H. S. do hereby make our last will and testament. First, we direct that all our just debts and good-time expenses be fully paid and satisfied, as soon as conveniently maybe after our departure. We, the Senior Class of “’32” do hereby bequeath our numerous possessions thusly: To the Faculty, as a whole, we have nothing to bequeath except the privilege of holding our memory dear, long after we have gone out from these walls. To the Junior Class, the dignity of the Senior Class. To the Sophomore Class, the insignificant place of the Juniors. To the Freshman Class, our desire that they may continue to care for the building as we have thus endeavored. May they graduate with the assurance that they have both benefited by and contributed to their Alma Mater. To Elizabeth Jordon and Jack Winston, Constance Einstein and James Lucas leave their conceit. To Giles Goodykoontz, Warren Bowers leaves his popularity. To Nancy Lee Pamplin, Anna Flurst leaves her position as Captain of the basket ball team.

To William Cooper Gilbert, Billy Turner leaves his talent for debating. To Agnes Spangler, Doris Rhodes and Emma Lorton leave their act of hair dressing. To Paul Byrd, Price Hines leaves his seven years at R. H. S. and his A geometry papers.

To Margaret Towe and Tom Roberts, Sue Knowles and Brown Lucas leave their curly hair. To Henry Hubble, Billy Bullard leaves his quiet and meek voice.

Jessie Lee Swisher leaves her bright and happy smile to any one who can use it as effectively as she has. To the Student Council, Geneva Pritchett leaves her loyalty and leadership. To Jiggs Wright, Barnie Quesenberry leaves his batting average. To Emma King. Ruth Sutphin leaves her quiet dignity as a Senior. To James Heinline, Alpheus McCaskey leaves his eager response in class. To Sarah Hutton and Sybil Kirkwood, Julia Vaughan and Elizabeth Wilson leave their reputations for being the cutest in the Senior Class. To Barabra Rankin, Mary Belle Richards leaves her neatness. Tyler McConnell leaves his virgil book and all rates so that the Seniors next year won’t have to work so hard. Nina Underwood leaves her immense height to some tall person, perhaps Dot Winston. Ballard Wright leaves with every one a hope that some day he will grow. Ann Merriman and Garland Wilson leave their wit to their Junior successors. Weta Sledd leaves her long curls to any nice young lady who can use them. It’s a load off her mind. Sarah and Beulah Marshall leave some of the hair to any young lady who wishes to let hers grow. It may help her over the rough spots. We hereby constitute Mr. Clifton Karnes executor of our Last Will and Testament. In witness whereof, we have hereunto set our hand, this thirtieth day of May, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and thirty-two.

The grand march had started! It was seven-thirty Eastern Standard Time (supposedly). The Seniors and Juniors marched in grand array, midst orchestrations and beneath a halo of red and white. The banquet was held in our gym; but who could have ever guessed it? Red and white crepe paper had transformed it into a veritable banquet hall. Guests had not seated themselves when toastmaster, Jack Winston, tapped the bell for order. The invocation was pronounced by our Superintendent, W. K. Barnett. The first course was grapefruit cocktail. The welcome was extended to the Senior Class by the Junior President, Evangeline Rotenberry. The response was given by the Senior President, Minter Jackson. The orchestra boomed forth another melody. The waitresses were freshmen camouflaged in the Senior colors of red and white. In they came with the second course. Our toastmaster was telling a few remarkable stories about our companions at the banquet, but we were ready for the ham, rolls, coffee, etc., and we “fell in” and demonstrated our powers to consume food. A little harmony from a trio composed of Bill Einstein, Walter Goodykoontz and Bill Vaughn made the food more enjoyable. The third and fourth courses followed, tomato salad, cream and cake respectively. We cannot forget the talks given by the class sponsors, Miss Engart and Mr. Geisen. The tap dancing of Miss Irene Brown brightened the enjoyment of the occasion. The stunts gave everyone a laugh except some of the victims. The only occasion for worry was when Chief Howell found bottles in the coats belonging to Harrison Hall and Giles Goodykoontz. The bottles were found to contain only water, however. It seemed that I had been in a trance but I came to with a jar as we sang, “Good Night Ladies” and I realized another happy occasion had become history. “SUNSHINE” (The Senior Play) Mary “Sunshine” (Ethel Ilall), the head nurse and general favorite, was the only girl that Buddy Brady (James Lucas) could talk to without blushing. He immediately falls in love with her. Buddy is brought to the Sunshine Sanitarium for treatment by his wealthy chum, Jim Anthony (Billy Bullard). Jim is engaged to Sylvia Deane (Constance Einstein), a charming convalescent. Major Kellicott (Tyler McConnell), the despicable stepfather of Mary, tries to entrap Jim Anthony in a sham business deal, he recognizes Mary who had happily escaped from him several years ago. Miss Tessie Mitford (Mary Lewis Ingles), the mental case, was always looking for a clue. Mr. Juba K. Butternip (Charles Caldwell) liked his 59% (!) tonic, and while his nurse, Miss Gregory (Jessie Lee Swisher), was looking for Maudelia McCann (Elizabeth Wilson), he drank too much tonic, and as a result he saw pink elephants fighting sky blue tigers against a star spangled background. Mrs. Bunch McCann (Geneva Pritchett), the mother of Maudelia, liked to tell about her nine operations. Mrs. Sol Whipple (Beula Marshall) had a terrible case of nerves. The characters all gave a good account of themselves, the stage was attractive and the play well received. 26 1932 Ot)e Oak Ceaf 1932 Reminiscence ! 4 21 1932 1932 Ot)£ Oak Ceaf — -f Scandal Skeet Woe unto the Senior Class! For we have killed the proverbial Prophet and replaced him ‘with the more modern Scandal Reporter, whose report we hereby present with all due apologies to the owners of the names taken in vain — Someone suggested that the Sheet should be called “Relieve It or Not,” but surely one realizes that scandal is always true — especially of the Seniors — f Both the Scandal Reporter and Senior Detective have been snooping and now we shall have their report: REPORT Should one wonder at seeing Jeanne Comstock playing hooky? — well she did. “Don” Barton was seen, by Senior Detective, entering the Martinigue Apartments. “Connie” Einstein claims to be Albert’s Fourth Dimension. Jessie Lee is suing Warren for breach of promise — he promised to buy her an ice cream cone. Ethel Hall has at last learned how to whisper — V. P. I. “Bully Billard” was caught wearing Ex-Mayor Painter’s shoes. Captain Anna Hurst was seen “Jerking sodas” in Wilson’s. “Pest” Burton is catering to Aunt Eunice, now. Anita believes in traveling, this summer she is going to visit the State of Matrimony. Would you believe it? — Minter Jackson was seen flirting with his English book. Ahhh! NOTICE! Since Bud Ingles has lost weight, one may identify him by his curls. Ann Merriman was arrested for theft — she stole my boy friend. “Major” McConnell says the roll of the villain is new to him, yet he was seen killing a Lady bug. EXTRA! Geneva Pritchett has a secret crush — shh! — on “Pop’s curls.” “Tubby” Wright had an accident — he fell in love. (Spring is here.) Julia Vaughan is in need of a calendar, she’s been getting her dates mixed. G. Gossie Wilson was appointed Corporal of the Guard by President Hoover, because he trisected an angle. Wee Willie Turner has committed a murder — he butchered the King’s English. NOTICE! Trial to be held during commencement with Miss Bane as judge and Miss Hughes as jury. James Lucas is going to become an inventor and invent a typewriter with all the keys lettering I. so he can write a book. Professor Hines has decided to work in a quarry because there he can take a lot for granite. The Scandal Reporter found that Helen McGhee is a poor loser, because she couldn’t reduce. Discovered! That “Al” likes girls but prefers baseballs. What a miracle! Eleanor Smoot can wash off her lovely complexion. Brown Lucas has at last found out how to curl his lashes as well as his hair. Jessie Snider says he wants to be college bred, because it’s a four year loaf. Believe it or not — Beulah and Sarah are triplets. Emma Lorton is writing a book on “Why Seniors Get Gray.” Bells and Wedding Bells — Weta announces her forth coming marriage to her flaming youth, — she’s just a sailor’s sweetheart — now. Scandal Reporter notices that Reuben “Sweeney” Dehart never strikes at high balls in baseball now — especially against Rural Retreat. Doris thinks that Christiansburg boys are better looking than Radford boys — wonder why? Nina Underwood is giving the college girls a run for Tech boys. Screen news — Mary Pickford has lost favor in the eyes of the public due to “Liz” Wilsons success in “Sunshine.” It is rumored that Miss Morrison is taking Herbert to California with her this summer. Alpheus won first place in public speaking, due to his aeroplane posters. MYSTERY: Marybelle says she feels terribly dumb on Monday — what’s the reason? Signed, General Snooper, Detective. E. X. Aggerate, Scandal Reporter. WARNING: The Senior Detective and Scandal Reporter have given sufficient evidence of their ability to detect even the most guarded secrets. Hence, in the future let us all be careful of which foot we put forward. Professional Page H. H. H OWARD Dr. J. J. Giesen Dr. J. A. Noblin Dr. E. G. Hall Dr. J. C. Crews . . . . Dr. R. L.
