. ma won Going along, side by side with study, is work, and, in a broader sense, the two are the same. It ' s obvious enough that study is work (ask any boy or girl in high school), and, also, work can be termed as a means of study. But for our purposes, and those of this book, we shall consider work as that which is not done in class; extra work, and outside activities. Attempts shall be made to give the praise and credit to those people who are always out of the lime-light, seldom receiving the honor for doing jobs unseen, yet necessary and vital . . . Page 26

Study - study - study - egads, what a subject! But, nevertheless, we have it, and plenty of it, too. We can certainly be thankful for the wide range of electives we have, for they surely make our school day more lively. To be allowed to study the subjects of our own choice is a privilege which very few other schools are capable of offering, and fewer still actually do. So, in some respects, for this necessary menace, we are still grateful . . . Upper left picture, going clockwise: Six of us are found cramming for an exam, at 7:59 on Monday morning, half-way up the stairs ... A classroom full of girls, with their heads all bowed, are laboriously taking down dictation, with the exception of Miss Noelker (2nd row, 3rd bock), who is engaged in writing a note to somebody, and doesn ' t wont to get caught, or else, just wanted to get her face in the picture . . . Miss Betty June Keesling, one of our six-point stu- dents, has managed to receive on A-plus overage for three years, now. She is shown below, while checking up on some detailed research, on Einstein ' s theory of evolution, and we of the staff wish to thank Miss Keesling for breaking away from her work for a moment, in order to pose for this picture . . . Senorito Clark has just uttered something foreign in Spanish, and for fear of missing something good, the entire class is trying to figure it out . . , Page 25

Herman was working on a chemistry experiment in Mr. Miller ' s room on March 17, and this picture is of him immedi- ately after he took someone up on the dare that he wouldn ' t shake what he had in that bottle. For the next six pages, he will not be seen, owing to obvious, unmentionable circumstances. Below: Merely for the sake of disproving the theory that yearbooks pop out of someone ' s sleeve, here is a picture showing the remnants of the Fall Pierian staff haggardly drooped over the desk in Room 315, as Mr. Peacock, sponsor, tells them they have bitten off a little more than they can chew. Yes, work - work - work, and this year, more than ever before, it ' s beginning to show results. In Dudley Johnson ' s speech training, Richmond is starting to win its share of first, second, and third places in contests all over the state. As this book goes to press, some of the final awards have not been made, but for those already won, we feel Mr. Johnson is responsible. This uprising enthusiasm in public speech, we are certain, is in all means, a tribute to the power and drive he has used to get it accomplished . . . Page 27
