If all things else I care about Should in a moment disappear 1 shouldn’t fret, I shouldn’t doubt If I were sure that you were near, For you are everything that’s dear To me. Valedictory Kate Drake T IS with a feeling of sadness that we, the class of 1930, meet this evening to say farewell to schoolmates, teachers, and school. Friendship is a precious, a tender thing; during the years we have been together, we have learned to know and appreciate the many hue qualities of those whom we are proud to call friends. The happy hours spent here at old Lee Fligh with them will ever be a sacred memory to us. To the teachers we express our sincere gratitude for their unceasing and tireless efforts on our behalf, their kindly encouragement, and warm friendship. When we go forth into the broader fields of life, as we shall soon go, what are our plans? Are we planning to become leaders in college, in business, or shall we be content to depend upon someone else? Content merely to follow the crowd through life? A view held by many today and gaining in popularity is that the world has too many leaders and too few well-trained followers. Be that as it may, we well know that in this great age of industry, and of rapid changes, situations and con¬ ditions are constantly arising which call for outstanding men, leaders who must have the qualifications of courage, honesty, and perseverance. Today, we hear much of the spirit of service to others, and rightly so, for if we are not useful to others, of what use are we? But can we all become leaders? you ask. Perhaps not, but if we aim high, if our vision is a worthy one, we cannot fall very far short; and those of us who fail to lead, will, at least, through the efforts made, be much better qualified to serve as followers. Let us not be content to stand still, for as has been said, “A standing still is a kind of descent.” We fully realize as we go out from our school here that we have been well prepared and equipped to assume the responsibilities which will confront us. May we look upon our responsibilities and difficulties as valuable opportunities to aid us in reaching the thing we most greatly desire. Remember that the man who reaches the heights and who conquers is the one who does more than is required of him. Today is yours, and mine, to do with it as we will. So let us keep ever before us these words of Phillips Brooks: “The ideal life is in our blood and never will be still. Sad will be the day for any man when he becomes contented with the thoughts he is thinking and the deeds he is doing—where there is not forever beating the doors of his soul some great desire to do something larger, which he knows that he was meant and made to do.” Salutatory Kerlyn Baber R1ENDS, patrons, teachers, and fellow-students of Robert E. Lee High School, I consider it a great honor to have the pleasure of welcoming you here this evening. We are very glad to have you present at our graduation exercises. And what does gradu¬ ation signify, what does it stand for? It stands for the reaching of the goal which we set for ourselves when we entered high school, and toward which we have been working since that time. Our school has been growing and thriving too. Many improvements have been made since our entrance here, and it is with great pride and affection that we look upon our high school. Even though we have reached the goal which we set for ourselves upon enter¬ ing high school we have not completed, but only started upon our real work. In the future, as we go forward with our work, we shall take different paths. Some will pursue further their education, others will enter the business world to occupy different positions. Let us remember that life gives back no more than is put into it; therefore, let each of us give to our work the best we have to offer. I am sure that we shall all strive to be successful, and through this success bring honor to Lee High. In the different walks of life there are many, and great opportunities. Our desire and duty should be to find them and avail ourselves of them. Success comes not only through recognizing an opportunity, but also in grasping it and working long and faithfully until what it offers is ours. When success crowns our efforts, as it will for many of us, no doubt, let us not fail to look back to the years spent here and to give credit to the school which so well equipped us for the journey upon which we were setting out. Teachers, as we take leave of you we wish to express our sincere appreciation for your helpful advice and support during our high school career. We hope that we have conducted ourselves so that you may justly be proud of us. I salute you, class of 1930, and on your behalf extend a most hearty and sincere welcome to our friends here tonight. The Prophecy of the Class of 1930 “Tzvist, ye, tzvine ye! even so, Mingle shades of joy and zvoe, Hope and fear, and peace, and strife, In the thread of human life. ■ —Scott. And then spake Clotho, the youngest Fate, W ho spun the threads of human lives, And mingled Fright with sable strands, Which made life gay or made it sad, Who fashioned threads to guide men’s lives, Or set their goals, aims, high or low, Which facts determine man’s success, “The noble Jupiter now entreats us As he oft times is wont to do, And in a most imploring way doth wish That we be generous in the bestowal of gifts, Knowledge, beauty, wisdom, love and friends, To a certain group of mere short-living men; For it seems that of that tribe for which he prays, A few have praised him much and sung his name, Wherefore he wishes to reveal to other men That he can love and administer kindness.” And while with deft fingers that only time can teach, The fair one spun a thread for some poor mortal, And while Lachesis, the second-oldest Fate, Twisted it and by so doing made it Sometimes strong and sometimes weak, The aged Atropos, who often cut too short The thread of life, spoke in quiet tones, So many men are weak and ignorant, They cannot see the wills of the gods, But are so head-strong, vain and proud That we often see it fit to stop their lives, Lest by liv ing they influence other men Who might have known and loved the gods. It seems imprudent now that we let them live longer And have wisdom, but since great Jove 1 )oth beg that we enrich their lives, Because that they have loved us gods, There is no reason that can hinder it.” hile hearing this the skillful Lachesis made strong The threads that fair Clotho had spun. She made Them fit for harder and more useful toil, For service and endurance, and twisted them firmly. And while the dreadful Fates worked on They sometimes spoke in praise or admiration Of the lives for which they planned. And while Father Chronus made the day pass by Sweet Clotho was o’erheard to say: “The threads which we now make at Jove’s request, Are made of mingled joy and woe, As all the lives of men must be, and have A sense of beauty, love, and honesty. Let Honor be their stamp of quality, Let Justice be their highest aim ! And Lachesis, let them be strong, and able To o’ercome all evils that confront them. Let this lad have a skillful hand That can portray both man and beast; Let him live long, for Richard Lewis is a name That will forever be revered in art.” She also spoke with noble words concerning Kerlyn Baber, Who with the wisdom of Minerva, will be learned In the languages and arts. To one thread she gave many of the brightest strands, And dedicated it to Juno, for Catherine Baylor M ill be wed and lead a life of love and beauty. Lachesis decreed great steadfastness to one Named Nancy Baylor, a mathematician, Who will be famous in her field ; She dedicated to Thalia, Muse of Pastoral Verse, Kate Blankenship, to write of Nature, Beasts and Fields; Miss Louise Borden was entrusted to the care of Mercury, That she might sail through the air on motored wings; To Rosalie Brown was gi’en the love of beauty, That she might make man’s homes more lovely, And better fit to live in. And William Brown was given patience as a Scout-master Who would help instruct the youth of a nation. To illiam Collins was bestowed the gift Of teaching lessons through drawings of humor Right near the throne of Pluto, The Fates kept up their daring work, They spun long threads with brilliant hues, They wrapped them strong, and made them good. The beautiful Clotho used her utmost skill, And made threads that were safe against evil and ruin. To Doris Coville was given the love for art, That she might decorate the abodes of men. Mary Artis Danner is to vie with the winds in speed, Clotho will give to her the championship of auto races. Kate 1 Rake, w T hom Minerva has blessed wdth knowledge, Will live to teach men of the deeds of the ancients. Charles East a famous Senator from the South, Will follow Jupiter, the lawgiver and lover of peace. Polyhymnia, the Muse of Rhetoric, will tutor Richard Ergenbright, a lawyer, a friend of the oppressed. There are many in this world who loyally love, So Clotho promised sacred matrimony to Bessie Flippo. To Eleanor, her smiling sister, was given the skill To design the styles of clothes for women. To Grayson Goodloe Lachesis gives the power To follow Aurora or the fleeting Iris through the sky, Or mount the lofty clouds by aeroplane. Molly Greenstone’s thread of life was modeled After Melpomene, the Muse of Tragic Drama. Urania was invoked to bestow to Forest Harper, Scientific knowledge, from which he’ll earn his fame. Marguerite Harper, wdth her love for Euterpe, Muse of song, Will be noted for the playing of w r edding marches. Mary Harper, taught by the chief of physicians, Appollo, Will be a nurse, to treat the suffering world ; Bernice Hoover will be gifted with the ability To teach Domestic Science in a college. The spinning continued with infinite care, Lives were mapped out, plans laid for the future, Threads were then spun that can never be broken : Isabel Kennedy, with a love for education, Will become a dean of a woman’s college, Clotho endowed Walter King with a knowledge of flying, So he will become an aeron autical engineer. To Agnes Kivlighan, a knowledge of science, Whereby she’ll be a chemist at the L niversity of Chicago; To her sister, Marjorie, will be entrusted the care Of a great library to be built in New York. Paul Knopp, with a sympathy for human nature Will be a preacher, that he might show the way of light. Frances Lackey, with a love for Nature, Will help the Nymphs and Dryads to protect dumb animals. Dorothy Larner, also taught by graceful Euterpe, Will become a violinist of great repute. A person of unusual tact, gentleness, and grace Will be the head-nurse at a large hospital, Evelyn Lee. Still further the Fates were spinning threads, Exchanging comments and complimenting the group Which Zeus had so magnanimously blessed. To Woodrow Mackey was given the talent To portray the different moods of men And act with perfect mimicry. Lenore Matacia will achieve her fame Through the teaching of the Spanish language. Thomasia McClintic will be known to the world By her marvelous success on the stage. Nancy Marino, blessed with ambition and zeal, Will win infinite applause by playing the violin. Eleanor Naille will arrive at fame, Through the raising of wonderful race-horses. Wherever the name of “sports announcer” be mentioned, The name of Roland Nicholson will always be recalled; Cornelia Quarles, blessed by the gods with a sweet voice, Will be famed as a wonderful soloist. Virginia Peduto, quiet and patient, Will find her service as a trained nurse. Audry Potter and Sarah Thomas, adopted by Clio, Muse of History writing, will become famed As the writers of an American History. Mary Bell Riley, aware of the needs of men, Will be a famous dietician. Marjorie Russell, also a favorite of Clio, Will be a representative in the State legislature. A person greatly favored by the gods and Of fame in the movies is Rebecca Smith. When one of our leading universities needs a coach, William Thomas will be chosen. A famous secretary of the Y. M. C. A. Will be our Robert Thompson. Helen Waide will sway the crowds and move millions By her persuasive orations. And at last, seeing that the world needs him more Than himself, Rockwell Boyle will go to foreign fields. And as Phoebus’s car sank in flames of gold, Clotho laid aside the wool, Atropos put up the shears, Blythe Mercury glided forth and calmly Laid the world to rest.

Venimus ! Yes, we’ve come this far Though often steep the well-worn trail, But in the courageous heart of youth There must be no such word as fail. At times our burdens heavy were, We might have gone astray, But friendly hands reached out to us And helped us on our way. Vidimus! Yes, we’ve seen so much Of restlessness and strife, From hillsides we have watched afar The great world’s busy life. But as we climb still farther on New sights will greet our eyes, Green fields we’ve never seen before, New stars shine from the skies. And, even when we reach the top There’ll be more lands, yet, scarce discerned, (The wisest people scarcely know How little they have learned.) Vicimus ! Can we say we’ve won, Are we now ready to go home? ’Tis far we’ve come, ’tis much we’ve seen, But Caesar had his Rubicon. We’re on a conquest far from home And now we’re ready for the fight, And though ’tis much we’ve overcome, Our triumph is not yet in sight. So now we’ll start the fight of fights Our lives yet in the rising sun, We’ll fight till dusk, we’ve come, we’ve seen, Pray, each may conquer, then go home. World Brotherhood Robert D. Thompson FTER the World War, the world at large, awakened to the re¬ alization that modern inventions and public education, which had raised the standard of living, had also made the world wonder¬ fully small, and that the idea of “grand isolation” must be put away with the relics of the past. Men began to see that Burns, the much loved Scottish poet of democracy, had been funda- hen he said : “That man to man the world o’er Shall brithers be for a’ that.” Then the bighearted, broadminded war president of the United States, Woodrow Wilson, came forward with the idea of the League of Nations, only to find that his fellow countrymen who had always led in progressive movements, had either become static or selfish and did not approve of his ideal. Since then, numerous disarmament conferences, peace pacts, etc., have come before the public eye. A movement of this kind, however, cannot come entirely from legislation ; public opinion must be in favor of it. In accordance with this idea, we, today, hear much of world peace in our schools, newspapers, literary societies, etc. Here, we learn that an enormous amount of our taxes go to pay for war, past, present, and future. We, also, learn that our chemists have made such deadly discoveries that another war with the scope of the last one would probably blot out civilization. Nevertheless, it is not through either the school or legislation that this ideal will be satisfactorily reached; but through the means of two of our greatest social institutions, the Church, and the Y. M. C. A. These have realized what the “brotherhood of man” means, and are striving to carry the doctrine of the golden rule to every race and nation. But these institutions, we realize, are dependent upon the home, and when ' ' World Brotherhood” is taught in the home, then we shall have made the initial step toward World Peace. We, of the white race in America are inclined to feel that we are just a litttle better than other people in the world. We never stop to consider the causes of the troubles of another nation or race. We never try to obtain the viewpoint of the other side, but, instead, we plunge ahead with cocksure judgment, incriminating everyone but ourselves. When we hear of a Negro uprising, a Chinese rebellion, or of trouble in India, if we should pause to think that but for the grace of God we should be in the same position as they, 1 am sure we should take a more charitable viewpoint of such situations. The Y. M. C. A. is contributing a great deal toward this far-reaching move¬ ment. Undoubtedly, greatest work is done through summer camps, world “Y’d” tours and “Y” Boys’ Conferences. In Europe there are numerous camps where boys from countries of age old enmity are brought together under the spell of the camp fire and games, and learn that each is just as human as the other. In America at the various summer camps, foreign students are used as coun¬ cilors, and our American youth learns to love and admire them. At the “Y” Boys’ Conferences, speakers of various races and nations bring the message from their people. This goal of “World Brotherhood” cannot be achieved in a day or a month, but will take years and years. But if the idea of the “Brotherhood of Man” is impressed upon the youth of today, we may expect much of the citizens of tomorrow. Success to the Class of Thirty Walter King There she is, just look at her, Dressed in a coat of blue and white, Perched on her gear like an albatross, Ready to take to Right. Her motors are strong, big, and new, Her body and wings are long, She is the finest ever made, She’s the “Class of Thirty” strong. She’s leaving the field called R. E. Tee, On a flight over the ocean of Life, Will she succeed where others have failed, Or will she go down in the strife? We know that she’s made of the finest stuff, Known in this world of today, We’re sure she’ll succeed where others have failed, And land safely over the way. She’s manned by the finest crew in the world, She’s groomed by experienced hands, Her flight will go down into history, And be known throughout the lands. Ah, there she goes, she bids farewell, To the faithful workers at Lee, She takes to her wings like an eager bird, “Class of Thirty,” success to thee ! Thwarted Genius W. M. Collins ENRY DAVID JAMES, JR., poet, musician, artist, and general errand boy, walked lazily down the street. Despite the fact that his best friend, a pedigreed Persian cat, Lord Byron, had just died, the hoy was undeniably happy. There could be absolutely no question about it. His large blue eyes were half closed in dreamy ecstasy, the perfect contour of his somewhat cherubic countenance was broken by an angelic smile and his step, though lazy was light and in perfect time with his thoughts. Our hero’s present state of happiness is a mystery, for he had loved his cat dearly. The solution, however, reposes in Henry David’s own capable hand. It is nothing more nor less than a letter addressed to the Literary Digest Magazine. It may not be out of place to stop here for a moment and describe our young prodigy. He is seventeen years of age, stands about five feet six inches and weighs one hundred and sixty pounds. His face has before been described as cherubic: it is also child-like. Far from being a mask to his inner self it is gen¬ erally conceded that the blank look, which he carries always with him, is an absolute mirror of his thoughts. At the time our story opens he is somewhat sleepy from having spent half the night at his writing desk composing his manu¬ script. The manuscript just mentioned is what might lie termed the result of his mid-night toil. To use our hero’s own words, the death of his pet had given him “a great idea.” Though in the course of his young life, he had written many poems, never before had he tried his hand at an elegy. However, the substance taken from a dozen scribbled sheets and rearranged to suit the exacting Henry David, yielded Ihe following stately elegy. AN ELEGY H. D. James, Jr. Look thee : She sleeps ! And as she sleeps, flowers spring about her. Her head is couched in loveliest of roses. Among which her raven tresses are entwined. Her countenance, so calm, divine Is at rest in all its tranquil heauty. But, alas! She’ll ne’er be mine. For she has journeyed to that coveted haven Where all is joy and peace. It is easily seen that our budding poet, carried away by the sheer force and beauty of his lines, forgot that he was writing of a mere cat. This did not worry him, however. “For” he soliloquized, “Who will know that such a beautiful elegy had its inspiration in the death of a cat?” Henry David put a special deliverey stamp on his precious letter, looked it over to see that nothing had been forgotten, and dropped it carefully into the box. That afternoon, and for many afternoons to come, Mr. James was forced to scold his son severely and frequently before the daily chores were completed. Nor could Mrs. James be blamed for showing her annoyance on finding her new parlor wall paper desecrated with queer verses and grotesque caricatures. It was exactly two days after the death of Lord Byron, (July 19 to be exact) when Henry David met the girl of his dreams, Elizabeth, by name. His poetic inclinations showed a marked tendency, at once, toward that state, commonly known as mushy. His poems were not only mushy but extremely and ridiculously mushy. He first saw Elizabeth at seven p. m. At eight fifty-five p. m. the following- atrocious selection reposed close to his heart. HER EYES H. D. James, Jr. Limpid pools of darkest light As of liquid, sparkling fire: Dark as winter’s darkest night Springtime’s daylight, pure and bright Perfection. On the night of July 20 or perhaps I should say the morning of July 21, Mrs. James was mildly astonished upon waking up at 2 o’clock a. m. to find a light in her son’s room. As the light failed to go out she investigated. She was shocked, to say the least, on finding Henry David, Jr. pencil in hand, draped over his desk sound asleep. The following, half-completed atrocity, even more atro¬ cious than his first attempt, lay before him. TO AN ANGEL H. D. James, Jr. Limpid pools of sparkling light Bright as day, dark as night. Eyes each moment growing clearer Eyes which cannot become nearer Perfection. Double fields of carmen bright Hiding teeth, pearly white, l ips each moment growing dearer, Lips which cannot become .... Our hero continued his dreamy way until the afternoon of July 22, when he received a letter from the “Literary Digest.” He was a little abashed at having his master piece rejected, but the crowning blow came with the added caustic re¬ mark, to the effect “that his contribution might be acceptable to Judge as a parody on modern poetry.” Henry David decided that only a genius like himself could appreciate his poetry. He turned to music for consolation and, perhaps, a more successful career. Going to his sister’s room he appropriated her violin. He drew the bow across the strings and the instrument emitted a wail, strongly resembling the howl of an angry cat. His father’s voice drifted slowly up the stairs. I don t know what we’ll do with that boy, mother, he’s gotten another cat!” Our hero’s musical aspirations were immediately and properly squelched. Walking into the library, Henry David picked up a book and started reading, bor exactly three and one half hours, he chuckled over the book he had selected; Seventeen by Booth Tarkington. At the end of that time he threw the book aside with a sigh. He sat for a moment lost in thought. Suddenly, a startled look- crossed his countenance and then he flushed with a look of understanding. In the character of William Sylvester Baxter he had seen a clear portrait of himself. Simultaneously he began again to function as a normal, healthy boy. Football Team A. E. Doran. Maurice Parker. .

After about a week of conditioning, the team settled down to real work. There were about six letter men on hand and a wealth of new material. The first game was with Buena Vista. This game we lost score of 7 to 6. The Lee team seemed sluggish. During the next week the wearers of the Blue and White went to Warren- ton. Here they ran wild, taking the boys by the score of 33 to 0. The whole Lee team played well. On the eighteenth of October the Leemen defeated Lexington, 6 to 0. The V. S. D. B. next fell before the Fighting Boys from Lee Hi, to the tune of 19 to 6. The Leemen lost the next game to S. M. A.—Company “C.” After taking all the bad breaks, the Leemen lost, 13 to 7. On Armistice Day the boys in Blue and White fought the heavier team of Harrisonburg to a 0 to 0 tie in a great game. On November fifteenth, the Leemen held and outplayed the great team from Charlottesville in one of the greatest high school games ever seen in this section. The whole Lee team is to be praised for the fine work displayd.

Fighting his hardest all the time, encouraging the players—Maurice made an ideal captain. A had leg hindered to some extent Maurice’s performance this year, but even that could not hinder him from playing brilliant ball at times. Maurice had his work assigned to him in off tackle plays and in throwing passes and considering his handicap we must admit he covered himself with glory. Maurice will be hack next year, and oh, boy! will we be glad to see him? JACOB HEVENER TACKLE AND CAPTAIN-ELECT This is the first year that Jake has made a letter at Lee High, hut he played such brilliant ball and was so well liked by his team-mates that they be¬ stowed upon him the honor of leading the team of 1930. Jake was one of these “rough ole boys” when it came to making holes in opposing lines, and for calm, level-headed playing we have never seen his equal. We know his fighting spirit is going to be the inspiration for more than one of Lee’s victories next year, and Jake, old boy, we wish you all the luck in the world. ROLAND NICHOLSON QUARTERBACK This was Nick’s first year as a hack, and he surely played it like a veteran. He was a good tackier and blocker, and oh, boy! he surely could tear around the ends with a football. Speedy and brainy, Nick was one of the best backs Lee has had for a good while. We surely wish him luck wherever he goes, and know that he will make good. WILLIAM THOMAS HALFBACK 1 )id ya ' ever hear of a high school player who could kick eighty yards?—no?—well, listen, and we’ll tell you of the best high school kicker in Virginia. Sixty yards was an easy kick for this boy, and al¬ though he only kicked eighty yards once, you’ve got to admit that’s going some. Throwing passes, smash¬ ing off tackle and circling the ends were a few of Bill’s accomplishments. A hard scrapper with the do or die spirit, Bill closed his high school career in a blaze of glory. Bill is writing history on a golden page—a field that lies between two goal posts. Best o’ luck, Billy! ROBERT BURNETT GUARD Bob was one of the boys to make the team his first year out, and this shows what ability he had. Always in the game, and giving it all he had, this boy was a stone wall on the defense and a battering ram on the offense. Bob has another year to play at old Lee Hi, and we know that he will have another great year. JOHN BARBEE END In troducing Johnny Barbee, the boy who hits ’em for keeps. Playing his second year on the varsity, John Tyler showed the local fans how a small fel¬ low plays a big man’s game. Johnny was always in the game, fighting as hard as he could, and proving himself poison to the opposing backs. Making up for what he lacked in weight by plenty of “guts,” Johnny proved himself to be one of the pluckiest little players Lee has had in quite a while. We’ll be glad to see you back next year, Step-an’-a-half ! JOSEPH KINNEY GUARD Little Joe, as he is known at school, may be small, but he surely can make a big man hit the ground hard. Joe was fast, and it was not unusual to see him nail the safety man in his tracks as soon as he caught the punt. “Little Joe” played a real game at Harrisonburg, and he certainly brought terror to the hearts of the boys from down the valley. Joe will be back, and he will be a great help next year. LEONARD CHITTUM TACKLE “Flute” Chittum is the tall member of the Leemen, but he can use his height. The teams would pile up, and after the dust had settled, you would see “Flute” had tackled the man. Besides being a good tackier, he could block, and it was this lanky boy who often led the plays. “Flute” will be back next year, and we shall watch him with interest. FRANK SMOKE CENTER AND FULLBACK Playing his second and last year at Lee Hi, Smoke continued to show Lee’s supporters what happens when a 190-pound back hits a line with all he’s got. The last part of the season, Smoke returned to his former position at center, and proved to be a tower of strength at all times. His passes were always perfect, and he opened holes in the opposing lines that you could drive a road wagon through. Kick¬ ing and throwing passes were also in Smoke’s line, and he acquitted himself with honor. We are sorry to lose you, “T,” but we wish you the best luck in the world. WILLIAM MOORE TACKLE AND FULLBACK Playing his third year on the varsity, “Friend” Moore continued to live up to his reputation as a hard tackier and clean fighter. This shifty fullback must have been raised on dynamite, because when he hit a line—something had to break, and it never was him. “Friend” showed us that he could not only carry a ball, but could also play tackle. It is a safe- bet that “Friend” made two-thirds of the season’s tackles. You just couldn’t get him out of the way, and this splendid fighting spirit was the secret of his success. We’re expecting great things of you next year, Billy 1 TONY MARINO GUARD Playing his first year of varsity football, Tonv made a great name for himself. Hard, and tough as nails, Tony was always smearing up plays when they came over his side of the line. As a runner of interference for the hacks, he was unsurpassed. Tony is the kind of fighter who never gives up, and at times seemed as though he were the only person on the team who was fighting. Tony has two more years to play, and we’ll be glad to see him back. BERNARD WHITE END Bernie played his second year at end, and contin¬ ued to cover himself with all the glory. He was al¬ ways where the other team did not want him to be, and accounted for a good number of tackles. He was also a good man to have on the receiving end of passes, and a good number of gains can be laid at the feet of this plucky end. Bernie is a good all round player, and we sure will be glad to see him back next year. A. E. DORAN This year was “Coach ' s” third at Lee Hi, and for the third consecutive year, his teams again proved themselves superior to anything in the valley. Coach’s fairness, and his good nature, have won him a place in the heart of every Lee Hi student; and to the members of his team s, his lessons in sportsman¬ ship and clean playing will never be forgotten. His is one of those ne’er to be forgotten memories wc carry away from Lee High. We hope that gradua¬ tion does not mean the severing of our friendship with him. We are proud to have known you, “A. E.,” and wish you all the success and happiness in the world. LRANK BARBER MANAGER Frank didn’t play on the team, but his good spirit, his willingness to co-operate, and his ever ready smile, were important factors in the making of more than one of Lee’s touchdowns. Always working, and ready to help in any way he could, Frank turned out to be one of our best managers this year. Frank made himself a part of the football team, and was always fighting as hard as any man on the team. May the football teams of the future have as ca¬ pable a manager as did the team of 1929. WALKER CLEVELAND Walker’s bell played an important part in Lee’s victories this year, but win or lose, Walker was al¬ ways there. Walker is one of those characters who comes into your heart to stay. His smile and friend¬ liness are some of the things the Class of ’30 will never forget. When you’re in trouble and feel all blue, it seems your feet just lead you down to V alker’s den. We’re proud to have known you, Walker, and hope that the coming years will bring you sunshine and happiness. Basketball Team A. E. Doran. Roland Nicholson. Leonard Chittum. Maurice Parker .

Manager Richard Ergenbright Manager Basketball Resume ASKETBALL prospects were very good at Lee Hi this year with three letter men back and some good new material. The season opened with the Leemen trimming the Alumni 34 to 18. After the holidays the boys from Lee lost to Lishers- ville, 22-16. On the next Lriday the Leemen, led by Captain Nicholson, defeated V. S. D. B., 31-22. Next, Bridgewater was added to the list, Lee taking them 26-16. The Leemen ran wild against Harrisonburg, passing and shooting their way to victory. The score was 50 to 19. Next, Lee lost to the strong A. M. A. team, 55 to 40. On January 24th, the Leemen went to Charlottesville and trounced the boys across the ridge, 15-11. The Boys in the Blue and White were beaten by Waynesboro, there, on January 31st, by the small score of 27-22. After exams, luck seemed to be against the team from Lee Hi. After beating Bridgewater, 29 to 11, they lost to Harrisonburg, Charlottes¬ ville, Waynesboro, and Rocky Mount, losing each game by one or two points. The season was brought to a climax when Charleston, S. C., defeated the Leemen, 45-15. The team, composed of Nicholson, Moore, Outturn, Parker, and Thomas, played well, and were ably assisted by Hanna, White, Matthews, and Reid.

C. 45 354 ROLAND NICHOLSON CAPTAIN AND GUARD A forward would be dribbling in for a snowbird, when all at once he would find the ball missing; no wonder, because Nick, one of the best guards Lee ever produced, was on him like a tent. Nick played his second and last year at Lee, and made an en¬ viable name for himself. Always in the game, giv¬ ing encouragement to the other members of the team, and always playing a clean game, Nick will be sorely missed at Lee next year. Liked and respect¬ ed by all at Lee Hi, we all wish him the best of luck. LEONARD CHITTUM CENTER Flute played his second year of basketball at Lee Hi this year, and covered himself with glory. Al¬ ways playing the same steady game and always get¬ ting the ball off the hack board Belvadear has thrown terror into other teams. Never rattled, he was always there when needed, and we are sure he will have a great season next year, and our best wishes go with him. MAURICE PARKER FORWARD This is Parker ' s first year as a regular, and he has certainly shown that he can play basketball. He is always in the thick of the game, a good shot and dribbler, giving the opposing guards plenty of trou¬ ble. Moses will be back next year, and we know he will be a great help. W ILLIAM THOMAS FORWARD Bill showed us that his athletic ability is not con¬ fined to football by leading the basketball team as high scorer. Bill was the mainstay of the team, and his playing was always commented upon wherever the Leemen played. Shifty and deceptive, Billy left more than one ambitious guard staring at the at¬ mosphere. A dead shot, and a good dribbler, Bill proved to be one of the best all round forwards Lee has had in many a year. W e’re wishing you the best of luck at college, Bill. WILLIAM MOORE GUARD “L. R.” contributed his work not to the Lee score, but to keeping down the opponents’ score. W ' e’ve yet to see a forward who would go around Bill when he was at his best, and this accounts for the lowness of our opponents’ score. Fast, and a good floorman, Bill was an all round good player. He could always be depended upon to do his best. He’ll he hack next year, and we’re wishing him good luck. BERNARD WHITE FORWARD “Bernie” played practically every position on the team with equal succes-. He filled in at critical times this season, and his presence always made the Lee¬ men feel a little more secure. Bernie could guard as well as shoot, so his value to the team cannot be overestimated. He’ll be back next year, and unless we miss our guess, we’re going to hear great things from him. Baseball Team Baseball Resume HE prospect of good baseball at Lee Hi looked better this year than it had for a long time. With six letter men and a wealth of new ma¬ terial it was easy for Coach to pick his team. The spirit about the school, which for a while seemed slum¬ bering, has burst into flame, and we hope will continue all through the season. THE SCHEDULE April 4—V. S. D. B. April 11—Clifton Forge.

Office Supplies and Typewriters School Supplies Stationery Picture Frames and Engraving The School Annual T Y T E DO not think—not publicly, at least—that 1 1 we are the only people who print school an- nuals properly. Many printers do as good work as we, and a few do better, perhaps. Hut those that do better, charge a great deal more. We believe we are the second largest printers of annuals in Virginia. We know that year after year we print the same books, which indicates that our customers like our work. Fur¬ thermore we usually do any new annual that is put out in our territory, which indicates that our work is appre¬ ciated where we are best known. We always strive to carry out intelligently and in good taste the theme a staff selects. “Intelligence,” “good taste,” what wonderful words are these when applied to an annual. They mean that the printer is to enter into the spirit of the work and transfer to the printed page the vision of beauty pictured in the mind of the editor. They mean that he is to guard the staff against the visionary, the gaudy, and the need¬ lessly expensive, by constructive and conscientious advice.
