Tyler, Presi- dent Emeritus of William and Mary College, and son of the late John Tyler, ex-President of the United States.) AN ERA OF ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY YEARS 1776-1926 NE HUNDRED AND FIFTY YEARS what a flood of thoughts these words suggest! During that time what changes in society and government have taken place throughout the world! What progress in science has occurred, what inventions have revolutionized agriculture, surgery, engineering, and all the other arts! Not always has man worked steadily and honestly to this end. Oftentimes his ways have been crooked and directly opposed. Unjust wars have set back the world and the im- mediate results have been sometimes lamentable. But some- how the onrushing tide of civilization, however obstructed, has swept over all impediments to higher and nobler conditions. There can be no doubt that the happiness of the human race, the security of private property, and the safety of mankind everywhere have been enormously increased. Only one great Hand could be capable of accomplishing this glorious result — “God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform.” The previous one hundred and fifty years had, of course, its changes and developments, but outside of the accumulation of stock and personal property the conditions ot the individual life in 1776 were not greatly different from the conditions in 1626. The domestic and farming utensils were practically the same. Plows had been known in Virginia from the earliest days but they were little more than a point of hard wood or iron which tore up the ground. We are told that in Virginia, as late as 1770, nearly all of the work done in the fields was with the hoe, and transportation on the farms was done, not by carts, but by casks rolled about on the land. Man was not idle, however. The nature of gravity and electricity was explained and the power of steam was demonstrated. Chemistry was cultivated and made great advances. Some have claimed that the master invention of this period was the table fork. Till late in the 17th century that humble but useful instrument was Page 6 THE ORIOLE unknown to the average Englishman or Virginian, and its com- ing sharply defined the man of that age from the man of all preceding ages. It set a new standard of taste. Some have attributed the paralysis which attended Chinese civilization to the use of the chop-stick. Of course, the development of our own country has for us the greater interest. At the beginning of 1776 the United States was a small confederacy of about 3,000,000 people, and in 1920, according to the census of that year, the population, not including its outlying dependencies, was 105,710,620. The extent of its territory in 1790 was 892,135 square miles and in 1920 it was 3,026,789 square miles. At the beginning of the period there were no railroads, no steamboats, no telegraph or telephone lines, no automobiles, and indeed few of the ac- companiments that render modern life so agreeable. The Mississippi bounded on the west territory of the United States, but beyond the Alleghany Mountains the population was scant and scattered. We naturally think of the part played by Virginia in this great development. Democracy, immigration and territorial aggrandizement have been the keynotes of the American ex- pansion, and it was Virginia that led the way in sounding these notes. Under the guidance of Jefferson and the great Repub- lican party, of which Virginia was the headquarters, the prin- ciples of expatriation and democracy were infused into the soul of the country, and it was owing to her pioneers, led by her Washington and her George Rogers Clark, that the gateway of the West was thrown open, and the march of the country begun overland to the Pacific. At the head of the great pro- cession went the spirit of the Virginia Presidents — Jefferson, Monroe and Tyler. Thus the area of the United States was increased, and thousands of the hardy population of Europe came to swell the population of this country. Nor has science felt hardly less the exacting touch of ir- ginia’s plastic hand. It was James Rumsey, of Shepherds- town, Virginia, that first successfully applied steam to river navigation in 1786. It was Henry Draper, of Prince Edward County, who discovered oxygen in the sun by photography, pronounced by many the most brilliant discovery of his day. It was Cyrus II. McCormick, of Rockbridge County, irginia, who revolutionized the agriculture of the world by his invention of the reaper which gave a stimulus to all other agricultural AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA THE ORIOLE Page 7 inventions. It was Matthew F. Maury, of Spotsylvania County, who gave a new era to ocean navigation and effected long distance communication by the cable across the broad waters of the Atlantic. It was Dr. Walter Reed, of Gloucester County, and Dr. Henry Carter, of Hanover County, who saved the lives of thousands by discovering the cause of yellow fever, the greatest curse next to smallpox which has afflicted mankind. War had its heroes in this long period, and in the front of the armies stood the majestic figure of Washington followed by Daniel Morgan, Winfield Scott, Zachary Taylor, Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson and Joseph E. Johnston -all to the manner born. The romantic history of Southwestern Virginia is no un- important part of this astonishing development. The begin- ning of this era saw freshly settled there an enterprising race which had defied the Indians, the hard winters and the thickly wooded and difficult mountains. They were few in numbers but great in spirit. In 1769 the southern part of Augusta County west of the Blue Ridge Mountains (Augusta then extended to the Mis- sissippi) was set off by the Legislature and called Botetourt County. In 1 772 the population on the New River and the Holston had increased to such an extent as to require a new division. The country west of the New River to the Mis- sissippi was set off and named Fincastle County. Then in October, 1776, Fincastle was divided into three counties, Ken- tucky, Washington and Montgomery. The great names of Patton, Preston, Floyd, Campbell, Edmuridson, Cloyd, Buchanan, etc., illustrate the subsequent annals of the great County of Montgomery, of which Pulaski was a part, and upon the valor of its backwoodsmen depended, in great measure, the issue of the famous battle of “King’s Mountain” which, at the most depressing period of the Revolu- tion, turned the tide against the British and preserved the South- ern States to the American Republic. In 1790, Wythe County was formed out of Montgomery County, and in 1839 Pulaski County was created west of the New River, out of Montgomery and Wythe. This county was named in honor of Count Pulaski, who sealed with his life at Savannah, Georgia, his devotion to the struggling Republic of the Revolution. It is located in the great valley of the Southwest and has an area of 245 square miles. It is a county of beautiful hills and dales, and Peak Knob, rising to an altitude of 1,000 feet above Peak Creek, stands like a sentinel overlooking the whole. The population of Pulaski County in 1920 was 17,111. During the War for Southern Independence (1861-65) its people were loyal and con- stant in the fight for self-determination, which failed. In the World War, when the principle came out victorious, their patriotism was unsurpassed. Pulaski, the chief city and county seat, is on the Norfolk and Western Railway, and through it passes the transcon- tinental Lee Highway from Washington. In natural resources, mineral wealth and fertility ot soil, Pulaski County is sur- passed by no other county in Virginia. In beauty of scenery it is, in the language of the great poet, John Keats, “a thing of beauty and joy a forever.” Page 8 THE ORIOLE Feb. 7, 1927. CONTENTS I. Historic II. School III. Cl asses IV.

The first written records of our Ancient His- tory were begun when we first entered the Fresh- man Class in Sept., 1923, with 55 members on roll. During this era of Ancient History in the First Year we studied Ancient Civilizations of the world, and we could be compared to it. We were very crude and did not know how to use our books and knowledge — by which it could hardly be called just as the men of the old stone age knew little about how to use the wonderful things in the world around them. Just as the ancients we were a merry group of pupils who did not look forward to the future but just took things as they came. But by degrees we began to learn until we entered the Medieval Age which was begun in the Second Year and lasted through the Third. Where nations became more civilized we became more used to the life in Pulaski Hi. During the Medieval Age we were very much interested in our school wo rk and also in school athletics. We had many mem- bers of the class who became noted on account of their ability as athletes. We were patriotic to our school and looked for- ward to the time when finally we would become Seniors and have privileges. At last we became Seniors which was the beginning of the Modern Era in our school life. Our teachers tried to make us take an interest in art and culture, but we did not take this seriously enough. We were called dignified Seniors but most- ly in jest. Most of us wanted to make this our best year ever and most of us did this so far as fun goes. Although we have had many ups and downs, we feel that our high school career as a whole has been a success and we are all proud to be members of the Class of ’27.

THE ORIOLE Page 51 CLASS POEM It was in the golden month September, As I dimly yet remember, Nineteen hundred twenty-three was the year, When we first assembled here. How long and yet how short it seems Till we realized our graduation dreams. V e came to High School as Freshmen, A motly, disorganized crew, And gradually learned to our sorrow That we knew less than we thought we knew. We have our virtues and faults as do others, But to each we’re as sisters and brothers. Farewell, dear Senior Class to you; We have labored through joy and sorrow too. At the end there is victory waiting For the class that conquers all, And the Senior Class will conquer — Conquer, before it will fall. Gray Baxter, ' 27. We, the Senior ( lass of ’27 of Pulaski High School, supposedly of high intellectual ability and character, and realizing that we must now part with our worldly possessions, priv- ileges and positions, do hereby will and bequeath them to the Faculty, the incoming Senior Class, and others as follows: I . To tlie Junior Class we will the following: 1. Our code of ungranted Senior privileges with the sincere hope that they will turn out to be strictly privileges and not demerits. 2. Wisdom, self-control, determination, and will power, such as has never been excelled. 3. Superior mental calibers. 4. The privilege of issuing a search warrant for all lost property. 5. The privilege of being on hall duty in order that the teachers may have more time to devote to their social contacts. 6. The privilege of cutting classes, and of enjoying being “set up” by some poor, undignified Junior. 7. Our sophisticated Susie (our mascot). II. To the Faculty we will the following: 1. To Mr. Eckman, a class excelling in punctuality, including return of re- ports, note books, payment of tuition, and especially in being in chapel at least five minutes before the last hymn. 2. To Miss Woodyard, a class not so excellent in History that they can not wait until she finishes the question (and answers it herself) to give the answer. 3. To Miss Mitchell, a Senior Latin Class that will appreciate the beauty of Vergil, know ' w ' hat’s pathetic in the pathetic half-lines, and what’s lonely in the lonely words. 4.

In regard to school spirit and for effort for the school we rank high. Space does not per- mit individual statements from each member of the class upon its love for old P. H. S., but the school may count on ’28’s loyalty at all times. As Freshmen we were a bit slow in finding ourselves. We had many mistaken ideas about high school life. These were corrected in the course of time. We met with very many ob- stacles such as Latin, Algebra, Science, and so forth, but we were proof against them all and even the haughty Seniors had to admit that in every way possible the Freshmen were “right there.” So our Freshmen year came to its close with every- one of the general opinion that it had been more than successful. Our Sophomore year! Verily, the name of Sophomore was never more truly applied. During this year some of the same handicaps confronted us as in our Freshman year; these proved too much for some who dropped from our number. But the greater part of us still traveled on mid joys and sorrows. Now, as Juniors we know what is expected of us individual- ly and collectively. We can hardly keep from smiling at our earlier distorted views of school life. We know that while it is a great thing to win honors and championships, it is also a great thing to be able to lose with a fair mind towards one’s opponents; to lose without dishonoring the spotless seal of our school. As to the future, we can but guess, hope, perhaps, and work. We shall continue our sincere devotion and loyalty to the school, and to our class. There is one thing of which we are certain: 1927-’28 will speak far more eloquently than we speak now. We make no extravagant prophecies. Colleen Seagle, ’ 28 , Historian.

On September 7, 1925, ninety-eight young ladies and gen- tlemen began their career as members of the esteemed and be- loved Pulaski High School. Successfully they fought battles over Latin, Science, English, Algebra and History, as became Freshmen and students of Pulaski High. On September 7, 1926, seventy-two of the army returned and took up quarters in Sophomore rooms, where we have again successfully battled in Latin, Science, English, Algebra and History with that grim phantom, Failure. ' I ' he Sophomores are divided into two divisions — A and B. The A section is presided over by Miss Woodyard, and the B by Miss Crosswhite. There are about thirty-six members in each division. The Sophomores are very versatile, being able students, good athletes, and wonderful rooters. The motto, “Facta non verba,” expresses well the spirit of our class, for when in the next two years we depart, each to follow their own career, we hope to leave a record that may inspire those who follow to uphold the high standard main- tained by the Class of ’29, and as we advance in the broad field of knowledge we will ever hold in reverence the memories of our esteemed instructors and the happy days of the Sophomore year.

The old, ! old proverb, “A prophet has honor save in his own country,” will most assuredly apply to me when I have finished my prophecy. Our class emerged from the grades in the spring of ’26 and the same fall entered the Freshman Class. The term “Fresh- men” took a least bit of air out of our puffed sails. The in- itiating into the high school lasted for about two months and we became happily used to the conditions that pertain to a Freshman. Now let us look intothefuture and visualizejust abit. At last we have arrived at the long four-year journey. The years have been spent in an enjoyable manner. When we were in the Freshman year we thought it unlikely that we would ever become Seniors. The wheels of time have quickly cut their ruts and four mile-posts have been passed along the shore of Time. The football season, which just closed, was one of the most successful one ever experienced by our school. Under the leadership of our efficient coach, Mr. G. D. Flodges, our team captured the State Championship. Air. Hodges gave the best of his experience gained from the gridiron of his own Alma M ater, Milligan. All the tactics acquired from the dashing “Buffaloes” were used by Coach Hodges, and with telling effect he has instilled into our boys football warfare that finds its equal only on the college gridirons. Not only have we progressed in athletic activities but also in many other ways too. When we were Freshmen we were always looking forward to the time when we would be heir to some of those real or fancied Senior privileges. But with the passing of time our opinions have been revised and we find that a great majority of the privileges supposed to be granted Seniors are more fancied and phantom than real or concrete. In closing this prophecy I want to try to reflect the entire sentiments of our class in declaring that being a Senior in high school is something to look forward to and work for and that the only thing that we would think of exchanging a seniorship for would be a freshmanship in college. Georgia C. Hudson, Prophetess. [69] Page 70 THE ORIOLE THE FOLLY OF AN EDUCATION (A Satire ) N this era of drug store cowboys and youthful flappers so much is heard of the advantages of an education. How foolish the thought! Of course the world is growing wiser, but that only proves the accuracy of the Bible, for does not that good Book say that the “human race will grow weaker but wiser.” In the days of our forefathers “men were men and women were good housewives, God bless them,” but few of them had the rudiments of an education. They did possess good health and wonderful physiques. Abraham Lincoln was born a poor ignorant boy and was happy in the wilds of Indiana until the time some straggling man came along and told him he should have an education. Foolish youth that he was he set about to obtain it. His learn- ing led him to the President’s chair where he spent four years of mental torture and was then killed. If he had remained ignorant he might have lived to an old age and died peacefully. In the old days we had secrets. In this day of wireless, telephone and radios you can not whisper unless your next door neighbor hears you, and if you cuss the family cat some human over in the next State will have you arrested for cruelty to animals. In the old days all you had to do was to get up before the break of day, take a hoe and work in the com field all day. Now you are aroused from your beauty slumber at eight in the morning, made to get up, take books under your arm and ride off to school where you tax your mental capacity all day long trying to solve some Chinese puzzle that the teacher has pro- pounded to you. How silly! Why should we take all the labor off our brawny arms and place it all on that little ounce of gray matter that reposes in our dome? Are we not imposing on the weak and small? If we do not know anything about any of the world except that immediate vicinity that surrounds us we will have nothing to worry about. THE ORIOLE Page 71 If we had no education in the world we would not have any laws and if we had no laws we would not have to abide by them. Wouldn’t that be grand? No traffic cops to bawl us out or any of those other nuisances. We could do just as we pleased, and all would be well. Education takes many of us and places us in high society and makes us miserable. If we did not have it we Could re- main a ditch-digger and be satisfied with life. If there was not a continual quest for education we would not have any schools, and how grand that would be!!! We could just work and play, and mostly play, and life would be “one grand sweet song’’ if we only knew we did not have any lessons to recite. If there was no education we would be strong men and women with agile bodies, but since knowledge has brought us cars we might as well be paralyzed for we cannot walk any more, and all that legs are good for is to allow some flapper to wear short dresses and display dimpled knees. Abolish education and let’s return to the hard days of our forefathers where we will not know so much but be much hap- pier, for has it not been truly said, “Where ignorance is bliss, ’ tis folly to be wise.” Mildred Swaim. Page 72 THE ORIOLE INFORMATION HE window oi the information bureau of the rail- way station slowly raised; the sight which met the clerk’s eyes made him say to himself, “Now I’m in for a day of it.” First, there is a traveling sales- man, wearing a checked suit and a large, loud, red tie. Next, a talkative German woman, with one arm hampered w ith a basket, while in the same hand carried a bundle of clothes; her other hand was busily occupied in making gestures as she talked. A small child was whimpering by her side and holding tight to her mother’s skirts. The third person was an im- patient, fashionably dressed young lady, who was trying to keep her own neat clothes from touching those of the German woman. And on down the line, one after another, some ex- cited, some calm . . . but all anxious to secure some par- ticular information. As the clerk was still glancing down the line of people, a voice broke in upon his meditations, “Say, what do you think this is? A study hall? I want to know what time the first train runs that goes to San Fran- cisco, and l want to know quick.” “W ell, it is supposed to run in about fifteen minutes, but it .... ” “Supposed to run! Well, isn ' t it?” “ . . . . will run in about an hour and a half,” continued the clerk as if he had not been interrupted. “Well, I’ll be hanged! Why on earth don’t they run trains on time? My time is valuable. Why isn’t it running on time?” “A wreck is holding it up about fifty miles from here, and if that is all, sir, there are other people back of you who are waiting for you to move on.” “Humph, I’ll move when I get ready,” said the salesman, but nevertheless he stepped out of line, and the German woman moved up. “Ach! I toucht that man voud nefer moved. In all dose checks an’ all dose red tie, he look to me lak he just stepped . . . Olga! How many dimes must I tell you not to vimper like dot? Now vot vas I saying? Oh, yes, about dose young man. Ach, have to buy mine ole man a tie like dot “Really, madam, is there anything I can do for you?” the clerk said, with a smile on his face. THE ORIOLE Page 73 “Dot you can. Dot you can. Vich is tie . Olga! vot did l tell you? Dis chile, she has a nature just like her fad- der. Ach! a temper; she’s just a chip-o’-t he-ole-block. Yy he ” “1 beg your pardon, madam, but you are soiling my dress with your bundle and basket,” said a voice just behind the German woman. “Vot did you say? Oh, mine chile, I’m so torry. Ach an’ such a pretty one too-be-sure. Vel, vel.” “Madam, what is it you wish to learn?” “Yes, yes. Vot vus it? Oh, yes. Vich is dc . . . . Olga! door to de . . . Olga! . . . street?” “The second to the right, madam. Next?” As the German woman left still scolding “Olga” for not letting her talk to the “nice young man,” the young lady polite- ly asked on which track she would find the train to Riverton. “The third track, the train facing toward the west,” an- swered the clerk. “Thank you, and as she moved away the clerk’s eyes followed her, and when the next man asked him how he could get to the postoffice, he answered absently, “Third track, train facing toward the west.” Manola Mitchell, ' 28. A A A A • Page 74 THE ORIOLE MEMORY AT wonderful sense called memory is like a beauti- ful lake on whose brink we stand gazing into its blue deep, watching the faces that come and go. In this lake of memory shall lurk a beautiful picture of our dear old high school and all the little child- ren that help to carry on its work. We will see our friends and our loved ones, as they merrily go through life, each living up to the ideals of our school. We must all go out into this vast world to carve a future, alone, for ourselves, yet the future cannot weaken memory, which will fight its way to our sight, and as a swallow in the south, it will persuade us to come back again, where our noblest ideals will find foothold in our dear high school. Sitting before the fireplace many years from now, memory will carry us on the swift wings of time, back over the plains of the intervening years and as the embers glow so will our love for our school- mates increase as we watch our friends in the game all crowded around the old piano, singing with a voice that vibrates with love and loyalty, “True to the Orange and Black.” Violet Turpin. THE ORIOLE Page 75 Success Success! success! that unseen thing, Your heart ' s desire, your whole life ' s dream: Has it not been your long desire To make life more than it doth seem. Your occupation may be humble, Your business may be small; But with all your might keep up the fight, Then climb a step and don ' t fall. Success is just a matter of time With the effort you put into it — To take small things and build them up, Or an old thing and renew it. How many times have you given up hope And said that you tried in vain? You may have tried, but you have lied When you say that you can ' t try again. Don ' t lie down on the job again; Pep up; don ' t be so dense: Just get your brain to working right And use your common sense. Don ' t look back on the sad old past Or the present circumstances, But look into that glorious future Which now so fast advances. The aged old man whose years have passed Looks back and knows the truth — The mistakes that he made when young, And cries, “Oh, give me back my youth. ' ' Have faith in others and yourself; Be honest, although you get less, And with the help of God and your fellowmen You ' re bound to win success. Foy Aust, ' 29. Page 76 THE ORIOLE Courage Have courage, my classmates, whatever you do; It takes courage to succeed, you will find this is true. It isn ' t always easy to win in the race, But courage will help us our goal to embrace. Sometimes it is hard to “Try, try again, When seeming failures before us remain. But this we must do if success we obtain, We must try again and our courage sustain. It takes courage sometimes to say “no to the wrong; And at times it is hard to breathe forth a song. But if we are brave and do not repine We are sure to succeed with our lives made sublime. It is easy to drift with the tide as it goes, But it takes courage to push up stream amid foes. But courage, labor, and faithf ulness too, Will help us to win in whatever we do. Dear classmates, may courage our watchword be, yls onward we travel in this land of the free. When out on life s billows we ' re tossed by the storm May our courage sustain us and keep us from harm. Olin Munsey.

(greetings Greetings to the Senior Class My cordial good wishes for the advancement of Pulaski Nothing has contributed more to the betterment and progress of the people of Virginia than our system of public education, which has improved so much in recent years. It comes to every poor boy and girl in the State, whispers into their ears the promptings of hope, and tells them to build high the pedestal of their ambition and aspiration . To every boy and girl of the State the public school opens the door of op- portunity. The success of the boys and girls in life is measured by the extent to which, in early youth, they avail themselves of the opportunities thus presented. As a public school boy, and as a public school teacher, I am thoroughly acquainted per- sonally with the benefits derived from this system and bespeak for it the unstinted support of the Virginia people. Upon her youth of today Virginia relies for her greatness of tomorrow, and by their unselfish, devoted, loyal and in- telligent service, they may rival the glory of a splendid past. Patriotism is the exercise of an unselfish and public spirit. Virginia nobly deserves such contributions from her sons and daughters. They should discard local and personal interest, and consider the interest and the good of all as a supreme necessity for the welfare and progress of the Com- monwealth. I hope the young generation now undergoing the processes of education may realize this duty and embrace the opportunity for its fulfillment. and all its interests. f 82 ] Congratulations on the progressiveness shown by the plans of your proposed publication. 0 The bulwark of American ideals is the Public School , and the voice of public opinion is trained within its walls. The public school, the bulwark of democracy. In these anniversary years, when the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the adoption of the Bill of Rights and the birth of Washington are commemorated, we should derive new courage and faith from the history of the past, and be strengthened in our resolve to retain unimpaired the princi- ples and institutions which so largely had their origin in Vir- ginia patriotism and statesmanship. Character, courage, and industry are prime essentials to success in life. If each pupil in the High Sch ools of America could be educated to the point of understanding the fundamental prin- ciples of our government as set forth in the Constitution of the United States we would attain the highest measure of pro- tection for our country against internal and external aggression that could possibly be secured by any one measure.

The true purpose of education is to cherish the seed of immortality already sown within us, and to develop to the greatest extent the capacities with which the Great Creator has endowed us. If our schools shall continue to lead our young people to such historical knowledge as may form in them an apprecia- tion of the greatness of this Republic, we shall never lack for that intelligent love of country which is true patriotism. f ) i J, • y It [ 89 ] [ 90 ] THE ORIOLE Page 91 ANTI-SHEIK CLUB MOTTO “ Ladies , keep your distance OFFICIALS ALBERT “SPARKY” CARPENTER Imperial Woman Hater JOHN “SUDS” CROWDER Assistant Woman Hater WALTER “SUNSHINE” LEWEY Dough Boy and Ink Slinger MEMBERS CECIL “SLIM” BOSANG MONT “SPEED” CHUM BLEY HENSEL “SEIGNIOR” ECKMAN RICHARD “SHORTY” GLENN OLIN “SHEIK” MUNSEY JUDSON SOT” HARRIS CHARLES “SLEEPY” BOLEY THOMAS “SHAG” ROBERTS GEORGE SPUD” SUMMERS FRANK “SNUB” KEGLEY EUGENE “SHEIN” SNIDER ROBLEY “SAP” WOOD CHARLES “SIMP” GATEWOOD ROGER “SISSY” CAR LAN OUR POEM The girls are blinding to our eyes, Hate we the lip-stick, rouge despise, Every glance our pride defies.

This is the first Commercial Club or- ganized at P. H. S. and the students have struggled very hard to make it a success. The aim of the students in organizing this club was to bring the community in closer contact with the school. This was done by means of good lectures and observation trips which enabled the students to become acquainted with the most prominent business men and with the most modern office ap- pliances. The Commercial Club ranks as the best functioning or- ganization in the school. It makes all the students feel that business rules the world. The club appreciates the support given by the many citi- zens of the town, when “The Masonic Ring” was given at the Jefferson School on February 10, 1927, by the Commercial Club. It certainly proved, beyond doubt, the success of the club. This was the first time that the work of the club was brought to the realization of the public.

The first game was played on the home court with Wytheville High. This game ended in an easy victory for P. H. S., the score being 25—11. The next game was with Dublin High. The Pulaski six rolled up a score of 43 and Dublin 16. Then came the first game towards the dis- trict championship, with Vinton High. This was a hard fight on the part of both teams, but the game ended 29—18 in our favor. The first time that the Orange and Black ceased to wave in victory was when the girls journeyed to Bluefield, W.Va. The score was 12—22 in favor of Bluefield. We then played Vinton a return game on their court. P. H. S. again came out victorious with 17 points and Vinton running close with 13 points. Our next game was with Barracks High; the game end- ed with a score of 30 to 17 in our favor, which gave us the cham- pionship of district seven. We are now hard on our way to capture the State title again this year. Our last game will be with Waynesboro on their court. We lose four of our varsity this year, but the second squad is working hard and we are looking forward to a successful season again next year. VARSITY BASKETBALL SQUAD [ H2] CAPT. WESLEY JOHNSON MGR.

The boys were not discouraged when they met defeat, but stuck right with it and worked all the harder. With hard work the boys have gained knowledge of many fine points of the game which next year will give Pulaski some fine material to start the season with. Although we lose some of the team, we have sincere hopes of finding material that will be their equal. t: m; v j , This is the first year in the history of the school that P. H. S. has been able to boast of a regular paid coach for athletics. All the athletics of the school have been under the super- vision of Mr. Hodges, a gradu- ate of Milligan College, and his efficiency has been proved by the teams which he has turned out this year. Although the majority of us who have had the advantage of being under the splendid direction of Mr. Hodges this year, are graduating we hope the oncoming teams of P. H. S. may get the benefit of his supe- rior coaching next year and will turn out State champions in all branches of our athletics. Mr. Hodges has won the friendship of all the students and is especially popular among the girls, not only of the basketball squad, but also among those of of the faculty. [ H6] CAPT. MONTGOMERY CHUMBLEY MGR. WALTER LEWEY BASEBALL P. H. S.— 1927 Official practice for baseball at the high school opened March 1st. A large squad reported for practice, but quite a number dropped out on account of the strenuous practice which was being given them. Former coach of baseball, Roy Hall, took charge of the boys at the opening of the season to assist in getting the team off in big league style. He is helping the regular coach through the season, which is a great help to the team. The pitching staff is starting off in fine shape. It is pre- dicted that P. H. S. will have a hard hitting team this year. A very stiff schedule has been made out for the season and a number of good trips are expected to be taken. The teams played on these trips will probably be college freshmen teams. P. H. S. expects, and is fighting hard, for the State cham- pionship.
