1943 VOLUME XXII Published By STUDENT BODY PULASKI HIGH SCHOOL Pulaski, Virginia COLLEEN HALL Editor-in-Chief ALMA JUNE COLLINS Business Manager atcwo t W HAT we are and what we have been at Pulaski High School are revealed in the pages which follow. We are living In momentous times and each of us has a special task to per- form In facing reality. Our tasks have been made more difficult by the unchartered course of a turbulent world; but we, the youth of America, willingly and eagerly accept our responsibility. As we move onward In our course we pray for guidance in preserving the principles to which America gave birth, and we seek to restore the peace and happiness which she has treasured. a Lan. WE RESPECTIVELY DEDICATE OURSELVES TO THE GREATER GLORY OF OUR FLAG O say, can you see, by the dawn ' s early light. What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight. O ' er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming! And the rockets ' red glare, the bombs bursting in air. Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there: O say, does the star spangled banner yet wave. O ' er the land of the free and the home of the brave? MR. PRUET S INCE coming from Alabama in 1939 to take over the duties of principal, Mr. Pruet has won the respect and admiration of all who have come In contact with him, both in the school and the community. Among the Improvements taking place since then are new clubs and activities which provide a place for all students in their programs, an expanded curriculum with many new subjects, and great improve- ments in school spirit. It would be difficult to enumerate the many things which Mr. Pruet, aided by his untiring staff of faculty members, has done for the improvement of our school. It has been said that a school consists of three parts — the students, their parents, and the faculty. We students feel that Mr. Pruet and the other members of the faculty have met their obligations ably. May we do our part as well and continue to progress and maintain the high ideals which they have set before us. Top row: Miss Virginia Alexander, B. A. Mr. Foy Aust, B. S. Miss Virginia Carter, B. S.

Treasurer SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS DON COORDES JACK CALDWELL PATSY WHITAKER ROLLIN WHITE HEY h ave come a long way since that morning in September four years ago, these Seniors. Each year has ' brought its little disappointments and difficulties, but these have been outnumbered greatly by the many enriching experiences of these years. After becoming Seniors, they started out in fine fashion to reach all their objectives, and, at the same time, to leave the school knowing it had benefited by their presence. Although they had to live up to their title of dignity, there was still fun and frolic. This was included in the parties, the Senior Play, the Senior Prom, and all the other social events of the year. Even though the going was a little rough, and it seemed as if the anticipated goal would never be reached, they arrived and found it to be a goal well worth striving for. As the seniors prepare to go out into the world, each in a different direction, may they take with them always the fond memory of the individuals who aided them in making their Senior year a full and beneficial one. These were: Mrs. Aulden Lemons, Mrs. Virginia Hester, and Miss Virginia French. To them are extended best wishes for the future. The Seniors leave their gratitude to dear P.H.S. for providing them with so many happy hours. It Is diffi- cult to leave school and friends, even though greater tasks and adventure lie ahead.

They were very active in sports as well as scholastic achievements. These seniors-elect have indeed contributed much to the school, in that they have displayed an admirable spirit of determination and a spirit of co- operation. They have shown the ir ability to overcome all obstacles in their path. They owe much to the teachers who guided them. These were: Mrs. Luther Farris, Miss Edwina Grubb, Miss Ruth Simpson, and Miss Elizabeth Rapp. Juniors, do not slow down in your efforts, but study and work, and if each Junior does his parf, the class of ' 44 will be one that will be long remembered.

They have overcome every small difficulty which may have challenged their courageous determination to make their sophomore class a profitable one in every way. Their very capable leaders were Mrs. Thomas Dobyns, Mr. John Largent, Miss Lorraine Thompson, and Miss Nell Hall. Under their guidance the sophomores have made quite a place for themselves in the school; both in athletics and social events as well as in scholastic matters. Also guiding and leading them were their officers to whom they owe much; for they have been patient and helpful leaders. Being the upperclassmen of next year each must realize his responsibility and redouble his efforts in order that he may be fully prepared to enter Into his Junior year. Judging from the achievements of this year this Junior class will Indeed be an excellent one.

This seemed rather fascinating to them for it was quite different from anything in the grades. They may have encountered difficulties at times, but with them were always happy experiences. Always there was the anticipation of the three years ahead, each one to be more pleasant than the other. These alert youngsters will surely make their school proud of them. They were guided by their home room teachers, Mrs. William Woodward, Miss Elna Spradlin, Miss Elizabeth Painter, Miss Virginia Carter, and Miss Laura Dalton. They proved able leaders in helping the Freshmen accustom themselves to the strange newness of their first year in high school. This year has proved a very profitable one to the Freshmen and school alike; and now, each Freshman is looking forward to the years ahead. May your experiences become more enriched as you gain a deep appreciation for our school. men iLlJkl lEiiH « rniiTn H lli ■■■IB III III 1 i Louise Abell Dan Akers Douglas Akers Frieda Akers Lea Akers Catherine Andrew ' Cooper Andrew Rush Andrews ..

This year the sixth grades, as well as the seventh grades, have participated in numerous assembly programs and were a great help during the Farmers ' Ball with their contestants in the amateur hour.

I HE production of our 84 page annual, aided by the consumption of several boxes of aspirin, provided a year of real work on the part of the annual staff. Other than gath- ering a few hundred pictures, writing several hundred lines of copy, matching the copy with pictures, and checking for mistakes, the process was simple. Yet the staff: Editor-in- chief, Colleen Hall; Associate Editors, Raymond Phibbs, Patsy Whitaker, Betsy Scott and Bill Harris and Donna Smith; Photographers, Tom Silcox and Ben Knapp, under the able spon- sorship of Miss Virginia French, seemed to get some enjoyment out of working 1o put out an annual with the aim of pleasing everyone. Financing the efforts of the editorial staff are the ad-abducters who took on much of the difficult routine work of the annual. They were Alma June Collins, Business Mana- ger, and her assistants, Tiny Edwards and Lois Kegley with Mr. Foy Aust as sponsor. We present the 1943 Criole, hoping that it will meet with your approval.

I HE Beta Club is one of the honorary organizations of the school. The purpose of the club is to promote scholarship, leadership, citizenship, and character through- out the school as well as in the Individual. During the five years of Its existence, this organization has been very active In various school activities. Soon after the beginning of school the Beta Club held Its first meeting with Miss Lynwood Kinder elected as sponsor; Jean Rhoades, president; Colleen Hall, vice- president; Lucille Huff, secretary; and Patsy Whitaker, treasurer. New members taken in the club included: Glen Aust, Houston Dalton, Mildred Jones, Frank Newsome, Doris Owen, Raymond Phibbs, Billy Saunders, Donna Smith, Clara Nell Tester, Louise Thompson, Rollin White, Doris Southern, Ruth Cummings, Mercedes Davidson, Ellen Eskridge, Selena Evans, Alex Haller, Dick Miller, Helen Oglesby, Bill Richardson, Helen Black, Doris Scott, and Douglas Dobbins. Old members of the club were: Jane Ann Hogg, Jean Rhoades, Tiny Edwards, Colleen Hall, Lucille Huff, Von Moody, Patsy Whitaker, Betsy Scott, and Alma June Collins. PAGE THIRTY- SEVEN J l- L — j . . .

I { 1 T he purpose of this club is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the com- munity high standards of Christian character. These girls were very ably led by Jane Ann Hogg, president; Mary Lee Phillips, vice-president; Colleen Hall, secretary; and Alma June Collins, treasurer. Miss Nell Hall and Mrs. Aulden Lemons were sponsors. It was customary for the girls to attend church In a body at least once a month. On December 18, the Girls ' Hi-Y gave a formal dance In the gymnasium; this started a series of colorful Christmas holiday activities. The girls held two joint meetings with the Boys ' Hi-Y Club as well as several enjoyable supper meetings. They displayed a great deal of enthusiasm through their attendance at the meetings which were held In the Home Ec. Cottage.

T he Boys ' HI-Y Club, an organization standing for Christian fellowship and clean living, had a very busy year contributing In many ways to a successful school year. With Augustus Raunor as president and Coach Long as sponsor, meetings were held every two weeks and the club attended church In a body on the Sunday following each meeting. At Christmas time the club, following an annual custom, prepared a huge basket of food and gave It to an unfortunate family In the community. As a dally duty the club raised and lowered the flag In front of the school. During the year, members N. D. Artrip and Hencil Hawkins were called to enter the armed service. The club made a patriotic poster containing the names of all Pulaski High boys who have entered the service for their country. The annual HI-Y spring dance held on April 15th In the gymnasium was an out- standing success. As a parting gift the HI-Y bought a War Bond for the School the amount of the bond was defermlned by the funds In the club treasury at the end of the school year.

X ITH the express purpose of leaving our school a better place than they found ” ’ it, the Student Council set about to accomplish this goal. The student body elected Raymond Phibbs, president; and Glen Aust, vice-president. The Council was immediately organized and Colleen Hall and Alex Haller were chosen secretary and treasurer, respectively. Mr. Foy Aust, the sponsor, proved to be an invaluable asset to this group. The membership was composed of twenty-four representatives from the various home rooms and organizations. In addition to these, several students from the sixth and seventh grades attended meetings in order to become acquainted with the activ- ities of the high school. Ably led by their president, this group conducted its first project of the year, their annual second-hand book exchange. This not only aided the students in obtaining good school books at lower cost but also provided money with which to conduct the Council ' s many projects. Also sponsored by the Student Council was a Farmers ' Ball and Amateur Night, which was very entertaining and proved to be one of the most successful activities of the year. This group also rendered many smaller but none the less Important services to the school during the year. We all appreciate the work of the Council, which aimed alv ays at making P.H.S. a better school.

The club was started as ' a health and charm class, but at the Insistence of the members It was organized Into a club. The charter members are: Margaret Black, president; Mildred Hoback, vice-president; June Thompson, secretary, and Helen Oglesby, treasurer; Fanny Andrews, Sue Carper, Tiny Edwards, Joyce Hill, Helen Hinton, Mildred Jones, and Elizabeth Howard. The following pledges were taken to the Prim Priscilla fold In Ocfober: Helen Black, Iris Con- ley, Mercedes Davidson, Ellen Eskridge, Kafchy Hinton, Jane Hogg, Mary Lou Hutchins, Lois Keg- ley, LaVerne Morrison, Betsy Scott, Donna Smith, and Margaret Watts. The Initial event sponsored by the Prim Priscilla ' s was the Homecoming Dance held In the Gym after the Wm. Fleming game. On April 2nd, the Prim Priscilla Club sponsored the first Spring Carnival In the history of Pulaski High School. This event was a combination of Carnival and Coronation. At I0;00 o ' clock of that evening Mayor A. T. Eskridge crowned King Harrison and Mildred Jones as King and Queen of the Carnival. These students were chosen by a popular vote of the student body. Colleen Hall and Bob Stevens were elected Princess and Prince Royal. The crown bearers were Ellen Eskridge and Bill Miller. The Prim Priscilla Club hopes to make this an annual affair. Mrs. Hester and Miss Carter were co-sponsors. First row: Tiny Edwards, Jane Ann Hogg, Donna Smith, Ellen Eskridge.

P ROBABLY the most active of Pulaski High ' s clubs during the first of the year was the Girls ' Pep Club. At all the home football games, despite below freezing tem- perature these girls were out selling candy. At times it looked as though rationing would get the best of them, but they always seemed to come through. If at some of the bonfires your ear drums were practically at the bursting point, it was probably because of a Pep Club Girl standing next to you yelling for the Gle Alma Mater. At the Pep Meeting for the Wytheville game, the girls made posters for each foot- ball player and carried them down Main Street and to the game. Their officers were Donna Smith, president; Jane Ann Hogg, vice-president: Tiny Edwards, secretary; and Ellen Eskridge, treasurer. The Girls ' Monogram Club sponsored the Pep Club, and their officers were identical. Qitli yVL one a c a H i 1 Front to back: Donna Smith, Jane Ann Hogg, Tiny Edwards, Ellen Eskridge, Lois Kegley, Joyce Hill, Alma June Col lins, and Mrs, Hester. T his group of feminine athletes started things off right with a membership of nine. From these Donna Smith was chosen as Chief Executive, Jane Ann Hogg as her able assistant, Tiny Edwards as their expert secretary, and Ellen Eskridge as cus- todian of the cash, and as sponsor, their competent and ever-popular overseer, Mrs. Hester. They sponsored many successful events during the year. Among these were a number of bonfires, ably supervised by the lassies; the sale of refreshments at foot- ball games, despite descending mercury, aided by the Pep Club which they organ- ized and sponsored: and, finally their part in sponsoring, along with the Prim Priscilla Club, the Spring Carnival. These girls also played an active part in the intramural basketball schedule. May these active feminine athletes continue to set an example of good sports- manship for the girls of this school.

' TARTING the year well, with ten members back from last year, the Boys ' Mono- gram Club soon got under way with Coach Long as sponsor. Hencil Hawkins was elected to till the office of president; N. D. Artrlp, as vice-president; and Frosty Aust, as secretary and treasurer. In November they got down to business In electing new members from those who had won letters In Baseball and Football: Don Coordes, Cray Farmer, Dick Hardy, Ulysses Hull, Alfred Mundy, Bates Pauley, Ceorge Rash, Bobby Stevens, and Wesley Vaughan were Initiated, with appropriate ceremony, at this time. More members were Initiated In the Spring from those who had won Basketball letters. They began In February sponsoring dances In the Cym; the students apparently enjoyed this form of recreation very much. A phonograph was used by the club to supply music for these dances. We all believe that these athletes of P.H.S. will continue to hold high Ideals of honor and good sportsmanship as they have In the past. leetlealet . . Left to right: Tiny Edwards, Robert Moore, Donna Smith, Mildred Jones, Johnny Rollins, Betty Ann Hall. E arly this year the student body selected six capable and spirited leaders to conduct cheers at our athletic events. The students chose Donna Smith, Tiny Edwards, and Mildred Jones trom the Senior Class; Robert Moore trom the Junior Class; Johnny Rollins from the Sophomore Class; and Betty Ann Hall from the Fresh- man Class. The Monogram Club elected Donna Smith to lead the group. Donna proved capable in her leadership and valuable In her contributions in the way of new songs and yells for the school. Regardless of the weather, this spirited group was present at every game to see that everyone left happy but hoarse from yelling. Their cooperation and ever beam- ing countenances encouraged the excellent school spirit displayed throughout the games of the year. P. CE FORTY-FIVE eniot Qt e e It . . . LTHOUGH not getting things under way until after Christmas the Senior Glee ' ' Club made progress under the competent leadership of Mrs. Farris. Melodious sweetness could be heard ringing throughout P. H. S. on Friday morning when practice time came for these music makers. One of the high-lights of the year was the Spring Carnival in which the club participated by entertaining the merry-makers with a number of selections as well as sponsoring a booth. This being the sixth year of the Glee Club ' s organization, it has seen the mem- bership grow to a number of over 90 members; this is the largest number in its his- tory. At their first business meeting their leaders were chosen as follows; Colleen Hall, president; Billy Harris, vice-president; Mercedes Davidson, recording secretary; Helen Freeman, corresponding secretary; Lois Kegley, treasurer; Nellie Cecil, libra- rian; Mildred Jones, reporter; and Ruth Cumming, accompanist.

This is the Junior Glee Club, the musical minded Freshmen and Sophomores, whose number was so great this year that a new club had to be formed for them. Mrs. Farris ably led this group which outnumbered even the Senior Club by having a membership of over 1 00. With the Senior Club they were instrumental in helping with the Spring Carnival; for they, too, sang a few numbers for the entertainment of their listeners. They chose wide-awake officers in Mildred Elkins, president; Helen Landis, vice-president; Catherine Hinton, corresponding secretary; Freda Webb, recording secretary; Lois Bratton, treasurer; Betty Ann Hall, librarian; and accompanist, Hilda Meredith, who kept the club on Its toes throughout the year.

Ward Long and Assistant Coach Jack Russell, the sports department began immediately to show promise of having one of the best records in many years. Things started off right with a football team that lost only two games. Good future material was also evident in the less-publicized Junior Varsity, which provided the Orioles with plenty of competition in scrimmage. The bright outlook continued into the basketball season, which, despite trans- portation difficulties and an abbreviated schedule, not to mention the loss of Assistant Coach Russell to the armed forces, was the best in many years. The J.V. ' s and the Girls ' Varsity were also forced to shorten their schedules, but they played very well in the few games in which they participated. While we are on the sports department let us not forget our fine Gym, and the able guidance of Mr. Long in this department. Also worthy of mention Is the Intra- mural schedule of the girls, the purpose of which was to make up for the lack of a regular schedule.

Despite a defeat at the hands of the Martinsville Bulldogs In the season ' s opener, the Orioles, under the leadership of Co-Capfalns Artrip and Haislip continued un- daunted In a season which Included numerous brilliant victories °nly one other loss. This fine season was capped by a 14-6 victory over their arch-nval, Wytheville, this gained for them the prized victory cup for the next year. Many of our players have been or will be lost either In graduating or to the armed forces. We are confident that those who take their places will carry on to Victory for P.H.S. P.

W HEN Assistant Coach Jack Russell issued a call for Junior Varsity candidates early in the season there was an enthusiastic response from a large number of aspirants. This squad soon gained experience under the able tutoring of their coach. Although the J.V. ' s did not have an opportunity to play any regular games, they proved their worth by providing spirited opposition for the Varsity in scrimmage. They soon showed that they had the ability a nd the spirit to take their places on the Varsity squad next year. In the years to come most of the J.V. ' s will be on the Varsity eleven. When they take to the field next year we know that they will continue, both in victory and in defeat, to show the spirit and sportsmanship that Pulaski teams have shown in the past.

Second row: Carl Smith, Alex Haller, Hencil Hawkins, Frosty Aust, Titus Cox, Charles V atts, Coach Long. I HE bright prospects that we had seen realized in the football season stayed with the boys of P.H.S. when the basketball season neared. Shortly before the begin- ning of the season ten candidates reported for practice — six from last year ' s squad, three from the J.V. ' s, and one newcomer. Under the guidance of J. ' VVard Long they soon began to show the form that made them one of the most formidable teams in this section. In the first game of the season they showed themselves as a strong team in downing a fast alumni five. These boys continued in winning form throughout the season, including in their accomplishments, a thrilling last-minute defeat of a big Christiansburg quint. In spite of war conditions which cut down the schedule a great deal, we were able to have the district class B tournament here March 5 and 6. Our basketball players made things complete by winning the tournament with successive victories over Blacksburg and William Fleming. The tournament went off without a hitch, and our school received many compliments on both the basketball team and the way that the event was handled. The only loss suffered by our team was in a post-season game for the half-state championship. After trailing for most of the game Graham High of Bluefield sank two quick baskets in the closing minutes and succeeded in holding the Orioles to only one in this time. We all have a right to be proud of this team that represented P.H.S. so well on the basketball floor. PAGE FIFTY-ONE First row: Bill Richardson, Sammy Lowman, Wiley Hilman, Harry Humphrey, Bates Pauley, Harold Tester. Second row: Harry Silcox, Jimmy Collins, Potts Kegley. Fred Thrasher, Alfred Mundy, John Lyons, Trigg James, and Coach Long. L ike all athle+lc teams this year, the Junior Varsity was affected a great deal by transportation difficulties. They had the opportunity to play only a few games, but they showed up well despite a shortened schedule. In a season that included games with Radford, Christiansburg, and a number of local aggregations, the juniors came out with a fine record. Although the entire coaching job fell on J. Ward Long when Assistant Coach Jack Russell left to enter the armed forces, he seemed to find time to develop this promising group of bas- keteers. With most of the Varsity stars graduating this year, it will be the responsibility of the Junior Varsity to provide material for future teams. We all feel confident that these boys will do their job well. PAGE FIFTY-TWO 1 First row: Donna Smith, Jane Ann Hogg, and Tiny E dwards, Co-Captains, and Lois Kegley. Second row: Betsy Scott, Margaret Watts, Eleanor Hall, Sue Carper, Ellen Eskridge, Elizabeth Howard, Mercedes Davidson, Jo Hall, Miss Spradlin, and Mr. Long. Third row: Elizabeth Humphreys, Sarah Tice, Margaret Hudson, Joyce Hill, Barbara Graham, and Nancy Edwards. P erhaps the most aftected by transportation troubles were the feminine basketeers of P.H.S. who originally had made no plans for a regular season. Later they were able to arrange a much-shortened schedule and began practicing under the coaching of Miss Spradlin and the leadership of Captain Jane Ann Hogg. This team turned in a creditable record despite their Infrequent chances to play other teams. To make up for this lack of the usual program an Intramural schedule was begun about the middle of the year with teams from each home room competing. This not only remedied their problem but provided a chance for a good many more to play. Whatever their future, we believe that these feminine sports enthusiasts of P.H.S. will continue to strive toward good sportsmanship and victory. P.«iCE FIl ' TY-TH REE . . . Left to right: Jane Ann Hogg, Tiny Edwards, Donna Smith, and Alma June Collins. I HIS year, the first Girls ' Intramural Athletic Program was started In Pulaski High I School. Jane Ann Hogg was chosen head of the sports program. Heads of sports were; Donna Smith, basketball; Tiny Edwards, volleyball; and Alma June Collins, softball. Greater emphasis will be placed on Individual Sports In the near future. This program was Inaugurated as a substitute for a varsity program, which the administra- tion felt would not be practical due to the National Emergency. Interest and partici- pation during the mid-winter months was only fair due to a last minute decision to sponsor a girls ' varsity basketball team on a limited basis. The Intramural Program Is based on a point system, by which letters and awards may be earned. A girl may start her Intramural career as a Freshman, with a Monogram as a future goal. The students received the Spring softball season with great enthu- siasm. The program was sponsored by Mr. Long, Miss Spradlin and Mrs. Hester. PAGE FIFTY-FOUR A fter a county-wide scrap drive, In which students participated, everyone took for granted that all the scrap around Pulaski had been turned In. Then students of P.H.S. joined In an all-out effort In a clean- up to make sure that nothing had been missed. An elaborate advertising campaign started the clean-up with enthusiasm. Glass jars were arranged In the hall for the purpose of keeping a record of the number of pounds of scrap turned In by each home room. As a magazine campaign was In progress at the same time, one black walnut was used to represent 100 pounds of scrap and one white walnut was used to represent $1.00 collected for subscriptions. A $25 war bond was offered to the person selling the greatest number of magazines and also one for the person collecting the greatest number pounds of scrap. Second prize. In each case, was $10 cash with the third prize being $5. There were also thirty other prizes offered In each campaign. Those receiving awards for the magazine campaign were: 1st Prize, Billy Thornhill; 2nd Prize, David James; 3rd Prize, Earl Surber. Those receiving awards In the scrap drive were: 1st Prize, Alma June Collins; 2nd Prize, Bob Whitman; 3rd Prize, Bob Stevens and Marie Tickle. Miss French ' s home room of the high school and Miss Pendelton ' s room of the grades were given all the nuts as an award for having sold the greatest number of magazines and collecting the greatest number of pounds of scrap. The campaign was In progress for three weeks and students during this time sold over $700 worth of sub- scriptions, collected over 58,000 pounds of scrap Iron, over 1,000 pounds scrap metal, over 1,000 pounds scrap rubber and 500 pounds of other scrap. 510 victrola records were also collected. Awards were made at the Pulaski Theatre where the entire student body, over 700 students, were treated to a movie by the management.
