LIBRIS P “Wi )oro, V ' C Lib lr Shia 0 . THE RECORD of 1933 Published by the Senior Class of Robert E. Lee High School Staunton, Virginia STAUNTON PUBLIC LIBRARY = • ?� - ' -- This picturesque coach similar to the one in which Governor Spottswood rode with its rich velvet upholstery, its elegantly capari¬ soned horses, often accompanied by gaily- dressed outriders is a symbol of the life of that aristocratic element of the South which has passed away forever. A symbol of the pomp and ceremony of that old South plied with a sentiment and human interest pecul¬ iarly its own. Foreword T HIS final issue of the Record whose theme is The Knights of the Golden Horseshoe” is dedicated to you, the members of the Class of ’3 3, who are about to start on that difficult journey which leads to success or failure. May you follow with unfaltering faith the path that leads to rightful accomplishment. And never forget that ' The moving fires yet burn in the heavens that lighted the chivalric exploration of Virginia’s forests and waters’ on which the fame of Spottswood will always shed a golden light; while the jewelled ' Horseshoe’ remains symbolical of the onward march of the mighty race who conquered a continent and proclaimed the genius and power of the American Republic.” In old Bruton Church at Williamsburg may be found a tablet inscribed as follows: To the glory of God and in memory of the mem¬ bers of the committee which drafted the law estab¬ lishing religious freedom in Virginia—Thomas Jeffer¬ son, vestryman of St. Ann’s Parish; Edmund Pen¬ dleton, vestryman of Drysdale Parish; George Wythe, vestryman of Bruton Parish; George Mason, vestry¬ man of Truro Parish; Thomas L ' udwell Lee, vestry¬ man of Overwharton Parish—being all the members of the committee The great freedom of religious belief which we enjoy today goes back to these illustrious men who would not tolerate spe¬ cial privileges. Contents Administration and Views Seniors Organizations Literary Athletics Jokes and Ads We estivard—ever westward, dreaming of those vast stretches seemingly impassable to human foot. Yet, the pioneer of those later expeditions that dared to go ahead and gain that fertile and fruitful land beyond the M ississi ppi. Views n the far distant future when high school days have become but a dim recollection, and school friendships but shadowy sketches, turn again to these pages and live again the joyful hours which these familiar scenes call to mind. Wn ithin these portals and spacious corri¬ dors many have come, and many have gone. Gone forth to render service to mankind and to become successful citizens. Those who have succeeded arc those who followed the way marked by the guide posts of TRUTH, HONESTY, PERSEVERANCE, and FAITHFULNESS TO DUTY. Lee’s athletic field has been a field of tri¬ umph and victory always, even though the game was not won. There has been the triumph of fair play, clean sportsmanship, the victory over self as manifested through self-control and thoughtfulness for others. May these qualities acquired here be carried on to the broad field of life. Faculty Mr. L. F. Shelburne Superintendent Mr. FI. Mr. H. L. Bridges, Jr. Mr. C. E. Smither Mr. G. S.

Valedictory ELIZABETH THOMAS W E, the Class of 193 3, are proud that at last we have attained the goal so earnestly sought, our high school graduation. We realize, too, that, perhaps, the happiest days which shall ever be ours have been spent within the walls of old Lee High. There have been times when we have felt discouraged, there have been struggles and heart-aches, but these have better fitted us for the tasks that lie ahead. Let us not think that gradua tion is all, that the supreme goal of our lives has been reached. We have merely laid the foundation of our education. The great English poet, Coleridge said, Action is the great end of all: no intellect, however grand is valuable if it draw us from action and lead us to think and think until the time of action is passed by, and we can do nothing.” Let us stop and think upon this. Are thoughts without action of any value? If we have great thoughts and do not put them into practice, will they have any worth? I think we shall all agree that the answer is No.” Every individual is endowed with certain talents, and can do cer¬ tain things better than anyone else. If these talents are developed, and through worth¬ while action are given to the world, then and only then are they of value. Likewise, a person may have a thought or an opinion which is very valuable. If he keeps this thought to himself and just meditates upon it for a long time, it will do nobody good. Or if he thinks upon it until the time of action is passed, its value is gone. However, if at the right moment, he puts his thoughts into practice, he may be of great service to his fellow men, and after all, the main object of our lives should be service to others. But what of the thoughts that are followed by action? If action is to prove worthwhile, the thoughts that precede that action must count for something. We must test our thoughts for their purity, suitability, and veracity. Let us not hide our true selves behind sham and pretense. Let us show ourselves to the world as faithful, accurate descriptions free from the make-believe or false. Though the world know me not, may my thoughts and actions be such as shall keep me friendly with myself.” When we make decisions, let us not be too impulsive, but be deliberate, and then make the wisest choice of which we are capable. To the teachers we express our gratitude and appreciation for their patient and untiring efforts in our behalf. We know that without their help, and without the en¬ couragement of our parents we could have done nothing. We owe them a debt that can never be fully repaid. We, the Class of 1933, with hearts that are both happy and sad, say Larewell.” Salutatory JANE SMITH F RIENDS, teachers, and fellow students of Robert E. Lee High School, I deeply appreciate the honor and privilege of welcoming you here tonight. We, the Class of 193 3, have at last attained that goal for which we have been persistently striving for the past four years—Graduation. To some of us this means freedom from the drudgery of school work, to others a series of good times or athletic triumphs but to most of us it means the realization of those dreams which have cheered us onward when the way seemed hardest and which have impelled us to renewed action and vigor. Tonight, as we stand upon the borderland of real life with its infinite possibilities let us imprint indelibily upon our minds and hearts the motto of our class,— Vincit Qui Laborata—He Conquers Who Labors.” The worthwhile things of life are not attained easily, for excellence is never granted to man but as the reward of labor.” But do we not appreciate the things which cost the most in toil, suffering and self-sacrifice more than those which are achieved with a minimum of effort? Our reward comes in the pleasure which we derive from them, in the thrill of attainment, in the satisfaction of our desires and the fulfillment of our dreams. In the present age the measure of success of a man is usually determined by the number of things which he possesses. Shall we interpret our lives in terms of what we have or in the quality of the things we have? Let us remember that everything that appears advantageous and desirable is not so. I do not mean to belittle the value of wealth and attainment, for each plays an important part. However, we should direct our thoughts more toward contentment, satisfaction with simpler things, and confidence in ourselves. Only in this way may we obtain the most from life, peace and happiness. Simplicity is an exact medium between too little and too much.” Our school has endeavored to mold our characters by teaching us the incalculable value o f co-operation, honor, and perseverance. It is with regret that we leave the teachers who have so faithfully and steadfastly worked with us. We can reward their patience and effort only by fulfilling those dreams with which they have so nobly inspired us. Class of 1933, I salute you and on your behalf welcome our friends here this evening. The Prophecy of the Class of Thirty-three as Revealed by Their Handwriting G RAPHOLOGY is a more exact science than is generally realized. It is not an absurd method of fortune telling, as some persons think, but an accurate system in determining personal traits, characteristics and tendencies. Take, for instance, the bold, dashing handwritings of Breck Goodloe and Kenneth Clemmer. Their firm and well-formed letters indicate athletic ability, and we expect some day to see Breck pitching for the New York Giants, and Kenneth as an All-American tackle. The handwriting of Harry Burnett and Jennie Marino have similar characteristics, and we expect them both to be physical directors. William Agner’s penmanship reflects daring qualities that will some day make him Fire Commissioner in Staunton. Musical ability is one of the most easily recognized in handwriting. A musician’s writing is naturally light, graceful, and somewhat irregular. The handwriting of Monroe Hollis, Boyce Jarman, and Cyrus Reeves are splendid examples of this type, and we expect to find them all in an orchestra some day, Monroe and Cyrus perform¬ ing on the violin, and Boyce on the flute. John Hanna’s more definite handwriting leads us to believe that he will be a saxophone player, and Frank Lytton’s masterly letters reflect qualities that will make him an orchestra leader. Dramatic ability is reflected in artistic and individualistic handwriting, such as that of Dorothy Mohler and Kenneth Knorr, who will someday be movie stars, and Ethel Bender, who will be a renowned dancer. Julian Harris’ writing shows ability which will make him a director of plays. The small, precise handwriting which denotes artistic ability is less common. We are fortunate to have in our class two such types, Roberta Vance and Harry Smith, who will be noted commercial artists. Good taste and judgment in forming letters reflect personal taste and judgment. These qualities may be noted in the handwriting of Courtney Flippo, Hattie Blackburn, and Dorothy Stover. An analysis of their script leads us to belive that Courtney will be a buyer for a Fifth Avenue shop, Hattie a mannequin for small women’s fashions, and Dorothy a successful milliner. Nancy Catt, whose writing shows much the same qualities will be a beauty specialist. Care and attention to detail is shown in the writ¬ ing of Virginia Brooks, who will be a dietician, and Iris Gross, who will be a nurse. Executive ability is reflected in the hasty and careless handwriting of Cecil Rich¬ ardson, who will become mayor of Staunton, and of Robert Collins, who will be Chairman of the Democratic National Convention. The more stable writing of Robbins Pancake denotes qualities that will make him a successful senator. The handwritings of John Barbee and Hallie Fauver have similar characteristics. John will be a captain in the National Guards, and Hallie will be the Augusta County Agent. Handwriting which is careful in letter formation, and flows along with a gentle rhythm, reflects sympathy, patience and knowledge, which are qualities essential to a teacher. From an analysis of their penmanship, we have concluded that Hilda Frame will be a Latin teacher, Virginia Harper a teacher of English and Civics, Jean Holliday a French teacher, and Virginia McCue and Florence Metz teachers of domestic science. Dorothy O’Donnell also will be an instructor. Margaret Stratton, whose handwriting shows a love of the outdoors will be an instructor of horse-back riding and Elizabeth Thomas will be dean of women at Mary Baldwin College. Frances Wilson will be a Young People’s Worker in Lexington Presbytery of Virginia. Versatility in handwriting, and varied letter formation reflect the resourcefulness of nature necessary to a salesman. Nelson Goodloe, who will manage Worthington Hardware Store, has these qualities in his writing. They are developed to an unusual degree in the penmanship of Burwell Hawpe, who will be an insurance agent. Guilford Landes and Joe Taylor will some day mana ge large stores, and Pearl Gum and Mary Hassett will find employment in millinery shops. Accuracy is needed in reporting the news, and accuracy is reflected by the formation of small, careful letters, and by a regular script. Such is the penmanship of Winifred Young and Chester Powell, who will be successful newspaper reporters. Donald Callar will broadcast radio news, and Frances Waide will rival Walter Winchell by her society gossip column. The delicate and imaginative character of Betty Lambert’s writing reveals that she will be a composer of poetry for popular magazines. Some specimens of handwriting are not so easily classified as those cited above, and experience is needed in their analyses. Stable qualities are shown in the writings of William Grasty and Homer Landes which lead us to believe that the former will be a lawyer and the latter a banker. Persistence that will make her a noted biologist is reflected in the penmanship of Frances Russell. Attention to detail is shown in Jane Smith’s script. She will become a famous chemist. Love of luxury is denoted by the easy, flowing writing of Jessie Baylor. She will be official taster for the Whitman Candy Company. Florence Matacia will be secretary to the ambassador from Italy. Inquisitiveness is reflected by the slanting penmanship of James Whitlock, who will be chief of the New York Criminal Investigation Department. The staid and settled quality of Geraldine Critzer’s handwriting reveals that she will be a housewife in Staunton. The freedom and liberty of his script reflect qualities that will cause Archie Sproul to take up farming as his life’s work. Senior Class Will W E, the Class of ’3 3, being of passably sound mind, sweet disposition, generous nature, and possessed of many valuable and highly desirable traits and belongings, do hereby bequeath, hand over, bestow, otherwise give, said traits and belongings to many envious lower classmen in this, our first and last will and testament.

In order to determine which students were best qualified to represent their societies in this program a series of preliminary contests were held in debating, declamation, recitation and oration. The first contest in which seven students took part was debating, the question being, Resolved: That Congress should enact the Fess Radio Bill allocating 15 per cent of all radio broadcasting facilities to educational broadcasting exclusively. Excellent arguments were advanced by both sides and Eleanor Thompson and Boyce Jarman, upholding the negative were selectd to represent the Philomathean Society while Harris Petry and Cecil Richard¬ son arguing for the affirmative won in the Phoenix Society. Our debating team then met other schools in our district in a series of contests, and by winning over them all, became the champions of this District. Ten students entered the preliminary declamation contest which was won by Gordon Cleveland, the representative of the Phoenix Society and Marvin Hook of the Philomathean Society. The subjects being re¬ spectively, The Horrors of Civil War” and At His Brothers Grave.” Eleven students entered the preliminary recitation contest which was won by Emma Clem of the Philomathean Society and Corinne Tomes of the Phoenix Society. The Soul of the Violin” was the recitation given by Emma Clem and The Second Trial” by Corinne Tomes. Five students entered the oratorical contest which was won by Frank Lytton of the Phoenix Society who spoke upon The Importance of the Motion Picture” and Jane Smith of the Philomathean Society who pre¬ sented Problems of Our Democracy.” These students represented Lee High in the district meet at Waynesboro on April 21. The girls’ public speaking contest resulted in a tie for first place between Jane Smith of Staunton and the representative of Lane High, Charlottesville, while our representative, Frank Lytton, took second place in the boys’ public speak¬ ing contest. Our music department gave its usual spring concert on April 7 in the High School Auditorium and on April 28 broadcast for the second time over station WDBJ of Roanoke from five to five-thirty o’clock. Literary C reat narrative skill is given to few, and to fewer still is given the power of vivid imagery. But there is a delight in express¬ ing clearly a thought all ones own, how¬ ever, simple it may he. And it must not be forgotten that, Order is heaven’s first law; and this confessed, some are and must be greater than the rest.” Class Poem ELIZABETH THOMAS Within a crystal ball I gaze, The vision there is just a maze, No object comes before my sight, No vision, not a ray of light. Then, suddenly before my eyes, A clearer vision seems to rise, The vision of a Freshman class, Of lads and lassies as they pass. A class just starting on the road, Struggling under a mighty load, Entering upon an unknown way, With new tasks arising from day to d I then observe a Sophomore class Within that ball of magic glass, New members added, old ones gone, Struggles have been met, and won. The ball turns round, and then I see A Junior class, alert, carefree, But with a strong determination, To work and reach their graduation. And then again the ball turns round, I see within a sight profound, A Senior class with work all done, Looking back at days of fun. Days of happiness and tears, Days of triumphs, days of fears, Days when things were going wrong, Days of joy and days of song. They’re just a memory, far awav, L T pon this graduation day, Books forgotten, cast aside As driftwood by a swelling tide. And now the glass reveals to me The future and an open sea, This open sea—the sea of life, Upon it years of toil and strife. Yet, countless sunny days I see, Days full of joy for you and me, All free from sorrow and from wrong, Days full of merry, gladsome song. Patricia Peyton’s Letter By ROBERTA VANCE Williamsburg, Colony of Virginia, August the 26th, 1716. To Mistress Anne Peyton, Castlemanor, Highbury, England. My Dearest Neice: When, your, poore uncle descidded to settle in Williamsburgh in this wilde forlorne Virginia, 1 teas convinced that yt ivoulde be an unforthenate move. Now yt has proven even more disastcrous than 1 had antiscipatted. Oh, my dear Anne, how can 1 begin the sad recital of the sircumstances? Now the estate nexte to ourc owne is occupied by the Robertsons. My dear neice, they are delight full people, 1 am sure, but younge William Robertson, just home from Oxford University, has a great hobby — goldfish, miserable, insignificant goldfish! Of course, Libby, my precious Persian cat was curious about them. A few days later I received a communication from younge Robertson that my miserable catte” hadd possitively devoured” four of his seven goldfish. My misserable catte”—the insol- lence of yt. 1 all most wished she had caught the reste of them, too. I wrote and demanded an apollogy for his goldfish making my catte sick, but it did avale me nothing. He actually chassed my poore darling aivaye from his estate and frightened her most dred fully. If he didd not wish his goldfish devoured he should e have fensed in his fish poole. Our relations were considerably straind, and even icey politeness ceased when he brought my Libby to me and saide that if he founde her near his fish poole again he would take nessessary steps.” 1 lecturred Libby about her insaitiable taste for goldfish and, my dear, 1 think the precious understands every thinge 1 saye to her. As for the annoying Mr. Robertson, he was so busy withe his goldfish that he ivas not even interested in the great prepparations of Gouve.our Spottswood to cross the mountains. 1 just coulde not understand that for I all ways tooke my knitting to the window nearest the commotion on the towne greene. Libby must have slipped away when 1 was at the winndow and all that evening no ammounte of calling woulde bringe her. The next morning, after a sleepless nighte I called on younge Mr. Robertson for I knew that he must have hadd somethinge to do with Libby ' s not coming home. As passed throughe the Robertson’s gardden 1 notissed that the goldfish poole was emptty! I pritthee, my dear, to make note of that—poore Libby, she will be sick unto death from goldfish this time, 1 saide. Upon inquiry 1 lerned that Mr. Robertson hadd left at dawn with Gouvernour Spottswood’s expedition! Libby ivas nowhere to be found. I took Mabel, my maide, out on the towne greene to inquire for my loste pet—poore dear. 1 overheard two gentlemen talking. Yes, they have begun their journey—everyone teas surprissed to see young Robertson in the company.” And pritthee,” saide the other, why did he take a white Persian catte in a covered baskett, can you tell me?” Quick, that ladye is fainting!” That ladye” my dear, ivas your Aunt Patricia. 1 am still quite overcome, but as I tolde you and your uncle, this is what comes of settling in this wilde country—you can never tell what dangers besette you and yours. In deepe disttress, Your faythfull, Aunt Patricia. The Knights of the Golden Horseshoe MARGARET STRATTON O IC JUVAT transcendere montes What does that mean, father?” asked Jack, who was closely examining a triangular bronze tablet on a pyramid of river rock cemented together. That is a famous sentence, my son,” replied his father. It means ' Thus it pleases him to cross the mountains,’ and it was the saying of Governor Spottswood.” Governor Spottswood of the Golden Horseshoe?” Yes.” But why did he want to cross the mountains? He had plenty to do on the east side without hunting trouble on the west side where the Indians were. Why? father,” asked the irrepressible Jack. Jack, you are a regular walking interrogation point! However, I am glad you are eager for knowledge. As you know from your history, Alexander Spottswood came to Virginia as lieutenant-governor to do the work of the absentee governor who drew a large salary and thought not a bit about his province. Spottswood was very successful in the ten or twelve years of his rule and the colony was prosperous.” But why did he come across the mountains?” put in impatient Jack. Just wait and I will tell you. In these days we can go anywhere in just a few minutes or few hours, but then, it took a long time to go even a short distance. Then there were many places of interest east of the Blue Ridge and there was no purpose in going west to find more. Be¬ sides, the king had forbidden any westward expansion for fear the people might go against him and get beyond control. But Spottswood, with a group of brave, ambitious, hardy Virginians, decided to see what lay to¬ wards the sun. They went first to Germanna, the governor’s palace in which Spottswood resided. There they completed their outfit and the Tramontane Expedition started the long journey of exploration. The progress up the mountain was retarded by the dense undergrowth but, finally, they reached the top about where we are now standing. Is this where they crossed?” questioned the eager boy. Yes. This road from Elkton up which we have just come is called the ' Spottswood Trail.’ This monument at which you are gazing was put up as a sort of cairn or rock marker to show where Spottswood crossed on September 5, 1716. On the top of this mountain the men drank to the health of King George and the Royal Family. From here the Governor could survey the Piedmont Valley on the east and the Shenandoah Valley on the west. He must have been spellbound by the majestic beauty of the fertile land covered with forests, and with purple mountains in the background. There were no houses then, only trees, trees, trees. He, probably, saw what resembled a blue ribbon, now the Shenandoah River, amid the forests and desired to see it more closely. Then, after due consultation with his men, he started down the side but not before they had buried a bottle containing a piece of paper claim¬ ing the land in the name of Great Britain. Nothing happened except a Mr. Beverley’s horse, in rounding a steep place on the mountain-side, slipped and man and horse rolled to the bottom. I am glad to say neither was hurt and the men had no end of fun teasing Mr. Beverley about his tumble. The company went as far as the Shenandoah, which they called the Euphrates, but a few mountaineers went farther to investigate. I do not know how long they stayed here but I know the hunting and fishing were excellent and the men had plenty of sport.” Are any places around here named for or by Spottswood and his men?” asked Jack, deeply interested. There are some, I believe. Clouder’s Run was named for a Mr. Clouder who slipped and fell into the water while crossing the stream. At one place where they camped they killed a very large snake. As a result they called the place ' Rattlesnake Camp’ but it is now ' Brooke Camp.’ The Forks of the Rappahannock is where the Robertson and Rapidan Rivers join to form the beautiful Rappahannock River. The valley running straight down the mountain they named Swift Run Gap because a rapid, bubbling stream rushed through it. Other names around here are Mine Run, Mountain Run, and Elk Run but I do not know whether they named them or not. I certainly wish Spottswood could ride along the Skyline Trail from Furay to this spot and see the Piedmont and Shenandoah Valleys now, how they have been developed. But tell me, Father, where does the Golden Fiorseshoe come in?” put in inquisitive Jack. When Governor Spottswood returned home, he had a small golden horseshoe made for each of the men on the Tramontane Expedition, which, though it lasted only twenty days, was a step toward westward expansion. In each of these tiny golden horseshoes was the motto, r Sic juvat transcendcre monies’” I certainly should have liked going along with Governor Spotts¬ wood,” mused Jack. Yes, so should I for Governor Spottswood was ' the noblest figure of his day in America and the greatest of all the Colonial Governors of Virginia’.” Governor Spottswood’s Party BOYCE JARMAN T OWARD the last of July, 1716, a small body composed of gentle¬ men, retainers, rangers, and Indians, numbering in all about fifty, set out from Williamsburg in gay spirits to explore the great moun¬ tains which were in western Virginia, but which no man had explored. The governor and all his officials were in the highest of spirits and the governor even rode as far as Germanna, a small town near the moun¬ tains, in his coach, abandoning it when the going became too rough. This party was that of Governor Spottswood of England, going with the definite purpose of finding a means to protect the English settlements against French encroachments. They had determined to make a lark out of the trip while they were on it, however. The party was composed of the following gentlemen, so far as is known today; Governor Spottswood, Robert Beverley, the historian of the expedition, William Robertson, John Fontaine, Dr. Robinson, Taylor Todd, James Taylor, Robert Brooke, George Mason, Captain Smith, and Jeremiah Clouder. This party was composed of many of the outstanding men in the colony, and many were either great men themselves or de¬ scendants of great men. Although it was the duty of Robert Beverley, the Virginia Historian, to record the events of the expedition, the best account of the trip is found in the diary of John Fontaine. Although meager, it reflects something of the attitude of the gentlemen of the crowd. On September 5, so far as historians have been able to figure, the party climbed the Blue Ridge on the Eastern side of Swift Run Gap. That afternoon they descended to the river, and campd on its banks that night. The next day, the governor formally took possession” of all the Shenandoah river and the country in the valley around it for the king. John Fontaine’s diary for September 6, gives us the following account: We had a good dinner, and after it we got the men together and loaded all their arms and we drank the King’s health in champagne and fired a volley, the Princess’s health in Burgundy and fired a volley, and all the rest of the royal family in claret and a volley. We drank the Governor’s health and fired another volley.” The above passage serves to show the light-hearted manner in which the governor and his friends looked at the whole situation. ' The story of this journey of adventure has really not much of adventure in it. There were few real dangers and little of severe hardship and exposure other than would have been encountered by a similar expedition anywhere beyond the settled border of the colony. The romance which attaches to it has been largely due to the subsequent creation of the ' Tramontaine Order,’ which appears to have been established by Spottswood after his return, and to the fact that its leader was the noble and splendid Governor of the Province.” When the Governor found out what he wished to know concerning the possibilities of a French invasion, he returned to Williamsburg with his immediate attendants, leaving some of the Indians and rangers to explore the valley. As stated by himself in a letter to the Board of Trade, August 14, 1718, he states: : The chief aim of my expe¬ dition over the great mountains, in 1716, was to satisfy myself whether it was practicable to come at the lakes. I discovered . . that from the path where I was, it is but three days’ march to a great nation of Indians living on a river which discharges itself in the lake Erie.” This shows the mistaken notions of geography which had gotten into the governor’s mind and as a consequence caused this expedition.

Knights of the Golden Horseshoe ROBERT COLLINS Onward, comrades, yet a little farther ere the night draws nigh Onward, and we’ll cast our lean-to where the Shenandoah rolls by Since from Lredericksburg we rode, four long weeks have run their course Weeks that with their trials and hardships tried the strength of man and horse. We have toiled and we have struggled over many hills and runs Thirty days we worked and sweated under thirty broiling suns We have killed the bear and wildcat, cleared the serpent from our path Nor have we fled before the wolf pack, shrunk before the panther’s wrath. Rains have drenched our knightly garments, changed the land into a fen And our horses to their fetlocks sank beneath the weight of men Winds have lashed our beaten faces, strewn rough trees athwart our path But we’ve met each prank of nature with a cheerful face and laugh. We have felt the gentle breezes brushing back our flowing locks Lelt the wind upon our foreheads as we clambered over rocks We have sung the songs of valor of our most respected sires Heard the tales of their adventures as we clustered round our fires. We are crossing land where never mortal foot has trod before We have seen the virgin woodland, heard the sparkling cascades roar Every day unfolds its wonders, promises a new surprise And a strange new panorama stretches out before our eyes. Courage, comrades, in a little we shall reach our goal and prize See a valley rich and fertile over yonder mountain rise. Sic luvat Transcendere Montes be the motto of our band Thus it delights to cross the mountains of our rich and pleasant land. Athletics Every age has its sports and its ardent de¬ votees of these sports. And who shall say that those of former days such as dexterous riding, picturesque tournament, and spec¬ tacular fox chases did not equal, perhaps, exceed in thrills, excitement, and splendor those of our present day.

H hSS ETT THOMAX Rohr V Football Resume ROBBINS PANCAKE About thirty gridiron hopefuls answered Coach Doran’s call for candidates for the varsity gridiron machine. Prospects at Lee were as good as could be expected, with five letternten back—Null, Chiodi and Burnett in the backfield, and Thomas and Clemmer in the line. After a week’s work in getting into condition, the squad settled down to hard work, in preparation for the opening game. GAMES Lee . 0 Covington .24 The Leemen opened their football season with Covington High School furnishing the opposition. The game was played on Lee’s new athletic field and though the boys made a valiant attempt to christen it with a victory the necessary teamwork and experience was lacking. Lee lost the game 24 to 0. Lee .12 Waynesboro . 7 The Leemen proved their dauntless spirit in defeating Waynesboro in their most thrilling game of the season by the score of 12 to 7. Trailing 7 to 6 late in the final quarter, the Leemen put over the winning touchdown when Chiodi snagged one of Rohr’s passes and galloped for a score. Lee . 6 Miller School .1 2 In their third game of the season the Leemen met Miller School on the latter’s field. After trailing 12 to o at the half, Lee rallied and put over a touchdown but could not add a second tally and so were defeated 12 to 6. Lee . 7 Charlottesville Lives” . 32 Lee’s next game was with the colorful Charlottesville Fives.” Fighting determinedly, the Lee boys led 7 to 6 at the half. In the second half, however, the Fives” clinched the victory with a successful passing attack. Lee . 0 Lane .24 Lee next opposed another antagonist from Charlottesville, the big Orange team of Lane High. Though they scrapped throughout the contest, they were outclassed by the Orange eleven. Lee .18 V. S. D. B. . 6 Lee encountered her arch rivals from V. S. D. B. on the home field and defeated them 18 to 4. The Lee men showed good teamwork and plenty of fight and succeeded in trouncing the Deaf Lads very efficiently. Lee . 0 Harrisonburg . 6 In the following week the Leemen clashed with their old rivals from down the Valley, the Blue Streaks” of Harrisonburg. Soon after the opening kick-off, the Streaks” sneaked over a touchdown. After that it was nip and tuck,” with Lee threatening several times but lacking the impetus to put it over. The final whistle blew with Lee on the wrong end of a 6 to 0 count. Lee . 0 Culpeper . 13 The Fighting Leemen” journeyed to Culpeper to play the last game of the season. Minus several of her best players, Lee lost the contest in a sea of mud by the score of 13 to 0. INDIVIDUAL PLAYERS EDWARD NULL Quarterback, Captain and Captain-Elect Ed” Null, backfield ace of the latest edition of the Fighting Leemen” proved himself to be one of the most capable quarterbacks Lee has ever had. Shifty and elusive on offense and a dead-sure tackier on the defense, Ed” earned the admiration and respect of his opponents as well as his teammates. He was always encouraging the team and never gave up until the final whistle. As proof of their faith in him, the team elected him captain for the past season and captain for the coming season and also voted him to be the recipient of the Doran gold football for the most valuable player to his team, Ed” has another year at Lee and he will undoubtedly cover himself with further glory. NATHAN CHIODI Halfback Haying his second year as halfback on the Lee varsity Chick” again displayed his colorful and versatile ability. Being fast and elusive Chick” was a consistent ground-gainer and a capable pass receiver. Always scrapping and giving his best, he proved himself to be one of Lee’s best backs. He has another year also and we know he’ll make gridiron history. HARRY ROHR Fullback This was Rohr’s first year to win the coveted monogram and he proved to everyone that he deserved it. Whenever yardage was needed Rohr was right there to rip that line or throw one of those deadly forward passes. He was also a very capable defensive back and a superb punter. Rohr will be back next year and he will undoubtedly bring further glory to Lee. HARRY BURNETT Halfback Pete” completed his third year on the varsity, this year, and continued to give an excellent account of himself. Pete” was a terror on offense and a dependable defensive back. His stellar work in backing up the line accounted for many of the failures of the opposition to make the necessary yardage. Pete” is leaving us next year and we wish him all the luck in the world. JOSEPH HASSETT End This was Hass’s” first year on the varsity, but he held down the end positions like a veteran. Few plays got around him and many a disappointed safety man found himself flat on his back as soon as he caught a punt. Hass” could handle a tackle or catch a pass with ease also. He has another year at Lee and we know he’ll be even better than he is now. SIDNEY WILSON Tackle Sid” is another warrior who earned his S” for the first time this year, and he proved he had the goods.” Rugged, rangy, eager for battle Sid” played heady offensive ball and generally messed up all the oppositions’ plays on his side of the line. Sid” will be back next year and Lee surely will be glad to see him. WILLIAM LOTTS Guard Tiger” made good this year for the first time, although he’s been out before. A good blocker and a hard fighter, Tiger” was always in the game giving his best. He was good on both offense and defense and proved a very dependable lineman. He will be back next year and he’ll be better than ever. JAMES THOMAS Center D” won his letter in the fall sport last year as a guard, but due to the absence of a capable center, he filled in at this position nobly. D” was always fighting hard and encouraging his teammates no matter what the odds were. He was a sure tackier and a dependable passer so that all the backs had to worry about was where and how to go, after they got the ball. D” will be back next year at Lee and will we be glad to see him? HOUSTON GADDY Tackle and Halfback Gaddy is one of those dependable boys you can put anywhere and who’ll make good. Gaddy played tackle and halfback and also other positions and he knew his signal for each. Small but scrappy, Gaddy showed the opposition what a little man can do when it comes to football. He will be back next year and we’re expecting great things from him. HERBERT LARNER Guard Rumor” earned his S” for the first time this year. He is big and rugged and proved a tower of strength in the line. He took delight in stopping plays through the center of the line and was a sure blocker on offense. Rumor” also returns to the fold and we know he’ll prove most valuable in the forward wall. JOHN SEATON Tackle Chubby” was also a new comer who made good. Though not a regular, he was always ready to do his share whenever he was needed. He proved a bulwark of strength in the line as opposing teams would probably testify. Chubby” will be back also and in him Lee will have a capable and efficient linesman, who will continue to improve as his experience increases. MASON LOCKRIDGE Halfback This was Lockridge’s first year at Lee High but he made his letter in spite of the older veterans. A good blocker and tackier and an elusive runner, Lockridge was little but loud.” He played the game with a pep and fire that inspired the whole team to greater things. Mason will not be back next year as he is no longer attending Lee, and we know he’ll be missed next fall. ROBERT COLLINS Guard Collins is another gridiron hopeful who at last made good, after several unsuccessful attempts. Collins was a good blocker, a dependable tackier and a good interferer when called upon to pull out of the line. He always gave his best and will be sorely missed from the ranks when he graduates in June. KENNETH KNORR and JAMES BRYAN Managers Manager-r-r! bring the rubbing fluid.” Many a time that cry echoed through the shower room or on the field, and always that rubbing fluid, or, anything else a player might want, materialized out of thin air. Such was the efficiency with which the managers did their work. Always cheerful, always ready to help, Knorr and Bryan proved to be as capable a pair as any Lee varsity has ever had. May Lee’s future teams be as fortunate in obtaining good managers. CORD Basketball Resume Prospects for a winning basketball team looked very good when the season opened at Lee. By hard work and steady playing Lee developed into a leading contender for the District IV title only to have her chances thwarted by the failure of two members of the team to make the grade at examination time. Lee opened her season by defeating Beverley Manor High School 27 to 13. The Lee team showed excellent teamwork and a promise of greater things to come. Lee next crossed the mountain to play the Charlottesville Fives” and smothered this highly touted aggregation 3 6 to 2 5. Next came the annual game with the Alumni. These veterans were overwhelmed by a 42 to 22 score. Lee again took the road across the mountains after the Christmas holidays, and took a hard fought contest from Lane High by the score of 24 to 17. The next day the Leemen played McGuire’s School in a tournament at Richmond and defeated them 29 to 21. Lee was the only Class B team invited to the tournament. Lee defeated her old rival V. S. D. B. by the overwhelming score of 4 5 to 16. The Fighting Leemen” suffered their first defeat of the season at the hands of Harrisonburg’s Blue Streaks” in a close, thrilling contest. The final score was 3 6 to 31. Lee avenged herself in the next game by smothering Bridgewater 3 2 to 16. Lee met Lane Fligh in a return game just before examinations and spanked them 3 8 to 16. Because of the elimination of two team members from the line-up due to examinations, Lee went down fighting in a close game with Bridgewater. The boys lacked that vital thing known as teamwork and so were defeated 31 to 2 8. Lee met the Little Giants” of Waynesboro for the first time during the season and though they rallied in the last stages of the game they could not overcome an early lead and so were defeated 2 8 to 24. Tired of playing the underdog the Leemen journeyed to Miller School and defeated them 3 6 to 3 3. The Leemen dropped their next contest to the sharpshooting Deaf Lads of V. S. D. B. by the score of 34 to 19. Trailing all along the route the Leemen made a superb last quarter rally that netted twelve points and enabled them to defeat Beverley Manor 3 2 to 3 0. The Leemen were defeated in the next game by a Fives” team that went wild and scored 56 points to Lee’s 26. The Leemen next met the Streaks” in their own lair and put up a gallant fight but were overcome by a 32 to 16 score. Lee met Waynesboro in a return game but the Little Giants” were still one jump ahead of the Lee boys and won 3 3 to 23. Lee ended her basketball season with a total of ten games won against seven lost and scored 5 08 points to her opponents 4 5 9. KENtiLPY BRYAN Rohr fAPTAIN NULL HAJJETT DEPRIEJ C ATTAiM CHIODI STEPHENS WHITLOCK KNORR Individual Players HARRY ROHR Forward and Captain Rohr distinguished himself this year as an all-around good forward. His floor-work, his passing, and his shooting all went a long way toward clinching victories for Lee. Rohr was an able captain and a good sport and his leadership of his team was an important factor in installing that vital thing called team-work.” Rohr will be back next year and we know he’ll make court history. WILLIAM DePRIEST Guard and Captain-Elect Bill” proved himself to be one of the most capable guards Lee has had in a long time. Always cool and collected and always giving his best, Bill” was invaluable to his team. He provided a stabiliz¬ ing influence over his mates and was one of the ablest scorers ever seen in these parts. Bill’s” team¬ mates thought so much of his ability and leadership that they elected him captain for next year. May Bill” and his team have all the success in the world! KENNETH KNORR Forward Weenie,” though small in size, showed Lee’s opponents how a little man plays a big man’s game. Weenie” was one of the main cogs in the Lee court machine and his accurate passing and superb shoot¬ ing accounted for many of Lee’s points. He always fought till the final whistle and was always en¬ couraging his teammates. Doc” graduates this year and Lee will have a hard time finding a forward who can play basketball like Doc.” JOSEPH HASSETT Center Hass” showed everybody that he could play basketball as well as football. Hass” was green material this year but he handled the difficult center position like a veteran. He was a tower of strength on the defense and an excellent offensive center. Joe” piled up innumerable points on those overhand shots of his and following shots under the basket. Hass” will be back next year and will probably develop into as formidable a center as Lee has ever had. NATHAN CHIODI Guard Chick” is another gridiron stalwart who made good in basketball. Though he had not made the team before, he developed into a superb guard. Chick,” like the rest, was always in there giving his best, and his best was usually a little too good for the opposition. Chick” knew his position whether on offense or defense and proved to be a very capable running-mate for Bill DePriest. These two guards are as good as can be found and Lee is mighty fortunate in having her goal thus fortified. Chick” has another year, also, and we know he’ll make a name for himself. EDWARD NULL Guard Ed” developed into a great defensive guard and he knew how to shoot them, too. Whenever, an opponent came tearing up the floor intent on making a basket, Ed” would swarm all over him like a tent and take that ball away from him. On offense Ed” was deadly in passing to the forwards and thereby added to the Leemen’s score. He’ll be back, too, and he’s sure to strengthen the Lee quintet. WALTER KENNEDY Guard Coach” started the season as a forward but due to his accuracy at long range he was soon shifted to the guard position. Whenever, the game was close and the Leemen needed a few points Luce” would dribble up the floor and calmly strip one. He could play first rate defensive ball also and proved himself a very capable addition to the Lee line-up. He will also be back and will Lee be glad to see him. Oh, boy! JAMES BRYAN Center Poo-poo” was one member of the team who could play any position and play it well. Jimmy” played center, guard, and forward at different times during the season and always acquitted himself nobly. He could also drop in the long ones if necessity demanded. “Jimmy” was a great asset to the team and we’re mighty glad to welcome him back next year. JAMES WHITLOCK Center Jimmy” is another player who could show them how to play any position. He was a dead shot, an accurate passer, and a good floorman. Jimmy” was always in there fighting and though he said little his actions spoke louder than his words.” Jimmy” is leaving this year, also, and we hope him success wherever he goes. CHARLES STEPHENS and FRED SCANTLING Managers Charley” and Fred” proved to be very capable aids to the warriors of the squad of ’3 2 and ’3 3. Each was always ready and willing to help and they boosted the whole team by the cheery atmosphere they maintained. All equipment was safe in their hands and the players always had their wants supplied immediately. May next year’s squad have as able managers as did this year’s.

It is easy for a professional to produce an excep¬ tional year book, but not so with the average student. To him or her it is something new and means months of work. It is here that your printer can help you most by offering helpful suggestions and criticisms. To be able to do this he must have years of actual training in the printing of year books. We believe and feel that the staff of the Record will agree with us when we say that we are artists in this work and are at all times more than willing to share your problems and help you solve them not to our advantage, but in the best interest of the school.
