E E N U VI « E R FOREWORD ROM THE MIDST of the Southern people arose one, Robert E. Eee, who led the way to everlasting glory and honor for a cause which God willed to be lost. Eost? Should we not say unrealized, for surely no cause is lost whose memory is so cherished and which gave to the world the great character whose name our school so proudly bears. May we possess as he, a deep trust in God and our fellow-men, a love for the past, loyalty for the present, and an unshaken faith in the future. To the memory of Robert E. Eee, his life and ideals, we dedicate this, the final issue of the Ri:cord with an humble sense of his greatness. CONTENTS Administration and Views Seniors Organizations Literary Athletics Jokes and Ads Stratford Hoase At the close of the Kevoliitionary War, Lii ' ht-Horse Harry” Lee, father of General Robert E. Lee, took up residence at Stratford House, Westmoreland County, Virginia. The oriy inal Stratford House was built by Richard Lee, the first of the family in the Colonies. In the time of Thomas Lee, of Kiny ’s Council, it was destroyed by fire, and restored at a cost of $80,000, through a fund provided by admirers, including the Covernor, merchants of the colony, and Queen Ann. The laborious part of the work was undertaken by servants of the manor, so that since no cash was paid for this, probably the $80,000 was spent for brick, furnishings, decorations, etc., imported from Eng¬ land. It was built in the form of H, with walls sev¬ eral feet thick; a thirty-foot salon in the center; in each wing a pavilion, with balustrades, and chimneys rising from the center of the roofs. This was an im¬ mense house; built for all time; intended to serve as ij resort and retreat for future branches of the family. The location of Stratford House is a promontory on the south side of the Potomac. As originally designed, great lawns surrounded the house, with immense Lom¬ bardy poplars and other ornamental trees gracing the grounds. In the year 1811 General Henry Lee left Stratford and located in Alexandria, Va., in order to secure for his children better education facilities. He died in Georgia, 1818; but Mrs. Lee continued to reside in Alexandria. From the Alexandria laome, on the rec¬ ommendation of President ( Old Hickory”) fackson, Robert E. Lee went to West Point as cadet of tJje State of Virginia. Views of the School May the spir f of hini whose name this school hears influence those uho learn within its walls, and may Time so mellow the memory of its long halls and familiar class¬ rooms, that it will be sweet to re¬ call them in the long years tl.nit are to come.

Far in the front of the deadly light, Migh o’er the brave in the cause of Right, Its stainless sheen, like a beacon light, l,ed us to Victory. Out of its scabbard, where, full long. It slumbered peacefully. Roused from its rest by the battle’s song. Shielding the feeble, smiting the strong. Guarding the right, avenging the wrong, Gleamed the sword of Lee. Forth from its scabbard, high in air Beneath Virginia’s sky— And they who saw it gleaming there. And knew who bore it, knelt to swear That where that sword led they would dare To follow—and to die. Out of its scabbard! Never hand Waved sword from stain as free. Nor purer sword led braver band. Nor braver bled for a brighter land. Nor brighter land had a cause so grand, Nor cause a chief like Lee! Forth from its scabbard! how we prayed That sword might victor be; And when our triumph was delayed. And many a heart grew sore afraid. We still hoped on while gleamed the blade Of noble Robert Lee. Forth from its scabbard all in vain Forth flashed the sword of Lee; ’Tis shrouded now in its sheath again. It sleeps the sleep of our noble slain. Defeated, yet without a stain. Proudly and peacefully. —AiiKAM J. Ryan. Valedictory MARGARET KELLER T O THE CLASS OE 1934 the occasion this evening is a momentous one. Our high school careers are rtnished. We stand upon the threshold of new opportunity for development. The spirit of adventure fills our hearts as we go forth to try to improve this world in which we live. There is a great responsibility awaiting us. Every one is beginning to awake to the fact that the depression is not an economic depression but a character depression. The trouble we are now enduring is due to failure in character, therefore these are the times that try men’s souls.” The young people of today must strengthen their own characters and through them influence the characters of others. Take for example the great Virginians who stand as almost perfect examples of noble, sterling character in chaotic periods of their state’s history. Something must account for these wonderful characters for character does not reach such consummate flowering alone, and by accidental causes! At this time many important decisions must be made. In making these decisions we should not allow ourselves to swim with the crowd,” but rather we should form our own opinions and think for ourselves. Dr. Robert Wicks of Princeton University makes the following statement: Wherever we have learned new truth, sensed new beauty, improved taste or found new ways to live, it has never been by the vision of majorities.” C9ur great Virginia leaders withstood every shock of surprise or defeat without a tremor or a doubt. The greatness of their character was as evident in defeat as in the most brilliant victories. We should be prepared to adjust ourselves to varying condi¬ tions and to the supreme tests that are inevitable in life. Since we are launching in a time that tries men’s souls” we should formulate a creed, because a person’s beliefs determine his actions. The first point in a creed that will promote upright character is I believe in a God who is love.” Every one should strive toward that ideal of living which recognizes the supremacy of spiritual values. W ' hen th ere is peace of mind much can be accomplished. I ' lic soi.i iut point in oiir (.rccd slioiild lie, 1 believe In my fellow-men.” What a iiai;ie situation would exist if no one could be trusted. If we are always doubting and siuestioning a person’s actions we can never be successful. The third point should be, 1 believe in myself.” A certain amount of confidence in one’s self is necessary if he would succeed. Every one should study himself and determine wdi. ' .t characteristics and talents are worthy of development. Set a goal tow ard which to work. You may never reach it but it is more delightful to be going somewhere than it is to have arrived. Of course, other beliefs may be added to individual creeds but the three named are essential in a w ' ell-developed life. Mav each of us strive to live nobly and leave after us monuments not of stone but those of kindness and good deeds. We express our sincere appreciation for the guidance that our teachers have faith- fullv given us. We shall try to show this appreciation by living up to the ideals set for us. We have spent many happy hours together at Lee High. Memories of these will aKvays linger in our minds. With a feeling of elation that we are fortunate enough to live in these stirring times, we now go forth with enthusiasm to lend our efforts toward those things which make for noble and upright character. So, w ' e the Class of 1934 say, Farew ' dl.” Saluta tory Katherine Lee O N BEHALF OF THE CLASS OF ’34 I extend to you, our friends, a cordial and hearty welcome. ' There is a true glory and a true honor; the glory of duty done and the honor of integrity of principle.” Duty,” as Lee was wont to say, is the noblest word in the English language.” Duty done to our God, to our fellow-men and to ourselves is the only true glory; and the only true honor is found in the excellence of the things for which we stand. Lee, the great Southern leader, and one of the noblest men our country has ever produced, found these two things. He did his duty, by siding with his belov ' ed State, Virginia, when she chose to secede, and by remaining true to her and suffering the hardships of her people amid the ruin brought on by the War Between the States. Although he loved the Union, and fore-saw a great calamity in the dissolution of it, he said, I am willing to sacrifice everything but honor for its preservation.” Then, when the War was over, and the lone figure in gray returned, he remarked with equal vigor, I did only what my duty demanded; I could have taken no other course without dishonor.” Lee! ' ' I ' hy great soul lives on! Wc know Thou didst not fight in vain. Not fruitless was thy country’s woe, Or unwept all its slain.” We, too, can strive for these two worthwhile things. In the years to come, may we not falter from the path of duty; though at times rough and steep, it is a path of happiness, a path that leads to glory. In times of seeming defeat, if we but do our duty as it should be done; if we but keep to the honest and upright tasks, we will, in reality, turn defeat into glorious victory. t lonoi ' is ,i qii.illty desired by all of us. by taking as our principles and our guides, only the things which are upright and true, we can attain honor. When one has enjoyed the satisfaction and contc ' ntment which comes as a result of this choice, he will be loath to relinguish them. There are many opportunities offered to each one to test his honor; to either lower or elevate its standard. May we meet these tests with a nobleness and an honesty that shrink irom anything untrue. May we, as did Lee, graduate from the held of training with honor, and likewise from the field of experience with honor. W’e hear that in this crowded world, during these depressing times, there is scarcely room for the thousands of students who are graduating from the schools. But, Class of ’.H, there is room for each and every one of us at the top of the ladder. Let us go forth with a determination to win— to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield;” with a determination to achieve the true glory, the glory that comes from doing our duty as it should be done; a determination to attain the true honor, the honor found in the integrity of our principles. May nothing divert us, ever, from the difficult and narrow road which leads us to glory and honor. Class of ’.M, I salute you, and again welcome our friends. Prophecy of ’34 NOW, IN 19 50, the National Recovery Administration, which was established in 193 3, includes every individual in this great nation of ours. It is no longer a National Recovery Administration but a Review of U. S. Citizenry. This great organization employs many hundreds of people. The President of this organization, James Harper, although young is e]uite capable. He has as his assistant or vice-president a con¬ scientious wide-awake man, Frank Holt. It has special agents whose business it is to investigate the public lives of every citizen in the United States. Among the prominent spies, we find Corinne Tomes, Joseph Hassett, and Charles Stephens. They hand in reports to the head secre¬ tary, Miss Dorothy Sinclair Smith, who after assorting them gives them to her under-secretaries, Dorothy Robertson, Bernice Dickinson, and Louise Fearnow. They transcribe these reports from the code to rough typewritten copies ready for the press. This organization has a medical department under the capable supervision of Charles Williams. Edwin Harris and Nathan Chiodi now have an M. D.” to their names, too. Some of the nurses, who take care of the employees when they are sick or injured, are Jane Agner, Louise Hogshead, Lucille Moore, and Jean Shifflett. All of these are graduate nurses for the government is careful to employ only the best in every line of its work. I noticed that many of these positions were filled by my classmates of ’34. I began to look back to those years spent at Lee High and our graduation. I decided to look up the lives” of every one of my class¬ mates so I went to the Congressional Library where the records are kept. Who should be sitting at the head librarian’s desk but Frances Yount! She told me where to find the books for which I was looking, and after vetting them I sat in a secluded corner and read to my heart’s content. This is what I discovered. Robert Belz is a Senator noted for his argu¬ ments for bills that are beneficial to the nation. Ramsey Bosserman is President of the Republican National Committee. Sam Holsmger and Toe Kinney represent the State of Virginia in the House of Representa- ti os. I.uncs riiDiiias who had iraining as a leader when President of the 1 li-Y Club, is now Governor of the Mother of States, Virginia. Now 1 turn over the pages to find something about the girls. Doroth) ' Cohen, Ph. D., is President of Farmville State Teachers’ College, and Margaret Roller is Dean of Women at William and Mary College. Man) ' girls seem inclined to be beauty culturists among whom are Jean Jordan, Arnesa Leavell, Katherine Lee, and Dorothy Wright. Margaret Tat ' lor and Eleanor Serrett are technicians in the State Hospital in Dat’ton, Ohio. In Woodward and Lothrop’s we find Reba Wilson, who is probably busy right now designing a dress for the great movie star, Dorothy Feagle, to wear in her latest play written by Frederick Scant¬ ling. John Shelley will be the added attraction. He is now the world’s greatest comedian. Some of the graduates went back to the old home town for in the public schools in Staunton I discovered that Virginia Davis is kindergarten teacher, Jessie Doome is physical instructor, Helen Lackey is Home Ec inomics teacher, Marjorie Hoover is an art instructor and Phyllis Rowe is a Latin teacher. Agnes Mays has won fame as an artist. Jane Nichol has finally settled down and become a physical education teacher at Virginia Intermont. I read that Nellie Gardner is a buyer for an exclusive shop on Fifth Avenue and that Sara Bell Dick¬ erson and Harris Petry are partners in a big law firm in Chicago. Geraldine Berry has proved to us that two can live happily together. Kenneth Clemmer, the great architect of the South, has constructed many beautiful and artistic buildings. Jack Fret well is leader of a famous radio broadcasting orchestra in which George Doome plays. Bly Wayland and Harry Rohr are electrical engineers. Russell Clem is chaplain of a company in the United States Navy, whose commanding officer is Tony Marino. Wilson Campbell is Government Forester in Yosemite National Park. Billy DePrlest captains the International Base¬ ball team on which Ambrose Kessler and Douglas Stogdale play. Gordon Cleveland is editor of the New York Times and Philip Shultz is a leading journalist. All of the members of my class inspired by their motto —hat we arc to be ivc are now becoming ' certainly prepared themselves for what they were to become, for they all are doing well in most important professions or pc sitions.

As its name implies, it is literally a mountain of stone, 5,000 feet long, seven miles around the base, and a mile to the summit up the sloping side. Time has not produced the slightest decay in this ' great granite naonster’ during all the ages since ' a laboring earth disgorged it bare to sun and storm’. A million years of erosion have touched it as lightly as the clouds touch the sky. Since the dawn of creation it has stood as it stands when we gaze upon it, unchanged, unchanging, im¬ perishable. On its northern side Stone Mountain drops in a sheer, naked precipice almost a thousand feet from summit to base. Across this mammoth page of granite is to be engraved a perpetual and indesruct- ible monument to the men who fought, suffered, sacrificed and died for the Southern Confederacy.” S roNE MtauNTAiN Coni liDi-RA IE .Monumeneai Associai ion Work on this monument is being carried on under H. Augustus Lukeman, a Southern artist, native of Richmond. In 1925, Lukeman succeeded Cut;zon Borglum as sculptor for the gigantic project, and made entirely new designs. These new plans call for a group of equestrian figures, 153 feet in height—as high as a ten-story office build¬ ing—to be carved out of the solid granite of Stone Mountain. Because of the size of the work, the actual sculpturing cannot be the task of the artist, but is rather a job for dril¬ lers. Ltikeman’s duties, in addition to supervision, consist of preparing master models. These designs are transferred to Stone Mountain by a series of mathematical measurements which plot the course of every curve, holes being drilled at intervals to trace the pattern. Equestrian figures of General Lee, General Jackson, and Jefferson Davis, posed ready to review the marching army, will make up the first group. General Lee’s head was partially completed when Lukeman took over the work. An idea of the gigantic size of the hgure may be gained from the fact that, at the unveiling of Lee’s head, thirtt ' people sat down on the shoulder of the statue. Directly behind the three leaders will be two color-bearers and four other generals, chosen by the historical societies of the South. The third group will show the marching army, so designed as to give the illusion of thousands of marching solders. Directly beneath the sculpture, at the ground level, will appear thirteen Ionic columns, one for each of the Confederate States, forming an entrance to the huge Memorial Hall that is to be hollowed out of the rock, and dedicated to the women of the South. The scheme includes also a tomb of an Unknown Soldier, and a museum. The financial part of the undertaking is in charge of the Stone Mountain Con¬ federate Memorial As ociation, at the head of which is the honorary president of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. Funds have been collected for the monument, both in the North and in the South. Under the authority of Congress, 5,000,000 coins memorializing the project were minted in 1926. These fifty-cent pieces at first sold for one doll. ' r, but after a few months the price was advanced to two dollars.” — I ' hc World Book —Vol. 11.

This year the play was one written especially for high school students and aad no one leading part, thereby putting the cast on a more equal basis and giving the individuals a better chance to show their ability Shirt Sleeves” was the story of the effects of the depression, with which we are all too familiar, on a well to do family composed of father, Philip Shultz, mother, Dorothy Feagle, two daughters, Dorothy Wright and Reba Wilson, two sons, Nathan Chiodi and Jack Fretwell. When Philip loses his money in the crash, he also loses his popularity with all his family except faithful Nathan and Reba. After several enlight¬ ening experiences, with bewiskered Russel Clem, the vdlain, Elmer the milkman, and the fast-talking super auctioneer, Gordon Cleveland, the family decide that being poor isn’t so bad after all, and start all over again making money, proving that the depression helped some people—a rare case. It was cleverly done and the audience enjoyed it. Now if the juniors expect to do better next year, they have a considerable task before them. We’ll be right there in thirty-five to pass judgment on them. SPRING CONCERT When the time comes for the Spring Concert, everyone is happy because it means not only an enjoyable entertainment, but marks the official beginning to us of that most- welcome season—beautiful spring. When the trees begin to bud and the flowers start to bloom, the Staunton public schools present this program so that the city and the world in general may hear how they feel about the new buds and sprouts. This year an unusually large number of students took part. They presented a program which included dances, p-imary rhythm, stories about Robin Hood and the classics. A wide selec¬ tion, but—Oh, Spring, good old Spring is in the air. PUBLIC LITERARY PROGRAM T he contest between the Phoenix and Philomathean literary societies to decide which has the privilege of engraving its name on the silver plaque is to be held on May eleventh. Roth the declaimers are Philomatheans, but both the orators are Phoenix, so the outcome depends on the result of the debate, which, those who know, say will be very, very close. Both teams have had experience in arguing their subject, Resolved: That There Should Be a County Manager System in Staunton.” The teams have debated with Charlottesville and Waynesboro with fairly good results but all efforts, as may be expected, will be put forth in this final trial on May the eleventh, and if the members of the two societies show the support they are expected to, there should be quite an entertainment Friday night. The Phoenix have pinned their hopes on Gordon Cleveland and Cecil Macintosh, while the Philomatheans are placing high hopes on Dorothy Cohen and Sara Dickerson. This seems to be a battle between the sexes, and the latest news is the girls representing the Ph ' lomathean SocTty won the cup. y 5 - d f Jl at r6ll ?£ ' fU ' i t.

Would that we who are to represent our class in the literary section could paint you vivid word pictures. Lacking the ability to do this we are deeply grateful for the honor of l.iaving what we offer printed in the Rec¬ ord, and trust that some little pleasure may be derived from reading it. Class Poem I RANCFS YOUNT We’ve come to the end of our high school days, As knights on our powerful steeds, Our armour all polished and shining bright. Zealously eager to keep in the lead. As Freshman we started on our road. Fearfully entering an unknown way. Unacquainted with the perils and hardships ahead And the tasks to be done each day. But within the heart of each of us. Lay the will, that force unseen. That hews its way to any goal Though walls of granite intervene. No chance, no destiny, no fate. No obstacles of mighty force Can circumvent or hinder The action of the will in its course. For years we have eagerly striven. Pressing ever toward our quest. And now at the close of those happy years We feel that we’ve done our best. May we, as we start on the open road Be gallant and valiant knights all. May we make the world a better place And tread in the victor’s hall. Lee The Civilian By GORDON CLEVELAND R obert EDWARD lee, the idol of the South!” Volumes and volumes have been written about this great Southerner and his war campaigns, but to me, in this time of peace it seems more fitting that one should write of Lee’s civilian life after the war when he worked to restore peace and harmony, not to destroy them. Following his surrender at Appomatox Court Elouse, Lee for the first time in his life became a civilian, but was not a citizen. After the surrender he settled quietly at Richmond to await the outcome of the situation. During his stay in Richmond he went about giving advice to his old soldiers and friends. Lee believed in full submission to the con¬ querors. He believed that instead of holding a grudge against the North, that the people of the South should be friendly and try to create harmony between the two sections. His advice to his fpllowers was to settle down at home, and to unite in the restoration of the country and the re¬ establishment of peace and harmony. That all should unite in honest efforts to obliterate the effects of the war and to restore the blessings of peace.” The people listened to his advice, and did as he said, for he was still their general. When Lee was finally assured of his parole he set out to find a country home where he could quietly spend his later years. He took long trips on the back of his famous war-horse, Traveler,” looking for a place that suited him. He was so loved by his countrymen that many offered to give him homes, lands, money, etc.; all of these, of course, he graciously refused. He finally decided on a house for the summer. This was in 186 T The home was named Derwent,” and belonged to Mrs. Elizabeth Randolph Cocke. During the summer Lee was trying to decide how he could support himself and his family. He was offered several positions in colleges; for example a position in the University of Virginia, the University of the South, and the presidency of Washington College. He refused the first two because he thought he was not able to do the work. However, when he received the offer from Washington College he began to think seriously about it. The position did not offer much money, great honor or distinction, or even a chance to rest after the hardships of the war. and lie was advised by friends that many schools of greater repute would like to have him as their head, and that these positions would offer greater distinction. Lee’s judgement was, however, that the cause gave dignity to the institution and not the wealth of its endowment or the renown of its scholars. His only reason for hesitancy was that he wished to assure himself that he was competent to fulfill his trust and make his few re¬ maining years a comfort and a blessing to his country and his country¬ men. On October 2, 1865, in the presence of the trustees, professors, and students he took his oath of office and was inaugurated as president of Washington College. The remainder of 1865, and the year 1866 was a very strenuous time for the aging general. People all over the South were seeking his picture, autograph or his advice. His wife was ill with rheumatism, and his daughters were unaccustomed to housework, therefore, he took upon himself the responsibility of establishing his home. Outside he prepared a garden, planted fruit trees, made walls, etc. Inside he directed the furnishing of the house and at first went so far as to assist in the cook¬ ing. His duties at the college kept him very busy but, nevertheless, he always had time for his home and his family. He was a constant adviser and aid to his sons who had established themselves on small farms. Lee’s son Robert Jr., says that he was always an ideal father. Lee made many improvements at the college; he built walks, and walls, and improved the lawns. He created a new feeling between the student and their teachers. Professor Edward S. Joynes, in an article published in the University Monthly” following Lee’s death said, He had from the beginning of his presidency a distinct policy and plan which he had fully conceived and to which he steadily adhered, so that all his particular measures of progress were but consistent steps in its development. His object was nothing less than to establish and perfect means to be provided in advance, he proceeded to develop his project . . . The results . . . were due directly and immediately, more than to all other causes to the personal ability and influence of General Lee as President.” Lee’s interest in the students individually and collectively was un¬ tiring. He knew each one by name. On one occasion a name was read in a faculty meeting; Lee asked it to be read again, and repeated it to him¬ self, adding, I have no recollection of a student of that name. It is very strange that I have forgotten him. I thought I knew every one in college. How long has he been here?” It was discovered upon investigation that the student had recently entered during Lee’s absence, and that he had never seen him. Lee was always a great lover of children. He also loved animals, especially horses. He was very fond of Traveler” and could be seen in the worst weather giving him a breather” as he called it, by racing him along one of his favorite trails nearby. In writing to his clerk in Lex¬ ington while he, Lee, was at Llot Springs, he said: How is ' Traveler?’ Tell him I miss him dreadfully and have repented of our separation but once—and that is the whole time since we parted.” It was the greatest delight of the neighborhood children to have the General lift them up on his horse and take them for a ride. Every one in the country knew him and his horse. One day while riding on one of his favorite trails in the mountains with his daughter, Mildred, they came upon a group of very dirty children, to whom they made a suggestion about the advisability of the use of a little water. The children took one long stare at the General and his daughter, and scampered up the road. A little farther up the road they came to a little house where the children ran out to the road, (incidentally with their faces conspicuously clean) and cried out, We know you are General l.ee, we got your picture.” Although never in really good health, and finding it necessary to make frequent visits to Hot Springs and White Sulphur Springs, Lee continued to work and look after his business apparently as untiringly as ever. He often had to take long trios, and always rode horseback which was very tiring. Many of these visits and business trips were to Staun¬ ton. On one occasion, the summer of 1868 , Lee arrived in Staunton during the Augusta County Fair, where the Staunton people received him with great demonstrations of delight. A student of Washington College standing by, remarked dryly: I don’t see why the Staunton people make all this to do over General Lee; why in Lexington he sends for me to come to see him.” Later Lee expressed himself as pleased with the Fair and the progress of the people of Augusta County since the war. In the spl•iI of 1869, l.cc visited lialtimorc to join a delegation seeking the aid of Baltimore in getting a railroad from Salem to Staunton. 1 lere e en in Northern territory he was greeted with deafening roars from the thousands who had gathered to see him. When it was learned that he was at St. Paul ' s church, large numbers gathered to await his exit, waiting patiently and quietly until the congregation was dismissed. As he appeared at the door, all heads were uncovered and kept so until he had passed through the long lines extending down the street. It is quite possible that much of this deep respect shown him was due to his impres- si ■e figure. He was erect, dignihed, had a kind face, white hair and beard, a great man whii held his chin up even after an apparent defeat. Upon his return he was asked how he enjoyed his visit. With a sad smile, he said: Very much; but they would make too much fuss over the old rebel.” One of his daughters rebuked him about the hat he wore at the time and he replied: You don’t like my hat? Why, I have seen a whole city full of people come out to admire it.” From the spring of 1869 until his death, Lee’s health and vitality were failing him. In the summer his brother. Smith Lee, died, which was a great sorrow to the General. Most of the summer was spent at White Sulphur Springs, and in the fall he was back at his work at the college. He was at this time stricken with a cold which lasted weeks, and from the effects of which he never entirely recovered. During the winter he was offered several business positions in the North but having decided to give himself to the service of Washington College, he refused them all. His health was now failing fast and he was no longer able to give Traveler” his frequent breathers.” The last of March he listened to his physician’s advice and took a trip south through North Carolina, down to Savannah, Georgia. On his return he stopped at Wilmington for y short time and was greatly honored during his stay. By now, Lee was beginnig to realize that there was something wrong with his heart and he was also convinced that it was incurable. From the first of July 1870 to September of the same year Lee was visiting friends and relatives. His trip terminated at Hot Springs where he remained a large portion of this period. On September 28, he was back at his work, and on that same day attended a vestry meet¬ ing of the church which lasted until seven o’clock due to extra business. The church was damp and somewhat uncomfortable. He acted as chairman and closed the meeting as usual, and although he seemed very tired and flushed no apprehension arose as to his condition. He returned home, immediately, where tea was waiting. As he rose to say grace he was unable to speak, and took his seat quietly with a look of sublime resignation upon his face. His family knew in a few moments that his overflowing life was nearing its end. His physicians were called but it was of no use. Just twelve days later on October 10, 1870 he died. Still he lay, es the dawn yielded to a brighter day. On that day a truly great man passed from this earth. His life was full to overflowing with service for his people and his country. He was a very devout man all during his life, stopping to pray even in the midst of a battle. Words have been written, and words have been spoken about Lee, the soldier, the general, triumphant in defeat, but, with all his genius as a soldier, he was no less great as a civilian. But greater than all of these is the fact that, it is doubtful whether he ever committed an act that would reflect upon his moral self, weighed in the light of his con¬ sciousness.” Lee! The great and good man, the gray knight of the lost cause.” Lex and His Soldiers DOROTHY ROBERTSON P erhaps no other general in the history of the world has been more tenderly loved than Lee. Why? The answer is obvious: Because he loved his men. His mi litary accomplishments may have been rivaled, or even surpassed by other great comanders, such as Wellington and Napoleon, both of whom excited the admiration and aroused the confidence and enthusiasm of their soldiers; but neither was loved as Lee was loved. They thought of the men under them as mere machines to be hurled against the enemy. The question of human life was not of importance in their cold-blooded calculations; with martial hearts and plotting minds they sent their soldiers to face destruction. But General Lee always thought of his men as fellow-beings as well as soldiers. A striking evidence of his thoughfulness is found in his habit of turning over to his wounded and sick soldiers the food prepared and sent to him by friends and admirers. Another proof is found in his constant refus: ! to ask his men to risk their lives in positions where he himself would not go. In return for the thoughtful epnsideration and friendliness he extended to the soldiers he received the undying love and devotion, amounting almost to idolatry, of every man enlisted in the Confederate Army. More than once, when it was evident that General Lee intended to lead the charge himself, or in anyway expose himself to danger, his men refused to charge until he had consented to go to a less dangerous position. In the memory of his surviving officers and soldiers are many instances that show the friendly interest he had for his men and their love for him. Reverend J. William Jones, Chaplain of the Army of Northern Virginia, recalls a wish voiced, by a ragged private whom Lee met one day while riding on a lonely road. The soldier stood with his head uncovered as his General rode by and was treated with all possible respect by the great commander. As Lee rode on, the soldier enthusiastically exclaimed: God bless Marse Robert! I wish he was emperor of this country, and that I was his caiTiage-driver.” upon another occasion General Lee was deeply touched by the following letter which he received from one of his soldiers: Dear General: We have been fighting hard for four years, and now the Yankees have got us in Libby Prison. They are treating us awful bad. The boys want you to get us out, but, if you can’t just ride by the Libby, and let us see you and give you a good cheer. We will all feel better after it.” A friend of Lee’s, traveling in Eastern Virginia after the war, met a young man who had given up high honors in college and in his chosen profession to follow Lee to victory or defeat. This man, at the time of the meeting, was plowing in a field, guiding the plow with one hand, while an empty sleeve hung at his side. The traveler spoke to the young man in a sympathetic way and received this reply: Oh it’s all right. I thank God that I have one arm left, and an opportunity to use it for the support of those I love.” And he cheerfully went back to work, still guiding the plow with one hand, and singing in a clear, ringing voice a stanze of one of General Lee’s favorite hymns, which was later sung during his burial services: In every condition—in sickness, in health, In poverty’s vale, or abounding in wealth. At home and abroad, on the land, on the sea. As Thy days may demand, shall Thy strength ever be.” This same friend carried Lee’s greetings to many of his former followers. As this message was repeated, strong men wept and said, God bless the old chief; he is the noblest specimen of a man that ever lived.” These memories—and there are many more—all voice the same love and devotion which the Southern soldiers held for the General and prove that he was probably the most highly loved and regarded of all commanders. Athletics Siin ' c the ccirlicst times uhen the whole world met at the great OLYMPIC Games in Greece, ath¬ letic sports have stood high in public favor. We, at Lee High, have learned many tilings from oar sports that hooks have failed to impress upon us — sportsmanship, teamwork, and above all loyalty to our school. Win or lose, our boys are proud to play for Lee High, and win or lose, we are always proud of our teams and proud to give them our whole¬ hearted su pport. , 3y- .♦ ♦•JT T ' S oit,«j Football Schedule Sept. 29- —Lee 6 Oct. 6- -Lee 52 Oct. 13- -Lee 12 Oct. 20- -Lee ,, 7 Oct. 27- —Lee , , .27 Nov. 3- —Lee 0 Nov. 10- —Lee 19 Nov. 17- —Lee 26 Miller School . 2 0 Hot Springs 0 W .tynesboro 0 Cov ington 20 Culpeper , 0 Charlottesville 24 Harrisonburg 6 hives 6 (j sJflr. ghin?? drive. .- ' fre defensive -.ercepHoce of S ed to ij-jg i i{ ' t ?fid, furntsUed period (Uriji whf i toi t ' .venty 3 gftiaJag atfir thm f.i i:.r;4 and ‘■ ' ee3jtetl {5iul rtiii oiT Ack]e tfeai tu luiu !lie asd xone t ' r oot} aittre, Nuh ba«k. ;u� «i6a !syr?e4 a i tnuchdown. - iddy. «lvfay« good dofonsivo ' !“ e re i aumWji of good 3v: ' in ffce oaaTchvs fo? iosicb- , His o -t� oKlo arslica wera ' - red t ' rsHIy by tbo crowd.

' ihto.r tb Mas for t ru fljoro yaie Football CHARLES STEPHENS About forty candidates answered Coach Doran’s call for football material. Prospects were fairly i;ood, as nine of last year’s letter-men returned. After a week of conditioning the squad began in earnest to work, preparing for their first game. Lj E 6 Miller School 20 In the first game of the season Lee met Miller’s School and were defeated 20-6. Miller scored first and Lee retaliated, making in the second quarter, her only touchdown. Miller came back strong to tally twice more. Lee, in scoring position several limes, lacked the punch to score. Lee 5 2 Hot Springs 0 Meeting Hot Springs, a newcomer, at home, Lee easily swamped them ' � 2-0. Lee’s reserve team played the second half scoring two touchdowns. Hot Springs was outclassed by the inspired Leeman. Lee 12 Waynesboro 0 Lee journeyed to Waynesboro, for the first game away from home of the season, and defeated W’ilson Hi 12-0. Scoring on successive first downs, gave Lee a lead never threatened. Lel 7 Covington 20 l.ee next traveled to Covington to meet the strong Cougar eleven. Lee worked well but failed to score because of penalties. Covington came back strong and Lee took the short end of a 20-7 score. Lee 27 Culpeper 0 Lee played Culpeper next to win by a 27-0 score. Lee was in fine shape and had little trouble rolling up a substantial score. Culpeper returned home a sadly defeated eleven. Lee. 0 Charloi TLSViLLE 24 Lee next faced the strong aggregation from Charlottesville and were defeated. Our boys worked hard but passes and plays failing to click gave Lee the short end of a 24-0 score. Lee 19 Harrisonburg 6 Lee met her ancient rivals on tlieir own field and defeated them to the tune of 19-6. The Leemen displayed rare teamwork and spirit and upset an over-confident Harrisonburg eleven to take the game 19-6. Lee 26 Ceiarlottesvillh Fives 6 Lee met the famed Fives here and again displaying excellent teamwork defeated them 26-6. Lee looked good and played excellent ball. Lee closed the season winning by the brilliant score of 26-6. Although suffering three defeats, the Leemen may well boast of a successful season. Wins over Harrisonburg and W ' aynesboro, almost constitute a successful season. Besides these Lee won over the Fives, Culpeper, and Hot Springs. Losing to Miller School, Covington, and Charlottesville, each a powerful machine, detracts none from their record. May next year’s team be equally successful. EDWARD NULl. Quarter-Back, Caj ta ' m Again Ed” Null, Captain of this year’s aggregation of the Fighting Leeman proved himself one of the greatest and most capable quarter-backs Lee has ever had. Shifty, elusive, a hard tackier and a sure blocker, Ed was respected by friend and foe alike. His spirit and undying courage was one of the main reasons for the Leemens’ victories. Last year and this, he received the gold football given by Coach Doran, to the most valuable player on the team, in the eyes of his teammates. rhis is pAldie’s last year at Lee, he having placed four years of varsity football at Lee, and he in¬ tends to go away to school; we shall watch him and know he’ll make a big success wherever he goes. HOUSTON GADDY Half-hack, Capfaiu-Elect Daddy” this year proved himself one of the most dependable backs in years. A good blocker, a liard tackier, and a constant scrapper, Gaddy was a man of whom to be proud. Because of these things he has been elected captain of next year’s team. We know he’ll make good and wish him all the luck possible. NATHAN CHIODI Half hack After playing three years of varsity football, Chick” leaves us. A fast, elusive runner, and a consistent ground gainer, Chick” was a valuable cog in our offensive. Also a capable pass receiver, Chick” was responsible for many of our long gains, that way. He’s a Senior this year and intends to go away to school. W ' e’ll miss him and wish him lots of luck. ANTHONY MARINO Halfhack Tony,” after being out a year returned to the folds of Lee Hi, to once niore wear the blue and white. Tony ' s” tackling and blocking made him feared wherever he went. He was also a great de¬ fensive man. Always ready to hit the line, he accounted for a good many first downs. He leaves us this year but we’ll know he’ll make good. Luck to you, Tony.” JAMI S ri K MAS CcuU r IV oncc nunc proved his .il ' ilitN as an excellent center. A sure passer on the otlense and an excel¬ lent tackier on the detense, D” n as always in the thick ot things. I-ncoura iii); and bracing; his team¬ mates. 1) was liked hv all. lie leaves us this year and are we ' orry to see him o! HARRY RC ' )11R Vid!hark 1 larrv ' completed his second year of varsity hall this season and a);ain proved his ability to handle the hall. An excellent passer, he threw many for lon ,i;ains. A sure tackier and blocker, he was an excelletu detense man. As a ptiiuer he was unexcelled, and an outstanding oflensive runner. A calm, cAiMc ' cted persott under tire, he was an integral part of our team. Me leaves us this year and we will sorely miss him. WILLIAM Ia:)TTS Guard Playini; his second year of varsity hall, dither” a ;am demonstrated his versatility. An excellent blocker, a hard tackier, he was a stone wall on the defense. A great interferer, he was always at the right place at the right time. As for scrap, Tiger had his share. Me was alw ' ays giving his best and always scrapping. Me’ll be back next year and will he be welcome? I’ll sav so! SIDNLY WILSON Tarklc Sid also finishes two years of varsity competition this season. Rugged, rangy, and powerful Sid was a mainstay in our line and was generally troubling the offense. Sid was also a good interferer wdien called upon to do so. Me will not return next year. We certainly will be sorry not to have him with us. DLNNLS MITCHF.LL Oiiartcrhark Denny made good this year for the first time and proved he deserved his letter. An excellent interferer and blo.ker, he was a valuable cog in our machine. Me was also a good passer and punter and able to plav most any backfield position. Me’ll be back next year, a w ' clcome addition to our team. AMBROSE KESSLER End Ammy although out before for football had never made good until this year. He has come through this year with flying colors. Down aways under punts, and a good blocker and tackier, Ammy was the spark-plug of the line. Few plays got outside of him, and hiA end was always good for several yards. He’s a senior this year and he will be sorely missed. LACY REED End and Center Another example of You can’t keep a good man down. I.acy was out several times before but never made gotid until this year. A kind of utility man, Lacy played both end and center positions w ell. A good blocker and tackier, he alw ' ays wms fighting. He will be back next year and we’re waiting for him. CLARENCE HUME Tackle Clarence came through for the first time this year, too. A huge bulwark of defense, he smeared main- plays and players. An excellent blocker, he also was a good offensive man. Me tackled w-e!l and also, did a little punting and passing. He w-ill return next year and we are looking forward for big things from Clarence. JOHN SEATON Tackle Chubby” after two years of varsity competition again proved his prow-ess. fie w-as a veritable man-mountain on the defense and a tow-er of strength on the offense. He improved w-ith each game and w-e know- he w-ill make a name for himself when he returns. JOHN HERNDON johnny a new-comer to Lee, proved to all of us that he knew- football, and a hard tackier, johnny w-as a great guard. Playing in of himself. Lie was a good interferer and always under punts. GEORGE STEPHENSON George w-on his monogram for the first time this year good blocker, he was alw-ays in the fight. A sturdy scrapper and a fiery fighter, he offense. Lie returns next year and is w-elcome. CHARLES STEPHENS Steve” w-as another who made g ood on the last attempt, good until this year. Always down under punts and always giving his best, Steve developed into a good end. fie was a good tackier and blocker and alw-ays tried his best. fle’s a senior this year and we are sorry to lose him. . EDWIN HARRIS £ and Ihdfhack Fd w-as still another who made good his Senior year. Little but loud he alw-ays gave a good acctuint of himself. A good blocker and tackier, he alw-ays smeared a good many plays. He w-as a fast end and an elusive halfback. He leaves us this year much to our regret. IfMMIE BRYAN and REMBERT SIRON Mana,i’ers I ape,” Fluid,” Iodine, these cries filled the locker room many times but jimmie and Rem supplied the demand. Cheerful and ready to help they played a large part in the hie of our team. Fquipment w-as safe and supplies alw-ays handy. We hope all future manager may be as popular and as w-ell liked. Guard An excellent blocker, difficult position, he gave a good account He w ' lll be back and w-i!I he be w-elcome? Guard and he deserved it.

This past season the Leemen established a record t)f sixteen consecutive victories before Itising to a fighting Harrisonburg five. Lee then took the rest of her games. Lee and Harrisonburg tied for first place in the race for the district title. liach had a record of 19 victories and one defeat, administered one to the other. May all future teams of Lee Hi look back at the combination of Rohr, J. Cliiodi, Bryan, DePriesi, and Mitchell—one which will be long remembered. Individual Players WIl 1,1AM 1)1 PRirST Guard, Captain liill” Lovorcd himself with tiirthcr glory this year and lived up to everything expected of him. C aptain ot tins year’s hve, he guided it unerringly and faithfully. An excellent shot, he made the points when needed. He was always fighting and giving his best, and was always calm and collected. He graduates this year and will be sorely missed. [FMMIE BRYAN Center Capfu n-Elecf Poo-Poo” after his secotvd year of varsity basketball proved beyond a doubt, his merit. He was one of the best centers in this district. A long shot was his delight. Pew opponents out-jumped him. A good defensive man and offensive shooter was found in Jimmie. He is so liighly thought of that he has been elected captain for next year. We wish him all the luck in the world. HARRY ROHR Forivard Bringing three years of varsity basketball to a close, Rohr further distinguished himself. His passing ability and his floor work made him a major p rz of the team. His basketball ability coupled with his scrap made him a man to be feared. He leaves u this year and we are wondering if we can fill his place. JOSEPH CHIODl Foniard Joe, stellar forward of the Lee men, this year exhibited the most versatile brand of basketball ever seen on the Lee Hi Moor. Shooting from all angls and in every position, Joe rang up point after point. Idis passwork and tloorwork brought praise from all of his opponents. He will be back next year and we’ll welcome him with open arms, DENNIS MITCHEL Guard Mitch” also came through this year with an excellent brand of basketball. His long shots and floor work made a name for him in sports at Lee Hi. A steady scrapper and his versatility made him respected by his opponents. He will return next year and we will be looking for him. EDWARD NULL Guard Eddie” playing his second year of basketball Improved greatly. His tloorwork and scrapping ability made him an all round basketball man. He was steady and calm and a good ball player. He will not be back and we will all miss him greatly. aNATHAN CHIODl Guard Nathan again proved his ability to step in whenever needed. Though not a regular this year he played the game well. A fast dribbler, sure passer and good shot made him a good all round guard. He graduates this year and we will miss him a lot. JAMES THOMAS Forward D” won his monogram for the first time this year and proved he deserved it. He gave his best and played hard always. He was a good floorman and an excellent passer. He graduates too and we will be sorry to lose him. Here’s luck to you D”. JOSEPH HASSETT Center Hassett came out for basketball after examinations. He again proved that lie knew his stuff. Bring¬ ing his second year of varsity basketball to a close he made himself a name. A good shut and a heady player, he was a valuable asset to the team. He graduates this year and will be missed much. JACK FRETWELL Forward Jack is another examp e of making good on the last attempt. Out before but unable to make the grade he came out this year and made it. A good shot, a good passer and floor man he always gave his best. He’ll be surely missed next year, as he graduates in June. Good-bye.” CHARLES STEPHENS and EDWIN HARRIS ' Ed and Charlie” seemed to be able to handle the team of ’.W fairly well. Each was cheerful and always ready to help out with ecjuipment or supplies, d hey minded the equipment well and kept the players in a good humor. We hope next year’s managers will be just as good.
