They trust that their ex- ample in this school has been such that the classes in the new school will desire to carry on the tradition. They have shown an en- thusiastic school spirit and the class is ever loyal and true. It has not been a brilliant meteor which flares up suddenly and then is gone, but has been rather a steady light that shines con- stantly. Yet the Class of ’28 is by no means lacking in capability and brilliancy. It in- cludes eleven students who have made the en- viable record of 90 or over as an average for the four years of High School. For the last two years the Rotary Club has offered an undergraduate metal, and each time a student of the Class of ’28 has had the honor of winning it. The class may boast of eight students who have successfully carried four years of Latin. In this day and time when tougher subjects of the curriculum are being eliminated and everyone is hunting a “snap course,” we feel this is an achievement of which they can be justly proud. This year partial student government was organized in the school, and the leading of- ficers were furnished by the Senior Class. It was largely due to their faithful and sensi- ble efforts that the organization has been a success. The school feels that it is losing some of its dependable members. Probably the extent of this loss will not be fully realized until next September, when we try to get along without them. ELEVEN SENIORS HAVE HIGH STANDING This year’s Senior Class of Radford High School feels that it may justly be proud of itself since more than 25 per cent of the members of the class have averaged above 90. This large per cent has made it possible for the first time to award the dif- ferent numbers on Class Night program as honors for scholastic standing, and only those who have won the right will appear on the program. However, among the four highest honor students there is only a fractional dif- ference in the averages and this fact has given rise to a peculiar situation. These averages represent the first three years of High School work and the seven months which have passed, but there are two months’ grades yet to be added and it is quite possible that the grades of these next two months will change the or- der precedence of these four students. So it cannot be definitely stated as to who will re- ceive highest honors at this time, but at this time the order is as follows: Rita Munsev, Irene Allen, Marjorie Einstein, Winnie Hens- ley, Myra Greiner, Noblin Huddle, Kathleen Wilson, Nellie Bond, Randolph Elder, Ruby Hylton and Lois Banks. o DR. JOHN W. WAYLAND COMMENCEMENT SPEAKER Radford High School feels peculiarly hon- ored to have Dr. John W. Wayland of the Harrisonburg State Teachers’ College to de- liver the literary address at the graduation exercises. Dr. Wayland has been recognized for a number of years as one of the leading his- torians of the state. Many of us recall with pleasure our study of his “History of Vir- ginia,” or having become more intimately acquainted with the historic valley of Vir- ginia through his “Portfolio of the Shenan- doah Valley.” Dr. Wayland has occupied a chair of His- tory in the Harrisonburg State Teachers’ Col- lege since its founding. At Radford High we know him best as the author of “Old Virginia,” which we all love to sing more than any other song. PAGE S
