The days of the one-room schoolhouse have disappeared as our world has become one of urbanization and consolidation. Although this early American tradition has fallen to the wayside, it has contributed many enterprising, men to our society. At this time the Oriole Staff wishes to pay tribute to one such man who has unlocked the doors of knowledge to many young people. After attending Hampden-Sydney College and graduating from the University of Virginia, he began his forty-year career in the field of education. Before coming to Pulaski, he served in other localities through- out Virginia as both teacher and principal. For the past twenty-five years he has served Pulaski as a top administrator of education. His contri- butions did not stop here, for he has also served as a past president of the Virginia Association of School Administrators. For his many contributions to the field of education, we the Oriole Staff wish to recognize — MR. FRANK J. CRITZER 10

JKem oriam MR. HERMAN L. RATCLIFFE THE GATE AT THE END OF THINGS Some people say the world’s all a stage Where each plays a part in life; While others proclaim that life is quite real, Its joys, its battles, its strife. Some say it’s a joke, we should laugh it along, Should smile at the knocks and stings; Whatever is true just take this from me, There’s a gate at the. end of things. Don’t try to kid yourself with the thought, You can do as you please all the while; Don’t think you can kick the poor fellow who’s down, While you climb to the top of the pile. Don’t go back on your pal, just because he won’t know, Oh, in his eyes you may be a king; Some day he will see you just as you are, At the gate at the end of things. Don’t think you can fool all the folks all the while, You may do it sometimes, that is true; They will find you out in the end every time, The only one you fool is you. If you see a man down, why, give him a hand, And find how much pleasure it brings, To know you are ready to meet all mankind, At the gate at the end of things. Live like a man, it don’t cost any more, To act on the square and be right. It’s reward enough to know you’re a man, To hear people say, “He’s right.” You can look everyone straight in the eye, And your voice has sincerity’s ring; Then you’re ready to go and pass through with the bunch, At the gate at the end of things. — Unknown
