THE ORIOLE PULASKI HIGH SCHOOL PULASKI VIRGINIA PUBLISHED BY SENIOR CLASS OF 1936 Fore wore, and Dedication F 7 0R FOUR years we have gone our way as com- rades, through joy and sorrow, through disap- pointments and attainments. If this Oriole, the record of our work and play at Pulaski High School, should in days to come, bring memories of precious hours we have spent together — recall our true friend- ship and companionship — we shall feel that our sincere efforts spent upon it have not been in vain. To To Pulaski Our Fathers W E, THE Senior Class of nineteen hundred and thirty-six, dedicate this, our Oriole, to the citizens of Pulaski, and to our fathers who have so graciously helped us during the past years and without whose cooperation we would have been unable to publish this edition. This is a small token of our appreciation.

DARST FORMER SUPERINTENDENT I NASMUCH as God has seen fit to take from us, on December 21, 1935, our friend and co-worker, E. L. Darst, Superintendent of Pulaski County schools, we, the Faculty of Pulaski High School, Pulaski, Virginia, desire to express our appreciation of his life among us. We, who were associated with him, bear our testimony to his consecrated fidelity in the discharge of the duties of his office. He was an educator of note and a counselor whose words were wise and considerate. He loved the truth, the right, the good. He was honest, sincere, smypa- thetic, and gentle. His lovable and cheerful disposi- tion made all who knew him love him. In a word, he was a dependable friend, a good citizen and a devout Christian. “His words were oaks in acorns; And his thoughts were roots That firmly gripped the granite truth.” Signed : Mrs. Chloe Carney, Miss Elizabeth Pugh, Miss Elizabeth Blair, Committee. ALMA MATER Tis not in vain that thou hast served To mold and make each mind; Thy children glorify thy name And worship at thy shrine. PULASKI In dedicating our annual to Pulaski, we feel that our town centers around our school, for, from it come the boys and girls that tomorrow will make the town either better or worse because of their association in the school.

CLASS MOTTO Forward ever; backward never. CLASS COLORS Blue and White. CLASS FLOWER Sweet Pea. Billy Aylor Aylor has a happy-go- lucky nature and never takes his troubles to heart. Helene Altizer There are so many nice things we could say about Helene. Because of her smile for everyone and her amiable disposi- tion she has been an asset to the Class of ’36. Lincoln Baugh Lincoln is our third baseman and we are sure he can hold down his position in life as well. Helen Boothe Laughing, mischievous Helen. How could we have gotten our Oriole completed if she hadn’t been Editor-in-Chief? J. B. Bocock J. B. is one of our steadiest athletes. His help in football will be missed. Edward Bowman “Abie” is one of these happy-go-lucky fellows. If you want to have fun just get around “Abie.” Irene Brown One who deserves the best in life is Irene, even though she is so very timid. Robert Carson Among the Seniors we had a talented tap- dancer and acrobat and didn’t know it until recently. My, how he can dance. Mary Cox Musical, jolly, and great literary ability. All these combined make a swell girl — Mary. Charlotte Clark Charlotte is one our dependable Seniors. Although very quiet and dignified she loves fun. She has a cheerful out- look and studies with a will. Trinkle Davis When it comes to han- dling money, Trinkle seems to be quite popu- lar. He is treasurer of the Senior Class and of the Boys’ Hi-Y. Virginia Eastman Virginia has many friends at P. H. S., being one of our very friendly girls, always with a gay and jolly disposition. Edward Dent Edward is our “ready to do” Senior. He shows this in his ability as a good business manager of The Oriole. Eunice Evelyn Hall Elkins A more sincere person could not be found than Eunice. Petite and timid, but a friend to all of us. She has made many friends at P. H. S. Elizabeth Hall “Wizz” is one of our “dignified” Seniors with which goes the title of Class Historian. Chester Hall Chester is always on hand whenever a joke is pulled. Louise Hylton Louise’s cheerful dis- position and ready laugh have won her many friends at P. H. S. Mary Jackson A most pleasing person- ality and a charming manner are marked characteristics of Mary. Once a friend she is always a friend. Herman Jones “Herm” will always be remembered for his willingness on the ath- letic field and in school We are sure his smile will carry him far. Mike Kegley Mike has made friends far and wide, by being President of the boys’ Hi-Y. Pauline Keister Who could be a truer friend than sweet, smiling Pauline? Kendall Kirkner Kendall, always peace ful but full of fun. Malcolm Long “Fowser” may not be handsome but he has a heart of gold: Russell Kirby When you feel blue just get around Russell and soon you’ll be laughing. Helen Long How could we have had our literary programs without Helen’s debates and readings? Walter Morehead Walter has been very unfortunate to miss a lot of school on account of illness. Ethel Morehead Ethel is one our most attractive and best liked Seniors, good hearted, liberal, full of spirit, and a personality that has won its way into our hearts. Harrell Morris Wallace Morehead Wallace, the one person who is always in a good humor, will leave a break that will be hard to fill in this Class of ’36. “Deacon” isour preacher of the Senior Class and where he is the sunshine will last. Bill Celia Macgill Mumpower Big, strong and good looking. All these make a good athlete and a good friend. Celia is an able leader as has been shown in her guidance of this, the largest class ever to graduate from P. H. S. Clark Owen When anyone is down in the dumps they al- ways seek out “Nine- bawl” who is our class comedian. He is always in the jolliest mood and will be missed by every one of us. Bob Painter A better “prop” could not be found for our class than Bob. He has been a success at P.H.S., and we know he will continue to be a success. William Patton “Hoggy” has very little to say but has proved a good man on the foot- ball field. Lee Pickerel Lee has stuck with us to the end, through trials and triumphs. Chester Richardson When we want some good music we just call in Chester, the best guitar player in the country. Helen Richardson When it comes to basket- ball Helen can’t be beat. She has a good disposi- tion and many friends. Margaret Quesenberry “Marge” is small and very dainty with a pleasing personality. We will never forget her good work on the basket- ball team. Norman Rauhof When it comes to ath- letics and fun Rauhof will always come on the run. Ruby Richardson Ruby is at school but half a day but while she is here she is happy and gay. Bill Rhudy Bill has a striking per- sonality, is a good athlete and student, and a friend to everyone. Nora Richards Quiet, unassuming, but jolly — that’s Nora.

Walter Runyon A good, steady student and always ready to lend a helping hand when it is most needed — that’s Walter. Agnes Schrader Agnes is short in statue but “Long” in mind. Garnett Schrader Garnett, it has taken you to make our Senior Class complete. May you go far. Clyde Ryan If “Bud” gets a start in life as early as he gets to school he will be all right. Walter Smith Walter’s record speaks for him — 20 units in 4 years show a steadiness that should take him far in life. Frances Snider Frances would not be Frances without her cheerful smile to help us on. Roswell Seagle Although Roswell is fond of sleeping, we don’t think it will inter- fere with his wonderful talent in music. Armenia Spangler Armenia is not as talka- tive as the rest of us, but through her quiet- ness we see one of the best friends of the school. Ethel Smith Ethel is one of our dependable, sincere Seniors. She has the best wishes of the class. James Steger “Tad” is one of our most popular Seniors, and we will certainly miss his winning smiles. Patty Dan Vier Umber ger John Sowers John is as good a captain as they make. He also brings us to school each day. “The most athletic girl in High School.” This title goes to Patty and she deserves it. Although Dan has not been with us as long as other students, he is one of our best friends and classmates. Alice Umberger Friendly and kind to us all — always a help, never a hinderance. Elsie Wade She’s lovely to look at and delightful to know. That’s Elsie. Virginia Vera Helen Wallner Ward Willis Virginia believes in the Generous and kind, Helen is one of our saying, “Laugh and the that’s Vera. She’ll go studious Seniors — she world laughs with you.” far in this world of ours. is our Valedictorian. HISTORY I F THE Pulaski High School viewed the arrival of one hundred and twenty-five new Freshmen with stares of amazement, we were so filled with importance over being in high school that we were entirely oblivious of the fact. What seemingly was an endless line of “rats” was soon divided into three groups, and we were seen all over the building searching for this or that class. Many of us took Latin — not because of the importance of the subject, but because it seemed very superior to say that we were studying a foreign language, knowing quite well that had it been Chinese we would have accepted it with the same point of view and interest. Our class officers were Edward Dent, President; Henry Morehead, Vice-President; Chester Hall, Secretary- Treasurer. In spite of our best efforts, some of us became so entangled in the ways of unfamiliar subjects — to say nothing of the search for the algebraic “x” — that in the fall of ’33 only seventy-six of us became Sophomores. Again we were divided into two classes — part of us being under the supervision of Miss Croswhite, the others under Miss Pugh. Our class officers for this year were Celia Mumpower, President; Elsie Wade, Vice-President; Walter Smith, Secretary-Treasurer. Being a Sophomore was not such an exciting state — it suggested just one more year of work because the Senior year seemed so far away. However, when seventy-four of us entered the Junior year this was the signal for new interests and enthusiasms. This marked the half-way point in our high school career, and we were given our choice of the academic or business courses. When we became Seniors, it was pleasing to find our class ranking as the largest in the history of the school. Miss Pugh is our Advisor; Celia Mumpower, President; Edward Bowman, Vice-President; Trinkle Davis, Treasurer; and Patty Vier, Sec- retary. Few weeks passed until we began to realize the work to be done in order to graduate and to publish our annual, The Oriole — a task as well as a pleasure and an opportunity to which we have looked forward for three years. To raise money for this purpose we have done everything from selling pencils and maga- zines to giving luncheons and a minstrel. With Miss Blair as Sponsor; Helen Boothe, Editor-in-Chief; and Edward Dent as Business Manager, we feel that our work has been marked with success and that The Oriole just issued is a credit to our class. This, our final year, has been a happy one. We have finished all the undertakings we started four years ago and have added to them the final touch of dignity. Our work here is completed but it all now seems a beautiful, happy memory. of four of the most important years of life, and is our basis for the accomplish- ment of things hereafter — things even more important for the glory of the Class of Thirty-six and for our Alma Mater. Elizabeth Hall. PROPHECY Pulaski, Va., June 10, 1946. My dear Miss Pugh: I am sending you this group of clippings which I have col- lected during the past ten years.

LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT W E, the Seniors, after our work in Pulaski High is done, do feel it is time for us to depart from these surround- ings which we have honored, loved, and cherished for the past eleven, twelve and fifteen years, and in departing do feel that it is necessary to bequeath to our underclassmen some of our honors, privileges, weaknesses and numbskullery. To Mr. Eckman, in return for his kindness, we will three new cars which must be kept in front of the building and be equipped with radios, heaters and horns that are guaranteed to blow loudly enough to disturb all classes, and are to be used strictly by Seniors who prefer their study halls in the wide open spaces.

S 82 FOOTBALL SUMMARY AS THE curtain rose in the fall of 1935, we had nine letter men with which to start building our football team. With Raymond Randall “ Rice, our new coach, who has held many football honors in previous years, we soon showed signs of becoming an invincible eleven. John Sowers, our captain, proved a fine player as well as being able to hold the team together with fine spirits. Winning 5 out of 8 games against strong opponents, we feel very successful in comparison to the teams of previous years. Although we lose 13 letter men this year, we are encouraged by the material left behind and the new material coming up under the leadership of “Jazz” Morehead who was elected captain of the 1936 team, we look for- ward to a season as successful as the past one.

We lost only one game to a high school, which gave us 10 victories out of 11 games. Seven members of the team graduate but we have a strong and experienced squad to take their places in 1937 — and are confident of the ability of Bobby Cecil, the new captain.

OPPONENTS 234 SUMMARY HE BOYS’ Basketball Team was not very successful this year due to inexperienced players and ineligibility. Its losing scores were usually close and in many cases the team outplayed its opponents. Captain Tad Steger with years of experience, proved to be an outstanding player. T Clinton Chumbley, the captain of the 1936 team, has a store of good material with which he will bring home a victory in every contest. EDWARD BOWMAN, Manager JAMES STEGER, Captain OUR FOOTBALL SQUAD of ' 35 By BILL RHUDY Our football squad of thirty-five Started out to fight, scrimmage, and drive. The School Board let us have the bus; So to get transportation there wasn ' t a fuss. Our first trip was to Rural Retreat, And did we give them a great defeat! Next came Vinton, where we had the most fun, For big Jazz Morehead made a long run. Then we met Pearisburg at Coleman Park; Our squad had them beat from the very start. At Wytheville we met our Waterloo, But wait! You haven ' t seen the season through. The trip to Narrows was a very sad story, For we came back without any glory. Then Hillsville we met in our home town, And here again we wore the crown. The score almost touched the sky When we defeated Fleming High. In the game with Radford we all kept charging, But at last were defeated by a very small margin. The squad thought it very nice To have such a coach as Raymond Rice. A successful season was brought to an end; This means the parting of football friends.

LITERATURE RADIO AT MY HOUSE M ORE THAN once when I have been in the middle of an English lesson I have heard the radio going full blast, a woman screaming for help, a pistol shooting, and a siren sounding — my little nephew enjoying “Dick Tracy, the Alan Hunter.” Such a situation not only is nerve racking but detracts your mind from what you are doing so that it is impos- sible to concentrate. Radios are terrible things sometimes. I, being a member of a rather large family, can say sincerely that a radio can be most annoying. In fact at times I wish we had no radio, and at other times I feel as if I would like to have one which I can always control. It is a usual thing in large families for each member to like something different in entertainment as well as in food, and so it is in my family. Aly father enjoys nothing but string music, his favorite program being the “Grand Old Opry” from W. S. AI. (Nashville) on Saturday nights. My mother has a flair for Sym- phony Orchestras. My sister likes classical music. My little nephew likes drama, while I like only jazz. It seems as if every time I turn the radio on a good jazz orchestra some one in the family will have in mind another program he wants to hear and just must get. Then I think if we only had a radio for each one I could get what I wanted, but I realize this is impossible as my father is no John D. Rockefeller, and besides with eight radios, my home would be a tower of Babel. If I can’t hear what I like I would rather not hear anything. Our radio seems to have more static than anything else. It buzzes, pops and cracks continually. Just as soon as I tune in on Glenn Gray or Guy Lombardo the radio starts its popping and cracking. At first I did not know what caused this. I thought perhaps the aerial or the ground wire was loose, but upon inspecting I found this not to be the case. I soon despaired of finding the trouble, so my only recourse was to cut the radio off. Later I found that when the wind was blowing the limbs of a tree would strike the aerial. Our radio, being an antique, is different from most radios. I find that switching the aerial and ground wire changes the volume. The family insists upon getting “Lum and Abner” when I want Kate Smith, but I fix this. I change the wires, reducing the volume so that “Lum and Abner” will not come in. Mother says there is something funny about this, but still she really doesn’t suspect the cause. After all, this operation does me very little good. Mother insists upon turning off the radio because she doesn’t think the program is interesting. Ruby Richardson — ' j6. PARODY (. Breathes there a man with soul so dead — Scott) Breathes there a girl with hair so straight Who never makes her fellow wait Until she combs each tangled strand — Who never has to stop and pose To rough her lips and powder her nose Or manicure each tiny hand? If such there be, then praise her well, Because I think she’s simply “ swell ” — Slender waist-line, well rounded hips — Lustrous lashes, carmine lips — Without her make-up, figure, or pose, She looks like heck in her tight-fitting clothes. Make-up can give you a dash and a swirl, But only the brain can make the girl. And those who marry a powder puff Find it ' s all they ' ve got — and it ain ' t enough! Mary Cox — ’j6. CARELESSNESS Joe wouldn ' t listen, look, or stop. They towed his “ flivver to the shop. It didn ' t take a week or two To make the car look good as new; But though they hunted high and low They found no extra parts for Joe. Eunice Hall — ’j6. A DIARY (IN IMMITATION OF SAMUEL PEPYS) March 17, 1936. Up betimes this morning and as I did see Big Ben had only seven thirty o’clock, did turn upon my other side and sleep soundly. Awoke again and did find a most satisfactory odor of coffee assailing my nostrils whereupon I did rise and drink of the beverage. I did notice rain pouring most heavily, whereupon did don my cloak and school ward, but upon finding school dis- missed did trod to Bunn’s Sweete Shoppe where I did while the time away. Thence homeward and dined. Returned to the rain again charitymissioning with honorable father. An aged mulatto did complain bitterly that the heaven-sent water did damage his humble domicile until the lower floor did flood, whereupon noble parent did reply, “You must thank God you are a Baptist,” and I did laugh heartily. Homeward to partake of evening re- past, thence to a theatre where I did most enjoy performance of Shirley Temple in “The Littlest Rebel,” and so to bed. Easter Sunday — April 12, 1936. Upon having a disturbing dream did awake and was most glad to find myself alive. Did breakfast at six o’clock, thence to the Sunrise Service which I did think most beautiful but did cause me to yawn all day. Did then breakfast again and betook mineself to Sunday school, thence to church where I did accept the Holy Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper. Homeward to dine, whereupon I did visit on an old acquaintance whom I had not seen for years. Back again to dine and did then render to a small audience a duetwith mydearsisterjthence to Bunn’s Sweete Shoppe and until did become bored. Homeward, and so to bed. April 13, 1936. Up betimes and did haste me to school. Did work on English all through History class as I did not want Miss Bondu- rant to reward my efforts with a zero. In English class she did seem to appreciate my honest labor and did reward me most highly. After military-drilling my squad at recess, did journey Bunn’s Sweete Shoppeward, as usual, to drink a Coca-Cola. Home and lunched. Back to school, and was most surprised to find Miss Blair, French teacher, yet absent. Was more surprised to see Mr. Eckman struggling along in her place. French class over, I did trod homeward, and the weather being most warm and beautiful, I did trod slowly and gather violets. Supped, and did attend a meeting of our Junior Music Club. Homeward, and so to bed. April 14, 1936. Up very late and did betake myself to school half-dressed. Did endure History and English class with a right good will but for relief did rush to Tyler’s where I did consume a Coca-Cola. Homeward, dined, and returned to French class, still under direc- tion of Hon. Mr. Eckman. After school did go to visit a neighbor child who is in ill health. Supped, bathed and scoured my hair, and so to bed. Did arise reluctantly and was most sleepy. Journeyed school- ward, and was little surprised to note that perhaps 90 per cent of the male population was absent. This reminded me that fishing season opened today. After classes did journey home- ward and prepare supper. Did clean the dishes, and so to bed. Mary Cox — ’36. THE TRAILING ARBUTUS The very wake of spring will bring The fragrance of the flowers, So sweet it always seems to cling Among the lofty towers. Around the trunks of stumps and trees This creeping flower is found, And whispering softly to the bees Makes neither move nor sound. It seems as though long suffering years Have made its soul so kind, Til ' every creature, bird or beast, Is welcomed by this vine. For its two colors it selected The loveliest of the soil, And now the pink and white erected Live on through days of toil. Dorothy Kidd — ’38. WHAT ' S THE USE OF WORRYING? W E ALL like a good joker, do we not? It makes little difference what kind of predicament we get into if we have a jolly fun-maker along with us. A flat tire, for instance, becomes only an origin for a series of side-splitting remarks. A witty happy-go-lucky is the first necessity in a crowd which is out for fun. It takes someone above the ordinary to be a joker. Along with his being quick-thoughted he must be able to throw off his own worries and then rid the other fellow of his thoughts about hardships. Likewise, it takes someone above the ordinary to worry — at any rate to worry a great deal. He ignores little witty or foolish remarks and ponders over things about which the usual person would think little or nothing. Naturally we do not want to be pessimists and with a square face always look on the dark side of everything, but we very often benefit from a little worry. We all do our part of worrying. For instance, we can refer to our classes in school. Many of us worry a little all along through the semester while a few prefer to sleep or play all of this time and as a result, wake up just before examinations and do their part. Doubtless we profit by these experiences because they show us beginnings of what we shall be forced to face in later life. What ' s Ihe use of worrying? It never was worth while; So, pack up your troubles in your old kit bag and Smile! Smile! Smile!” We have all heard the little cheer-up song from which these lines were take. Obviously the song is intended for those un- happy soldier boys who bravely face the horrors of war. Not many of these soldiers could “pack up their troubles in an old kit bag,” but some people worry about such simple, little things that it does seem that their worries could be packed away in a con- tainer of this size. According to my opinion negroes are the happiest people in the world. Most of them care little for luxuries. A negro woman’s jewelry, as a general rule, consists of a pair of the “most expensive” of Roses’ or any other store of like valuables, and “gold earrings.” I know nothing of the negro men’s luxuries. Probably this is about how much most of them know about such things. It seems that negroes take more interest in their work for us than they do in their work for themselves. In the kitchen old fat Sue finds the things which her mistress grumbles about just mere trifles. And, Yum! Yum! can she fix some “country messes — not unlike those neat-handed Phyllis dresses.” Out in the fields old Uncle Noak proves a hatful of fun for his co-workers and passers-by — in fact anyone who is interested. But, the joy of the whole negro generation overflows when watermelons go “plunk.” I wish to join in on the chorus with the happy-go-luckies of the world by saying that there is no use of worrying. Let’s all join in and “laugh and grow fat,” or probably some of us had better say, “laugh and stay fat.” Helen Willis — ’j6. MEDITATION I am no good at writing; I have no pen or ink. But give me an hour within a cool bower And I ' ll show you how to think. I love to sit to ponder Upon a question dear — What is this life , with its love and strife ? The answer is yet to appear. I know in this wide world over There ' re people who gaily sing — They never mourn , or look forlorn, Nor think what tomorrow may bring. To see the light of Heaven, I hope they ' ll cast their heads up And open their eyes, and look with surprise Upon a new day of hope. The light is slowly dimming, I no longer see the hill. The sun is gone; I linger on — I sit and ponder still. Garnett Schrader — ' j6. DREAMS VERYONE dreams — foolish, vain dreams that can never i . be realized, or sane, beautiful dreams that inspire one to the height of ambitions. Rich or poor, young or old, we all have our dreams of better days to come and of the happiness of the past. The young girl’s dreams are a mixture of orange blossoms and wedding bells, of gallant Romeos and cottages by the sea. Her dreams — beautiful dreams without a fear of the future. The youth — with visions of the day when he will be a chief executive in the business world, with wealth, luxuries, and can afford to go to his dream girl and lay his heart and fortune at her feet. Gay, bright indefinite dreams of the young. Dear Aunt Mary, never married, but with a few hopes left still she dreams foolish, vain dreams as she gazes into the mirror and thinks how young she looks for one of forty-odd years. The dreams of the old — scattered, twisted dreams. Poor grandfather has little to dream of as he slowly reaches the end of his journey. His dreams are of the past — of battles fought and won, of daring adventures of which he laments and wonders that none cares to hear of them — little realizing that their dreams are not his. Dreams are the most important things in one’s life, the young fearlessly facing the future because of them; the old spending their last days joyously and happily with them. With- out dreams we would have no aim in life or no desire to live. Louise Stuart — ’j8. FACES Comforting and soothing as a warm summer ' s day, Cheerful and happy as a child at play, Chilling and hurting as a dog ' s quick bite, Dark and gloomy as a cold wintry night — All of these make up a face, Sometime or other, somewhere, someplace. A rmenia Spangler — ' j6. THE IMPORTANCE OF TIME BIG, powerful car roars down the highway toward the airport. If the gentleman in the back seat does not reach New York by evening, or before the offices close for the day, he will not be able to close a deal that may mean thousands of dollars for him. The plane takes off from San Francisco, California, around eight o’clock in the morning and before six that evening it is coming in for a landing at New York. The man fulfills his requirements and signs the contract. Today time means no more to the American people than it did fifty or seventy-five years ago. But today with our modern equipment in communication and in transportation more of our time is being used because we have more things to do. A person should never spend an idle minute. If he has nothing to be doing, his time should not be wasted. There are not many people today who do waste their time. To a person when he has nothing else to do, reading is very profitable, if it is the right kind of reading, because it affects nearly every phase of life. I believe that time is the most important element in modern civilization. Still, even if this is true, time is not so important as to try to beat a red light to try to save a few minutes or to race a train to a crossing or to speed through a school zone. This type of time saving causes many deaths and although time is important, all traffic rules and cautions to slow down this life, should be obeyed. A RE TEACHERS sane? I’ve often wondered. If not actually insane they are, at best, “idiotically sane with “ “lucid intervals of lunacy.” These clear moments are few without a vestige of a heart, or they may be victims of insomnia, whose sleepless nights cause them to get their grades mixed up; they often dish me out an “E” or an “F.” Sometimes these machines slip a cog and lose out for a week or two. Other times they merely lose a needle and their voice Edward Dent — ' 36. ARE TEACHERS SANE? and far between. They must be some kind of educated machines becomes hoarse and raucous. I’ve often heard them shout “Beware the ides of March,” “I come to bury Caesar,” “The quality of mercy is not strained,” etc. Such idiotic phrases do not make sense to me. Who, or what was ides} What and how much was the quality of mercy, and who in the world was that guy, Caesar? In these periods of insanity you must treat the teachers indulgently and listen meekly; otherwise they may become en- raged and positively violent, in which case you may be sure of and “E” or an “F.” But after all’s said and done you should treat these poor teachers kindly because they must have a hard time trying to keep their so-called knowledge intact. Poor souls, I pity them wonder if I’ll ever be a teacher. Garnett Schrader — ' j6. THE BARK OF A SQUIRREL Most of you long for summer to come , And make plans for things you ' ll do When there ' s no more school , and that old swimming pool Seems to beckon to each of you. But give me those days when the summer fades And the frost on the ground does spark, Out before dawn , I listen and long To hear that old squirrel bark. Each nerve is taut as a banjo string, A s I sit there numb with cold, But I can ' t resist when I hear that call. It affects both young and old. So you may have your summer days And listen to the song of the lark, But as for me, I ' ll take the ones When I hear the old squirrel bark. Chester Hall — ' j6.

Elizabeth Bowman — I’ll bite, how? Mary C. Eskridge — Nothing over ten cents. Miss Dalton — Bill, tell me all you know about nitrates. Bill Macgill (sleepily) — Well, they are a lot cheaper than day rates. Miss Kinder — Why do we speak of ghosts in Latin? Lincoln Baugh — Because Latin’s a dead language. Herman Jones — Mary, do you play by ear? Mary Cox — No, my neck is not long enough. Bobby Cecil — Say, C. J., if you had five bucks in your pocket, what would you think? C. J.

When Mr. Eckman was visiting in New York he was entertained at dinner by a group of business and professional men, and in turn enter- tained the crowd by telling some choice anecdotes in his own inimi- table way. A lawyer who was present con- tinually walked up and down the room with his hands in his pockets. Finally he stopped and turned to the speaker. “You are the first person I have ever heard tell a funny story.” “Thanks,” said Mr. Eckman, smiling, “I ' ll return the compli- ment. You are the first lawyer I have ever seen with his hands in his own pockets.” I N THIS annual we feel that the staff has for the first time stepped a little off the beaten path in attempting something that is not just a stereo of foregoing annuals. We wish to commend them for this. A word as to the motive of this endeavor. One sees every- where sc-called modernistic art in design of our every-day neces- sities, be they match boxes or cars. Behind all this is an attempt to bring out some spirit to identify these articles or to facilitate their uses. So in designing this annual we have by the use of lines and dots and irregular spacing attempted to increase the enjoyment of the pages of this annual and to bring the main points of interest in each page to the fore. white and glenn building, pulaski, va. david c. kent ADVERTISEMENTS We wish hereby to acknowledge our appreciation to our many friends who have subscribed to this section of our book; and to heartily recommend that you read it.
