It is the result of the editors' headaches and the faculty advisor's bad dreams. Paper, glue, typewriter ribbon, snapshots and tireless fingers - all went into its preparation. THE OWL is now completed. May it always stand as a monument to the Senior Class of 1946. May they, in years to come, when glancing through its pages, recall the four years of work and the four years of pleasure through which they traveled together. ge Se eS First Row, IL. to Re: Miss Frances Cardwell, Miss Ruby Adams, Mrs. Blanche Garbee, Miss Lucille Tweedy, Mrs. Nell Fray, and Mrs. Virginia Elder.

I can hardly wait for us to discuss once more those eraser battling, bag-popping days. Don't you remember that first day when we dashed headlong up the stairs and fought for the seats in the back of the Freshman rocm? It tock the combined effort of Miss Turner and Mr. Gardner to calm’ us and finally we got down to the business of doing as much mis chief as possible. Whiz! Zoom! Crash! Bang! When I close my eyes I can still see alze- bra books flying over-nead. And the day Jim tied a piece of paper to a string and dropped it out of the window! I bet Mrs. Garbee was surprised when it hit her on the nose. Garee Garia!! My fingers still ache from copying the Constitution, We really flew through that year, skipped gaily over the summer and then came our sec- ond year with its romances and fights. Buttons and Barbara and lMiiss Overstreet and all of boys composed the list of love-lorn, Over the summer our class shrunk in number, but we added Mary Lee Elsie Taylor and Marie Bingham to our honorable ranks and they were really additions! The whole year was a whirl wind of activity. How ever we did mamage to cram q little knowledge in before Fi- nal Exams. I sat on so many tacks that I couldn't sit still long enough to really learn much, Who cares anyhow? The following summer we all dreamed of the Junior year that was to come. Words fail me in describing it. I rear we had so much fun at Edith's barndances! And I frink that Junior -Senior Banquet was the best ever, But as to the dance that followed it : Oh well, it was wonderful. The Glee Club and My Dreams Are Getting Better All the Time were in full swing, espe- cially the latter. My ears still ring with the words of There's a New Moon Over My Shoul- der ! This was an important year and it wasn't long before it past and we became big Dogs. Golly-gee, Beulah, I wish I could live every minute over again! Alice Baker joined our class making a grand, total of seventeen and we had so much fun together, especially giving the Senior Play. A Ready Made Family was its title and, oh those nizht practices : We were still the mischievous type and always will be I imagine. Don't you remember the day we had our pictures taken for the annual? I can still smell those steaks and french fries and wasn't it funny when we all met at the bowling alley? But the fondest of all my fond memories was graduation night with its white dresses and diplomas. Our tears really flowed like wine as we walked down the aisle. Well, Beulah, this letter only covers small parts of the good times we've had but as it makes me sad to think of them I'd better close. See ya' at the class reunion, I Tt OAS WL = We, the Senior Class of 1946, of Rustburg High School, being of sound mind, do hereby make this our last will and testament and declare all others heretofore null and void, I. General: To the Junior Class we leave our Senior room, in hopes that they will follow our example and always keep it clean and tidy. We also leave our History IV notebooks so that they can take time from copying from the boards to study then, To the entire school we leave our school spirit and attitude and our efforts to uphold the standards of our dear Alma Mater, Lie : To Miss Cardwell we leave a memo book so that she will be sure to get all of the groceries for the Home Ec, Department. To Mrs. Drinkard we leave a full-time secretary to assist her in the selling of stamps and bonds, and all of the correspondence she has to do in an effort to get an annual printed. To Miss Evans we leave a 90 minute history period so that she will have an ample amount of time to go over the day's assignment and make sufficient assignments for us to do. To Mr, Jones we leave a job for next year as a math, teacher, so that there will be some more math. genii at R. H. S. as there have always been, To Mr, Gardner, our beloved principal, we leave the front radiator in the Senior room in hopes that other seniors may enjoy his presence there as we have, Ill. witctal Fequests: Harold Coates leaves his ability to make cute remarks to Donald Fitch, Barbara Clay leaves her popularity to Dixie Denton, Tom Phillips wills his athletic ability to Fred Anstey. Edith Lindsay leaves her ability to translate Latin to Bob Stevens, Edward Whately wills his ability to get out of at least one class a day to Thom- as Tanner, Nancy Wright leaves her sweet disposition to Kathleen Coleman, Julia Frazier leaves her job as moon recess shopper to Gene Tweedy. Hazel Duff leaves some of her temper to Nancy Wade, in hopes that she will use it only when necessary. Cecil Reynolds leaves his title of Preacher to Charlie Mitchell, Alice Tanner bequeaths her ability to have her lessons always prepared to John Hodges. Jim Stone bequeaths his ability to dance to Gordon Wright. Billy Davidson leaves his secret of growing tall to Aubrey A. Carson. Mary Lee Taylor leaves her hair style to Virginia Puckette, Jesse Cowart leaves his secret of being teacher's pet to Pete Monroe. Lucy Jomes bequeaths her ability to look just right for the occasion to Arlene Daniel. Gerald Cheatham wills his mathematical ability to Preston Talley. Alice Baker wills her quietness to anyone in high school who needs it: We hereby appoint Thomas Tanner of the class of '47 as executor of this last will and testament with full power and authority, having perfect confidence in his judgment, ee teeeeeeeeeeee From dear R. H. S S. we soon shall go; Good times and friends we shall miss, I know, We'll be what our teachers want us to be, And see as our parents want us to see, On land, om sea - whether near or far, We will hitch our wagons to a star; And a life of service gladly give To make the world better, because we live. -- By Alice Baker QOKING AND THE WWRE Rummaging around in our attic one rainy Saturday afternoon, I came across a dust-covered crystal ball. I recognized it as one that my grandfather had picked up from an old fak- ir in India many years ago. I wiped the dust away and polished it until the crystal was sparkling. Then I sat gazing into its crystal depths. How long I sat gazing Ido not know, but suddenly within the ball there appeared to my amazed eyes a book - a book whose pages slowly started to turn, I watched, fascinated. As I watched, I realized that I was seeing into the future for this is what the pages told me: Barbara Clay has whizzed through her commercial course and holds a position as secretary in the Rustburg Auto Garage. Alice Tanner, capable and efficient as ever, is now head nurse in the Lynchburg Hospital thus realizing her school-girl ambition to help humanity in every way possible. Julia Frazier, after perfecting her version of going to Cuba , is now working for M, G. M. and will soon be seen in the forthcoming picture She'll be Coming ‘Round the Moun- tain , Mary Lee Taylor, now a tall sophisticate, is top buyer for Charles’, while she designs exciting new creations for Vogue in her spare time, Alice Baker startled us all by eloping with a dashing young doctor during her junior year at college, Lucy Jones, after an exciting trip abroad, has arrived home and taken up the difficult job of teaching mathematics to the fresnmen of Rustburg High School. Nancy Wright, walking of with top honors at her graduation from secretarial school, now ‘hands out advice to the love-lorn in her column, Life Can Be Beautiful . Edith Lindsay, after majoring in foreign languages at college, is now an airline hostess on a Trans-Atlantic Clipper, Hazel Duff has now added another ring to her collection and is heard humming Mendelssohn's Wedding March constantly. as) Tom Phillips, after studying contentedly in History IV class, has become one of the out- standing leaders in the civic affairs of Rustburg,. Harold Coates, realizing his secret ambition, has become one of the most prominent lec- turers of the day. Jesse Cowart has climbed far and high on the ladder of success. His pounding voice can be heard every Saturday night over W. S. M., Nashville, Tennessee, Jim Stone has become principal of one of the largest schools in Campbell County and also gives vocal lessons to all who may be interested. Billy Davidson, always interested in riding and roping, was fascinated by the ranch life of South America which he studied in World Geography class. He is now a dashing gaucho on his own ranch in Argentina, Ed Whately has become a renowned barber of Gravel Ridge, and customers clamor for his at- tention, His little wife keeps his books and his two sons are good at keeping him sup- plied with hot towels and sharp razors when business gets very brisk. Cecil Reynolds, famous the country over for his interpretation of negro spirituals, comes back home every May to deliver an inspiring sermon to the graduating class of Rustburg High School. Gerald Cheatham, another Luther Burbank, has just received an honorary degree from the Virginia Polytechnic Institute for his experimental work with hybrid corn, --By Hazel Duff A BREEZE Over the marsh comes a little breeze, Flirting with cattails and laughing in trees, It whispers through the grass and reeds, Sighs among lilies, romps in weeds. Ruffles the blossoms on the rose bush; Tears off the petals in a playful push, Chases a leaf across the ground, Stops a minute and looks around, Sees a bock on a garden chair, Turns a few pazes and leaves it there. Races down a sunny steep, Sits down to rest and goes to sleep! “Sqn ts --Mary Lee Taylor tte Pretty as a picture Cute as a mle Busy as a bee Smart as a whip Dumb as a dodo Wise as an owl Slender as a reed Innocent as a lamb Sly as a fox Spry as a cricket Pair as a lily Good as gold Silly as a goose Plain as an old shoe Paithful as a dog Crazy as a loon Ugly as a mud fence Honest as Abe Sharp as a tack Lucy Julia Gerald Cecil Jim Cecil Nancy Alice B.

Do you feel saggy, drazgy, and run-down? Hmmmm? Then there is only one remedy to put new life into you, to put that sparkel back into your eyes. A training course in Freshman Study Hall. This course improves you greatly or leaves you a hobbling wreck, in shape to pay a long visit to one of those --er- country rest havens. In study hall one is very busy on one's lessons while one's teacher is looking at one, But when he isn't, take a little rest period. Why Drive Yourself? You're no Slave!}! Keeping a cautious eye on the docr, begin what is rest period to the regulars, but some- thing quite different to a beginner. First, remember all healthy people need plenty of fresh air and exercise. So, proceed to hang from the window, vigorously practicing the Tarzan Yell or some popular song. (In- variably this brings humorous results from the teachers downstairs, ) Next comes some exercise. Say, let's plan a pleasant surprise for one of your classmates - preferably a mortal enemy, because if he isn't one already, he will be after the surprise. Pick up an eraser and lay if gently on the head of your neizhbor, who is halfway across the room, He yelled? Well, don't get excited, That isn't unusual, To show your gentility and good-breeding, zo over und apologize, while affectionately patting your offended neigh- bor on the back with a dust-laden eraser, Your neizhbor, as a rule, doesn't see the well-meaning of your actions, He gives vent to his feelings with a well placed right!! Well-1-1? It was exercise ycu wanted, wasn't it? The teacher will usually return at this point, catching one of you thoroughly mopping up the floor with the other. He, or she, tells you to go to some foreizn sounding place known as “the office , Knowing not this place and unwilling to expose your inexcusable ignorance, you step into the serene and quiet library for a period of convalescence, This, my friends, is First Year Study Hall, where the teacher's motto is: A quiet study hall - My kingdom for a quiet study hall. --Curtis Uillner SEVENTH GRADE SIXTH GRADE TEACHER: MISS EWART TEACHER: MRS.

Mr. Gardner and his F. F. A. boys helped with the set, and Miss Mosley asststed with the make-up. Dim the lights! Everyone ready? Curtain!! It seemed just a few minutes before our play was over and the curtain was drawn for the last time. All of us breathed sighs of relief and then all of us (except the director) began moaning, for we were going to miss those night pr@ctices. Though we had to rk, there was plenty of fun mixed withnit to help us along until the play was finally a success. Horatio's picture was the center of the plot, and we, the cast, had all we could do to keep from laughing every time he was mentioned. It was work. It was play. And we enjoyed every minute of it thoroughly. AUDIO-VISUAL PROGRAM Audio-visual instruction finally has been accorded practically universal recognition as a remarkably effective medium of instruction. This method of instruction has grown in the past few years and was used extensively by the armed forces. In this post-war period it should prove an integral part of the education process. The state of Virginia has appropriated $10,842 for Campbell County schools to be used in the purchase of equipment and materials for audio-visual instruction. Already, there has been received in the county: 14 Eastman silent projectors, 15 sound motion picture projectors, 14 still projectors, and 22 screens. The films ordered for the various coun- ty are valued at $2,569.11; the balance of the funds has been spent for film script. Already, some of the teachers have taken courses in the operation of the audio-visval projectors. Namely, Miss Mosley, Miss Kelly, Mr. Gardner, Miss Parker, and Mrs. Fray. The plan is to set up a film library, supervised by Miss Mildred Kelly, from which place the films will be distributed to the various schools in the county, as needed. The audio-visual material is to be used primarily for instruction and not for entertainment. One of the most desirable goals is that all the teachers will learn to operate the machines efficiently. Then the films can be shown as audio-visual aids to accompany thet textbooks. Another of the aims is that under the guidance and direction of the supervis- ors, appropriate films will be used at the proper time with any subject for which films are avallable. Unless the teachers and supervisors are familiar wth films, available fa teaching aids, the program will not be successful. It is emphasized that the audio-visual program is set up to insure better instructim and every effort will be made to prepare for successful use of these aids.

After the hair was re- moved, everyone leaned ongte down to see what next. The skull was deathly white and was covered with dents and bumps. Taking up a knife, I attempted to cut an opening at the top,but,to my surprise,the blade bent double and then snapped! To my astonishment the he Finally one of my friends picked up a sledge hammer and pounded an opening on one side. We leaned over eagerly and scovered that inside were numerous little chambers; some em- pty, and others filled with various things. The largest section drew our attention first. It was clotted with plus and minus sighs, diagrams of machines, dates of historical in- terest, Latin verbs, and a few grammar rulés. Scattered here and there were rifles, dase- ball bats, fishing hooks, and comic books. _ Having come to the end of such interesting articles, we looked at the other comparte ments. The first group contained entirely nothing! In the second was a collection of queer looking objects! The first appeared to be a many-legged insect, dressed in startling clothes. of vivid colors. Upon closer observance I realized it was a jitterbug! Then came a sectfon devoted entirely to undecipherable slang, double-talk, and nick-names. Off in one dark cor ner I discovered a chamber which fascinated me more than all the rest. In the center, framed by a green-eyed monster, was the face of a girl. After a closer inspection I disco ered that she was on a high pedestal but was guarded by a fierce dragon. Her long blond hair glittered throiigh the darlmess, and one could easily see ey was older than the ad boy. On exploring the) chamber more thoroughly, I found a tiny, battered nerve running to the heart. Poor ,I thought, crushes are terrible things. 2 at the top of the . Pinally our interest turned from this section to a group of s they appeared to be empty, but upon closer inspection we discovered that hy drogen, @ yant and inflammable gas, filled these sections. This explained why the head was so light. After mich discussion we decided to perform an «4 riment with this gas. Taking a glass full we set it on fire. There was a loud explosion, the gas went up in flames. However, the fire burned itself out quickly and notfiing remained. head. At Having explored all of the section of this boy's cranium, we decided to see what would happen if the chains were removed. As soom as the last ehain was lifted, the head rose slowly upward, accompanied by the sound of juke-box-msie and laughter. Suddenly it gained _more speed and rose until it floated dreamily above the clouds. ey a RUSTBURG em GLEANED FROM THE MID TERM EXAMINATION PAPERS: se ne eanenerereeneenee Prenty - something on the hem of a girl's dress.
