Farawa , North Dakota. De. r P.atsy, Can you imagine it? flere 1 sit in Room 10 for the last time. 1 just ran up this morning to collect my plunder, ” which was scattered from the Power Room to the gym. •Ml week I have been so excited I simply couldn ' t collect my wits — much less mv other belongings. Oh! it will be such a thrill to get that longed-for sheep-skin. 1 really am afraid Mr. Barnett will snatch it back at the last minute — but if 1 manage to get my hands on it, he won ' t have a chance. But, I must do as you asked — start at the beginning and tell vou everything. It seems ages since you left iti 1927, just when we were ready to enter Radford Hi. And oh, so iTiany things have happened. If you don ' t believe it, take a look at these snapshots I ' m enclosing. In order that you may be able to see the progress we have made I ' ve num- bered them in order of their appearance. Dn ' t number one a scream? To see us tiow you would never believe that we were once these timid, scampering rats. Probably you recognize the building in the background as Central CHammer School, where we were compelled to begin our High School career, because of crowded conditions in the old High School. Really tho, ' we didn ' t mind in the least. In fact, we felt very keenly our superiority — for were we not the only High School “students in the building! Number two, of course, is a picture of our illustrious first-year faculty. Doesn ' t Miss Engart look dignified in her horn-rimmed specs? (She now has some adorable new ones with gold frames.) But Miss Caldwell hasn ' t changed a bit. She still believes that dieting is detrimetital to the health ! Phis next snap gives you an idea of what we looked like en masse. Eightv-seven ! with Evelyn ' i!son, our newly-elected president, standing in the center. But look at picture number four. Quite a change, isn ' t there, especially in number? For one reason or another about twenty have dropped Iw the ivayside. Some moved away, others grew weary, and a few even decided to enter the ho ' v bonds of matrimony. And notice the different background. At last we are in a real High School — the old one in East Radford. Do you recognize the smiling face in the center? Ruby Holland Dobvns, of course, our beloved class advisor, with Bryan, Sophomore president, at her elbow, ready to assist in time of need. Fake particular notice of number five, for it deserves your undivided attention. No one but “Pop — our Eagle -eyed Principal! And that imrressive-looking instrument in his hands, my dear, is his faithful bugle, which has called us to our duties for lo, these three years. If you want an idea of the effect of this “call to duty glance at number six and see the “chain-gang, wearily waiting for that final note which means forward march — into the thick prison walls. Naturally, dear Patsy, when you asked me to tell you something of our fligh School careers, you simply expected an unprejudiced statement of facts, hut nevertheless I must wax eloiiuent, and show my partiality when 1 send you this silhouette of our new High School building. It is gorgeous! We were overwhelmed with joy when February, 1929, came, and we moved in. Think of it, we were to enter a building etiuipped with com- fortable new desks, convenient lockers, laboratories for science, a huge gymnasium, one of the most beautiful auditoriums in the state, a library, and wonder of wonders, a cafeteria! This group, which I cut from my 1929 year-book, reminds me that as Sophs we wit- nessed the organization of our present very-effective Student Council. 31 is represented by Bryan and V ' iolet. Well, well! ' e have been moving at a rapid pace. Here we are at number nine, and we are Jolly Juniors. Not a bad-iooking class, eh? Shrinking in (|uantity, but not in (|uality. Just forty-five — but what a record-breaking bunch. Fhere is Doro ' hy, lookin.g a bit worried because she realizes what it means to be the president of this rollicking Twenty crowd. Kut she should worry, for there just behind her stand the other oHicers, Martha, Mary and Carl — all ready and willing to help. And bless my soul, there right in the midst, with his perpetual smile stands Arthur Rossa tiiesen — our faithful faculty advisor. I ' hat brings us to number ten. No, this isn ' t a photograph of the Mardi Ciras — it ' s our Hallowe ' en Party! Really it was worth all the struggle of three years just to attend this spectacular event. W’endt- came, but instead of Peter Pan, she had a gallant Spanish Cavalier for an escort. ( 1 knew, before we removed our masks, that it was Pink and Ott. ) 1 managed to get a few reminders of that all-important Event, the Junior-Senior Banquet. Number eleven shows judson doing his stuff as toastmaster — and how he did put across those well-timed jokes. 1 nearl)’ broke m)- neck climbing onto the mantel of the Legion Hall to get the birds-eye view in number twelve. But it ' s a good one. Isn ' t that rectangular arrangetnent of the tables clever? And the decorations I We never could have worked them out so effectively if we hadn ' t used Pop ' s geometry period I Of course we were reminded very forcibly of our negligence the next day, but as everything was ‘ ' symmetrical at the bainiuet we managed to get by without badly “diminished grades I Pm afraid vou will get the idea that we were a rather irrespondble bunch of Juniors. But really the class of ' 31 participated wholeheartedly in every school activity. In Student Council, Hi- ' , Cjlee Clubs, Literary Clubs and .Athletics, Juniors were shining examples. Phere I go again, shooting off my head, instead of explaining these “silhouettes. Please excuse me. I shall try to be careful hereafter. Number thirteen is ciuite impor- tant for it shows whom we selected as Senior Class ofhcers. See if you can find them — Judson, Margaret, Violet and Harry. That certainly is a go-getter bunch, isn ' t it? Under their leadership ' 31 has become the best class that ever graduated from Radford H When September, 1930, came we decided that the very first thing we should do was to decide which member of the faculty we should honor with the privilege (or burden with the task) of sharing our joys and woes. Miss Jones was the luckv one (or unlucky, as you choose to look at it) ! Our next class meeting was for the purpose of choosing the Oak Leaf staff. At the close of the election there was so much excitement that 1 couldn ' t catch all the successful candidates together, but Mr. Darnell managed to do it later, so look on page eight of the Silhouette Edition of the Oak Leaf, 1 am sending, and you ' ll see a dandv good picture. 1 simply can ' t resist sending you these two glimpses of our noble attempt at a Shakes- pearean production. Phe wild and ghostly midnight hags are Eloise, Margaret and Cirace as the witches. Phe desperate-looking pair with bloody hands are none others than James and Virginia as Macbeth and his better half. We surprised even ourselves with our amazing histrionic ability. Isn ' t it queer to see a classroom without a teacher? Another result, my friend, of the far-reaching efforts of this ambitious class. M ' e have a senior privilege! We are allowed to study in an unsupervised hall. What do you think of the picture? We had to be reminded not more than a dozen times that it wasn ' t a social hour! Here is our gymnasium in holiday dress, just as the Juniors prepared it for the deli- cious bamiuet they served in our honor. Words cannot do justice to the food and the good time they gave us, but comparatively speaking, they were both just as beautiful as this picture of the gym. Phe Senior Play! Pm sending a group of pictures to show you how varied and attractive the characters were, flonor Bright! It certainly was a success. What I mean is, Honor Bright was the name of our Senior Play. Radford audiences evidently like a fast-moving, sparkling comedy, and Broadway is sure to win at least one or two stars from such a cast. But goodness! Here I ' ve been sitting for three hours, and the building is almost empty. Wouldn ' t it be silly to struggle for four years to get away from school, and then calmly allow myself to be locked in? Pm not so sure I would hate it, because after all I ' ve been extremely happy. And now my high school days will soon be over. My! My! 1 must not allow myself to think such thoughts, for 1 shall start weeping copious tears, which would blot the words of this lengthy epistle and make the shapshots stick together. But there’s only one way to prevent it — that is, say good-bye. Lovingly and pictorially yours, •M.vrth. , ( ' lass Historian.

Each member of the Hi-V Club has felt the past year, more than ever before, the responsibility in undertaking such a project. In realizing this respansibility they, as a club, have cccomplished more than ever before. The Clubs have heartily co-operated with all student activities and the students’ ca-operation in the Hi-Y Minstrels was appreciated by every member of the Clubs. The Boy ' s Conference was a tremendous success due to the willingness and interest taken by those in charge. Many interesting and instructive discussion, have been held this year and both clubs have been fortunate in hearing several outstanding speakers. As a last project the Clubs spon.

Student Council President Tice-President Secretary Treasurer Faculty Advisor Bryan Eller Jessie Lee Swisher Clifton Karnes Margaret ’eddle M iss Ruby Dobyns The Student Council since its initial organization in fall of ' 27, has increased in importance until it has become the center of extra curricular activities. At present it is composed of twenty mem- bers of which four are the officers, the other sixteen are the presidents of home rooms, presidents of clubs, managers of the athletic teams, and editor of the school paper. The sponsor must be a mem- ber of the faculty. In 1930 the Council affiliated with the Junior League of the Educational Association of Yirginia. It entered a musical contest with the organizations in the League and won second place. It has successfully operated the lost and found department; instituted the banking system and sponsored a program to raise money for the school. Much of its success is due to the co-operation of the faculty and the student body. T hirty-seven T hirty-eighi THE OAK LEAF FOOTBALL September 26 First CJame of Season ChristiansbiiiK Score: R. 11.

Forty- one � THE OAK LEAF The other day Mr. Barnett and Dotiald Barton were walking down the street. Said Mr. Eagle, How fast time Hies. M ' oiild that 1 could capture it iti its Hight — prolong a golden hour — .” And Donald answered, Well, the other day 1 went down to the golf course and stopped a few minutes. Now if we had possessed Donald’s technltiue for stopping a few minutes, on the memorahle night of the Junior-Senior Ban iuet we wotild — well — there ' s no tell ng what might have happened. — But although we didn ' t stop time — in fact, it seemed to literally Hy hy — enough happened to fi 1 a hook. Now don’t get excited for I ' m not going to write a book, just a few words to express our appreciation to the class of ' 32. Dear reader, no one hut a Senior can fully appreciate the agony which we passed through on the week preceding the bantiuet. You see — we were afraid that we weren ' t going to he invited, and not until the invitation had safely arrived did we feel relieved. After that, girls could be seen huddled up in little groups, in the halls. If anyone had been curious enough to listen to their conversation he would have heard something in this order — What are you going to wear? I ' m wearing green — it’s real, real long with ruffles — just lots of them — but I don ' t know what kind of shoes to wear — I believe black would look best, and “Are you going to get a finger-wave? 1 believe I ' ll get Agnes or Doris to give me one. (To tell the truth, most everyone did get waves, and Miss Morrison got seasick, on the day of the ban |uet, but she didn ' t feel any the worse for it that night, when she reminded me of a nodding jon iuil.) Let ' s skip the preliminaries and proceed to the Banquet Hall. On the evening of .April 17, the gym with its festive dress of blue and gold, lorked as if it would high-hat such common things as basket- balls and basket-ball players. The flickering candlelight added a touch of mystery to the atmosphere. Everyone present looked his best, the food couldn ' t have been better, and Herndon Slicer never “car- ried on with more vitality. In a coupla’ nut shells, as “Pop would say, everything was perfect. Our toastmaster, Brother Bowers, carried out his part of the program, very successfully, even securing a safetv pin for Miss Caldwell, when she let him know that she needed one. I ' he speeches were good — and 1 really mean it — although I ' ll admit that it is unusual. But the welcome address given b, Nell Carden, and Judson ' s response, were so sincere, and Miss Jones ' and Mr. Cjiesen ' s speeches so interesting that we were sorry when they “signed off. There are a few things that happened — besides the safety pin incident — that were most amus- ing — too amusing to share alone. So if you ' ll promise to keep what I say, a dark, dark secret, I ' ll tell you about them. Now of course you can ' t blame “Cjossie” Wilson for eating his butter all ot once, any more than you can blame Bob” Ingles for mistaking it for golf balls. To tell the truth. Bob was just about to hire Tyler .McConnell to caddy for him when someone discovered that the little round balls, served on cool beds of lettuce, were butter. (Willie Turner thought they were moth balls and refused to eat his.) We kept our cute little Freshman waitre.sses busy, and 1 know that they were glad that the following dav was Saturday, for what they wanted after the bamiuet was rest, and lots of it. Oh, 1 mustn ' t forget to tell you of the innocent little olive which I saw bouncing down the table, followed bv Leslie Brooks, who wasn ' t (piite so innocent looking. Leslie has never figured out how that olive escaped, hut since it did escape he considered it his duty to rescue it. There are two things that have worried me latel ' . The first is, why didn ' t Jack Roberts take his shower before he left home, instead of waiting until everything had started? Oh, well, anything for publicity, 1 suppose. The last is, wh did they sing (lood Night, Ladies, so soon? — .A Sekior. Forly-t‘ii ' 0 THE OAK LEAF Honor Bright ' iro ' inia ' I ' urpin as Honor Bright, was charming in the title role of the Senior play presented by the class of ’31 in the high school anditoriuin. May 8th. Hoaior Bright, who was starting upon her career as a book-agent, was persuaded to take the place of the chorus girl who failed to arrive at the appointed time. Tot Marvel. the chorus-girl, played by Ardis Shanklin. was engaged to Richard Barrington. better known as James Lucas. She had been invited to vis.t the familv at their home in Rockmere, Beach Haven, Mass. Richard thought he was in love with the chorus-girl until he met Honor. Things were progressing nicely when Tot arrived on the scene. Carl Hendrix as Bill Drum arrived in time to save the situation by taking Tot” hack to Xew ' S ' ork with him. By the invitation of both Richard and his Mother, Honor was then persuaded to stay as her own dear .self. Mary McDonald, looking very lovely, jjlayed the sweet Mother-part of “Mrs. Barrington.” Bryan Eller as Bishop Carton, her brother, became quite infatuated with Honor. much to his wife ' s disgust. Evelyn ilson, his wife, played, convincingly, the part of a dignified, aristocratic, middle-aged lady. Charles Caldwell in his role as butler not only amused the aud ' .ence, hut aroused their adnriration by his consistency. ( )ther characters were; Michael, the chauffeur, Jakie Lepchitz ; Eoster, the gardener, Stanley Porter; Rev. James Schooley, ’ivian Early; Annie, the maid, Selma Godbey ; Maggie, the cook, Etta Lawson: Simpson, deputy sheriff. High-voiced Reuben Dehart: Jones, deputy sheriff. Stuttering I.eslie Brooks. Music was furnished by the high .school orchestra, under the direction of Airs, h ' rank Fu((ua, with Mrs. Ira Snhlett as guest soloist. Committees, which did much toward the success of the play, consisted of [Margaret Weddle, Raljih Early, Ardath Smith, Ruby Mantz, Elizabeth Mottesheard, irginia .Vilen, Anna Williamson, Florence Wehh, and Vlartha Tomlinson. The audience, which witnessed the play, was delighted with the way in which each character carried out his jiart. In other words, it was a huge success.

That is pre- cisely what the Silhouette Edition of the Oak Leaf has attempted to do, hut since the extra- curricular activities of a school can be justified only when they are used legitimately to increase interest in and t o improve the curricular offerings, it is appropriate for this edition to give an outline of the courses of study. Radford High School offers its pupils three major courses; namely. College Preparatory, Com- mercial, and C eneral. COLLECjE PREPAR a rOR V. Phis cour e has for its purpose the preparation of the pupil for admission to any standard class A college in the United States. A pupil choosing this course i re(iuired to complete four units in English, four units in languages — preferably Latin, however two units of F ' rench may be elected. No credit is allowed in a language unless two units are satisfac- torily completed. One unit each in American History and Civics and Problems of American Democ- racy are required. Early FAiropean History is strongly advised. In mathematics, two units in Algebra, one in Plane Cfeometry, one-half in Solid Cjeometry, and one-half in Arithmetic are required. If as many as ten pupils desire, a ciass in Plane Prigonometry may be organized. CJeneral Science, B.ology, Chemistry, and Physics are offered to pupils planning to enroll in technical schools. One unit in science is re |uired of all pupils and three units is strong. y recommended. CLrls may elect Home Economics in the third and fourth years to meet their science requirements. If it is possible, pupils electing a college preparatory course, should take Shorthand and Type- writing to aid them in their co.lege work. Besides, a pupil mav tjiake use of Stenographv in college to assist in financing himself. C ' 0. L IER( ' L- L.

V ' OCA ' ITON.AL OUID.ANCE. Classes in vocations are conducted once a week to accptaint pupils with various occupations and help them chcose their life ' s work more wisely and ititellig ntly. HEAL ' PH STUDIES AND ACITXTPIES. .All pupils are required to take two h urs of physical exercise in the gymtiasium weekly unless impaired health prevents it. Phese classes feature organ- ized games and play with emphasis on correct health habits. Much favorable comment on our physi- cal education program has been made by the State Director of Physical Education within the last year. I.IBR.ARA ' . Twelve hundred volumes of fiction, biography, encyclopedias, etc., furnish abundant material to supplement the regular class work.
