24-’25; Virginia Lit- erary Society ’22- ' 23, ’23-’24. Sherwood just naturally belongs to us. She’s been with us since we started the struggle back in ’22 and was and is always ready for anything within human bounds. Keep some of that same spirit, “Sherry,” and watch the honors roll in. [331 LOUISE VALENTINE WHITT “Whitt” “ ’Tis good nature only wins the heart.” Ad Editor; Literary and Dramatic Club ’25-’26; Virginia Literary Society ’23- ’24, ’24-’25. Louise may have an aspiration to become an excellent student, but it isn’t her greatest aim in life. She is a definition of cheer and joy, being able to make us laugh more in a minute than a clown could in a week. Her whole interest lies in the name of Radford. BLANCHE LORA WHITAKER Jack” “7 am happy all the time, hut to be everyone’s jriend is just my one supreme dream. Club Editor; Literary and Dramatic Club ’25- ' 26; La Societe Francaise ' 25-’26; Virginia Literary Society ’23-’24. Blanche is a girl of few words but she is always ready to help us in any- thing we undertake. Although she is somewhat reserved she has a touch of humor and is usually telling a new joke. Indeed, we are proud to have her with us and we wish her success in the future years. [ 34 ] INEZ KEITH WEEKS “ Pigeon” “ Thy modesty is a candle to thy merit. Art Editor; Literary and Dramatic Club ’25-’26; La Societe Francaise ’25-’26; Rapunzel Club ’24-’25; Virginia Lit- erary Society ’22-’23, ’23-’ 24. Inez is noted for her ability to draw. You will notice this if you look care- fully at the drawings in the “Oriole.” At first she may seem a bit calm and reser ed but after getting acquainted with her you will find that she is al- ways ready for a good time. STEPHEN MARK LYON Bally” “ Pleasure fills my youthful years; Drop study ij it interferes. Circulation Manager of Oriole; Baseball Squad ’23-’ 24, ’24-’25; Football Squad ’23-’ 24, ’24-’25; Vice-President Mono- gram Club ' 23- ’24 ; Literary Society ’23-’ 24, ’24-’25; Literary and Dramatic Club ’25- ’26; Suicide Club ’25-’26. Junior spent the first half of this year seeking something (an educa- tion presumably) at Roanoke Hi, hence he drew an unusual blank at the top of the page. However, he lost no time renewing his old acquain- tances around his native soil — for proof see “Who’s Who.” CLASS HISTORY W HAT is the significance of the date, September 17, 1922? Yes, it sounds like Miss Thomas in History class. But it is far from it. If it were History it would go in one ear and out the other, whereas this date will be stamped forever on our minds as Seniors. Any of the Class of ’26 can tell you why it is important. It was the day on which fifty-two young ladies and gentle- men of the greatest intelligence, in their own opinion and no one else’s, entered the great halls of learning — the halls of Pulaski High School. They thought they knew quite a lot, but in the opinions of the upper classmen they were as green as the greenest of grasshoppers. Some time during the first day their air of bravado fled. They were informed that they were “rats.” It then dawned upon their blank minds that they would have to endure nine long months of “rathood” before they could pass out of this land of torture. They found out that when great peals of laughter issued from the Senior, Junior, and Sophomore rooms, it was usually caused by a teacher or someone else tell- ing about some of the unique answers the Freshmen had given to questions asked them. It was very trying. The first four months dragged by and then we began hearing the groaning and moaning of many students. When asked what disease they had, the only answer they gave was, “Exams.” We pictured some of the most terrible exams imaginable. Then the teachers be- gan talking about them. We were scared stiff and had night- mares for a week beforehand. When the monsters arrived they were no harder, if as hard, as our seventh grade exams had been. Afterwards our heads were held a little higher. So pass- ed the nine long months while we were Freshmen. Then, those who were so fortunate as to pass, became Sophomores. How important we thought we w ' ere. Our noses became highly elevated. It was now our privilege to taunt as we had been taunted. The poor Freshmen were the victims as usual, The year flew by, the monotony being broken now [ 36 ] and then by parties which were given us, and some which we gave others. Then all except a few passed their exams and we left the Sophomore room. Then, the Junior year — the year when we were supposed to put away childish thoughts and ways and become young ladies and ' gentlemen. But alas! we only seemed to have reached our second childhood. Such tricks as we played! We almost ob- tained the name of being the worst class in Hi, but we did get by with a great many things without getting a good lecture and a few hours after school. Again our friend — Exams — approach- ed and we all burned some midnight oil and did some hard studying. Next the greatest year of all. We were Seniors. How dig- nified we felt, yet we kept our dignity well hidden, so the teach- ers told us. We were preached at day in and day out about talking. Did it do any good? No, not until after exams. Then some decided that if we would talk less and study more, that we might come nearer passing on exams. We tried but had little success. Thus passed the sorrows and joys, trials and tribulations of the Senior year. Now we part. Some of us shake hands for the last time. We will follow our different paths in life, whatever they are. But whatever our tasks may be, let us not forget our Alma Mater and our classmates in P. H. S. Class of ’26, farewell. Ruth Jackson, ' 26. [ 37 ] p re ©ns © ' een I can see in the crystal so clear that smiling face of Dame Fortune as she waves her magic wand. Behold! A great brightness appeareth and Nature opens the gate to success and bids us step in — so that we might be aware of the revealing future. Shall 1 tell you a little about the magic scene which lies before me? It appears to be spring! early spring; oh! what happiness and joy! Spring need not be described in detail, for you all know spring — spring, the beginning of things. But a crowd of people, laughing and jeering, have assembled. What can this excitement be? A polo game. A graceful horse- woman riding by looks familiar, but who is it? Why it’s Lena Bones playing polo with the Prince of Wales. Behold! Thelma Bunts, a lady professor of French at Columbia. I wonder if she has studied in Paree? The lights brighten, and lo! Dame Fortune points to a musical career for Woodson Cummings. Ah! he’s a second Caruso surely. Who says there isn’t a fifty per cent raise at Macy’s this month, for look at the capable saleswomen clerking there. Lucille Byrd, Mary Boyd and Clara Nelson, with the knack of approaching and selling, are responsible for this raise. Oh! what a beautiful building up there backed against a sky-reaching mount. Ah! ’ tis a sanitarium managed by Dean Creger and Ansell Derrick, M. D’s. Slogan seen and quite consoling for sick patients, “Kill or Cure.” What is it George Crowder can’t do? But Dame Fortune seems to think that he can play baseball best. As pitcher, catcher or in any position he shines. Lie ' ll win the game or lose it. A trial — plaintiffs, defendants, jurors, judge, lawyers all, but the lawyer who won the case was Mary Draper, the ablest and most capable of her time. [ 38 ] In a picturesque little cottage on a dreamy lake lives a poet — a poet whom we all know. Who couldn’t help being in- spired to write something, living around such surroundings? Well, our poet and short story writer is Margaret Dyer. I can almost hear silvery strains of music floating from a Music Academy, where I see Mary Fitzhugh and Virginia Runion seated at a baby grand. They are famous musicians and composers. Now we see a ranch, a beautiful ranch in the western plains, tended by Judson Harris, where our “two-gun man” still holds his name, Judson being the best ranchman in the country. A desk, a typewriter, the old keys going click, click at top speed is kept in perpetual motion by Kathleen Hurst, stenog- rapher of Ford Company. But Kathleen isn’t satisfied, so climbs in to Secretary’s place. Two large Southern plantations, minus darkies picking- cotton, but filled with the latest improved methods and busily working machines. Two men strolling and giving advice, among the harvesters, both wearing large straw hats that shadow their smiling faces. ’Pon my word, it’s Walter Wyatt and Tom Jordan, our farmer boys. Ruth Jackson, although she is small, has a great work as historian. Artists! Who says we haven’t artists, for whether they’re drawing attention or drawing their breaths, David Kent and Inez Weeks are professionals along the drawing line. Smiling Margaret Kirkman, with market basket on arm, is seen purchasing meats, fruits and vegetables. Ho! she is not marketing for her mother; she has a home of her own. The scene is switched to St. Luke’s where we see a nurse — Lillian Lowman — who is superintendent. Pike Institute, the most noted school of the time, was es- tablished by Della and Lelia Pike, deserving sisters of ’26. With a smiling “Bon jour, mes enfants,” Kathryn Snapp takes her place before a smiling assembly of children. Oh! a kindergarten teacher, [ 39 ] Who is the man on the ship decorated with medals, etc? (mostly etc.) Yes, it’s Admiral Dewey, our Dewey Dalton. Meet the mayor of ’35 if you please — Hallie Swaim — who in- stigated the famous Swaim bill requiring all ladies to shave their hair. What! the African jungles. Who is the great grave hero, the hunter? William Thomas’s record is hard to keep. What a charming little shop on Fifth Avenue. There all the New York fashionables go to get Madam S. Vaughan’s latest decrees on fashion. Who are those two friendly, prosperous looking gentle- men? Hurst Owen and Carson Dalton, the great electric magnates, owners of the Western Electric Co. A familiar sight! Louise Whitt’s Ford now rounds the bend, chock full of smiling children and bottles. (’Tis needless to explain this, for Louise is community nurse of Pulaski county, much loved by all little folks, although she is frequent at giving her doses of castor-oil.) May baskets! Chock full of fruit from every land and cli- mate. Merry, laughing, happy shool kiddies bringing gifts of joy to their beloved teacher, our own Blanche Whitaker. The light grows dimmer as Frances Mullins appears. It grows darker, darker — the light is out — the rest remains to be seen. Frances Mullins.

[ 42 ] Class Poem ’ 26 When life is young and hope is new That ' s the time, schoolmates, for me and you. When faces are merry and eyes are bright, The whole creation is filled with light. Four years we have worked together here, And now the day has come, for each of us most dear: A day for which study and thought have paved the way — A day to be remembered with a smile when we ' re old and gray. During our companionship have been smiles and tears Mingled with joy and delight, at times perhaps shadowed with fears. Thru friendship and help we know each other better And in all ways we are each his schoolmate s debtor. Success calls and her first step has been climbed, For the others we ' ll each be timed; Let each of us follow with the rest And mount the Heights, with one accord, at our best. In leaving now we ' ll not be forgetting, And for some remaining friend each heart sighs regretting. But for us, dear friends, you have a smile, Hoping we ' ll have a life worth while. Let us remember one and all, Striving on toward the mighty call, When life is young and hope is new, That ' s the time, schoolmates, for me and you. Margaret Dyer, ' 26.

The name Freshmen suited us exactly. In the Sophomore Class we became a little more serious be- cause the lessons seemed a little harder. Last year three play- ers and a sub of the basketball team and one player of the foot- ball squad were in our class. Now we are Juniors and can see the time approaching when we will become Seniors. We rightly deserve the name Jolly ' Juniors as Mr. Eckman can testify. This term we have the same number of players on the basketball team and one more sub.s If you don’t believe our class has plenty of pep go to a basket- ball game or come into our class room. We do not have to boast, because our records show our achievements. We hope that when we become Seniors that we will not have to become too dignified because that would be our hardest task in our high school career. Mary Overton Smith, ' 27. [ 48 ] Class Poem We sprang up in the year of 1919 With our colors Blue and Gold; We are still here in 1926, Just as happy, cheerfid and true. Amid the taunts and jeers of others We have risen to honor and fame. Seniors, look out, we are coming, And we are going to set a day, If you have anything to say, say it And get out of the way. We are coming as a class, we re coming And we re going to win, For the energy and loyalty within Will surely bring us up. Last but not least is the faculty Of our grand old High School, Who have lived by us and taught us. Faculty, send forth the Seniors That we may take their stand, And when we graduate from this school We will show them something grand. Gray Baxter, ' 27.

By ancient tradition the Sophomores are supposed to be a quiet and well reserved tribe, which until the dawn of the modern era was the general rule. As times change, however, so the habits of the Sophomores change. Consequently, the Sophomore Class of ’26 does not abide by the ancient rule. The Class consists of artists, athletes, comedians, musicians’ and scholars, also those who are tardy and those who are al- ways on time. The Class is divided into two sections — A and B ; but the President, Vice-President, Secretary, and Treasurer are elected by both sections, with Miss Evelyn Finks as room teacher of A, and Miss Helen Stull room teacher of section B. We study English, Algebra, Biology, History, and Latin, which, of course, we master with ease, judging by the results which show a failure of only forty per cent. I say “only” be- cause that is a good percentage for a modern Sophomore. “We’re Sophomores now and we show our school spirit with a rah and a wow, We do our very best no matter when, nor how. For in two more years we will no longer be at old Pulaski Hi, But we will love her still as the years go by.” Violet Turpin , ’28.

H. S., having emerged from the dark ages of the grammar grades and entered upon our high school career, naturally feel our importance. Year by year we are struggling to reach those sublime heights when we shall be looked up to and respected as we look up to and respect our Seniors. We are gradually awakening to the meaning of the word study, which our noble teachers of the past have so firmly and faithfully attempted to impress upon our minds. The Freshman year is divided into two sections, one of which is pursuing a scientific course, the other a classical course. With the patient struggling of Miss Woodyard we are fast becoming able to talk Latin fluently. Miss Finks has the up- hill work of teaching us to speak correctly and find resting places in our minds for Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar.” Mrs. Cox’s x-y-z’s are much less interesting than cross-word puzzles, al- though 1 have heard they are more enlightening. Miss Thomas is truly a magician, weaving a spell about us so that at the ring- ing of the p eriod bell we are startled to find ourselves in the twentieth instead of the fifth century. Among the high lights of our teachers is Mr. Eckman, who inspires us to reason and study. The mid-term exams were passed with very few failures, and we hope to all join hands and pull the Sophomore grade together. Our Class is thoroughly interested in everything for the betterment of old P. H. S., furnishing a second team in basket- ball and several good football players. We are going at full speed with all four cylinders hitting. We know no law but progress, we know no rule but tun. “All aboard! Let’s go with the Freshman Class of P. H. S., for, if pep means Freshman, we’re it!” As we go the Sophs hold their breath, the Juniors faint, and the Seniors throw up then- hands in holy horror and cry, “The Peppy Freshman.” Nell Bowles, ' 2Q. [ 60 ] [ 61 ] AFTER THE BALL WAS OVER “Jane, please find your brother. This is the fourth time he has been late for dinner this week, and this is only the fourth day of this week!” sighed Mrs. Roth. “All love-sick shieks must be dressed, even though they de- lay the family dinner. He has a date with his queen tonight. He makes me sick — in love with a different girl every week and thinks his line would catch every girl in the world.” “Shut up. A lot you know about me or lines,” shrieked Bob in her ears as he slunk into his seat at the table. “Yes, Grandpa!” This type of conversation continued through the meal and afterwards Jane and Bob went up stairs to finish his dressing. “Sis, will you please come and hook me up? This darn suit doesn’t fit at all.” “I guess your fond Margaret hasn’t seen you in that rig. It’s a shout!” “Aw, quit laughing. I know it’s awful, but we’ll have masques.” Jane, as a younger sister to this decidedly collegiate youth, suffered much from his superiority. She was a mere child to him and he regarded her youthful friends disdainfully, for he thought himself quite old and sophisticated. Jane decided she knew lots more than Bob thought. On overhearing a tele- phone conversation Jane had learned that Margaret was going as a ballet dancer with Bob as her Pierrot escort to the mas- querade, and that Bob was to call for Margaret at a quarter to nine. After looking appraisingly at himself for about a dozen times, Bob started to the garage, feeling confident that a girl like Margaret would surely fall for a line like his. But Jane, in the afternoon, had untwisted a wire that would delay Bob and allow her a few minutes. As soon as she heard Bob leave the room she ran to her closet, dragged out a gorgeous silver costume and hustled into it. Hiding it under a long black cape, she ran down the walk to the tune of the unpleasant things Bob was saying to the old bus. Arriving at Margaret’s yard she waited a minute until she heard a mysterious whistle from a tree a little distance from her. She ran over to it and a Pierrot [ 62 ] jumped from it. This was one of her friends who was helping her by taking Margaret and she was going with Bob in Margaret’s place. On hearing a honk at the gate, Jane whispered a few words to the Pierrot and hurried down to the car. “Oh! she looks more alluring then ever, the light of my lowly existence,” sighed Bob as he assisted her into the car. She gave him a coy glance, and drawling in imitation of Marge, cooed, “You dreat big booful mans looks so handsome.” When they arrived the floor was already full of clowns, Spanish dancers and weirdly dressed beings that would be hard to class. Whispers were heard from the stag line of, “Who is that?” “What a knockout!” and in a minute all were cutting in on the charming couple. Bob was her devoted slave all evening and inwardly cussed himself for not “discovering” her sooner. Why, she was de- cidely all there from the top of her brown hair to the tip of her tiny foot. Why couldn’t the other fellows let her alone and let him have her to himself? During intermission he took her out on a balcony and started “his stuff,” raving about her beau-t-i-f-u-1 hair and her lovely eyes, and begging forgiveness for his dumbness while she was so worldly-wise and so much above him. During all this she looked indifferent and disdainful. Inwardly she laughed at the sophisticated Bob but couldn’t help but be pleased with all these compliments. Occasionally she would add, “You’ll learn better, dear,” or “You’ve said that to other girls.” Looking at her with soulful eyes he softly quoted: “My love for you is like a growing flow’r, That waxes stronger hour by hour.” Though Jane wanted to squelch that awful brother of hers for this she sighed, kissed him lightly on his cheek and ran into the house. When he went back into the room they were beginning to unmask, but there was no sign of the ballet dancer. You can imagine Bob Roth’s surprise on discovering that the little ballet dancer in pink was Margaret Barham to whom he had paid no attention. [ 63 ] “Gosh! This is tough,” grunted Bob, and sauntering over to her, “’Lo, Marge.” “Well, you’ve been a wonderful escort; been following that silver snake all evening and haven’t even noticed me.” They rode home in silence. Marge was too furious to speak and Bob was wondering who in the dickens the girl could have been. Why had she left? Where had she gone? Would he see her again? Passing Jane’s door he heard her call, “Have a good time, Bob?” “Rotten enough.” “How do you like Margaret?” “Oh, she’s not so hot. There was one girl there that was a ‘knockout’,” and he began a long account of the silver ballet dancer. You can imagine the expression on Bob’s face when this self-same ballet dancer appeared at the door and softly cooed, “My love for you is like a growing flow’r, that waxes stronger hour by hour.” Mary Fitzhugh, ' 26. [ 64 ] ESSAY ON IMAGINATION Imagination is that part of the mind divided apart from intuition, memory and reason. Like intuition it is given par- tially, unlike memory it requires no former occurrence for exist- ence, and like reason, can be developed for both pleasure and necessity. Like most all else, imagination has its advantages and disadvantages. Taken separately perhaps the former over- balances the latter. As a divine gift to poets it has given men pleasure and recreation through its wondrous power of beauty conception or beauty beyond ordinary conception. As an in- centive to explorers it has lead them on to lands before unseen by man. As a hope to inventors it has given us both comfort and convenience. As an instigator to liberators it has produced freedom, and as result of its combination with reason success has followed. To weakened minds it has brought visions of empire, conquest and self glorification, which in reality means downfall. To idealists it has brought dreams which unhappily ended in disappointment. To suspicion it has added misunder- standing, anger and hate. Its combination with evil results in crime. Balance the good with the bad and most assuredly the result is favorable for the former. Question yourself, where would be music, art, literature, comfort and achievement without their brother “imagination.” Margaret Ewing Dyer, ’26. [ 65 ] SPRING ! Spring! Just the word suggests wee buds, warm winds, questioning cries of birds; all of this added to the shouts and game of Youth. Tender buds peep shyly at the world outside and birds fly gleefully from branch to branch. A spring morning is sweet and joyous, on whose soft wind the merry songs of birds float mingled with the fresh fragrance of new grass and flowers. Springtime is love-time, dream-time and time of laughter. Each tiny fairy in each flower peeps its dainty head from the heart of its home, spreads its rainbow wings and flies from flower to flower to give the happy cry of Spring to all. The sky is a tender, smiling blue — not laughing yet. It i ' s too shy for that, you see — -a laughing sky belongs to summer time, but spring-time is too young. The forest brooks flow with purling, bubbling sound, singing in bell-like tones their song of spring. The trees in their gay green dresses, like children who have tired of their finery, are happy to be free from their glitter- ing, restrained winter garments. Oh, Spring, with your life, love, joy, and laughter, who can resist you? A bubble of your fountain rises joyously in the golden, springtime sunlight. Even the stars are more friendly and the moon less mournful when Spring-time sounds her clarion! [ 66 ] When you ' re walking down the highway of life, Your clothes all ragged and thin, Don ' t get disheartened and ruin your sold, For there ' s another chance to begin. For just as I look down the highway of life, I see the turn of the curve, A nd I see the men who have found success, A nd the men who have lost their nerve. Don ' t think of the days gone by, Of the happy days you spent; Don ' t think of those big shining dollars, When you ' re down to your last red cent. Just look into the future and say you ' ll See it through — Let nothing cross your pathway that you Won ' t try to do. If you have a thing to say, say it — Do not hesitate; If you have an enemy like him — Forget the word called hate. But above all things help your fellowmen, And those who are in need, For if you want to do a noble thing there Is no higher deed. And you have read in the Good Book just What it means to sin — A nd the Lord is in the heart of those who Love their fellowmen. Foy Aust, ’29. [ 67 ] That Tired Feeling The days have come for wasting time, The spring is now at hand; The sleepy dreamy haze Hangs soft o ' er all the land. I ' d rather sit upon the grass, Beneath a shady tree, Than bother over stupid books That greatly tire me. I cannot think, I cannot work, I only want to rest; Just keeping absolutely still Is all that I request. Colleen Seagle, ’ 28 . [ 68 ] P. H. S. Boys and girls of P. II. S., Let this our motto he, To give to her our very best, For all our deeds she ' ll see. Let ' s back our school in everything, Be always there with pep, Whenever work has to be done Let ' s fall right into step. Years may come, and they must go, Our duty we ' ll ne ' er slack, But live up to the high ideals Of our colors, the Orange and Black. Mildred Brown Hall, ' 28. Our Teachers There ' s gladness in their gladness When they ' re glad, There ' s sadness in their sadness When they ' re sad; But the gladness of their gladness And the sadness of their sadness Is nothing to their madness When they ' re mad. Mildred Hall, ' 27. [ 69 ] ETIQUETTE IN THE CLASSROOM 1. When the final class bell rings for lunch, rush at full speed to a place in line. If the girl in front is not good-looking you are at perfect liberty to stand in front of her. 2. If you inadvertently drop a bee down some person’s neck, the most polite thing to do is run at full speed. 3. Drop all waste papers on the floor, as it is more convenient. 4. If you lose your pencil, kindly take one from your nearest neighbor. 5. Talk of the latest murder, how you love mice and snakes. The last named makes very interesting conversation if ladies are present. 6. Teach others how to pass tests without studying; in other words, the art of copying from a book and getting it correctly. 7. Before leaving the classroom be sure and remove your chew- ing gum from under the desk, as Miss Thomas likes only the fresh kind. These rules, if carefully followed, will cause you to be known as a “well-bred” student of P. H. S. Margaret Kirkman, ' 26. [ 70 ] [ 71 ] [ 72 ] LA SOCIETE FRANCAISE LES OFF I TIERS THELMA BUNTS..

The next game was with Radford. This was an easy victory as can be seen by the score, 48-4. Then came the game between the girls and the faculty. In order to make the game interesting we put a com- bination of girls and teachers on each team and called them “Bloomers” and “Trousers” — designating each by their uni- forms. The game ended in victory for the “Trousers.” Our next game was in Salem. This was the only game we lost dur- ing the season. The score was 13-7. On February 12th we played Bluefield, West Virginia. This was one of the most one-sided games we played, the score being 35-2 in our favor. One of our fastest games was played with Salem, February 19th. Both teams played well, but we won by a score of 24-8. This made a tie between Salem and Pulaski, so the teams met again February 25th, which ended in a victory for us. We then play- ed Bristol (Virginia) for the championship of this district, February 27th, and won by an easy margin of 40-13. March 9th we went to Rocky Mount. The score was 30-10 in our favor, giving us the championship of Southwest Virginia. Then came the championship game of the State played in Pulaski, March 15, with Waynesboro, who had won out in eastern Virginia. Both sides played well, but Pulaski out-played their opponents and won by a score of 20-9. This made us champions of Virginia. We also received the honor of being asked to play in the Nation- al Tournament in Ohio. We lose three of our squad next year, but notwithstanding this heavy loss we are looking forward to a good record next session .

Reporters: Woodson Cummings, Chas. Gatewood, Hurst Owen NEW CLUB IS ORGANIZED Have you heard of the Boosters? Yes. but you want to know all about them, now admit it, don ' t you? Well herein doth lie the whole history of the Boosters and their cl ub. Not so many days ago the Seniors, aided by Miss Thomas, decided that more in- terest and enthusiasm concerning the “Oriole was badly needed. After much discussio n the idea of having a Booster Club was agreed upon. That is how this new club came into being. In order to carry out the work and decide upon some definite plan of advance (to use the words of honorable Caesar) five committees were selected which are — the school, art, pub- licity, literary and speakers, each with its own individual purpose. From the school committee the plan of Booster Week was marked out. The combination of the publicity and art committees produced our posters, the efforts of the literary com- mittee result in The Tattler,” while through the speaker ' s committee several representatives have appeared before var- ious clubs of the city. These Boosters are attempting to produce a bigger and better Oriole. You want a good annual and so do we; we are doing our part and you will do yours, Hi, so let ' s all pull together and help each other — then the result will spell SUC- CESS. HEE-HAWS Billy H. — How do you get so many girls? Chick K. — Oh! 1 just sprinkle a little gasoline on my handkerchief. NOTE TO MISS WOODYAR1) “Dear teacher, kindly excuse my son ' s absence yesterday. He fell in the mud. By doing same you will greatly oblige his mother. Mr. Eckman (to Freshie during Science exams; Freshie is not writing but sitting idly) — Why aren ' t you writing? Freshie — I ain’t got no pen. Mr. Eckman — Where’s you grammar? Freshie — She’s dead. H= He He MYSTERY IS SOLVED The mystery has been solved. We are both thankful and relieved that it was not a terrible, blood curdling one, but one of pleasure and delight. The Boosters are certainly workers of the mystic as their Booster Week showed. Oriole says: “I am perfectly delighted at the interest you have shown in me; for ages I’ve longed for nil you students at dear ole P. H. S. to really like me and help me to be my best. This of course is impossible unless everyone is willing to help. Do you know when just one person doesn’t think anything about me and doesn’t care, why it hurts terribly. Please let me thank you, oh! so much, for all you are doing. Yes sir, we are surely going to back Oriole, BASKETBALL Faculty-Alumnae vs. P. H. S. For benefit of “The Oriole,’’ Pulaski’s High School Annual, under the auspices of Senior Class of ’26, the Faculty-Alumnae have dared to play the fast High School Regulars on Parish House Courts, Friday night at 7.30 p. m. The probable line-up for our venture- some opponents will be: Misses Finks, Thomas, Greene, Moore, Hurley, Daugh- erty, Tucker, K. Frye, Moyers and M. Painter. For the alumnae Polly Bopp, the speedy center of ' 24, and Ethel Nunn, of ' 25. Come see P. Cecil, Mullins, Dyer, M. Bopp, Capt. Gilmer. T. Cecil and Bones as regulars compete with our fair teachers and friends of alumnae. This game is a part of campaign of Booster Week in P. H. S. toward financing “The Oriole.’’ Every basketball fan should not miss this spectacular event. Remember Friday night. Parish House, at 7.30 prompt. BOOSTERS SEND REPRESENTATI VES TO CLUBS Dean Creger Sent Dean Creger was sent as representative from the Booster Club to the Rotary Club Monday night to put the subject of Booster Week before them and ask for their sup- port. This was brought about in a very persistent manner and all the men showed a spirit as if they were school pupils them- selves. Great enthusi asm was shown and they were glad to help us in any way pos- sible. Several ads were given by different business men and it is hoped that more can be gotten. They also appointed Mr. Knapp to come over and speak on “School Spirit’’ during the program in the High School auditorium at 2.30 p. m., Friday. The enthusiasm and “boosting spirit” from this club is accepted by a very thank- ful and appreciative class. Selection, Midnight Serenaders. Kathleen Hurst Speaks to Woman’s Club The Senior Class sent Kathleen Hurst and Margaret Kirkman as representatives to the Woman’s Club Monday afternoon to explain Booster Week, in the school. In the short talk made by Kathleen the object, main points and the hoped for re- sults were explained. The club seemed very much in favor of boosting “The Oriole” as much as possible and said they would back up all plays and the like which the class or school should put on. This co-operation coming from the Woman’s Club is greatly appreciated by the Senior Class and all those concerned in Booster Week. Margaret Kirkman Speaks to Kiwanis Club The Kiwanis greeted very cordially two representatives, Margaret Kirkman and Kathleen Hurst at their business meeting held Thursday night in the Pulaski Nation- al Bank Building. Their mission was to explain Booster Week and to ask for their hearty co-operation and support in making “The Oriole” one grand success. After the talks were made several men responded by giving ads to help finance “The Oriole” which is greatly appreciated by the entire “Oriole” staff.

A MISTAKE OF MANY Rose Neil, formerly a Pulaski High School student and a resident of Pulaski, had returned for a short visit with friends, not having been here for several consecu- tive years. She had moved with her parents shortly after her graduation; so, she had completely lost all connection with her beloved Pulaski Hi. Rose ' s friends had graduated, also gone to college, consequently knew nothing of their Alma Mater, so naturally they were unable to send any news to Rose, who had finished her last semester. “My, what a change,” she exclaimed as she . stepped off the train. “Could I be getting off at the wrong station, ’’she thought. “No, this was Pulaski, but not the Pulaski she had known several years ago. Her friends greeted her and question after question wound its course to school affairs — “Say, Rose, guess the surprise, her chum eagerly teased. “Can’t you? P. H. S. has an annual, “The Oriole,” and it was given honorable mention at the Chicago Art Exhibit and they say its to be better this year than ever before and will probably take the prize. Just think! They’re overflowing with school spirit; the Seniors have organized a Booster Club, and my! they surely know how to boost too. “Let’s go over and congratulate them, sang a chorus of merry pals. THOUGHT FOR TODAY How many of the readers are just as surprised as the new comer? How many know enough about our “Oriole” to tell a new comer? Don’t get rusty on the news of your own school. Come on, and show a little school pep. HI-ETTS Subscriptions for the “Oriole” are now being taken. All those wishing to subscribe please see one of the Seniors. Whew! now that exams are over we can at last draw a breath of relief, can’t we. Hi? Hi is so sorry that the mean ole steam had to go and burn you, Robley, and we hope you will be back with us right away. Don’t forget the game tonight. Votes for the “Who’s Who” have been counted by three hard working and very mathematical students. They keep their mouths tightly closed concerning the re- sults. So look for them in the “Oriole.” [ 108 ] Established nr ft 0 nr 1 1 1 0 1 Published by January 1926 VL? if K VLU ix i i i k i The Seniors Volume One PULASKI HIGH SCHOOL, JANUARY 29, 1926 Number Two STAFF OF TATTLER Editor Margaret Dyer Assistants: Frances Mullins, Mary Draper, Ruth Jackson, Lillian Lowman.

RECEIVES INVITATION Of course by now everyone has heard about the champion team’s invitation to play in the National Tournament held this year at Youngstown, Ohio. This came as a wonderful surprise and equally great opportunity for P. H. S. The ex- penses would of course be pretty heavy, the team being required to furnish railroad tare and Youngstown furnishes entertain- ment. Surely this is the greatest honor that has ever come to dear Ole Hi, and some- thing that Pulaski and Southwest Virginia have to be mighty proud of. So let’s not let this slip by. With everyone backing us why shouldn’t we go into that trournament with the same determination and courage that has car- ried us through many games victoriously, then make a record up there? With a VA proudly written upon each jersey, we’ll play as we ' ve never played before. An- swer this question, Who couldn’t play basketball when they are representing good ole Virginia, Southwest Virginia, Pu- laski and our own Hi? Many enthusiasts have already given liberal amounts for the team which are deeply appreciated. The girls aided by the boys are eagerly working to put this opportunity across, so come on everybody and let’s put Pulaski on the map and keep it there. ’26 BY HECK When ole ’26 rolls around, Ve re going to put out feet on the ground; 25 was good and better still. But ’26 huh — you’ll have to take a pill, by heck. W e ve boosted and boosted and boosted and yelled. We 11 put all the other schools down in the dell; They all will say, yes, ves, yes. Hurrah for P. H. S., by heck. Seniors think that they come first, But Freshies make them die of thirst; Juniors think that they come next, But everybody’s good — by heck. Our school? You know it’s best — Seniors, Juniors, Sophs and Freshies, they never rest; We 11 boost and boost ’till we have to roost; Our annual will get the crest, by heck. Out little Oriole will sing for us, It will do its best, ’twill never rust; And if 1926 isn’t the best, well — We’ll all bust, by heck. — Mozelle Dalton. ENGLISH To make our “Oriole” a great success, We each and all must do our best. Go on and strive with all our might To try, to gain, to win the fight. Please don’t think that I am a fool Because I say “P. H. S.” is a fine old school. The “Oriole” is the best book of all. We must hold it up and never let it fall. We are going to make a complete success Of our “Oriole” of ’26, Seniors, Juniors, Sophies fine, If we survive the time. Our glorious time will come in grand old ’29. — Violet Kersey. Familiar Snatches of Conversation Heard in and Around Hi this Week “I’m thrilled to death; honest I can’t believe it’s really true. Oh! wc must go. Just think everybody will hear about Pu- laski and P. II. S. You know wc must do our best and if we go to Youngstown bring back the same record we took with us.” “Believe me, they played ball; aren’t wc the stuff winning the State Champion- ship?” Heavens! those hair cuts; they look ex- actly like convicts; of course I don’t mean their expressions. Nerve — well they haveit.” “Can you help type the ads today; the “Oriole” goes to press Monday.” “Demerits! How silly; the very idea. I know I ' ll get about a million. Who on earth suggested such a crazy idea for P. H. S. — goodness.” “Can anybody draw this figure? I simply cannot get this proposition.” “I know it; she told me to stop talking and I wasn ' t saying a word.” “Just because I didn’t quite know all that memory work on Hamlet is no sign that I should be called down in such a manner.” “Oh, me! I’m tired to death and that awful pain in the back of my head.” “Pass such a test — honest, I didn’t know a thing.” “The grandest food you ever ate. The Rotarians surely were nice to think about asking us.’’ “Heck! Another mistake — hit E for R. Somebody lend me an eraser before Miss Woodruff comes in here.” A P. H. S. COASTING PARTY O. what’s more fun than a coasting partv With girls and boys of Pulaski High School. Lessons all learned we can greet each other hearty . No. not a thought of a book nor a rule. Down the hill we go; each one has a sled Merry shouts of laughter now fill the air. LTp the hill we go, the fire burns red. It’s just all fun, for we have not a care. “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” A very true saying we are sure, But, combine the two, we’ve a school to enjoy. And P. H. S. is bound to stand and endure. — Mary Eagle Cecil, Junior. SHE’S A LITTLE BEAUTY I’m simply wild about her, Gee, she rates about ninety-nine per. Honest, she’s the prettiest thing I’ve ever seen. But gosh! All the other fellows about her seem just as keen. I stand off and look at her in a daze. I think, for you how I ' d work for that raise, you’re so polished, neat and trim, but with you chances for a guy like me are slim. To ask to take you out once I wish I could dare. Wouldn’t the people turn and stare? Today as I walk sadly by you I turn and longingly watch you from afar. When courage comes to me and gritting my teeth I loudly cry — “Heck it all ; why can’t you be my new car?” HI-ETTS “Just think, invited to be in the National Tournament.” These words are on all our lips. Oh! let’s work like everything and then go up there and PLAY. How those typewriters click. “Oriole” grows bigger and bigger each day. Miss Finks, we missed you Monday and Tuesday. So glad when you came back; your voice is gladly heard, even if it is a bit throaty at present. Seen roaming around the halls of Hi, several strange looking individuals who must have had the misfortune of becoming parted from their wigs. Miss Frye, we command you to make the “flu flee and fly straight back to Hi. The highest record made by anyone in typewriting belongs to Hurst Owen, who handed in forty exercises in one week. If you don’t think that was hard try and do it. Coming soon! A P. H. S. play. Every- body get interested. It will be a frolic for you. At last we have found out who Miss Woodruff’s “Hampton” is. This much- spoken-of person turns out to be a place — Hampton Roads. We don’t know just why she is particularly interested in that location, but we might guess. Right here and now, the basket ball girls would like to thank Mr. Kirchner for set- ting us up after the last game. Those drinks were good and we enjoyed ’em. Also all those who attended the Rotary luncheon wish to express their sincere ap- preciation for such an enjoyable occasion. INTRODUCTION OF THE TEACHERS (Miss Lillian Woodyard) Miss Woodyard has won a place in the hearts of all the students of Ole Hi, al- though this is her first year with us. She is a graduate of Westhampton and teaches Latin at P. H. S. Her third and fourth year Latin classes are small, but that doesn’t mean she is not known to the rest of those classes. If you don’t believe this you should be in her Senior study period for a little while. ■t |c i| INTRODUCTION OF SENIORS William Thomas — Let us introduce you to Bill Thomas, one of the most valuable assets of our room. Bill isn’t one of those “A” students, but what does that matter? He manages to pull through and has lots of friends to boot. Bill has been very successful in what little business life he has taken part in, such as getting ads for the “Oriole.” The way he has started he will get somehwere before he quits. Frances Mullins — “Who’s that com- ing down the street looking so very petite?” Yes, that’s Frances. You’ll know her the second time you see her too, ’cause “Frankie’s” face is one of the kind that always remains in one’s memory. Her good looks are not all she possesses, however. She is gifted with a remarkable ability to play the piano — and you just bet she can play basketball too. Hallie Swaim— Hallie just arrived this year, but she has lost no time making friends. Everyone who meets “Hal” likes her from the start. She has a person- ality that attracts and this personality has played havoc in the hearts of many in school — and also in the town. We hear that Hallie is a great lover of “Pierce- Arrows.” How about it, Hallie? 1111] Charlie Gatewood — Miss Woodyard, there is one thing I want to know. Miss Woodyard — What? Charlie — Who waters the bulbs at the electric light plant? Miss Stull (making off report cards) — I had to squeeze some of you to a “B.” “Buck” Crowder (in back of the room) — Yes, she liked to have squeezed me to death. Stranger- — Didn’t you find your dime, little boy? Hurst Owen — Naw, but me kid brudder foun’ it. Stranger — Then what are you looking for? Hurst — Me kid brudder. =H Walter W. — Are you going to the fair? Lena B. — What fair? Walter — The paper says, “Fair here today and tomorrow.” Mont. Chumbley — Gimme a kiss. Kat Dudley— I’ll give you a kick. Mont. — Fine; what’s a kiss without a kick? Wesley Johnson (newsboy) — Great mystery, fifty victims! Mr. Brugh — Here, boy, I’ll take one. (After reading a moment) — Say, boy, there’s .nothing of the kind in this paper; where is it? Wesley — That’s the mastery, Professor; you’re the 51st victim. Miss Finks- — I have went — that’s wrong, isn’t it? Lavy Gray — Yes, ma’am. Miss Finks — Why? Lavy Gray — Because you ain’t went yet. Mary Draper — Where ya’ going? Mary Fitzhugh — Down to the pawn shop to see what time it is. Mary D. — Why the pawn shop? Mary F. — My watch is there. [ 112 ] Gladys L. (in music shop) — Have you got “Just One More Kiss?” (He gave it to her.) Ralph — -Women are not what they used to be. Jack — Well no, they used to be girls. Mrs. Cox— Bisect this line. Mabel — Into how many parts? Judson Harris — What’s your idea of a smart girl? T. Dalton — One who can make her complexion taste as good as it looks. =t= Sadie Brinkley — Oh, I do wish I could sing. Margaret Spraker — I do, too, if you are going to keep on trying. Lucille Byrd — May I go have a hair cut? Miss Thomas — What, during school? Lucille — Sure, it grew in school, didn’t it? “You surely are fresh,” said the hen as she laid the egg. LEST WE FORGET That Bill Thomas talks and talks, and having said nothing says it all over again. That Bud Crockett sprained his arm patting himself on the back. Mr. Brugh — Miss Thomas, what is that knot on your head about? Miss Thomas — That’s where a thought struck me. Mr. Brugh — Margaret, Miss Thomas says you were late again this morning. Margaret Dyer — That’s all right, Mr. Brugh, I know you are too intelligent to be influenced by what she says. Miss Thomas — Margaret, tell me what interests you most during my talk. M. Kirkman (reading a letter) — Ernest Lewey. [ 113 ] Miss Thomas — Who can name one important thing we have now that we did not have one hundred years ago? George Phelps — Me. Georgia Pack — What is an island? Ruby Crockett — A piece of water. Hi Hs He Wilbur Lewey — What does “ignorance” mean? Sidney Steger — You just made an experiment of it. Mr. Eckman (in chemistry class) — Lucille, what is “aqua fortis?” Now your Latin comes in handy. Lucille Byrd — But I didn’t have any Latin. Mary Smith — What is your new brother’s name, Ruth? Ruth Snapp — I don’t know yet. We can’t understand a word he says. H= Woodson Cummings — If you were standing on a dime how would you resemble Woolworth? Walter Wyatt — I’ll bite — why? Woodson — Nothing over ten cents. Miss Stull — Is there any connecting link between the animal and the vegetable kingdom? Ed Surface — Yes, ma’am, hash. Hazel Reese — “Dick” was almost drowned last night. Agnes G. — How come? Hazel — The pillow slipped, the bed spread and he fell into the spring. Mr. Eckman (in chemistry class) — Which would weigh more, a bee hive with 7 bees or one with 35? Louise Whitt — It is according to the size of the bees. Albert Carpenter — Having any luck in school this year? Charlotte Board — I should say so. Somebody swiped my Latin book. [ H4l Sherwood Vaughan — What are you doing for a living? C leorge Su m mers — B reathing . Mr. Eckman — What is the use of hydrogen? Wiley Cave — It’s a reducing agent. Anna Cecil — I think I’ll take some. Thelma Bunts — Mary, we are going to have an oral exam on French tomorrow. Mary Boyd — Is it going to be written? Judson Harris — For two cents I would kiss you. Hallie Swaim — Got change for a nickel? Miss Woodyard — Why do we speak of ghosts in Latin? Margaret Kirkman— Because Latin is a dead language. =t= Mary Draper — You know last year the doctor told me if I didn’t stop dancing I’d be feeble-minded. “Bill” Thomas — Well, why didn’t you stop? Miss Stull — May I try that dress on in the window?- Salesman — Sorry, but you’ll have to use the dressing room. Mr. Eckman — What can you tell me about nitrates? Dean Creger — Well-er, they’re a lot cheaper than day rates. Miss Finks — blow does the thief in this story differ from others? Flossie Nowlin — Well, he’s honest. Tom Jordan — Have you read Darwin’s “The Origin of the Species?” Charles Gatewood — No, I haven’t. Tom — You ought to; it will make a man out of you. Catherine Dudley — You raised your hat to that girl you passed. You don’t know her, do you? John Crowder — No, but my brother does and this is his hat. [ 115 ] Miss Woodruff — My night class are little angels. Cecil Bosang — Yes, with horns. She — And knowing my sentiments on the subject, did that odious Tecumseh insult you by offering you a drink? George Crowder — -That’s what he did. She — And how did you resent it? George (meekly) — I swallowed the insult. John Calfee — This food isn’t fit for a pig to eat. Waiter — Then don’t eat it, sir. A GRAVE MISTAKE Charlie Gatewood — Hello! I want to order a box for to- morrow. At the other end — What size? “There will be six of us in the party.” “But they only come in single sizes; we’ll have to have it made special.” “Is this the Dalton Theatre?” “No, this is the undertaker.” Hilda- — I went to see the new play last night. Colleen — Full of ideas, isn’t it? Hilda — Yes, I noticed a skirt of lace cross-gored, a coat in a new shade of grey, and an orange tunic decorated with green spots. Marvin- — The ancients considered the liver the seat of affection. Bud — Yes, and now it’s the knee. Miss Thomas had been impressing upon her pupils the dire fate of Tyre and Sidon, after which she inaugurated a cross- examination. “What became of Sidon?” she asked Patrick O’Dell. “It was destroyed,” answered Patrick. “And what became of Tyre.” Patrick hesitated and then replied decisively: “Punctured.” [ 116 ] “George,” murmured the sweet young girl as she nestled close to him, “cigars are nothing but a habit.” “Yes, and you’ve succeeded in breaking one of my habits,” said George as he took the remains of an Havana from his waistcoat pocket. Kathleen Hurst — Why do you wear sideburns? Bill Stull— It only takes one-half as long to shave. Ethel Lyons — I heard that Gillie kissed Bud right in public. Virginia Duncan — Did you ever! Ethel — No. Freshie — Mr. Brugh, how old are you? Mr. Brugh — I have seen thirty summers. Freshie — Mr. Brugh, how many summers have you been blind? Miss Thomas (at desk during exam) — I wish some one would suggest a way of keeping you pupils away from this desk with all these needless questions. Dean Creger — Eat onions. Colleen Seagle — I like your cigarette holder. Woodson Cummings — Why I never use one. Colleen — Please don’t be so dense. Miss Stull (in biology class) — Can anyone in the class name something that grows without sunlight? Mildred Hall — An egg. Mother — Sonny, why are you crying? H. Dewey — I am not crying, I’m irrigating my eye lashes. Miss Thomas — What are the two kinds of democracy? Dean Creger — Pure and representative. Miss Thomas — Can you think of any place in U. S. that has a pure democracy? Dean Creger — Switzerland has. [ 117 ] Kathryn Snapp — Stop that man, he wanted to kiss me! Cop — That’s all right miss, there’ll be another one along in a minute. Bill Thomas — Anybody in here got any glue? Carson Dalton (brightly) — 1 got a safety pin. Bill — I’m afraid you need that. Tim Cecil — 1 have absolutely nothing to wear. Kat Dudley — Well put it on and let’s go. Margaret Dyer — I think the Charleston is awful. Frances Mullins — I can’t learn it either. Rachella Scott — Let’s do something odd, something ec- centric. Virginia Duncan — All right, let’s go down to Seagle’s and hunt for gum under the tables. Bill Thomas — Say, did you know that you can get a good ch ' cken dinner for ten cents down town. Bud Crockett — Where? Bill — -At the feed store. Jack Shuff — I paid my fourth visit to the beauty shop today. Julian Groseclose — Strange you can’t get waited on. Dr. Draper — Duane, why is it that you are always at the bottom of the class? Duane — It doesn’t make any difference, daddy; they teach the same things at both ends. Wilbur — -What would you say if I were to throw you a kiss? Sadie 1 — I’d say you were the laziest boy I ever met. “Mabel, you grow more beautiful every day.” “Oh, Jack, you do exaggerate.” “Well, then every other day.” [ 118 ] Gillie — Remember when we first met in the revolving door at the bank? Billie — But that wasn’t the first time we met. Gillie — Well, that was when we began going around to- gether. First student to second — Oh, shut up, you are the biggest fool I ever saw. Prof. — Boys, boys, don’t forget I’m still in the room. Miss Finks — Tom, name the seasons. Tom — Pepper, salt, vinegar and mustard. New boy — I h’ave been introduced to Mabel Brinkley. Bud Crockett — What did she say? New boy — Nothing. Bud — Well, it wasn’t Mabel. Advice to students taking history: Eat tomatoes and ketchup. Mr. Eckman — Class, is there really fire in the body? Smart boy — Why, yes, you can see the smoke on a cold day. John Crowder — What makes the leaves turn red in the fall? Mont. Chumbley — They are blushing to think how green they have been all summer. Teacher — Why is a well-ordered school room like a Ford? Freshie — Easy; the crank’s in front. Teacher — And all the nuts are in their proper places. Sam Pillsbury — How long can a man live without brains? Gillie Groseclose — You ought to know. Bobby Harris (on seeing Judson march in with the gradu- ating class) — Oh, look, mamma! Judson’s got a gown like grandma’s! [ 119 ] TRUE ODDITIES, EH WHAT? Americans cannot sing with their mouths closed. People are now Avearing shoes for the purpose of covering their feet. There are lots of birds that can’t fly but continuously chirp. Packards, Fords, etc., do not give out of gas until the tank becomes empty. The French do not eat sliced oranges with vinegar and salt. Few people snore except when rendered unconscious by sleep or otherwise. It takes the same amount of time to look at your watch at six o’clock as seven. Australians do not eat spaghetti while attending the opera. Statistics sho r that for the last five years most people go through their front doors for the purpose of getting in or out of doors. While walking down a crowded thoroughfare the Londoners do not loudly proclaim their name, age and address. Few persons having attained the age of ninety are seen cheAving gum and eating lollypops. As a rule Congressmen do not play hopscotch on ice skates. Russians are iioav going up stairs for the purpose of reach- ing an upper floor. Very polite young gentlemen do not wash their faces AA ' hile out driving with a young lady. Few persons enjoy walking while riding in their automobiles. People everyAvhere use the same method for breathing — in- haling and exhaling. Eskimos do not wear ear rings on their fingers or toes. All species of fish sAvim, especially in Avater. Bricklayers do not wind their clocks while in swimming. Demerits are not eagerly sought after by the inmates of P. H. S. between the ages of thirteen and thirty teen. This nonsense Avill not continue on through another mil- lenium of pages but will cease henceforth and immediately. M. E. D. P. S. — “Craziness” does not spell “funny” nor does “ab- surdity” spell “laugh.” [ 120 ] [121J 123] 1) ix- Richardson Company Incorporated WHOLESALE DRY GOODS AND NOTIONS PULASKI, VA.

It comes to men and women who have chosen a worthy goal and who have worked per- sistently toward that goal.

The landlord can always raise the rent but sometimes you can’t. Lots of people ride about in auto- mobiles that can’t afford to. No- body owns a home that can’t afford it. First the home, and then the little red school house, then more homes — that’s Uncle Sam’s idea and we are proud of it.
