Lee High School Staunton, Uircjinia Dedication The name of mother glows amid The gloom of mortal £tory: Her love a light in nature’s night, A When fortune fades and faithless friends Turn in disdain from you, The hearthstone of her heart burns warm And she is grandly true. To you—the mothers of our class— This book we dedicate: ’Twas born of love; as we were born Of love we venerate. gleam of heaven’s glory. Foreword the Staff of the 1927 LEEWAY, present this volume with the hope that the students may find within its lids something that will remind them of their Alma Mater in the fruitful years that lie just ahead. We have tried to portray in some measure every phase of the activities of Lee High, and to place in permanent form a record of the year ju£t gone, that when the vanished years shall have left their frosts upon our heads, we may sit beside December’s flickering flame and turnino the soiled and faded leaves of this book, behold ourselves again clear-eyed and care-free as we were in the Maytime of life.

He has made a splendid president of the senior class, and lias done wonder fid work in helping the class to he a success¬ ful one. He was president of the Hi-Y Club and did a great deal toward helping this club get started several years ago. We are also proud to have the president of the Virginia-State Hi-Y Club in our class. “Glover” is always willing to help students and can be counted on when asked for aid. “Glover,” because of an athletic heart, injured while participating in athletics, has not taken an active part in athletics, but lie has done all in his power to promote them and school spirit in Lee High by his great influence among the students. Wherever “Glover” goes, we send our best recommendations as an all-round- fellow. LILLIAN HENDERSON BELL Philomathean Literary Society; Freshman Reporter The Record; Senior Reporter The Record; (leneral Athletic Association; Cast—Rosetime A cheerful disposition and a willingness to serve has made Lillian one of our most beloved members. She has a smile for everyone and is everybody’s friend, always willing to do her part. She has been appointed to numerous offices and committees and has always been found competent. With her many good qualities we are sure she will make another “dear Miss Bell” for Lee High. D. Vv T- WILLIAM A!. B.

B. S.,” Armstrong has been an active worker in all activities at Lee Hi. He has given the new Lee Hi Boys’ Club a great start- off as the first president and it is now well on the road to success. He has con¬ tributed much to the Record and Leeway and whenever “Bill’s” opinion was given, it usually received due consideration. “Bill’s” big hobby, however, has been athletics and especially football. He has given the best he bad to Lee Hi, no matter what lias been assigned him. Whenever “Bill” can help he does. Wherever “Bill” goes, we recommend him, not only as an all-round-fellow, but as a student. ELIZABETH NORFLEET BROCKENBROUGII Secretary Phoenix Literary Society ' 27; General Athletic Association; Secretary Phoenix Literary Society ’25-’26-’27; Editor of Alumni News, The Record, ' 26- 27 ; Secretary of Senior Class ’26-’27 ; Cast—Rosetime Elizabeth? No, just Beth—but what would we have done without her? She came to us late hut we soon realized how lucky we were that fate had placed her in our midst. Not only is she popular in the Senior class, but certain members of the Junior class claim many of her spare moments! She’s always ready to help and when a cheery word or smile is needed she’s right there with plenty of ’em ! From the sample she has given us as class secretary, we have every reason to believe that Beth will be successful in whatever career she may choose. Beth, we are hoping that Dame Fortune will smile favorably upon you! HARRY EDGAR BAYLOR, JR. President Philomathean Literary Society ’27; Assistant Subscription Manager Record ’24-’25, ’2S-’26; Circulation Manager Leew ay ’27; Treasurer Senior Class ’26-’27 We will now present you to Harry, our illustrious student, whom we are hoping will get a Maxima Cum Laudc. Harry is our great historian, and some day we may expect to hear him compared with Gibbons. Harry is not only an excellent student, but he is very popular although he is rather quiet, but whenever he says anything in a meeting or class room he is generally heard with due respect. We don’t know what Harry is going to study or do, but whatever it is we know he will make good, and send our best wishes for his success. © JESSIE WARREN BROWN (ieneral Athletic Association “The only way to have a friend is to be one.” Jessie Warren is one of our most dependable girls. During her three years with us she has won a place in our hearts that will last. It’s fine just to have known her because she’s alw : ays jolly and in a good humor and no one can be gloomy around her. Some day we expect to see Jessie at the head of the Spanish department in one of our colleges. CHARLES PHILLIPS BLACKLEY Charlie” Parliamentary Critic Philomathean Literary Society ’27; (Literal Athletic Association; Ili-Y Club ’2S-’26; Hi-Y Club ’26-’27; Senior Write-Up Committee; Cast—Rosetime The top of the morning to you “Percy,” don’t you know. “Charlie is our typical Englishman—not only in plays, hut also at school with his broad A’s and jolly jokes. Charlie has taken great interest in the 1 activities at Lee High and has never shirked his duty, but has promoted in every way the interest of the school. He has a happy disposition and a good and cheerful word for every one. Charlie is another Senior who doesn’t know what he is going to do in the future. But whatever this may be the regards and best wishes of the Class of ’27 go with him. VIA VIRGINIA CLIFTON Philomathean Literary Society; General Athletic Association Via, although extremely quiet, is one of the dependable members of our class. She is always willing to oblige her classmates, and is ever ready with a quiet smile and helpful suggestion. Via, as one of our best students, has received the Leeway awarded a member of the Senior class. We arc sure V ia, unusually modest and reserved, will make her place in this old world. JOHN OLIVER BUTLER “ Johnny’’ General Athletic Association; Sophomore Reporter Record ’24-’25 ; Charter Member Hi-Y Club ’24-’2S; Football “S” ’25-’26 ; Monogram Club ’2 ' 6-’27; Business Manager Record ’25-’26- ’27; President Junior Class; Vice-President Hi-Y Club; Treasurer Phoenix Literary Society; Vice-President Senior Class ’26-’27 ; Senior Will Committee; Leeway ’26-’27 ; President Phoenix Literary Society ’27; Sast—“Rosetime”; Business Manager Leeway ’26 “Johnny,” also known as “John Oliver,” is one of the most popular members of our class. He has done a great deal in school activities and it is not likely that “Johnny” will be forgotten at Lee High in the years to come. It was due to his great interest and work that the Leeway got a great start and is such a success. He has also been of great aid on the Record staff, (and his opinion lias always been welcome when he wants to give it.) “Johnny” has carried the Lee High spirit on the gridiron and has done his share wherever he has been placed and many are the yells that have gone out for him. Wherever “Johnny” goes we wish him great luck and say that he is a fine fellow. MARY ARTHUR CLINE General Athletic Association It isn’t always what we say but what we do that means the most to others, and so it is with Mary Arthur. Because she is so quiet and reserved it is hard to find out what she thinks, hut by her actions we know that she means business. If Mary Arthur lives up to her high ideals, hers wall he a successful career. To her we give our best wishes. £ iVL f L(. bc - WILLIAM BRADFORD CAMP FI ELD Phoenix Literary Society; (leneral Athletic Association Mr. William Campfield, otherwise known throughout the world as Bill, is also one of our Class of ’27. “Bill” is also a great radio wizard and even when his hardest exam, is not five minutes away, you’ll hear him say, “T got San Francisco about twelve last night,” and then comes the radio discussion. Although “Bill” is one of our smallest members he is generally visible one place or another and you often hear his name called by others than the boys, as he is very popular with the ladies. We, the Class of ’27, expect to hear from “Bill” in the future and our best wishes for great success go with him. FLORENE STEWART COLLINS “ Flossie Phoenix Literary Society; General Athletic Association; Vice-President of (lirl Reserves; Exchange Editor of Record; Cast—“Rosetime” “Flossie,” has the rare ability to get along with others, a happy disposition, and she is no imitation. She always agrees with ns except in Geometry class ( ?) where things have to be made plain by a certain Senior. Her bright morning smile set many Seniors in the right path for the day. “Flo” is the most contented girl in our class. And our optimistic Senior class gives its best wishes in her career as a “School Ma’am.” JAMES RENALDO CERANTONIO “Jimmy” Monogram Club; Sergeant-at-Arms of Monogram Club; Honorary Member of Athletic Associa¬ tion; Football “S” ’20; Philomathean Literary Society; Cast—“Rosetime” “Jimmy,” known among students of Lee High as J. Dillingham Jones because of his part in the Senior play, in which he made a big hit is well known among the student-body as a student with a smile and a kind word for everyone. “Jimmy” has not only taken an active part in promoting school spirit hut he has done well in his studies which is what we all go to Lee High for. “Jimmy” has also done well on the gridiorn. He has shown the old Lee High light which carries one to the hearts of the students of Lee High. Wherever “Jimmy” goes, he goes with the best wishes from the Class of ’27. VIRGINIA MARCELLA DIEHL Philomathean Literary Society; Cast—“Rosetime” Virginia is well known to ns because of her constant giggle. When in a crowd we sometimes do not know she is there, but with a few friends Virginia is the “life of the party.” We know that the patients whom she will nurse will not regret being sick. ' j A ) ' X RICHARD EDWARD COLLINS “Dick” (ieneral Athletic Association Richard, familiarly known as “Dick,” has been with us but a few years, but by his obliging nature has won a host of friends. When it comes to answering any questions or giving definitions in English “Dick” is always there with his wonderful (?) vocabulary. Although not given to superfluous conversation those who know him find him a staunch friend and a hard worker. We predict success for you “I lick” in your chosen field of architecture. s ISABEL HAMILTON ELLIOTT Phoenix Literary Society; Secretary and Treasurer of Class ’24-’25; Girls’ Basketball Team ’25-’26; Girl Reserves Club; General Athletic Association; Cast—“Rosetime” Here is our sunny Isabel, ever ready for a prank or a joke and always the life of the crowd! But she can be serious too! If Isabel undertakes anything you know it will be done and because her motto is “Whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well,” you may count upon it being well done. Isabel is a deligent student and as a reward she captures high marks. To know this worthy Senior is to love her, and although we send Isabel out into the world alone, we feel sure that it will not be long until she will have one of those “cottages small.” tin mi minimum ffiniminm _ w LilT? i 11 jl ii nVi i i i i i i i i mm it 111 Vi 11 i iTrrr Y ' V V 1 b I fj my I =l H L,; ■ 5 1 r. 3 0 ivi MAXWELL GOODLOE Sergeant-at-Arms Philomathean Literary Society ' 27; Athletic Association ’23-’27; Honorary Mem¬ ber Athletic Association ’26-’27; Football ’25-’26; Captain Philomathean Football Team ’26-’27; President of Monogram Club; Hi-Y Club; Senior Write-Up Committee; Cast—“Rosetime’ “Max” is our idea of a fine student. Although “Max” has been one of our most diligent students yet he has found time for numerous outside activities. And he is always ready and willing to show school spirit in every way. In Senior math he belongs to the “shark” branch of the piscatorial family. Good common sense, perseverance and efficiency are dominant traits of character possessed by “Max.” His friends wish him the greatest of success in whatever he may un¬ dertake. nmmmrsn rnrm uryrnm AUGUSTA CHRISTINE HARMAN Philomathean Literary Society; General Athletic Association; Girl Reserves Club; Cast—“Rosetime” Augusta! Who will ever forget her? No one I am sure, for she has a place all her own in Lee High and it couldn’t he filled by any one else. Augusta has a long drive to school every morning, but when she gets here she is ready for whatever awaits her and she always knows her lessons. We are sure that Augusta will make a success in whatever her life work may he because she will tackle it with determination and will win. DORRANCEALFRED GRAHAM Phoenix Literary Society; (ieneral Athletic Association; Manager Baseball ’27 Dorrancc is characterized as being of a congenial, friendly temperament. He and his diminutive shadow (Campfield) are the radio experts of the Class of ’27. Both try to keep posted on the newest inventions of radio receptions. And from what we have heard they have tuned-in on every station from Selma to London. The best wishes of your class go with you, Dorrance, in whatever you undertake as your chosen work. MARGARET LEE Phoenix Literary Society ; (ieneral Athletic Association Tee hee! It doesn’t take us long to realize that Margaret is entering the room for who else giggles like that? Margaret seems to enjoy life to the utmost as she swings along its paths. Margaret has been a great help to us in “brightening the corner where she is.” We are sure Margaret will meet success wherever she goes. CLARENCE HARPER “Harp” Philomathean Literary Society; Charter Member Lee High l!oys’ Club ’26-’27; Monogram Club ’26-’27; Football ' 26; Assistant Business Manager Leeway ’26-’27 “Harp,” who recently gained the name “Pa,” has been a faithful student at old Lee High. He has been in the midst of everything and has done his best to help put things over. One example of this was in “Rosetime,” the Senior play, where he played his part as “Pa” to perfection. He always has a cheerful word for the other fellow and is never dull, but full of humor and wit. Although he has never been embarrassed with hundreds in his studies, he has always been there on the gridiron, and has fought from start to finish for old Lee High. Wherever “Harp” goes, he goes with the wishes for the best of luck from the Class of ’27. INA LEE MACKEY Philomathean Literary Society; (ieueral Athletic Association; Girl Reserves; Receiver Alumni Short Story Medal ’25; Senior Write-Up Committee “Purpose is what gives life its meaning.” Ina is an all-around girl. She has high ideals and works with them in view instead of working because she has to. Her duties are all performed well and yet she finds a lot o;f time to help others. 1 he faculty all like Ina because she is dependable and whenever we want some¬ body with us, or to lie our friend, wc look for Ina and she never fails us. FRED NELSON HENRY Phoenix Literary Society; General Athletic Association Fred, although he is rather quiet in a crowd, is very talkative in a small group and thus you can easily get acquainted with him. He has always been ready to help when called on to do anything for old Lee High no matter how hard. Fred’s face and short fi gure is often recognized behind the wheel of a car for that is his big hobby, and he likes to stick to it day and night. Fred has been popular with everyone at Lee High because of his willingness to help and his spirit of co-operation. In every way the Class of ’27 wishes Fred good-luck. ANGELLE LORRAINE MARSHALL Philomathean Literary Society; General Athletic Association Angelle is one of the pretty girls of our (pretty?) class and she much im¬ proves our class by her quiet dignity. She is sympathetic and is always ready to help one. She is also a talented musician and we expect her to win many laurels in the realm of music. BARRON RATCLIFFE LEE Philomathean Literary Society; Record Staff ’25-’26; General Athletic Association; Cast—“Rosetime” Barron has worked hard for his sheepskin and lie deserves it. If you want a good, dependable, steady friend we recommend B. R. We hate to lose Barron as a classmate. Fie has chosen civil engineering as his life’s work. We send Barron to V. P. 1. May he he as successful there as he has been at Lee High. Good luck! JOSEPHINE AUGUSTA MARSHALL General Athletic Association; l’hilomathean Literary Society; Cast—“Rosetime” Josephine is about the mo:t dignified member of our class and that is quite a compliment.

The best wishes of the Class go with you Josephine.

Lee High sends its wishes for great success along with “Nat.” TimnminimT THELMA LOUISE MARKLEY Philomathean Literary Society; General Athletic Association; Cast—“Rosetime” In Thelma is embodied the dignity of our dignified (?) class. It isn’t often that she speaks, but when she does, something worthwhile is going to be said. Thelma is everybody’s friend and we wish her good luck in whatever career she may choose. J.

He has been seen in the midst of everything and his opinions have always received great consideration whenever given. “Bonny” is known as the wittiest hoy in our class and usually sticks up to his reputation for wit and humor. His talent for singing has been shown more than once. “Bonny,” although not an athlete, has done as much as anyone else at Lee High to promote school spirit in athletics and has been familiar to everyone as cheer leader for a long¬ time. Wherever “Bonny” goes the Class of ’27 sends with him their heartiest wish for good luck. CATHERINE HOl ' NIHAN McALEER Phoenix Literary Society; General Athletic Association; Cast—“Rosetime” Although quiet and reserved, Katherine is by no means lacking in humor. She has her good times and completes her work while the rest of us are grumbling. Because of her disposition she has won many friends in the Class of ’27, who will never forget her. We should hate to think of our class without her, because of her quiet unassuming way. We know you are very studious, Katherine, and are glad to see you reach the final goal—the sheep-skin. Wherever you may go we know you will always have friends, and your path¬ way will he filled with success. Accept our best wishes. ALDON GLASGOW STOGDALE “Shorty” Parliamentary Critic Phoenix Literary Society ’27; Parliamentary Critic Phoenix Literary Society ’25- ' 2b; Football Team ’25- ' 26; Baseball Team ’25; Basketball Team ’25; Basketball Team ’25-’26; Captain Basketball Team ’27; Monogram Club; Vice-President Monogram Club ’26-’27; Secretary Treasurer Junior Class ' 25-’26; Associate Business Manager of Record ’24-’25, ’25-’26, ’26-’27; Hi-Y Club; Cast— “Microbe of Love”; Cast—“Rosetime” “Shorty” is one of our best all-round athletes. But not only has he made good on the athletic field and in the gym, but he has put effort into his school work with good results. To characterize “Shorty” we must mention determination, modesty, and genial good humor. The class of ’27 is heartily sorry to lose “Shorty” because he is one of the best basketball captains Lee High ever possessed. We feel sure that he will succeed in whatever he undertakes. We wish him good luck! MARGARET MEREDITH MORAN Philomathean Literary Society; General Athletic Association “Peggie,” a quiet and refined member of our class, goes on her way, giving a smile to everyone. She has a winning disposition, and if you were looking for a true and dependable friend you could never find a better one than “Peggie.” She also deserves high praise as a very bright pupil and for putting forth earnest efforts to perform her duties. We realize how valuable she is as a member of the Senior class, and hate very much to lose her. As yet she has not decided what college she will attend, but wherever she may go we feel sure she will be successful. SAMUEL GRAHAM SUTER General Athletic Association Graham is our quietest and most bashful boy. He not only succeeds in his studies but can be counted on to do his bit in all activities. Graham came to us two years ago, and since then his “old Ford” has become a familiar sight around school. We feel sure that such sincerity of purpose on his part will not go unrewarded. CLORINDA ANN PEDUTO General Athletic Association; Literary Society; Cast—“Rosetime” Clorinda has been with us only two years, hut she has lost no time in endearing y herself to us. She does well in her Studies and has always been willing to help us in any school activities. She lias musical talent—plays the piano well and sings well. Since they sing together so well and are such good friends we will have per¬ haps one day another pair of “partners again”—Clorinda and Anne. EDWIN WERNER General Athletic Association; Senior Write-Up Committee “Ed” is our great scientist and no matter what others arc thinking he is always thinking about something concerning science and some day we will not he sur¬ prised to hear that our illustrous scientist is organizing a party ter examine the minerals in Alaska. But not only does “Ed” take a gre at interest in science, but also in the rest of his studies, having done well in all of them, especially Bible. “Ed” as a student of the Class of ’27, has their wishes for a great success wherever he is, and we hope to hear from him. Philonrathean Literary Society; Ceneral Athletic Association; Cast—“Rosetime” Katherine is one of the most popular girls in our high school and if we may add, of other schools also. She is always on the go, getting all possible joy out of life. In “Rosetime” she made a hit as an ideal vamp and she certainly knew how to play the part. Her personality has won for her a place in the hearts of many, especially the opposite sex. Katherine, we shall miss you very much in years to come, but remember the best wishes of the Class of ’27 go with you. MARY SUE ROUDABUSH Philomathean Literary Society; General Athletic Association; Cast—“Rosetime” Mary Sue is one of the best sports in the senior class and is well liked by every¬ one. Her motto is, “Laugh and the world laughs with you.” She is always smiling while the rest of us are grumbling over our difficulties. Being a very studious pupil shows that Mary Sue does not have all fun and no work. Wherever she may go we are certain she will be a success, and we will gladly commend her to anyone as a “steadfast friend.” CATHLEEN SHIFLETT Member (ieneral Athletic Association; Phcehix Literary Society c Cathlcen is quiet, hut that doesn’t mean she doesn’t take an interest in school activities, for she does. She is a conscientious student and is always faithful to her duty. We the Class of ’27, wish her Godspeed on life’s highway. Secretary Girl Reserves; General Athletic Association; Literary Critic I’hilomathean Literary Society ’27; Girls’ llasketball Team; Cast—“Rosetime” Behold the smartest girl in our class! Anne Silling is a human fountain of intelligence. Whenever we have a question about our lessons we go to her. Besides this, she takes a great interest in our school athletics, hating played on the girls basketball team. She has proved to us that she has a good voice and who knows but that one day, instead of teaching, as she now plans, she will he a prima donna of the opera. BEVERLY STODDARD General Athletic Association; Senior Write-Up Committee Beverly has high ideals and aspires to that which is best in life; and whatever that may be we are sure she will come near in attaining it. She is always jolly and full of fun, yet serious when need be. Beverly is a friend to everyone and is constantly doing something for someone else. One of her hobbies is reading. Her life’s work is teaching and social service work.

It is Katharine! She proved to he “quite the thing” as a movie star in “Rosetime.” No doubt very soon when she stars she will rival Belie Daniels in “The Flirt of Class ’27!” No one can be blue when Katharine is near because her bright smile and cheering words always drive away the gloom. As we sent Katharine out into the world we send with her our best wishes for happiness and success. ANNABEL THOMPSON (Jeneral Athletic Association; Philomathean Literary Society; Cast—“Rosetime” Who is this? Oh, just another of our brick-yard blondes. Annabel’s persever- ence and dependability have won the admirat ion of the class. Although she showed us what a good gossip she is we do not believe that Annabel will join that famous sisterhood of back-fence gossippers.” Annabel may leave our class, but she also leaves many kind memories to each of us. KATHARINE GREENWOOD WAYT - “Kap” Secretary and Treasurer I’hilomathean Literary Society, ’27; (ieneral Atltletic Association; Honor¬ ary Member Athletic Association ’22-’23, ’23-’24; (I iris’ Basketball “S” ’21-’22, and Manager; Member Executive Committee Athletic Association; Write-Up of Cirls’ Athletics ’27; Cast—“Flapper Irandmother” ' 26; Cast—“Rosetime” Katharine is the cutest, sweetest, and most attractive girl in our class. So you may readily see from this what she has meant to us. Along with this she is an all-round good sport, always hating a smile for everyone. She is the most popu¬ lar girl in the Senior Class as well as one of its most sociable members. Katharine, we heartily congratulate you on your success in high school, may your future he as successful as your past. FREDERICA WEINBERG Philomathean Literary Society; Central Athletic Association; Cast—“Rosetime”; Senior Vrite-L T p Committee Freda is a valuable asset to the “Senior Class.” She says little, but in her case, we realize that the old saying “A still tongue makes a wise head,” is true. She can always answer correctly and in full the questions some of us cannot answer at all. Nevertheless, along with this “Freda” does not forget her social life, as she also has joyful hours. Freda is a lover of music, and we congratulate her on being able to master it along with her school work. We feel honored in having her as a member of the Class of ’27. NELLIE M. WERNER Phoenix Literary Society; Girl Reserves; General Athletic Association; Senior Write-Up Committee Nellie is a quiet, true friend, dependable and intelligent. She is loyal and stands for the right regardless of opposition. Nellie is dignified, hut underneath there’s the truest friend one could find—the kind that sticks to you—sympathetic when you need sympathy—joking when you feel like being joked with. Good luck, Nellie, in whatever life may hold for you. ELIZABETH WILSON I’hoenix Literary Society; Girl Reserves; General Athletic Association If there is a dependable girl at Lee High School and one who is true as steel, it is Elizabeth. As possessors of her friendship we have a rare gift because there are not many girls like her. It is difficult to find a sweeter temper, a gentler per¬ sonality or a more constant friend. Wc are confident that Elizabeth will win success in life just as she has our love in high school. Sin r u uWrrr ixHxiixrurcn: l� f I Valedictory N THIS, our Graduation Day, our day of tri¬ umph, there is a tinge of sadness mingled with our joy, for we have come to the parting of our paths. For many years (it seems to us) we have been working and struggling together. Now all this is ended. But as each one of us goes on his or her separate way, he will not be forgotten by the rest, but his every act will, I feel sure, be eagerly followed by every member of tire Class of ’27. Although our days of struggling together in high school have ended, our days of real work are just beginning. Greater tasks await some of us in college, all of us in the world. We must, eventually, take our places as citizens of our country and thus as¬ sume far greater responsibilities than those we have known at Lee High. Put surely we shall succeed. The Class of ' 27 can¬ not fail. As we depart from Lee High we would not forget to express our indebtedness and appreciation to our superintendent, our prin¬ cipal, and our excellent faculty. We would especially mention the teachers of the senior class, whose efforts in our behalf during this last session have been unceasing. Their encouragement, sym- pathy, and aid have ever been ours. We shall always remember them and number them among our dearest friends. In closing, let me once again express best wishes for each member of the Class of ’27. —Harry E. Baylor, Jr. Salutatory Annie Silling RIENDS, teachers, patrons, and fellow classmates of the Robert E. Eee High School: I esteem it a very great pleasure and privi¬ lege to welcome you here this evening in behalf of the Class of 1927. We, the members of this class, are especially proud of the fact that we are the first to graduate from our magnificent new g. Only those who are acquainted with what we were compelled to do for over two years can fully appreciate what this new school means to us. And I wish to take this opportunity to thank you, friends and patrons, who have worked so hard to make our dreams and yours a reality. We hope that in the future we may be able to help in the further beautifying of this structure. During the short time we have spent in this new edifice we realize the opportunities it offers for the advancement of education in our city. To the teachers, we are especially grateful for the patience and loyalty they have shown in assisting us to familiarize ourselves with this new building and new routine of study. We hope that our teachers have found in our class students of whom they may be justly proud. Only the members of this class can realize what this night means to us. At last we have reached the goal for which we have been striving. We have traveled along a difficult, yet happy way, and how quickly the time has passed ! Many have fallen from our ranks, but we still have a rather large group, of which we are very proud. We have been privileged to see the reorganization of our literary societies and the spirit of friendly rivalry again renewed. In the few meetings in which we have participated we hope we have performed our duties in the best possible manner and that the dignity of the class has always been upheld. May we see these societies spurred on to greater efforts and the spirit of both friendship and rivalry promoted to a greater extent. As we leave the High School this year, many will go at once to make their mark in the business world, while others will continue their education in some higher institution of learning. And, all of our members, 1 feel certain of it, will make a success of whatever they try to do. I salute you, Class of 1927, and in your behalf greet with the most heartv and sincere welcome, the friends and patrons present here this evening. YE.

Wilson, H. • Goodloe, M. Roby Social Events of Lee High 1926-27 UR entry into the new Robert E. Lee High School was followed by many social events, some of which are worth hearing about. On Tuesday, January 18th, the senior class were guests of the Rotary Club at their regular weekly luncheon, which was held in the High School Gym. This luncheon was greatly en¬ joyed by all the seniors, and they had a chance to become per¬ sonally acquainted with many of our leading citizens. After the luncheon the seniors deemed it a great privilege, and were quite proud to show their hosts over the new building. The following day, January 19th, formal dedication exercises of the new Robert E. Lee High School were held. This day seemed most appropriate for it, also celebrated the birthday of our Southern Hero, born one hundred and twenty years ago—General Robert E. Lee. The principal speakers for this occasion were Dr. A. M. Dobie, professor of law at the University of Virginia; Harris Hart, superintendent of public instruction of Virginia ; Colonel S. Brown Allen, Com¬ mander of the Stonewall Jackson Camp of Confederate Veterans; Colonel Thos. Roller, of A. M. A., and Colonel Thos. H. Russell, of S. M. A. After the exer¬ cises the pupils of the school showed, with a great deal of pleasure, to those pres¬ ent, the school which had just been dedicated. SENIORS’ PLAY REGISTERS A HIT AT THE BEVERLEY A beautiful old fashioned garden and the cottage of Ma and Pa Perkins cov¬ ered with roses, formed the setting for the three-act musical comedy, which was presented at the Beverley Theatre last night under the auspices of the senior class of the Robert E. Lee High School. The Hi-Art Film Company’s members wander into the garden and in the taking of a few pictures, come in contact with Rose Perkins, played by Miss Katherine Stephens, who is a movie fan, and just crazy to get into pictures. She is so pretty and clever that the manager persuades her to join his company, and she leaves with them for Hollywood, in spite of the protest of her lover, Jerry Hunter, played by Mr. John Butler. After she has spent a year in the movies, Jerry goes in search of Rose and easily persuades her to return with him, and they go back to the old home and the old fashioned garden, where a wonderful welcome awaits them, and where they are married. The characters of Pa and Ma Perkins were well taken by Mr. Clarence Harper and Miss Elorine Collins. In the role of the vamp, Miss Katherine Roller was excellent, and the song, “Pm a Vamp,” with the chorus, was cleverlv sung and acted. The duet between Rose and Jerry, “As Long as You Love Me and I Love You,” made a pretty picture. Babe Burnette, the flapper, was well played by Miss Augusta Harmon. “Props” O’Reilly was very keen in repartee, and amused the audience throughout the evening, the part being well done by Mr. Bernard Spector. J. Dillingham Jones, the villain and director, was well acted bv Mr. James Cerantonio, and Percy Peabody, a typical dude, acted by Mr. Charles Blackley. Mr. Maxwell Goodloe, as Squint Smith, made a good camera-man. Misses Anna¬ bel Thompson, Josephine Marshall, and Ina Mackey were also in the cast. In the opening of the second act, the Style Show was well worth seeing. Costumes furnished by the Palais Royal were very smart, and suitable for all oc¬ casion, from the sports dress of the morning to the elegant evening gown and wraps and riding habit. The duet between Rose and Jerry in the second act, “Love’s Garden Fair,” was beautifully sung. Between the first and second act the Smith Brothers sang several songs. The quartet was composed of Messrs. Howard Grim, Beverley Shultz, George Ear- man, and Marvin Armstrong. Their songs were: “Sunday,” “Hugs and Kisses,” “Susie’s Beau,” and Me Too.” In the final scene, the chorus, which acted as an excellent background for the entire play, sang “Just a Song at Twilight,” and “An Old-fashioned Garden,” with great effect. To Miss Edna Yost, the director, much credit is due for a most excellent and successful entertainment The Hi-Y Club held their annual athletic night in the auditorium of the Y. M. C. A. December 10th. It was on this occasion that Francis Lineweaver was awarded the gold football presented by Mr. Edwin Runnels, Jr., to the man who had done the most for his team. Marshall Baylor was also elected captain of the team of 1927, and the football men received their letters, which were presented bv Coach Young. After the banquet, which was largely attended by the students of Lee Hi., the football squad, and members of the Hi-Y Club, and the young ladies who had been their guests were entertained at a small dance given by one of the members of the senior class. Faculty Night and Girls’ Night have also been observed by the Hi-Y Club. These nights were looked forward to and greatly enjoyed by all those who attended. A very enjoyable dance was held Saturday night, February 1st, in the school gym, sponsored by the Senior Class. The leaders were Mr. John Butler with Miss Katherine Roller, assisted by Mr. Marvin Armstrong and Miss Katharine Wavt. The A. M. A. cadet orchestra furnished delightful music for this occasion. Other school dances are being looked forward to with pleasure. Five new clubs have been organized during the 1926-1927 session. The Monogram Club, with Maxwell Goodloe, president; the Cotillion Club, with John Butler, president; the Boys’ Club, with Marvin Armstrong, president; the Girls’ Reserves with Frances Blakemore, president, and the Freshman Club, with Alton 1 )uncan, president. In addition to the above events, numerous candy and cake sales have been held by the various classes, in order to meet the usual class expenses. It is quite evident the school activities and social events have been more numerous this year than in former years. Both school spirit and progress have been shown, due largely to these activities. Don’t neglect your work, students, but keep the activities going; they cer¬ tainly help. Social Activities at Lee High As Seen by a Parent A dance that ends at two o’clock And interrupts my rest, Because the kid comes stamping in When snores are sounding best. A tea or other foolish thing, Planned by some thoughtless dub, That costs me quite a goodly sum In cakes and other grub. A dollar here, a quarter there— Gee, don’t the money fly?— A boy or girl today requires A fortune to get by. They dine upon the lowly bean Each week without a scowl, But if their mother fed them so, They’d make a mighty howl. And yet, T must confess, when T Look all their follies through, I see the things my youth performed Or vainly wished to do.

J. YOUNG OACH YOUNG came to us in the fall of 1925 with a reputation that anyone would envy. His Alma Mater is William and Mary, where he was rated as one of the best football men in the South, and he was prominent in other branches of athletics as well. He started out in 1925 with green material and undertook to develop a football team. One look at the record of that team will show how successful he really was, because they only lost one game out of seven starts. In basketball the team was more successful than the teams had been for the past few years, winning the Valley Championship by a large margin. In baseball the Lee team was not successful, having a very poor season, but its failure cannot be laid at the feet of Coach Young. He worked day after day trying to arouse in¬ terest and spirit in the players, but was not successful. Never has a Coach tried harder and been more inspiring than he was during the season of 1926, but the players failed to respond, and as a result the season was a failure. Beginning this year with only part of a football team left, he developed some of the best football men that have worn the Blue and White for a long time, and they promise great things for next year. The basketball team of 1927 was very successful, defeating teams that were victorious over Lee in 1926, and reflecting the true spirit with which Coach had inspired them. We are unable to forecast the success of this year’s baseball team, but if it plays as it did the first game, it will reflect still more credit upon the ability of T. J. Young as a coach. Not only in athletics has he been successful, but also with his physical educa¬ tion in the High School and the other public schools. He is well liked by every¬ one, and although he may not realize it, some of his players would do anything possible for him. As a man he is as fine and upright as one can find, a worthy example for students. He is leaving us this year, and it is with sorrow that we see him go, because he has placed athletics in the High School on a higher plane than ever before. He always championed clean and straightforward playing, and drilled this into his teams. We heartily congratulate the school that secures his services and gets the benefit of his advice and his athletic and coaching ability. He goes to a better position, one which he deserves, and with regret we bid good-bye to the best coach and finest all-round man in our history. Football Squad Football Resume E CANNOT, in all fairness, claim our season a success, because we won only one game out of six. This year ' s team was green and although at times it showed real strength, it did not have the experience and the spirit to make it a success. We do not mean that Lee High’s varsity did not have fight, because it fought hard and to the finish in every game. Against every was outweighed and in some cases outplayed, but we can say that we deserved to win at least one of the games lost. This year’s team showed some of the best natural talent ever displayed on local gridirons, and we can assure you that the 1927 season will be a howling success. Lee High opened the season with a smashing victory over the heavy Buena Vista team, which clearly showed lack of training. The entire squad took part in this game, and some of the new men gave promise of becoming valuable players. The second game of the season was lost to the strong Fishburne team by a 20 to 0 score. We are proud to say that Fishburne was unable to score an earned touchdown, blocked kicks causing the downfall of the Lee team. Beginning with the Charlottesville game the next Saturday, Lee went into a slump, losing all the remaining games. Charlottesville’s fast and heavy team walked away with the game 39 to 0, and Lee lost some of her best men due to the injuries. On October 23rd Lee lost to Handley High in Winchester by a 34 to 0 score. In this game the Blue and White team was outweighed twenty pounds a man. V. S. D. B. was the next team to defeat Lee, this time the score was 20 to 0. In this game and the game with Handley, six of the Lee team were ineligible due to studies. In the final game of the year Lee lost to their traditional rivals, the “Blue Streaks,” of Harrisonburg, 7 to 0 in one of the most exciting games ever played in Staunton. Harrisonburg’s victory was only assured when the final whistle sounded, thereby closing the football season of 1927 for Lee High. Letters were awarded to eleven men on the varsity at the annual Hi-Y Ath¬ letic Night, the final event of the football year at Lee High School. Coach Young awarded monograms to Armstrong, captain and fullback ; Baylor, captain-elect and guard ; Lineweaver, l 7 ., center; Butler, tackle ; Brown, tackle ; Harper, guard ; Goodloe and Stogdale, ends; Moore, halfback; Lineweaver, R., halfback; and Brad ford, quarterback. Baylor, captain-elect, is the ideal man to lead the team of 1927, and we con¬ gratulate him. MARVIN ARMSTRONG CAPTAIN AND FULLBACK “Bill” is known up and down the Shenan¬ doah Valley, and, in fact, all over this part of Virginia, as a hard-driving, fast, and brainy fullback, and we assure you, fair readers, that his is an enviable reputation. For two succes¬ sive years he has been a member of the mythi¬ cal All-Valley team, and this alone proves that “Bill” is some football player. Here at Lee High, however, he is noted for more than that. “Bill,” we think, is one of the best captains ever to lead a Blue and White team to victory. MARSHALL BAYLOR CAPTAIN-ELECT AND CUARD “Bill” is the iron man of the Lee High var¬ sity; he never went out of the game on ac¬ count of injuries, although at times he was hardly able to carry on, but on account of his indomitable courage he stuck it out and brought fame to Lee High and glory to him¬ self by his great work in the line, well deserv¬ ing the honor confered on him by the members of the team. “Bill” never gave up, even though the odds were overwhelmingly against him, and his fighting spirit strengthened the team many times. His cool-headedness and quick thinking, as well as his fair play, lead us to believe he will be a great captain. FRANCIS LINEWEAVER CENTER “F’ats” is another football player whose fame has spread all over the state and whose name causes much uneasiness when mentioned to teams about to oppose the gridiron warriors of Lee. As a center “Fats” is unexcelled, and the Lee backfield never worries how the hall is coming hack to them. “Fats” has never been guilty of a bad pass, and this is a record every aspirant for his position will have to better. He will be a big factor in the team of ' 21. JOHN BUTLER TACKLE John turned out to be in this, his second year on the varsity, one of the best line men Lee has ever had. There was never danger of any team gaining over the right side of the line if it was humanly possible to stop them. This kind of work must have just suited John, lie- cause he was always on the job, fighting to the finish and displaying the old “Lee High Fight” in a way that was an inspiration to everyone on the Lee varsity. We are sorry to see him leave us this year. ALDON STOGDALE END “Shorty” played this year as an end, al¬ though he was one of the best backs Lee had. Speed was desired on Lee’s left Hanks, and therefore “Shorty” got the job. Our list of football heroes would not be complete without the addition of this illustrious name, “because “Shorty” is one of the greatest defensive play¬ ers ever to wear the Blue and White, and that in itself is a great honor. We bid him a fond farewell. ROBERT L1NEWEAVER HALFBACK “Bobby,” playing his second year on the var¬ sity, proved himself invaluable as a defensive man and as a reliable ball carrier. We can re¬ call time after time that “Bobby” saved a cer¬ tain touchdown by one of bis famous flying tackles which seldom ever failed to bring the man down. Then, if there was an extra yard counted on to take the ball over. We feel cer¬ tain he will be a most valuable man next year. MAXWELL GOO I )LOE END “Max” is another end whose value to the team of ’26 can be appreciated only after he has left us. Looking back over the games played this season we recollect the innumer¬ able times that “Max” prevented intended end runs from being successful. He is one of those players who can always be depended on, and one of those who rise to their greatest heights when their team is losing. “Max” was always in the game, always scrapping, no matter how great the odds. KENNETH BRADFORD QUARTERBACK Although “Joe” was light, he showed fight that carried him through every game. Not only was he the fastest man on the team, but he also had one of the best football heads among the backs. “Joe” was also a remarkable defensive player and was exceedingly good at breaking up passes. We consider ourselves fortunate in having him back next year. BERNARD BROWN TACKLE “Bat,” as lie is called, judging from liis per¬ formances on the gridiron during the past sea¬ son, bids fair to carry the name of Brown to even greater heights than those to which it has been carried by his brother, another great foot¬ ball player. This is “Bat’s” first year on the varsity, hut he played with all the spirit, head- work, and coolness of a veteran. His fame, even in the space of one short season, spread to distant parts, and we look for him tO cop a place on the mythical “All-State Team” next season. BILLY MOORE HALKISACK “Bill” is the only freshman on this year’s varsity, and that in itself is a great honor and one which he won only through hard fighting and a constant display of that “Lee High Light. “Bill,” although new to competitive athletics, showed a courage and ability which put to shame some of the veterans on the var¬ sity. We know he will make good in ' 27. CLARENCE HARPER (iUAKI) This is “Harp’s” first year on the varsity, and he made good, proving himself a guard worthy of praise at all times, and one with a fighting spirit that would never say die. “Harp” has been out for the team for several years, hut due to studies or some other cause, has never been able to gain a varsity berth, al¬ though his experience gained in these years was a great help in steadying the team at criti¬ cal moments. HOWARD GRIM MAN ACER “H. P.,” as lie is called here at Lee High, is the business genius and the managerial c .ar of the school. When he is elected manager everyone, including the coach, breathes a sigh of relief because we all know that everything will run smoothly and that the team will play under the best conditions possible. “Id. P.” is always on the job rendering quick and effici¬ ent service wherever it is needed. He is in¬ valuable when it comes to putting new life into a dispirited team, and those who have listened to his inspiring speeches well recognize the fact. The Managers IIS year we have been more than fortu¬ nate in having three such capable man¬ agers as Howard Grim, Francis Line- weaver, and Dorrance Graham. In football Grim proved himself a man of remarkable ability as a manager, always to tend the aids of his team. When on trips, Howard’s first thought was to provide the necessities of his team. During home games Grim proved himself a great asset to the coach in helping provide the needs for the visitors. During basketball season we had the good fortune of having as a manager Francis Lineweaver, who proved an excellent man. Francis aided much in arranging such a good and competent schedule. As a whole, he made as good a manager as the school could ask for. Dorrance Graham, manager of baseball, we say without fear of contradiction made the best manager this sport has had for a number of years. Dorrance put his whole heart in the team and did everything he could for it. In conclusion we say that as a whole the managers this year have been out of the ordinary, and we hope those for the following year will be just as good. alert and willing Aldon Stomiiale Captain fill 11 u i un rm i m in i ii ij nnnn] i inzmrnI rrnThTJJ}, 1 1 iTrriT frrrrrnT Basketball Team Basketball Resume HE Lee High basketball team of 1927 started the season auspiciously by defeating Wilson Hi., conqueror of Lee in 1926, in a close game, 16 to 11. This first game showed that the Lee team was vet inexperienced and needed seasoning, but the strength was there. Next, Lee took on the quint from A. M. A. and was defeated 38 to 29. The team, in this game, showed much improvement over the first encounter. The third team to be played by the Blue and White aggregation was Vinton Hi., from Roanoke, a strong, fast team, and one which Lee was able to overcome only with the greatest difficulty. The game was very fast and exciting, finally ending 26 to 25 in favor of Lee. On January 19th, the Lee team journeyed to Har¬ risonburg, and in what may be termed a practice game, over¬ whelmed the “Blue Streaks” by a 29 to 3 score. All the reserves took part in this game. Beginning with the game with Lishburne on the following Wednesday, which Lee lost 26 to 8, the Blue and White team went into a slump lasting about three weeks, and during this time lost to Bridgewater, Charlottesville, and V. S. D. B. Then the tide turned and Lee defeated Randolph-Macon 28 to 8, Charlottesville 25 to 24, Bridgewater 28 to 26, and Stuarts Draft 42 to 15. During the last three weeks of the season Lee lost only to Lexington High by a two-point margin. The Lee team took part in the South Atlantic Tournament, and was elimi¬ nated in the second round by Western High, of Washington. This year’s team was a green one and did not get into proper form until late in the season. We lose only two men, Captain Stogdale and Armstrong, and with the new material coming in Lee should have one of her greatest teams next year. The season closed when Coach Young awarded the coveted monogram. The men receiving letters were: Captain Stogdale, Armstrong, and Hall, guards; Lineweaver, R., and Lineweaver, L., centers, and Stover and Bradford, forwards. Lrancis Lineweaver was elected to captain in the 1928 varsity. ALDON STOGDALE CAPTAIN AND GUARD “Shorty” was the premier performer on Lee High’s basketball team this year. In every game he was the shining light, and his playing against Western High School, of Washington, in the South Atlantic Tournament at Wash¬ ington and Lee excited much favorable com¬ ment, which proves that “Shorty” is some bas¬ ketball player. In addition to his playing ability, “Shorty” was an ideal captain, always in the game, and never discouraged. He al¬ ways has the “Lee High Fight,” which has carried the Blue and White to victory in nu¬ merous occasions this year. FRANCIS LINEWEAVER CENTER “Fats,” besides being a great football player, is as great a basketball man. He has been on the team three years, but this is his first year at center, although his playing of that position reminds you of a veteran of at least several years ’experience. He is fast, heady, and a dead-shot, idling up an individual score second only to that of “Louie” Stover. On the de¬ fense, “Fats” can al yays he counted on to take care of his man, and he has won many a game by his fine defensive as well as offensive play. ELWOOI) STOVER KORWA RD “Louie,” as he is called at Lee High, is one of the flashiest and most spectacular players ever to wear the Blue and W hite and, in addi¬ tion to this, when he takes a shot the ball usually strips the net. His flashiness in no way affected his part in making the team-work as near perfect as was possible. He always made the most difficult and most seemingly impos¬ sible shots seem easy, so near perfect was his form ; and this explains why his individual point score was far above that of any other player. ROBERT LINEWEAVER CENTER ' Ehis is “Bobby’s” first year on the basketball team, but during the season he has proved to us that his athletic ability extends to basketball as well as football. He is the tallest man on the squad, and this made him an exceedingly capable center. Bobby passes well, is fast, and can get almost any other center’s jump. These characteristics, combined with his shooting- ability, shows us that “Bobby” is a fine ball player. II 111 fl II11 II IT 1 CHARLES HALL GUARD “Sas” was not aMe to start out the season with the rest of the team on account of illness which kept him from school until the schedule had been half-way completed. When he re¬ turned everyone knew it, because he is the kind of player which cannot be kept in the background, and he showed up in every game as a guard of no mean ability. “Sas” is fast, and as a standing guard he is a wizard. He is the best man on the team when it comes to handling the ball, and no team this year was able to stop him often when he attempted to dribble through. KENNETH BRADFORD FORWARD Again “Joe” played in the limelight. On the court he proved to be a wizard. Accurate pass¬ ing, keen shooting, excellent guarding, and good floor work are the best standing traits of Bradford’s basketball playing. He will prove a big factor in next year’s quint. MARVIN ARMSTRONG GUARD We regret very much that there is no more space to devote to this illustrious athlete, be¬ cause “Bill’’ deserves everything good one may say about him in regard to basketball. “Bill” is considered by the followers of the Blue and White team to be the best defensive player we have, and that is something to he proud of Whenever a man breaks away and starts down the floor no one is ever very much concerned as long as “Bill” is the standing guard. We wish him luck wherever he goes next year. inniiiiiiiiHHUimniM] m-r-rrrri 1 1I I 11111111 i ITEnD mr mmr n u riiiuiLLO] mircrm Joseph K.

The spirit with which the team plays does the hearts of last year’s faithful followers good, and there is a dash about the men that bodes ill for their opponents. The men composing the team this year are, as a whole, faster than last year’s varsity, they held better and faster, and they hit better. All these, when the season is well under way, and if none are ranked as ineligibles due to studies, should cause the Lee team to be a success at the end of the season. So far this year, seven games have been rained out, and this is one of the causes of the team rounding into shape so slowly. I f good weather prevails and the team is enabled to work out consistently, we expect great things from it. Shultz and Roby are the most promising of the large pitching staff, reporting daily, and will get the important assignments with Lineweaver, F., to fill in. If the athletic staff may judge, the pitchers have improved greatly since last season and have a year’s experience behind them in addition. Captain Bradford is playing his old position at second base, as is Lineweaver, F., at third, and Waide at first. The new man is Long, who strengthens the team immensely. Huff, the best catcher Lee has had in five years, is doing the receiving, ably seconded by Moore. In the outfield, Goodloe, Armstrong, Brown, J., and the two Wilsons, Hal and Sam, are fighting for the three positions. As a reserve infielder, Lee has Ayres, shortstop on last year’s varsity, and “Bat” Brown, a truly great first sacker. The hitting honors are divided so far among Brown, Wilson, Goodloe, Huff, and Lineweaver, who are connecting for safe hits with surprising regularity. This year’s infield, with a little more practice, will be working perfectly, and Lee has the best fielding outfield in years. With good pitching and hitting and under ordinary conditions, Lee’s varsity will come through and be a credit to the school.

The co-ed gazed at the college boy And the hose draped round his heel, “My dear,” she cried, “if you haven’t it, At least you’ve sox appeal.” I am a twin. My brother and 1 look so much alike that no one can tell us apart—but I can. When my brother misses his lessons, the teacher keeps me after school. She doesn’t know the difference—but 1 do. My mother gave my brother candy and sent him to get me ; he came back and got my piece. She didn’t know the difference—but I did. Last Sunday, 1 was engaged to marry my girl at the church. My brother arrived first and he married my girl. She didn’t know the difference—but I did. But yesterday, I got it all back on my brother. I died and they buried him. Miss Bell: Why do they collect a duty on imported articles? Earman : It’s just a custom. The idea of three out of four advertisements is what a whale of a difference a few cents make. “They say brunettes have a sweeter disposition than blondes.” “Well, my wife’s been both and can’t notice any difference.” Johnny was unusually gleeful at breakfast. I’ve done my good turn for today,” he said. “What, already?” inquired his father. “Yes, 1 was at the gate and heard Mr. and Mrs. Brown say they were doubt¬ ful whether they could catch the 8:15, so J set the bulldog after them and they arrived in time.” Hook : Fats, I hear you are in a perfect geometry class. Fat : Yes, everybody flunked ; perfect, huh? Green Freshmen, Sophisticated Sophomores, Silly Juniors, and Dignified Seniors all enter school through the same door and exit through the same window. Nat has a date every afternoon and night and every morning that he doesn’t oversleep. The modern girl may not be up on punctuation or spelling, but she sure knows her abbreviations. Blackley: How many cigarettes does Harper smoke a day? Armstrong: Any given number. i Red Sublett has a rising job. He’s a Fleishmann yeast salesman. Grim (entering barber shop) : When will I be able to get a shave? Barber: Oh, in about three years. There is not much starch in A1 Smith. He’s all wet. Hevener (passing colored church) : What’s going on here? Hook : The Philomatheans are having a meeting. QUITE p:asy A young man had been trying his wit on his fellow passengers in the train, and they were getting tired of it. When an old man in the corner spoke up they listened with interest. “Here, young man,” said he, “two persons were walking down the street. One was tall, and the other short. The tall one was the short one’s son, but the short one was not the tall one’s father.” “That’s impossible,” said the young man after puzzling a while. “No, it’s a fact,” said the older man. “What relation then was the short one to him?” “His mother.” She: The new styles for women will soon be out. He: I’m wondering what they will take off next. The following was heard in the leafy darkness of a wooded slope above the promenade : “1 thought you were going to kiss me when you puckered up your lips just now.” “No—er—that is—it was only a piece of grit in my mouth.” ‘‘Then for goodness sake swallow it—you need it.” They’re planning to make Harrisonburg as attractive to the eye at night as in the day time. Why not turn out all the lights? Freddie: This weather is terribly cold ; I don’t know how to dress for it. Dumb Dora: Why don’t you buy one of those two pants suits I ' ve seen ad¬ vertised ? He: I’m a strictly fresh egg, 1 am. She: I’ll say so. You’re entirely too fresh. Moore: Why have women no Adam’s apple? Nicholas: Because Eve only bit the apple and gave it to Adam.

A DRAMA IN ONE ACT “One on the Faculty” A YOUNG man is taking an old lady ANDERSON to a BALL game. On the way they crossed BRIDGES. Eddie COLLINS is playing-second base. While batting lie STOKES a foul ball soaring like an EAKLE into the bleachers, strik¬ ing the old lady with a CLICK, knocking the FETTEROLF her hat and giving her a PAYNE in the neck. They rush to a doctor and ring the BELL. He pro¬ nounces it a case of SHELBURNE and she pays the fee with heROANE money. “I hope you’re not afraid of microbes,” said the paying teller as he cashed the school teacher’s check with soiled bills. “Don’t worry,” said the young lady, “a microbe couldn’t live on a teacher’s salary.” Towberman (looking over at the poor house) : “Have they a parlor over there ? Frances Radcliffe: Why, do you want to go over and visit Willie? Teacher : Name a very popular general. Bright One: General Holiday. Fats: A cat has nine lives. How many has a dog? Butler : Ca-nine. We think the street car should be given the right-of-way on Main street as soon as they get one. The courage of “Hooligan” Holton. “Did he get on his knees when he made love to you, Jo?” “Don’t be foolish, Flo. How could a man get on his knees—especially when I’m sitting on them all the time?” If you meet Miss Anderson on the Jefferson Highway, she’s headed for Charlottesville and-. “She says she already has her new spring hat, a wonderful flower design.” “Yes, I saw it. One of the kind that bloomed last year.” “What’s that little animal you just killed—a mouse?” asked the city visitor to the farm. “No—that was a mole,” replied the farmer. “Great heavens. And my wife wanted a coat made out of one of those things.” He had just stolen a hurried kiss. “Don’t you know any better than that?” she demanded indignantly. “Sure,” he replied. “But they take more time.” If you happen to see Mr. Bridges wandering around on West Beverley street, he’s on his way to a heavy date.

An Appreciation T O the advertisers, who have made possible the publication of this volume, we ex¬ tend our sincere appreciation. No merchants anywhere are more liberal in their patronage of School publications, than are the merchants of this section. This shows their interest in us in a very real manner, and we should reciprocate by buying at home. We, too, are students You would hardly think it, hut we are. No cap and gown do we wear, hut rather a fresh white apron. But we study—oh, so hard—to find the sort of meal our hundreds of patrons like hest. We study appetites of the individuals who dine here. Each has his liohhy; it’s our hohhy to see that each gets his hohhy. —We Make a Specialty of School Banquets — CHRIS’ RESTAURANT Six South New Street Staunton Virginia OLDEST BIGGEST SAFEST BEST OTnoiuuariia CLEANING AND DYEING WORKS Main Office and Plant 134, 136, 138 East Main Street PHONE—9 2 9 STAUNTON, VA.
