Roosevelt High School - Rohian Yearbook (Virginia, MN)

Text from Pages 1 - 88 of the 1951 volume:

THE 1951 It is to all our former teachers that we, members of the Class of 1951, dedicate this annual. For the thirteen years—from kindergarten, when we played in sandboxes and napped on the floor, to the time we shed these child-like pastimes with the lofty dignity of sixth graders; from our days in the seventh grade when we finally learned the new routine and our way around the junior high school to our ninth grade days character- ized by our finally being freshmen and having a gala class party; and from our sophomore year, through parties, proms, and paper drives, to this, our senior year—our teachers have taught, guided, and advised us. To show our appreciation for all that they have done for us, we dedicate this 1951 ROHIAN to them— our teachers. Zable of Contents OUR LEADERS — JOHN H IIND. Principal GENE M.

The Boord of Educolion, meeting regularly on the second ond fourth Tuesday of every month, fokes up motters of finonce ond policy affecting the welfare of every student in high school. These meetings are open to the public. A CONCENTRATION IN THE WORLD OF ENGLISH NOTE DON MADICH S PLACID INTEREST AND JAMES ALASPA S DETERMINED EFFORT. MR. SCHWARTZ MISS OGREN MISS FILK MISS ZEIDLER MISS HEAIY MISS SUKER ENGLISH — Study thoroughly, saycth Miss Ogren, sophomore English teacher in reference to a sophomore selection, Silas Marner.” The students, under the spell of their teacher’s stern but kind eyes, were equally under the spell of the immortal story. Other units of English study included elements of style and functional grammar, as well as contemporary essays and biographies. COMMERCE — What effective time-savers! exclaim these enlightened commercial students as they investigate the intricacies of the mimeo- scope, mimeograph, and the various adding machines. Tabulator stops set—; machines at double spacing?” These familiar words are heard by all commercial students as they nimbly exercise their fingers for the daily speed tests. MISS WEST MISS SMITH 6 MISS AMBROSE MISS AURE MR OMAN SCIENCE — Johnny and Jane Rohian explore the world of unknowns” in the chem lab, re- membering the words of Mr. Oman: My job is to get you people back safely to your parents at the end of this course.” In the physics lab, students play” with levers and pulleys; and in the biology laboratory, students inspect the fascinating microscopic world. MATHEMATICS — If x plus y equals q, what docs t equal?” Mr. Rowbottom patiently explains the mysteries of algebra to his perplexed Sophs. With his well-known sunburst” smile, Mr. Eide drills geometry students. (That’s if they survive algebra!!) Still more advanced on the ladder is complacent Mr. Sims with quadratic equations and logarithms. MR. EIDE MR ROWBOTTOM MISS HAIVORSON MISS SIMONS MR. MclLVENNA MR. ANDERSON SOCIAL SCIENCE — History is always in the making ; thus Sophs view pictures of eminent eople in the news today. Juniors and Seniors eep in step with information by weekly Ob- servers and Newsweeks . Or do they? With echoes of Mac's What’s that? ... , the stories of everyday life mingle with those of long ago. HOME ECONOMICS Hemming, stitching, basting, and ripping are the major activities of the sewing classes as the girls tackle everything from making shortie coats, jersey blouses, and graduation dresses to knitting argyle stockings; while the cooking classes come forward with many tantalizing dishes to make one’s mouth water. MISS WADD LIBRARY — Peace and solitude (?) invade this corner of Roosevelt High. While busy minds think aloud, Miss Wadd, the ever-guiding librar- ian, works diligently on the books that line the walls. Library helpers, armed with paste pots, scissors, erasers, cards, and stamps, add an air of energetic activity. INDUSTRIAL ARTS — The industrial shops and Smith-Hughes trade classes—home of future mechanics, printers, draftmen, and electricians. Mid the whirr of lathes mingled with the clatter of motors and hum of linotype mats, students tinker with intricate mechanisms while learning the various vocational skills. M8. RUTHENBECK MR. JORGENSON MR. SMITH MR. POTTSMITH MR. 2EIMET MISS BROOKS CONSOLES THESE SHIVERING MERMAIDS WHILE THE GIRLS IN THE BALCONY DEMONSTRATE THE CORRECT FORM MISS BROOKS MISS FRYMILLER GIRLS PHYSICAL ED — Cut out all the clap- trap! These words unmistakably belong to Miss Frymiller, the instructor of the modern Dianas, energetic with efficiency tests, basketball, baseball, and all forms of sports. In the swimming pool, Miss Brooks converts high shrieks and guffaws in- to graceful dolphins or useful carriers in lifesaving. PHYSICAL EDUCATION—The sounds of bones cracking (almost) and of joints squeaking arc heard as the boys limber up by practicing a few dozen push-ups . With nothing short of Charles Atlas as their model, they go through precision exercises combined with various sports, not to mention senior lifesaving in the swimming classes. MR. MICHELS MR SIMS THESE HEARTY ROHIANS ARE NOT CLOWNING ING DAILY PRECISION DRILLS. THEY ARE JUST PRACTIC 10 AUDREY BEYSTROM AND LORRAINE LANARI REACH THE HIGH SOPRANO NOTES WHILE MARTIN VIR- SHEK AND VIOLET OLIVANTI TAKE CARE OF THE ALTO IN AN INFORMAL MUSICAL SESSION. MR. DAVIS MR. HUMPAl MR. GEARY MR. ZIEMER MUSIC — Pianissimo” is the melody these musi- cal Ro-Hi songsters are warbling in an effort to overpower Mr. Ziemer’s superb accompaniment. Over in the Band Hall, the various squeaks and groans from the many instruments scale the walls. The orchestra and band are under the baton of Mr. Davis and Mr. Humpal, respectively. ART — These modern sculptors are trying to delve into the realms of color, line, and funda- mental design. Miss Moberg, the goal-setter of the art room, constantly urges students on to greater achievements in clay modeling, pastel and oil painting, chip carving, and developing various national peasant designs into new combinations.

The curtain-raiser saw the Devils win over a highly favored Falls team by a nine-point margin. Taking to the road, the Virginians lost in the last two minutes to the Ely Timberwolves. Virginia then won two in a row before losing to the powerful Hibbing eleven. Virginia tied Chisholm on a long pass play from Walters to Boril. The Blue Devil Homecoming was spoiled by the Golden Bears from Eveleth as the Hilltoppers ran all over the Devils. In the annual selection of the All-Range team, Virginia was represented by Bernard Marchetti, co-captain and guard. The loss of George Pogorelc midway in the season weakened the Virginia eleven considerably, since he was the standout player backing up the line.

The Blue Devils' attack was centered around six-foot, five-inch Ron Walters, who handled the pivot post. Big Ron had a little better than thirteen points a game average. Ron was elected most valuable player by his teammates. The Blue Devils, in winning their first five games, looked as though they might be a favor- ite to win district honors until they met Gilbert. The Bucs had too much scoring-punch; besides, they out-played the Stockmen. From then on, the Devils’ record was erratic; they played championship ball at times and inferior ball at other times. Of the nine non-conference games played, the Virginians won five and lost four. District tournament play saw the Blue Devils in action twice. In the first game, a nervous Virginia five met the Embarrass Panthers. It was an exciting though poorly played, low- scoring game, which saw the Blue Devils vic- tors by two points. Virginia was met and de- feated by the Gilbert quint in the second game by a fourteen-point margin. The Devils' con- solation, however, came in the fact that Gilbert went on to win the 1951 State Championship. POGY HOOKS ONE IN FOP TWO ELUSIVE POINTS IN THE CENTRAL CONTEST The Virginia mermen swam through the season with six wins and three losses. Duane Lofquist and the medley relay team were the only point-getters in the State Meet.

With the ringing of the school bell, bats and balls, clubs and rackets were all dusted off in preparation for the G.A.A. sports. A cement-like path was beaten by the athletic feet of girls on their way to the ball park, to start off the season with speedball. Jeans and sloppy sweat- shirts were thrown over their shoulders as they trudged merrily on their way. Man- agers of the ten teams were Geraldine Nelson and Carol Biasing. With the chill of winter approaching, the girls hibernated to the Lincoln gym to continue their athletic activities with basketball. The fourteen court teams were managed by Ruth Osterberg and Nancy Salo. With a resounding thud, the ball flew over the net as volleyball shifted into high gear. This year, as last, and the year before that, both gyms were packed to capacity every Monday and Wednesday night by enthusiasts of the sport. The barking of side out,” rotate, and point” was heard regularly by Man- agers Barbara Pietrini and Marjorie Miller. Play ball echoed through the gym, as the last of the major sports began. Softball, with its numerous good-looking arguments, descended upon the girls of VHS. The sport was managed by Anita Hanson and Joan Anderson. SHUFFIEBOARD EXPERTS—JOAN. MUR- IEI.

Drill Team proved a highlight to every event in which they performed. This year the unit chose Anita Hanson as their leader and Gail Peterson as her alternate. Making their debut at the Dads’ Day event, they march- ed at the Homecoming celebra- tion, and ended the season at the District 27 Basketball Tourna- ment, throughout the year prov- ing their versatility.

THE VMS ROOTER KINGS AND QUEEN With the leaves falling and the skies darken- ing, Janie Rohians rushed down to the Bowling Alley to get the first choice of the right fitting shoes, lightest balls, and their favorite alleys. They were managed by Mary Ann Simonich and Daisy Tuomi. With a splash, the more hardy stock plunged into eight weeks of continual swimming practice. They slipped through the water to the tunes of The Skaters Waltz” and several other concertos. The feline swimmers were led by the capable Barbara Agamenoni. Managed by Sally McKenzie was the popular group of sports: darts, shuffleboard, ping-pong and badminton. Finally, ending the minor sports came the tantalizing art of archery, the sport of posture and perfection.” With strong arms bend- ing the bows, many arrows were shot .... and lost, in a vain attempt to hit the middle of the target. Amid the reverberations of creaks and groans, Miss Frymiller's voice was heard as she put the girls through their paces. Get that stomach off the floor . . . Come up straight on the burpee.” Then came touch football where the touch often got too rough and ended up as a 'tackle’.’’ Instead of passing the ball, the girl, in a frenzy, would tote it into the line. Basketball, with its miles of endless running and jumping, was the highpoint for many girls. Fouls, bruises, and hot tempers often accompanied this torrid game. The runt of the basketball family was slapped back and forth over the net as each team tried to gain the first serve in volleyball. Ending the school year was softball, played on the lot in the Mill Forty. These were the sports that brought the girls the fun and exercise found in each hour of gym. 39 KENT BARKER SHIRLEY SILVOLA JAMES EATON ROONEY HAIUNEN j _____________ w 4 Will 1AM HAIMEKANGAS Heading the various school clubs, classes, staffs, and councils this year were the following Rohians (pictured from top right to bottom left): Wm.

Sunday afternoons found Bob Kozar taking pix With Sharon Lend, layout editor. King Midas Hill was the only one to worry About the money, and how it was spent. Reporters found out what a lead was, And learned what meeting a deadline meant, Though no one ever met one. They wrote and wrote and rewrote copy; Counted the units in hundreds of headlines; Proofread galleys galore. But finally they learned what made a paper. They argued about the yearbook theme— The cover— And the color scheme. They plastered the halls with Rohian posters; Pestered classmates for dollar down-payments. Soon the layouts were finished; Pictures taken; copy written. And they gave YOU the '51 Rohian. NOW. THIS IS WHERE YOU SHOULD PASTE THIS FEATURE SAYS EDITOR ROGERS.

Of course, we can’t forget the trio consisting of Barb Kislia, Catherine Johnson, Gladys Helland, With Nitz Hanson, who swears she accompanied Them on every piano in town.

PEP COUNCIL VIEWS HOMECOMING BANNER GRACING HIGH SCHOOL ENTRANCE. Eveleth was invaded with a carnival spirit on Home- coming Eve as Rohians thronged en masse to the Hilltop City for an impromptu snake dance and caravan. The highlight of the Coronation Assembly was the revealing of the 1950 Homecoming Queen. Barbara Kislia and her three attendants reigned celestially as they led the gala parade of floats, repre- senting various school organizations and clubs, marching units, and cars decked with streamers and 'Leveleth” banners. The evening s events commenced with the mammoth bonfire and pep rally at the prac- tice field prior to the game. Immediately following the grid contest there was a festive ball held at the VFW clubrooms for Rohian and Eveleth students. Here the queen was again honored. Only one ques- tion remains . . . wha hoppened? Virginia 7; Eveleth 26. A WEEK OF SUSPENSE .... THEN ONE REIGNED! 53 Giving meaning to the witty lines of Kaufman and Ferber's Stage Door , directed by Miss Jean Healy, were Jean Rogers, Bill Hotchkiss, Kent Barker, and Shirley Silvola as Terry Randall, Keith Burgess, David Kingsley, and Jean Maitland respectively, assisted by a competent cast of interclassmen. A New York boarding house was the scene of the struggles between Terry Randall and her fellow roomers. Climaxing the first act was a fiery argument between Terry and Jean as Jean deserted Broadway for the glamour of Hollywood, while Terry stuck to Broadway. Keith Burgess, a cynical play- wright with whom Terry fancied herself in love, also succumb- ed to the lure of the cinema. In contrast was David Kingsley, famous movie producer. Terry thought of him merely as a friend until he bought for her the play in which Jean Mait- land was to make her Broadway debut. All ended well with David and Terry in each other's arms and the leading role in Terry's hands. PICTURED ABOVE AND TO THE LEFT. I. TERRY AND JEAN IN A WRATHFUL RAGE. 5.

In the cast of eleven, George Madich portrayed Ambrose Applejohn, a middle-aged henpecked fellow whose life was arranged by a fussy old woman, Mrs. Whitcombe, played by Gladys Hel- land. Poppy Faire, portrayed by Doris Bartoletti, was a younger ward who assisted in dominating Ambrose. Others in the play were Beverlee Ranta as Anna Valeska, an English thief posing as a Russian; Robert Wiermaa as Ivan Borolsky, Anna's husband; Jeannette Johnson and Roger Prue as Mr. and Mrs. Pengard, two crooks who try to get Ambrose's fortune; Jack Gunderson as Dennet, a policeman; Kent Barker and Nancy Lowry as two servants; and Howard Zimmerman as Johnny Jason, Ambrose's friend.

Twirp (The Woman Is Requested to Pay) Season hit Virginia with a bang during the second week of Novem- ber as the girls turned the tables on the boys—asked for dates and took in the bills. The Turnabout Dance— first of its kind on the Range—was the highlight of the week, during which an all-out campaign for the King of Hearts was conducted. Por this gay event the fairer sex called on her date, furnished the transporta- tion, presented him with a corsage, and saw to it that his dance programme was filled for the evening. The climax of this gala festivity was the revealing of the identity of the King, as Nick Nigro, Hae-W’s candidate, burst through the giant silver heart to eliminate Tri-Hi’s Harry Long and Entre Nous’ Tom Morgan.

All eyes were turned toward Jim Eaton and Bob Wiermaa, who proceeded down the aisle and called the queen forward. With a frightened but thrilled ex- pression, Carol was escorted to the stage. Janet Flaim, queen of 1950, stepped down from the throne, after which action Bill Halmekangas crowned Carol the Lettermen’s Queen for 1951. Gifts were presented at the assembly and opened immediately afterwards by an overjoyed queen. Seconds before the exciting Eveleth- Virginia basketball game went into action, the queen's name was announced over the loud-speaker, and the band played as she was escorted into the gym by Duane Lofquist and Jimmy Floyd. The queen was royally treated at an informal ball at the VFW clubrooms and at a party in her honor following the dance.

Happy Bill seems to be making good use of the advice, You've tried the rest, now buy the best, as seen on many of TURK'S BAK- ERY signs, by buying some of the fine quality pastries for which they are noted. It was half-time. The tension was great, for the score was tied. Onto the floor marched the snappy, eye-catching drill team of VHS, to bring out the best in the evening’s drama. Compli- ments from PROPOTNIK'S. When Jack Frost moves in and begins his frolicking, many a mod- ern-day Sonja Henie dons her slacks and ear muffs, an heads for the nearest rink, with her shin- ing, blade skates from the CEN- TRAL SUPPLY COMPANY slung casually over one shoulder. Dick has visions of sizzling ham- burgers and luscious double malts as he waits impatiently for class to end so that he can dash over to TONY'S COFFEE SHOP and satisfy his appetite, along with other hungry Rohians. Ken, like all smart woodsmen, knows that it is important to keep warm and comfortable when he goes into the woods. The clothes sold at the HUB CLOTHIERS are tops in rugged practicality, fine quality, and down-to-earth prices. JEWELRY Sookey Halunen, the fast and flashy forward of the Blue Devil team, would be valuable sports equipment for any squad; and, just like the quality sports mer- chandise one can get at WAY'S, he rates with the best. On your way, stop at Way's. Wonder what Bev is being so con- fidential about? She is probably telling Carol about the nationally advertised dry goods found at MAURICE'S, the store that car- ries all the latest popular lines of suits, shoes, dresses, and other women's apparel. Marcia's fondest dream is to sculpture a beautiful piece of art. One can also find the finest in beautiful creations at MARGUE- RITE'S MILLINERY, where the lat- est and most artistic in hat designs can be found to suit any outfit and any taste. Bill Halmekangas, economical and wise, keeps our energetic, fast- working cagers in good shape by supplying them with half-time oranges bought at PEPELNJAK'S GROCERY, where a customer gets tops in service, quality, and satis- faction. Come now, boys, none of that in the Study Hall. These three hap- py sophomores seem to be en- joying some of the reading mater- ial from the NEWSETTE. The Newsette carries the latest in all the most popular magazines and newspapers, besides confections. Joanne is offering a plate of good cafeteria-style cooking to some lucky individual. For the very best in good food, go to HENLE'S CAFETERIA, where cleanliness abounds. There you will find a wide selection of appetizing dishes. Patterns, pins, and piece goods, carefully picked, planned, and proportioned, give Dorothy pleas- ing results. Whether you are handy with a needle or not, you will see improvement in your handiwork if you use sewing mater- ials from the J. C. PENNEY CO. If your radio is as worn out as Bruce's is, it is time to invest in one of the high-quality, moder- ately-priced radios at ALGUI RE'S ELECTRIC SHOP. Besides their radios, Alguire's also feature a full line of electrical household appli- ances, lamps, and clocks. You don't have to be the fall guy, Norm. If you are riding for a fall because of worn-out shoe soles, come to the WOLF REPAIR SHOP for a re-soling job. And, for the cleanest clothes in town, patronize the Wolf Dry Cleaning Service. Donna and Rose Marie agree that the caramel apple craze that hit Virginia High was the best thing that could nave happened. They know, too, that CANELAKE'S CANDY KITCHEN has the best in town in home-made confections and ice cream. Baby, It's Cold Outside. Jim probably wrote that song after Pudge and George got through with him. But Let It Snow if you are dressed in comfortable clothes from ANDERSON AND CURTISS, the store for men, and women who shop for men. The fit is important, says Frank Bourgin as he measures Bill for one of the nationally famous lines of suits sold at the Friendly Store. BOURGINS combine friendly service and pleasant sur- roundings, to give Virginia one of the most modern men's stores. Making the engine purr like a kitten is the boys' job as they give this car a tune-up. To keep your car purring, replace those worn parts with new, nationally- known parts from the RANGE AUTO PARTS COMPANY, where there is everything for your car. Come on, Bob and Bill; if you have so much energy, why not work if off with some of the fine sporting equipment, including basketballs, boxing gloves, skiis, skates, and fishing paraphernalia for sale at the COAST-TO- COAST store? Eating at PEPELNJAK'S BAKERY is a favorite pastime of Snookey and Bob. Many smart people know that Pep's is the place for afternoon coffee and a light snack. Pep's sell a tasty line of pastry that is fit for a king. Newsy is the word for the suits and dresses in Sapero's, where quality is a tradition and where tomorrow's fashions are sold to- day. Infinitely skilled detail has also made the name of Colura famous in lingerie carried by SAPERO'S STYLE SHOP. Here is a group of Rohians from the Entre Nous pep assembly. Renee could be singing about the superb, guaranteed furniture upholstery jobs and the made-to- order cushions which have brought repute and satisfaction to C. W. STAHL and SONS of Virginia. If you are looking for firm muscles and a fighter's brawn, this will not produce the results, but Marilyn seems to be enjoying herself anyway. Good luck, sen- iors, from PEDERSON'S STUDIO. May the best of health and hap- piness be yours always! You would be as good as gold, too, if your mother brought home some of Johnson's tasty pastry, say Jack, Bill, and George as they try to strike an angelic pose. At JOHNSON'S STAR BAKERY one can find the very best in all baked goods. The lights went out; squeals rang through the blacked-out hippo- drome. The enthusiastic Virginia cheering section started the fans in the spirit of song . . . The WHITE CROSS PHARMACY extends the heartiest best wishes to all these Rohian fans. It took ambitious planning and plenty of energetic work to turn out an affair as successful and enjoyable as the Christmas Tea given by the home economics classes. To put on a nice party, serve beverages from the QUEEN CITY BOTTLING COMPANY. Window-shopping is fun, but real enjoyment lies ahead of one as she steps into Johnny's newly- remodeled fashion headquarters. JOHNNY'S APPAREL SHOPPE now handles more of the same high quality clothes for which it is so widely known. Neat skirts, smart blouses, bright scarfs, and that all-important best dress, all go into the making of a feminine teen-age wardrobe; and Jean, like all other Queen City coeds, knows that it is STEVENSON’S for the latest in fashions. Ho hum! Back to school for two more periods. The time wouldn't be so tedious if our present hard- wood desks were to be replaced by some soft, loungy, and smart- looking chairs from FORSMAN'S, the home of fine furniture in Vir- ginia and Eveleth. King Neptune and Davy Jones Prue, although at home in water, are about to get dressed in some land-going clothes from the PALACE. The clothiers feature a line of snappy suits, sports clothes, shoes, and coats that is hard to equal anywhere. Congratulations to the graduating class of 1951 from the VIRGINIA BOWLING GARDENS. Con- gratulations. too, to the high-scoring bowling team of the year, the Feeble Five, including Mary Elora Hill, Gail Peterson, Anita Hanson, Nancy Lowry, and Barbara Agamenoni. Her Royal Highness, Barbara, accompanied by her attendants and Jim Eaton, is chauffeured by John- ny Malmstrom as she surveys her conquest. For that ice cream sundae, fit for any royalty, after the Homecoming Parade or at any time, for that matter, go to THE TRAIL, formerly Costello's. These two Bobs are feeling mighty low as they leave the floor after the Gilbert-Virginia District 27 contest, which was broadcast over the local radio station by Virginia's two fine KETOLA stores, member stores in the Greater Virginia Trade Division. Have a Coke. Bob, Kent, and John think that's a swell idea as they relax after some grueling (?) studying. When one feels thirsty, take the pause that refreshes', on sale either in bottles or at fountain services everywhere. Congratulations to the Class of 1951 and best wishes for your future success.

We, the hall-wreckers of senior high, extend our sympathy and thanks to these friendly fellows who keep our brain factory in order. They are a big part of school life, just as the MACO NEWS rates high with the Rohian gang. Matt is the envy of many a Ro- hian because of his pea-green hot-rod , even though it lacks a muffler. To keep that car of yours a-rollin', get the best in gas and oil by driving into BAILEY'S TOWN PUMP any hour of the day and night. With senior high comes the prom- ise of a round of social events, such as the teas in the social room. Filing in are some of the well- dressed socialites, many bedecked in their Sunday-best, bought at the MINNESOTA STORE in Vir- ginia. These clothes - wise basketeers shop for their trim shorts and shirts at LAULEY'S STORE for women. Purchasers don't stop at gym-wear, however, for Lauleys carry many lines of nationally ad- vertised dresses, suits, skirts, blouses, and other articles of fem- inine apparel. These promising students in the woodwork shops might well be headed for a good job with the LENCI, LENCI, AND ENGLUND CONTRAC- TORS, INC.

IVER JOHNSON COMPANY, helping to build up the Queen City. Delores and Grant show that a great deal of thought goes into a little solution. At the VIRGINIA PHARMACY, one can depend on getting accurately filled prescrip- tions. The Pharmacy also carries a complete line of Rexall health needs, household gifts, and photo- graphy supplies. r - A 'Jf K Marge, like many others, has reached one of the high- lights of her senior year—the selection of her graduation watch. She knows that a person cannot go wrong when she buys her watch and any other jewelry at McCABE’S, headquarters for gifts. 'Druq. WALGREEN AGENCY DRUG STORE 432 CHESTNUT STREET VIRGINIA MINNESOTA Roses are red; violets are blue. Sally gets roses from her steady, Bud Prue. To express your feelings to Her or to Mom, nothing can take the place of a nice bouquet of her favorite posies. For the freshest in cut flowers, head for the VIRGINIA FLORAL SHOP. The FLOOD MOTOR COMPANY, your General Motors dealer, backs the reserve basketball team (and fans) for 1950-51. Included are: First row—Roy. Karakas, Sims, Stromberg, Madich.

Happy hostesses, too, in their own right will be the Virginia women whose homes have been tastily furnished with the comfortable chairs and davenport sets, tables and lounges purchased at the F. S. KELLY FURNITURE COMPANY store in Virginia. When Prom time comes rolling along once again, we find the Ro-Hi gals looking for a speciar’ formal, something billowy and gay and very, very lovely. That all-important creation can be found at the Qualiteen section of the QUALITY SHOPPE. Publication trouble? Then contact the W. A. FISHER COMPANY PRINTERS, masters in the art of yearbook building. Their offset-lithographic equipment permits a widespread use of candids, to thread the story of school life from cover to cover, and it makes full use of the styles and format, visuals and copy ideas of school staffs. Jean and Shirley are looking at some of the pieces of fine glassware that can be found at TUREN-WELSH JEWELRY SHOP. Among the many objects of beauty available in this modern shop are silverware, china, watches, and the finest in all types of jewelry. This fine action shot by the THOMAS-LEONARD STUDIO portrays Wiermaa, Walters, Eaton, and an un- identified Embarrass player fighting hard for the ball during one of the tense moments of district tourney play. Thomas-Leonard photographers also are experts at taking beautiful portrait pictures. One can't blame Frank for his broad grin of approval as he looks over the 1951 De Soto at the VIRGINIA OIL COMPANY. The De Soto has many modern fea- tures, including Fluid Drive, Bull's-eye headlights, chair- high seats, and ignition key starting.

For the best in quality developing and print- ing, take that roll of film to LARSON'S STUDIO on Fifth Avenue in Virginia. John and Marty are thinking of bicycling and of other outdoor activities. If a person needs outdoor equipment, go to SEARS. Sears can supply one's hunting, fishing, and camping needs. Sears also sells yard-goods, plumbing and electrical appliances, and general household necessities. This gay group seems to be confident of winning as they fill the chartered bus with pre-game pep on the way to out-of-town contests. The OLIVER IRON MINING COMPANY, subsidiary of the U. S. Steel Corporation, through the courtesy of Mr. W. J. Kaiser, general superintendent, wishes for them the best of success in the future. In the Good Old Sum- mer Time. That must be the thought which Ron and George have as they look over these Martin motors at GRANDE'S HARDWARE STORE. Grandes also carry a complete stock of sports- men's equipment, power tools, durable hand tools, and household hardware. 78 VERNON MALONE Born—July 4, 1890 Died—March 22, 1951 We dedicate this page to Mr. Vernon Malone, head of the Instrumental Music Department of the Virginia Schools from 1918 to 1948. During his thirty years in the Virginia school system, Mr. Malone placed the municipal as well as the school music on a level achieved perhaps nowhere else in the United States—which means the world. In recognition of this fact, he was the first person to be honored in the Virginia Hall of Fame selec- tions. Respected and beloved, he will be long remembered, not only by his students, but by the people of this city as well. His contribution was truly a most notable one educationally.
