What more fitting, then, than that the Freshman, in this green time of his life, should enter school? The March winds and the April showers were very necessary to the building of the shoots of knowledge in the Freshman mind. And so, we so green and fresh in our dewy innocence, received at this time the first seeds of knowledge and felt the first pull of the plow and the cultivator in this spring of our career. But the March winds and the April showers brought forth an abundance of May flowers, and the Summertime came upon us almost before we knew, so delightfully did the one season blend into the other. We found the skies so much bluer and more inspiring, and the sun shone more warmly about us. We had stuck our heads high enough to see nearly as much of it as we imagined we could. We held our heads very high and we kept the stalks that supported them very straight. They were not yet very heavy with their accumulation of wisdom, and so did not droop with the weight. But our flowers were unfolding little by little. We were slowly but surely coming out into the light -of the day. But verily, in school life, even as in Nature, Leaves have their time to fall, and flowers to wither, and the autumn of our days came as soon as we were ready. Very brilliant was our foliage that year, very rich our fruitage, as the little buds of the Freshman year, grown into the flowers of Sophomore development, became the richer, more necessary and more satisfying fruit of autumn. It was indeed the harvest of all our early planting-the reaping of results of all our dreams and hopes and efforts. The glow of our radiant knowledge flushed the whole year with mellowness of sunset splendor. And it brought with it the glad Thanksgiving of November-thankful that we would soon be Seniors and that we had been able to achieve so much. But even this stage passed on into eternityg the fruit was all gathered and stored away in our memories, and with the snows of all the past in hoary wisdom upon our heads, we welcome the approach of Winter. The flowers have long decayed, as we outgrew them, and the seeds of the new life to be were stored away beneath the soil of our understanding, ready, at the call of the coming Spring, to put forth their new shoots and push forth into the new world. Rugged in our young manhood and woman' hood, clad in spotless snow and frost protecting the yet immature germs of developing life from the blighting atmosphere, we stand at the end of our course. 22 LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the senior class of 1938, Richlands High School, as we are about to depart do hereby make our last will and testament.

Only seven points were scored-those by Little Dynamite, Dick Olive, against the underdog Wise eleven. The season had its fine points, however, in the ine forward wall it presented. The disaster began with Appalachia. The afternoon was very hot and as much rest as possible was taken. The Blue team showed better condition however, and outplayed the opposition considerably. The line smothered all attempts at its dignity but was powerless on passes and end runs. The game ended 13fO. The following week a trip to Big Stone Gap was in hand and was made with hopes high. The line showed its usual impregnability with Captain Kenneth Hooker as the principal part of the stone wall. The enemy then took to the air and clicked for 3 touchdowns. The boys left the Held none the less daunted, however. The mighty Bristol team followed under the flood lights and by the time the boys had become used to them, 7 points were tacked up against them. The score remained the same throughout the game as neither team could get started. The Big Blue, now fully recovered, refused to be moved but weakened throughout the game by an inexperienced backiield was handicapped. The Richlands team learned to swim mud the following week when they met Wise. It was here that Olive, halfback, scored the lone touchdown of the year, tying the score of a previous Wise touchdown. A fumble behind the goal line, however, resulted in a safety and decided the game for the opposition. The first home game was with Saltville High the following Saturday. The visitors, undefeated in three years, literally took the game due tothe nervousness of the homef town backfield. The line displayed its oldtime ight, however, and credit goes to Jack McCall for his fire and defiance. The highlyfrated Graham squad invaded the home field the following weekfend and the Big Blue did itself proud by completely smothering all attempts at scoring. The very disgusted and sad GfMen left the field to a scoreless tie in which Nelson Frazier played a leading role. The agefold feud was continued the next week with Tazewell on a very muddy field. Throughout 3 quarters both teams struggled for a break and Tazewell inally got one in the form of a fumbled punt. A touchdown was the result in the closing minutes of the game. The Big Blue line again showed its aggressiveness by not only holding Tazewell but by putting a few out of the game as well. Kent Brown should creditably be a hero. The final game was played on Armistice at Abingdon. In a hectic first half in which the opposition scored twice while the boys in blue muffled several scoring chances by fumbling. The last half, though scoreless, was all in favor of the Big Blue. So the season closed on one of the most unlucky years of Richlands, athletic history. Material is developing, however, and Coach Hicks expects and will probably produce a championship team the coming year. 33 1937 Senior KickfOff Athletics have their martyrs and heroes, and football probably has more than any other, at least at R.H.S. Notwithstanding the fact that heroes are made, many of the Big Blues were born for football, especially the special heroes of 1937, the Seniors. These boys stuck together, which probably accounts for their fame. A formal intro' duction will better acquaint you with their ability: Kenneth Hooker, captain and center of the very rough 1937 squad, made a name not only for himself but threw the spotlight of Fame on the whole team as well. The name Hooker will be a yardstick for those who come after. Kent Brown, a somewhat slow but very powerful guard, also gave the galleries sensaf tions of goosefpimples. He was like a brick wall braced by concrete. jack McCall, another guard, but one of that little shifty kind which causes the opponent's line to lose its religion. Tough as rawfhide and twice as durable. Nelson Frazier, a lengthy tackle. Assisted by three years of experience, played the fourth mainly on inspiration, but he might as well have used his experience. Walter Padbury, another long tackle who was a nightmare to opposing ends. A man of action rather than words, he left a good record behind him. Freddie Tizen, end. Although he did not play in 1937, he made opponents shake in former years. His hands seemed to have a certain attraction for the ball. Dick Olive, halfback par excellence. Fast, shifty, and hardfhitting, he was a valuable cog in the Big Blue football machine. 34 .X I ,, ' 'QL X .
