Smith Bros., Printers Pulaski, Va. ©rew©F L EST in the swiftly passing years all the good com- radeship and happy years at Pulaski High become merely a dim memory, we have prepared this record of events over which we have worked, sighed, and laughed.

Methought it a strange place, but opened my eyes and observed close- ly. I was enrolled as a Freshman but expect to be a Sophomore when the term is up. Sept. 14 — Today a club was begun and named the “Globe Trotters” and we also had our pictures taken in trousers. I heard somebody remark that we looked very well and I thought so too. After we had our pictures snapped, it seemed the devil entered into us because we ran away in John Henry Calfee’s car. I can never remember when I was so frightened before. I kept telling myself it was a dream, but all for no use. Oct. 3 — To school in the Principal’s car and my new dress. I felt quite proud but tried to keep it hidden. In the period after recess Mr. Eckman sat down on a chair on which had been placed a neat wad of gum. He would not have been annoyed if the gum had not been pink. He caused us to remain after school, but the source of the gum was not discovered. Nov. 10 — Today rode to school in a truck, and we ate five gallons of pickles and a bottle of olives. They gave me the most amazing stomach trouble I have yet known. Mary Crowder and Zella Thompson were also peculiarly affected. Dec. 16 — I noticed today that Sam Pillsbury became very much enamored of Lucille Umberger’s curls to the extent that the expression on his face betrayed an inward sickness and he was unable to concentrate on his algebra. Jan. 3 — Today being bright and sunny, Annie Powell and Ralph Stambaugh played hooky. I expect they will have an interesting interview with Mr. Brugh on the morrow. May 22 — Attended commencement exercises. Mr. Ed Howard presented the diplomas. The graduation class was bravely arrayed in caps and gowns and made a very scholastic appearance withal. Methought they looked disturbed in mind. THE ORIOLE c$ Page 35 Sept. 7 — Entered school again as a Sophomore. The Freshmen seemed exceedingly juvenile. Nov. 12 — Walked to school. Noticed Lucille Umberger’s shorn locks — she quietly weeping on back seat. Feb. 8 — To the Parish House; saw the basketball girls win the State championship. I said to myself “Hooray!” Margaret Bopp distinguished herself. March 6 — To the second floor of Tilson’s store, where the Sopho- mores gave the Juniors a party. Had a good time, but my carriage arrived much too early. May 22 — Attended commencement exercises. Miss Wygal in laven- der presided at the piano. Sept. 6 — Juniors — Today was enrolled as a Junior and called an upper classman which pleased me much. Miss Finks had us in charge and took our names. Oct. 11 — To school, and received Literary Digest, which made me feel quite proud, never having read the jokes before. Several times I heard Colleen Seagle, Bascom Owen, and William Stull convulsed with mirth. Dec. 18 — To school in Mr. Brugh’s car and today he announced that his health was failing and he would have to leave school. Sarah Spence and gnes Groseclose were not the only ones using their handkerchiefs. It was indeed a sad time. I wonder who will take Mr. Brugh ' s place! Jan. 9 — To school, and it was announced that Mr. Eckman had been appointed principal which pleased us exceedingly. Jan. 16 — Walked to school today and struggled most gallantly with geometry. It is whispered that Herman O’Dell, Thomas Douthat and Bud Crockett are the so called shining stars in this subject. Feb. 8 — To the Parish House and a boys’ basketball game. The boys lost, but it seems they lose every time, so it does not cause surprise any more, If Page 36 Js- THE O R IOLE March 13 — To school, and after enumerating my subjects 1 believe Latin is the hardest. Miss Mitchell, it seems, puts us to work, although 1 believe I have learned a little Latin. May 22 — To school, and received my report. It seems school is over and methought it high time. Sept. 7 — Seniors! To Mr. Farthing’s studio and had my picture taken, but was much disappointed with the result, it not being an excellent likeness. But I especially admired Daisy Douthat and Mildred Hall’s pictures. Oct. 17- It seems I am a Senior and must, therefore, try to assume dignity, but it is hard. Kathleen and Gladys Lindsay do it very well. Nov. 16 — Today noticed Wesley Johnson and Miss Woodyard in light conversation. Dec. 8 — To school and we are at work on The Oriole. Miss Finks is sponsor and Colleen Seagle editor. Two of our chief pastimes as seniors are having our pictures taken and bringing money for divers things. But I have been taught differently. Jan. 15 — To school and took exams. Methought myself lucky to pass any of them. It was discussed before about having physical education in this school and now we have it. Like it exceedingly. Irene Harman, perchance, is especi- ally graceful. Feb. 28 — To the Jefferson School and saw a play, “See You Later ” Methought it very good. It was all home talent and there were some very pleasing songs. Dec. 26 — P. S. — Miss Mitchell is now Mrs. Allison to the surprise of the school. Never thought they would marry. Feb. 9 — It was announced today that there would be a “Rat Week. Feel sorry for the “Rats,” but do not intend to harm them. March 18 — Mrs. Allison was in an automobile accident and harmed her ankle. She will not be able to come to school for a long while it was stated. THE ORIOLE Page 37 April 6 — To the Jefferson School where there was playing “O, Kay!” — an Oriole play. Mcthought it was very good. May 19 — Today The Oriole was out. It is indeed a remarkable book. I intend to keep mine always. May 23 — Today was graduated from High School with the usual ceremonies and amid tears. But afterwards heard many “Hoorahs!” expressed. We had grey caps and gowns. While we were much pleased to receive diplomas, our throats were suddenly stricken in a most amazing and exceedingly uncomfortable manner as the last good-byes were said. Caroline Knapp ’28. Page 38 • THE ORIOLE SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY X HAVE looked through all varieties of glasses and have failed to see into the future. I have become entranced without becoming intoxicated with the beauty of the future — but as you look upon this work of mine judge for yourself as to its authenticity. I do not know how soon all this will happen but the following would be my idea of what each member of my class would do — if one may judge by daily actions. I look into this glass (looking glass) and lo! I see — John Henry Calfee has purchased a new pool table for his and Mr. Shufflebarger’s use. Bud Crockett is a second Diogenese; the only difference is that Bud is hunting almanacs. Tom Douthat has at last found a clock that will awaken him in time to be on time. The new chewing-gum factory in our city is owned by Orville Emmart and Bill Stull. Bob Jameson has just finished work on the new Rock Road House swimming pool. Herman O’Dell has invented a machine to increase one’s height for his and Caroline Knapp’s use. Bascom Owen seems to be very interested in “things” about Wumo. George Snider has gone to Turkey where he can have as many wives as he wants without breaking anyone’s heart. Ralph Stambaugh has half interest in a prominent furniture company of our town. If Willie Stull keeps staying around the hospital, we’ll have a good doctor before long. Hilda Bones is still trying to find the 1,000 piece orchestra that she once heard over the radio. Mutt Bopp recently went to Pennsylvania to see about a new “Dodge roadster.” “Owen” to certain recent happenings, Prances Boothe has returned to the country. Ima Bunts is now business instructor in our high school. THE ORIOLE • Page 39 Mary Crowder has spent over $1,000 hunting for the bus line that has round trips to California for $58. Thelma Cole is now widely known as a biologist. Ethel Dixon has a “paint” shop all her own— I don’t mean house paint. When last heard of Daisy Douthat was preparing to join the school teaching profession. Agnes Groseclose and Hazel Reese are confirmed old maids, and are living in peace and quiet at Ivanhoe. Mildred Hall has at last been given permission to build a house on the V. P. I. campus. Alice Harding is now a perfect example of a “slip of a girl.” Irene Harman is now official announcer at station G-A-S. Elsie Kingrea is the eighth wonder of the world — she hasn’t giggled for two days. Gladys Lindsay has at last succeeded in teaching “B” Kinzer to “dance.” Kathleen Lindsay is writing articles on life at prep schools. Ethel Lyons has risen to the heights with the aid of yeast. Annie Powell is still trying to find someone who can help her with her bookkeeping. Frieda Quesenberry is now with Herman O’Dell as house- keeper. Anne Rhodes is now presiding at a B. Y. P. U. conference at Richmond. Marie Richardson now uses Overland Sedans exclusively. Colleen Seagle has just completed her portrait of the president. Sarah Spence is now located with the Horned Rimmed Spec- tacle Co. in this city. Zella Thompson is hard to find now — her Chrysler came back. Lucille Umberger is now boss of a “Lonesome” Doctor’s Hospital. Mabel Whitaker has at last succeeded in getting the position of typewriting instructor at P. H. S. Evelyn Worley started on a long trip to New York and abroad, but she was late without an excuse and missed her train. Wesley Johnson ’28.

On September 7th, 1927, fifty-six “loyal souls” reported for duty — only fifty-six of the illustrious one hundred and fifteen. As soon as our places were assigned we met to elect a few neces- sary officers. This we did after nearly breaking up the ranks. But they, being capable men, soon marshalled us and we proceeded in order. For the first two or three months nothing of interest happened except a few minor scrimmages with Lessons and a monthly attack from a race of giant Notebooks (the worst of our enemies). About the first of October we were greatly bothered by Traders who tried to sell us pins (which is the Junior insignia). Of course every man had his favorite kind and we came near breaking up again, but finally by compromise we got some very attractive pins. Next we got together money to fix up our traveling quarters, and got them painted by Christmas. In early February we received news of the coming of Exams, and camp was put to order and heavy training ensued until the fifteenth, when they attacked. Many were badly wounded and were forced to change their routine. Following this unsuccessful attack we had a two days rest period before we resumed the march. On February 19th we were forced to stop again to exterminate a few “Rats” in the ranks behind us. They were easily caught and at the end of a week were entirely subdued. Along the last of March we elected a Sponsor, Editor-in- Chief, and Business Manager for next year’s Oriole, the Army Yearly, and this time our very own. Oh Joy! We are considered efficient in Physical Ed. by the State Supervisor, for did he not say, “Look at the Juniors?” And thus we have come through Junior Land, striving and working, weeping and rejoicing, until at last our victory is won and we leave on furlough until next September.

Kinzer as its Presi- dent, Carl Bopp as its Vice-President and Georgia C. Hudson as its Secretary-Treasurer. With the election of the officers completed it started out to make it the best year of its existence. From the Freshman Class we emerged with our colors flying, and although a few had to be reclassified as Freshmen they were in the minority, and as a unified class we moved forward. We knew that if we withstood the rigors of the Freshman year that we would be well qu alified to discharge the responsibilities and duties of Sopho- mores. Of course we thought that we could have discharged those small duties characteristic of the Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors very well when we first entered upon the Freshman year, but after passing through the year and through the Sophomore year we are not so cocksure about it, but in passing through these experiences we have retained something that will help us along as we mount the scholastic ladder. Our History will be properly recorded when we reach the Senior year and that will be two short years hence, and at that time we hope that we will be able to record some very great accomplish- ments. Our record will be our history, the years will be the chapter headings, our deeds the paragraph heads. Ultimately we will have written a great volume with our deeds recorded from year to year and may none be more vividly impressed than those that were re- corded during our school years.

In about a week the seventy-nine were divided into three groups, governed by the Mates Woodyard, Blair and Shufflebarger, under the command of Captain Eckman. The good ship soon set sail towards that mythical continent, Graduation, and before we knew it every oar was being pulled as one, and all was peace and harmony aboard the ship. But, to our horror, towards the middle of January we shipped into a typhoon off the coast of “Failure.” Being able seamen we passed by the rocks of History, English, Science, Latin, and Algebra with few mishaps. No sooner was this passed safely than came the terrible plague of “Rat Week,” when the upper seamen practiced “Black Arts” upon us Rats. We had a fair voyage until near the end of our first year at sea, when we were overtaken by a gigantic water spout and almost demolished. But having passed through this safely we came to the golden harbor “Vacation” where we will rest three months before resuming our journey. Regina Bowles ’31.

Literature is, as we know, the highest of all the arts, even greater than music, which I am sure appeals to all of us. Literature differs from other subjects in that we can enjoy it at all times in school or out. We can bury ourselves in it for a whole afternoon, forgetting that we are liv ing in our great world of today, but with people who lived many years before us. We are enjoy- ing their pleasures with them, sharing their dangers. It is, as the great writer Carlyle said, through books that the past speaks to us. Through Literature, Nature, God’s great out of doors, is re- vealed. The beauty of the trees, the birds, and the flowers is shown. We know all these things are lovely but the poets make them seem so much more beautiful than we ourselves could ever imagine. Literature reveals to us the life of the most cultured and re- fined men and women — not only their great deeds, but their person- alities and ideas of life. Through one’s writing we can tell just what kind of a person he was, for it has been said that Literature is the only true history of the soul. We have all kinds of histories which tell all about the great wars throughout the ages, the great deeds ot man, but even then we know nothing of them inwardly or of their personalities or ideas of life. Let us take Washington as an example, who is called the Father of his Country and whose memory is loved and cherished by every true American. When we read of him in histories we think of him first as a little boy who cut down a cherry tree, next as a great military leader, our first president, and one among the many great men who helped to form our nation. But when we study him in Literature he is altogether a different character; he seems more hu- man, his truthfulness, his sincerity, and his humor are expressed; he himself is expressed. Literature is something that will live on and on throughout the ages. It has lived in the past, and people enjoyed it; we of today are enjoying it, and the people who are to live after us will enjoy it. Why should we not love anything valued so highly, something that will never die, and which shows the attainment of the very highest ob- ject of human culture? Literature is the light of the world; the progress ot nations has been attributed to its storehouse of wealth. Freeda Turpin ' 29. FORDS 4 Page 67 THE ORIOLE AYE you ever thought of how many different kinds of Fords there really are? For example, there is the Ford that belongs to the man of limited means. It is always overburdened and the slave of the family It gets up at six every morning and goes to work, rain or shine, except on Sunday. Afterwards children use it for a spring-board by jump- ing up and down on the cushions until in protest the springs poke their way through to stick some unlucky one. On Saturday it gets its weekly bath and shine and on Sunday takes the family clan for a long ride. There is also the farmer’s Ford. It stays out of doors all kinds of weather. It takes the children to school, hauls the milk to town every morning, and in gemeral is used as a truck whenever the occasion arises. It is minus mud guards, top, windshield, and is always getting stuck in the mud. It gives a few extra shivers in cold weather and a long groan when it hits mud — but it arrives. The rich man’s Ford has a steam heated garage, or when its owner goes to the office it is left in one down town. It has a stall, bath and shine every day, it is overhauled every month and has bolts tightened to insure its owner from unnecessary squeaks. It is re- splendant in the glory of a flower holder, cigar lighter, self-starter, seat covers, and any number of other accessories that make it look like a Rolls-Royce with a superiority complex. And last but not least we have the college Ford. It is gor- geously decorated with signs and a network of wire which is used for all needed repairs. It has a fire ax, fire hose, trunk, and lantern for tail light. It always carries more than its share in passengers and will make twenty-five miles per hour down hill. It is minus a horn, lights, top, windshield. In fact, it is minus everything that makes a car, and hits on only three cylinders when it goes at all. It is the next victim for the junk man. Regardless of the type, the Ford reminds one of the good natured person who is never taken seriously, but who in spite of all jokes grins and goes rambling along in a most unconcerned way.

On the floor above lived Archias, who often kept Laurentia and Tullia occupied by reading poetry to them till Cicero slipped out — a thing for which Cicero gratefully defended him in his “Pro Archia.” M arcus Tullius Cicero, head of the house (?), is pacing the floor, kicking over foot-stools, bumping into tables and chairs, and stumbling over rugs, while the odor of delicious toast and percolating coffee pervades the room from the floor below. “O Di Immortales! Doesn’t that moron Catiline know any- thing? O J upiter, give me strength to keep on my diet! Isn’t it enough to stick around closer’n fly paper when I do get Maria to myself? And to best it all Laurentia is going to stop my allowance unless I come on to Pompeii: just when I am becoming the best dancer at the “Night Owl,” and that’s the biggest night club in Rome. Hector Pompelius! Why on earth did I introduce him to her?” At this point he is interrupted by a slave — “Whatnow, Julius?” “I bring a letter, Sir, from Catiline and one from your wife, just come by the fastest runner.” “Give them to me and make your exit snappy!” Cicero reads the letters and groans. “O Di Immortales, give me strength! Cati- line has eloped with Maria and has persuaded Laurentia tocomehome. O Ye Gods! Jumping goldfishes! Help me to get revenge!” cried Cicero as he got out pencil and paper and wrote his four orations against Catiline.

THE ORIOLE • Page 71 A Summer Shower O ne bright sunny day in June , As I sat under the boughs of a maple tree Listening to the birds as they twittered their tune , And the familiar hum of the honey bee As he sips the honey from his choicest flower, I realized that the signs of approaching clouds, As comes the ghosts in their white shrouds, Told of the coming of a summer shower. The birds flew here and there looking for a sheltered place, The brook as it flowed over its pebble bottomed bed Hurried on its journey at a quickened pace — With the clouds still hovering over head That told of the approaching shower. The tortoise as was his custom crept into his house, Safe and sound was every animal, fowl and flower, The last of the outdoor family to find shelter was the lithe field mouse. Then with sudden burst and crash, As with some unknown aid, The rain came down with a dash, Like a beautiful Indian maid. The purple mountain laurel stands Long after the rain is over, Holding the raindrops in outstretched hands Waiting for the wee folk to join the fun in the clover.

Much of this success we can at- tribute to the splendid leader- ship and enthusiasm of Mr. Shufiflebarger. The fact that Pulaski’s team was defeated only once is enough to show his good leadership. Mr. Shuffle- barger can certainly be com- mended on his ability to make his teams feel at ease.

THE ORIOLE 4 Page 131 RULES FOR UNDERCLASSMEN Whereas, certain of the underclassmen have conducted them- selves in a manner entirely unbecoming to their station, be it re- solved, that the following rules be and are accepted by the Senior Class: 1 . Remember your subordinate position. 2. Do not call Seniors by their first names without permission. 3. Do not expect to get your diploma in two years. It takes four years for most and five or six for some. 4. When in class, do not snap your fingers at the teachers. They do not come at your call. 5. Do not ruin the reputation of the school by misbehaving on the streets. 6. Do not offer information to Seniors or Faculty. 7. Do not ask impertinent questions. 8. Do not mistake the Upper Hall for Broadway. Vaudeville performances are not expected of the students when changing classes. 9. Do not be late for chapel. You are expected to arrive before 10:30 A. M. Colleen Seagle ’28. C+ £ MY LAMENT Of all the things I like the best, I like my “eats” and that’s no jest. I eat and then I eat some more, Still I’m as empty as before. I like rich pies and also cake, Only food keeps me awake. Then there’s meat and good white bread, These alone keep me from bed. Three square meals I must have a day, And some between to keep hunger away. I must have this, and I must have that, And I eat, and I eat, but I can’t get fat! I eat ’til I nearly get my fill But I can’t gain a pound — It makes me ill! Why others always get fat so quick Buf I — Well, I look just like a stick. Marie Richardson ’28, Page 132 Js T H E O R I O L E ENGLISH AS SHE IS SPOKE I am an upholder of good English. In all the world I think there ain’t nothing as bad as bad English. Look at I for an example. I ain’t never made no mistake in grammar; of course I realize I’ve had more eddication than most people has. The other day, me and a friend went to the moving pitchers. There was a girl setting be- hind us, and she used the word “ain’t”; now that ain’t right, there ain’t no such word as “ain’t.” Another example is my friend Jack. He was at the back of the house and I hollered to him. He answered back with “I’m a- comin’!” That ain ' t right also. He should have said “I am a-com- ing.” Then, when he come on round the house I told him about his mistake, but he didn’t take it very graciously. He should be thank- ful for the interest I had done showed, and listen to his betters. I ain’t got my diploma in high school yet because the teachers say I make too many grammatical errors. I don’t know what that means but I guess it means something about my arithmetic being wrong so much. But I don’t care about no arithmetic, when I’ve done devoted all my time to good English. Folks, you’ve heard that old fable — “If at first you ain’t succeeded, keep on trying till you do.” Well that’s me; at first I didn’t succeed, but I kept on trying and now — well — you’ve saw the product. Dorothy Taylor ’29, T H E O R I O L E 4 Page 133 I WONDER There’s lots of things I’d like to know, As thru these days I quickly go. Lots of things great and lots very small, That I can’t figure out at all. And so I’ll ask a few to you, To see if you are ignorant too. Why does the teacher always call on me, When I’m as dumb as I can be? And why are we always laughing or wearing a silly grin, When the Principal comes walking in? I don’t know, do you? And why, when in school, we’re all chewing gum, I always get caught; I’m the unlucky one! I don’t know, do you? Now I have said more times than one, That I’m going to quit this chewing gum. But when some one comes along And offers me a stick, I surely grab it mighty, mighty quick. And too, I have said, that talking in school I would stop, But when some one talks to me My tongue goes flippety-flop. I wonder why I really do, But I don’t know, do you? Nancy Landis ’30. PARTING Unspoken words, words at parting, Find their voice in song, Sing them soft and tenderly, The song will not last long. And hand grasps hand at parting, Hearts find hearts in song, Unspoken words at parting — ’Twill last as life is long. Winifred Duncan ’29.
