Our stay though long’s but short, And in every gracious deed we show, The patience time hath wrought. Yet with all the power of our traits. The stormy world may rend Our souls with jealous hates, Whose wounds are hard to mend. But those of you who read these lines. Must rally in the fight. And turn to those guiding signs. That change darkness into light — So these parting words may call. Golden dreams to each and all. — John Barton. 12 S E N 1 1 U S OF inti o JOHN BARTON “Jib “A high sense of honor and efficiency must be obtained.” ELIZABETH GILBERT “Elizabeth” “Far may we search before we find, a heart so gentle, sweet and kind.” MURIEL HEGWOOD “Muzzy” “Sink or swim; live or die; siu ' vive or perish; I give my heart and ha d to this — Oak Leaf. ” . -sUS- ERNEST FISHER “E.

First year college claims our presence, But you’ll ever keep our hearts. Many lessons we have learned here. That we never shall forget. While in college we are working. They will linger with us yet. Our good times have been many. And they always brought us cheer. Teachers, we thank you for your kindness. We will ever hold you dear. Green and white are our class colors. We have picked them out of all. And should we take them on in college, Here’s hoping they’ll never fall! Lily-of-the-Valley! We chose you as the sweetest. Of all the flowers that bloom today. And we always will remember. As we go along our way. To the next year’s Senior Class, We leave a wish both fond and true. We wish you all the happiness That we can leave to you. Yes, it is true that we are leaving. We must bid old Senior Class adieu! For our task is not a small one. And there’s work for each to do. — Katherine Lipscomb. 25 S E N I K F EAT IT RES Senior I ' anorama September 12, 1932 This morning we entered Radford High School as a group of happy and eager freshmen. There were no lagging foot steps, and on every lip there was a smile. We freshmen looked forward to what the coming year would bring and to cap- turing every honor possible. October, 1932 Today, with Miss Scott as our sponsor, we elected the officers of the freshman class. The class officers are: President, Don Udell; Vice-President, Frank Robertson; Secretary and Treasurer, Dorothy McDonald. The colors we chose are blue and gold, the flower a Wild Forget-Me-Not and our motto, B2, which we will endeavor to uphold throughout the remaining years. May 25, 1933 Hooray! School ended today and we sophomores are leaving Radford High School, looking forward to the summer vacation. This year was successful in every way and may next year be the same if not better. September 11, 1933 With the opening of school today our pleasant and short vacation ended. But we sophomores are eager to get started so we do not mind returning to ole Radford Hi. October, 1933 This morning we held a class meeting to elect the officers for the sophomore class. The following students carried away the honors. Dorothy McDonald, President; Jeff Loftus, Vice-President, and Frank Robertson, Secretary and Treasurer. Our sponsor for the year is Mr. Giesen. The class colors are green and white, the flower, the Lily-of-the-Valley, and our ever respected motto B2. With these fine officers the sophomore class of ’33 will march onward and upward. May 30, 1934 Our school days as sophomores ended today. Gee, are we glad? Yes and no, but mostly yes. September 10, 1934 A gay bunch of juniors entered Radford Hi today feeling rather important and not quite so green. The goal we have been striving for is in sight — so fight; it’s worth fighting for. October, 1934 This morning officers were chosen to lead the junior class through the coming year. Those students in the limelight are Malcolm Campbell, President; Jean McConnell, Vice-President; Hazel Porter, Secretary and John Barton, Treasurer. Mr. Giesen is our chosen sponsor. Our colors are green and white, our flower the Lily-of-the-Valley, and our motto B2, which we have discovered many times is a worth-while motto. Now with our sponsor and these officers watch our progress. 26 S K X I U n F E A T U IS E February 7, 1935 Tonight we juniors took part in Stunt Night by giving a short play entitled “Sweet Hearts on Parade.” Luck was with us. We carried off first prize. What a happy and proud bunch of juniors we are! 1935 The junior and senior banquet which was the greatest event we juniors have experienced during our high school days started and ended tonight in a downpour of rain. My, my, what a damp, yet successful banquet, and what a happy bunch of juniors and seniors, while among the tulips and windmills, we forgot the |rain for the time being. All through the evening a happy and Dutchy atmosphere prevailed. May 30, 1935 The passing of today brought to a close our school days as juniors. We are proud of the fact that we have only one more year to spend in Radford Hi, yet there are regrets and much sadness at the thoughts of leaving. September 12, 1935 At last, the day has dawned that we as freshmen dreamed of. We entered Radford Hi today as full-fledged seniors. Gee, are we a dignified group of seniors! October, 1935 We voted on the officers of the senior class for the coming year. Those chosen are: President, Brainard Charlton; Vice-President, Malvern Hetherington; Secretary and Treasurer, Helen Graham. Our sponsors are Miss Lewis and Mr. Giesen. With two sponsors like these, what senior class could not succeed? March 20, 1935 Tonight we seniors participated in stunt night, giving a short, well planned and picturesque play entitled, “Grandmother’s Rose Jar.” April 3, 1936 This junior and senior banquet was certainly unusual as it turned out to be a leap year banquet. I wonder if many boys were left stranded or if many had dates broken with them? May 29, 1936 Never will we seniors forget this night of nights when we graduated from Radford Hi. There were many tears shed at the thoughts of leaving and although we are eager to travel still farther upon life’s highway, many wished that they were once more freshmen. May 31, 1936 Today we left Radford Hi forever. No — we won’t say that because our visits to our loved school will never cease. We will forever remember the many, many happy hours spent between the walls of our Alma Mater long after the echoes have died out. 27 S K X I O It F E A T IT It E S LaNt Will and Te� «tanieut of the C ' ' la� $� « of We, the Senior Class of Radford High, in the year nineteen hun- dred and thirty-six, being of sound mind, do hereby bequeath the following articles. Senior privileges and titles gained after four long years of struggle and declare it to be our last will and testament. We bequeath to the Juniors our poise and dignity with the hope that they may reach the hundred per cent standard of Seniority. To Miss Brown we leave a clapperless bell in case the electric bell fails to ring. Tommy Eakin leaves the title of “Mr. Adams’ Little Helper’’ to any Junior who can acquire it. To Truman Long, Frances Williams leaves her surplus height. Jean McConnell leaves her attraction for little dogs in the drug store to Billy Allen. Hazel Porter leaves her dignity to Lucy Towe. Clinton Donahoe leaves his wit to Evelyn Rotenberry. Muriel Hegwood leaves her privilege of staying out in the night air (with Roy??) to Betty Jones. To Lorraine Foster, Auburn Ratcliffe leaves those “youthful blushes. ’’ Genevieve Martin leaves her privilege of using a step-ladder to anyone who finds it necessary for the execution of such purposes as it has formerly been used. Dan Harman becomes Robert Rotenberry’s successor as Radford High School clown. Jeff Loftus’ magnetic personality remains as a memory dear to the hearts of all. Given this day, February 10, 1936, under our seal.

He was a good sport and a leader in school activities. Lewis Turner — Co-Captain, whose splendid line play was a factor in Radford’s well known defense. Brainard Charlton — It was his first year on the squad but he showed sterling qualities in his line play. Malvern Hetherington — A dashing end who had magnetic hands for passes. Robert Rotenberry — He didn’t make the regular team this year, but it wasn’t because he didn’t have the spirit. Roy Hammes — A newcomer to R. H. S., who showed splendid sports- manship in and out of school. Edward Winston — Although weighing less than 120 pounds, his fighting power was that of a 200 pounder. Billy Allen — Another fighter without much weight. He was one of the fiercest tacklers on the team — ask M. H. S. The fighting spirit of the Senior members of the R. H. S. squad was never more in evidence than in the Martins dlle game. It greatly aided in carrying our team to victory. Finally — we the Seniors of the ’35 team throw out the challenge to the team of ’36 — “CARRY ON.’’ 43 A T II I.

At the rally before the program officers were elected for the new year. Ap- proximately thirty-five members were present. The Home-Coming program was in charge of the classes of ’13 and ’14 and was well attended. It was followed by a ball game in the afternoon between Rad- ford and Vinton. The day’s activities were concluded with a co-ed dance, spon- sored by the Alumni and held in the Legion Hall. Interest in the Association has greatly increased during the past year and it is hoped that it will continue to grow. OFFICERS Eugene Grayson President Walter Goodykoontz Vice-President Evangeline Rotenberry Secretary Howard McConnell Treasurer •loke$« Mr. Adams — “When water becomes ice, what is the greatest change that takes place? ’’ Jeff Loftus — “The price, sir.’’ Jean McConnell (talking to some school chums) I don’t know what’s the matter with me. I seem to want to dance and sing all the time.’’ Ed Winston — “You have the hoof and mouth disease.” A Junior student, when told that his test was on the board, looked up and exclaimed in a surprised voice, “Well, I thought it was going to be autographed.” Miss Lewis replied, “It had better be autographed if you want any credit.” Bobbie C. — “Hazel, where is the Mason-Dixon Line?” Hazle P. — “Scram, I don’t know anything about railroads.” Auburn Ratcliffe (to Genevieve Martin at Homecoming Game) — “Will you have some peanuts?” Genevieve M. — “Yes, thank you.” Auburn R. — “How about a kiss now?” Genevieve — “N o, thank you.” Auburn — “Then give me back my peanuts.” Freshman (appearing at the door of room 107) — “Mr. Adams wants to see Tommy Eakin.” Ruth Wade — -“What! Again?” Miss Lewis — “Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s privileges.” Now I lay me down to rest. Before I take this S. S. test. If I should die before I wake, I’d have no S. S. test to take. 50 All VEKTISEMEXTS Glover Brand Dairy Products MILK BUTTER ICE CREAM Manufactured by Clover Creamery Company, Inc.

With ordinary talent and extraordinary determination, all things are obtainable. As you go forth to battle through life, save a part of your earnings and build your fortune year by year, like the mighty Oak. Do not build like a squash.
