Our Sponsor, SACiss SAlargarct Q)yer Our c Pllmd SVLater Not just a place where we ' ve studied four years, A ml listened day after day ; But more like a home where our big family lives, From September until May. We ' ve learned more than just what we ' ve read from our books, We ' ve learned how to win and to lose; We ' ve learned how to play a game that is fair, To be gentle and not to abuse. “Not just for school, but for life we learn, ' ' Said some great forefather ; We ' ve learned how to live to get more out of life, In this our Alma Mater. -Genoa King, ' J4. 2 faculty MISS ELIZABETH BLAIR French and English MISS HELEN CROSWHITE MISS LAURA DALTON Biology MISS MILDRED DuVAL Business MISS CRYSTAL FRYE Mathematics Science MISS MARGARET DYER English and Mathematics MR.

Page Eighteen THE ORIOLE Senior Glass dKittory September 8, 1930, ninety-five healthy and noisy young Indians swarmed up the stairs of P. H. S. and proudly took possession of the freshman rooms. Our shouts of joy at this triumph were soon silenced by the trials of Latin, algebra and science and the cheerful comments of the Sophomores concerning Rat Week. On this great occasion the more talented members of the class, on encouragement from the Sophomores, delighted the audience with their singing and danc- ing. After regaining our composure we settled down to the task of col- lecting four units with as little work as possible. The four units being acquired most of us moved up to the second year and theoretically left behind us all childish pranks and became dignified young ladies and gentlemen. During this year we added to the class roll the names of Milton Brockmeyer, a budding Rubinoff, and Chester Palmer, who is also a violinist although few people know it. Chester has proved invaluable in keeping the class in high spirits, not to mention his work in football and basketball. About this time some of the more distinguished boys of the class became convinced of their importance, and desiring to impress this upon posterity, made a list of their names on the ceiling of the balcony where they can be seen today. On starting our J unior year we were faced with the problem of deciding whether to take the business or the scientific course. After numerous con- ferences with the harassed Mr. Eckman, each of us chose what seemed to him the lesser of the two evils and some of us entered the struggle against bookkeeping and shorthand while others braved the fields of geometry and physics. At this time Elsie Rogers joined us and entered into the common cause. During this year it became increasingly evident that we had in our midst a number of very talented musicians and orators and several first- class athletes. In a surprisingly short time final exams were upon us; we passed- we were Seniors! THE ORIOLE Page Nineteen After three months of rest and forgetfulness we returned to work, to take up the responsibilities of Seniors and to try hard to be dignified. Al- though our class is now less than half the size of the original one, we made up for this by persistent efforts. The 1934 Oriole is published with Lucille Rhudy, Editor-in-Chief; Chester Palmer, Business Manager; and Miss Dyer, Sponsor. We feel justly proud of the staff for turning out this book. And now our work is over, diplomas are received, and with a smile and a tear for the days of joy and companionship that are over we leave the school to the Class of ’35. Carl Lewey, ' 34. Page Twenty THE ORIOLE !£ast c Will and Testament lAL E, the Senior Class of 1934, since we are convinced of the fact that we will no longer he pupils of P. H. S., and cannot take away all our real and personal property, do hereby be- queath to the oncoming classes the following items and privileges: To the Faculty we leave the following items: To our principal, Mr. Eckman, we leave our best wishes (and also sym- pathy) for success with the Seniors of next year.

THE ORIOLE Page Twenty-three Class Prophecy ERE IT IS 1954 and twenty years have gone by since our Class of ’34 graduated. Having been the Class Prophet of that year, I decided to look up all my old school mates and see how they have come along. By now our Gem City has grown to gigantic proportions and can be compared toalarge wheel with Dublin as the hub and as its suburbs, Wurno, Dublin and Radford, which, although really part of Pulaski, still go under their former names. Now, folks, all I know is what I read in the newspapers. I have here clippings taken from “News Briefs” of the Southwest Times during the past few weeks. By the way, the Times now has the widest circulation of any newspaper in the State. Well, here are the clippings: New York City (Special)- Robert Bocock, well known radio manufactur- er, has just been elected President of the National Broadcasting Company. Mr. Bocock is a graduate of Pulaski High School, Virginia, and has reached his high position by constant work. One of the featured stars of this net- work is Sherman Hall, who has recently replaced Bing Crosby and Rudy Yallee as radio’s most popular crooner. Mr. Hall’s program is sponsored by the Dunlop Tire Company, of which Mr. Woodrow Davis is the President. Wurno, Va. — Misses Dorothy Powell and Opal McCall report great success in their Department of Home Eco- nomics at the University of Wurno. Greensboro, N. C. — Mr. Charle s Bowles, Jr., who became a resident of this city in the summer of 1934 and entered the insurance business, was to- day made president of the Jefferson Standard Life Insurance Company.

Pulaski. — Mary Ellen Umberger, owner of the Umberger Department Stores of Chicago, New York, Phila- delphia, and Boston, as well as Pulaski, today announced a special introductory offer on a machine invented to scratch backs. The machine was created by Margaret Bane, who says that she often wished for such an instrument while attending school at P. H. S. Page Twenty-four THE ORIOLE Radford (Special) — Mr. Stephen Ham, well known lawyer of the State, has just won a major argument from his opponents. Mr. Ham has, after about twenty years of tireless efforts, proved that the counties of Virginia should adopt the plan of government provided for them in the Optional Forms Act of 1932. However, Mr. Ham states that his success is greatly due to the hard work of his secretary, Glen Ward. Dublin, Ya. (Special) — Miss Helen Elkins, manager of the Moderne Milli- nery Shop of the city, announces the arrival of the very latest styles from Paris. The new materials and dresses will be shown tomorrow by models Louise McNew and Ellen Jamison, as- sisted by Miss Nancy Hall, of Rich- mond. In connection with this event, Alma Hall, well known beauty specialist, will make special rates to her customers. New York City (Special).— Mr. David Ratcliff, President of the Blood- hound Bus Lines, today announced the purchase of ten new buses from the Whitaker Motor Corp., which special- izes in the manufacture of cars with hoods no less than six feet long.

Myron llayter was there, as usual, entertaining the spectators with his customary talk about the Junior girls of P. H. S. Chicago, 111. — Messrs. Jesse Smith and Bradie Kidd, owners of the Kidd- Smith School of Accountancy, were to- day awarded a national prize for their excellent work in their school.

L INGLES, a letter- man graduate from Hampden-Sydney, came to us from Belspring High, where he had spent the last year. ith only three letter men to begin the season, the rest green and in- experienced material to play the season’s games, success was hidden. But, however, a very successful year was accomplished according to the view- point of the coach and players. The mentor has high hopes for the forth- coming year, however. Marion, Narrows, Pearisburg, Radford, Galax, and Rural Retreat were the tough opponents of the comparatively light team. WOODROW DAVIS STEPHEN HAM... BILL WHITESELL. ANDREW- INGLES.

Although the majority of the games were lost the team feels that it has had a good year. Ratcliff, Palmer and Ham, outstanding players of the year, will not be back next year; Bowles, a reliable substitute, also will leave, but with good material to fill the vacancies the mentor feels that he will meet with more success in ' 35.

H. S. girls turned out in a large body for the practice sea- son called by Coach Andrew Ingles. With little hope of a successful year, but with line spirit and coopera- tion, the girls forgot their handicap of inexperience and played a fine game of basketball all through the season, winning over the strong Radford and Narrows sextet. No players will be lost this year and much is expected from the team next season. RUTH BOCOCK ANDREW INGLES Summary Captain . .
