PULASKI PRINTING COMPANY PULASKI, VIRGINIA THE ORIOLE VOLUME XVIII SEASON 1938-39 PULASKI HIGH ORIOLE BREAKS THE NEWS ! ! ! For First Time The Oriole Uses Ideas As Seen In Daily Press. It was the plan of the staff to reduce the size of the Oriole this year. But in so doing we feel we have not lowered the standard of former Orioles, but inaugurated a policy whereby the continuation of the Oriole may be more hopefully antici- pated by succeeding classes. We wished also, to choose a new type or style of book that would be interesting to every student. One main motive was to portray the most cherish- ed happiness so that all the students might look back with pleasure. In order to fulfill this plan just mentioned, two things were done. We chose to make this book on the order of the most widely read and followed type of reading today which is the newspaper. As is known, there is some part of a news- paper to interest every individ- ual. Some look first for the sports page, others, the reports of their clubs, and still others, the front page news. So in the Oriole this year one can find easily that which most inter- ests him. And the second thing was to put more emphasis on pictures. The outstanding feature of any newspaper is the pictures, and it was our idea to bring the school life closer to the students by the pictures which w e have used. In this book there are many good pictures, contributed by the students, which should be of interest to everyone, and which cover the scholastic and social activities of the year. Staff Takes Pleasure In Presenting 1939 Oriole In Three Sections. ORIOLE STAFF DECIDES PLAN-- At their first meeting, the Class, working together, have Oriole Staff decided to change produced a great book, and the the Oriole in order to make it Staff wishes to express its ap- less expensive, and much more interesting. Using the newspaper as their model, they carefully shaped and p’anned the Oriole in accordance with the news- paper. Because a newspaper has many pitures. the Staff spon- sored a snapshot contest, in which any student of the school could participate, enter- ing any picture of school life or school activity. The Staff was very disappointed, howev- er, at the lack of interest that was shown. Few pictures were entered, and they wish to high- ly commend all those students who tried and did enter pictures, ev- en though they couldn’t be used. It will be noticed that this Oriole has been divided into sec- tions, such as sports, news and society, there b y foil owing the newspaper model. The Staff and the entire Senior preciation for the cooperation it has received in planning and producing the Oriole of 1939. The Staff was pleased to know that an Oriole would be produced this year, for a year has passed since the last Ori- ole was printed. Thereby we have set a precedent, although we have kept the name of the Oriole, because of its signifi- cance, representing the school colors. We felt that the chang- ing of the book was enough and that the name could not be changed. The Senior Class felt that it would do its best if we could only have the Oriole this year. The Staff was elected, and we started work to produce an an- nual entirely dif- ferent. and one of more interest to the entire school. We have produced the Oriole, and we feel that it sur- passes all previ- ous Orioles. This Oriole has been in our minds for quite a time. For the past four years we have worked and planned. Then, this year, we entered the Senior Class ready to work, and to give our time to make this the best pro- duction that there has ever been. We ' ve enjoyed every mo- ment of work, and we feel that we have done our best to pro- duce a book that will be of in- terest to each and every one of our readers. Since each indi- vidual has a favorite topic, or subject, which he prefers to read, we have divided this Ori- ole in that form. To do so. we selected the style of a news- paper, since that contains sports, news, society, and pic- tures. And we wish to point out that these pictures were taken by members of the student body, of other students in P. H. S., for the Oriole. We realize that each of us can look at these pictures, years from now and be carried back to the joyful days when we were Sen- iors, and working hard on this book. We ' ve had to work, and we ' ve had a rough time, but with every member of the staff helping, we’ve seen bits of sun- shine, even in the darkest moments. The staff takes pleasure in presenting the News Section, the Sports Section, the Picture Secion of the Newspaper Edi- ion of the Oriole, ’39. We’re proud of Our Book, and we are sure you will enjoy reading it as much as we have enjoyed making it. Long live the Ori- ole! PAGE TWO + SEASON OF 1938 1939 THE ORIOLE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Betty Jordan Betty Jordan as Editor-in- Chief of the Oriole and Presi- dent of the Girl’s Hi-Y, has proven her executive ability by filling each of these offices cap- ably. As Editor-in-Chief of the Oriole of ' 39 her energy and good spirits seemed boundless. She was always willing to lend a helping hand and give a cheery word to all. Betty’s leadership has again been shown in the successful way in which she led the local Hi-Y in entertaining the state convention here last fall. Notwithstanding these extra curricular activities she is one of the first honor students for the first semester. Her pleasing personality has won her many lasting friends. APPRECIATION To the art contributors, the members of the “Oriole” staff are greatly indebted. Through original sketches of their novel and varied ideas, they have added a unique and distinctive touch to this year’s Annual. Into their unusual drawings, they have unwittingly woven the precious thread of the true and undying spirit of Pulaski High, and, by their excellent portrayal of incidents in school life, have emphasized to a great extent the natural trend of P. H. S. personalities. They have exercised their artistic talent to the best of their ability in this field, and have done a great deal toward beautifying the 1939 Oriole. We are proud of them, and we deeply appreci- ate their unfailing cooperation and faithful interest which has played so great a part in the success of bis year book. ART EDITOR BUSINESS MANAGER Kalima, as the Art Editor of our Oriole, has proved her effi- ciency not only as leader but also as an artist. Under her ex- pert leadership and through her untiring efforts we have se- cured a number of original and attractive drawings for our an- nual. These drawings bring the days at P. H. S. closer to us and make the events stand out more clearly in our minds. We feel that we owe a lot to Kalima for all she has done to get these sketches that have helped to make our annual more original and superior than ever before. As business manager of the Oriole, Arnold has proven himself very capable. He also held other responsible offices in his class. He accepted his re- sponsibilities cheerfully, nev- er grumbled about the many things he had to do. His re- sponsibilities were ones of great importance and which require honesty, a keen business sense, and diplomacy Through his splendid char- acter, many of us have gained new inspirations. His spirit seems to be indomitable. With- out Arnold we would have been at a loss in many ways. Kalima Dalton Arnold Lester FOREWORD To present the school year in an interesting and unique manner, yet to build a memorial, not for the present but for the future — one that will recall the associations, happy hours, activities and the proud achievements of the students and Old P. H. S. — has been the endeavor of the 1939 ORIOLE ASST. BUS. MANAGER Bill Dent Without Bill we could hardly have put out our Oriole. He has worked hard to make it a success, and it can truthfully be said that what ever credit the Oriole might receive Bill large- ly shares it. Whenever our spirits were low, it was always Bill’s wit that once more made it easier to go on. In working on our Oriole Bill has shown us that he pos- sessed executive ability and business sense that few people (even older people) possess. He also found time to take a responsible part in the play. “Lady Spirfire,” which netted the Oriole $50.00. Once more Bill helped with the stage equipment, lights, etc., and al- so skillfully portrayed a part which hardly anyone could have played so well. Bill is a student of which any school would be proud. One that will be missed and one that has been a credit to Pulaski High School. ORIOLE STAFF Much credit should be giv- en to our assistant editors for all the work and time spent on helping to make our Oriole a success. They were always ready and willing to help when they were needed and we could depend upon them to do the job assigned them, to the best of their ability. Without the cooperation of the assistants we could not have made a success of the Ori- ole. We also wish to express our appreciation to all others who helped with the Oriole in any way. ‘ THE ORIOLE SEASON OF 1938 1939 PAGE THREE PRINCIPAL SPONSOR Miss Elizabeth Blair Miss Blair has truly been a friend in deed — a friend in need. Through all our trials in producing an Ori- ole of which w e coul ' d b e j, proud, she has helped us and done much more than her part. She has always made us feel that we could come to her with our problems and that she would help us solve them. Ev- er patient with us through all our mistakes we made, Miss Blair has meant more tc ' us than we have shown and, per- haps realized. We want to thank her now for what she has been to us and done for us. All in all — Miss Blair’s a peach. THE FACULTY Many times in life we meet with things that are so nice that words just can’t express our appreciation f.o r them This is the way we feel about our faculty, and the efforts they have put forth for our benefit. Through their work and sacrifice for us we have achieved what education we now have, and many thanks to them for their fine work. When clouds are hanging low and we are left groping in the dark, our faculty has al- ways managed to see through the mist and find a bright side for us. Such personalities as por- trayed by our faculty are not found in every school. We feel fortunate that we can boast of such a splendid faculty and principal. We seniors greatly appreciate the privilege of having as our principal Mr. Eckman, a man well fitted for the leadership of young people. Having an inter- est in young people, Mr. Eck- man, through his work with them has developed a great un- derstanding of the needs and problems of the student. He is ever ready to extend a guiding hand to all and to mani- fest sympathy for their desires and an infinite patience with them in their mistakes and shortcomings. As we leave our Alma Ma- ter and assume our places in the world we shall long remember our happy associations with him and ever strive toward those goals set for us by his no- ble example and precept. Mr. Hensel Eckman COACH Mr. Bowers came to us from Chilhowie, Virginia where he had coached for the past two years with great success. Mr. Bowers has a well round- ed eduation, having attended three different Universities prior to his graduating from Emory and Henry College in ’36. This versatile fellow pos- sesses a great amount of ingenu- ity and initiative and a fight- ing heart that never knows de- feat. His ability to adapt himself to all circumstances and his willingness to cooperate have given him a permanent pl ace in our hearts. Mr. Warren Bowers DEDICATION Behind each of us there is a sweet influence like flowers, which lightens all our darker hours — it is the influence of Our Mothers — these pages are set apart to honor them. The Oriole is lovingly dedicated to Our Mothers SENIOR TEACHER Miss Margaret E. McDonald Miss Margaret Elizabeth McDonald came to us from Roanoke, and we now think of her as one of us. She has a rare sense of humor, is modest in demeanor, and is pleasing in personality. Miss “Me” is sin- gularly gifted as a teacher in English. Nothing daunts her, and she is endowed with the ability to lead others. Alert, well poised, and ready for any emergency, she’s made a de- lightful teacher. Seniors have gladly followed her guidance and under her leadership the work of the Senior Class has been built and strengthened. Her quiet, steadfast faith in days of trial has been a bene- diction to us. Not one to be satisfied with doing any work halfway, she is somehow able to transmit this admirable trait to others to inspire them to greater achievements. Verily Miss “Me.” worketh with her hands and her heart. A LITTLE WORK A little work, a little play To keep us going — and so, good-day ! A little warmth, a little light Of love”s bestowing — and so good night! A little fun, to match the sor- row Of each day’s growing — and so, good-morrow! A little trust that when we die We reap our sowing! And so good-bye! — by George du Maurier PAGE FOUR SEASON OF U938 1939 Miss Laura Dalton No one can ex- plain to us the dif- ficult subjects of Chemistry an ' d Sci- ence as well as Miss Dalton does. She is one of our schools most ardent teachers. Miss Katherine Michael Personality? Yes. and plenty of it and she ceftainly does know her Commerci- al course. You can’t help but enjoy her classes. M iss Crystal Frye You can have a good time in the con- genial atmosphere of her classes, but you also know what the lesson is all about when the class is dis- missed. Miss Frances Foster Miss Foster is very energetic i n matters concerning current events as her students will testify. She has proven a most valu- able friend to all of us. THE ORIOLE Mr. Warren Bowers You may always! be assured that ath- letics will be the best type when there i s someone with a fine personality backing them like Mr. Bow- ers. He has shown his skill in this his first year as coach. Mr. Foy Au c t His winning smile and striking person- ality has fitted well i n the faculty these two years. Also his vo ratio n a 1 training has been a great asset to many stud- ents in finding posi- tions. Miss Elizabeth Painter Miss Painter has won many friends at P. H. S. even though she has been here this one year. Mr. Richard Daughtrey Even though he is a new comer there is a lot that can be said — School S p i r i t? Yes, nothing less for Mr. Daughtrey. Miss Elizabeth Blair Enough can’t be said about the guidance of our spon- sor. We have found her to be a “real” friend, com- panion and advisor. Miss Mary Helen Croswhite We all have a very affec- tionate regard for Miss Crosswhite, who has fas- cinated many classes with the lectures on bugs an ' d frogs. Mr. Hensel Eckman Faithfully instructing us along the correct paths. Mr. Eckman has guided us these four years. Miss Elizabeth McDonald One word describes her — ■ — “Cute” — We Seniors have found her to be com- petent as she is cute. Miss Lynwood Kinder Although serious in her teaching she has a cheer- ful outlook. We feel she has accomplished much with her debating and public speaking teams and we hope she will do as well in the future. F 1 : Si !: k j, tl � ' t t k = ■S ' e THE ORIOLE SEASON OF 1938 1939 if PAGE FIVE HISTORY OF PULASKI SCHOOLS The history of the High School is rather obscure and it was only through the help and assistance given by Mr. Eck- man, Mrs. Woolling, Mr. Frank Wysor, Mr. and Mrs. K. V. Brugh, Mr. Cooley, Mrs. Purvis and Dr. J. L. Kent that the data could be compiled. To these we offer our sincere thanks. Many students have gone in and out the doors of Pulaski High School but few know much about its history. It is our purpose to better acquaint its students with the school and to hope that in doing so it may endear it to each one. The red brick school house that was on the corner of Fourth Street and Randolph Avenue, was built about the first part of the early nineties. This school was combined with the grades and the high school, and sometimes the courses of each were said to overlap due to the small num- ber of students attending. Some of the principals there were: Mr. Russel ' ,, Mr. Darst. and Mr. C. B. Tate, uncle of W. P. Tate. Mrs. R. H. Woolling taught at this school. Also Miss Ju- lia Leache, who now resides in Roanoke. Miss Virginia Stone taught there from 1900-1906. She is now one of the out- standing teachers of the United States. Mrs. Andrew Gemmell was one of the teachers and her daughter, Hartensia, who did much to help put over the lib- rary, graduated from Randolph Macon and is now studying for her master’s degree at Co- lumbia. The first graduating class was composed of six girls. Among these were: Mrs. James Graham, the former Mary Lou Campbell now living in Wytheville; the late Mary Stewart, Dr. Pauline William- son who is now head of the health department of the Met- ropolitan Life Insurance Com- pany of New York, and Dr. Williamson is also on the board of trustees at Hollins College, Mary Thomas, at this time dean of a college in Wil- liamsburg, Ky. f Miss Ida Howard, now Mrs. Childs, of Orlando, Fla., sister of Mrs. Agnes Tilson. Mr. E. T. Howard, and Mrs. Robert Crabtree are ALMA MATER We’re proud of you , dear P. H. S. Of the orange and the black , Your symbols stand for all that’s true There’s nothing that you lack. May you ever be triumphant Your spirit never grave And may your glorious colors With honor ever wave. May your children e’er be loyal Your causes ever just- May time n’er dim your standards Nor dull your guilded lust. among those who attended this school. The first person to take an interest and the one who did the most to put the high school on its feet was Miss Frederica Stone from Roanoke, who taught here several years. This old school was torn down in 1934. The site of the Nunnley apartments on Sixth Street was once the site of an Episcopal church, but because of the defective heating system the church caught fire and burn- ed. A school was then built on this site where Mrs. Sayers taught a private school. Mr. E. J. Cooley was principal of this school from 1911-14. On January 1, 1915, $50,- 000 was borrowed to build the present Pulaski High School. The site was once used for horse show grounds with grand stands along Main Street. The first pricipal was Mrs. Sayers. A p’acque has been placed by the alumni in the hall of the school in her mem- orv. Next Mr. Anderson was nrincipal — 1917-18, then Mr. Fitzpatrick, now residing in Radford, a Mrs. Thomas was nrincipal about the time with Mr. Gresham following in 1919-20. Mr. Elliott followed Mr. Gresham and was orin- rioal in 1921-22. Next K. V. Brugh followed Mr. Elliott, the years of bis nrincipalsbip being from 1922-27. Mr. Eck- man became princinal at this time and has remained so to this present day. The High School students in the future will have more opportunities than they have had heretofore. In recent years several new subjects and courses have been added to the curricu ' um. such as the commercia ' course, in- cluding shorthand, typing, and bookkeeping, which was add- ed in 1928. Then, in Septem- ber 1937, the occupational sci- ence course was started. This enables students to attend school, and work at the same time: that is, training them for their future work. It is espe- cially designed to help those who do not plan to attend co 1 - lege. Mr. Aust has a large class of Seniors and Juniors, and he has beautifully equip- ped a special room for this study. j There will also be a gym- nasium with a seating capacity of 500 erected? behind) the school for use next year. History of the Class of ' 39 as Written by Nancy Mitchell to Former Student of Pulas- ki High. Dear Judy: It is indeed a privilege for me to have the pleasure of writing the history of our Sen- ior Class for you. I was more than thrilled when you asked me to do it. And here it is, or at least, as much as I can re- member. You may have to check up on me sometimes, Judy, for you know I have a mighty poor memory. I imagine the three room teachers, in our Freshman year. Miss Dalton, Miss Bon- durant, and Miss Frye, thought we wejre making a great beginning, for we had 137 members. Our teachers were very patient with us, but I still don’t see how they stood it. We had only four subjects, and two blessed study halls! Remember? We didn’t study very much, either, and perhaps that was our fatal move. Only 78 of us were divided between Miss Kinder and Miss Croswhite, in our next year. We still didn’t study, and we had a very hard time. Tres- sa Peters came to us from Pear- isburg, and we welcomed her with open arms. She’s added much encouragement to this class. Then 64 Juniors went to Miss Blair for French and to Miss Gardner for the commer- cial course. It ended with both classes being very small. Last year we had four more stud- ents to join us — Anne Cruise, from Hillsville; Ercel Ryan, from Woodlawn; Nick Ogles- by, from Draper, and Ernest Tolley from Radford. They have certainly done a great deal to make the journey easier and more pleasant. But the sad part came, dear Judy, when we found we would have to give you up. It was a sad, sad time. But we did survive until this year, when 50 came into Miss McDonald’s room. And I’m sure you would like her, for she is a darling. Besides our new teacher, we had two new students — Joan- ne Richardson, from Eggles- ton, and Sarah Elizabeth Ever- ett, of Bluefield. West Virginia, joined us. And Judy, we had three post - graduate students with us — Tom Painter, of Draper; Ruth Martin, of Gary, W. Va., and Helen Walker, John’s wife. We en- joyed having these students for they helped us a lot. We only wish that they could have started in high school with us. We lost a student, Thelma Parks, and how she was miss- ed! Our class officers were; Henry Lee Albert, our capable president, who worked right along with us; Donald More- head, vice-president, whom we couldn’t have done without; Audrey Williams, who was a most efficient secretary, and Arnold Lester, the treasurer, proved himself to be a very fine financier. Dan Hinson was our very able reporter. We are proud to say that the Editor-in-chief of the Ori- ole-Chirps,” our school news- paper, was Rebecca Hiltzheim- er, and she really made it a suc- cess. Last came our crowning glory — The Orio’e! We had to work. We had candy sales, a “Grand Ole Opry,” and a snap-shot contest, and we couldn’t have done it without Continued in 3rd Section, Page 33 FAREWELL The ship of life sails onward. Few clouds across the sky. And another group takes passage At the port, Pulaski High. Their high school days are over; On the topmost decks they stand.

This being the first time in ten years that Pulaski had been host to the confer- ence. The scene of this auspicious occasion was the spacious Elks ' Club, appropriately deco- rated in the club colors, red white, and blue. Enhanced by the varied colored gowns of the girls, the spectacle was en- tirely glamorous. Miss Jeanne Hall, outgoing state president, was becomingly gowned in maroon velvet and wore a shoulder corsage of Talisman roses. Miss Hall is to be congratulated on her successful term as state presi- dent. She executed her duties faithfully and diligently, win- ning much favorable comment and praise for the charming manner with which she under- Bcluoxd ActuUti i With A Punch!-- took and performed the most difficult tasks. Miss Betty Jordan, presi- dent of the focal club, was at- tractively attired in a fovely gown of turquoise and wore a shoulder corsage of Talisman roses. Miss Jordan, too, has proven very successful in her role as president. Several fine projects have been completed because of her splendid leader- ship and executive ability. Dainty refreshments con- sisting of punch, cookies, and ice cream, were served through- out the evening — the punch bowl proving the most popu- lar center. Dancing was enjoyed by ap- proximately 150 guests and friends from ten to twelve, with the music furnished by the Southwest Virginians, who were ably directed by Bob Wallace, one of the founders of the orchestra. Several members of the fac- ulty and a few patrons serv- ed as chaperones. In the picture, at left, may be seen Miss Isabel Gilmer who is ladleing punch, in the background is Miss Elizabeth McDonald, Senior Class spon- sor. ★ ★ HI-Y DANCE PROVES FESTIVE OCCASION ★ In a precarious position on a lofty pinnacle, the Oriole pho- tographer, Bill Dent, viewed the fovely dance given by the local Boys’ Hi-Y Club for the visiting delegates at the Girls’ Hi-Y Conference, which met in Pulaski November 4 and 5. This was the first time in ten years Pulaski has had the pleas- ure of entertaining and being host to the conference. For this noteworthy occas- ion the Elks’ Club very graci- ously donated its hall which was most attractively and effec- tively decorated in the Hi-Y colors, red, white and blue. Guests were received and welcomed by Miss Jeanne Hall, state president, Miss Betty Jor- dan, local president, and Mrs. Carson Dalton, sponsor. They were then directed to a beauti- fully decorated table where Miss Isabel Gilmer, gowned in a becoming creation of red crepe, ladled punch. Miss Gil- mer was assisted by a commit- tee of local Hi-Y girls. Music for the occasion was furnished by The Southwest Virginians, a recently organ- ized group of talented young artists, under the able direction of Bob Wallace, leader and one of the founders of the orches- tra. Members of the orchestra are: Bob Wallace, Johnny Wy- gal. Douglas Moyers, Donald Moyers, Ida Wallace, Ruth Wallace, Mrs. Olin Pearce and Miss Martha Cox. The affair, which was one of the biggest events of the fall was enjoyed until a late hour by approximately 150 guests and friends. In the picture may be seen several familiar faces of stud- ents and alumni of P. H. S. some of them are Stephen Ham, in the left foreground, and David Jameson, center.

PULASKI HOST TO GIRLS’ HI-Y CONFERENCE FIRST TIME IN 10 YEARS For the first time in many years the Girls’ Hi-Y of Pulas- ki High School took the ini- tiative to entertain the delegates of the Virginia State Hi-Y Conference from November 4th to the 6th. The Conference chose as its theme “Youth at the Cross- roads.” as its slogan. “Choose Ye This Day Whom Ye Shall Serve. ' ’ and as its hymn, “Faith of Our Fathers.” Each of the twenty girls who compose the local unit set to work diligently, early in October, to acquire homes for the delegates, and were pleased to donate the large number of people who cooperated by of- fering their homes for use. Ap- proximately 70 homes were used in housing the delegates. We were proud to have the State Hi-Y president. Miss Jean- ne Hall, as a member of our club and it was with poise and self assuredness that she presid- ed over the conference. Other officers were: Mary Jane Sneed, of Charlottesville, vice- president; Mangane Hyde, of Harrisonburg,, Secretary, and Dorothy Childress, of Chris- tiansburg, Treasurer. Many committees were ap- pointed to help systematize the preparation for the conference. Some of these committees were: Registration, transporta- tion, ways and means, enter- taiment, etc. After they had registered, approximately 125 girls were taken to their places of resi- dence by members of the trans- portation committee, members of the Boys’ Hi-Y, and other people of the town who so graciously offered their ser- vices. At seven o’clock, Friday night, November 4th, a buffet supper was held in the base- ment of the First Methodist Church, and after the supper, a “Jolly Up” was enjoyed by the delegates at which time ac- quaintances were made and games were played. At 8:30 o’clock the same night in the auditorium of the church, the Rev. W. H. Bowman, of Wytheville made the opening address. On the following morning the conference resumed with a worship service from 9:30 to 9:45. Discussion groups were led by the Rev. Francis Hume Scott, the Rev. Jesse H. Clay, Dr. McLedge Moffett, of Rad- ford State Teachers’ College Radford. Va.. and Dr. Vernon P. Bodier, of Blacksburg. Va. From 3:00 to 5:30 Satur- day afternoon. Miss Betty Jor- dan, president of the local club, entertained with a tea at her home. A banquet was held at the Apnalachian assembly room at 7:30 for the delegates at which time J. C. Ingram , secretary of Stare Hi-Ys. was speaker. Following this the Boys’ Hi-Y entertained with a most en joyable dance. The Boys’ Hi- Y cooperated in every way to help make the conference a suc- cess. The Hi-Y Gifls met in a body on the steps of the High School for a group picture Sun- day morning and from there attended the First Methodist Church where the services were conducted by the Rev. Foye G. Gibson. At the business session held Sunday morning, officers elect- ed for the coming year were: Mary Jane Sneed. Charlottes- ville, president: Sarah Lugar, Pulaski, vice-president: Doris Painter, Rural Retreat, secre- tary, and Martha Todd. Mari- on, treasurer. Mrs. Carson Dalton, spon- sor spent untold hours of work on the conference, and any- thing that could be said would be inadequate in expressing her worth to the Hi-Y, for without Mrs. Dalton, this conference could never have been. The girls feel fortunate in having Mrs. Dalton as their sponsor, and are very grateful for her cooperation. I THE ORIOLE SEASON + OF 1938 + 1939 J f PAGE SEVENTEEN BOYS’ HI-Y CLUB HEADED BY RICHARD T. DAUGHTREY GIRLS’ HI-Y ENJOYS MOST SUCCESSFUL YEAR Un ' der the fine leadership of their sponsor, Mr. Richard T. Daughtrey, the B o y s’ Hi-Y have had a very active and suc- cessful year. Mr. Daughtrey, a new member of the faculty, has been an excellent example and influence with the boys who feel in him a fine friend and counselor. At the first of the school year, they entertained the Girls’ Hi-Y with a “possum hunt.” Parking their cars at Henry Al- bert’s home in the country, they set out gaily with a deter- mination to bring back a ’pos- sum. However, they were not ( successful in catching the ’pos- sum, but they did not feel the trip was a failure, because of the fun and recreation that were enjoyed. On November 6, the club sponsored a dance honoring the visitors and delegates who attended the state conference of the girls’ Hi-Y. The affair proved one of the most enjoy- able events of the fall. Dancing was enjoyed until, a late hour. Music for the occasion being furnished by the Southwest Virginians. The Boys’ Hi-Y also orga- I nized a boys’ chorus and en- thusiastically entered into mak- ing it a success. Miss McDon- ald, who directed the chorus, left with the boys, training that will not be soon forgot- ten. Miss Katherine Michael accompanist, lent much to the effectiveness o f the singing through her brilbant playing and pleasing personality. In the early fall Dr. Kelso, county health officer, gave the boys a most instructive and in- formative talk on hea’th. The members of the club feel very fortunate in having as their president, Henry Al- bert, who proved his ability in leadership throughout the year. He holds other responsible oositions such as president of Senior class, and circulation editor of the Oriole. He is a member of the Debating Club and Beta club, having taken active parts in both clubs. The other officers are: Vice- president. Arnold Lester; sec- retary and treasurer, Bill Dent. Members: Kemper Baker, Ned Bane. Edward Carney, Garland Carper, Cosne Dal- ton, Melvin Hall, C. J. Hais- lip, Dan Hinson. Kermit Jack- son.

It will be a dear memory to all of the girls. With this as a start, the club had a truly good year. A grocery shower was given by the girls for the day nurs- ery at the General Chemical plant. It was given as an en- tertainment at the home of Re- becca Hiltzheimer. At this social the new clubs organized by the Pulaski club, were entertained and shown how the Hi-Y clubs organize and carry out their plans. This year the Girls’ Hi-Y Club chose as its new sponsor. Miss Katherin e Michael. Though the work o f sponso was new to Miss Michael, she proved a valuable asset to the club. We were honored by having the State President in our club. Jeanne Hall proved a good leader and contributed much in making the conference a fine one. The officers of the Girls’ Hi-Y Club for this year were; President, Betty Jordan, vice president, Ruth Dickerson; sec- retary, Agnes Cornelius; treas- urer, Mary Stambaugh. The subordinate officers worked faithfully and diligently with the president the entire year. Members: Elizabeth Adair, Elizabeth Bowman. Elizabeth Brown.

I’m longing for you.” HE strains of the qp y beautiful waltz by ( I ] Strauss drifted A 1 , through the air as [f Tom Baker reached the scene of merri- ment. He stopped in the door to watch the danc- ers whose happy laughter filled the g a y 1 y decorated room. Several people glanced at the handsome, young man of the gay ’90’s. He was con- tent, watching and wondering if he had been recognized, un- til he saw the lovely Oriental Princess. She was standing be- neath a low canopy in a far corner of the room, her dark hair caught back by a colorful band of flowers. For a moment Tom merely stared. He was sure he had never seen her before, but she looked like a real princess, as from a fairy story. June Croy, the hostess, recognized the col- onial gentleman and, noticing the center of his attention, she came toward him, smiling. Hello Tom,” she greeted gayly, why don’t you join the party? The music is grand.” Tom didn’t even notice that she bad recognized him. Hello,” he murmured ab- sently, and continued to stare. Oh. June,” (with more enthusiasm as he suddenly re- cognized the Spanish maiden.) Couldn’t you introduce me to her?’ He nodded toward the girl who was now walking slowly toward them. I don’t know her,” June whispered mystified. ‘No one seems to know who she is. But see, she is smiling and nodded. I believe you have made a good impression.” Taking matters into his own bands. Tom started to- ward her, but he stopped sud- denly, at a loss as to what to say. Then be walked on to where she was standing, and stopping, introduced himself. The girl nodded and smilingh moved toward the center of the room. Tom followed, knowing that she expected him to. That is a good orchestra, would you like to dance?” he asked timidly. “Why, yes, if you wish to trust my style of dancing,” she readily consented in a low, husky voice. Tom was almost surprised to hear her speak English al- though he knew that she was only in masquerade. To the soft strains of a popular dance tune, they joined the other young people on the floor. Tom grew impatient at his own bashfulness. Won’t you tell me your name?” he asked hopefully. Did I ask you to tell yours?” she inquired in the same !«ow even tone. You told me you were a gentleman from old Boston.” Tom was silenced by her unexpected reply and searched his brain for something to say. June, passing saved the mo- ment. The music had stopped and she came up to them. Didn’t we pick a good night for our party? Just look ★ at the moon.” She pointed through the door. Tom nodded and gave her a grateful look. Taking his part- ner’s arm he started toward the door. Come on,” he said, and I’ll show you — ” The Big Dipper and the twingling litt’e stars?” she in- terrupted him in an innocent voice. Tom stopped astounded. What was a fellow to say to a girl like this? They walked on to the porch and were greeted by the most beautiful moon whose silvery beams il- luminated the gardens and porch. The girl moved farth- er away from him and glanced up smiling sweetly. Tom needed no further encourage- ment. His spirits soared high. You know, I think I’m the luckiest fellow at the party. I have a charming princess all to myself. Please, won’t you tell me your name?” He tried once more to learn her identity. Completely ignoring his last question she came to stand by him taking his arm. I’m glad you like it. But look, see bow those clouds unmask! Now I’ll find out who you are.” Eagerly he pushed her toward the lighted door. She paused for the merest sec- ond, and then began to remove her mask. The Oriental girl turned toward the light.

Henry and Nell Henderson were staying at the home of their uncle in the country for the week-end while he ha’d gone to San Diego on business, and they were alone in the house when Nell made the startling exclamation. “Did I hear you say burg- lar?” asked Henry. “Why, Nell Henderson, you can’t scare me. What do you think this is, ‘The Haunted House’?” ‘And the tempest roared, the lighten- ing flashed, and the sound of a woman’s shrill cry was heard along the shore,” quoted Hen- ry from a mystery novel he had just read. “Aw, go on Henry, cut the comedy.

Maybe we’d better call for help.” ‘Oh, Nell, just climb down off your high horse,’ command- ed Henry. “Nothing’s going to hurt you. Go on up the step and I’M follow behind you.

Bang ! ! ! Yeow ! ! ! “Eeh,” shrieked Nell . “Wha’s that? Sounded like somebody’s shot. We’d better run.” Henry listened intently for a brief moment. Then feeling very brave, he said. “Come on. Follow me and we’ll go in and investigate, or my name isn’t Henry Henderson.” So saying, he grasped Nell’s hand tightly and started for the door again. “S-s-s-h! Not a word.

ACfUt — by Sarah Hudson The night was black with that peculiar sort of darkness which seems almost tangib ' e. Black clouds, sullen and threatening, scuttled across the sky. Lightning slashed the somber heavens, casting an eerie g’ow over the landscape. The air was sultry and calm — the very universe appeared to be holding its breath. As I brought my old dilapidated car to a standstill before the palati- al mansion of my intimate friend, Dr. Wayne, the trees looming out of the darkness like ghostly sentinels of the night, began to sway and moan. I stepped from the car, and as if that were a signal, rain began pouring down in sheets, drenching me to the skin. Gaining the shelter of the portico, I looked back, and in a momentary blue - white flash of lightning, I saw that a huge oak had been struck down, completely blocking the one road to the village be’ow. I entered the drawing room. Hickory wood burned in an en- ormous fireplace with a weird blue flame. The only other in- habitant of this singular room was a huge sab’e cat, who arched his back and unsheath- ed his sharp claws when I ap- proached. Suddenly a piercing scream slashed the silence, echo- ing through the dim corridors. I felt a chill touch my spine. My feet seemed rooted to the f’oor. Again came that ghast- ly scream. Was my friend in peril — perhaps already dead? I rushed into the hall and raced up the stairway. Another pene- trating scream came through the panels of a door at my right, cutting through the hard wood like a keen-edged knife. Quick’y I flung open the door, and there, illuminated by the eerie white fire of lightning. I saw. . Dr. Wayne’s parrot.

The boys were very ably led by the captain of football team, Henry Patterson. Vice Presi- dent’s office was held by Wel- don Amburn and the secre- tary and treasurer was Louis Painter. Their year was begun by having a “Beauty Con- test” in which the boys dress- ed as girls and the girls as boys. Then came a “Wo- manless wedding,” and final- ly a dance, to which both Hi- Y Clubs, the Girls’ Mono- gram Club, Senior Class, and both basketball teams were invited. All of these furnish- ed much enjoyment to the student body. The boys had their initiation and welcomed the swimming team into their club. The members being Da- vid Jamison, Captain; Coop- er Perkins, and Porter Ham. The other members of the swimming team were already members of the Monogram club. The Girls, though not as large a club, have been very active also. The president of the club was Mary Stam- baugh, who was very ably as- sisted by Vice-President Isabel Gilmer, Secretary Ruth Webb and a very efficient treasurer, Sarah Lugar. A dance was given at the first of year with music by “The Southwest Vrginians.” Later, an Ama- teur Hour was given in order to place the Girls’ basketball team and Monogram Club’s pictures in the “Oriole”. An- other benefit was given to pay for the basketball mono- grams, and last but not least a dance was given as a final “salute,” so to speak, as sever- al members were seniors, and to welcome into the club, af- ter initiations, new members who were Mildred Wallner, Dorothy Leache and Virginia Painter. The Boys’ Mono- gram Club and both basket- ball teams were invited. Thus ends the social year of the Monogram Club. The members of the club are: Girls — Isabel Gilmer, Ruth Webb, Sarah Lugar, Elizabeth Adair,, Jeanne Hall, Peggy Quesenberry and Mary Stam- baugh.

Scribe — Peggy Dobson. Quaestar — Edith Dickerson. Sponsor — Miss Kinder. Meetings have been held during the year, the third peri- od. After the business session a program consisting of songs sung in Latin and talks on va- rious phases of Roman life is given and Roman games are played. Refreshments are served by the hostesses for the month. The membership consists of the following: Eloise Adams Aileen Hale Mariam Bralley Alice Carney Wilma Carter Julia Carter Louise Dalton Bill Dudley Billie Kirchner Wilma DeHaven Betty Ann Denham Ruth Rhea Landis June Burkeholder Aleene Dickerson Edith Dickerson Peggy Dobson Elaine Eggert Howard Eggert Nichol Eskridge Nathan Evans Irene Haislip Mary Edith Jackson Katherine Jones David Laughon Dorothy Leache Bob MacAdoo Tom Massie Dorothy Manuel Nichols Meredith Charles Michele Lucy Morehead Pearl Rodgers Lois Russell Harold Smith John Tate Elizabeth Vaughan Elsie Weeks LATIN CLUB ORGANIZED CLUBS— A Debating Club HAS DONE FINE WORK Pulaski High has had a very active debating club this year. For the purpose of organizing, the group held their first meet- ing and elected the following officers: John Tate, president: Garnett Phibbs, vice- presi- dent, and Nichol Eskridge, sec- retary-treasurer. The first debate presented to the student body was on the question, “R e s o 1 v e d, that Chain Stores Should be Abol- ished for the Good of the Pub- lic.” Those serving on the af- firmative team were Gera’dine Millirons, John Tate, and Bet- ty Billig. The decision went to the negative team, which in- cluded Garnett Phibbs, Frances Cale and J. C. Leffew. The next debate was com- posed of Seniors on the state subject, “Resolved, that the United States Should Establish An Alliance With Great Brit- ain.” The affirmative team was composed of Richard Ward, Nathan Evans, and Nancy Mitchell. The negative won the debate, with Henry Albert, Betty Jordan, and Ruth Dickerson, as speakers. A few weeks later, the Freshmen prepared a debate on the question, “Resolved, That Winter Sports Are More Desir- able Than Are Summer Sports.” Affirmative speakers were DeWitt Creger and Nich- ol Eskridge, who took two speeches, bcause of Jack Scott’s absence. The negative team. Jack Caldwell, Louis Painter, and Ohmer Crowell, captured the decision. In early April, the club pick- ed representative teams to par- ticipate in the District Class B meet at Gate City, Virginia. There was an affirmative and a negative team, each prepared on its side of the question to de- bate against opponents chosen at the meet. The affirmative team, composed o f Garnett Phibbs, John Tate and Ohmer Glee Club HAS PROVEN ASSET Organized in 1936-37 the Girls’ Glee Club of Pulaski Hi has now become one of the most outstanding clubs in the school. This group journeyed to Richmond last spring to en- ter the annual State High School Music Festival. Under the capab’e direction of Mrs. C. C. Carney, these girls re- ceived a rating of excellent for Class B schools. The club has entertained at numerous numbers of gather- ing in Pulaski. They sang for both the baccalaureate and commencement exercises of the Class of ’38, High School and Grade assembly, the High School P. T. A., The Presbyte- rian Church and other engage- ments to be filled later in the year. On April 19, 1939, the group will leave for Richmond to again enter the annual fes- tival. They hope this year to receive a superior rating. This trip tops the activities of the club for the year. Pulaski High School looks with pride upon this club which has proven a great asset to the school and community. Crowell, won over Shoemaker High, but was eliminated in the first round. Although it got another chance to debate, it lost to Radford’s negative team. The negative team, com- posed Henry A’bert. Betty Jor- dan and Nancy Mitchell, de- bated Coeburn’s affirmative in the first round, then went into the semi-finals, where they were eliminated after debating William Byid, of Vinton. Members of the club are: Henry Albert. Betty Jordan, Nancy Mitche’l, Garnett Phibbs, John Tate. Bety Bil- lig, Frances Cale, Alice Carney, Kemper Baker.

PAGE TWENTY-TWO SEASON + OF 1938 1939 THE ORIOLE ■ — — ; BETA CLUB ORGANIZES On Thursday morning, Feb- ruary 16, the honor students of the Junior and Senior Class- es met for the purpose of orga- nizing a Pulaski chapter of the Nationa’ Honorary Beta Club. Mr. Eckman led a discussion of its purposes and club activi- ties. The following officers were elected: John Tate (Jun- ior) president; Kalima Dalton (Senior) vice-president; Betty Bil ' ig (Junior) secretary, and Grace Hearn (Senior) treasur- er. Pulaski High, as a state ac- credited high school, is eligible and has received its charter for a chapter in the National Beta Club, which is a non-secret scholarship service organization for high school students of America. Its purposes are: “To encourage scholarship, to promote character, and to sti- mulate leadership qualities among its members, as well as “to cultivate ideals of loyalty courage and honesty among high school students of Ameri- ca. The membership in the club is limited to those students of the Junior and Senior class- es whose “scholastic standing is sufficiently creditable to in- dicate superior mental qualifica- tion. However, a student must have the recommendation of the principal of the high school in order to attain membership. The National Council of the Beta Club includes: President, Dr. Sidney B. Hall, who is State Superintendent of Edu- cation in Virginia; vice-presi- dent and comptroller of busi- ness administration at V. P. I., and secretary-treasurer, D r. John W. Harris. Mr. Walter C. Chapman is the official di- rector of Beta Clubs of Vir- ginia. The National Beta Club is in its fifth year of existence. It has grown rapidly since 1933 and now has a total member- ship of over 12,000 in 782 chapters in nine states of the Reading left to right on back row : Henry Albert, Nancy Mitchell, Kalima Dalton, Eliza- beth Adair, Betty Billig, Rebec :a Hillzheimer, Forest Owen, Mr. Eckman.

The first issue of the Beta Club Journal, which is the official magazine of the club, was printed in September 1934. Although the club is a schol- astic organization and not a social one, social activities have a part in its program. The Beta Club is a service and not a high hat organization. The Pulaski chapter is sponsored by Miss Elizabeth McDonald and Mr. Hensel Eckman. As the activity of the year Mr. Chapman suggested that the Pu’aski Chapter of Beta Club visit the Veteran’s Hos- pital, located at Salem, Vir- ginia. On March 23, twenty- two members, accompanied by the advisors, Miss McDonald and Mr. Eckman, and Miss Frances Foster, Mrs. B. F. Adair, and Mrs. Hurst Owen, went to Salem. The Veterans’ hospital is beautiful to behold. The lib- rary, which had just been com- pleted at the time of our visit, was fitted with the latest equipment. The soldiers are fortunate to have a ' ovely game room, a beautiful audi- torium, and moving picture shows at frequent intervals. Of great beauty is the amphi- theatre, where the soldiers, who are able, march daily. Our chapter was treated with the utmost of courtesy and kindness, and was asked to return in 1940, after more buildings will have been com- pleted. The visit was an enjoyable one, and will always be one of our most p’easant memories, j The programs of the year were on Good Manners, and the Origin of Easter, both proving to be most helpful. The last meeting was in the form of an evening party, held at the home of Kalima Dalton. We had a nice chapter, and we a’l were inspired by the meetings. The following is the list of honor students who are eligi- ble for membership: Seniors — Betty Jordan, Jack Ward, Hen- I ry Albert, Ruth Dickerson, | Rebecca Hiltzheimer, Grace j Hearn, Nancy Mitche ' l, Kali- j ma Dalton, Joan Richardson, and Juniors — Billy Mum- power, Shirley Black.

However, after much toil and effort both by old and new men, the season became successful. The Orioles opened their season with the strong Blue- field team, and athough they lost, it gave the inexperienced men a good lesson in high class football. P. H. S. tuned up and came through with flying colors in the succeeding games with Dublin, Hillsvile, and Blacks- burg. She slumped in the next three games, lqsing to Nar- rows, Radford, and Saltville, the strongest teams in our sec- tion. Returning to form, the Orioles administered Chris- tiansburg a 26-0 defeat, be- fore a large crowd, inc’uding State Girls’ Hi-Y delegates. All attendance records for foot- ball in Puaski were broken on November 11, when 3,000 or more fans turned out to witness our annual game with Wythe- ville. Both teams were even’y matched and it was a heart breaker for us to lose. P. H. S. closed her ten game schedule with a 14-7 win over the strong Marion team. The boys played their best game of the season, with the seniors leading the way. MEMBERS OF FOOTBALL SQUAD Connie Adams, Ned Bane, Roy Bentley, Russell Cline, Nathan Evens, Howard Gol- den, C. J.

CAPTAIN Henry Patterson PAGE TWENTY-FOUR SEASON OF 1938 1939 THE ORIOLE GIRLS’ BASKETBALL TEAM FINISHES GOOD SEASON The Girls’ Basketball team began a good season this year when they defeated Draper High in an exciting contest. Journeying to Radford, the girls were in high spirits and were hopeful of a victory, but much to everyone’s disappoint- ment no victory was in store for them. However, they re- deemed themselves in the next encounter, which was with the strong Narrows sextet, by de- feating them 24-23. In B ' acksburg, they again won the laurels when they de- feated the Blacksburg Girls 38-36. It seemed the “Ivory of fate’’ that Christiansburg, the next opponent, conquered the P. H. S. girls in a one-sided score of 33-12, which was ev- ened up in a few days by a 23-13 win over Marion. In the remaining nine en- counters the P. H. S. cagers marked up four losses and four wins, with one tie. Even though the opponents scores totaled more than P. H. S. the season is considered a very successful one. The girls are all credited with p’aying good, clean basketball, which has, proven one of the finest high school spirits.

This initial victory gave the boys untold courage to face the Radford quintet which struggled constantly to defeat the Orioles by a score of 24 to 15. However, this “upset” by Radford did not daunt their spirit. With renewed vim, the P. H. S. cagers met their op- ponents from Narrows in a thrilling game which exempli- fied exce’lent coaching on the t part of both teams. Coming out of this encounter with the marginal score of 23-22, Pu- laski rapidly built up a strong, fast team which equall- ed, if not surpassed the strength of the opposing teams which I followed. The remainder of the season included two wins each over Blacksburg and Marion , one over Bland and Draper, with losses being meted out by Christiansburg twice, Wm. Fleming, Marion, Narrows, and Bland, and tying Draper. The Midgets’ season didn’t prove so successful in winning scores as the Orioles, but they showed much promise for fu- ture seasons.

Nothing is easier than fault- finding; no talent, no self-de- nial, no brains, no character are required to set up in the grumbling business. — Robert West On Decmber 22, 1938, the first issue of the Pulaski High School newspaper, “Oriole Chirps,” came off the press. For a long time, the students and faculty had realized that P. H. S. should have a school paper; finally, under the lead- ership of Miss Crysta 1 Frye, a staff was selected and work on the first issue was begun. The original staff was chos- en as follows: Editor-in-Chief, Rebecca Hiltzheimer; Assistant Editor- in-Chief, Betty Billig: Busi- GOLDFISH TEAM John Tate Ned Bane Porter Ham Ohmer Crowell Cooper Perkins T om Massie Louis Painter Sonny Miller Donald Richardson David Jameson, Capt. ness Manager, John Tate; As- sistant Business Manager. Gar- net Phibbs; Literary Editor, Ann Morehead; Society Editor, Ka’ima Dalton; Joke Editor, Billy Mumpower; Sports Edi- tors, Isabel Gilmer and Ed- ward Carney; Advertising Manager, E’izabeth Adair; Class Reporters, Nancy Wor- ley, Senior; Alice Carney, Junior; Louis Painter, Sopho- more: Pauline Gatewood, Freshman Donna Smith and Alec Haller, grades; Sponsor CAPTAIN David Jameson Miss Crysta ' . Frye; Assistant Sponsor Miss Elizabeth Pain- ter. Since then, several chang- es have been made. One issue of “Oriole Chirps” is printed each month of the school year, and the genera’ make up includes: First class news articles, editorials, poems, short stories, various feature articles, jokes, gossip, sports, and ads. While originality is particularly stressed through- out, the foremost objective is to print the news of P. H. S. truthfully in an attractive, as well as interesting manner. Miss Frye has proven a very capable sponsor of the school paper. She has cooperated and stuck with the staff through thick and thin and deserves ail the credit for the splendid way in which she has successfully handled this responsible and progressive undertaking for P. H. S. The cooperation and sup- port of the faculty and especi- ally Mr. Eckman, principal, has been deeply appreciated bv those closely associated with the inside story of printing this reliable newspaper, which is of. for. and by, the students of Pulaski High, and the pres- ent staff sincerely hopes that, as long as the high school re- mains the Oriole Chiros will be an important part of it. It takes a great deal of bold- ness mixed with a vast deal of caution, to acquire a great for- tune; but then it takes ten times as much wit to keep it after you have got it as it took to make it.

In view of the fact that we had just selected our princess for the Dogwood Festival, we agreed to let that girl be our choice for prettiest girl. To be counted in the asset were the boy and girl who had been of the greatest help to the school, in grades, personality, and leadership. The best sport was not es- pecially in the athletic field of sports, but a well-rounded person who had helped us in every way, and deserved much credit for his work. The result of the poll is as follows: HENRY ALBERT Greatest Asset KALIMA DALTON Prettiest Greatest asset — boy — Henry Lee Albert; Girl — Betty Lou- ise Jordan. Handsomest boy — Tom Painter. Prettiest girl — K a 1 i m a Dalton. Best Sport— boy— Bill Dent: girl — Mary Stambaugh. To give you an idea of their popularity in that certain field, the following paragraphs describe them. Henry Lee Albert The best asset that any school can have is the boy who TOM PAINTER Handsomest studies as Henry has studied, and participates in all acts and serves as a leader, successfully, as Henry has certainly done. Just to know Henry has been a privilege, and his friend- ship has meant much to every- one. His good grades have ev- er inspired us to greater heights. Henry, may you always be such an asset in every walk of life. Kalima Dalton “Chime’s’ ' so pretty, so sweet, and so precious to all of us that we couldn’t resist mak- ing her “Miss Pulaski High.” With her blue eyes, her light brown hair, and her repu- tation for being a very well- dressed girl, we know that no person could better represent the Pulaski High School than she, for beautiful things re- quire beautiful persons. “Chime,” always remain as sweet and as pretty and as un- affected as you are now. Thomas Painter Tom’s blue eyes and brown hair won him the almost un- animous vote of every person in the High School. His good looks and sunny smile won him so many friends that we don’t wonder that he was vot- ed the most hadsome boy in the school. May he ever be as handsome. Betty Louise Jordan Betty’s sweet personality and well-rounded life have made her a most valuable girl to the Senior Class, and to the school. To the girls she’s been a great help, and we think the boys agree with us that she’s a big asset to them, too. Betty knows how highly we think of her, and we know she ' ll go as high as possible in life. BETTY JORDAN Greatest Asset We look before and after, And pine for what is not : Our sincerest laughter With some pain is fraught; Out sweetest songs ace those that tell of saddest thought. By Shelley PAGE TWENTY -EIGHT SEASON OF 1938 1939 THE ORIOLE Bill Dent We couldn ' t have made a better choice than Bill as the best sport in P. H. S. He can take a joke as well as anyone, and laughs heartily at joke on himself. (He also likes to tell one on someone else.) Bill is popular with the boys as well as girls, and is always ready to do his part. Particularly did we see his fine sportsmanship in his role as the sheriff in Lady Spit- fire. Bill is a good sport, and we know he will always be the good sport we have known. BILL DENT MARY STAMBAUGH Best Sport Best Sport Mary Stambaugh Mary is a good sport in two ways. An excellent basketball player, she was captain of the girls’ team this year, and was she a good one! Then she also enjoys a joke on herself and takes part in all good fun. She’s gone to the top in po- pularity, and has a great many friends in P. H. S. We know she will always be able to cooperate as she has done during her journey with us. Mary will always have friends and will always be a good sport throughout her life. SCHOOL CALENDER FOR 1939 Sept. 7 — New students register. Sept. 8 — County Teachers’ meeting. Sept. 9 — Opening day.

He can bring on the snow and ice, the frost- ed window panes, the silvery icicles and all, the more the better. What a thrill to wake after a snug sleep on a winter’s night to open your eyes on the prettiest scene nature ever ar- ranged! Every tree bent low with lovely white snow not a footprint to be seen in all that beautiful blanket. It’s hard to get up even with such enticement as that beau- tiful scene and the smell of a good hot breakfast floating up the stairs. But you put on your breakfast smile, for to- day’s a holiday and count one- two-three — O-oh! The floor’s too cold. But, oh, how grand and warm you feel when you’re all dressed and eating breakfast. After breakfast oil your boots, hunt out your heavy knickers, put on your scarf and toboggan, for you have to be mannish even though you are a girl, to have fun in snowy weather. Wheel What a thrill to swoop from the top of the hill, over the dip, and away like “greased lightning.” Aren’t you glad you have the fastest sled on the hill and aren’t you glad we have this bi’l that ends in a field instead of being worried about traffic? Flying down the hill your stomach doing funny turns, snow in your eyes, wind in your ears, laughing all the while, you couldn ' t wish for more fun! A day is not enough and how could you get enough of such fun that makes you “feel like a million,,” and boy! Do you eat. WAVERITE BEAUTY SHOPPE Phone 4 WASHINGTON AVENUE Ground Location INTERVIEW . . ★ — By Betty Jordan There was mother calling again. Couldn’t she under stand that you had to look your best when interviewed by such an important man as Rodney Blake. “Com-i-n-g. I don’t want any breakfast Muh! (I’m too excited to eat anything! And I hate oatmeal.) After bolting down such a A huge friendly bonfire that lights up the hill, and laugh- ter and cheers that ring out of the clear coldness, make night sledding more fun than that in the daytime. Then too, the gang doesn’t really mind if you ask them to gather around the fire at home and have hot choco’ate and cookies. These are only a few of the many pleasures of snowy weather. Try them. I will guarantee that you will neith- er forget it nor regret it. Compliments of PULASKI LUMBER COMPANY lot of “horrid” oatmeal, not without complaint, Debby flew out the front door with one arm in her coat, and her beret, like a large green pan- cake, right on top of her head. Seeing Tom Morrison whom she considered velry young and very silly coming down the street, she came to an abrupt halt at the gate. Quick- ly she put on her beret and mi- raculously, got the other arm in her coat before he saw her. Honestly he was so young, on- ly eighteen. Why, you couldn’t compare him with such a handsome man as Rodney Blake. “Hi gal. How’s the star re- porter? The Alma Mater couldn’t do without her.” This was told to a saucy robin on a nearby tree. “Humph! You just wait. You’ll see what they say at school when I bring in my in- terview with Rodney Blake, the explorer!” School was very boring and the hands of the clock on the by. Debby was the first one out at the sound of the dismissal bell. She called a taxi and was soon in the elevator of Hotel Winston. Her heart was beat- ing like the well known trip- hammer as the floors whizzed wall seemed to be glued. Her hand trembled so much when she knocked on the shiny 700 that she had to knock twice to be heat’d. The door opened to reveal a short, but a very angry little man. “Is — is Rod — I mean, Mr. Blake in at present?” “Wait a minute,” he frown- ed back. Gosh, were all secretaries as rude as this one? Before she could take a deep breath necessary to face what was to come, she was ushered swiftly into a huge room and seated in a chair that made her look like a little girl. Some fifteen minutes of dreadful suspense has passed when, from a door at the side of the room, came a tall, stout, bulbous-nosed, middle aged man. As soon as he had enter- ed, the short, fat man, who had been standing like a sen- try beside the door, left the room. Debby was too disappoint- ed to speak. “Wie gehts, Fraulein.” “Huh — I mean — uh — what did you say?” Then the man began speak- ing so rapidly what was evi- dently German that Debby fled in bewilderment. The elevator was much too slow so she chose the stairs which she fairly flew down. Just as she slowed down to walk out the door with what little dignity she had left, someone called. “Hy gal. What’d he say?” She panted, “Oh-Oh-Tom! he-he was-gulp — a horrid, fat, old man — who talked — wh- like — a-a pig grunts I — think — it was German. But don’t you dare tell a soul!” On the front page of the school newspaper next day ap- peared this small notice. “Rodney Blake had no statement to make to our pa- per Tom Morrison (Ed.)

AM EVERYDAY TRAGEDY The day was one of those clear, beautiful days, when it is unbearable to remain indoors. In the park, children were playing, free from school, and people were resting and talk- ing. The wholre scene was one of cheerfulness and yet, at the same time, restful and peace- ful. On a bench by the lake, a young girl was seated looking at the water. She seemed to be in her twenties, and was an un- usually attractive girl. But she looked lonely — just sitting and thinking. On another bench on the opposite side of the small lake, sat a very good-’ooking young man who also seemed to be just thinking. The girl, who had not pre- viously noticed him, suddenly looked up and met his eyes. She blushed and then, as he seemed to be such a nice young man, she suddenly smiled. He a’so smiled, and then she was looking the other way again. But that wasn’t all there was to it, because she was thinking. “He’s an awfully — by Margaret Owen be just the type that is pleas- ant and agreeable. And he was thinking. She’s the prettiest girl I’ve ev- er seen. I wish I weren’t ’way over here on this sid e of the lake. Then she was musing again, “Maybe if I looked that way again — I really should leave but be might walk by, and I would like to meet him. And over on the other bench he sat — wondering what she wou ' d think if he should happen to go over her way. She looked like such a nice girl and had such a nice, friendly smile. Time slowly passed. First, fifteen minutes — then half an hour was gone. One of the love -smitten young people wou’d emit a long sigh and then the other would also sigh. But, of course, neither heard the other. So it went, until each gave up and rose to leave. The girl took one path and the boy another. There were two sorely dis- appointed people in the world that day. Each wished that the other had made a move toward making an acquaintance. But then, how was each one to know that the other was a nice-looking boy. He seems to deaf mute? Joe Aylor stood behind an irritable old woman in a line waiting to get in the show. She: “Stop your pushing, can’t you?

THE DUEL - - - ★ ★ ★ A SHORT STORY = The woods were a scene of 1 great excitement this day of May 1, for there was to be a duel between two great men. It was eight o’clock and the duel was to start at eight ten. The duelists had arrived and were waiting for the seconds to roll by. Finally, the time came. The men lined up, their backs to each other. The ref- eree told them they were to shoot with the pistols given to them. As they stood there, each one realized the import- ance of true aim and firing. They knew that it meant life or death to the ones who were doing the shooting. Then the referee sang out, All ready, then we will start.” He shout- ed, I will now count off.” “ON(E” — T h e march had begun. “TWO” — Death for one of them was drawing By RALPH TESTER near. “THREE”— The men took the third step. “FOUR” 1 — And they had six more to go. “FIVE” — The end was drawing near. “SIX” — Four steps to go. “SEVEN” — Each man was fingering his gun. “EIGHT” — Their trigger finger tightened. “NINE” — One more to go. “TEN”— The time had come. Each man whirled around, took careful aim and fired. One of the men groaned and fell. The other shouted, “I got you Bobby,” as he looked down at his toy pistol which was still smoking from the cap which had been burst by the gun. Bobby got up slowly and said, “Well. Jim, I reckon you did, but I’ll get you the next time.” S. B. STEGER JR. • • DRY CLEANERS • • • PHONE 335 • • • PULASKI VIRGINIA THE ORIOLE SEASON OF 1938 1939 If.
