Yet it is a pleasure to pause in reminiscence of a period through which we have passed and mention some of the things, material and spiritual, that we have achieved through the spirit of co- operation between the members of the class and faculty. As we look back over the years, we find that many clubs and athletic teams owe much of their success to the members of the class. This year the National Honorary Beta Club was organized with twenty-four mem- bers of which fourteen were seniors. Twelve of these members attended the State Convention of this club in Roanoke the first of April. The Scrib- bler’s Club was instrumental iji editing the monthly school paper, “The Tatler.’’ During the first semester the English IV class motored to Hend- erson and saw “Macbeth” given by the Avon players. The South Hill Boys’ Basketball Team won the Gold Medal Tournament which was held in March. The majority of the members on the first team were seniors. When we entered high school the class was composed of forty-three members with Miss Abernathy as sponsor. When we became Seniors we had as our sponsor Mrs. Gilberta Hubbard. Although faced with the task of getting a class of fifty-two ready for graduation, she became one of us and found a place in our hearts. I have mentioned before that the class has been noted for its school spirit, I should like to tell of the individual members now. Meredith Freeman, our class president, has been out- standing in various school activities. Some of the class who are excellent athletes are: Bobby Tucker, Ben James MontgomerjL Buster Tucker, Boots Paulette, Lewis Roberts, J. P. Holmes, Estelle Paulette, and Gladys Wil- mouth. Among our outstanding actresses are: Sarah Hudson, Ida Marie Harris, and Julia Watson. The quietly efficient and public spirited are: Marie Thompson, Nancy Willard, Elizabeth S. Thompson, T. G. Parham and Bill Farrar were always ready to help. The quiet reserved ones are : Edna Brooks, Lucy Matthews, Ruth Jolly, Virginia Smith, Nora Fowlkes, Gwendolyn Thompson, Amy Lee Wright, Louise Parham, Edward Simmons, Billy Ryland, Alva Nolan, Roy Trimm, Robert Sanford, and Ira Smiley did much to promote school spirit. Most friendly ones in this group are: Edith Crutchfield, Virginia Temple, Annie Walker, and Lillian Reekes. There are those who raised the spirits of our class with their wit and good humor — Virginia Bancroft, Putt Lumpkin, Willie Copley, Howard Northington and Bobby Armistead. The musical talents — Edith Warren and Bill Taylor have added much to our class. The sunny disposition of Alese Matthews and the gay debonaire, Chesterfieldan air of Yancey Pleasants have given variety to our group. Much of the class history, made up of the little every-day services and comradeship, cannot be written in such an account. Instead we shall carry the memory of these services in our hearts. We hope they will long be remembered by our other schoolmates.

A few showed slight infection and x-ray pictures of their chest were made to determine the extent of the disease. We were very fortunate in not having any students with this disease. FOOTBALL BANQUET The football squad of South Hill had a most enjoyable banquet on Wednesday night, December 22, 1937. After a delicious meal was served, remarks were made by the former Captain Bobby Tucker. He called on Coach Chaffey and Mrs. F. L. Nanny to say a few words to the team. Flint Nichols was elected captain of the team for the following year. After all the discussion was over the squad and their dates went to Cedar Tavern to dance. THE CIRCUS In January, the Parents Teachers Association presented “The Cir- cus”, a farce comedy in two acts. The characters were selected from both the town and the school. Out of season events are always a luxury and this was enjoyed by all. NEW BOOKS ORDERED The pupils in the high school were very much excited in December over the arrival of new books. This order was made possible by Tag Day held during National Book Week. A number are light reading. The teachers in the grammar school have made arrangements for an order soon. PRESERVATION OF WILD LIFE In March we observed Preservation of Wild Life Week. Several meetings were held to discuss the importance and stamps were sold by the students. One of the most important meetings was held on Friday night, March 26, 1938, in the auditorium. Mr. Paul S. Blandford, Super- intendent of Virginia Industrial School, gave an impressive talk on the importance of conserving Wild Life. SENIOR PLAY On April 8, 1938, the Seniors presented their play “Spooky Tavern”, in the presence of a large audience. The play was very entertaining and as well as “spooky.” It was directed by Mrs. Hubbard and Mrs. Gilliam. The cast included : Lon Hacker Ghost Women Lucy Hacker Joyce Wingate .... Florabel Wingate Bedelia Ralph Channing . Terry Tanner Willie Worgle Blackie Sims Farotie .. Edward Simmons Nancy Willard Sarah Hudson Julia Watson . Ida Marie Harris Lillian Reekes Bobby Tucker Meredith Freeman Roy Trimm J. P. Holmes “Bill” Taylor Twenty FOOT PRINTS 1938 South Hill High School JUNIOR POLICE FORCE A Junior Police Eorce was organized in the South Hill High Schoo l. The officers are: Burney McTyre Captain Ben Matthews Lieutenant Jack Harvey Secretary-Treasurer There are about 50 members, both boys and girls. They certainly do deserve a lot of credit and have been a lot of help to the school. The girls keep order in school and report anyone who breaks the rules. The boys direct traffic at the school. They see that the children get across the streets safely and avoid accidents. This force has been highly praised on its work, and is under the supervision of Chief of Police C. L. Temple. POOR MARRIED MAN A play entitled “A Poor Married Man” was presented on Friday, October 8, in the high school. The cast of characters : Professor lUise . Dr. Graham Billy Blake Jupiter Jackson . Mrs. Iona Ford Zoie June Graham .... Rosa land Wilson Walter J. Payne Bill Farrar .. Copley McLean Willie Copley Julia Watson Ida Marie Harris .... Sarah Hudson .... Edith Warren F. F. A. CONVENTION Willie Copley was the delegate sent by the F. F. A. to attend the Nat- ional F. F. A. Convention and judging contest held in Kansas City, Mo. He met the other Virginia delegates at Christiansburg, where they took a special train operated for the exclusive use of the Future Farmer’s Party. The party stopped over in St. Louis on the way home for sight- seeing. When he returned he gave a delightful report of the places of interest they visited. GIOVANNI SPERANDEO In December, Giovanni Sperandeo, Italian lyric tenor, accompanied by his wife, Elsie, entertained the students in the auditorium. In addition to the musical part of the program. Signor Sperandeo related briefly the story of his life — his arrival in this country, overcoming of hardships caused by an accident in which he lost an arm and both hands, an achieve- ment of obtaining degrees from Washington University in St. Louis and from the University of North Carolina. He sings in six different languages and has studied under seven outstanding vocalists. He has been in the concert field for the past 18 years. This program was very interesting and was enjoyed by all. SENIOR RINGS ARRIVE Much excitement was created among the Seniors due to the arrival of their rings in December. All of the forty-four Seniors who ordered rings seemed very well pleased and there have been no remarks of dis- satisfaction made. They are really very pretty and the Seniors have been highly complimented on their selection. I. Txcenty-One FOOT PRINTS 1938 South Hill High School SENIOR CLASS ELECT OFEICERS The first meeting of the Senior class was called the first of October for the purpose of electing officers. After a careful consideration of the candidates the following officers were elected: President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Reporter Meredith Freeman Ann Montgomery Nancy Willard Sarah Hudson .. Marie Thompson SENIORS GO TO SEE MACBETH In November the Seniors were very delighted at the opportunity of going to Henderson to see “Macbeth.” It was shown on the stage by the Avon players, who are widely known ])rofessional actors. This play was very interesting because the English class had just finished reading the tragedy. DR. A. H. STRICT PAYS VISIT HERE Dr. A. H. Strict, music instructor from Earmville State Teachers Col- lege, came to our school in March and entertained the school in chapel with several selections on the piano. Mr. Walter Payne sang several solos. APPRECIATION TO THE ROTARIANS We would like to thank the members of the Rotary Club for the spirit they have shown toward our school. Twice a month two members of the high school, getting the highest citizenship mark, are entertained by the Rotary Club. This encourages the students and is quite an honor. We appreciate this very much. BASKETBALL BANQUET On March 23, 1938, a Basketball Banquet was enjoyed by the mem- bers of both teams. John Tucker acted as toastmaster and Mr. Bean, mayor, gave an interesting talk on athletics. Several officers, also Coaches Gilliam and Chaffey, spoke on their appreciation of the teams. After the banquet the members of both teams and their invited guests went to the Big Exchange Warehouse to dance. On May 4th the Choral Club sponsored the well known lyric soprano. Miss Alma Milstead, who is a member of the Metropolitan Opera Com- pany. Miss Milstead is rated as one of the seven best singers in the U. S. and is internationally known as a great artist. The Choral Club gave programs at many churches and schools in the country and sang over radio station W. R. V. A. in Richmond.

We, the Senior Class of 1938, being of sound mind and good memory, do hereby make this, our last will and testament. Feeling that we have not much longer to live, we desire that our property, namely our faults and virtues, be equally distributed before our death. First, we desire that we shall be given a decent burial, with the Junior Class as pall bearers, and the Sophomores and Faculty as chief mourners. To the faculty, we leave peace and quiet from one of the “worst” good classes that has ever been in high school. We desire that they forget the many D’s they have put on our papers in trying to make out our reports. To the Juniors we leave the seats by the windows, hoping they will enjoy them as much as we have. To the Sophomores, we leave our high standards of being the largest and smartest class that ever graduated from this High School. To the Freshmen we will our worldly wisdom acquired in dealing with teachers, with the hope that they will get through with less work than we did. The beauties of the Senior Class leave their patches, paint and powder to the Sophomores, to be divided appropriately among them and hope they will make them as beautiful as their sisters. The sheiks of the Senior Class leave their charming ways with the ladies and their ability to win all sports to the succeeding classes in the hopes they will come out on top as they did. We take pride in leaving with Mrs. Gilliam all the girls with hopes that they will win more games next year. To Miss Billings we leave all the things that the Senior Home Eco- nomic students have cooked but hope she will not try to eat them because she will be needed here next year. ! To Mr. Noblin the boys leave the shop tools they have broken and worn out, hoping that the next classes will be more careful. Upon the South Hill High School students we bestow our best wishes that each one may attain great heights of education, achieve great things, and be an efficient leader in everything he undertakes. And we will to them our Senior dignity as we feel it will be useful to them in years to come. Signed: Elizabeth Sue Thomasson. BbY es.scs; The Senior Class.
