Of course, no year book can carry a full account of the joys, worries, and hundreds of little happenings that go to make up a school; however, we feel ' this record will forever remind us of the volumes of unwritten memories which our eyes, alone, can see between the lines. ' ' Ours is a year marked by the ravages of war. But to us has been given the blessing of continuing our scholastic endeavors undisturb ed by personal suffering; for this we are eternally grateful. Sacrifice, as some know it, has not come to us. Until the day of peace, when man will lift man up, rather than tread upon his broken body, may we, too, stand ready to make such sacrifices as may be necessary to obtain a world declaration of independence. l a n 10 ©edicalV To those who sat among us As students, day by day; But no longer linger with us Because war has taken them away. May this page be just a symbol Of the fellows we adore; To those returning to us, And those who come no more. PAGE SIX PACE SEVEN V 1 R. E. G. PRUET, our principal has helped and assisted us in many ways, as a ' ” teacher and as an advisor. Since coming to Pulaski, in 1939, Mr. Pruet has won the admiration of all those who know him, students and teachers alike. It was through his wise and careful plan- ning of our school activities and studies, that we students have had another successful year in our school life. We wish to thank him for his patience, and we appreciate his efforts and those of our faculty in preparing us to become better fitted to enter our chosen vocations. May our Alma Mater continue under their competent guidance and leadership. First row: Second row: MISS VIRGINIA ALEXANDER, B.A. MR. FOY AUST, B.S. MISS EULA DAY BARNHART, B.S.

This Freshman group wasn ' t a mere ordinary group of students, but it was the class that would lead Pulaski High School students in one of the most suc- cessful years of its history. The Senior teachers: Mrs. Luther Farris, Miss Clara Mae Bolt, and Mrs. Thomas Dobyns did a great deal to further their knowledge and serve as an excellent example to the entire group. The Seniors will leave P.H.S. with a sad expression, but with glorious memories of their many achievements and happy experiences.

The Junior Class has this year not only lived up to this title, but it has also been very active in athletic and social events. They have worked hard this year in order to be well prepared for their Senior year. These senior-elects’’ have been guided by their capable teachers: Miss Ruth Simpson, Miss Mamie Roberts, and Miss Pansy Ratcliffe. They have also received aid from their patient and understanding officers. We shall always remember their delightful Junior Play ’Bashful Bobbie as well as the Junior-Senior entertainment.

Many have suddenly grown up during all the trials of their freshman year. Others still have this growing up to do. They have all done their best in the magazine, Community Chest, Tuberculosis, March of Dimes and Red Cross drives. They have shown qualities of industry, leadership, and responsibility which will be further developed during the remainder of their high school days. All have shared their pleasures and troubles with their home room teachers who are Mrs. Graham, Mr. Cure, Mr. Largent and Mr. Jenkins. The Sophomores are looking forward to their junior year because they slowly are reaching their goal — graduation.

They ■ experienced some trials and tribulations at the beginning of the year, but it didn ' t take them long to settle down to some serious study. Back in the grades last year, they had their reading, writing, and arithmetic. Now with some minor adjustments they are carrying on with some more of the same, though the work is more advanced. There is also fun to be had along with all the work, for these people have enjoyed their class meetings and various extra-curricular activities. We know that our Freshmen have much in store for them during the next three years and we urge them to take advantage of every opportunity. The Freshmen have had able leaders in the following home room teachers: Mrs. Bessie Totten, Miss Laura Dalton, Miss Edna Spradlin, Miss Elizabeth Painter, Miss Nettie Bowers, and Mrs. Clarence Chaplin. This has been a profitable year for you, the Freshman class. May you have an abun- dance of knowledge, a wealth of enjoyment, and many happy experiences in the coming three years of study.

This year, the sixth graders as well as the seventh graders, have been active in doing some valuable work through their S. C. A., whose officers and representatives have led in numerous worthwhile activities through their various committees. They have shown much interest in assisting in the magazine campaign, the Junior Red Cross Drive, the Infantile Paralysis Fund, the purchase of War Stamps and Bonds and other phases of the school program. These boys and girls are guided by Miss Anne Rider, Miss Oneta Osborne, and Miss Ruby Graham.

' ' nTARTING out as usual with an explosion of enthusiasm, the Student Council opened the new school year with its annual second-hand book exchange. Highly successful in its purpose of serving the school, the book exchange provided over five hundred students with second-hand books. Their Farmer ' s Ball will long be remembered as the peak of entertainment, for the whole student body participated in its success. With its president, chosen by the student body, and its other officers elected by the Council, the Student Council went on a non-stop program of school betterment. Bill Richard- son balanced the accounts, Ruth Cummings kept the minutes, Alex Haller brandished the gavel, and Selena Evens was their industrious vice-president. Composed of representatives from every home room and the presidents of all clubs, the group well-filled the shoes of a student body spokesman. It was its duty to discuss problems of school life and to recommend improvements in the school program. In this capacity its actions speak louder than words. The outstanding efficiency of its officers, the untiring cooperation of its different repre- sentatives, and the generous and capable guidance of its sponsor, Miss Clara Mae Bolt, have made possible the enormous success of this year ' s Student Council.

It consists of a group of students who maintain high standards of achievement in both studies and school activities throughout the year. Requirements for membership are that a student be a High Junior or Senior, that he have an average of B on all credit subjects, and that he have a minimum number of activity points. The Honor Society strives for enthusiasm in scholarship, worthy leadership, development of character and service for others. The Torch of Knowledge is the symbol of the Society and can be found on the attractive club pins. June Thompson was chosen to lead the group as President, and with the help of Lois Kegley as Vice-President; Mercedes Davidson as Secretary, and Ellen Eskridge as Treasurer; the club made its first year a successful one. Miss Dobyns was chosen their capable sponsor. PAGE THIRTY-NINE First row: Second row: Third row: Fourth row: Miss Bowers, Don Duncan, Ruth Cummings, Mr. Aust.

A FTER hard work and several trips to Roanoke to confer with the printer and engraver, the Oriole Staff is presenting this annual to you as a lasting memory of your glorious days at P.H.S. Under the capable leadership of our Editor-in-Chief, Ruth Cummings, and Busi- ness Manager, Don Duncan, as well as Miss Nettie Bowers and Mr. Foy Aust, sponsors, this annual was made possible. Our Editor-in-Chief was elected by the Senior Class as was our Business Mana- ger. The other staff members were appointed by the Editor-in-Chief. Their duties included typing, mounting, making write-ups for clubs, counting votes for the Hall of Fame, taking snapshots, judging snapshot contest, and many other various jobs that come with editing an annual. We are proud of our work and hope that it meets with the approval of every Pulaski High School student as well as those who helped to make this 1944 Oriole possible.

The purpose of the club is to promote scholarship, leadership, citizenship, and character throughout the school and in the individual as well. Its motto is Let us lead by serving others. We were honored by having one of our outstanding members, Alex Haller, chosen as Beta Club State Secretary. A Thanksgiving basket containing enough food for a bountiful dinner was given to a needy family in November. Throughout the year the club sponsored several assembly programs, a very entertaining stunt program in which the four classes of the high school participated. A Kiddie Dance held in the gymnasium February 26, furnished a great deal of fun for both old and young. Prizes were awarded. PAGE FORTY-FOUR U l .

This is the Chorus Class. With a membership of 33, under the direction of Mrs. Luther Farris, this club has accomplished great things. The Dress Rehearsal, an operetta of wit and beauty, given on December 3, was a great success. For the Christmas program the club presented the Christmas Story with a soft spotlight making a beautiful effect. At the Spring Carnival, the club sponsored a minstrel show which happened to be the main attraction. The Recital was an attractive affair with beautiful numbers well sung. The club also participated in the commencement activities. Officers are: President, Freida Webb; Vice-President, Dorothy Stoots; Secretary, Annie Lee Hall; Treasurer, Colleen Williams; Reporter, Doris Scott; Librarian, Betty Lee Kinzer; Hilda Meredith, an able accompanist. For the first time this group has robes, which they bought by sponsoring various enter- tainments, such as a dance in November, and a Progressive Game Party on February 22, and a pantomime, And the Lamp Went Out, in February. These girls do not sing only — they learn to sight read, recognize composers, try original compositions, learn scales, fundamentals and tone quality. More and better progress has been made this year than in any previous year. PAGE FORTY-FIVE • • • First row: Mary Louise James, Barbara Coordes, Virginia Scott, Peggy Wirt, Betty Jane Kegley.

T HE Sub-Deb Club was organized January 27, 1944 under the supervision of Mrs. Lewis Graham, by a group of Sophomore girls who felt a need for an etiquette club. Their purpose is to improve themselves socially in order to have a well-rounded personality. The membership of the club is limited to Sophomores with one Freshman as mascot. The members feel that in selecting new members they want girls who not only need the club but also those who might contribute to the club.

The following were formally initiated and treated to an over- night party at the Home Economics Cottage: Martha Ann Board, Jean Clark, Elizabeth Crockett, Stella Dalton, Laura Elkins, Mildred Elkins, Helen Landis, Ruth Lyons, Helen Rorrer, Alice Schrader, Sarah Virginia Tice, Freida Webb, and Julia Mae Webb. Those members remaining from last year were June Thompson, President; Lois Kegley, Vice- President; Mercedes Davidson, Secretary; Margaret Watts, Treasurer; Fannie Sue Andrews, Helen Black, Sue Carper, Ellen Eskridge, Mary Lou Hutchens, Joyce Hill, Elizabeth Howard, and Helen Hinton. The girls sponsored the first formal dance of the school year, on December 10. Harry Davis and his orchestra furnished delightful music for the dancers and helped make this dance one that will be long remembered. The Spring Carnival this year was reminiscent of the Old South. The King and Queen, chosen by student vote, reigned from their thrones in a lovely Southern Garden, amid trees and blossoming flowers. The entertainment was in keeping with the theme, with a group of girls singing songs in black- face, Virginia Reel, Laurel Chain, and a lovely waltz presented by the Court. The girls were fortunate to ha ve such capable and helpful sponsors as Miss Alexander and Miss Barnhart.

O N September 26, 1943, the students of P.H.S. assembled in the gym to elect its 1943-44 cheerleaders. After considerable time and much thinking they selected six of our most capable and spirited girls. From our senior students: Joyce Hill, Elizabeth Howard, and Lois Kegley; Juniors: Mildred Elkins; Sophomores: Betty Ann Hall; Freshmen: Patsy Smith. Hill. The Monogram Club elected from these six, to act as head cheerleader, Joyce She proved to be a very efficient and persistent leader. During the year these girls were on hand at all our games, rain or shine, to cheer our team on to victory. We are proud of our cheerleaders and hope future years will find students as capable and ready as these girls to lead our students in their yells. PAGE FIFTY (P ey C- In l . . .

T HIS group of girls is aptly named, for their energetic and zealous efforts in the school activities were marveled at by all. Their boundless energy in preparation for the football games was something to make Hercules green with envy. They were the unsung heroes of the soda-pop booth, counting change, decorat- ing the ball park with the royal orange and black in zero weather, and many other chores that helped to make our games a success. The club was organized and spon- sored by the Girls ' Monogram Club and the officers were identical. The sponsors were Misses Elna Spradlin and Luciel Coggiano.

I HE members of this club are composed of the more athletically inclined of the fairer sex in • our High School. They proudly wear their ' ' P ' s ' not only because they denote distinction as athletes, but also because they represent the fact that they have come through the battle good losers as well as winners and love the game — not the glory; realizing full well the true meaning of good sportsmanship. The good condition of the financial status was accomplished by hard work and zealous effort. There was not a football game at which one could fail to spot a member, laden with numerous and various sorts of goodies, shouting her wares for a very worthy cause. These ambitious lassies also sponsored several of the dances given during the year. The group was led by Ellen Eskridge as president, ably assisted by Elizabeth Howard, vice-president. Catchy Hinton was an efficient secretary and Sara Virginia Tice was the quite capable treasurer. The Club was well guided by the sponsors, Misses Elna Spradlin and Luciel Coggiano.

E VERY club has to have some purpose to merit its being; and to forward athletics and sportsman- ship in Pulaski High School is the outstanding purpose of the Boys ' Monogram Club. The organization includes all Pulaski High boys who have been awarded letters for outstanding athletic achievements, representing the three major sports: football, basketball, and baseball. The Boys ' Monogram Club began the year with only two old members, Bates Pauley and Wesley Vaughan, and with the loss of the former sponsor. Surmounting all these difficulties the club was reorganized soon after football season, these boys who had earned the letter P on last year’s basketball and baseball teams and those who had received them for service on this year ' s football team were invited into the organization. Fifteen new members were taken in after the usual initiation. The club was under the new and able sponsorship of Mr. Raymond Cure and the officers are: Wesley Vaughan, President; Bill Baker, Vice-President; Dow Owens, Secretary; Bates Pauley, Treasurer.

X HILE the 1943-44 football team had only a fair record, winning 2, losing 4, and tying I, the ” ’ boys, however, are to be commended for their constant display of good sportsmanship. The boys began practice as usual the first of September. With only four lettermen back, the boys ' future looked dark. Then Coach Raymond Cure loomed over the horizon and with his patience and expert coaching, and determination on the part of the boys, a very formidable team was organized. The boys were hit hard during the season when Uncle Sam needed Co-Captains Bill Miller and Jake Matheney for his teams. Much excitement and rivalry was renewed with our games with Wytheville. This year two games were played and the scores were totaled determining the victor and winner of the victory cup. Pulaski beat Wytheville by a close 7-6 the first game and when we journeyed to Wytheville, the game ended in a 7-7 tie, thus giving the victory cup to Pulaski. If the boys in the future have the determination, courage and good sportsmanship of the boys of this year ' s team, our future teams will have the makings of a successful team. Oct. 1 Pulaski . .

HERE was much enthusiasm from a large number of boys over Junior Varsity Basketball this year. Despite transportation shortages, the team was able to play several games, which gave them much needed experience and showed that they had the spirit and ability, characteristic of Pulaski High School players. Although their victories were few, the boys played with excellent sportsmanship throughout the season. We feel sure that this experience and training will be invaluable to them as they take their places on the Varsity Squad next year.

Coach Raymond Cure rapidly shaped his charges into a smooth working combination. Captained by Alex Haller, only returning letterman, the Orioles played their first game January 7, against an independent fast alumni five. Handicapped by lack of experience, the Orioles nevertheless showed an aggressive spirit and the best of good sportsmanship which soon led to their entrance into the win column. Coach Cure had many excellent reserves besides his starting line-up and frequently sub- stituted them into the games. Finally getting the winning spark, the Orioles won their last seven games ending the com petitive season with ten wins and four losses. On the basis of this outstanding record the Orioles received an invitation to the Class B Tournament in Radford the 3rd and 4th of March. Again this year we are proud of our Basketball Team and of the clean, sporting way in which they played. May they always represent our school so well!

Miss Luciel Coggiano and Miss Elna Spradlin, ' coaches, had a large group of girls from which to choose the varsity team. At the beginning of the season, approximately seventy-five girls tried out for the team with such enthusiasm that after the varsity team was selected the remaining girls were divided into intra- mural teams. Each intramural team was managed by two varsity girls. This system proved very successful and added much to the sport schedule. Although victories for the varsity team, captained by Joyce Hill and Ellen Eskridge, were few, the girls played with much enthusiasm and high spirits, and displayed excellent sportsmanship through- out the season. We are confident that the excellent sportsmanship, sense of fair play, and cooperation developed by these girls in their playing will be of value to them throughout their lives.
