Be¬ sides being an honor roll student, he is one of our most outstanding athletes and has won laurels for Lee. WILLLAAf GOODLOE “All that zee send into the lives of others Comes back into our ozoii.” “Stack” is one hoy whom we are sure to miss when he lea es us. He is studious, always kind and willing, and has a good word for everyone. WT wish him all the good luck in the world. C A T H E R1N E JOHNS ON “ I I ' hatez’er 1 have tried to do in life, I have tried to do zeeII.” Gathcrine is shy and most modest, which, hy the ay makes her more attractive, and blushes are very ing to her. She is a fine musician and gener¬ ous with her gift. W ' e predict for her a brilliant musical career. She has demonstrated another of her latent talents, that of actress, in her leading part in the senior play. AIARGARET McCUE “Manner so gentle and s)nile so .zzoeet, A girl so zAnsom zoe seldom nieel; A disposition bright and sunny is found in fezv, But this rare gem is possessed by Margaret MeCne.” We might add that we can’t blame a certain one for being particularly fond of her and that Randolph- Macon will get one of the happiest little pupils in our school. ♦ ♦ « 9 i 9 0 9 4 9 I 0 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 4 9 9 T 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 4 9 9 9 4 f i t f « 9 9 9 9 4 -t :? w ' 3 t ♦ ► � � 1 r GLY SUTTON Life leifhutit learning is death.” Besides earning the title of scholastic leader of his class, Guy has entered several state-wide contests and acquitted himself wdth distinction. We wish him, the Valedictorian of the class of ’31, much luck and the success due his unusual ahilitjq in the future. MARIOKIE H.ALL ‘‘Victory croiens faticnce.” Majoric is quiet and sensitixe hut is willing to give any help asked of her. She is always depend¬ able and is one of the most conscientious students in the class. ALLEN AYLES “You cannot dream yourself into character; you must hanuner and forge yourself one.” Wit, friendship, and sportsmanshiji, these arc Allen’s qualities which ha e won for him popularity at Lee High and we feel sure tha ' : he will gather himself a circle of friends wherever he goes. HELEN ROWAN “Without virtue friendship cannot be.” Helen just came to us last year, hut through her happy flisposition and i)lcasant smile she has won many friends for herself. JACOB HEVENEB “1 rue courage and courtesy alzoays go hand in hand.” “Jake” is one of the most dependable members of our class; whenever a committee is needed to do some work he is always ready to help. Besides l)eing an excellent football tackle, he was made captain last season, showing the faith his teammates placed in him, and he filled the position with excellence. Jake is also a good student and wherexer he goes success will surely follow. ISABELLE LILMSDEN “All actors arc duntb zchcti beauty plcadeth” It isn’t hard to write about Isabelle, a girl with so many splendid qualities. She has outstanding mus¬ ical talents, a charming personality, a keen sense of humor, and with her gifts she is unusually generous. Just what Lee High would have done without her is hard to say. It is too difficult to estimate her fine (lualities in one statement, so we just say, may she get all she deserxes from life! ROBERT EOSTER Drive thy business, let not thy business drive thee.” “Bob,” is without a doubt, one of the most popular boys in our school. He has a pleasing personality, is dependable, is a go od sport, humorous, and always wears a smile. Here’s good luck and best wishes to you. Bob. AlARY EAGLE If aught obstruct thy course, yet stand not still, But zoind about, till thou hast topped the hill.” Cpon entering High School, Mary set herself the task of becoming one of the leading students in the class, and it is only necessary to refer to her record to see how well she has succeeded. She is saluta- torian of the class of ’31 and one of its most bril¬ liant members. ROBERT BITRNETT ■ ' O healthy mind in a healthy body.” “Bob” always has a smile and is one of the most l) 0 ]iular hoys at Lee High. Quick to respond and a hard worker, he is successful in both athletics and literary work. He is always ready to help others and the best of him goes into whatercr he attempts to do. We hid him a fond farewell and know he will he a great success. .ANN BRADFORD ”Frie)id.s ' hif zeas giznni by nature as a helpmeet, of the Virtues.” Here she comes with a smile for e eryone ! Her sw ' cet disposition has indeed won her a place in the hearts of the Lee High students. Ann is also willing and dependable. If there is any work to he done you can surely count on her. .Ann, the class of ’31 wishes you the best o’luck! BERNARD W ' HITE “ dare do all that bero)nes a )nan; zoho dares do more is none.” .Ah! the athlete! If a game of any sort is in l)rogress, “Bernie” can usually he seen taking a ])rominent part. In his years at Lee High he has been a meml)er of several teams and has always distinguished himself. .As he is industrious, good looking, and manly in hearing, we think that he will sticceed in his future work. Here’s to your success, Bernie! VIRGINIA DRIA ' ER “H shy face is better than a forzoard heart.” “Pat” is a quiet, steady member of the Senior Class. She is a sincere friend and is the possessor of a pleasing personality and a school spirit. Out¬ side of school she is jolly and talkati e. KOBF.RT MATTHEWS ll’ io conquers self is truly conqueror.” “P)ob” is a hoy who has been an asset to Lee High. He has succeeded both in athletics and in literary work. He has done good work on the haskethall team this year, and in addition has edited the Lee High Columns in the city jjaper; he is also associate editor oi the Rfxoku and one of its most faithful contril)utors. He takes duty and jileasure in equal doses and may this lead him to future success. VIRGINIA McGUFFTN “ ' rite gentle Jiiind by gentle deeds is knoicn.” “Jerry” is a sincere and loyal friend and the pos¬ sessor of a sweet and charming nature. .Although “Jerry” is quiet in school, outside she can make just as much noise as anyone. When she goes our Senior Class will lose one of its prettiest memhers. MALCOLM REFl) “It is better for a young man to blush than to turn pale” “Weenie” is one of the most dependable and ac¬ commodating boys we know, although rather shy, everyone who knows him likes him. Somehow we just can’t feature Lee High without him. We loill miss him next year. REBECCA SMITH I ' o be endozoed zeith a benez ' olent disposition a)id to love others zoill alzoays procure love and esteem.” “Becky” is the type of student any school would like to produce. She is quiet and diligent in the class room and, on the outside, a true sport. She has a ready smile for ex ' eryone and is one of Lee High’s most popular girls. Last, but not least, “she is fair to look upon.” TTnTWlTW MAXWF. ' -h WHITLOCK “Be silent alieays zelieii yon doubt your sense .hid speak, tlio’ sure, leitli seeniiiu) diffidenee.” A smile for everyone and a cheery greeting makes for a i)erson, friends in any place as “Max” has pro en to us. Somewhat hashful, he is e er ready to ask unexjiected questions. “Max” is a good scholar and a si)lcndid all around student; our school will miss him. ELIZABETH MOODY “Virtue, the strength and beauty of the soul Is the best gift of heaven.” “Lihhy” is one of the liest sports in our class— and can she play haskethall! The comhination of wit, iiersonality, and a desire to lend a helping hand has made her one of the girls whose comi)any is always desired. HOlkSTON HERNDON “.Afanners impress as they indieate real pozeer.” Houst(jn is alwa ys cheerful, smiling, and willing to hell) everyone. He gives his best in athletics or anything he attem])ts. e wish him as much success in the future as he has had in the ])a.st. VIROINIA WEAVER “To dread no eye, and to suspeet no tongue is the great prerogative of innoeenee.” ’irginia is one of the most sincere, earnest, and faithful students in the class of ’31. Although some¬ what pessimistic she usually comes out victorious regarding her endeavors. May she continue to do this through life. Our best wishes go with her. JETHRO MANLY “For our thoughts at least arc free.” Lee High has found “J. O.” every inch a scholar and togetlier with his i)ersonality and originality he should meet life unafraid. He is also one of the most i)oi)nlar members of our class and has a Indght smile for all. Although we shall miss him, we send him away with ])ride, feeling that he will bring honor to the school. FRANCES TAYLOR “Get 2 ehat you can a)id lehat you get hold.” Frances is rather quiet and reserved, always at¬ tending to her own business, hut has filled her niche cheerfidly and willingly. MAldHE MARPLE “Little strokes fell great oaks.” A cheerful, good natured chap; Alaurie, during his sojourn at Lee High, has always been willing to do whatever he could for his school. ' e wish you luck, Maurie, and may you distinguish yourself in your later work. NELLIE REEVES “In struggling zeith misfortune lies the proof of courage.” Nellie has followed the long hard road toward the goal faithfully and well during the four years we have known her. She is always a friend, true, loyal, and unselfish. She is a diligent student and api)lies the maxim, “Whatever is worth doing, is worth doing well.” RANDOLPH LARNER “Industry is the beginniny of zoisdoin. 4 4 4 ♦ 4 ♦ ♦ l an lo]ph has lieen one of the host scholars in his class since his entrance into High School.

MARCARET DOVE “H chatty coinf’aiiion on a journey is as good as a carriage.’’ “Tee” is gay, lo ahle, and charming; very fond ol i)Iaying “hig” jokes, she has made her way into many hearts. Her “Cheerful Little Earful” can he heard long l)eforc she comes into iew. HENRY TCRNAOE “Manners require time, as nothing is more znilgar than haste.” “. play l)oy, a gay hoy,” is Henry who takes life as it comes and turns it all into smiles. His (Georgian drawl and generous “fun making” have helped hrighten the hours for his classmates at Lee High. But there is another side to his character, he is a great reader, and has a keen intellect—keener than he sometimes chooses to show the casual ohser ' er. ELEANOR OAYHART “Actions, looks, zoork, steps, form the alphabet by zehich you may spelt character.” Eleanor, possesses a fine mind as well as a happy disposition. Her talents are many, and she is most free and generous in using them to further the in¬ terests of her class and school. W ' ould we had more Eleanors! ' Excellence is never granted to man but as the rCleard of labor.’ Edwin is quiet, sincere, and straight forward. He has ability and whatever he undertakes he does well. He never seems to get excited—not even over those terrible written lessons. Through his quiet de¬ meanor, hard work, and unfailing willingness to help others Edwin has distinguished hemself. These qualities cannot fail to win friends for him when he has finished school and become engaged in the eco¬ nomic struggles of life. BELVA ROWE Deeds, not zeords.’ Helva is one of the most deserving members of the Senior Class. Her sweet smile is welcomed by every¬ one and her honest efforts in ])erforming her duties at Lee High deserve high i)raisc. We are expecting great things of you, Belva. « ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ « « « ♦ « « n , {)■ LKONARl) CHITTUM .-III (ire needed by eaeli one Xolliing is fair or good alone.” “Bo” lias the true school spirit which every Lee man should have. He has that fighting spirit which won for him the Doran Gold Foothall for the sea¬ son of ’30. P ut this isn’t all. “Bo” is the best hasket- hall center in the state for Class B teams as well as one of the most poi)ular hoys ot the Senior Class. His winning smile will surely he missed next year. JESSIE BE.AR “Novelty has eliarnis that our minds ean hardly seithstand.” Jessie breezes in and out with her merry laugh and cheerful smile, which has endeared her to us all. Good luck to you, Jessie, in all that you undertake! SWINTON STEELE ‘Just being hafpy is a brave thing to do, J. ooking on the bright side rather than the blue,” Here’s one of the liveliest fellows you ever met. Rain or shine he is performing his self-appointed duties of putting every one, teachers and pupils, in a good humor. His arguments are endless. V e shall miss Swinton’s laugh and his genial good na¬ ture. LOIS CRICKARL) “I’ve still got lots of vitality. And that’s the thing that eounts, today.” Lois is another of the quiet, dependable members of our class and she performs her tasks willingly and cheerfully. We wish her success in all that she undertakes. « ♦ ♦ « 4 ' ‘ y THOMAS HASSETT “For all may Itaz ' C, if they dare choose, a glorious life or grave.” Advocate of all that is good and fair, with a smile to greet everyone that he meets, that is “Tom.” His humor and sportsmanshij) have won him ]) 0 ])ularity at Lee High and he will he sincerelv missed. BURNLEY BROCKENRROUGH “Cheerfulness is the badge of true loorth.” “Burn” might well he called the “Sunshine” of the class, for in spite of her many duties, one can always hear her merry laugh. We wish for her the best which life can give. Her personality and ability have stamped her as a leader wherever she goes and may her laugh continue to echo along with her. Valedictory (jUy F. Sutton, Jr. S WE, the Class of 1931, stand tonight on the 1)oi ' der of real life, that imaginary line which separates preparation from action, we are hlled with varied emotions. Sad, indeed, we are, to leave such congenial surroundings and associations; eager, however, to test our ability in life’s struggle; apprehensive somewhat, as to the trials that await us; hut overjoyous, to have attained our hrst stepping-stone towards life’s ultimate goal—Success. One can easily understand the sadness of our hearts, as we, who have been an integral part of old Lee High, depart from it forever and leave the corridors and the classrooms nevermore to echo and resound with our youth¬ ful voices. But though we are leaving, we are not forgetting and the physical aspect of our dear old High School will dwell forever in our hearts and minds. May we pause to bid a sincere farewell to our teachers, those who have so faithfully worked with us and ever set before us an exemplary type of patience and perseverance. They know, and we know, that our debt to them is so great that it can never l)e paid except by our attaining the end for which they have so nobly trained us. l ellow classmates, we shall soon hid each other farewell, an external farewell to he sure, for the character and personality of each of us have imprinted a fond and indelible image in our hearts that not even Time, the greatest of destroyers, can erase. W ' e have hnished our first period of apprenticeship and are about to part; each to betake himself into his separate field and pursue his own course. Though each of us has a different temperament and amlfition, we are all about to seek, to strive for, the main goal of man’s life—Success. Some may measure success in terms of wealth ; others in achievement; hut in the final analysis, one cannot gain anything without first making something of himself. As has been said, “You must l)e something before you can be anything,’’ and the one who makes of him¬ self that which he desires, will have achieved something far greater than mere wealth. In striving for success there are several factors that we must consider if we wish to attain it. T should like to believe that all men are created equal and have equal chances to ol)tain the highest and noblest in life, but if we cannot grant this we believe as Emerson says, “In the nature of the soul is the compensation for the inequalities of condition.’’ Opportunity is not wanting, there is a place and means f(jr all, hut in order to grasp and utilize our opportunities we must have will power, faith, hope, and above all an aim and purpose. Greater and higher things remain to he done than we have yet accomplished. With the careers of such men as Homer, Napoleon, Franklin, and Abraham Lincoln as glowing examples let us not he disheartened but remember that every man has his chance to succeed. With a clean heart, a clear mind, and a firm purpose, a man’s power is inestimable. However, in advancing along life’s highway, there are certain fundamental rules for us to remember. It is especially important for us to select a definite career, develop an admirable personality, employ perseverance in all our undertakings, and he modest regarding our accomplishments. With these things in mind let us go forth into the world prepared to do our best. And now, along with our last good-bye to our teachers a.nd friends, let us leave this promise with our school, that, though we forget many things, we shall always remember these immortal words— “This al)() c all : to thine ownsclf he true, .And it must follow, as the night, the day. Thou canst not then be false to any man.” « Salutatory Mary Eagle AT RONS, teachers, and fellow students of Robert E. Lee High School, I am proud to have the honor and privilege of welcom¬ ing you here tonight to share with us the thrill of the attainment of our hard earned goal—Graduation. Eirst let us see what the word means. To some of us it may mean a series of good times broken by periods of hard study or “crams,” then the hnal pull through by a hair’s breadth. To most of us, however, it means the final attainment of the goal for which we have persistently striven during the four years of our high school careers. However, graduation here is not the end of our education ; it is only the be¬ ginning or the foundation for later attainment. Some will pursue further their education, while others will obtain positions; hut no matter which we choose our education will still continue. What then is education in its broader sense? It does not mean merely the assimilation of facts from books, though this is also desirable. The ideal condition is hook knowledge combined with the ability to apply it. A person who has obtained hook knowledge but cannot make use of it finds himself sorely lacking in this age of common sense and reason. A person who has obtained a high school education according to the modern rules of schooling should be eciuipped to meet his problems (unless he had failed to take advantage of his opportunities) and should not have to say, “This which I might do is made hopeless through my want of weapons.” However, I do not mean to belittle the scholastic side of school life, for I realize its value. Bacon says in his Essays on Studies, that studies perfect nature and are themselves perfected by experience. They serve for three purposes (e. g.) delight, ornament, and ability. However, if used too extensively for ornament they become afi ' ectation. W’e should remember when we sometimes wonder, “what’s the use” that “natural abilities like natural plants need pruning by study.” Our school here, above all else has endeavored to prepare us for life. It has done this by furnishing us with a liberal education. It has striven to promote our general knowledge, to stimulate our interest, and make us think for ourselves. Our school has also proved a character builder. We have had ideals set be¬ fore us by our teachers, which we have tried to follow faithfully. The social side of our school life has also played a large part in moulding our characters. Through daily contact with fellow students we have learned the meanings of the terms “leadership,” “followership,” and “codperation”—three essential qualities of the social life of which we are, some day, to Iiecome a part—and a useful part if we have taken advantage of the educational opportunities offered us here. So in the years to come let us work with zeal and courage, ever loyal to old Lee Hi and to its teachings. Class of ’31, I salute you, truly believing that each one justly merits the place he or she nou ' occupies, and on your behalf, extend a most hearty welcome to our friends here this evenimr. o i ) Class Prophecy HAT special Fate which watches over, as some express it, the lame and the lazy, had indeed turned her benevolent countenance upon Henry Turnage; he had quite unexpectedly fallen heir to the tidy sum of three million dollars. He was not long in possession of this wealth before he l)egan to acquire the restlessness which is not uncommon among many ionaires, and which is inevitable among those having an insatial le curiosity, such as his. Consequently he took up aviation. As soon as he began to inquire into the subject of instruction, he drew ' the notice of Thomas Hassett, advertising manager for Lamer Fields, Inc., (named after Randolph Lamer, the celebrated engineer who constructed them). Mr. Hassett immediately referred him to the well-knowm instructor Robert Foster, and the famous navigator Alaxwell Whitlock. With such zealous ardor did he recommend these famous aviators that Mr. Turnage went to them forthwdth. It was not a great w ' hile after these long separated school-mates w ' ere brought into contact with each other until they began to w ' onder wdiat had I)ecome of the remainder of the class wdiich had graduated from Robert E. Lee High School with them ’way back in 1931, nearly twenty years ago. Now, w-hen curiosity like that which these four possessed, once gets under way, it gathers impetus much like the proverbial rolling stone. It would then follow that they should launch upon a search for the missing class members, and so it was. Shortly thereafter, they read in one of the large dailies, an article wudtten by the famous lady-journalist Elizabeth Moody, setting forth some of the miracles of modern surgery performed by the eminent brain specialist, Dr. Guy Sutton, as¬ sisted by his capable wife and nurse, nee Jessie P ear. As they passed a new ' s-stand, the name of Jethro Manly, the w ' ell-known author of scientihc hction, glared at them, emblazoned on the cover of a popular magazine of world-wide fame. It required little investigation to disclose the w-hereabouts of Edwdn Anderson, serving his government in the capacity of Con¬ sul to Cuba. Likewdse, Helen Row ' an, secretary to the president of the LTnited States; Nellie Reeves and Marjorie Hall, secretaries to the Honorable Houston Herndon and Leonard Chittum, senators from Virginia. While attending a theatre, Mr. Foster was privileged to see Thomas Hawq e on the stage. With his droll antics and inimitable drawd, he had made for himself a w ' arm spot in the hearts of the American people; a spot much like that occupied for many years by Will Rogers. There was no effort entailed in locating Maurice Parker and Bernard W’hite, who, working together, had taken the place as sports dictator at Notre Dame, wdiich had been occupied lyv Knute Rockne while they w ' ere starring for Old Lee High many years before. i gain the newspapers aided the work of recounting the class of 19v l, when they published the account of the latest legal victory of I’urnley J rockenl)rough, America’s foremost lady attorney, who, unaided, had defeated the eminent crimi¬ nal lawyers, Swinton Steele and Robert Rurnett. In the same article reference was made to rulings of Federal Judge William Goodloe. In the Congressional Library, where Margaret McCue was Head Librarian, tbe four who were re-assembling the class, found an intere sting volume. It was a journal by Alary Eagle, giving an exceedingly fine account of the experiments of the great Physicist and Electrical Engineer, Malcolm Reid. They presently brought to light the fact that Alaurie Alarple had entered the field of Automotive Engineering, and had distinguished himself by several valu¬ able contributions to tbe safety of the automobile. At this time in the search it was learned that Isabelle Lumsden and Jacob Hevener were happily married, and having accumulated a modest fortune by thrift and shrewd investments, had retired to a modern farm where they could indulge in their long cherished desire to raise the finest race horses in the world. Ry an intricate bit of tracing it was found that since they had last been heard from by other members of the class, Eleanor Gayhart had become Superintendent of the women’s department of Johns Hopkins Hospital in Raltimore. That Cath¬ erine Johnson had continued the study of her music, and was rapidly becoming one of the world’s foremost composers of operatic music. That Virginia Driver had married a Polish nobleman, and was making her home abroad. That Sarah Wilson had graduated from the Aledical School of Virginia, and was specializing in children’s diseases. That Virginia McGuffin had become Dean of the Women’s Department of one of the large universities. Not long after this, Mr. Turnage received literature from the famous jewelery firm of Taylor : Dove, and upon investigation, found that the members of this firm were none other than Frances Taylor and Alargaret Dove, who had developed singidar ability in the field of commerce. Through correspondence with them he learned the whereabouts of several members of the class whom he had thus far been unable to locate: Rebecca Smith and Ann Rradford were leaders in Social W elfare Work in Greater New York; Relva Rowe was editor of the Department of Home Economics of the ITouion’s Home Companion; Lois Crickard was Pur¬ chasing Agent for Rosenbaum Rrotbers Department Stores, Incorporated, with headquarters in Roston. The Sunday Post contained several wonderful articles by tbe well-known journalist, Robert Matthews, who has been called the second Graham AIcNamee, one of which gave minute details of the fancy dress ball given by Dr. Allen Ayers, the costumes for this social function having been designed by Virginia Weaver who was an expert in this line of work. The advent of these articles brought to a successful close the efforts of the four gentlemen to account for each member of tbeir graduating class of 1931. Now when they had finished, they made a summary of their search; as they did this, they did not fail to notice that without exception every one of their class¬ mates had achieved success in some worthy field. This fact might have been coincidence, but all the four believed—and having a knowledge of the splendid workings of their Alma Alater, had reason to l)elieve—that the success of the graduates of Lee High was l)y no means coincidence, but the result of the thorough training received during their high school days.

Allen Ayres The Last Will and Testament of the Class of 1931 E, THE members of the Senior Class of Robert E. Lee High School of the City of Staunton, in the State of Virginia, after years of industrious application and toil, having come at last to the time for which we have striven, and desiring to make disposi¬ tion of all of our rights and interests as hereinafter set out, do hereby make, publish, and declare this as and for our last will and testament, hereby revoking and annulling any other will or intention that we may at any time heretofore have had. iTEJvr—To the superintendent, the principal, and the faculty, for all they have done for us throughout our high school career, we leave our best regards and deepest appreciation.

We listened while the others told Of trials hard to face, Hut never have we faltered, Since first we took their place. They told us of the many. Who had gone forth to fame, And how they had upheld Their school’s immortal name. S(j day hy day we studied hard. And never thought of turning Away from paths tho’ long they were. Which led us on to learning. And as the weeks and months went hy, We each could plainly see. Why every student pledged himself To uphold dear “Old Lee.” And now we’ve all hut reached the goal, Hy much hard work and often tears; i nd may these l)ring a rich reward To each of us in after years. Our class has proved a gallant one And for each girl and hoy Life seems to he a glorious thing. So filled with hope and joy. Farewell, Old Lee, we leave thee now. Our merry times, our happy hours, Hut in our hearts forevermore We’ll wreathe thy memory round with Flowers. Literary Lee Orchestra History HL orchestra, a prominent organization at Lee, is completing its fourth year. During the present session the orchestra has been ciuite active. The student body was entertained with special numbers at one of the assembly exercises last fall and selected music was also rendered at the annual Christmas program spon¬ sored l)y the music deitartment. When the annual senior play was given in the Lee auditorium last month, the splendid performance of the musicians received commendation from many. The orchestra was also making preparations for the annual spring concert, but this event has been postponed in¬ definitely because of the illness of Miss Gladys E. Oliver, the director. During the session of 1927-’28, the orchestra was organized under the direc¬ tion of Miss M. Virginia F ' otts, with seven members. The initial performance was given in a concert on April 4, in the Lee auditorium. The entertainment showed the result f)f good training and much practice. The first members of the organiza¬ tion were: president, George F. Earman, Jr., drums; Josephine Smith, piano; Isabelle Lumsden, violin; Thomas Cox, violin; Fred Black, trumpet; Rudolph Bumgardner, saxophone, and David Shelton, saxophone. Miss Oliver became director of the orchestra at the start of the 1928-’29 ses¬ sion and is completing her third year in that capacity. The memhership increased to twelve and the following officers were elected; David Shelton, president; Mau¬ rice Parker, vice-president; and Isal)elle Lumsden, secretary-treasurer. The orches¬ tra was a credit to Lee with each appearance. Those composing the orchestra that year were: Thomas Cox, John Clem, Louise Randol, and William Waide, violins; Isabelle Lumsden, piano ; Bobby Snead, drums ; George Doome, Raymond Wymer, and Maurice Parker, cornets; David Shelton and John Hanna, saxophones. Seventeen members made up the organization during the 1929-’30 term. The newly elected officers were : Maurice Parker, president; Thomas Cox, vice-presi¬ dent; and Virginia McGuffin, secretary. The following composed the orchestra: Isahelle Lumsden, piano; Thomas Cox, Forest Harper, James Harper, Monroe Hollis, Virginia VIcGuffin, Martin Manch, and Cyrus Reeves, violins; Gordon Cleveland and Conrad Harris, mandolins; Randolph Knowles and John Hanna, saxophones; George Doome, Maurice Parker, and Raymond Wymer, trumpets; Robert Foster, xylophone; Robert Snead, drums. This session, which is fast drawing to a close, the orchestra has the follow¬ ing officers: Robert Foster, president; Robert Snead, vice-president; and Isabelle Lumsden, secretary-treasurer. The present memhership of nineteen includes: Raymond Wymer, Earl Wymer, Maurice Parker, George Doome, and Robert Rakle, cornets; Robert Snead, drums; Margaret Kellar, piano; Robert Foster, xlophone ; Boyce Jarman, flute; Conrad Harris and Gordon Cleveland, mandolins; Thomas Cox, James Harper, Monroe Hollis, Gertrude Lamer, Martin Manch, and Cyrus Reeves, violins; Harry Smith and Jack Fretwell, saxophones. Choosing Wisely l ' ' Li;Ai ()K GaYII ART S WISDOM suptM ' ior to folly? This is a question that puzzles the thoughtful young- people of today. The thought may not he expressed openly hut many of us are brought to the test, at least, once a week and sometimes more frequently. W hen we are un¬ decided as to whether we should follow the crowd or not isn’t that comparing our wisdom with our desire for folly? C(m- tradictory as it may sound, one does not have to have a brilliant mind to he wise. Of course, if asked the direct (|uestion, every one will sav that wisdom is far superior to folly. Rut, if actually put to the test do thev prove and strengthen the fact that wisdom excels folly? The well-known word “courage” should always he linked with “wisdom.” For without wisdom we cannot he courageous and without courage we cannot act wisely. One is dependent upon the other. How can wisdom he explained? For a hoy or girl to he called the most studious member of the school or class, is not necessarily a mark of wisdom; hut, when he knows a certain thing is against the rules of the school or in his judg¬ ment improper, and refuses unhesitatingly and openly do it, then he is acting wiselv. Another outstanding characteristic of wisdom is the ability to look ahead— vision. If one is wise he will stop to think before plunging head-long into some¬ thing; will give some thought to the outcome. x ' V few minutes forethought on our part will often change our actions. If one would hut change that old and trite excuse, “hut I didn’t think” to “hut I should think,” how much better off we should all be. Often we are invited to join a crowd that thinks it will get a great thrill out of conduct which we know is unbecoming; is it zvisdoin or is it cotvardicc to re¬ fuse to join them? Are we “poor sports,” “sissies,” “mothers’ darlings,” if when we know what is right, we stand up for it? What do we gain if we are able to act wisely? Some may sav, if you don’t do what the rest of us do we don’t desire you in our company. We don’t wish a “wet blanket” in our crowd. Even so, aren’t we l)etter off ' alone than in a crowd doing the things which do not have our approval just in order to l)e called “good sports?” We must do this, and we must do that if we want to l)e popular, we say. How often has this been presented as an excuse for doing what should not have been done. Remem¬ ber a strong character is the result of wise choosing! Then, too, we not only develop a strong character by choosing and acting wisely but we also influence others, just as the latest fa.shions and the ])opular sports have followers and imitators so will one who tries always to choose the wisest, whether in the home, school, or club have followers. Isn’t it just as easy to Ije the leader in sensible, character building actions as it is in foolish and questionable actions? Let us keep always before us these words of I ' roude :— “You can’t develop a character by dreaming; you must hammer and forge your¬ self one.” As Uncle Jasper Sees It Mary Eagle I’s jes been studyin’ ’l)out dis modern worl’, 1 tell you now, m ’ mind’s done in a whirl, ’Cause when I done sot on ter one conclusion I hnd it jes a vanishin’ illusion. First, as the wise ole Newton said, you could Make feathers fall as fast as wood, lly applyin’ of his queer manipulation The thing he calls his gravitation. Then there’s Einstein, beatenest yet, With his relativity, an’ all of thet ’Course no one knows what’s all about It’s a great thing, though; they’ve no doubt. IJen there’s Darwin with his evolution I’ut I aint claimin’ kin ter no Lilliputian Let it be as it’s writ in de Good Book; I’s content From ole Ham to claim my descent. Again there’s de folks that reads the stars; And always some fools a’ goin’ ter Mars, ’Course that’s their business; aint none o’mine. But dis ole nigger’s quite content to stay behin’. Next comes de scientists’ pet, the molecules They teach ’em in the modern schools ’Cause even your chair’s full of ’em dying ’round De pesky horde, with neither sight nor sound. Ts even scared to sleep at night ’Sposin if they would start a hght And my head would be their l)attle-field. An’ me a’quivering, all my blood congealed. Says I give me de good ole days And all de good, old fashioned ways When things is what they seems to be, And theories—where they can’t bother me ! Drifting Into Dreamland CaTIIKRINE joiTNSON T LAST 1 was to have my greatest desire fulfilled—I was to hear Paderewski play ! For years I had dreamed of hearing this won¬ derful artist, hut had almost despaired of ever doing so. Imagine my surprise and joy, when this opportunity came to me. A hush fell over the audience as the artist appeared and walked to the piano. He sat for a moment with hands poised fore striking the first chord of his opening number. As the applause died away I found myself surrounded l)y palm trees. I was leisurely walking along the sands of India, and was listening to the distant strains of “The Song of India.” Gently the breezes wafted the chimes of the temple hells to my ears and I paused enchanted. Suddenly, the chimes of the gentle bells were replaced by the loud toll of alarms and the gentle breeze was replaced by a furious wind. Smoke, fire, con fusion; volleys of guns; clash of bayonets; rolling of l)arrels; and the l)eat of drums. All to the accompaniment of Rachmaninofif’s “Prelude in C Sharp Alinor.” Immediately after the terrific peal of a tolling bell, a calm prevailed, seeming to signify the peace of a great nation after a period of strife. Then water softly swish-swashed against the banks of the shore, as I sat listening to “The Blue Danube Waltz.” Overhead the sky looked like a mass of stars against the pale light of the moon. Far out from the shore, the little sail boats appeared like small white specks as they glided silently over the water, which crooned a melody as it babbled along. Walking through the deserted streets of a Norwegian village, I was attracted by the soft strains of the “Norwegian Lullaby,” which were issuing from the open window of a small cottage. Overcome by curiosity, I stepped to the window and looked in upon a scene of perfect serenity. In a dimly lighted room sat a mother softly singing to her babe in her arms. Her cheek was pressed against the child’s soft, golden curls and her eyes shone with the light of motherly love. Nowhere on earth, I thought, could I find a more beautiful scene than this one in the humble cottage. Soft, golden moonlight; dim star lit skies; a haunting melody and youthful love furnished the background for Schubert’s “Serenade.” In a corner mist ' with dew and fragrant with the scent of roses sat a couple wholly under the magic spell of love. They were so absorbed in each other and in their newly found treasure that they were unaware of anything else. Not a word was spoken to mar the sacredness of the scene. Snow, blinding snow, blowing against the form of a man who, holding a child to his bosom, was trying to struggle forward. Straining on and on, he fell once, twice, a third time. Each time taking the hardest knock himself to protect the child. Thus—the picture presented Iw Schubert’s “Erlking,” that beautiful piece which never fails to thrill. Softly and sweetly, yes, ever so sweetly, the strains of “A Love Dream” filled the air. Not shaping itself into any picture, this melody ran on and on, soothinglw Suddenly aroused from my dreams by thunderous applause, I saw the famous artist gracefully bowing. Had all this been a dream? For two hours I had been joyfully and peacefully fioating and “drifting in dreamland.” A dreamland created by a great master. He Would be an Author Hknry L. Ti’knagk TTC) STEINI’KRG sat at a make-shift desk in that attic room wliich he chose to call his “study” ; before him was scattered a number of closely penciled pages—penciled, because the ancient typewriter at his elbow had passed its age of usefulness. He had ceased writing, to sketch a magazine cover; on this he had emblazoned the notice: “A New Novel of Intrigue, by Otto Steinberg.” The very tlunight was like wine to his being. In short, Otto had ambition to become an author. He ended his dream and surveyed the scattered sheets before him ; these were the notes that were to bring him to the height of his career (as he called it) ; as he scanned them his face beamed with satisfaction. When he had read them through and brought his desk to some semblance of order, he started to write. In his very best language he began the story of Winston Rose. “This Winston Rose,” thought Otto, “is like me, a ycning author whf)se talent is not fully recognized or appreciated ; but there the similarity between us ends, for his talent exists in his own imagination—mine does not.” Otto had a very dehnite aim in writing the story of Winston Rose ; namely, to ])lease the jaded taste of short story readers at large, and by so doing t(j assure his own career. He did not doubt that as soon as he released the story, a host of enterprising editors would clamor, each to be the first to publish it. l’ ut let us see what this story was, which, according to its author, was to be so sensational. VV ' inston, as Otto characterized him, was an indift ' erently successful poet attached to the staff of a large magazine. He had made his way more through his influence over the editor in charge of his department than by actual ability or poetic genius: but there came a time when his friend, the editor, was replaced by f)ne who was by no means so easily influenced to show appreciation for the miser¬ able contributions of a self-esteemed poet. Winston, however, felt so sure of his position by this time that he blithely prepared and sent in another ( and certainly no superior one) of his sentimental sonnets. At this point in the story, Otto’s paternal pride and satisfaction in his charac¬ ter reached its })eak. “For,” he reasoned, “any reader would expect the hard- boiled editor to read a few lines of the sonnet and demand of his secretary, ‘Why does this magazine pay good money to the man who wrote this stuff? Send him word he’s fired !’ Rut,” went on Otto, waxing eloquent. “T won’t have it that way. This editor ‘has nothing of the bear but the skin’—and perhaps the voice. Mv public is sure to like this unexpected attitude. ‘Surprise is the Elixir of Fife.’ ” (()ne of his original maxims, of which he was very proud. ) Consequently, when the editor picked up the latest sonnet from the pen of the hero and read the dog¬ gerel, he commented favorably. Cupid is a little Imp W ho floats about like a blimj), Striking love into the heart (Ever such a tender part) Of any who comes his way. Oh, hut how he likes to plaj ' ! •All the time he flits about Often causing love to sprout. Its tricks, escapades, and ])ranks Until his mamma, Venus, spanks ; Then he’s sober for a while. But soon again he dons his smile And continues in his wanton path Leaving love for the aftermath. “Humph!” ejaculated the editor; and again, “Humph!” This time more forcefully than before. “The kid that sent this in may be what we want ff)r that new department—go tell him 1 want to see him right away.” And so Otto started Winston Rose on that coveted but elusive bridle ] ath known variously as “The road to success,” “The way to fame,” and other glow¬ ing titles. In the story of his hero he dwelt with great bursts of youthful elocpience upon the “human interest” parts, and upon the trials of a young author. ( Perhaps this was satire to prod the faculties of an indifferent world of readers to the recozni- tion of many young authors like Winston—and Otto.) When at last the masterful story was finished, and Otto had succeeded in re¬ viving the age-stricken typewriter long enough to make a presentable manuscript, he drew from his meager savings the sum of eighty-five dollars and prepared to go forth and sell his story. He w ' ould give no time-economizing editor an oppor¬ tunity to read his story so hastily as to miss its attractions. He w ' ould personall}’ present it. He put the valuable manuscript in a battered brief case, filled with waste paper to give it a business-like bulk, and, after much nervous delay, set out for Philadelphia; he intended to try the Saturday Evening Post first. The man sitting at the desk, under a picture of Benjamin Franklin, certainly looked uncompromising, thought Otto, while he sat anxiously watching him read the story. At length the terse successor of benevolent old “Ben” finished reading, pursed his lips a moment, and said, “Pll give you five dollars for this; maybe someone in the Postscript department can make something of it.” Otto retired from the office in high dudgeon. That editor must have been narrow-minded ; so he tried next the New York office of the American Magazine. Now, according to Otto’s theory stated in “Surprise is the Elixir of Life” you, the reader, would have every right to expect that the editor of The American would accept the manuscript for a handsome sum—but this is the time that poor Otto’s theory failed; he did not accept it; neither did the editor of Colliers; nor that of Cosmopolitan; nor those of several other magazines to whom he applied. You may also have doubts as to what, in the meantime, had become of the eighty-five dollars on which Otto had hoped to complete his trip. Well, so did he ; it was gone, and he being unused to the ways of the city, had doubts as to where it had gone. You would fully expect that Otto, sadder and wiser (as they say) should work his way home to be content with a farmer’s life ever afterward. But no! Now for the surprise theory . He wired home for money, and returned to his “study,” confident that he could yet write a story that would sweep even un¬ appreciative publishers completely from their feet, and lift ' the name of ()tto Steinberg to the stars. Alas, poor Otto ! Dawn Elizabeth Moody I stood upon the mountain top And saw a fierce and liloody fight; The golden fiery liosts of Dawn, x gainst the army of the niglit. I saw the gleaming sword of Dawn Pierce its dark and war-like foe; I saw ' it falter, run and fall, Pefore that brilliant dazzling glow. I watched the final gory fight. Dawn rushing onw ' ard like a fiood. And crushing out the hosts of night, x nd leaving there a trail of lilood. Athletics 1 -i ■ “ ' .

Ten wearers of the coveted football monogram returned to the fold. Drilling in calisthenics and fundamentals of football occupied the attention of the “i)igskin” aspirants for the first two weeks. “The Fighting Leemen” pried the lid off the football season on Octo¬ ber 3rd by running roughshod over the Fishburne Scrubs to the tune ol 38 to 0 score. The sterling team-work of Lee was remarkable. October 10th found the eleven Leemen journeying down the valley to play Buena Vista Hi. After having their record smeared the previous two years by their opponents, the fury of the blue and white was at last unleashed and was not content until a 43 to 0 margin had been piled up. The Lee scrubs got a rather lengthy workout in this game. The following week Lee encountered the “Mountaineers” of Clifton Forge Hi, away from the home lair. The Lee eleven was listless and put up a ragged exhibition of the fall pastime, the score wuis 18 to 0 at the half, in favor of Clifton Forge. “The Fighting Leemen ' staged an uphill battle the second half, hut the margin was too large to overcome. After outplaying their o])ponents most of the second half, the blue and white gridiron squad had to accept the short end of a 18 to 6 score. Hopes of Lee followers for a District A title were weakened as the result of this defeat. The scorning rampage of the lads sporting the blue and white colors got under way again on October 24th, when after a week of strenuous practice, the championship Company “C” of S. M. A., who had triumphed over Lee the previous season, had to fall by the wayside by a 32 to 0 count. Fine interference for the Lee backs paved the way for the five touchdowns I)iled up by the Leemen. On Octobe r 31st, the blue and white gridiron machine took to the road again and crossed the Blue Ridge to line up for the opening kick-off against their traditional rivals, the big- orange eleven of Lane Hi of Charlotesville, who had never been trounced before by “The Fighting Leemen” on their home grounds. Raying little heed to previous records, the Valley lads from Staunton took charge of the situation soon after the initial wdiistle and when the smoke of the gridiron battle had blown o er, the locals had a 12 to 0 ictory safely tucked away. The tenth renewal of the “Valley High School Football Classic” had at last arrived, the annual clash with our fierce rivals, “The Blue Streaks” of Harrisonburg Hi from up the X’alley, took place on November 7th, on the S. M. A. field. A.fter being humbled in the two previous annual tussles by being held to scoreless ties by our rivals, Lee was not to be denied this time and Harrisonburg was trampled underneath a 25 to 6 onslaught. Only after the Lee line had been weakened by frequent substitutions were the “Blue Streaks” able to rush over a tallv in the final moments of play. The Lee football cohorts exchanged tackles, kick-offs, and what not with their old city rivals, V. S. D. B., on Saturday, November ISth, of the following week in their last scheduled set to. Both elevens put up a sluggish exhibition and it looked as if the record of the Lee- ' ' men would be marred by a sctireless tic with a supposed weaker opponent. However, late in the second half the midget l)lue and white halfback slipped off from no where to cross the last strip of white lines to register a tally, leaving the secondary defense of the Silent Lads staring at the atmosphere. The goal was kicked and another engagement was marked up in the won column. f As the result of the standings at the close of the District IV “pigskin” schedule, Lee was ■ still in the midst of the scramble for the coveted title. To determine the District title the Lee ' gridiron hopefuls had to run up again against the eleven “M(nmtaineers” of Clifton Forge Hi on a neutral field at Lexington. A huge crowd accompanied the Leemen in their quest of the title. The Lee eleven fought every inch of the way. A l)ad break in the first quarter gave Clifton Forge a safety. Poor blocking by Lee throughout the encounter cost the back- ficld considerable groundage before they could get clear of the line of scrimmage. On the dcd ' ense,_ however, the blue and white line made a valiant stand against the repeated offensives of the “Mountaineers.” Late in the fourth iieriod one of the local flanks was boxed in, resulting in a score for Clifton Forge. The final whistle blew soon afterward with Lee on the wrong end of an 8 to 0 verdict. -.T ' - s? ’V’ JACOB HEVENER CAPTAIN AND TACKLE Jake’s coolness while under fire and his remarkable steerage throughout the past season accounted for many of the ’ictories chalked up hy Lee. His all around playing on both de¬ fense and offense, gave him a position on the All-State Class “B” mythical football team, a great honor, indeed. Hevener was a keen interpreter of the rules of the game, and the fine sjiirit he displayed, won for him tim and time again the admiration of both the officials and crowds. The confidence of his team-mates and friends was not misplaced, and he generally came through with flying colors. A big gaj) in the line will he left when Jake graduates this June, so we hid a fond farewell to one of the most consistent linesmen we have seen around thse parts. JOHN BARBEE CAPTAIN-ELECT AND HALFBACK Lee should welcome John Tyler liack to the fold next fall with outstretched arms. After three years of campaigning on far and distant gridirons for the blue and white banner, Barbee has one more season in the fall sport before he packs up his uniform lor good. A triple threat hackfield star of note, John Tyler usually elbowed his way into the limelight, when least expected. Tyler seldom misses a tackle, and on the offensive is usually in the midst of everything. By lieing a dependable ground-gainer when called upon and on the throwing or receiving ends of jiasses, he is a constant menace to opposing teams, ' e expect to hear great things from him next year. GRAHAH TANNEHILL OUARD The introduction of Graham brings before us one of the main reasons why we had such a large attendance of the fair sex at our games last fall. His brilliant playing in every game attracted the attention of everyone. He had a habit of ripping the opposing front wall to shreds and spilling the hall carrier before he could get fairly started. Graham fought hard and long, giving himself the reputation of being one of the most scrappy guards in Valley football circles. His fast running interference on those off tackle slants of ours left many landing on their ear, when they got in the way. VN’e regret very much to lose this scrappy linesman this year and we are positive that L.ec Hi will miss a hard fighter next year. LEONAKI) CHITTLAf END “Bo Chittum received the gold football given for being the best all round player on the Lee eleven this season, which clearly shows his worth and dependahility to his fellow team¬ mates. Besides this honor, Chittum was chosen captain and end on the All-State Class “B mythical football team. His lanky, outstretched arms were adept at snatching passes from out of the ozone at difficult angles. 0])posing teams generally lost plenty of yardage when they attempted to trot around his dank. “Bo” could boot the “pigskin” to far and distant regions when called upon and ranked on par with the best high school kickers in the state. Groans were usually heard when “Bo” would block an opposing linesman out of a play around his side of the line. W e wish you the best o’ luck, “Bo,” in whatever the future holds for you. ROBERT BURNETT IWCKLE Playing his second season on the varsity, Bob showed himself to be a steady performer in every respect. He took special delight in messing up i)lays over his part of the front line ranks, and when an opposing backfield man was tackled he felt the effects for a good while. W hen the going was at its w’orst, Boh was in there givitig encouragement to his fellow lines¬ men. He wrought havoc in the ranks of the opposing line by his stonewall defense and bat¬ tering ram antics on the offense. No matter what the odds were or the situations that arose. Bob was always giving his best for the blue and white. It is needless to say that he will be greatly missed next year. BERNARD WHITE END “Bernie” completed his third season of sporting the blue and white colors at his end position and handled himself like a veteran should. It was a sight to behold him dash about from nowhere and snag passes that counted for long gains, and then his splendid interference for the Lee backs can hardly be excelled. W’e have yet to see his equal as a blocked in the open field ; often he would cut down an opposing secondary defense man ; that meant more than one touchdowm for Lee. “Bernie” was always down under punts, and a safety man found it hard to pivot by him, usually being brought down to dear old mother earth wdth a dull thud as the result of a Hying tackle. Our best wishes go with him in whatever he may endeavor to do in the future, and w-e know he will make good. JOHN HANNA CENTER This was John ' s first season as a regular, and he showed up well while under fire. The failure of other teams to gain on center line bucks may be laid indirectly to him. In hacking- up the line, “Joe” was continually where the opposing eleven did not w ' ant him to be, and thus he smeared his share of opponents’ play. He was a stalwart on the offense, his defense against forward passes over the center of the line was excellent, while hy continually shifting on the defense he caused the o])position no little concern. We shall w-elcome back next fall a center, whose passes to the hackfield were unerring. Lbdess we miss our guess, we are going to hear great things from him. ♦ t ♦ ♦ � f ♦ « « « « ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ « ♦ � ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ « ♦ ♦ � ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ � � « J ♦ HAl.L TANNEMILL CUAKD I ' hc skill with which Hall haiullcd himself in the middle of the first line of defense was mar elons. Thongh he was seldom seen hy those on the sidelines hecanse of the ohsenrity of his position, he repeatedly covered himself with all the glory and was more often felt hy the other teams. His low ' defensive tactics served him in good stead. Hall’s steady blocking in the open field accoimted for many of the long gains made on those thrnsts off the tackles. I’lays over his side of the front line territory w ' erc spoiled in the making. lEfing one of the fastest men on the gridiron squad, something had to crack when he came out of the line running interference and it was usually an opponent falling hard hy the wayside. It is use¬ less to re])eat that a successor for him will he hard to locate next season. JIILLIE .MITCHELL 1ACKLE This was (lator’s second season on the football scpiad and the first time he has won his coveted monogram in the fall sport. He was a reserve linesman and filled in w ' ell in differ¬ ent berths during the season. More than once replacements were needed in the line, and Mitchell was always eager to get in the fray and pro -ed his worth to followers of the hhie and wdiite banner. On offense, “Ciator” knew wdiat was to he done and i)erformed it nobly, while he also displayed craftiness when on the defensive. Several husky football stars kei)t him out of the spotlight this season, but he should not be denied next season. W hen next I all rcdls around again we exi)ect to find “Catc r” a regular in the line, bringing greater fame to Lee Hi. HOUSTON HERNDON ] ' UELU. CK flouston has tried out for the football team on three different occasions, but has had to drop out early in the season each time, due to injuries received to his trick knee. W’c ad¬ mire him for the plucky attitude always displayed. He was prominent in the scrap for the fullback i)osition in the early season workouts and games. The backficld strength was gi en a rude jolt when he had to wdthdraw ' this season. Llouston revealed plenty ' of dri e in each instance when he was able to tuck the “pigskin” under his arm and was the cause of many much needed gains. Plenty of fight was displayed behind every play, and wdien this husky fullback smashed the opjiosing line, something usually gave way, and it wasn’t him. The Lee backficld W ' ill surely be handicapped by the loss of his line-bucking next year. HARRY BURNETT FULLBACK “I’ete” is another gridiron hopcfid that has previously tried out for the varsity, but found wanting. He could not be denied this season, so saw plenty of action. When “Pete” got hold of the ball he knew how to do things and go places, and in consequence the foot¬ ball throngs were brought to their feet time and time again by his shifty broken field ])rances. .“X consistent i)crformer in the fullback I ' ost, he cf)uld smash the line at random, and could do his part when a track play or triple pass was signaled for. “Pete” backed up his line cohorts in si)lendid fashion, was cpiick in diagnosing play ' s of the ri al elevens, and t(jok i)Ieasnre in breaking up their forward pass attacks. He will be back to carry on with the “Fighting Lcemen,” and we wish him success. WILLIAM MOORE yUAKTEKHACK “Friend” climaxed his fourth and last season on the gridiron, wearing the blue and white colors with a hlazc of glory. His all round ability gave him honorable mention on the All-State Class “11” mythical footI)all team. “Friend ' s” splendid fighting prevailed on all occasions, and this made him feared by foes far and wide. Whether it was to skirt the ends, buck the line, smash the tackles, or pull a triple pass, he was always there with the goods. His generalship accounts for the fact that Lee of 1930 was the greatest scoring machine in the annals of the school. A deceptive ball carrier and a hard, clean tackier, his presence was always known earlv. W e wish you all the success that life may have in store for yem, “Friend.” “TONY” MARINO HALFBACK Playing his second year of arsity football, “Tony” etched his name in the hearts of Lee followers by his wonderful playing in every game. His weaving style of broken field scam])ers kept the secondary defense of Lee oi)ponents guessing. His hard and deadly tack¬ ling had many bm])ing or carried off the field before they knew what it was all about. .As a blocker, “Tony” can hardly he surpassed. When the going was roughest or at the brightest outlook, “Tony” w ' ould always come up smiling. After all the cheers and echoes of the va¬ rious games, Tony still remained the quiet, good natured lad that he is. We admire you for it, “Tony.” He will also he hack next year, and wq all know that he will he a great help. JOSEPH KINNEY HALF ' BACK Though “Little Joe” is the size of a half-pint, he has brought loads of terror to the rival teams the past two seasons. “Little Joe” was the leading scorer of the l)lue and white cohorts; crossing the last white strij) twelve times during the season, for nearly half of the team’s total. He is one of the best twisting midget halfbacks seen around here for many a day. Crouching low ' behind his interference, “Little Joe” would slip off tackle time and time again for touchdowns before the opposition knew what was taking place. He kept his half- hack territory on the defense w ' ell guarded from passes at all times. Once in a while he would boh up on the receiving end of a forward pass. Y’e are exceedingly lucky in having “Little Joe” hack to play for old Lee Hi next season, and know that he will again throw terror in opposing elevens. COACH A. E. DORAN This was Coach Doran’s fourth year at the reins of the blue and white football machine, and once again his charges proved themselves superior to anything in the Valley. With ten veterans on hand at the start of the season. Coach moulded them into the highest scoring eleven in all Lee history. He was not satisfied wdth the season’s outcome until his gridiron warriors w ' erc turned back in the finals of the District IV championshii). Requiring strict discipline at all times, the Coach won the respect, confidence, and trust of those closely asso¬ ciated with him. His lessons in fair play and sportsmanship wbll always he rememlrered. Above all, “Doc” is a good loser, and took the breaks in the football campaign as they came, which explains why he is held in such high esteem by the student body and friends. In severing our tics of friendship and association, we wash you all the hap])iness and success in the world, “Coach.” NELSON GOODLOE and MADCOLM REID MANAGERS In Nelson and Malcolm, Lee had another pair of de])cndable managers this season. It always seemed as if one was trying to outdo the other in the matter of getting the most work done. They w ' crc usually helping out in every w ' ay possible, showing their decided willingness to co-operate. Their ever ready cheerfulness and fine spirit w ' ere displayed on every occasion. Fighting just as hard as those on the field in football togs w’as the attitude often displayed by these capable cohorts of the squad. Lanky Reid’s i)leasantncss will be missed next year, while we shall he pleased to have Nelson back with us. mMi 4 A f iQ. 9 10 A m mm mm M 0 ?

In the o])cning game, after two w eeks of strenuous practice, Lee trimmed the highly touted Y. AI. C. A. Seniors, 22 to 21, staging an up¬ hill skirmish all the way. Just before the Christmas recess began, the Alumni, with several college stars in their ranks, were spanked to the tune of a 19 to 12 count. After the holidays, Lee journeyed across the ridge on January 9th in its initial District lA’ game, and trounced an old rival. Lane Hi, by a top-heavy score of 17 to 7. On January 13th, the Blue and White passed and shot their way to an overwhelming ictory over “The Blue Streaks” of Harrisonburg Hi on the home floor. The final verdict w ' as 41 to 18 in favor of Lee. d ' he strong undefeated Covington Hi outfit was next added to the list, in one of the best played games of the season, Lee taking them into camp by a 25 to 3 margin. Lee failed to get started in its next game, wdiich was with V. S. 1). B. After staging a brilliant comeback near the close of the second half, Lee had to taste defeat for the first time, 21-15. Playing on the home court January 27th, the Blue and Y ' hite hoop artists got the re- engc they were seeking for by outscoring Wilson Hi, of Waynesboro, District champs the previous year, 22 to 20 in a tussle replete with thrills. With the scrubs seeing plenty of action, Bridgewater Hi was badly beaten, 40 to 19, in the next scheduled fray. hehruary 3rd found the Charlottesville “Fives” filling in an open date for the Leemen. . flurry of double deckers sent the famed visitors home on the short end of a 45 to 15 score. Playing away from the home lair on February Oth for the first time in nearly a month, Buchanan Hi, 1930 (undefeated) Class B chami)s, was encountered. The Leemen wilted before the snapjjy passing ot their o])])onents and their shifty zone defense. Lee came home on the wrong end of a 19 to 12 scrap. ♦ t 4 4 4 t 4 f 4 ♦ « 4 4 4 4 I 4 4 t 4 4 4 f t • t I 4 f 4 f « t ft ft ft 4 9 In the next District I ’ set-to, S. I).

Trailing hopelessly behind at the half 15 to 9, the fury of the Blue and hitc tornado could not he denied, and the Silent Lads were smothered in the mire of a 21 to 15 l icking. Back in the midst of the race for the District title, the Lee courtmen had at last hit their stride, and this time Lane Hi, of Charlottesville, had to fall hy the wayside as the result of a 25-17 trouncing. The championship Co. “C,” of S. M. A., was the next victim of the Lee dribblers, being soundly trounced 26-18. Journeying to play the “Blue Streaks,” of Harrisonburg Hi, in a return skirmish, “The Five Leemen” had difficulty in locating the rim, barely nosing out an 8 to 7 victory. The long heralded visit of “The Fighting Leemen” to the stronghold of “The Little Ciiants,” of Wilson Hi, of Waynesboro, resulted in the Blue and White coming out oir top, 10-7. W ith their slump a thing of the past, the Blue and W hite court squad settled down to do things and go places. Bridgewater lost to Lee, 25 to 6, in the closing game of the District campaign. Playing in the finals of the District I ' tournament at the S. M. A. gymnasium, February 28th, Waynesboro Hi had to falter before the onslaught of the lads clad in the Blue and White, 29-10. The highly-rated Eastern Hi quint, co-champions of W ashington, 1). C., could only eke out a 29 to 20 margin over the Leemen in the opening round of the South Atlantic Prep and High School basketball tournament, as the result of long-range shooting. The “Fighting Leemen” were extremely fortunate in having the State Class “B” Tourn¬ ament (Virginia High School Athletic and Literary League) played in the home lair. With the wholehearted hacking of the home crowd as an added incentive, Virginia High, of Bristol, wavered before the furious sharpshooting of the Lee tossers to the tune of a 56 to 21 count, in one of the preliminary clashes. When every thing looked dark and dreary in the State Class “B” finals with the Yellow-Jackets, of Fredericksburg Hi, a scoring rampage was unleashed that the visitors were unahle to stop. Lee clinched the Class “B” title hy a 54 to 19 triumph. The Lee squad took to the road once again to play the Blue and Gold Typhoon hasketeers of Newport News Hi, Class “A” title-holders, for the state chamiuonship. Though repelled 29 to 16, Lee carried the fight to the home team and were getting fresher as the game drew to a close.

There have been many tall centers against him, but few to out-jamb him. The taller they were, the higher Chittum would jump. This and his ability to shoot under-basket shots, has been instrumental in winning many of the games. He was liked and looked up to by the other members of the team, as shown through his election to captain for this year. He led the team through a hard schedule to win State Championship this year, and made All-State Center himself. V herever you go next year we will wish you luck, and will miss you greatly, “Bo.” HOWARD HANNA nU.VKD—C.M’TAIN-ICLECT “Little Bo,” as he is called by the others, has been out for three years. He was substi¬ tuted for two years, but that didn ' t discourage him a bit. He worked all the harder to come out on the top this year and make the first squad. He is the best little guard Lee has ever had. Very few got past him to make shots. He played the same brand o f ball in every game, always cool and quick to sec a break, and quick to take advantage of it. It was this coolness and quickness which won for him the position as guard on the All-State team. His coolness and modesty so won the admiration of his team-mates, that they elected him captain for next year. Every one is glad to know you will be with us next year, and we all wish you luck, “Little Bo.” MAURICE PARKER l- ' ORWARD “M OSes” had never played basketball at all until year before last, but he showed us in a short while that he could play. His fast floor work and accurate shooting and passing was a great asset to the team. He fought hard all the time, which means a great deal to any team. He more than i)roved he could play basketball this year by making forward on the second All-State team. We hate to see you leave, “Moses,” but wish you all the luck in the world. BILLY MITCHELL KORWARD “Mitch” came out this year for the first time, and made the first team, which is hard to do at any school. He fought hard all the time, was an accurate passer, and a good shot. He w’as always at the right place when the hall was to be passed. He was a good floor man, faking, dribbling, passing, and shooting at the right time. “Mitch” got honorable men¬ tion for All-State forward, which does mighty well for the first year out. We are all glad to see you back next year, “Mitch,” and hope you do as well and better next year. « ♦ ♦ t ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ t ♦ « 4 4 4 4 4 ♦ ♦ 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 ♦ 4 4 ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ 4 4 4 4 t 4 ♦ ♦ 4 4 4 4 ♦ 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 ♦ 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 k 4 4 � � ♦ � ♦ ♦ « ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ « ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ « ♦ « « ♦ ♦ � « ♦ « ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Champions BERNARD WHITE f.UARD “Beniie” was not eligible for the blue and white court squad until the mid-term exams were over, lint he very soon made his jjresence felt. He won a warm place in our hearts when he trotted out on the floor in that second V. S. 1). B. game and stri])ped the cords four times with little or no concern as the silent lads were wondering what it was all about. ' I ' his was “Bernie’s” third season as a first string basketeer, and he readily came up to expectations. W lute’s flashy playing the second half of the quint season won for him hon¬ orable mention on the All-State Class “B” mythical hasketball team. He fitted in well in the Lee five-man set zone defense, and was a main cog in bringing the sphere down the floor on the oft ' cnse. Now and then he would score a long range shot to holster Lee’s score. It is with much regret that we have to lose you this year, “Bernie,” but our best wishes will go with you. ROBERT MATTHEWS C.UARIl “Bob” has also been out for three years ' worked hard, and this year made the first squad. IR)b showed us that he was a good guard. If one of the opponents got through. Bob was right there to stop him. He Imoke up many i)asses and shots, and worried his opponents a great deal. He was always working hard and passing accurately. Boh follow ' ed the ball everywhere and was on it or right there every time it w ' as loose. This is his last year, and we shall miss him. We wish you luck w-herever you go, “Boh.” JOE KINNEY FORWAim “Tattle Iduck,” as he’s called by his team-mates, came out for the team for the first time this year. He was a substitute, but played in many of the games. When he was put in, he played well and hard. The man who played against “Duck” always had a hard time staying with him, Tiecause he was so fast. He was also an accurate passer, which accounts for many ])oints this year. We shall all be glad to see you back, “Duck,” and wish you the greatest success. SWINTON STEEI.E MANAOKR Every team needs a manager, and a good one means a lot to the success of a team. Steele was a good one, and helped the team and coached a great deal. The Coach did not have to tell him but once w ' hat to do, and it was done. He always had the basketball pumped up, and when we w ' cnt on trips everything was ready for the team when they got there. The team will miss you next year, Steele, but wish you luck wherever you go. MIKE KIVLIGHAN MANACK.R We also had another manager that worked hard and did what he was told—in fact, he did it so well that Coach didn’t have to worry about anything being left behind or getting- lost. It’s managers like this that every team wants and tries to get. We are glad to see you back, “Mike,” and we consider the team of next year lucky in having such a manager coming back with them. State Class B Tournament HEN the Class B Tournament (Virginia Athletic and Literary League) was held in the Robert L. Lee High School gymnasium on the afternoon and night of March 9, it was the first time that a state high school basketball tournament had ever been staged on a local court. The followers of the “Lighting Lee- men” were also fortunate in having the District IV Tourney held upon the hill in the Staunton Military Academy gymnasium the ])revious week. In the Class B Tournament in addition to the blue and white court squad were three of the strongest teams in the state, who had survived previous elimi¬ nations in their respective districts, namely: the undefeated Buchanan High School, which l)oasted twenty straight victories during the season. Representing the southwestern section of the state was the scrappy outfit from Virginia High School of Bristol; the fourth entry was the highly touted Lredericksburg High School cpiint, only conquerors of Newport News Hi, the Class A Championship team. Robert E. Lee High School earned the right to participate in the state tour¬ nament on the local floor by winning ten out of twelve games in the regular scheduled District IV contests and then trouncing, by a score of 29 to 10, the Wilson Hi five from Waynesboro in the finals of the District IV Tourney held in the S. M. A. gymnasium. Officials for the Tournament were: Captain Lrank Summers, of V. M. I., head coach at Staunton Military Academy, and Harry Dey of Dartmouth, a mem¬ ber of the coaching stafif at the local prep school. Thev handled the contests in an efficient manner and received many comments for their splendid work. Each handled one of the preliminary games, while Captain Summers served as referee in the finals, with Harry Dey acting as umpire. The two preliminary games were held in the afternoon at two-thirty and four o’clock respectively. Lee was victorious 32 to 24 over Bristol in the opening tussle, while Lrederickslnirg followed by decisively defeating the heretofore un¬ defeated Buchanan Hi quint 35 to 21. Coming from behind with a whirlwind attack at the start of the second half, Lee copped the state Class “B” title by trouncing Lredericksburg Hi in the state finals 34 to 19. LlfL BlcATS BRISTOL Lee High School had little trouble in beating Bristol High School in the first game of the tournament 32 to 24. The Lee sharpshooters missed bushels of shots, but they made enough good to keep ahead from the starting whistle. They were leading at the first cpiarter, 6 to 5, and at the half, 17 to 11. The real si urt came directly after the half started when Lee made four straight baskets off as many tip-cffhs. Harris, right f(jrward for Lristol, found the loop for seven held goals and two free throws to lead the scoring with sixteen points. Parker lead the Lee scoring attack with four held goals and four foul tosses for a total of twelve points. P.UCHAXAN’S FllLST LOSS I ' rederickshurg High gave I’uchanan High school their hrst defeat this season when they won the second game of the tournament—and the right to meet Lee in the hnals—hy a 35-21 score. Almost from the start the fast work of the Hash—to Lowry—to Prown combination and vice versa kept the Fredericksburg team ahead of the Poute- tourt county squad by a 2-1 score. Prown hit the loop for eleven held goals, and two free throws to run up a high score of twenty-four points. The Puchanan team played a fast, hard game, but could not co])e with the height and speed of their oi)ponents. It was Puchanan’s first defeat in twentv games. IHNAL CAM If (Prief report from local newspaper) “I ' lGHTlNG LEEAIEN” WIN STATE CHAMPIONSHIP Local School’s Tlam Supremk in Class P Fffirious third cpiarter rally turns back Eredericksburg, 34 to 19; Pristol and Puchanan eliminated as hard playing fives battle through to finals; Lee will meet Newport News, Class “A” champions, at a date to be announced later. The “Fdghting Leemen” are state champions of Class P. Py a brilliant rally last night that netted sixteen points in the third cjuarter— a rally that took all the pep out of Eredericksliurg High school, favored to win the tournament, and leading 10 to 9 at the half—Lee won. The way those “Lighting Leemen’’ sunk Iiaskets from every angle on the Lee court; the way they forged to the championship, would have brought cheers from the most skeptical doubter of their fighting ability. F ' ans went wild when the half was over—they were yelling for a rally, and what a rally they got. Eirst Hanna, then Chittum, then Parker, then White, then Mitchell—-the boys were going away. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ f ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ 4 - � 4 ♦ 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 A. � ♦ ♦ ♦ f ♦ Baseball Prospects ROwSrECTS for a winning baseball team at Lee this Spring were bright, for the first time in a number of years. Eight wearers of the coveted monogram returned to the fc ld, and with a wealth of promising material on hand the coach did not have a difficult time selecting his varsity nine. Veterans returning tins season were; Barber and Parker, pitcliers; Hanna and Foster, infielders; Herndon, B. White, and Hevener, out¬ fielders; and Matthews, catcher. An ambitious ten-game schedule was adopted for the Lee diamond warricjrs. in tlie District IV contests, two games apiece were played witli Bridgewater Hi, Wilson Hi, of Waynesboro, and Lane Hi, of Charlottesville, on a “home and liome” basis. Lee encountered Lane Hi and Wilson Hi for the first time in regular scheduled District tussels. Relations were resumed with our city rivals, ' S. D. B., in a two-game series. The annual struggles with the strong Duns- more Business College nine and the F ' aculty combination again attracted a lot of attention in local baseball circles. The baseball season brought to a close one of the best years in athletics ever enjoyed iyv Ixe. Witli eiglit veterans performing on the diamond for Lee, tlie followers of the Bine and Wlhte were not dismayed. B A S Ld AI. L S ( d 1L D U L L Wednesday, April 15tli I ' ddday, April I7tli....

IT PAYS T O A D V E R r I S E The School A nnual T T E DO not think—not publicly, it least—that m m the only people who print school an- nuals properly. Many printers do as good work as we, and a few do better, perhaps. But 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.
