Nt. , , By her determination to overcome all obstacles Virgie has Ar ,xzeff 4 r 1 X. , S f 4 'J Z won the admiration and esteem of our whole Class. Her g' I wonderful courage was proved when she undertook three foreign Y languages, and so well has she succeeded in these that she is H, ZADAVI A a htting example to the lower classes. Besides being xery modest Virgie has a large amount of cheery optimism, which has made smooth and Howery, through the High School her Ma gis? road and the road of many others. FRANK EUGENE BROWN, JR. Al man in riglzteoizszzess arrayed. Behold this pompadoured genius. He is generally thought to possess the most active imagination in the Senior Class, and his ability to spin yarns would put any sea-farer to shame. Frank also holds the medal for owning the greatest appetite, and has been known to conliscate great quantities of lunch on various occasions. He is also renowned as a mathematical prodigy and can fathom the intricate depths of geometry. As manager of the football team he carried his warriors on many raids, and became a general school favorite. As an architect Frank will no doubt build structures which will far surpass the pyramids and the hanging gardens of Babylon, and will leave his name carved upon the world's history. A wgx MARY CALLIE BENNETT I Heart on her lips and so-zz! wifliin her eyes, Soft as the :lime and .rzzmzy as the skies. Vtfe should all appreciate the fact that Callie travels two hundred-lifty-seven miles several times a year for the privilege of enjoying the advantages of R. H. S. She is one of our most P- popular girls, and numbers her friends by the score. Her ability as an actress was well shown in the Junior play, especially when she so dramatically closed the Suffragette scene with the words My Hero. Callie has always succeeded in getting through her classes creditably, although she has not any wrinkles as the result of study. She was elected treasurer of our Class in the Senior year, but money matters have not bothered her so far. lfVe shall all miss her sunny smile and loving manners when she leaves us to go back to her seashore home. 17 ,fag , 1. 51422- .- .4 V V gf-Et :L ., 72' I, .- 6142,-Q12-Qiiz 4 11.5 --'2i12i22? ,U ,Q , 'f 5-ij-g1f5.'i'1flE2L3 6252?

Ever since her appearance as a Greek Goddess in the class entertainment in '12 has Katherine been considered the most beautiful if not the most graceful member of our Class. Never has she the 'fbluesf' for her mind is constantly occupied with pleasant thoughts. 'Wfhether this is on account of her many V. P. I. and Blueheld admirers, or pure naturalness, we cannot tell. Anyhow, we look upon Katherine as a Ene student and a great attraction for the l913 Classg and can easily imagine her the happy mistress of a lovely home, in few years to come. EDWIN BLAKE CRABILL His heart was one of those which most clzaalzom' us,- W'as wax to recciw, and marblc' to 7'CfGIll.U Blake is the especial favorite of the girls in the typewriting room. I-Ie is their chief aid in securing paper, closing windows, and hxing machines. l-le is seldom too busy to help others, and because of this he is called upon for assistance more often than the other boys in the Senior Class. Blake's strong points are typewriting and general work in the business department. NVQ do not know what he contemplates making his life work, but whatever it is we predict that his pluck and determination will secure for him a position in whatever profession he chooses. MYRTLE VIRGINIA CHOCKLEY Her smiles are but touches of .mzzsluzze Myrtle has a quiet little manner that all respect yet she is jolly and bright. Her many friends will tell you that she is faithful in everything she undertakes. She has withstood the storms of tests and notebooks without ever losing her temper. lfVe hnd her indispensable to our welfare both because of her steadfast energies and gentle manner. l-Ier greatest 'fbugbearu is Trig, but this is soon forgotten by her devotion to English. This devotion is well requitcd by the respect in which the Faculty holds her. We are sure that her future will be as bright as her past, 18 ESTHER MITCHELL COULBOURN She 'is considerate, fcazclcr, sympallzeflc, 1'ej511ed. ' Although Esther has not been with us during the entire four years, by her charming manner she has won a large place in our hearts, and is recognized as a natural leader. She was the lirst president of the Martha VVashington Literary Society, and a delegate to South Boston, where she succeeded in carrying off the medal for elocution. Not least among Esther's many accomplishments is her ability as a chauffeur, and she can handle a Flanders with astonishing dexterity. She is noted for her brilliant and original translations-which, alas, our beloved lan- guage teacher does not appreciate. As editor-in-chief of this Volume, she has shown rare ability in keeping the Annual Board in working order and in presiding over meetings. She expects to take a kindergarten course at Farmville next year, but we predict that autos will have a far greater attraction for her than 'tdie Kinder. HENRY ASHBY DAVENPORT Talked of noble aims and high, Hizzled of a futtlru fine. Henry has always given us the impression of a Greek hero, even before his victory in the hve-mile foot-race in 1911, when he won the medal. 1-Ie is one of our best athletes, having played half-back on the Football Team '12, and was one of the stars on the '13 Basket Ball Team. His physical strength does not exceed his literary taste, however, for Henry is one of the most studious Seniors, at least he always manages to know his les- sons. As secretary ,of the Boys' Club, an active member of the I. L. S., and as athletic editor of this Acorns of Roanoke, he has borne the burdens of the school heroically and willingly. ln a few years, as a mechanical engineer, we shall see for him the beginning of a prosperous and happy future. MAUDE LEOLA CRUMPACKER nlflflzile this world lasts farlziozzs will 1'ule. ' Maude, like many of the Seniors, has a will all her own, and whenever we hear no from her, we know of old that to insist would be useless. Her faithfulness to M. VV. L. S. will long be remembered, also the envy with which her fellow stu- dents looked upon her knowledge of English and chemistry. Maude has enthusiasm in whatever she undertakes. Especially was this manifested in the Class Entertainment, '12g so should she fully decide that her calling in life is to be a suffragette, we know there will be none with more earnestness and lidelity than she. 19 FLOSSIE MAY DANIEL Har looks were like a flower in May, I-Im' smile was I-zke a sumzizer morn. It would be extremely difficult to write in one paragraph all we wish to say about Flossie. Her charming personality has caused us to resolve that without her the 1913 Class would be lacking one of its most important factors. Miss Critz and the whole Faculty as well, hold Flossie as a model student, and wish that other R. H. S. inmates would be as industrious as is she. The Class showed much wisdom in making her a literary editor, for no one has attended better than she, Flossie's great popularity with the fellows is a certain proof of her womanly VlI ELlCS. LLOYD H. ENGLEBY Imj201'tai1t the ,host that he lzeldf' Lloyd is the happy-go-lucky member of our Class. For four years he has talked and laughed his way through R, l-I. S., and although he was never known to study, he has achieved an enviable record among the students and Faculty. He has taken a lively interest in everything which is connected with the school, and in his office as sergeant-at-arms in class meetings he has kept admirable discipline. Lloyd is renowned as a heart smasher, and several of the younger girls follow his tall, hand- some hgure with longing glances as he strides through the hall. llis intention is to continue his career at V. P. l., where we predict a bright future for him in whatever he undertakes. BEULAH F. DRABBLE Her life was earzzest work, not playf' Beulahls facility for reading difficult passages in German and reciting lengthy lessons of Long's has placed her on a high pedestal among her poor fellow toilers. Not once in her four years work in R. H. S. has this model of scholarship taken an exam. In deportment also is Beulah none the less efhcient. Altogether we vote her a fit example for the youthful prodigies who are to follow. The Class fully expects Beulah to win the R. M. 'XM C. scholarship, and prophesy for her a future as brilliant as her past. A 20 N, .: -Q a at ppt .,-wig: 2 -. .:e.,. r X! S . i ...., , CLAIRE EMSWILER As pure and sweet hm' ffllvl' brow seenzcd eternal as the sky. Claire is a sure cure for the blues. Her tender sympathy and merry laugh have often helped us along the rugged highway to knowledge. Her ever ready good humor and engaging man- ners have won for her a host of friends and admirers. VVe have come to the conclusion that Claire was surely born under a lucky star, for the ease with which she writes an essay before break- fast convinces us that she has great literary possibilities within her. Claire's genius, however, seems to desert her when she tries to hammer the keyboard of the typewriter into giving 'forth a perfect page. Claire is a great advocate of athletics, and especially of basket ball. At every game she mav be seen leaning breathlessly over the rail watching the playerufsj. HUGH M. FIGGATT In awry deed he hath a heart to Vesolw, a Izmd to ronfritfe and 1 'i iz hand to ca'0c1lff?. ' Surely Hugh has a patent on luck, for he has succeeded in 1 . winning the hearts of the Faculty as well as those of his class- Q, mates. In the schoolroom, athletic held, or wherever he may be, he is held as a favorite. English is his strong point, and we ' . can easily imagine him gracing the platform some day as a great orator. Among his numerous charms Figgatt possesses a magnificent voice, and may often be heard serenading his admiring C?D classmates. He has received much distinction dur- ing his residence at R. lrl.. S., serving as class president in 1912, as president of the I. L. S., and assistant business man- ager of 1912 Acorns.', So we can all unite in singing HO, what's the matter with Figgatt?-Hefs all rightf, A xxx s s wx ff ' .,-G1-1-1.:-f54:Z5M 4 '. . f I-' 1 11.55. f-ilfiffi ,Q tiff fi -1 :z41-few-':L.'1 sears 'f ' 'F'1fi:.1Q4gI ANNA B. FENSTERMACHER Serene and pure amid the troubled day. Anna's disposition is as sunny as her hair, and her jolly good nature and droll remarks have made her popular with friends both in and out of school. VVhenever we hear a stifled giggle in French class we can always be certain that it comes from Anna's direction, for unlike her fellow students she seems to derive great amusement from her study of the Romance Language. Despite all her sweetness this charming little maid has a temper all her own, which does not hesitate to rise up and boil over when she feels that the omnipotent Faculty have trod upon her toes. Anna is the marvel of the Chemistry class, answering all questions Hred at her with astonishing correctness. 21 ELLA PRESTON FOWLKES True to lzersclf, True to lim' f-riclzds, True to lzcv' duly always. From the time Preston first entered the High School she has proved herself a conscientious worker and a sincere friend. By her willingness to translate Iungfrau, and her ability to solve puzzling math. problems she has won the gratitude of the whole class. Next year Preston expects to join the ranks of teachers, and turn her efforts towards instructing the youthful minds. We predict great success for her in her profession. EARL H. FISHER 'Sac gallant and me guy a S'ZUt1lII.', This quotation only half expresses the virtues of this chival- rous young man. His spotless appearance constantly brings to our minds that good old maxim about cleanliness and godliness. Earl is especially popular with the fair sex, and a certain well- known strawberry blonde fervently declares him the handsomest boy in the Senior Class. Earl is a perfectly normal student, only working when it is absolutely necessary, but always in some miraculous way getting through successfully. To make a long story short, however, we all like Earl immensely, and regret to learn of his intention to depart for the wild and woolly west to study mining engineering. MABEL ANNE GARRISON f'Sl1rf is g00d-I1l1l1fL7'EGiA, good-liufiiorecl and fz'cv. ' Many people have envied the ease with which Mabel pleases Miss Critz in the study of English. She seems to understand perfectly the manner in which her lessons are to be learned, and consequently gets some of the highest marks in the Class. In the Business Department, too, Mabel goes through her daily routine of work without a frown or an unpleasant word, for evidently here, also, she knows her duties, and attends to them. Often she is called upon to help some one less skilled in typewriting, and her aid! is given in such a charming way that she has com- pletely won our hearts. ln the M. WV. L. S., Mabel is a faithful member, and her name is frequently found on committees or honor. 22 ff, 9,311 , ,ia-:fi?s,..w -. 'far-1: :ff,,.,,58 'J ,,,,,,.,,. ., 41' 1, 6.

Through the storms of Burke and Long, of Iungfrau and Virgil, Iakie sails quietly and serenely, never deigning to let such trivial matters worry her. In the dirferent phases of I-Iigh School life she is always quiet and modest, never coming under the sharp knife which slashes deportment. I-lazel's beautiful complexion is the envy of her classmates, and her deep blue eyes have in them a spark of hre. In her unassuming way she adds much to the fun of our Class, and has completely won our hearts. It is with pride that the Class claims her among its -- ,V members. :iff ' ' ' I :2Qf,',.- -f rf -ff. I -1 CHARLIE DEUEL HURT fl111'011g fun milliozz, one is hr, The number of oflices and responsibilities which have been heaped upon Charlie testifies to his great popularity. He has become famous in our athletics, starring on the football, base- ball, and basket ball teams for several years, he is also business manager of our Annual, president of the Boys' Club, secretary of our Senior Class, and an excellent addition to the R. H. S. chapel exercises. Indeed when he and Terry tune up their violins we are sure there is going to be some music. Charlie has also made an excellent record in all his classes, especially has he succeedeclin pleasing Miss Critz, by his extreme courtesy. A universal favorite among us all, we predict for him a very successful career at the University, and in later life as a surgeon. 2 . ef.-1' . ,Q 5 ,, f g, ,g.g: REBA MERIDITH HARRELL I 'T1zc blush Zlzaz' on hm' check is found Bloamcflzv fresh the whole vvcaf' l'0lLlId.U VVe always look to Reba as a pal in good or bad luck. Her giggles are plentiful, especially in French class, where they are often heard ,to bubble over. Not only is she foremost as a fun-maker, but we also appreciate her faithful work in the M. W. L. S. VVhen Reba comes to school on cold mornings with her cheeks beautifully Hushed, she is the envy of all the girls. We only hope trouble Will never brush the blooms from her cheeks. 23 Av, f-M JIFESF' ,, 1., 3' I .. . t N :A 4279 NORINNE LOCKRIDGE HOFFMAN Her hair is like ihe gleanzing gold of dawn. Although this tall, fair-haired maid impresses every one with her extreme dignity of bearing, yet when Norinne rushes in declaring that she missed her car, this impression is somewhat modulated. ln French she astonishes even our dear professor with her excellent written lessons. Norinne has the happy faculty of not allowing two English classes to discourage her, and even Miss Critz marvels at the explanations of her poetry. lt will be with sorrow when R. H. S. awakens to lind Norinne and Alma, the inseparable twins gone from her walls. JOE ANDREW JAMISON hlflljlillifil riclzes ill a liitle 7'00IIZ-.U Ioe holds the great distinction of being the only boy in the Senior A French Class, and the way he sails through, Un Voy- age en Ameriquef' is quite an education in itself. He is also the best Hguesserl' in English poetry class, and his answers nearly always hit the mark, and get rewarded with a nice, fat ten. In athletics and art circles he is a prominent figure, and because of his skill in the latter line, is one of the art editors of this Annual. Ioe's greatest failing is his appetite, and the rapidity with Which he can make buns, apples, and miscellaneous kinds of grub disappear would put an ordinary boa constrictor to shame.

Her good humor is evident everywhere, especially in chemistry, where even the most terrible disappointments fail to bring forth a frown. Her witty remarks and eloquence in German move Mr. Findlay to tears and laughter. VVe regret deeply that not all the teachers can appreciate her sparkling wit. A loyal member of the M. W. L.

' Gordon is the most musical member of our Class. He has on several occasions played the march for chapel with so much expression as to make all the Freshmen stare with wonder, they being ignorant of his talent. VVith handsome features and a jolly disposition he has become very popularg but the worst MABEL HURST 'f-Im' hair is like the gleaazznzg gold of dawn, Mabel's beautiful golden hair is just an outward indication of the extreme brilliancy of her mind. How we have envied her those long weeks of examinations when she tripped gaily by, free from care. Pleasures do not always come to the brilliant, for Mabel missed the crowning delight of the whole year-that month of Burke. To her belonged the honor of guarding the class f'dough during the Junior year, and the faculty pictures of the Acorns.', This explains the somewhat sugary glances and smiles which she has received from that august body. She tells us she is undecided as to what course in life she will pursue, but if her record in R, l-I. S. is an indicator of the future, we know her pathway will be strewn with roses. fault we can Find is his failing as a heart smasher. JAMES GIBBONEY KAVANAUGH Fill byg was he of brawn and calc of bozzcsf' Ever since the day that t'Iim declared in Chemistry class that chloride of lime made excellent bean soup, we have had quite a high Opinion of his sense of humor. In fact he is gen- erally considered the comedian of the class. Despite all his levity, however, Jim possesses a dreamy, poetic temperament, and frequently as he wanders about whistling snatches from ll Trovatore we know his thoughts have flown far above the sordid earth. As may be recalled, lim broke the record for drinking Hginger pop on that memorable trip to the brewery. As captain of the football team he did 'some work, and even went so far as to break his wrist for the cause. Considering the fact that the space is limited we'll have to make a long story short, and say that Jim is all right all around, and Va. Tech. will acquire quite a genius when he joins its ranks. 25 .ef ,4f W'W, ,-,' ,, 5,. fl A t ' , ' ' ls fr EMMA ELIZABETH KEI STER Thine eyes are Jf'7'iIlg.l' 'in wlmse srrmze and silent icfcifrlzt fIf'G7,'L'IIf is semi. Around Emma's fair brow we can almost see the twining laurel wreath, for already she has begun to tread the higher paths of knowledge. Her ability to work Trig. sets her upon a pedestal, where she is adored by her classmates, especially by those young men who attend her Saturday afternoon classes in that subject. ln 1912 she served as treasurer of the M. VV. L. S., and as vice president of our Class, and literary editor of the Acorns, she has proved her ability to hold responsible positions. Her particular fad is horseback-riding, which she does admirably well. She declares her intention of pursuing the golden ideal of learning to the uttermost extent, and we predict that within the next few years she will have a string of degrees extending from here to Salem tMass.j, NORBORNE FUQUA MUIR 'B01'11 for szzrrrss llc .S'6l,IlICLf.H Norborne, or Snooks, as he is more familiarly called, strolled into High School sometime during the Paleolithic Age, and since then has been a familiar land mark in R. H. S. land- scape. In many departments he has shone like a beaming can- dle, lighting the way for others. During his sojourn in this institution he has distinguished himself in the Trig. Class and on the gridiron. As a general thing he is as silent as the Sphinx, but when greatly moved his tongue is like a burning sword. No one deserves success more than does Snooks, for his ability to work and to consecrate his mind have won for him high marks upon the record, and it is with pride that Miss Critz reads the grades of this remarkable pupil. FRANCES HAYWARD POLE KOEHLER And when she passed if scvnzcd like the ceasing of e.rqzzisiz'c Ill1lS'iC.v Wfe have long ago agreed that Frances is absolutely indis- pensable to the Class. Her sunny smile, and her invincible good humor has cheered us through many trials. No matter how completely she is t'squelched by the Faculty she does not lose heart, but goes at it again harder than ever. Her ability to work out chemistry equations as well as her overwhelming' fear of acids is well understood and appreciated by the Class. ln short, Frances is a jolly good fellow. 26 SARAH ELIZABETH MARVEL 'B1esf ttfiflz carlz frzlczzt and each arf fo pleczse, And born. fo wrzfc, cozzzfcrsc and lzw at case. From her first advent into the High School, Elizabeth has captivated all the teachers by her sparkling wit and extreme brilliancy of style. Often we have listened spellbouncl to her recitations of Burke and Long. She rolls her r's and accents her vvords like a born French woman. In 1912 Elizabeth was secre- tary of M. VV. L. S., and was sent as a delegate to South Boston. Among her other honors she is assistant editor-in-chief of D Acorns of Roanokef' and librarian. Wfe predict for her a MERIDITH MCLEAN PAINTER . Still clchivvizzg, still jm1'5ui11g. ' Meridith is unquestionably one of the most diligent mem- bers of the Class, It is true he is quiet, but there is an old maxim that still water runs deep. Because of his quiet reserve, few of us know him very well, for with the exception of occa- sional explosions in chemistry his direction is seldom heard from. His perseverance in English has won for him the much coveted favor of Miss Critz, and if in his future career he is as faithful to his work as he has been during his four years sojourn at old R. H. S., we predict for him unlimited success. GRACE PEARMAN brilliant career as an essayist and general reformer. ,.,. ,fa - f ,Aw Her smile is golden., XIUI' flflil' is f?l'0iQ'II.U Grace is one of the few mortals who have sailed through R. H. S. without getting squelched. One glance at her deep brown eyes shows that she is a dreamer, and the exquisite touches which she gives to her work show that she lives in communion with realms above the skies. Her sweet disposition is evident in German when Prof. Findlay decorates her German composition with criss crosses and curly-cues so that no ordinary mortal could solve, Grace sets to work and brings the most exquisite order out of chaos. Although Grace is silent when it comes to class scraps she gives both sides encourage- ment by her cheery smile. By her quiet modesty and gentle ways she has won a warm place in our affection. 27 MAYME AMELIA POSSIN Har hah' 'is no more suzzhier than her hcartf' Ever since she arrived here, Mayme's merry laughter has rung through these old halls. On every occasion she can see the silver lining of the darkest clouds. VVe deeply regret that our esteemed instructors cannot hear her witty criticisms on the lessons. Mayme is a great promoter of the general welfare of humanity, for she is not only a great worker in M, VV. L. S., but many lives are saved daily by partaking of her delicious lunches. Added to these noble qualities Mayme was a total abstainer on that notable trip to the brewery, thus putting to shame all her classmates. Mayme declares her future unsettled, but whatever she undertakes we know that the world will be W brighter for her cheery smile. EDWARD HART RICHARDSON Faith in womaahiad beats within his blood, and trust in all things high 0011105 easy fo him. VVithout Eddie the Class of 1913 would be an utter failure. It is he that makes life at R. I-I. S. a pleasure Cat timesl instead of strife. His strong will has won many victories for his fellow students, for through him almost anything may be obtained. The teachers, too, admire Eddie, on account of his great deter- mination, and this, too, may account for his numerous honors. In athletics he is a hero, in the Literary Society-a Demos- thenesg and wherever he goes-a leader. Oihces held by Eddie include, president of the Class '13g president of I. L. S. '12g vice president of the Boys' Club, '13, member of the football team, and joke editor of the Acorns. In every department his help to us, and to R. I-1. S. in general, is unlimited. Here's to a long and happy life for Eddie, the most popular boy in school.

Carriels fun and humor will instantly be apparent to those who read the Jokes in this volume. To find the reason for her great popularity it is but necessary to know her. 28 NINA MARIE QUINN All 01'af01'.r are dumb wlimz beauty jnlcadeflzf' Of all the girls in the Senior Class, there is none more popu- lar nor better loved than Nina. From the tip of her Titian crowned head to her tan boots she breathes forth the charms of love and beauty. Aside from her striking personality Nina is distinguished by many honorsg to her belongs the tirst repre- sentation from our Class in the Acorns of Roanoke. As vice president of M. NV. L. S., and as literary editor of this Annual she proves her ability in assuming responsibilities. On account of her literary talent we predict for her a successful career as a novelist of whom the Class of '13 will be proud. SAMUEL IRVING SHUMATE Not by years but by disposition is wisdom acqui1'Ud. ' If this line be true Sam will be sure of a seat among the -- learned of the earth. He has the distinction of being the youngest as well as one of the best liked boys in the Class. 'il Wltile in R. H. S. he has shown the true school spirit and seldom .4 is there a football or a baseball game at which he is not present. He has taken an active part in every department of school-life- studies included. In the Literary Society he has covered him- - self with glory in many heated contests. Chemistry is his delight, and manyulong hours he spends in the laboratory con- cocting smells most villainous. By his faultless manners and general jollity he has Won the hearts of his schoolmates. 4 X, BESSIE RHODA RAGLAND A maiden fair without p1'etmz.sc. Bessie advocates the motto to be seen and not heard, but . by her earnest application to duty she has won the respect of f the entire Faculty. Bessie's neatness is the marvel of all the ' girls in the Class, when the rest of us are all tired and dis- heveled, she is calm, collected, and neat as a pin. Even the . terrible explosions in chemistry do not ruffle her dignity in ,N the least. Every one votes Bessie a very pleasant help in time of trouble as well as a jolly good classmate. 29 51.5 - I 1 l' jpg: mis 65 ' . 4' . 'f EVANGELINE PORTIA RICE All 0f7C1Z-17,6CZ7'lCd maidcvz, jmrc and trim. Among the most popular as Well as the most attractive mem- bers of the Senior Class, is Eva, a general favorite of the school. Her bright, sunny disposition has helped many a poor, unfortu- nate student out of despair, and has made Eva's path through R. H. S. very Hovvery indeed. Not only is Eva a born actress, and public speaker, but her talent for domestic science has been displayed several times when she gave us samples of her cooking. As president oil M. VV, L. S. she did wonderful work with those students of literary inclination, and her remarkable school spirit was shown at every R. H. S. gathering from our occasional feasts to every game in athletics. Eva is also class historian, and proves herself suitable for any ofhce. Since her ambition has been realized Cteaching schoolb, we envy her pupils their charming teacher, at the same time rejoice at seeing her happily at work. ' PEYTON LEFTWITCH TERRY lf I have lost my ring, I still lzatle my finger. Peyton is one of the most popular of our classmates, particu- larly with the fair sex. In his four years here he has achieved great success in everything which he has undertaken. l-lis Ger- man translations are Wonderful considering the small amount of time he spendspreparing them. He has Won honors and praise for his ability to play basket ball, but greater honors are his in being assistant business manager of this Annual, and treas- urer of the Boys, Club. l-lis record as a heart breaker is Well known, and we are sure that by Hliddling-up on his violinn he can win the heart of any fair maiden. A ..-:ffeif C ' S A' 'ii ' 1. ri MARY MYRTLE ROBERTSON The maiden to wlzonz her work was all in all. lt is with great admiration that we look upon Myrtleis stead- fast walk in the path of knowledge. Often we have longed for that marvelous control of our tempers, which she possesses, for in all of Myrtle's school career she has never received anything but 100 on deportment. Because ol her lofty ideals and ex- treme modesty she has always been the favorite of the Faculty, who regard her words as from one of Whom they are justly proud. 30 4 9' Ji? fel 4. f 1 -Y Y X X f'Plf'1'flz a mrijled religiozz owl' all his work.

Especially is he popular with the Freshmen, but their admiration for him has not affected his disposition in the least. 1-le is studious, dignihed, and deter- mined to make a great name for himself. lf George is always as conscientious as he has been, we expect to meet him in a 'few years, with a long list of degrees and several medals. . .53--.., h ,1 . .,-.,.... 1:1-. .. 6' 'f .niyf ,'-Lg' 'L-J i'-' '1 1 1 2. . f':5':' 1 .Q 14.11 -ftitiiiirt ., 4 1,6 GEORGE WARWICK WOOD RUTH ELLEN RUSH riPCl'5CUL'7'lllIl'C r011q11m'c!lL all lllizzgxf' Ruth possesses an unusual power for attention.

May she pursue her future life with as much good will as her past. MILDRED SPENCER Little wilful ztfnyward ficliozz- Teasifzg, 10l'lu7'i11g c0l1f1'adzfii011. Mildred holds the distinction of being the greatest talker in the Senior Classy and whenever she speaks she is sure of an appreciative audience, for her remarks are nearly always of the highly colored variety. Nevertheless, we believe that she has honest convictions, and though we may not always agree with her in some of her opinions, we admire her greatly for her strong will power. Mildred is a true friend and a jolly chum, and her charming eccentricities make us forgive her weakness for the argument. Wfe predict that in the future she will be one of our leading suffragettes and we, in all probability, will be proud to remember that she was one of our classmates. 31 ELIZABETH SEMPLE Good natizre and good some are good C0711fI7lllLl0llS.U Elizabeth is surely good nature personihed. Her generositv is well known to all her classmates. Especially is she 'fliberali' with her delicious fudge which she brings for lunch. Even the outlandish number of seven subjects does not ruhfle her temper, for through it all she sails serenely with a cheery countenance. Elizabetlfs strong point is asking questions, which she never neglects to do when the least opportunity arises. She was never known to fail to have three or four examples to be explained in the Review Math. Class, or to let our French teacher escape a lesson without receiving a bountiful volley of her Fire. VVe know that whatever she undertakes in her future career she will make good. FREDERICK B. HARRIS Still runs ilze strmzn when the wafer is cieopf' There is no boy more gallant in our Class than Fred. He is always ready to do any small service for the girls, whether it be in Laboratory or Typewriting room. He has, through his four years with us, shown himself a splendid student, and won the respect of the entire Faculty and studfent body. Fred has gained a name for himself in literary circles by his splendid oratory in the J. L. S., and we predict for him a brilliant career at V. P. l. in this class of work. He also served this organiza- tion admirably as secretary, and in the Boys' Club supper his sunny smile adds much to the enjoyment of the other members present. IVIARGUERITE SCHUBERT A true friend 'is forezfer a f1'ie11d. Marguerite's first appearance as a suffragette in our play was an extremely successful one, and she has kept up this reputation ever since. She has always been a jolly classmate ready to help us all when we are up against it. She has also made an excellent record in all her studies, especially in English, for only a few of us have made a hundred on an English Exam. VVe are sure that Marguerite is a true daughter of old Erin, because of her fondness for green, and we are positive that she will be a worthy daughter of her race in all her work. 32 Senior Tffistory H1-E year of 1909 shall always be a commemorative period in the history of Roanoke High School in that one of the most renowned and esteemed classes entered upon the grinding out of the problems which make lives famous. At that time the Class of '13 was in chrysalis form, which form after four years of struggling has burst forth in glorious splendor. Only one who has had experience can appreciate the emotions of the timid rats, who enter for the first time the walls of R. H. S. Wfith quaking hearts the Class of '13 entered, and in both physical and mental agony passed that first day. However, after they had met, face to face, that all-seeing, all- knowing, and all-powerful body of individuals known as the Faculty, they realized that the worst was over, and encouraged by this began their four years' struggle with Latin declensions and Mr. XVells's productions. The Freshman year passed as all Freshman years do, with nothing really important happening to the rats.', The next September the Class entered the Sophomore year. This year passed quietly, being spent in hard, steady work, for the Class had come to the realization that success meant labor. The junior year brought with it the turning point. The Class knew that their high school days were half over and that in two more years they would enter a larger life. Lessons- began to have more of everyday life in them. Things were studied which were used as the basis of all worldly work. Geom- etry entered with its perplexing propositions, modern languages were a source of trouble, but the mastering minds soon made victory! out of them. The most important event of this year was a play, which was given in the spring. All the accomplishments of the Class were set before the public. Tall, willowy blondes, clothed in the drapery of Grecian goddesses, dazzled the audience with their grace and beauty. Wfinsome, dark-eyed gypsies brightened the scene with their dance and song. Other members of the Class, talented with dramatic power, gave promise of great futures. Speaking in theatrical terms, the production achieved remarkable success. The Junior year passed into time and the Class entered the greatest of all years-the Senior year. Wfith the knowledge of being a Senior came the realization that the course would soon be finished. Class meetings were held and officers elected. Special advice was sought in regard to the different professions of life. May drew 33 near, and the Class of '13 approached the goal. The last dash was made and the line was crossed Victoriously. So ends the history Of the Class of '13, Four years of success lie behind it, but with the joy of leaving this success there is also sorrow-sorrow that the high school days have passed foreverg that the Class of '13 stands at the part- ing Of the ways. Some of the members will continue striving until they reach the topmost rung of the ladder Of fame. Others, less ambitious, will give up the struggle, following the path which leads to Obscurityg but when and the eventide draws near, tlIe memories Of all will school days. They will live again in their yesterdays, pleasures, and in their hearts be glad. Most studious . . . . . Most ambitious Most popular .... . . . Most attractive Most stylish .... . . .

In my journey I saw many familiar faces. A First of all I saw Hugh Figgatt, D. D., in the pulpit of a large church, invoking blessings, prosperity, and happiness upon all mankind. No sooner was his prayer completed than a great peal burst from the organ. So masterful was the touch that I could not help looking to see who the wonderful organist might be, and great was my surprise to see my old friend, Flossie Daniel, assisted by Fred Harris, basso, Norinne Hoffman, soprano, Bessie Ragland, alto, and Peyton Terry, the noted violinist. After this beautiful service, I departed from the church with a great peace in my heart. I-Iowever, another pleasure awaited me at theqchurch door in the person of Esther Coulbourn, editor of the Broad Mind Magazine. She insisted that I walk home with her as she had many things to talk about that were of great interest to us both. She showed me the latest copy of her magazine, which contained paragraphs on famous men, among whom I noted many of my old classmates. There were I-Ienry Davenport, winner of the ive-mile foot race at the last Glympiad, foe A. Jamison, painter of The Court of Beauties, that took first prize at a large art exhibit, Edward H. Richardson, Senator from Virginia and ex speaker of the I-Iouse, Mildred Spencer, most prominent of the women senators, Dr. Charles Hurt, president of Johns Hop- kins University, Nina Quinn, leading woman educator of America, Frank Brown, chemist and inventor of a noiseless, smokeless, Hameless gunpowder, Myrtle Robertson, Americals foremost essayist, and Gordon johnson, moving picture actor. I-IE other day as I sat in my chair I fell asleep and my spirit Several days afterward I happened to come upon a bridal procession enter- ing a large church. For some reason or other I had a great curiosity to see who were the lucky parties, and I entered the church with as little noise as I could. Great was my surprise to see James Kavanaugh, comedian, and Eva Rice. a leading grand opera star, standing before the Rev. Earl Fisher. One day as I was driving through the streets my attention was called to 35 a handsome building set far back in a beautiful grove of trees, surrounded by a high steel fence. I was told that it was the old maids' home founded by some of my old classmates-Callie Bennett, Katherine Brunner, Claire Emswiler, Reba Harrell, Frances Koehler, and Carrie Price. This is a real Palace of Beautiesf' and the charms of the inmates are such that no man can resistg the result being that there are hundreds of hearts broken every year by those hard-hearted goddesses. I I also made visits to all my old classmates who had married. I found that every one of them had married Well and presided over pretentious homes of their own. Their ranks were made up of Preston Fowlkes, Mabel Hurst, Alma Huff, I-Iazel Hassam, Grace Pearman, and Ruth Rush. I am at last come to the most interesting part of my journey, a part that will bring exceeding joy to your despairing hearts. I saw a model high school, and it was model because it Wasrun by those who were best fitted to make it so. They were all members of the same class at a school that was far from model. The principal was Blake Crabill, A. B., A. M.g Emma Keister was vice principal. The faculty was composed of Virgie Amos and Beulah Drabble, Englishg Myrtle Chockley and Meredith Painter, mathematicsg Anna Penstermacher, chemistryg Elizabeth Marvel and Norborne Muir, Lating Sam Shumate, scienceg George Wfood, vocational trainingg Mayme Possin and Lloyd Engleby, foreign languagesg Mabel Garrison and Maude Crum- packer, instructors in the intangible maze of businessg Marguerite Schubert, director in the beautiful study of music.

I f l ' Qilhlayeb Uiebeatsal l-IE sun came into the car window unpleasantly hot and Durbison opened his eyes sleepily and swung his chair away from the offending rays, thus bringing into View a trim y sailor hat and a coil of brown hair above the chair opposite. Across the green carpet the sunbeam found its way and then dropped its brilliant ray upon the girl's hair touching it into brilliancy almost golden. Durbison realized suddenly that the three hours' ride to Sanderson might prove endurable in spite of the heat and dust. john Howard had written that he might have company down. The sun glancing on the narrow mirror oppo- site struck back into his face. Durbison looked that way involuntarily and smiled as a pair of blue eyes fixed curiously on him dropped and guiltily drew away. But his smile was a jubilant one for the eyes refiected in the glass were blue and he recognized them from the description john had given him as those of Dorothy. He rose and laid his hand on the back of the chair. I beg your pardon, he said, but -lack wrote me that you might be on the train and I recognized you at once from the description. I'1n Phil Durbi- son, you know. I'he girl put out her hand in cordial welcome. I am glad, Mr. Durbisonfl she said. I thought it might be you when I came in but you were asleepg sit down and talk to me, do, or I'll soon be asleep myself. The girl had a ring of genuine welcome in her voice, so he sat down. Isn't it a little strange for you to be on the late train to-day? he asked. Not at all, there were a dozen details that had to be attended to person- ally. Jack wanted to come, but I dared not trust him. You have no idea, Mr. Durbison, what a wedding is. By the way, are you nervous?', I-Iorribly so. It's your first experience, then? My first, but I've had some very narrow escapes. When my brother was married, I had sudden business in Mexico, and when our junior partner de- cided no one but me could be his best man, some mines in Colorado needed instant attention. In fact, I am doing for Jack what I'd do for no other living man. The blue eyes thanked him. It is good of you, she said simply. I-Ie has- tened to reassure her, MI am glad to do it for Jack-and you. She blushed quickly and looked away. Jack is very fortunate- she began. He surely is, he murmured. 'fIn his choice of best man, she finished laughinff. You have never been to Oak View? Never, b 7: 40 'tThere's the dearest little church, all ivy around just like old English ones, or whatever they are. And the decorations-I designed them myself. And the bridesmaids, dresses- She broke off. But you are not interested in the dresses. But I am, he insisted, interested in everything that relates to this wed- ding except my own miserable part. Are you nervous? leaning forward to look at her closely. So much that I purpose to change the subject and call a forfeit for every time it is even mentioned. Done!'i he cried delightedly. XVill you promise to forget for two hours that there is to be a wedding? I will, solemnly. 'lsn't that in the ceremony? She laughed, Start again and I'll play fair. She leaned back and looked out the window. She was young, younger than jack had let him suppose. Durbison decided that jacks descriptions had not done her justice. I.sn't it beautiful? she breathed at last. Beautiful, he echoed, and she turned suddenly to 'find his eyes still study- ing her face. I was speaking of the beauty of nature, Mr. Durbisonf' Her tone was icy. So was Ig but if you really prefer the sunset suppose we go outside, it's warm in here anywayf' They stood together in the rear doorway of the ear and, steadied by his hand, she ventured upon the platform. Slowly a feeling of tenderness for jack Howard grew within the man as he gazed at this beautiful girl, for surely there must be depths in a manis nature more than ordinary to merit a com- panionship as precious as this girlls. It is getting cold, she said, we must go inside. They took their places silently. The lamps had been lighted and he turned to look at his watch. Seven twenty, he said, we've been losing timef' She gasped, Rehearsal at eight thirty, I fear we will not be prompt. The two hours are up, she cried, merrily defending herself, we may talk of it now. Certainly, he answered, I should not have held you to that promise. It is only natural that you would want to talk on that subject. Go on, I am prepared to listenf, But you're only saying that to please me, so we'll talk about something else quite different. NVell, after a moments deep thought, let's say-jack. Tell me, Mr. Durbison, do you think Jack is happy ? The man she was regarding so intently smiled dryly. jacks no fool, he said. I-Ier eyes opened wide as a child's, grieved and hurt. I don't think I understand you,', she faltered. I meanf, he hastened to explain, when such luck as jacks comes to a man he'd be a big fool not to be happyf, Oh! Iseef' 41 Silence for a moment and then, Mi: Durbison, you are very fond of Jack? l always was, he said, his words coming slowly, until to-night, I feel now that 1-hate himf, The little note of bitterness jarred but she laughed it off. Don't take it so, she begged, there are harder ordeals in the world than being best man for a friend. You are right, he echoed, but he would not look at her, there are harder ordeals than being-best man-for a friend. The train had been moving at a slow rate and now with a bump stopped. She looked into the darkness outside, lYhere are we? There's a star, make a wish. 'ltls too late,'1 he mused. NVell, l wish that we would get out of here somehow, for I am starved- and that rehearsal V' Pounding on again for a few yards then another stop. Go out and ind the trouble, she asked, and where we aref' Five minutes later Durbison found her on the steps of the car. Stuck behind a freight wreck, he said, good for three hours. Oh l she gasped in terror, and where are we?'l At Sheridon-seven miles awayf, Mr Durbison, we must get home somehow. Can't they run us up oh the wreck train or something?', I am afraid not. Then we must walk, that's all. I donyt see, Mr. Durbison, what you ind to look so cheerful about. Dont you realize the weddings to-morrow, and Jack will never forgive us if we don't have a rehearsalf' Durbison thought seriously. The situation is trying, especially for youfl and then as a moisture began to gather in her eyes, he added hastily, I'll see if anything can be found fit to drivefl Anythingl anything! just so it will get us out of here, she cried. Nl took you at your word, he answered some minutes later, it happens to be anything. They stood on the station platform and laughed at the decidedly primitive means of rapid transit drawn up for their approval. 1 That horse can make it in an hour, for that spring wagons light, the owner of the team was saying. Gut into the night they started. Now and then the darkness was cut by a Hash of lightning and thunder was heard in the far distance. The wagon pitched from side to side in the darkness and then the girl in the wagon bed rose and touched the larger figure above her, breaking the silence by a hollow whisper, Did you understand this to be a spring wagon P . I did. ' 'flK'here are the springs? l'm jolted to pieces and l'm deathly afraid of thunder. Please make room for me up therefi 'fCertainly, can you climb up ?,' and he put out his hand to help her as she stepped on the box that had been her chair and then settled herself beside him on the seat. 42 On into the stormy night they went. The thunder sounded nearer and it began to rain, A closer Hash of lightning and she shivered and drew her shoulders together. He took off his coat and made her put it on in spite of her protestations. The rain came in torrents and the wind tossed the girl's Wet hair against his cheek. VVhere is your hat ? I left it at that next to the last awful bump, she groaned. l'll never have anything to do with another wedding as long as I live. That's very plausible, he said. I think it is more forcible when I say l'm sure I Wont. Three miles yetj' the driver answered when they had finally found cour- age to inquire. A hopeless stillness fell. At last Durbison felt the slender figure beside him tremble, and after some time it seemed to him that he heard her crying. lYhat's the matter Pl' he asked in alarm. She sobbed aloud, My fingers are frozenf, VVrap them up in that coatf, C-can't,l' she gulped, my feet are miles off the fioor and l have to hold on. Durbison threw back his head and laughed, Poor little girl! he said, Uwrap them up any way, and if jack objects we'll just tell him it was a case of necessity and mercy. l-le drew her to him and she leaned against his arm, her hands in the pockets of the coat. Isnit it funny F she said at last, our meeting this way, all because I didn't take the early train-and donft you envy Jack at home all high and dry P f'Sorry, he said softly, yes and no. l-le whistled softly for a moment and then went on, Envy Jack? For the first time to-night and probably for the last time ever, l do not envy jackf, The lights of Sanderson came into view and as they arrived at the top of the hill the village clock pointed reprovingly to half past nine. jack Howard came down the steps to meet them as the wagon rattled up the drive. That you, Durbison? Been telegraphing all over the country for you. Got my sister with you? And then as the girl on the wagon seat sprang to the ground, lack turned the bewildered Durbison around to meet a tall girl with blue eyes and brown hair. Here they are at last, Dorothyg stop worry- ing about the rehearsal, we've found the best man and maid of honor. Durbison realized that the mistake was natural, for the description jack had given him of Dorothy would Ht either her or .lacks sister, as far as eyes and hair were concerned. And then in the confusion he caught sight of a little dripping figure trying to steal past up the steps, and he whispered into a tangle of very wet hair: 'Tve changed my mind about another weddingf, but the girl pretended not to hear as she ran lightly up the steps.

Eicr when a new habitation Sought was in climes beyond seas, Much that was prized was forsaken, Much of the old order changed, Much of the trust in life shaken, But faith in the goddess clung still. Hence in a vale in Virginia Wfas builded, for love of the goddess, Our dear R. H, S. for a temple XVherein might her Worship be offered. Four are the courts of the temple, Ranging from outer to innerg Four are the years of the service, Ere the goal and the glory attained are. Sealed are the courts with mist, And clouds of incense hang heavy. None may a higher court enter, Till judged by the priests to be worthy. High in the midst of the temple, Reached from the inner court only, High in the dome in the center, Hang the gifts of the goddess to all Wfho have faithfully toiled in her honor. Golden keys does she give them For opining the gates of the future. High hang the keys, and a cloud mist Hides them from view, but their gleami Lightens the whole of the temple, Instilling new courage and longing. The throngs that fill up the temple 46 ng Are the youths and the maidens, whose parents Have vowed them to service of Wisdom. Among them the priests and the priestesse Move, ever 0'uardiuO' and ffuic,linff-1 f D D b 2?- Iu the innermost shrine is the high priest, NYhose hands give the lcevs to the victors. D . For him, alter long years of waiting, Wfas the face of the Goddess unveiled, D E'er after his face showed the fflor f D That followed the sight of the vision. '10 was the year of the advent Of the Class of which I would sing. Fourscore and more was their number, From lesser shrines far oft and near. Some with demeanor respectful, And hearts full of awe and of wonder, Followed, the priests' Word obeying. Others the service neglected, Thinking the priests they surpassed, and Themselves e'en the goddess to equal. This, then, the goddess perceiving, Froxvned, and the priests stern, with warui S ll gb And penance tasks, sought to reform them, And turn their eyes to the parchments Wfhereon was the goddess's will written. Into the temple bold en'mies Crept, spite of care of a priestess, To steal away from the goddess The hearts of her youths and her maidens. Tdleness, indolent, smiling, Lured them with antics and laughter. Wfeariness pale, and lierce illness At times seized victims unwilling, Slyest of all, most alluring, Deceiving e'en priests by his archness, Dan Cupid wrought havoc far-reaching Tn the heart of many a toiler. Stealthily, sure and compelling, 47 Came jealousy, stirring up anger, And making with discord the marring Of the erstwhile rhythm of peace. This last in the third court transpired, And greatly the high priest was saddened. Many and fearsome adventures Must for the goddess be l:1lllSl1CCl- Journeys in this world and others, Journeys to future and pastg Battles with earth, ire. and water, Struggles in tongues dread and strangeg Great men long dead resurrected. Their secrets of life must unfold. Each moon is a sacrifice offered- From each student a portion of brain Is taken and laid on the altar, The goddess's favor to gain. Many there are who have striven, And many the quests boldly won, But some by the wayside have fallen, Though far beyond midnight their torches Affrighted the owlets and stars. Now to the inner court coming, Lighter the mists are, and clearer Glows through the veilings the keys- The strong talismans for the faithful. Not yet is the service completed, But vision broader and better To the youths and the maidens is given For choosing 'mong pathways bewildlring. Some will the goddess abandon, Some will their keys hold as naught: But some with their faces e'er watching Their hands, and their hearts' best performing. The goddess may place on their labors The ultimate crown of her smile. HELEN BULMAN, IV B 48 memories emo Tllictures in Ibe Tfire a house party at her grandmother's beautiful, old-fashioned home in the country. That evening the other guests, includ- ing Karl Harris, Ella Bowman, jesse Hollingsworth, Esther Hubbard, and Emma Ammen had gone to a dance, but I had b HAD accepted the invitation of Ernestine Showalter to attend preferred remaining at home. The dim, mellow light af- forded hy the candles on either side of the mantle was very conducive to go straying among pleasant memories. Presently the fireplace became a stage and the glowing coals and bright flames became my schoolmates playing now life games in the world or playing again the old school days. They did not come in any sensible order-those old friends of mine-but as the firelight subtilely suggested they came and as the passing of dream characters they went. First there was English Showalter, the brother of my hostess, a graduate of johns Hopkins law school. The thought of his most recent and successful speech recalled the time of his yesterdays, when he brought honor to the Roanoke High School as well as to himself by his speech at South Boston. One stick on the hre which had not been burning suddenly flared up, with the brightening fire came the name of Sara Masinter-the inspirer of the Class of 1914. Sara had an ardent co-worker in Myra XN7oolwine, whose great- est talent, however, lay in an entirely different direction, for it was flirting. Suddenly I saw in the fire the scene of the last wedding I had attended. It was that of Elsie Rau and DeLos Thomas. just as the notes of CHannahj Mendelsohnfs wedding march, rendered by the accomplished pianist, Ethel Manuel, died away, and the officiating minister, Ernest Smith, was ready to begin the ceremony, the solemn stillness was abruptly broken by a giggle from Hilda Gleaves, one of the bridesmaids. No one ever discovered the cause of the sudden mirth, but those who had known her of old never sought a reason for I-Iilda's giggling. During the ceremony the famous soprano, Emma Wfool- wine, sang softly a sweet old love song. There was soon to be another wed- ding in which the beautiful singer was to be the bride and the college profes- sor who had written Emma seventy-two letters by the time she was in the junior year at Roanoke High School was to be the groom. 49 The whole fire burned more brightly and I vividly beheld the laces of the class beauties-Flora Philpotts, Josephine Shields, and Bonnie jack. In the old grammar school days I had condemned Flora as a heartless flirt, but later I learned that it was her own attractive, lovable nature which made every one adore her. j'osephine's fascinating bright eyes and curly hair proved irre- sistible to every one except the teachers, who were cruel enough to cut her deportment grade below the safety mark, Bonnie was a darker!-and a more thoughtful-looking beauty. These three faces so vividly outlined in the wavering gold and blue of the tlames reminded me of my latest visit to the celebrated museum of art re- cently established by Vernon Yost, one of the heirs of Mr. Carnegie's wealth and beneticent spirit. There were two pictures which impressed me very much- Summer, painted by Elizabeth I-lill, and lYi11te1', painted by Har- old Bottomley. Summer was a girl with golden hair and blue eyes, standing up in an automobile gathering luscious red cherries from a tree by the way- side. The whole scene suggested the season, but the girl was the very embodi- ment of the happiness and sunniness which means sumi'neri ll'inter was rep- resented by a girl skating. She wore a red cap on her dark hair and the color of her cheeks matched that of the cap. lfler black eyes sparkled with the delight that only winter pastimes can give. In these two girls I had recog- nized Mary Stone and Harriet lVilson. The pictures were entered in a con- test for a prize and the judges were to be Loveline Coleman, Myrtle Bowling, and Bloclwin Voigt. Another picture in the museum which revealed the skill of a true artist was The Perfect ll'O1T1211'l,i, painted by Helen Bulman. Dorris l-Iuff, one of our most lovable schoolmates, had served as a model. A piece of wood burned in two and tell to either side, revealing a bed of coals which resembled a room full of people with their 'laces turned toward a man standing on a platform. I instantly recalled Reginald Koehler's recent political speech, in which he touched on every subject on earth and heartily assured the people that it the Republican candidate for presidency. Gordon lVelch, were elected the country would be ruined, but it the Democratic can- didate, Tom Divers, were successful an ideal condition would result. Then quickly came the memory ot the time when Kathleen Holtz, ardent supporter of the Republicans, and Reginald were in the same history class. They fought again the fight of the Missouri Compromise, the measures of the Omnibus Bill, and the bloody battles ot the Civil lVar. Neither was victorious but Kathleen emerged from the conllict with the sobriquet, Mrs, John Brown. Recently Kathleen wrote to me that she had moved to Mississippi ther friends wonder why she does not return to her beloved Northl. 50 The fire had died down but 1ny ability for seeing pictures had not dimin- ished. Now I beheld the chapel at the Roanoke High School. It looked different, for the former teachers had all departed, yet their places were filled with familiar faces. At the desk in the middle of the platform sat Mr. Mc- Quilkin's successor, Maury lVebster. ln Miss Boards place was Anna Camp- bellg in Miss Lovelaces, Carrie Oakesg in Miss Mabry's, Ruby Keslerg in Phelpss, NVilliam Malcolm: in Mr. Layman's, Elbert Priceg in Miss Critzs, Amo Bloxton g in Miss London's, Edith Mooreg in Mr. TlU1'1lC1',S, Eliza- beth Sempleg in Mr. Eeale's, Roy Lindseyg in Mr. Eindlay's, Hallie Beardg in Mrs. Sinclair's, Bessie Callowayg in Mr. Parsonss, John Sherman. The prin- cipal announced to the school that the speaker this morning was one to Whom these walls were familiar, one who had received her share of fun from school life and who had tried the patience of the teachers more than once. Thus introduced, May Rowbotham, in her peculiarly funny manner, entertained rather than instructed the pupils by her reminiscences. But it was the Faculty who enjoyed the talk most, for as May spoke, back came the bygone days, the old faces, and the old ups and downs, With the Hupsl' most prominent. l!Vl16U she finished, Martha Kidd played on her violin, Auld Lang' Synef' She played softly, tenderly, not for the pupils but to the teachers, VVhen the violin had half whispered and half sobbed the last notes, the students applauded uproariously, but the teachers sat with bowed heads and the tears were very near their eyes, for auld lang synef' My thoughts were rudely interrupted by the noisy return of the guests from the dance. Thus it was that there was not time to include all my school- mates in my thoughts at that time. INCOGNITA, IV. l ll E' ll l 51 TRUTHS AND FACTS It is a law of all mankind To manufacture trouble, This poem's a proof, on the sea of truth Is often found a bubble. Now in this school We love so much The ups and downs are many, To help us 'long and make us strong Are teachers, brave and plenty. There's one, you must have met I'm sure, VVho'll stop a recitation, To tell you plain, you are insane, A disgrace to the nation! Another, 'til exams. you'll like, In class, you'll be in glory,- But Lab. days spent on pleasure bent, Will tell an awful story. On Latin, you may think you've made A hundred!-no deduction, But not at all, on you they'll call For some minute construction. When English comes, which all should love No matter Who the teacher, You'll find it best, and you'll be blessed, To act just like a preacher. In French and German you must work Until your brain is whirling, For there Will be no sympathy, If failure comes from girling. L. B.

Wfe, the Class of 1915, however, spent many months in real- izing that a few people in the world actually knew more than ourselves. Having discovered this fact, we immediately began to strive for more knowledge. Christmas, mid-year examinations, and the new term passed swiftly, and we found the finals. ln the struggle that followed a few fell by the Wayside. and the more lucky passed to the long-desired rank of Sophomores. lt seemed the happiest moment of our lives when upon returning to school in September we assumed the dignity of old students. Therefore, imagine l,TllOUGH the conceit of Freshmen is very great it is always our chagrin when, in searching for the rats we found there were none. The Intermediate School had taken every one and the pleasure of cordiallyC?j welcoming them was lost. Qur disappointment was soon forgotten, however, under the avalanche of work which fell upon us. Faithfully we toiled through until at last the Christe mas holidays came, and then how short it was until examinations! Again we passed the ordeal bravely and began the spring term. The Class was now ready for organization and, accordingly, February twelfth a meeting was called for that purpose. The Class officers elected were Mr, Beverly Boyd as president, Mr. Wfilson Cook, vice president, Miss Anne Lacy, secretary, and Miss Ranie Plunkett, treasurer. I Several honors have been taken by the Class the past year. The medal offered by the Daughters of the Confederacy for the best essay on Stonewall jackson was won by a member of our Class, and several others were given positions of honor in the various organizations of the school. Class spirit has developed rapidly and as we look backward over the past two years and forward to the coming two, we resolve to make this Class one of which in after years we can proudly say, I am of the Class of 1915 in the dear old R.

The comical old man shuffled through the door and down the street to the nearest saloon as quick as his decrepit old legs would carry him. He chuckled to himself all along the Way and shook his dollar in his pocket as if it were a hundred.

Roanoke High School was to play the Lynchburg High School for the State cham- gi lg pionship. Our team had defeated in succession the Belmont fi ig Athletic Club, Roanoke College, Randolph-Macon Academy, ' Jefferson Athletic Club, Troutville High School, and other teams in this section, while Lynchburg had defeated the Norfolk and Peters- burg High Schools, and was proclaimed champion of that part of the State. The interest centered in this final game surpassed that of any ever shown before. The Norfolk ck VVestern ran a special section to bring the crowd from Lynchburg. The great game was to be played at the Fair Grounds. The crowds started to pour in long before the scheduled time. The Martha Wfashington Literary Society came in a body, with colors flying, offering encouragement to our boys. The ground was in excellent condition and the white lines in contrast to the green grass made a pretty sight. Amid the shouts and cheering of a most enthusiastic crowd, our team appeared at the gate and was greeted with a tremendous burst of applause as it trotted on the field for its final practice of punting, running through sig- nals, and kicking goals. As another thundering bellow of applause burst forth, we stopped and eyed the other team as it appeared on the field. Wife were in the best of condition to win the State championship, and this was the last game we had to win. Gui' opponents were as determined as we were to capture the honor and carry it back to their school. Both teams surrounded their coaches and received final instructions for the battle, which were, f'Hold that linef' Tackle hard, Get your man, Hit the line hard, and Play like h-Y' The captains withdrew to one side and the referee tossed a coin. Lynch- burg won and chose to defend the west goal. The time of the quarters was fifteen minutes, five minutes' intermission between halves. The whistle blew and the battle was on. Our kick-off was high and long, and their man, with clever dodging and side-stepping, managed to bring the 68 ball back twenty yards. Both teams were nervous which caused fumbling and resulted in favor of our team, as we secured the ball on their thirty-yard line. An end run, a short forward pass, and two center rushes gave us the first goal. The grandstands went wild and old Roanoke High School advanced the ball again and again. As we prepared to kick goal everything became quiet again, the ball dropped to the ground, and a perfect kick by Nelson hurled the ball straight through the goal posts. Again the noise broke forth and we grew confident of victory. The ball was placed in the center of the field and the teams lined up for the second kick-off. This time our men got well down the field on the kick-off as the ball sailed high in the air, and the man was tackled in his tracks. VVe were on the twenty-yard line and our quarter back tried a long forward pass to the right side. A Lynchburg player jumped into the air, caught the ball, and was off down the field with no one between him and the goal but Daven- port, who was playing on the left side. It was a beautiful race, although it did not seem beautiful to us at the time. Running diagonally across the field, Davenport with wonderful speed was gaining on the fleet-footed Hillclimber. lf he could only catch him before he reached the goal! At the ten-yard line Davenport made a beautiful dive and brought his man to the ground. The crowd stood up and yelled themselves hoarse, cheer after cheer being given for Davenport, the hero of the day. The ball was only seven yards from our goal and the two teams lined up, each with a determination, Lynchburg to make a goal, and Roanoke to keep them from it. A center rush was expected and our men crouched low. Like a Hash the ball was shot back and the right half back started around left end, our whole team after him. Suddenly the left end was seen dashing around right end, easily making a goal, downing the ball directly back of the posts. The double pass had fooled us. It was now Lynchburg's chance to root and their schoolmates responded with a will. The goal was kicked and the score tied. The first quarter ended without further scoring on either side. The whistle blew and the teams again lined up, both with renewed deter- mination to win, The ball was ours on the forty-yard line. First we tried a long end run, but gained very little. Then a forward pass was executed, which was good for Hfteen yards. Then we fumbled the ball and Lynchburg got it. They tried their double pass again, but our left end downed the man behind the line of scrimmage. Then they tried to force their way down the field by brute strength. Our defense was like a stone wall, for every man was doing his duty and playing the game of his life. The ball was lost on downs and 69 we tried their experiment, but their line held equally as well. The second quarter ended with the ball still near the center of the field. ' The third quarter started with vim and dash that brought the crowd to their feet. The men on both teams were unable to stand the terrible strain of the fierce struggle for supremacy that was on and they were being laid out, and some of them were carried off the field weeping, unable to do anything but lie in their blankets and watch their teammates finish the struggle. Neither side scored in the third quarter. Wlhen the whistle blew for the beginning of the last quarter, both teams lined up with a determination to carry out those instructions pounded into them by their coaches. Roanoke High School must win. The State champion- ship was at stake. The signal was given and the battle was on again. It was a question of which side could stand the awful strain. Lynchburg had the ball in their possession and, again and again, sent their full back at our line. For a moment we weakened and Lynchburg made their downs. The visiting root- ers grew more confident and yelled themselves hoarse. Our men made a wonderful stand. Each time--the men piled up, our line holding nobly. Soon the ball was ours on downs. Time was sho-rt and a goal was needed. Quick as a flash the ball shot back straight into Nelson's hands. The opposing team lunged at our line, trying to break through, but our de- fense was perfect. The drop--kick was successfulg the whistle blew, and the championship was ours. FINIS. LLOYD ENGLEBY, 'l3.

Here, as elsewhere, it one's ieet. There can be no doubt of the great capacity for good in this regard. Pleasure and profit combine in the work. The Society gives its members not only an opportunity for improve- ment in literary ways, but also affords a means for that social mingling which promotes real school spirit. The membership of the Martha Wlashington Society numbers, at present, about eighty-six members, all good and earnest workers. From a literary standpoint, morework has been done this year than last. Several debates, affords an opportunity for furthering the art of thinking on both prepared and impromptu, have been given, which have shown remarkable talent among the girls. The Martha W'ashington has a steadfast opponent in the leffersonian Literary Society. The rivalry between the two societies is keen, and since Competition is the life of trade, the work is lively. The real aim of the Society is to broaden and develop the members intel- lectually, to enable them to consider all sides of a question, to express them- selves in a few, or as few as possible, words. Those students who have neglected joining the Society have made a great mistake by denying them- selves the greatest privilege Roanoke High School can give. They have lost the chance of gaining knowledge which is not found in textbooks. But, however, it is not too late to correct this sad mistake, and when the fall term opens many new names should appear on the Martha Vlfashington roll. The talent of the Society was well illustrated last year at the interscho- lastic contest held at South Boston. Wfe are proud of the recognition gained there as a result of the part taken by some of our members. At the Com- mencement exercises many of us, when we heard the voices of the two girls that night, were filled with joy to think we all belonged to the same society, and had a faint hope that some day we could approach their mark of perfection and add to the fame of the Society. 75 But the literary work cloes not entirely deal with the downs', oi school lifeg there are many ups'l as wellg namely, feasts, musical programs, and lastly but not least, an enthusiastic interest in football, when all the 'tMa1-thas, becleckecl in the society and school colors, go out to the games. The latter may not seem to be a strictly literary eltort, but it shows true school spirit, which is the very essence of social success. The members owe much to the Faculty in appreciation of their interest. especially to Miss London and Miss Mabry, who with tireless energy have supported the Society as censors, but, as in all other enterprises, self-reliance is all important and we, the members, must be active and energetic to achieve definite results.

The Society set out with the object to train its members to be competent and successful debaters and orators. Vlfe can well be proud of our success in accomplishing this ob- ject. The record in contests with other school societies is indeed an enviable one. Out of four schools debated we have won three, making the number of victories balance well in our favor. The first debate held with another school was with Daleville College. In this debate we were defeated by a few points, but nevertheless, a good showing was made, and brought the Society recog- nition. The next debate was with Randolph-Macon, and this time we were successful in defeating an old school rival. Then came the debate with the National Business College, in which we also came out with another victory to our credit. After a lapse of about a year, we again tried our skill with another old school rival, the Lynchburg High School. Again victory crowned the Society, bringing happiness to the members at having defeated an ancient rival. Not only do these victories in debate prove the success of the Society, but the individual skill of the members has been successfully demonstrated in two inter high school contests. At the Brookneal meet in 1911, Mr. Morris Masinter, a member, distinguished himself and brought honor to the Society by winning the debater's medal. Again, at South Boston last spring, Mr. Koehler won distinction for the Society by capturing the declaimer's medal. This was the first time a member of the Society had tried work in this branch of oratory, but with this good record established it is safe to say that many more members will attempt this special work in the future. Wfith so enviable a record thus far established, it is the most sincere wish of every member that the Society may continue to win fame in both these branches of oratory. Many young men have gone forth from the school, and by their early train- ing in the .leffersonian have established splendid records in the colleges and 79 universities throughout the State. The list is long and it would indeed be a task to endeavor to do justice to each and every one of these young men. However, among the most important of these are Mr. Randolph Coleman and Mr. Lamar Sherertz, of Roanoke College, Mr. Hugh Stanard, Mr. Lynwood Keyser, and Mr. Frank Lemmon, of the University of Virginia, Mr. Harris, of Virginia Polytechnic Instituteg and Mr. Morris Masinter, of Wfashington and Lee University, who covered himself with glory by winning the debater's medal at the annual celebration of the literary societies of the school. The Society can be justly proud of its representation in the larger schools through- out the State. All of these young men say that they feel their success due to the excellent training received in the Society here. Our Society, through the skill and efficient training of its members, has honorable recognition throughout this section of the State. May this reputa- tion never be lowered, but may the standard of the Society continue to be carried farther to higher realms of distinction and honor!

The next few meetings were made interesting by debates and readings. The Society is now in its infancy but it promises to become one of the best literary organizations. The spirit that is shown by all members in taking part in the debates is remarkable, and at every meeting new members are enrolled. Qui' aim is to follow the examples of the ancient orators after whom we have named the Society. Every two weeks, on Friday afternoon, the Society meets. Two or three business meetings have been held, no program being carried out. After the opening of the 1913 term, new officers were elected. The next meeting' we were challenged by the Jeffersonian Literary Society to a debate. 111 this we were victorious and were greatly encouraged to con- tinue our literary efforts. In the future we hope to be as well known as the 1-ligh School societies. Wfe trust we may meet them many times in debates, Members of the eighth grade alone are eligible to membership, while we remain active members for one year only. Still large thing-s may be accom- plishcd in a year's time. Wfe wish to thank all who have helped us in any way, and feel that in time they will be repaid in seeing us a strong society, one to make the hearts of the founders proud.

P EYTON TERRY 84 BOYS' CLUB fiffistory of Yvoys' Club important organizations in the history of this school. This was the formation of the Boys' Club of the Roanoke High School. The object of this Club is to promote the welfare of the school and to develop a strong school spirit among ARLY in the fall of l9l2 there was instituted one of the most the students that will remain unbroken through victory and defeat. The Club owes its existence to the efforts of Mr. H. T. Baker. State Boys' Y. M. C. A. Secretary, and to the kindness of the Y. M. C. A. ofhcials in permitting the use of the Association Building. But the success of the Club is due entirely to the cooperation of the Ladies' Auxiliary of the Y. M. C. A. in preparing the suppers and to the wonderful spirit shown by the members. The firm foundation on which this Club is based can only be appreciated when We consider that such prominent men as Mr. C. R. Wlilliams, Mr. john Izard, Mr. Alfred Anderson, Mr. C. M. Speese, Mr. J. H. Creighton, and Mr. I. D. Beale give their time and assistance in conducting the discussions at each meeting. It is impossible to fully estimate the value of this organization to the school and students. The boys are drawn closer together and become better ac- quainted and are made to realize that upon them rests, in a large degree, the success of the school in every undertaking. The success of the Club has been aided wonderfully by the valuable assistance rendered by the young ladies of the school in serving the SL1pp61'S. Wfith such a promising start the future Roanoke High School Club should not only uphold the present reputation of being the best in the State, but should expand and become the best in the United States. 86 FOOTBALL TEAM Nfl f y Tfoolball Roanoke College ...... H32 Roanoke High School. .. ., ... ..... . ..... 3 The first game of our season was played with Roanoke College in Salem and resulted in a defeat for us. During the hrst quarter of the game we car- ried the ball within striking distance of their goal and XV. Nelson put a pretty drop-kick between the uprights. But their superior weight soon began to tell and they bucked our line for six touchdowns, The game ended with a score of 32 to 3 in favor of the collegians. jefferson Athletic Club. . . . . .10 Roanoke High School ............................. lO The Saturday after this defeat we met our old local rivals, the Jefferson Athletic Club. Again Wt. Nelson kicked a held goal in the first quarter, but our opponents succeeded in doing the sanic thing. In this game our sterling defensive qualities were shown. I. A. C. recovered the ball on our four-yard line and in four downs could not carry it over, but later they made a very lucky touchdown, while we also made one. 92 Lynchburg lligh School. . . . . . 7 Roanoke High School ............................. 17 In this game in the Hill City' we defeated the State high school cham- pions. As usual, we kicked a field goal in the early part of the game. 'But by a beautiful forward pass over our goal line they scored. Wfe ran a touch- down in the first half and another in the second, ending the game with a score of 17 to 7 in favor of Roanoke. Randolph-Macon Academy . . . . .14 Roanoke High School ............ ................ O Two weeks passed before we played our next game, which we lost to Randolph-Macon, simply by overconlidence. Lynchburg High had beaten R. M. A. and we had beaten Lynchburg. XX'e, therefore, reasoned that the Academy boys would be easy meat. They proved otherwise, however, and defeated us by the score of 14 to O. Lynchburg High School. . . . . .13 Roanoke High School .......,..................... 10 The second game with L. H. S. was the most unlucky event that has hap- pened to R. H. S. for some time. In the first minute of play their end got completely away with a forward pass and made a touchdown. Later a Lynche burger picked up a fumble and made another. XfVe made a field goal and a touchdown through their line. Greenbrier Military Academy. .. .... 32 Roanoke High School ............................. O Our next trip was what might be called a wild goose chase. Wfith four or iive of our regulars out of the game we went to Louisburg, XN'est Virginia, and played the strong Greenbrier Military Academy team. They were very suc- cessful in working the forward pass and also at plunging our line. They avenged their baseball defeat by beating ns 32 to O. 93 Jefferson Athletic Club. . . . . O Roanoke High School. .. ..... . . .. 6 The last game of the season was with I. A. C., and resulted in a victory for us. In thisganie we far outplayecl our heavier opponents, although the Score shows it but slightly. The team this year was niacle exceptionally strong through the excellent defensive work of the center and the tackles. Out of seven games played, we won two and lost four, having tiecl one. Wfe extend to Coach Gravel our thanks for his interest in us and f ' Y Work on ou1 behalf. ,JL-Eigiti, 1 ..4, 4-15: .1 W .1-l,5',i, A avte gf , A' ' ,.

This was the first time these two teams ever met. The Danville boys played good ball, but their work was greatly excelled by that of the Roanokers. From start to finish the game was one-sided, though not without interest. The score was 18 to 76 with the big end going to R. H. S. Lynchburg High School .... .... 2 3 Roanoke High School ............................. 21 Cn our next trip we had three games scheduled but on account of missing train connections played only two. The first was with Lynchburg, and as usual luck seemed to be against us, for we lost the game by two points. But it was nip and tuckl' throughout the entire forty minutes, play. The timer blew his whistle when the score stood 23 to 21. jefferson School ....... .... 4 5 Roanoke High School ............................. 3 The other game on this trip was the only real defeat we met during the whole season. It was played with the fast Jefferson School team. VVe left Lynchburg with three of the regulars out of the game. The fast, heavy team and the large floor of the Charlottesville school worked our ruin to the tune of 45 to 3. Bluefield High School... .. .29 Roanoke High School ............................. 34 The next Saturday we played Bluefield High School again, this time on our own floor and with better luck. The Beavers came to Roanoke quite con- fident of winning again from us, but we showed them what we could do at home and they carried the sad news of defeat back to Wlest Virginia with them. The game was rough, fast, and snappy, and ended with the score 29 to 34. 99 Randolph-Macon Academy . . . .... 22 Roanoke High School ............................. 44 The next game we played was with Randolph-Macon Academy at Bed- ford. This team was tall and heavy, but our speed and pass work made up our deficiency in height and weight. Wfe succeeded in doubling the score on the Academy boys. Randolph-Macon Academy . . . .... 22 Roanoke High School .' .......................,.... 33 , The last game of the season was played at home with the R. M. A. team and again resulted in victory for R. H. S. This made the sixth straight game of basket ball in which we defeated the Bedford team. Out of ten games on schedule we played eight and won four-fifty per cent. is not so bad. Through the management of Charles Hurt, basket ball in the last two years has become a very popular sport at High School. fllhe success of the team this season was due largely to the interest taken in it by its sup- porters, by the captain, joe Engleby, and by the team itself. . ..1,1F' 9' ,legs 5 X f ,th ..:,g.,e fqt' gy -L , V .9 A ,. ,W f14s?114S5.za-i4':3ii5f,-, ?4fr7f.x ,f was-vm. ,LY A.

The score was 10 to l with the big end going to our opponentsp Daleville College ...... . . . 2 Roanoke High School .....,......... 0 Our second game was with Daleville College, and Hunter pitched a good game with Nelson catching for R.

O In our next game we just missed a fine chance to defeat our bitter rivals, R. M. A. Nininger pitched a beautiful game and was well supported by the team, but through one bone-headed play on our part the game was lost 1 to O. jefferson School ...... ,... 1 l Roanoke High School ............... 3 Wie played two games on the next trip, and on account of lack of finances were forced to sleep in depots or any other place we could find. As a result, all were in poor condition when we came toplay the game. Against jefferson School Nininger pitched the first live innings, then Fairbrother was put in. Fairbrother failed to save the day, however, for we went down in defeat 11 to 3. 104 Augusta Military Academy. . . . . . 4 Roanoke High School ............................. l On the same trip we played the Augusta Military Academy a five inning game, having to stop on account of rain. Fairbrother pitched for the second time on this trip. His work and the support of the team were good but ex- celled by the opponents, and we were beaten 4 to l. Greenbrier Military Academy .... 5 Roanoke High School ............................. 9 On the next trip the team played exceptionally well and won the nrst game, which was against the VVest Virginians Greenbrier. VVe started things at the very first, the first man up making a three bagger. So it went the whole game, we played the better ball and won 9 to 5. Covington ............ . . . 9 Roanoke High School ............................. 5 Another 5 to 9 game was played on this same trip, but this time the big end went to the opponents, Covington. Fairbrother and Nelson were the battery for Roanoke and they did nice work, but the heavy slugging of the Covington lads was too much for R. H. S. The 1912 season was somewhat discouraging although the team was a good one. Their defeats were due largely to the fact that no games were played on the home grounds. Early in the season Irl Brent was elected manager of the team. He arranged a good schedule, which was carried out very efficiently by Harley Fairbrother, who was elected later in the season when Brent left school. Wle thank Mr. Ernest Sampson most heartily for his services ren- dered as coach. 105 C 19 H QI U5 liens -Y I- :. I 5: I-QQZQ , V RQ as 71h limi' F-T --. ,A-.l Hg, 1. She Howes lavQf'k7?pq mfr 11019.
