As you leaf through these pages, seeing the past year in word and picture, remember these friends and school, with the knowledge that the past year has been an event- ful one in both our school and nation.

PRUET, has struck a most responsive chord our lives and we look up to him with over-bounding admiration and respect, first and foremost interest was in us as individuals. He not only planned for our immediate activities but he looked far into the future and shed upon our personalities those things that are so important in our future lives. N We all appreciate his efforts along with the rest of the faculty «w entigl |-ening us }n the finer things in life. May our institution continue to advance under their competent leadership. It was once said that if the leaders are good, the battle is half won. And truly, this is correct, for under their leadership, we have come closer and closer to the goal before us — Victory. When the going became rough and we felt like saying, What ' s the use? ' one of our teachers came along and gave us courage and hope to continue upward. With a lot of patience (and some impatience, of course) we are ready to graduate. And we shall always remember them and we shall eternally be grateful.

There you were, fresh from a frolicking summer of tranquil days taken for granted. It took a week or more to adjust yourselves to the new schedules but finally you were settled. New acquaintances, exclamations and the criticism of your teachers were heard everywhere. But you settled down at last and entered into the spirit with the upperclassmen. This year has been quite a full one for fun; full of disappointments, small fears, happinesses and pleasures. You are already visualizing yourselves as Sophomores and thinking of the happy days to come. You Freshmen are glad to find yourselves leaving the first year due to a number of reasons. One of the main reasons is, of course, the fact that you ' re no longer the greenies of high school. You ' re leaving this traditional characteristic for the on-coming Freshman. It wasn ' t so bad, though. Gee, it was fun to be able to make plenty of noise and to change classes, etc. But you didn ' t like the idea of the separate assemblies, this making you feel left-out and forgotten by the upperclassmen. But you soon became accustomed to the situation-at- hand and didn ' t mind so much. Now, in looking back, you are already saying, Gee, it was fun! Although you may not have seemed important to others, you have a big advantage over the Seniors; for example, you still have three bright years ahead and they only have their memories. The Freshmen homeroom teachers for this year were: Miss Elizabeth Painter, Miss Elizabeth Blair, Miss Jean Bundy, Miss Laura Dalton and Miss Clara Schultz. - PAGE SIXTEEN YOUR SOPHOMORE OFFICERS OU WERE Sophomores; some wise and some foolish. Rejuvenated by summer, you began your second year of high school. You found that hard work was needed and that being Sophomores wasn ' t a cinch ' as someone had said. Having been under the efficient leadership of Mr. Walter Griggs, Miss Lynwood Kinder, Miss Gerry Mertz and Miss Patsy Fletcher, you entered into the struggle with renewed strength and courage with the light of determination going before you, urging you to conquer and emerge victorious. Javelins of criticism have been hurled your way, with great bombs of tests exploding in your faces. Now all that is behind you and you ' re finding yourselves ready to say good-by to the sophisticated life and to be quite willing to become the jolliest of all Juniors. Being a Junior Is certainly something to be looking forward to throughout the coming year. Judging from the things that you have already accomplished in your high school career, the future looks bright and hopeful for you. In the scholastic, athletic and social matters, you have acquired quite an enviable record this year and won the rights of going on as Juniors here in Pulaski High. The most worthy leaders of the great class of 1944 have proved their ability to lead, with a great deal of efficiency, the fun-loving sophs. The honorable President was Alex Haller, who was helped by the vice- president, Bill Miller. The minute-keeper, otherwise called the secretary, was none other than Don Duncan, and the treasurer was Randolph Crockett, in charge of all their money. May you be highly rewarded for studiousness, accomplishments and perseverance. Keep up the good work!

The ones so full of vim, vigor and vitality that they make all the rest very happy? Very readily these can be identified as our jolly ’ 1 Juniors. Truly these people are the cream of the crop. They have co-operated to the fullest extent with the rest of the student body and have been a valuable asset to our school. They have seen their duties and performed fhem along fhe same, simple, noble convictions which our forefathers saw so clearly and so well. We are convinced that they will make excellent Seniors and will carry on to Victory. The Junior Officers were: President, Colleen Hall; Vice President, Tommy Dickerson; Secretary, Ellsworth Tench; Treasurer, Alma June Collins. Some of our best players on the football, basketball and baseball teams have been Juniors. Now, you ' re Seniors! Sounds all right. In fact, it ' s wonderful. Re- member to always be on hand to sing your Alma Mater ' s praise and you ' ll be sure to come out on top. Seniors-to-be, don ' t give up the ship. You have before you one of the best years in your life. Keep up the good work and go on to the highest goals. The future of Pulaski High depends on you. Remember your responsibilifies and do your part in every way possible. The leaders of the Juniors have been the very capable Miss Elizabeth Jones, Miss Frances Hoback and Miss Constance Christopher.

HALL Secretary ROBERT DICKINSON Treasurer PAGE TWENTY-THRE YOU ATTAIN THE HIGHEST —y ' OUR YEARS AGO a large group of students, fresh from the grades, were introduced to High School. These were the Senior Class of ' 42. At the beginning they didn’t realize the signifi- cance of the date and no wonder, they were greenies. The upper classmen considered them as green as the greenest of grasshoppers. They knew nothing of what was ahead of them. Four years of hard work, play, sorrow and happiness, but finally they reached the top. Last September marked the beginning of the greatest year of all. They found themselves looking into the expanding horizons before them. What a thrill was the realization that they were Seniors at last! How dignified they felt! They decided to transform their efforts, loyalties and determination into realities to prepare to carry on the work which the former Seniors had started. Work, exams, more work and more exams have been their worries and fears for the preceding months. But now, flying their colors high (blue and white), they find the reward has been great. Time came for the Senior Prom and, of course, a better time had no one ' than they. The thought of all the other activities they delighted in together expands their hearts with joy. They will always remember. Now, as they stand on the threshold of their future, they begin making plans — plans that are as individually different as night and day. Each one will go his own way but he will never forget the dear old days at Pulaski High. Here ' s a message they leave behind. Miss Helen Brosius, Miss Madge McFall and Mrs. Aulden Lemons. We give to you our deepest appreciation for your leader- ship and helpfulness throughout the year. May success and happiness be yours always. Alma Mater, we leave you with tears in our hearts and much burdened with sorrow. You ' ve meant more to us than we can ever express. May you continue to grow in stature and wisdom during the future years.

In a vision of the future Just a few short weeks ahead, I see a line of seniors And toward a stage they tread. Tis commencement time, I know it, For the teachers seated there. And the crowd is finally settling, There is not an empty chair. A; last I see diplomas And each Student ' s given one; I expect a shout of joy, Cause it ought to be some fun. But the Seniors, they seem silent, As I try their thoughts to trace; It seems they’re losing something By expressions on their face. Yes. I know now what they ' re thinking, ' Cause I had the same thoughts too; And I bet when you ' re a senior These thoughts will come to you. They were all about a building, Second home to me, I guess. And I loved it bout as dearly, Twas my dear ole P. H. S. I felt a true school spirit As it really ought to be, But alas, I could not use it For it came too late for me. And so to you my vision goes; I send it in advance. I trust you ' ll use school spirit While you still have the chance. Yes, school spirit ' s yelling louder, When your team is far behind; And it holds you spellbound minutes As your fullback smacks that line. It sends you to your toes in joy As your tackles plow away, And as a pass is caught, you gasp, A little center saved the day. This is good ole true school spirit The finest type I know. But it is only one good form; There are others we can show. You should really work your heads off To always be aware, That in classes as in football The game should be played fair. The right and wrong you surely know; You ve heard it everywhere; And you know a School s no better Than the students going there. Is your conduct what it ought to be? Do you try at daily task? Do you do your best at anything? These questions you should ask. And to them, I would add a plea — That on graduation day, That you could look upon the past And in truth sincerely say: Ole school, I ve tried to honor you; I hope young folks will see, I left to them a better school Than someone else left me.

Standing: Barton Case, Dewitt Creger, Margaret Brookman, Douglas Alley, Miss Whitehead, Sponsor; Raymond Phibbs, Elsie Weeks, Alex Haller, Tiny Edwards, Jane Ann Hogg, Ruth Cummings. HE STUDENT COUNCIL, formed three years ago, got underway immediately this year. Robert Cecil, who was elected president in the spring of 1941, was in charge of book sales at the beginning of school. This proved to be a great help to the students who were able to buy second-hand books at the school library. Unfortunately Buzz Cecil found it necessary to resign his extra-curricular activities because of an over- crowded schedule. After his resignation in September, another election was held. Eleanor Imboden, Elsie Weeks, Douglas Alley and Billy Groseclose were the candidates. Douglas Alley received a majority vote on the second ballot. The other officers elected by the Council itself were: Barton Case, vice-president; Elsie Weeks, secretary, and Alma June Collins, treasurer. Miss Estelle Whitehead, the Council ' s sponsor, brought many new ideas to the group. It instigated a new dance called the Farmers ' Ball, the first of its kind ever held in Pulaski High School. The Council was responsible for the forming of clubs at activity period as well as for sponsoring the electing of the Junior and Sophomore Classes ' officers. The membership of this organization was composed of home-room representatives and of members selected from each of the important clubs. Those from the home rooms were: Dewitt Creger, Barton Case and Frank Akers, Seniors; Jane Anne Hogg, Alma June Collins and Raymond Phibbs, Juniors; Lois Kegley, Alec Haller, Ruth Cum- mings and George Edwards, Sophomores; Helen Landis, Westly Vaughon, Margaret Brookman and Emerson Knapp, Freshmen. The representatives from the various clubs were: Tiny Edwards, Girls ' Hi-Y; Ben Knapp, Boys ' Hi-Y; Elizabeth Turner, Girls Monogram; Helen Jordan, Beta Club; Elsie Weeks, Glee Club; and Colleen Hall, Oriole Chirps. A delegation was sent to Virginia High School in Bristol and to William Fleming High School at Roanoke in order to compare our school and its student government with that of these other sch®ols. Many helpful ideas were obtained and a better understanding of other schools was established. Underwriting additional copies of The Oriole was another activity the council sponsored in the interest of the school. PAGE THIRTY-FIVE TO MAINTAIN HIGH STANDARDS 7his CLUB was the first to reorganize this year. Their officers were: Pafsy Miller, president; Helen Jordan, vice-president; Eleanor Imboden, secretary, and Lois Rosen- baum, treasurer. Having been deprived of both their sponsors by Dan Cupid they immediately chose Miss Mary Helen Brosius and Miss Nell Hall to guide them. Throughout the year the girls attended church in a body once a month. The first act of the group was to give a dance in the gym after the Homecoming game with Marion on October 31. Delegates were sent to the state convention at Martinsville and they came back full of new ideas and plans for the club for the year. The delegates were Patsy Miller, Helen Jordan, Jackie Seagle and Tiny Edwards. Contributing a Christmas basket closed their activities before the holidays. In February, a Mock Faculty was presented in the auditorium, with the teachers seeing themselves as others see them! Next they began preparations for their annual Mother- Daughter banquet. This group has worked with the boys ' group by holding Joint meetings; and they helped present a plaque to the school in memory of John Davidson.

In cooperation with the Girls ' Hi-Y they sent a Christmas basket and also presented the John Davidson plaque to the school. Delegates from the group went to the District Meeting in Blacksburg which was held March 20 to 22. At this meeting the convention accepted the invitation of the Pulaski Club to meet here in 1943, after having elected Don Coordes, a local Pulaski member, to the Presidency of this Hi-Y district for next year. The following week-end, the club sponsored a dance with Gene Jones and his orchestra, playing in the gym which was distinctly decorated. The club introduced parliamentary procedure and instigated the practice of attending church in a body twice a month. They also sponsored programs and gave devotionals in the assemblies.

HONORED STUDENTS ET us lead by serving o Thers, ’ ’ is the motto of the Beta Club, one of the honorary organizations of Pulaski High School. The purpose of this club is that of promoting the ideals of honesty, service and leadership among high school students; to reward meritorious achievement; and to encourage and assist students to continue their education after high school graduation. This Club has been active for four years and was among the first to reorganize this year. At the first meeting the old members, with Miss Lynwood Kinder as sponsor, installed the following officers: Bonnie Jeanne Gallimore, president; Ruth Wallace, vice-president; Frances Adair, secretary; and Charles Pauley, treasurer. New members were also voted upon and an installation service was held in assembly ai an early date. New members included: Elsie Weeks, Barton Case, Von Moody, Buddy Kegley, Patsy Whitaker, Jackie Seagle, Billy Groseclose, Charlene McNew and Helen Rhudy. Later in the year additional members were chosen. These were: George Gerberich, Kenneth Farmer, Robert Cecil, Lucille Huff, Alma June Collins, Jane Ann Hogg and Betsy Scott. Old members of the club were: Jean Edwards, G. C. Hall, Frank Stafford, Ruth Wallace, Glenna Myers, Polly Gatewood, Eleanor Imboden, Patsy Miller, Helen Jordan, Bonnie Jeanne Gallimore, Charles Pauley, Francis Adair, Lois Rosenbaum. On March 27 and 28, the Annual Beta Club Convention was held at Hotel Roanoke in Roanoke. Several members attended the business sessions as well as the dance and banquet. The delegate elected to represent Pulaski County was Tiny Edwards, a member of the Pulaski club. PAGE THIRTY-EIGHT CURTAIN CALL 7 J- O FURTHER students interest in drama was the purpose of the in our school three years ago. The club has steadily grown students enrolled this year, great asset to P. H. S. Under the dramatic influence of Miss Dramatic Club which was first in membership and has about Schultz, the sponsor, this club introduced a hundred became a Because of the large membership, and to enable the work to be done more efficiently, the club was divided into four groups. These were: make-up, staging, acting, and property management. In the spring, the entire group presented a series of one-act plays, in competition with several other Dramatic Clubs throughout the state. The club was very active under the capable leadership of Mary Katherine vice-president: Augustus Rauner, secretary: and Douglas Alley, Treasurer. Ryan, president: Doris Southern, The Seniors organized their own Dramatic Club, choosing Mrs. Aulden Lemons as sponsor. The purpose of this separate organization was to help prepare them for the Senior play.

PAGE THIRTY-NINE SEARCHING SCIENTISTS HE Roy Chapman Andrews Museum Club of Pulaski High School was originated three years ago and was named for the director of the Museum of Natural History in New York. The aim of this club was to promote science instruction and to aid those interested in scientific achievements. This club met once a week and discussed facts concerning or connected with science in any way. This enthusiastic group was composed of about two dozen students who anxiously took advantage of the opportunities of the club. They participated in programs and learned valuable things about science under their sponsor, Miss Patsy Fletcher. Each member chose a project and worked on it throughout the year. The officers leading this organization were: Patsy Whitaker, president; Alex Haller, vice-president; Ellen Eskridge, secretary, and Jane Ann Hogg, treasurer. At a meeting last year in Richmond, the Museum Club of Pulaski High School was honored by having the vice-president of the Virginia Junior Academy of Science selected from its club. Patsy Whitaker, local president, was elected to this newly formed state office for the year 1941-42. This year ' s conference was held in Roanoke from May eighth to the tenth.

TAKING OFF EEP ' EM FLYING, the motto of our country ' s air force, was also adopted as the motto of our own Airplane Club. Miss Elizabeth Blair was always flyin ' around so who, but she, could be the sponsor of this club? Their purpose was to promote more interest in aviation through modeling and discussion. At each meet- ing discussions were led by a member of fhe club. The boys planned visits to the local airport, but these were thwarted, due to the closing of the field by the government. However, they had a model contest, some entering nifty little gasoline-motor jobs. This is a comparatively new club, but this year they had a membership of twenty, ably led by John Lyons, who served in the capacity of president. Assisting him were: Blaine Huff, vice-presi- dent; Bill Dougherty, secretary, and Norman Byrd, treasurer.

So, a Photo Club was organized under the sponsorship of Miss Mary Helen Brosius, an ardent candid-camera fan. The purpose of this newly formed club was to make better snaps, to lighten the darkness which always draws near when the dark-room is mentioned, and to profit by the other person ' s mistakes. Under the guidance of Ben Knapp as president, and Denny Landis as vice-president, the club advanced rapidly. Of course, these are always notes to be kept and the small matter of money to be looked after. Lillian Keister was elected to fill the office of secretary-treasurer. Miss Brosius was used as guinea-pig when the snaps were taken. She was shot from every angle. Other than the officers, the following fans were enrolled: Charles Byrd, Dick Miller, LeRoy Sellner, Tommy Dickerson, Eleanor Imboden, Bonnie Gallimore, Polly Gatewood, Ruth Nelson, Eloise Covey, Gray Farmer, James Webb, William Umberger, Tommy Silcox, Nellie McCall and Ruth Cummings.

O THE announcement that boys, as well as girls, could join the Home Economics Club, the boys tell over each other trying to be the tirst ones to the cottage. Miss Estelle Whitehead and Miss Nell Hall were waiting to teach them what they wanted to know (about Home Economics, of course!) At the first meeting about seventy students attended, a number too large for one club. If was decided fo divide the club into two groups; Miss Hall taking the forty-five girls, while Miss Whitehead undertook the difficult task of training the twenty-three boys in household duties. The boys elected the capable Jimmy Henry as their president, with George Gerberich assisting them as vice-president, and Barton Case as secretary-treasurer. Erma Harris was the girls ' efficient president; with Doris Howlett, vice-president; Helen Freeman, secretary, and Helen Black, treasurer. This cheerful group of girls took up, at the beginning of the year, a general study of personality. Later they divided into two groups, each choosing the group in which she wished to work; which were: manners, grooming and cooking. The rough-and-tumble bunch of boys, who due to their bashfulness, chose to call themselves by the more masculine, independent and aloof name of Bachelors ' Club, meekly took Miss Whitehead ' s advice on the subjects of cooking, selection of clothing, modern manners, and, yes, even sewing! ... PAGE FORTY-THREE TUMBLING ABOUT JO ENABLE those boys with exceptional ability to improve their their tumbling technique beyond the level of achievement found possible in physical education classes was the goal of the Tumbling Club. Their exhibitions given at the basketball games were the outstanding highlights of their first successful year. One of the featured exhibitions was the performance at the Faculty Game. It included high jumps, long jumps, head springs and somersaults of various kinds. The little fellows, especially, won the admiration of the entire audience by their exceptionally fine displays of tumbling. Their head dives sent thrills through the grandstand, causing wave after wave of applause. Frosty ( Doug ) Aust furnished the fun with his clowning, ending his antics by throwing a bucket of confetti on the crowd. The climax of the show was the Club forming a V, with each person standing on his head. The chief aim of the club was to promote a tumbling carnival for the purpose of raising funds to purchase additional gymnasium equipment and tumbling apparatus.

They were off again on one of their expeditions which was to make 1942 a red letter year in the history of the Hiking Club. This club, first organized in the fall of 1940 as an extra- curricular group who enjoy scouting the surrounding area, was co-sponsored by Miss Elizabeth Painter and Miss Constance Christopher. No dues were required, nor did they select officers in their unique club. They dispensed with all the usual formalities, conven- tions and shackles which usually surround club life, making their sole requirement for membership a zest for the more rugged life spent in nature ' s woodlands.

MUSIC MAKERS O-RE-MI-FA — was the echo that rang out of the school every Monday afternoon for nine months. The voices belonged to those sweet chirpers ' who call themselves the Girl ' s Glee Club of Pulaski High School. They made an excellent beginning this year by choosing as their very capable director, the talented Miss Frances Hoback. These girls were most popular and active in school gatherings, bringing their bright and merry tunes into many events. Early in the first term the girls sang in assembly to an appreciative audience of high school students. The occasion was one of patriotism, the program being centered around that subject. The Glee Club sang America ' s Message under the direction of Miss Hoback and accompanied by Charlene McNew. The club has completed its fifth year. It was organized in 1937. Since then the membership has grown to forty in number. They wisely chose as this year ' s president, Charlene McNew. Other officers included Patsy Miller, vice-president; Lucille Huff, secretary; Colleen Hall, treasurer; and Selena Evans, librarian. PAGE FORTY-SIX BUSY FINGERS ITH a great deal of sweat and toil, a group of Pulaski High ' s students has completed its second successful year in the Typing Club. Much to their own surprise they are finding themselves pecking out whole words instead of just separate letters as they did at the beginning of this year. Even though to a certain extent the hunt and peck system still prevails, a great improvement over former work can be perceived. Under the careful and excellent instruction of their sponsor, the reserved Miss Elizabeth Jones, the students learned the fundamentals and the practical part of commercial typing. The club, consisting of ten girls and one boy, elected as its president, the capable Miss Helen Jordan. Mary Lou Hutchens served in the capacity of its secretary. The above mentioned boy found himself the lone male among the group of the fair sex and felt conspicuous and amazed. In the latter part of the year, they took up business transactions and the correct ways to secure jobs. They felt this would help them in years to come. May they continue to type their way to Success! TYPING CLUB First Row: Annabel Saylor, Mary Pettyjohn, Alberta Thompson, Fannie Sue Andrews.

PAGE FORTY-SEVEN Prettiest Gir I . v l� jT.Peqqn Lauqhon SPORTS • • • ATHLETES OF P. H. S. year ' s sports displayed the true spirit of keen and eager competition backed by clean sportsmanship, determination, and the will to win or to go down fighting. The crowds that thronged to Calfee Park witnessed exhibitions of enthusiasm and vitality that roused their admiration and respect many times throughout the ac- tion-packed schedule of high-spirited Orioles. The phony idea that 1941 football at Pulaski High was to be without the usual stamina and forceful playing that this year ' s two lettermen team heaped upon its opponents by Blitzkrieg ' teamwork was soon proved wrong. They were led by Captain Guy Whitaker at guard and fellow wearer of the Pulaski P, Bow’ Haislip, at end. Under the direction of newly arrived Coach J. Ward Long, the small, inexperienced, but agile team journeyed to its first clash of the the season on September twenty-six against the Martinsville Bulldogs. The starting line-up included: Bill Miller, left end: N. D. Artrip, left tackle: Fred Alley, left guard; George Gerberich, center; Guy Whitaker, right guard; Ralph Gemmell, right tackle; Bow Haislip, right end; Hencil Hawkins, quarterback; Slick 1 Tench, left halfback; Popeye Farmer, right halfback; and Von Moody at the fullback position. At the end of the game even though the Orioles tried to bring their last minute drive to the pay dirt, the scoreboard registered 7-0 in favor of Martinsville. The following week at home, the Pulaski team took no chance of being stymied by the element of time. Early in the game with the Radford Bobcats they started to chalk up the final score of 20-0. On October eleventh, with the spirit of rivalry PAGE FIFTY • LET’S GO, TEAM CHEERLEADERS Catherine Hinton, Dewitt Creger, Rutty Ryan, Tiny Edwards, Frank Akers and competitive football in their hearts and minus the injured Guy Whitaker, the Orioles defeated the Narrow ' s Green Wave to the tune of 6-0 in a moment when even water boy Alfalfa hoarsed his lungs as he watched quarterback Buddy Kegley intercept a Narrows’ pass which began the Pulaski drive to victory. The William Fleming Game retains a place in the mind of every Pulaski fan as the tops in Oriole sportsmanship. It was also the occasion when fiery Jack Caldwell and active end Douglas Alley broke into the Pulaski line-up to help keep a weighty team on its home ground to the score of 7-0. The Orange and Black clearly displayed their fight and caused the Roanoke team to quake and requake by the brilliant plays and fine teamwork of the Oriole backfield and line. By October twenty-six with a record of two wins and two losses the Orioles attacked William Byrd on the Calfee turf and went down to the disheartening score of 27-0. Marion, the team with the band, entered into contest with Coach Long ' s team and despite a series of completed passes on the part of the Orioles they squeezed through with the large end of the horn on a score of 7-6. That bitter day of November seventh is the memorable date Pearisburg failed to use their Red Devils forcefully enough to thaw themselves out and keep the Orioles, reinforced by the debut of heavy-set Pulaski tackier Crowell, from a victory of 6-0. The Maroon Wytheville team at their own field on November fourteenth returned to their dressing room at the half trailing 7-6; they came out, and returned at the end of their season with a triumph of 12-7, with a trophy, and with the knowledge that however they might have outscored the arrogant and courageous Orioles they could PAGE FIFTY-ONE BOYS ' VARSITY FOOTBALL First Row: Von Moody, Kenneth Farmer, Douglas Alley, George Gerberich, Guy Whitaker, captain; N.

The football letters were presented at a banquet given for Bill Dudley by the University Alumni Association on February fourteenth at the Maple Shade Inn. The regular starting line-up which began the Martinsville game received letters in addition to Buddy Kegley, Ohmer Crowell and Manager Frank Moore. Soon after the football season ' s close, basketball swung into the spot and carried the added event of the fairer sex ' s entrance onto the floor of athletic contests. Headed by Captain Popeye Farmer and B uddy Kegley, forwards; Groseclose, center; and a Miller-Haislip combination as guards, the Pulaski Varsity climbed the class B conference ladder with ten wins and four losses. The reliable and alert second team presented: Franklin Newsom, Jack Caldwell and Douglas Aust, forwards; Von Moody, George Gerberich and Hencil Hawkins, as guards. The season ' s games were composed of seventeen games, fourteen of which were conference games with the best school teams in this area including William Fleming, William Byrd, Christiansburg and Blacksburg. The quick-passing Orioles were defeated only by Fleming and Christiansburg. The former was the winner of the class B tournament. The schedule of the Orioles was climaxed by their entrance in the Southwest Basketball Conference held at Roanoke over the week-end of March seventh and eighth as well as by the Faculty Game in which Potts Kegley made six points for the overawed and needy faculty. PAGE FIFTY-TWO Our Coaches MISS JEAN BUNDY and MR. J. WARD LONG The active and energetic J. V. ' s were lead by Captain Douglas Aust and supported by Charles Watts, Alec Haller, Harrell Tester, Sam Lowman, Bates Pauley, Stephen Roustio, Charles Hiltzeimer, David James, Randolph Crockett and Billy Richardson. Their games with Radford, Marion and Christiansburg displayed promise for these younger basketball athletes. Basketball letters were awarded to the first string varsity line-up and to Jack Caldwell, Bill Groseclose, Barton Case, Manager; and to Carl Smith, J. V. manager. The cheerleaders, enthusiastic, energetic, did themselves proud ' throughout the athletic year at the home of the Orange and Black with their clever methods of leading cheers. They not only had a yell for the home lads and lassies, but before the echo of that yell died they were on their toes with one for the visitors. A handshake is deserved by the able head-cheerleader, R uff y ’ Ryan, and her animated assistants, Catherine Hinton, Dewitt Creger, Tiny Edwards and Frank Akers. Miss Jean Bundy, an alumna of Madison College, and Coach Ward Long, a graduate of Bridgewater College, led the year ' s sports. Mr. Long, who managed football from 34- 38 and actively indulged in basketball and baseball at his Alma Mater, found his first year a successful and pleasant one. Miss Bundy encountered a rush of feminine joy over her coaching of the year ' s Girls ' basketball team. During college she took part in hockey, tennis, basketball, swimming and majored in mathe- matics and physical education. Early in the season baseball promised to have a lively schedule with anticipated contests againsi last year ' s bitter rivals, Dublin and Draper, with other games against Radford, Narrows, and probably Hillsville.

The transportation difficulty reared its ugly head and various means of travel were hunted with growing aversion for those bothersome Japs. George Gerberich, the first base captain, resumed his last year ' s stand. The line-up for the 42 season brought forth: Slick Tench at second base; Hencil Hawkins, short stop: Popeye ' Farmer, third base and outfield; Benny Webb, mainstay of the mound; Hez Malone, an outfielder, behind the bat. Outfielders George Rash, Don Coordes and Douglas Aust expected an active season; as well as fielders Glenn Aust, Ralph Gemmeli and Bates Pauley, who awaited their turns at the pitching box. Carl Smith and Don Coordes stood by as reserve catchers. Additional players whose only handicap was inexperience were: Randolph Crockett, Billy Richardson, Douglas Crowell, David James, Jimmy Jones and French Harris. In bringing this account of sports here at P. H. S. for the past year to a close, it may be said that the obviousness and assurance of sportsmanship and animated playing were never lacking in a grand year of athletics. May sports at Pulaski High School always be as spirited. PAGE FIFTY-FOUR BATTLING Pali that kail” . BASKETEERS . Make, that Qaal” S A spectator in the high school gymnasium during basketball season, you no doubt found upon departing from a game that you still possessed two good ear drums even though the above remarks had beat upon them with no uncertain force during some of the contests between the fairer sex. These merry basketeers, led by the capable and enthusiastic co-captains, Mary K. Ryan and Frances Adair, rode out upon the floor gallantly at the beginning of each of their contests. Smiles, confidence, faith and high morale covered the faces of these spirited lassies. Then came the awaited whistle of the referee, a toss of the coin, and all-out-victory was waged. Each game afforded them four more quarters in which to attain the things they practiced so faithfully day after day under the watchful eye of Miss Jean Bundy, who ably taught them the skills of the game. She smiled with them through their victories and encouraged them during their defeats. At a glance one could detect the look of sportsmanship, character, all-out-for-victory, sense of humor, and the spirit of fair play they displayed. These qualities will be a part of them not for just today, but for tomorrow as well. Each teammate, whether a regular, a reserve, or an all-time bench warmer sought glory and victory not for herself alone. Rather, it was the glory of their school reflected in them that they considered uppermost. Whether you saw a player on the floor, on the bench, or part time on either, do not think that one filled a larger place than another.

Who could ask for prompter service than to be hit- — - presto! — between the eyes by a bar of candy, a bag of peanuts, or a package of gum that was tossed from top to bottom of the football stadium at each game this season? Should one happen to wonder who was behind this dead-aim arm, he was certainly not surprised to know it belonged to a Monogram Girl, because this club is representative of the seasonal girl athletes of our school. The master- mind behind all of this activity was Miss Jean Bundy, sponsor. Each year the members find it sporting fun to goat the new pledges to their club. They are proud that so many have reached this high an athletic level. Their activities are comprised of social ones, gay ones and those of more serious nature — such as keeping their treasury reading on the right side of the ledger. This year their greatest privilege was to assist in erecting a plaque in memory of an ex-coach, John Davidson. The life he lived with us is truly serving as an idyllic pattern for each member of this club. Because of the small membership, each wearer of the P held an office. Mary Katherine Ryan was president; with Helen Jordan assisting as vice-president. Frances Adair was secretary; Reba Heck, sergeant-at-arms; and Libby Turner was their student council representative. Jane Ann Hogg balanced the budget as treasurer. GIRLS ' MONOGRAM CLUB From Left to Right: Miss Bundy, sponsor; Frances Adair, Helen Jordan, ' Potts Kegley, mascot; Jane Ann Hogg, Mary K.

The requirements for entrance to this club were: The acceptance of an invitation, maintaining and upholding the code of sportsmanship, continued conduct as a gentleman, and carrying out their school duties. Failure to meet these requirements resulted in expulsion from the club. The members acted as ushers at the basketball games at which they sold candy and soft drinks. They also raised money by a monthly colle ction of dues from which they bought each senior member a varsity monogram sweater. At graduation, a trophy was presented to the outstanding graduating athlete. These activities were sponsored by the energetic Mr. J. Ward Long. The officers elected were: Bow Haislip, president; George Gerberich, vice- president; Popeye Farmer, secretary; and Buddy Kegley, treasurer.

This election was held at the end of the 40- 4 1 term. At the beginning of the fall semester, the sponsors, Miss Madge McFall and Mr. Foy Aust, were chosen with much confidence in their ability to aid in the publication of our annual. The naming of the staffs was made at the beginning of the 4 1 - 42 term, also. The members of the business staff had to be selected with one requirement in mind especially, that of high pressure salesmanship. Under the competent leadership of Jean Edwards, combined with the untiring efforts put forth by Mr. Aust, the business staff attained its end, to secure the money. Her staff included; Colleen Hall, Patsy Whitaker, Robert Dickinson and Billy Groseclose. Miss McFall and the editorial staff sacrificed many afternoons and nights to accomplish the task of publishing the 1942 issue of the Pulaski High School ' s annual. The hard-working editor, Helen Jordan, paved the way for another winning bid in the state competition of the best high school annuals. The staff, other than editor, included: Patsy Miller, assistant editor; Ben Knapp and Tommy Silcox, photographers; Eleanor Imboden, photography editor; Barton Case and Elsie Weeks, literary editors; Bonnie Jeanne Gallimore and Polly Gatewood, art editors; Lois Rosenbaum and Frank Stafford, miscellaneous editors; and Helen Rhudy and Ruth Wallace, typists.

Do you know that only twenty-two subjects were offered then? There are now forty-two subjects offered. The Commercial Course was introduced in 1925, which included two years of book- keeping, two years of typing, and two years of shorthand. In the year of ifs organization this course entered a student in the state contest, who won high honors. P. H. S. was the second high school in the state to offer a course in Diversified Occupations. Starting in 37- 38, this was offered fo a limited number of students. In the spring and summer of 39, the gym and Home Economics Cottage were erected. The gym has a value of $35,000. We have one of the most up-to-date cottages in Virginia and are proud of the care which has been given it. The course in industrial arts was initiated in ' 40- 4 1 . A large room in the basement was converted into the shop, ' which contains very modern equipment. Sports have always played a large part in the activities of P. H. S. Do you know that in 1914 a baseball team was organized? In 1925, football and basketball were introduced, but there were never very many people attending the games. Now, well — judge for yourself the crowds that attend the games! And the school spirit displayed on these occasions!! One year the Girls ' Basketball team was the champion of Southwest Virginia. In ' 39, our swimming team, the Goldfish, won the state championship. Everyone was proud of this group of boys. There has always been extra-curricular activities combined with the regular work. Several clubs were organized, some having names that stir our imagination. For instance, the Is it Who? Who Is It? Club, ' and the Bachelors ' Club, the Globetrotters Club, and many others.
