We have a memory all our own—but one that we will share, It's sentimental, but it is fun and frolic, too, However we give it only a smile and a sigh and onward we go, To the Staffs that will follow our trail we leave the priv- ilege of picturing by word and by camera, and the telling of a progress that will show our Alma Mater to have a higher standard, a finer dignity, and a greater influence, choo Rp ‘faculty Front Row, L. to R, = Mrs, Walter Blankinship, Miss Jean Perrow, Mrs, Clara Drinkard, Mr, J, R, Gardner, Principal, Mrs. Lucille Winebarger, Mrs, J, J.

GEASS = WSIORY 6 In the fall of '43°a hive of twenty-eight bees swarmed into the Freshman room at Rustburg High School and settled around our new queen, Miss Raye Francis. We elected as our chkass officers—Bobby Stevens for President; Henry Patrick as Vice-President; Nancy Wade as Secretary; and Billy Blankinship as Treasurer. This year was long remenr bered as we buzzed our way along. Although, to our sorrow, we lost quite a few of our bees. They were Mary Ashwell and Cecil Puckett. However, we had one addition to our Hive— Virginia Mae Taylor— making a total of 25 to swarm into the Sophomore room in tls fall of '44. We had a new queen this year, Mrs. Frances Schadler, and new officers—Henry Patrick as President; Thomas Tanner as Vice-President; Fred Anstey as Treasurer. Jesse Cowart was not only an addition to our class but Reporter too. John Winebarger and Benjamin Simmons joined us this year too. To our sorrow we lost Frances Azmon, Frances Lawrence, Ethel Misner, Marie Caldwell who got married, and Warren Monroe. By this time we were beginning to think we were big shots at Rustburg and with the freshness of spring in our hearts turned to love. Our class sweethearts were Henry Patrick and Frances Azmon. In September, '45 we swarmed for the Srd.time at Rustburg High School, settling in the Juriior room. We had only 19 bees left in our hive, but we kept right on buzzing with a new queen, Miss Edith Evans. We had officers again— President,Thomas Tanner; ‘ Vice-President, Burnell Monroe; Secretary, Bettie Lindsay; Treasurer, Fred Anstey; and Reporter, Rose Tweedy. A’new bee Harris Irby, joined our hive this year. Our class color this year and previous years was blue; class flower, Dogwood; and our motto was— Always ready to meet the cause . And did we think we were it, ask me? Because you see, we were beginning to be {Included in the activities of the Seniors. We gave them a big weiner roast and dance for entertaniment. We held the daisy chain and sang Marcheta to them in the Commencement exercises. This suited us just fine because we would be Seniors next year. During our summer vacation Edwin Goff left us to join the United States Army, but we are hoping that he and Charlie Wisecarver will be with us to receive their diplomas in May. In the fall of '46,—23 of us swarmed into the Senior room for the fourth and last time—with Mrs. Clara Drinkard as our new queen bee; Thomas Tanner as President; Fred Anstey as Vice-President; Nancy Wade as Secretary; Henry Patrick as Treasurer; and three Veterans— Robert Evans, Roy Winebarger, and Lynwood’ Dodson as our class reporters. We mark November as one of our most eventful months during our Senior year. Not only did we present our Senior play, Small Town Romeo , which was a great success, during the month but we also learned of the secret marriage of one of our classmates, Bob Stevens. To our delight he remained with us to be graduated in May. We are saddened by the thought of leaving our hive and going our separate ways, but after considering what the future has in storefor us, we lift our wings with high hopes and buzz along our way. SWAN SONG FOR A SENIOR Once upon a May night cheery, A sad and lonesome, forlorn feeling, While I sat with both eyes bleary One that set my brain cells reeling. (from burning mid-night oil for THIS IS MY LAST NIGHT AT DEAR OLD those exams, ALMA MATER! Suddenly there came a -----? I feel faint, Water! Water! tapping? snapping? rapping? flapping? (or I'd settle for an ice-cold coke (what is the word I want? right now. How about you?) They're not it - but I wont quit. Listen, I tell myself more sanely. I'll start all over.) Why think in circles so inanely? Suddenly there came a feeling What do you hope -=- you dope? Slowly through my whole frame stealing. (Concluded on Senior Play Page.)

I was looking through an old movie magazine and whose face should I see but that of an old class-mate Virginia Mae Taylor. She was quite a famous movie actress and was starring in M.G.M.'s Iatest movie of the day. After seeing her picture J wondered about the rest of my Senior Classmates. Doing a little inquiring and detective work of my own, I found out quite a few unbelievable things about my classmates. Thomas Tanner in now dean of men at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute. Lynwood Dodson is a'famous radio announcer and we often listen to him annonnce our avorite programs. Theolise Maxey is teaching school at Gladys, Virginia where she does a two-woman job of teaching and caring for her husband and home. The latest news of Rose Tweedy is that she is staying at home reading a book entitled The Way To a Man's Heart”. Kathleen Coleman has opened up a private nusery with toys of all kinds; trucks, wagons, dolls, and rattlers for the children of Concord. Nancy Wade has joined her husband in Italy and is teaching the English language to her sma children. Raymond Reynolds fs the most famous detective of the day. He just cleared up : e murder of a wealthy New York woman. Billy Patrick after modeling cars and trucks all through high school is now a success and ic motieling for Mr. Ford. Blanche Driskill 1s keeping house for her husband, who was just discharged from the Navy, and their four children. Pete Monroe, J. W. Yates, and Ed Moore are now professional gamblers and are in part- nership together. They own a race track in Chicago.

Adelle Manuel is touring South America to secure information for the great cosmetic firm in New York for which she works. Cathrine Fariss is now a nurse in the Memorial Hosiptal in Lynchburg, Virginia. Aubrey Carson is in the United States Army and holds the rank of Lieutenant. The most surprising thing I found out in my inquiring’is the fact that Fred Anstey is now mayor of Yellow Branch, Virginia. Boy! that town mst have really grown since our High school days. Bettie Lindsay is famous the world over as a night club singer. Henry Patrick has his own little Funeral Home and private ambulance service. Bobby Stevens has quietly adopted the role of papa and now works at the Cotton Mill to support his little family. Harris Irby is now doing construction work and is very successful. a Blankinship is still working at the Rustburg soda fountain and is specializing: n xing chocolate nut sundaes. John Winebarger drives a laundry truck in Detroit and is a very busy mane Robert Evans pjays Santa Claus at Christmas time for all the little children ang the other eleven months. works for the F. B.

If this brings ‘no response, get out and yell to the top of your voice. If you find it necessary to go inside the house, slam the door, stomp in and flop on the davenport and prop your feet on the cof- fee table. Girls should never apply make-up until they are in a resturant or on the dance floor. If you go to a movie, pop your gum so that everyone around you will move. If you can't see, stand up in the seat or pound on the person's head in front of you so he will move. When your girl stops to cemb her hair after the show, run and hide from her. If she finds you, start running and have a little game of hide and seek. After you have eaten, tell your date you have no money with which to pay the bill. The boy should remember to leave his girl out on a street corner and make her walk homee Then her parents cannot blame you for bringing her home late.

A kiss is a verb, because it's either active or passive. It is an adverb, because it modifies the art. A kissis an interjection, because it shows strong and sudden feeling; It is a conjunction, because it -connects.
