THE Final Number 1929 Volume XVI Number V STAUNTON PUBLIC LIBRARY Published by the Senior Class of Robert E. Lee High School STAUNTON, VIRGINIA Waynesboro Public Library 600 South Wayne Ave, Waynesboro, VA 22980 Dedication The class of nineteen hundred and twenty-nine respectfully dedicates this, the final issue of THE RECORD, to one who has ever proved a true friend and adviser of both students and faculty; to one who commands the respeCt and friendship of each £tudentof the Robert E. Lee High School, Mr. L. F. SHELBURNE Mr. L. F. Shelburne Superintendent of City Schools Foreword R the past several years, it has been the custom for the graduating class to publish an annual, The Leeway. However, due to certain conditions over which they had little control, the graduates of the class of 1929 have been unable to publish an annual this year. The honor and duty of depicting the activities of the school for the paSt year have been granted to the Staff of THE RECORD,” the bimonthly magazine of Robert E. Lee High School. Therefore, in this enlarged and some¬ what elaborate final edition, we have striven to carry out this duty creditably, and we trust that you will find it both instructive and entertaining.

' For four long years this ship has sailed And stronger has it grown each year. To us who sailed on its fair deck, Each day has made it seem more dear. Billows have tossed our little ship, It has passed through storm and flood : Each member like a sailor true To his own post has stood. Through uncharted seas our course has run. The shoals before us oft loomed high ; But with the advice of our good friends We’ve passed secure and safely by. The journey has been long and hard. But, oh, the joys deep and true! For the flag it has proudly flown Before the colors—White and Blue. The harbor now lies fair before us, As tired sailors we anchor here, Our course, though ended, will remain In memory forever dear. And now the sailors are parting To begin life’s journey long; The sea they will sail is hard and rough, But their hearts are brave and strong. To our Alma Mater now we pledge A life of loyalty and truth ; And wherever we go, we’ll ne’er forget Our Lee High, dear home of youth.

CHARLES WINSTON SUTER Philomathean Literary Society; Parliamentary Critic, ’29; Cast, “Kathleen.” “A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds.” Here is our class grouch, a title bestowed, we feel, somewhat erroneously, for W inston seems to he very jovial at times.

CHARLOTTE STEDMAN HARPER Philomathean Literary Society; Reporter, ’28. “But to see her teas to love her.” Love but her, and love forever.” Rather quiet and reserved, Charlotte is never¬ theless liked by all.

PAULINE ELLEN PARRISH Philomathean Literary Society; Chorus, “Kathleen.” “Deep brown eyes, running over with glee.” Pauline is rather quiet, but when she does speak out, what she says is sure to be worth¬ while.

V aledidlory Charlotte Taylor ODAY we have reached our long dreamed-of and eagerly desired goal; we have come to the parting of the ways. It is with conflicting emotions that we stand here at the crossroads of life. 1 he joy and triumph of victory is mingled with the sadness of parting. As we look backward upon the joys and sorrows, the struggles and triumphs of our high school days, we realize more and more what these years of training have meant to us. The lasting friendships and associa¬ tions which we have made here have helped to advance us along our highway to success. To the teachers we owe more than we can express. They have been our guides over the rough places and their patience and devotion have brought us to this great mile-post on the highway of life. As we look forward into the unknown vistas of the future, we foresee many new hard¬ ships and obstacles. In facing these, we must uphold the high ideals and noble principles we have learned here at Lee High. Now we have come to the cross-roads, to the time when each one of us must choose which way he will go. In choosing, let us take the road, not because it is easy, but because, it is one in which we can do our best, and at the end of which lie honor and success. At times our progress may he slow and hard. Sometimes we may sink into mires of hopelessness and discontent. And often as we travel along the same dull level, it may seem that we will never advance. But finally we shall come to the hill-tops where all lies bright and clear before us. And in the joy of achievement we shall forget the trials we have suffered along the way. On the broad highway of life there will he many temptations to go astray, to devote ourselves to ple asure and selfish interests. But we must remember that the same ideals, the same characteristics which have brought us safely through high school are those to which we must cling as we enter the new highway of life. We must lie loyal to our friends, loyal to our convictions, ready to help others. Only through loyalty and co-operation can we enjoy the fellowship of the finest and best people with whom we shall meet and travel on the road of life. It will take courage, true and noble, to face the obstacles and bear the burdens of our journey. Let us be resolved to face life squarely with the kind of courage that will never give up. Honor is one of the sublimest words in our language. We have learned here at school how essential it is to success—hut how much more we shall realize it in the great tests of life. And now, classmates, we must say “goodbye.” But wherever our way leads us, we can never forget our years here together. Let us part, resolved to face life squarely, to find and give the best. And let us remember—- “To every man there openeth A way, and ways, and a way, And the High Soul climbs the High way, And the Low Soul gropes the Low, And in between on the misty fiats The rest drift to anti fro. But to every man there openeth A High way and a Low, And every man decideth The way his soul shall go.” Salutatory Hudson Haines RIENDS, teachers, and fellow students of Robert E. Lee High School, I esteem it a great honor to have the pleasure of wel¬ coming you here this evening. We are, indeed, happy in having you as our guests to enjoy with us the opening exercises of our graduation, our much desired and hard-earned goal. I say hard-earned goal, for our high school years have meant much hard work for us, yet at the same time, they have brought us much pleas¬ ure. It is, indeed, with sadness that we think of severing our connections with our beloved school. We have made strong friendships here which will, no doubt, last throughout the years to come, and link us with ever-strengthening bonds of memory to our school. Teachers, as we take our leave of you, we shall ever be mindful of the help¬ ful and encouraging advice which you have given us during our high school days. This is one of the most critical periods of our lives, for we must decide whether we shall continue our education in higher institutions of learing, or whether we shall, at once, enter the field of business, and further our education through actual experience. But, whatever the decision, let us establish for ourselves repu¬ tations worthy of our high school preparation. Although many believe that a college education is essential in the training of a young person for his life’s work, many of the world’s greatest men both of today and yesterday, started out in the world with but a high school education. However, I sincerely hope that every member of the class of ’29 will be able to continue his training along the lines of higher education. Regardless, however, of what future he has planned, I feel certain that, deep within the recesses of his heart, each graduate of the Class of 1929 has resolved to make a place for himself in the world, worthy of those who have had a part in his training. And may he, in the sunset days of his career, be able to feel as proud of his accomplishments in life as he is of his accomplishments here to¬ night. I feel quite sure that no matter what the future holds for us, we shall in later years ever cherish pleasant memories of our beloved school. Class of 1929, I salute you, and on your behalf extend to our friends a hearty welcome. The La£t Will and Testament of the Class of ’29 E, THE Senior class of the Robert E.

Class Prophecy LASS MATES :—We have a great treat in store for you, the un¬ canny but true experiences of the world-famous baritone solo¬ ist, Mr. Charles Benjamin Moseley. After his speech he will favor us with several selections. Station B-R-A-Y, Baltimore, Mel., broadcasts these personal speeches of famous musicians every night at seven-forty—Mr. Moseley. Dear Old Schoolmates:—As I stand here in the broadcasting station tonight 1 seem to see you as we were at graduation, ten years ago at Lee High School. Because 1 know you are all listening in on my talk tonight, I am going to tell you of a strange experience of mine. Two months ago, my naturally weak ear became seriously infected and 1 found it necessary to go to the St. Lenias Hospital, in this city, where 1 could be under the excellent care of my old friend, Dr. Bernard Payne, the ear specialist. I was greatly surprised to learn that my appetizing meals were planned by Miss Mary McAleer, dietician. It became necessary for me to undergo an operation, and the nurse who administered the ether was none other than Miss Bessie Gochenour. Another old pal, Percy Loth Roby, was in the hospital for his ninth opera¬ tion, which we all hope will be his last. After the suffocating effect of the ether had abated and 1 lapsed into uncon¬ sciousness, 1 found myself walking down the streets of a lazy Florida city, past the beautiful Spanish hacienda of Miss Audrey Bowman, the celebrated poetess, who still wears her burnished crown of glory. In the same city, on the beach, 1 found Miss Griscelda Arnold, in her bathing suit, teaching a healthy group of campfire girls some very amusing stunts. Miss Margaret Parker was at the head of a spacious and elaborate beauty salon, where her skill and knowledge are combined in recreating lovely faces in true “fountain of youth” manner. Sharp, shooting pains obliterated everything for a time, then I found myself by the side of the majestic Wilson Irrigation Dam. In a handsome sport roadster nearby, Mr. Jack Doswell, civil engineer and builder of the dam, was recalling by-gone days with Miss Catherine Olivier and her husband, Dean Darnell, well known movie actor. I, then, had a sensation as though I were flying through space, and I almost bumped into an indignant airplane propelled by Miss Charlotte Harper. I soon came to earth again and found myself in the land of Egypt. There on the burning sands 1 discovered Professor William Hamilton and Professor Sarah George Harris, doing dangerous and valuable research work among the sand caves. In Southern Africa, on a dazzling white horse, surrounded by eager black faces, Miss Louise Shifiett, now the Rev. Mrs. Dr. Sangleton, was telling Bible stories. A sudden short lapse into darkness and 1 found myself among the ruins of the Colosseum, where Mr. Winston Suter was eagerly studying Roman sculpture, On one of the seven hills Pauline Parrish sat, sketching the ruins of a mag¬ nificent old building. Speeding once again on my cloud, I wondered if every member of our class had achieved fame and honor, and, as if in answer to my thought, my cloud paused and softly dropped to the rail of a steamer, on the deck of which Miss Palston, once Mary McCue, and her charming sister, Sarah, were “just traveling.” A little farther east, and T saw the green turf of Hollywood, where Frances Brown’s assurate swings were winning her honors in tennis. In the same city, tucked away in a lovely bungalow was Miss Margie King, tucking into bed seven famous little screen people, whose minds and bodies were kept healthy and natural by her spontaneous good spirits. Outside the city in a cool, high-walled convent, Miss Marie Wilson sat, quietly teaching the children sewing. In Salt Lake City, Utah, my cloud dropped down beneath the friendly shade of a tall brick building to revive me, for I was burning with the heat. There T found Wallace Hook in a business office giving dictation to Miss Louise Randol, his private secretary, about his oil wells. Gladys Hoy was giving platform speeches on the building of a landing for airplanes. My fever fled as the cloud again whisked me onward, over mountains, where I found Sam Wilson in a stout log cabin on a wooded peak, protecting the forests from fire. Over the green grazing lands we floated and paused before a huge meat-packing establishment, from which Kenneth Grim was retiring to enter his favorite business, that of florist. In a Kentucky town I found Miss Kath¬ erine Markley on a race track celebrating her engagement to the Major’s son by racing her favorite horse. My cloud was evidently wearied, and it hastened over the cotton belt so quickly that I almost missed seeing Mr. John Boyle receive his M. D. degree, as well as hearing Miss Thelma Koiner give a powerful political speech at the convention in Georgia. In New Orleans we slackened our pace and discovered Miss Elizabeth Wil¬ son teaching Latin and dancing in a huge, white columned high school. Miss Frances Ratclifife was watching her kindergarten pupils give a lovely little pageant on the cool lawn. Whirling on our way northward we stopped long enough to see Miss Emma Jane Shultz referee the final basketball game between two girls’ colleges. I wished to stay and watch but the cloud hurried on, stopping over the white dome of the Capitol long enough for me to see Miss Charlotte Taylor in the Virginia senator’s seat, with her eyes fixed admiringly on a portrait of Alfred Smith. Now, I understood why the cloud was hurring so—it wanted to get back to Staunton before dark—and what a change we found! Wide streets, beautiful buildings, and George Long’s spacious haberdashery, showing just what a wel l dressed man should wear. El wood Stover had built himself an up-to-date drug store on the very spot where his old loafing place had been—but these two were the only two left in the old hometown—so I sorrowfully drifted northward. Gradually, the cloud and haze began to disappear and 1 found myself in a cool, white hospital room. Not long afterwards 1 was greatly surprised to hear that Miss Virginia Brand had inquired for me. This was indeed surprising, since the last 1 had heard of her, she was doing Girl Reserve work in France. This was the end of my strange experience. Schoolmates, I hope you are all listening in tonight and that you have been brought closer together by my speech. Now, for old time’s sake I will sing one of those old songs we sang so joyously in Assembly at dear old Lee High. I shall sing the “Spanish Cavalier,” and Mr. Robert Knowles has consented to accompany me with “Solomon Levi.” I thank you. Hall of Fame GIRLS Prettiest . Margaret Parker Most Athletic.

The time has come for us to say “good¬ bye.” But before we part, let us pause to review some of our activities for the year. The Ministerial Association has secured for us many inter¬ esting speakers throughout the year. Among these have been Mr. St. Clair, Mr. Woodrum, Dr. Fraser, Dr. Brown Smith, Mr. Hesser, Mr. Sydenstricker, Mr. Shannon, Mr. Gravatt, Mr. Sheets, and Mr. Wayland. Rotary Club has sent us several speakers who have told of the different vocations in which we may engage. Dr. Armstrong spoke on “Dentistry,” Dr. M. J. Payne on “Preventive Medicine,” Mr. Gilbert on the plumbing industry— “The History of the Bath Tub,” and Mr. Sam Collins on “Architecture.” The Glee Club has become an important organization at Lee High this year. Its first apeparance was on October 27th at the District Teachers’ Convention held here. Two very interesting programs have also been presented in assembly— one on November 8th and one December 20th. On Friday, April 26th, the Glee Club, Orchestra, and Mixed Chorus gave their big concert. The Glee Club gave a cantata, “Spring Cometh,” and beautiful selections were rendered by the other groups. The orchestra is larger and better than ever before and has been a real credit to Lee High with each appearance. As for the mixed chorus—you must hear in order to understand. “Kathleen,” one of the greatest stage successes of the year, was presented at the New Theatre by the Senior Class of Lee High School on Wednesday, Febru¬ ary 27th. This play was one of the most successful ever presented by a class at Lee High artistically, dramatically, and financially. We discovered some real talent among our students, and each member of the cast and the chorus deserves a great deal of credit. What do clubs mean in school life? Just ask one of the members. Our Girl Reserves, Hi-Y Club, Boys’ Club, and Freshman Club have all contributed a great deal to school activities and have helped a great deal in promoting school spirit and leadership. The Hi-Y and Girl Reserves entertained the Freshmen early in the year and helped them to find their place in high school life. “The Hanging of the Greens” at Christmas seemed to put all the Girl Reserves and their guests into the true Christmas spirit. The Girl Reserves also took charge of the chapel program on “White Christmas,” December 18th. Here resolutions for the New Year were given by all the clubs and classes. Two of our most interest¬ ing speakers, Mr. Lichtey, State Y. Secretary, and Miss Gretta Smith, national field secretary, were secured through the work of these clubs. The Hi-Y and Girl Reserves entertained the faculty at a banquet on March 22nd, at which time the aims and ideals of the clubs were explained. Three inter-club nights have been held in which the Hi-Y, Boys’ Club, and Girl Reserves took part. The Literary Societies have not held many meetings, but they have been growing and improving this year. And they have certainly helped us learn par¬ liamentary law and to overcome in part, at least, our terror of speaking in public. Many improvements have been made in our surroundings. The approach to the school has been completed, to our great satisfaction, at last work on the stadium is really going forward, and best of all we have real opera seats in assembly. As this Rkcord goes to press, the Seniors are eagerly anticipating the annual entertainment by the Rotary Club and the other commencement activities. Cast and Choruses, “Kathleen” Success Thelma Koiner ft takes a lot o’ livin’ in this world to bring “Success,” A lot o’ joy and sadness and we often have to rest Before we really ’complish the things we’ve tried to do, The things we’re goin’t’ practice after we have thought ’em through. It’s not a thing that can be won by an impulse or a sprint, Before it’s real we’ve got t’ put a lot o’ effort in it, Each day and night as time goes on we constantly must work, For “Success” is something that is lost if we forget or shirk. So let’s work on with earnestness, with joy an’ hope an’ play, Then the time we’ve spent to win will seem but just a day, Each minute that we’ve labored will be a joy then And we’ll receive our just reward—“Success” will crown the end. The Little Things Gladys Hoy WONDER just how many of us realize the great importance of the so-called “little things’’ as we journey through our four years of high school? Although it is a late hour, Seniors, let us stop and reflect a few minutes on this matter. Probably, some of the lower classmen can profit by our mistake of failing to be observant of “little things.” Let us name some of these things, the proper observance of which, could mean so much to us and to our school. A cheery “good morning” to those whom we meet in the hall. Start the day off with a smile; a genial smile means much to the pupils, as well as to the teachers, and even makes life more pleasant for those who smile. Let us try each day to do some little act of kindness for some one. It may be this can be accomplished before we even enter the building. Don’t rush, don’t be rude by pushing others back so that you may be the first to enter. Be cour¬ teous to pupils and teachers, and in so doing you are adding one of the finest qualities to your character. One may show courtesy even at the drinking foun¬ tain; step back and wait for your turn as pushing is not only rude but dangerous. It seems to me one of the most important qualifications to possess is respect for the silence and attention of others. Take assembly exercises for instance. A pupil is respectfully and reverently taking part in the morning exercises; sud¬ denly his neighbor “punches” him and whispers some irrelevant remark; how annoying, the thread of discourse is lost, causing, perhaps, the interest to wane. Why? All because one pupil had no respect for the reverent silence of his neighbor. May I ask you to earnestly consider this, and let others hear what is to be said even though you are not interested and have no respect for the speaker. Now, just one other thought 1 desire to bring before you, and that is “laughing at the mistakes of others.” It seems a small, funny thing to those of us who laugh. But does it appear so trivial to the one who has made the mistake? 1 think not, and 1 daresay, we never dream of the hurt and sting, which often Mav we try to be more careful our laughter brings to some of our schoolmates. along this line ? Many of these things, perhaps, are due to thoughtlessness, and carelessness. But do we, as students, desire to cultivate habits of thoughtlessness, and care¬ lessness? By no means, so let us stand on guard against such habits, and culti¬ vate those qualities which go toward making steadfast, dependable men and women. Onward, Lee High Miss M. Virginia Potts Onward, Lee High, Onward, Lee High, Plunge right into the fray, Hit that line, ev’ry time, Vict’ry we’re sure to win today, rah, rah—rah, rah, rah; Show your pep,” boys, Keep your rep,” boys. One goal will make them yield— We will keep old Lee High on the top, Back them right down the field.

A Writing for School Publications Jack Doswell HERE are numbers of difficulties which the writer for school publications has to overcome. The choice of theme, title, and form is usually an arduous task; and to most student writers varied expression and an easy flow of words are unknown. First, let us consider the subject. The student will do well to pick for his theme some subject, or phase of life which interests him and with which he is familiar. The article will not be read if it is uninteresting to the reader. The purpose in reading an article is to learn some interesting facts or to derive some enjoyment from the adventures of the characters. Sequence must be employed in the plot. Cause and effect should be used unless there are certain acts which the writer purposely conceals until later on in the story. The selection of a proper title is difficult. The title should give the reader some insight into the article, just enough to awaken interest, but not give too much information about the contents. In the construction of any piece of composition there must be unity, em¬ phasis, and coherence. A composition has unity when all the material has been so sifted and selected that each part contributes its share to the central thought of the whole. Emphasis demands that those parts of the composition which are most important be placed where they will attract the greatest attention. Co¬ herence is the placing together of those parts related in thought and the separat¬ ing of those parts which are not closely connected. The composition which will attract the attention of the reader is one which has a main thought or incident, with the other thoughts and incidents subordinate to this chief idea. The subordinate ideas should explain and strengthen the main thought and be related so that no unnecessary ideas will be admitted anti destroy the unity. The first paragraph of a composition should be a strong one, the second stronger and the third still stronger, until the climax is reached, so that the reader’s attention having once been secured will not be lost. A story should get under way at once, the movement must be kept up and the reader must not be harassed by tiring description, though a certain amount of this essential must be present if the work is to have value. The plot should be simple enough to be probable and easily understood and there should not be so many characters that a number of them remain strangers throughout the entire reading. The student author should use great caution in selecting the manner in which his story is to be told. When a story is told in the third person the author becomes an omniscient power who sees and knows all. This is a dangerous position for the young writer who can obtain much better results when narrat¬ ing in the first person. It is well for the student author to remember that the school publication represents his school and that its success or failure reflects upon the student body. Articles written for the school magazine should be carefully and con¬ scientiously prepared. Do this sort of work with a willing spirit because by so doing your school is benefited. T omorrow Charlotte Taylor FTER four long years of work and expectation, we have at last reached our coveted goal, graduation. But this is not the end of labor and earnest endeavor. It is just the commencement of life. What of tomorrow? Will we make a success in life and triumphantly attain the same goal in the great course of life which we have reached here in high school? It’s up to us! Let’s strive hard for success and make Lee High proud of us. In the struggles and problems of life, the same ideals and aims which we have tried to maintain here are necessary. Honor, perseverence, courage, de¬ termination, courtesy, sportsmanship, and school spirit are some of the character¬ istics that have brought us success in our high school careers. They were nec¬ essary here but how much more necessary they wall be in the struggle for a place in the great world around us. School spirit—what is it? It is really an intangible thing. We can’t ex¬ plain it, but each one of us knows what it means to us and what a difference it makes in the life at old Lee High. But we must not forget it now that our school days are over, for the same spirit will carry us through life. Let’s get behind all our undertakings in life as we have our school activities here. How about it? But wherever w e go and whatever we do, we can never forget our dear old high school days and it will be with great joy and sw r eet memories that w r e will look back on them—tomorrow. A Dream of Romance Audrey V. Bowman PRING had come. Even above the odor of frying onions and boiling cabbage one could smell the freshness. Despite the squawking of fruit venders and the clang of the ice-man’s gong one could imagine the singing of birds and the lowing of cattle. Though as far as the eye could see there were nothing but dirty side walks, rickety band-box tenements, and frail fire-escapes laden with flapping washes, still one who wished could visualize long stretches of country meadows, tenderly green, or dusty rural roads, flanked by green hedges or early apple trees bent with bursting buds. Even Chicago with its roar and bustle noted the change; even the hardened denizens of State Street, one of its toughest sections, felt their hearts fill with a vague unrest, and a longing for a change to climes where vice and crime were unknown; where no gang-wars bore swift and terrible destruction; where no blue-coated upholders of a stern law menaced one’s peace of mind. For some time now the worthy Mr. Kaminsky, sole owner and operator of Kaminsky’s Flower Factory, had noted a disturbing unrest among his under¬ paid, over-worked employees. It seemed to his industrious mind that there was too much dreamy-eved gazing out the narrow windows, too much laborious sighing, and too much reverie on the part of the pale, hollow-eyed girls, who, from silken scraps, made the scarlet roses and purple violets that they had never seen in reality. Especially did he mark the lassitude of red-haired Peg O’Rourke, whose green eyes usually blazed with all the ardor of her Irish temperament, and whose spirit alone was not crushed by her environment. She did not allow it to be— she took things as they came, intending to better them when she could. So now that the spring had come, there was a curious thawing of the ice-bergs in her eyes, and her lips, usually compressed into a tight, red line, melted into a soft scarlet bow. And her employer knew that something had come over Peg, some¬ thing strange, a bit of magic. “Faith, Mr. Kaminsky,” she told him when he chided her, “it ain’t you an’ the gurls, Pm tired o’—it’s th’ city, an’ th’ roarin’, an’ th’ meanness! Fook out ther’—nothin’ hut dirt an’ smoke an’ low-down people! God never meant fer men t’ live like beasties, Mr. Kaminsky, but why didn’ He give us all a chanch? Why they’s hun’erds out ther’ starvin’, an’ (lyin’ an’ nobody raisin’ a finger F help—no won’er they steal, an’ kill each other fer what they c’n git! ft’s a sad thing I’m thinkin’. I wanna git out, jes’ ez quick ez I c’n scrape up the cash, an’ then J’m hittin’ fer th’ country, th ' rale ‘sticks’ wher’ things is rale! It’d he Heav’n t’ see honest-t’-gracious llow’rs an ' birds thet vvuzn’t stuffed! I want som ' pin ' new, som’pin’ beautiful!” Jimmy Sills was impatient. There were important matters weighing on his usually care-free mind, and he desired to settle things as soon as possible. Right at present he was calling on Peg O’Rourke—she was the first matter. He found her seated on the steps of the old brick tenement with her mother, a faded, hag¬ gard woman, and several small, dirty, sisters and brothers. His greetings were brief and a little embarrassed. “Le’s walk down t’ th’ pavilion, Peg,” he suggested. She responded wil¬ lingly—a dance or two with Jimmy, at the public pavilion, down by the water¬ front was not to be refused. They strolled along in the gathering dusk talking little, but each filled to overflowing with thoughts. At length Jimmy spoke. “Peg, I’m goin’ away.” “Pm thinkin’ o’ goin’ meself, Jim. Nothin’s t’ hoi’ me.” “Peg,” his voice was lower now, and a thrillingly tremulous note ran through it, “Peg, can ' t we go t’gether? I love ya, honest I do. An’ we could go some place an’ start all over agin’—1 ain’t been exac’ly straight, but I am frum now on. Bo Hogan’s gang hez tried t’ rope me in, but I ain’t gonna be roped. 1 gotta see ’im t’—t’morro’ night an’ sign off fer good. Will ya, Peg?” She lifted her eyes to his, a great light filled them, the flame of Love’s candle, lighted for her man! “Yes, Jim, 1 been waitin’ fer a long time fer ya t ' speak. Le’s git all fixed an’ go right away. Hogan’ll let ya out. Lissen, Jim, did yo ever pull a job fer him?” There was fear in her voice. He shook his head. “Never, Peg, but I got th’ low-down on lots he’s pulled. That’s gonna make it hard, he’ll think I’ll squeal. But fergit it, le’s think o’ som’pin’ else, dancin’ f’r instance, ther’s th’ pavilion lights.” Hogan was in an ill humor; first of all, his carefully planned killing of Officer John O’Day had been frustrated; that announcement while he was at his coffee had given him indigestion. Then came word that Dago Mike had robbed a bank that Hogan was concentrating on; that was. surely, a ‘tough break,’ if ever there was one! Right at that unpropitious moment came a hesitant knock on his door. “All right,” he growled, “c’mon in!” A small, wizened individual entered. His shifty eyes roved about the room. “Spill it, Coke, th’ coast’s clear!” “Somebody’s squealed about th’ Carson deal, we gotta beat it, boss! Hogan jumped to his feet and swore a mighty oath. “ Squealed? Somebody’ll git croaked fer this, an’ dat imejitly. Who knows about de deal beside de gang?” Coky thought for a moment. ‘‘Nobody but Jim Sills, an’ he wouldn’ dare t’ peach!” ‘‘Sills! By-dere’s de rat what done it! Coky, dat guy’ll never see day¬ light agin when git on t’ ' im ! Tell de bunch t’ come t’night an ' ac’ like noth m’ ain ' t wrong. I’ll see t’ young Sills. De bulls won’ git on t’ dis hang-out fore t’morro’, an’ den we’ll be gone! Git out now, an’ roun’ up de gang!” ”1 won’ be a minute, Peg, you wait here in th’ hall. If 1 hev any trouble 1 don’ wan’ you in it. Jes’ a minute now!” ‘T—I’m scairt, Jimmy. Hogan’s tough an’ yer by yerself—an’—well, jes’ be cairful!” She stood on tip-toe to accommodate herself to his height, and lifted her face to his. “Now,” she breathed. ‘‘Go ahead, I’ll wait!” He rapped at the door, went in. “C’mon in’t’ th’ game, Jim,” Coky invited. ‘‘1 got bus’ness wit’ Hogan, Coke.” ‘‘Bus’ness kin wait, kid, c’mon!” came Hogan’s voice. “Oh, all right, but not fer long.” He sat down. Hogan frowned, got up, and fumbled at the light. “Dem lights too strong. I’m gonna screw de bulb out a little t’ cut off some gas.” “Cairful, ther’, Hogan, they’s some jets wit’ no light globe,” warned one of the men. “1 guess I’ll b’ goin’,” said Coky, rising, “s’long!” “I’ll jes’ go ’long, I guess,” said another, and he too arose, leaving Smoke, Jimmy, and Hogan at the table. Instead of using the door both quickly lifted the window sash and vanished by way of the fire-escape. “Why th’ ’scape, Hogan, ain’t th’ door o. k.?” Hogan laughed. “O. k. fer some guys, but not fer don! He arose again and toyed with the light. Jim felt a drowsiness stealing over him, a sort of sleepy sluggishness. He tried to fight it off, but vainly. His head sank upon the table, his hands, holding the cards, fell limp. A sickeningly sweet odor filled the room, the odor of escaping gas! Peg, growing impatient and frightened, listened at the door breathlessly. There was no sound. She tried the knob. It yielded. She pushed the door open. Beneath the dimly burning light Jimmy sprawled across the card-strewn table. Save for him the recently filled room was deserted. The window was securely closed. The tattered curtains hung limp. Above all hung that soporific odor of gas. The girl advanced, fearfully, hesitantly. One glance told her all. Mechan¬ ically she cut off the gas, opened the windows. She shook the still figure—no re¬ sponse! She felt the cold hand; it was lifeless! She sank down beside him, sobbing wildly, great choking sobs that shook her frail body. At length she got up, turned the inert body so that she might take a look at the face, kissed the pale brow, and with purposeful step left the room. The chief of police at headquarters was not a little amazed by the story of the wildly beautiful girl who came to him at midnight and poured out a tale of gang hatred, vengeance, and murder that seemed the creation of an unbalanced mind. But he knew that she was sane, deadly calm under a great strain, and so he set the w ' heels of law in motion, and the day of retribution w r as not far off. “I guess I’ll stay on, Mr. Kaminsky,” a saddened Peg told her employer months later. “It ain’t th’ same now!” She choked, and ceased. Things weren ' t the same, ’tis true, but she had had her Great Adventure, her Romance. What if it were blasted in its budding, must we all not live and love, sorrow and die, before we reap the bitter sweetness of existence and know Romance in its broadest sense? Southern Melody Audrey V. Bowman The mellow moon is swinging low O’er the mountains dim and blue, And puffy cloudlets float along Where the stars play peek-a-boo. The lofty pines are softly whis’pring All their secrets to the breeze While the night birds all are crooning In their havens ’mongst the trees. You can hear the hound dogs baying On tbe wary raccoon’s track And the darkey’s high-pitched yelling Or his shot gun’s deadly “crack!” The mountaineer is softly humming On the bench outside his door As the young folks stamp a “shin-dig” On the cabin’s rough, plank floor. Hark! the banjo’s soft, low strumming In the quarters far away Betrays the darkey’s love of Romance After laboring all the day.

Halfback SUBSTITUTES Houston Herndon Leonard Chittum Harry Greer Charles Ralston Randolph Larner WALLACE HOOK CENTER AND CAPTAIN Wallace was the most outstanding player on the team. He was a tower of strength on both the offense and de¬ fense and when things looked had for the “Eleven Lee- men,” it was Wallace who kept the spirit of the team from sinking. Of the type that never quits fighting, Hook made an ideal captain. His passes were always accurate and it was his brilliant playing throughout the whole season that contributed largely to j ee’s success. This was Wallace’s last year on the team. We bid a fond farewell to one of the best high school centers we’ve ever seen. MAURICE PARKER HALFBACK. AND CAPTAIN-ELECT “Moses” proved himself one of the best halfbacks Lee Hi has had in many a year. He was the most consistent ground gainer on the team. Although Maurice seldom made long runs, he was never content with less than six or eight yards. This was his first year of high school football and if all “rookies” were as good as he, we wish we might start each season with eleven new men. His teammates showed their esteem for him by choosing him to lead the 1929 var¬ sity. Parker was always in the limelight, but through it all. he remained the same modest boy; may you remain that way Maurice, we admire you for it. FRANK SMOKE FULLBACK Playing his first year at Lee Hi, Smoke won for him¬ self a place in the heart of every student as a hard fighter. We’ve never seen a person who could go through a line like Smoke. With plenty of drive and fight back of every play, Smoke accounted for many badly needed gains. He was originally a lineman, but he was transferred to the backficld and here he proved his worth. His brilliant play¬ ing won for him a position on an All-State Team. Lee Hi will miss Frank next year, and how! WILLIAM THOMAS Bill was one of our best players this year. A good broken field runner, he proved himself a good back. His kicking put him on a par with the best in this part of the State. It was nothing unusual to see him make thirty or forty yards on an end run. He was also a very accurate passer. Bill was always fighting hard and in the midst of every play. He has another year to play and Lee Hi will be glad to see him back. BEN MOSELEY TACKLE Tall and lanky, “Grog” made an ideal tackle. He was the lightest man on the line, but what he lacked in weight he made up for in fight. Ben was the hardest tackier on the team and several of his opponents will vouch for his fitness in this particular art. “Grog” outfought and out¬ played men twice his size and because of his ability to fight with the odds against him, he earned the title of “The Iron Man.” Ben was always spoiling intended end runs and when a line play went over him he always had his man out. This was Ben’s last year on the team. Lee High will miss a hard fighter next year. GRAHAM TANNEHILL GUARD Introducing “Klotz,” Hall’s kid brother, and the main reason why ladies prefer brunettes. “Klotz” was also a “rookie,” but he played through the whole season bkc a veteran. We have never seen a person who could fight as long and as hard as Graham. Playing several games with an injured shoulder, Graham proved he had the “guts.” His playing throughout the past season gave him the reputation of being one of the best guards Lee High has ever had. We’ll venture to say that Hall and Graham were the best pair of guards in the Valley. Graham also has another year to play and Lee Hi will welcome him back. HALL TANNEHILL GUARD Hall was also a “rookie,” but he filled a responsible posi¬ tion with great skill. Hall was in the midst of every play. It was his brilliant running of interference for the Lee hacks that paved the way for more than one long gain. Playing in a position where you get all the “knocks,” Hall was never knocked out. He was the fastest man on the team ; he stopped more than one back in his tracks. The way he played against Handley was a sight well worth see¬ ing. Hall has another year to play, and Lee Hi will wel¬ come back a hard fighter to bring to it greater fame. JOHN BARBEE QUARTERBACK Here we have the “scrappingest” football player we’ve ever seen. By far the smallest player on the team, Johnnie proved he was small in weight only. At times, he con¬ stituted practcially the whole Lee defense. Johnnie believes in “hittin ’em low,” and he surely put this into practice. Johnnie could also carry the ball and he accounted for a great many of Lee Hi’s gains. He proves the saying that “Good gifts come in small packages,” Lee High will wel¬ come back a wonderful football player next year. PERCY ROBY TACKLE “Irish” is one of those few people who always likes to stay in the background and let the other fellow take the credit, but his brilliant playing kept him in the limelight all season. Percy was always in the midst of every play and as a proof of his fighting spirit, we might enumerate many times when he was almost “gone” but kept on playing. Our only regret of the past season is that the Athletic Associa¬ tion couldn’t equip Percy with a solid green outfit, for this “Irisher” loves his green. This was Percy’s last year on the football team. It is useless to say that he will he great¬ ly missed next year. BERNARD WHITE END Another “rookie” who showed he could play as well as a veteran. Bernie” could really “snag” passes, and it was his ability to do this that was instrumental in winning sev¬ eral games. He was one of the hardest fighters on the team and he had more than anyone else the real “Lee High Fight.” It was “Bernie’s” ability to run interference that accounted for several long gains. He was always down the field under every kick and it was very seldom that a safety man got away from him. Bernard has two more years to play and Lee Hi will welcome him hack with outstretched arms. BERNARD PAYNE END “Susky” is one of the best ends Lee Hi has ever had. He seldom missed a tackle and the way he spoiled intended end runs was a sight to behold. He was always sent down after the receiver of punts, and he usually got his man. He was an important factor in our tieing Harrisonburg; he pulled more “flying tackles” in this game than we’ve ever seen. Bernard was another light player, hut he had the fight and it carried him through. “Susky” is also a senior; Lee Hi will certainly miss him next year. COACH A. E. DORAN Good natured and fair, A. E. Doran was always con¬ siderate of his men. The stern discipline which he main¬ tained at all times only served to make his men love and respect him. He was at all times, a true gentleman, and would not tolerate profanity and unfairness among his players. He occupies an enviable position among the stu¬ dents at Lee Hi and those of us who are leaving hid fare¬ well to one of the finest men it has ever been our privilege to know. It is the wish of every student at Lee Hi, that he will be hack with us next year. Football Resume T THE beginning of the past football season, prospects for a good team were not very bright. With only three letter men from the 1927 Varsity, the task of building up a strong team presented itself as a difficult one. However, Coach A. E. Doran tackled that seemingly impossible job and when the whistle blew to open the season with Buena Vista, Lee Hi’s supporters knew that he had succeeded in removing the obstacles that would have barred the path of most coaches. The season opened with Buena Vista High School, and the game resulted in a tie, 6-6. Nine of the eleven players in this game were getting their first taste of high school football, and although their playing was not brilliant, they showed great promise. Buena Vista was the only team that crossed Lee’s goal line all season. A week later, the heavy V. S. D. B. team fell before the “Eleven Leemen,” 6-0. The Lee team showed great improvement, and every one of the “rookies” played a game that would have done honor to a “veteran.” The next game was with Lane Hi, of Charlottesville. The Leemen avenged themselves for last year’s defeat bv sending the Lane Hi team home with the short end of a 7-0 score. A week later the “Eleven Leemen” ran over, around, and through the team representing Lexington Hi. It was a great game, and every one of the Leemen deserves credit for his splendid playing. The final score was 20-0. On Armistice Day the Leemen played the heavier team from Harrisonburg Hi, our time-honored rivals, to a scoreless tie. The Leemen were able to play against a much heavier team and keep them from scoring because of a fighting spirit that would not be downed. A week later the “Eleven Leemen” brought a successful season to a close with a brilliant 3-0 victory over Handley High, of Winchester. In this game the Lee¬ men held the Handleyites for four downs on the one-inch line. The “Eleven Leemen” played together with clock-like smoothness and pre¬ cision. They were not out for glory and praise, but for victory, no matter what the price, so long as it was obtained in a fair way. Basketball Team A. E. Doran. Elwood Stover. Bernard Payne. Ben Moseley . Leonard Chittum . Roland Nicholson . . Coach Captain, Forzvard . Forzvard . Center . Guard . Guard Bernard White SUBSTITUTES Robert Matthews Maurice Parker Howard Hanna ELWOOD STOVER FORWARD AND CAPTAIN “Louie” is beyond a doubt the flashiest basket¬ ball player to ever wear the Blue and White. No shot is too hard for him ; he makes the seemingly impossible look simple. A fast and accurate pass¬ er; an excellent dribbler; a true shot; and a hard fighter, “Louie” made a wonderful captain. It was his brilliant playing that kept the Leemen in the running for State honors. His modesty won for him the respect of his team-mates and every student at Lee Hi. At the Washington and Lee Tournament, Louie received a mounted silver basketball in recognition of his ability as a scorer. Will he be missed next year?—and how! BEN MOSELEY CENTER “Grog” was one of the best high school centers in this part of the State. He always got the jump on his opponent. Besides his excellent floor- work, “Grog” was one of the Leemen’s best scorers. It was his long shot from the center of the floor that defeated Alexandria by a single point. Ben was always scrapping and never gave up. He is a senior, and so this is his last year on the team. He certainly will be missed next year. BERNARD PAYNE FORWARD “Susky was an excellent player. Like “Louie” Stover, he was an accurate passer and shooter. It was his uncanny shooting that won several games for the Leemen. He was the hardest fighter on the team and kept on playing when the rest of the team has apparently quit. “Susky” was small and light, but he made up for this by speed, and plenty of it. “.Susky,” we hate to see you go, but the best wishes of the students go with you. ROLAND NICHOLSON GUARD “Plump” Nicholson, as he is known to the co- memhers of the “Five Leemcn,” is one of the most aggressive guards who has ever had the honor of donning a Lee uniform. He was a com¬ bination of speed and deception when in action upon the court, and was one of the mainstays in the Lee offense as well as the defense. We are glad to say that “Nick” will lie hack with us next year to carry on with the Five Leemen.” LEONARD CHITTUM GUARD As a guard, we have yet to see “Bo’s” equal. Fast and tall, “Bo” was an ideal player. It was his ability to follow up the opposing team’s shots that usually kept their score so low. This was Leonard’s first year of basketball, and he acquit¬ ted himself with honor. “Bo’s” good nature has won him the respect of all the students. He never quit fighting, and wherever the ball was, you would see his towering figure. Leonard has two more years, and Lee Hi will certainly wel¬ come him hack next year. BERNARD WHITE GUARD “Berny” may he considered as a general utility man, for during the current season he filled every position upon the “Five Leemen” which happened to fall vacant. He filled it well, too, and could lie depended upon to always do his best. We are exceedingly lucky in having “Berny” hack next year to perform for us. Basketball Resume HE basketball season opened with Fishersville High School, County Champs. The Leemen had only several days’ practice behind them, and as a result, lost, 31-26. A few days later, Bridgewater fell before the “Five Fee- men,” 37-9. The Feemen hit their stride in this game. The next game was with Waynesboro, and the Feemen played excellent basketball to win 24-22. The “Five Feemen” next encountered the Y. M. C. A. Seniors. Against their opponents, who were rated highly, the Feemen made a splendid showing, and won 28-24. The Feemen, wit h a rearranged lineup, next defeated the strong V. S. D. B. team, 31-27. The next game was with Harrisonburg. The “Five Feemen” ran wild to double their opponents’ score, 46-23. A few days later, after a long train ride, the Feemen were defeated by Fane Hi, of Charlottesville, 24-18. Bridgewater was the next victim, falling before the Feemen to the tune of a 27-24 score. A few days later, the “Five Feemen” again met defeat, this time at the hands of Harrisonburg Hi, 23-16. The “Five Feemen” came back in the next game to win from Fexington Hi, 38-20. Waynesboro again fell before the Feemen; this time to a 26-22 score. Playing for the Championship of District IV, Fee Hi defeated V. S. D. B., 39-36. In a return game with the Y. M. C. A. Seniors, the “Five Feemen” again showed their superiority by defeating them, 25-20. Playing in the State Elimination of Districts, the Feemen “took” Covington FTi, 40-16. This was Covington’s first appearance on a local court. The “Five Feemen” lost the next game to Fane Hi by a single point, 27-26. Suffolk High forfeited to the Feemen, 2-0, to give them the right to play Alexandria in the State Semi-finals. The Feemen won the game with Alexandria by a single point, and also the right to play in the State Finals. The score was 19-18. In the next game, the Feemen took a rest, and the “subs” journeyed to Fex¬ ington and came home with the wrong end of a 36-12 score. The “Five Feemen” closed their season in the game with Rocky Mount to decide the State Champions. After an exciting game with two extra periods, the Feemen lost, 24-21, hut only after playing the best basketball they knew how to play, and staging one of the best exhibitions of basketball playing that Fee Hi has ever given. In the Washington and Lee Tournament, the Leemen were eliminated in the first round by Massanutten Military Academy, strong prep team, by a single point, 37-36. We are proud to say that our conquerors went to the quarter finals. The “Five Leemen’’ presented one of the most accurate passing teams seen around this part of the State for quite a while. The team was probably the fastest one that ever represented Lee Hi. The team always worked hard for Lee Hi and the coach, and as a result brought great fame to Lee Lli. Baseball Team A. E. Doran.
