Although not among the largest of the classes of V. H. S., we have contributed much to the history, which I shall endeavor to record. Four years ago the career of this illustrious class began, when a group of verdant Freshmen, under the leadership of Mr. Easterly, hopefully began their ascent to ’28. During this year many were the trials and tribulations, which we met with a smile. With Edith Darter as President we gained recognition from our superior sister-classes, and our first year was voted a success. With the coming of the next autumn we found ourselves typical Sopho- mores, but we were soon put in our places b y the more experienced Juniors. This year Bill Allin was elected president, and under his leadership we worked hard, and looked forward to the time when we should become Seniors. The fall of ’26 found us eager Juniors, entering our third year with the enthusiasm characteristic of this class. As Juniors it was our privilege to be hosts to the Seniors at the Junior-Senior Banquet, which was voted a huge success. This was a year of hard work and many accomplishments, but at last we were the Seniors of V. H. S. In September, ’27, we, as Seniors, assembled for our last year together. In this year we not only maintained the high standards of our former years, but excelled them. Having assumed the dignity of Seniors, we met and conquered all that came before us. Bill Allin, David Cash and Bob Preston added to our glory in athletics. With Miss Hanson and Miss Aaron to guide us we have met with success in all we have undertaken. As we near the end of our high school career, there comes over us a feeling of sadness. Although we leave our High School, we shall ever pay her homage as we take our rightful places in the world. We bid V. H. S. a fond farewell. Mary Gordon Mclver. 36 192 7 The Virginian 19 2 8 Ikopfjecp While traveling about the country I bought a newspaper from a small boy. Upon looking at the date I found that it was one of those New York papers which was printed a year or so ahead of time. Glancing at the front page I saw a picture of an aviator, who was preparing a non-stop flight around the world. His route was being staked out by Bill Allin, a famous civil engineer. The aviator was none other than Walter Maiden. Looking further down the front page, I spied an interesting column. Howard Kelly and William Godsey, seekers of Indian relics, had found some bones and relics which they think are remains of Adam and Eve. Noticing the excellent subject matter and splendid editorials, I was curious to see who the editor was. He proved to be Carl Tranum. His business manager was Wesley Davis. Wesley’s arrangement of the advertisements was very good. I read over a few of them. Perhaps they would interest you. BUY GROCERIES SAVE MONEY FROM AT DAVIS CHAIN STORES L. S. STORES Earl Davis, Proprietor Staley Short, President BOOKS MAKE YOURSELF ALWAYS ENJOYED ATTRACTIVE SMITH PRINTING CO. Mildred Rutherford Walter Wordon, Special Agent HAIR DRESSER Leaving these ads I became interested in the society news. The following are items of interest: Miss Virginia Crosswhite has returned to Vassar after spending the week-end with friends in New York City. She is a teacher there. Mr. and Mrs. “Bear” Creger (nee Brownie Campbell) have returned from their honeymoon to Europe. Miss India Gilmer is able to resume her teaching at her kindergarten, after a slight illness. Miss Mary Lois Frances is leaving for a visit with friends in Paris. Miss Evelyn Brooks, world famous poet, is established in her new mansion on Riverside Drive. Knowing no more of the social butterflies I passed without reading further. As I turned the page I caught sight of the program for the radio. From station KDKA 37 19 2 7 The Virginian 19 2 8 Mary Hasselvander will play a selection from Carmen. At 9:30 Joseph Callahan will render a solo. Claude Edens is the favorite announcer of this station. My train was not due for hours so I decided to attend a vaudeville at one of the opera houses. Just inside of the lobby of the opera house was a rare painting by a noted artist, Dorothy Hawks. The windows were artistically draped with draperies designed by Pauline Glover. The exquisite flowers were furnished by Ruth Hoover. Once in my seat, I began to look around. At the piano in the orchestra I spied Louise McChesney. The director of this orchestra was no other than Joe Kelly. In a box I saw Frances Slatery and Hazel Smeltser. They have made a fortune from a delicatessen shop. The first act was composed of acrobatic stunts by Sarabel McEver. Act two was group of songs in French sung by Edith Darter. They were translated by Hazel Peters. Next came a dance by the famous ballet dancer, Lena Salyer and her partner, J. D. Cross. They are pupils of Frances Trammell, dancing teacher. The next act is a one-act play. The stage is under the direction of Frances Faust. The heroine of this act is Mary Gordon Mclver and her hero — David Cash, a football star. Lillian Kennedy is the vamp of this play but Mary Gordon handles the Cash too cleverly for Lillian. A mystery act is next given by Paul Hoover. He is graduating from high school. In the vestibule, on the way out, I ran across Robert Preston. He is now a successful nose specialist. On the train I bumped into Mary Thomas, who is on a business trip for her firm. She together with Naomi Couch, are representatives of the Listerine Company. My train was delayed, therefore I missed connections in Baltimore. Passing Johns Hopkins Hospital I saw Virginia Barker in a ward attending the sick. Kenneth Chandler is a lawyer in the same city. Sadly in the need of money I hunted a bank. The only one convenient was a Scotch bank. In this bank Frank Taylor was the paying teller. Irene Eversole was the secretary to the presi- dent, Herman Simcox. In a large store in Baltimore I recognized another long lost friend, Elizabeth Holmes. Eliza- beth is store hostess there. Ruby Worley and Margaret Musick are teachers in the Baltimore High School. Once more on the train I begin to think of my classmates which I have not seen. I regret it because I cannot see James Barker but he is out West. He is assistant scout master in Utah. Lucille Sherritt is also out West. She is a collector for the Elliot Jewelry Company. In Washington I stop over to sight-see. At the Congressional Library, Herman Cuddy is librarian. His assistant is Brazilla Campbell. A new set of books have been presented the library by Gladys Wise. Lois White is in charge of a lovely tearoom just across from the capital. She is helped in this work by Audrey Mumpower. Headed for home! Norbourne Galliher is on the train with me. He is an electrical engineer for the railroad. Back home! Here I find two wise people — they believe in home. Sara Watson is no longer Sara Watson. She is Sara Whatshername. James Smith is a bookkeeper for the Third National Bank at home. Thus Time, the great news writer revealed to me, through that commonplace medium, the newspaper, the fate of these classmates whose careers had long been the theme of much thought and discussion in the old days at Virginia High — Truly, “Character is destiny,” and our lives shape themselves by this truth. — Annette Kearfott. — lu4W( ‘ , 3 . 4 . 38 1927 The Virginian 1928 Senior Clagg ;Poem The year of ’28 has come, The time for us to leave. Long have we thought of happiness, But now we think of grief. We came to you back in ’24, And thought of education, there was none. But since, dear school, you’ve changed our minds And developed us along many lines. We’ve studied hard and made our grades; We’ve worked, and worked, and sometimes played. To leave our classmates, tried and true We find a difficult thing to do. At sunrise, in our Freshman year, We began the day, without a fear. As the Sophomore Class, this school was ours, We thought we led in knowledge and prowess. As noon approached, Juniors were we, So studious and brilliant we seemed to be! But the sun is sinking and at the close of the day We, as Seniors who love you, must go away. J. D. Cross, Jr 39 19 2 7 1928 The Virginian z o p 3 s M .Q J2 O H M c .S V •d +J g C8 1-.

This document being drawn up and signed in the Year of Our Lord Nineteen Hundred and Twenty- Eight. First: To the Faculty we leave the right to look at us when we are at the height of our ca- reers and say, “We, the teachers of Virginia High, laid the foundation for the doing of these great things.” May due honor for the glory of our illustrious future fall upon them! Second: To Miss Aaron we leave our best, the vague hopes for a Civics class whose entirety reaches the gleaming goal of perfection, which will allow them to converse indiscriminately thruout the entire period. Third: To the Junior Class we bequeath, with all good feeling, the right to be threatened, or entreated, as the case may be, by the unfortunate Editor-in-Chief, Business Manager, or Faculty Advisor of next year’s Virginian. Also the privilege of laying the blame for all unfor- tunate circumstances at the feet of their worthy president. Fourth: To the Sophs and Freshmen, we will the right to display their sculptural talent (?) on any unblemished woodwork on the premises of said Virginia High School, thereby filing enduring memoirs of themselves in the archives of history of V. H. S. Fifth: To our Alma Mater we do bequeath our lasting love and respect, hoping that every class that passes thru Old Virginia High will be treated as well as we have been. Our remaining acquisitions and properties we dispose of as follows: Herman Cuddy’s retiring disposition we leave, with hopes of the best results, to Newton Bush. In case of said beneficiary’s failure to care for this legacy, it will be conferred upon one of the many to whom such a gift would be appropriate. To Charles Weingartner and Lawrence Kelly, Howard Kelly and Bill Godsey bequeath the right to continue their extensive archeological exploits in the vicinity of Elizabethton, Tennessee. Louise McChesney solemnly wills her extensive and elaborate line to any Junior maiden having ambitions in the “angling” business. Wesley Davis would like to leave his gift of gab to any one of several Juniors, both masculine and feminine, but at the last moment finds life to be utterly unbearable without it, and is unable to part with it. Lillian Kennedy leaves her surplus skirt to anyone who thinks it big enough to be worth taking. Bill Allin bequeaths a certain amount of “footage” to Miss Hanson. David Cash and Mary Gordon Mclver leave a shining example for those who do not consider puppy love the beginning of a dog’s life. This last will and testament of the Class of ’28 we leave to be executed by those, from among our number, who decide to stay in V. H. S. for another year or two.

For the first time in six years, Virginia went down to defeat at the hands of Tennessee, who came out on the long end of a 29 to 8 score. It was the first time in six years that a Tennessee man had crossed Virginia’s goal line. But this time Nature interposed, through the Law of Nature, and Tennessee won. The first quarter was a see-saw battle, back and forth, with honors about even. Tennessee scored first when Feathers’ first punt was blocked and he fell on it behind his own goal line, giving Tennessee a safety. But a few minutes later Virginia retaliated by downing Wilson, Tennessee back, behind his goal line for a safety. The quarter ended with the score: Tennessee, 2; Vir- ginia, 2. The second quarter was a merry-go-round for Tennessee, who scored three touchdowns in this period. The first one came when Cash jumped up and batted down a Tennessee punt and Tennessee recovered on Virginia’s five yard line. After three attempts Smith, Tennessee, finally punched it over for a touchdown. Tennessee’s next score was by the aerial route. King heaved a pass over the Virginia goal line into the waiting hands of “Big Bob” Edwards, Tennessee end. The next one came in about two minutes when King, Tennessee, intercepted a long Virginia pass and crossed the goal line untouched. The half ended with the score: Tennessee, 22; Vir- ginia, 2. In the third quarter Virginia scored her only touchdown, which came as a result of a deter- mined march down the field and then a pass. The pass, Sublett to Feathers, was caught, carried a few steps, fumbled, recovered by a Virginia end, and carried the remaining twenty-five yards to the goal line for Virginia’s only touchdown of the game. Tennessee failed to score in this period. The third quarter was all Virginia’s. Score at the end of quarter: Tennessee, 22; Virginia, 8. In the fourth quarter Tennessee scored again when King heaved another pass over the Virginia line to “Big Bob”. Then it became a matter of time with Tennessee playing a defensive game and Virginia trying desperately to score. A pass, Feathers to Miller, came very near adding another six points to Virginia’s score, but it was incomplete. When the final whistle blew the scoreboard read: Tennessee, 29; Virginia, 8. The score looks as if it were a track meet for Tennessee, but those who saw the game know differently. They know that every man who wore an Orange and Black uniform that day was a hero; that Virginia was victorious even in defeat. Although we ar e offering no alibi for the defeat, still a look at statistics of the game will show that Lady Luck certainly did not smile on the boys clad in Orange and Black that Saturday. Take a look. Including the yardage gained from two passes heaved over the goal line for touchdowns, Tennessee gained only seventy-seven yards from scrimmage, compared with 287 yards gained by Virginia. Tennessee made only two first downs during the game, while Virginia made seven. Tennessee’s first touchdown came as a result of a play by Cash, Virginia end, which gave Tennessee the ball on Virginia’s five-yard line and four downs to put it across. And as far as blocking passes was concerned the diminutive Virginia backs were helpless when the passes went to “ Big Bob” Edwards, who towered far above them all, and pulled down two passes while standing safely over the Virginia goal line. Well, it’s a long lane that has no turning, so I guess it was just Tennessee’s time to win, and let’s not begrudge them the victory for they earned it. But — but — next year there will be another meeting on Tenneva Field, Orange and Black vs. Maroon and White and I am sure there is not one among us who wishes Tennessee’s 1927 victory to be a “Twice Told Tale” in 1928. So remember there will come another day, another game, and when the final whistle blows — well, I am not a prophet, but I seem to have a vision of the scoreboard at the end of that game. It certainly looks good to me and I am a Virginian, so draw your own conclusions. David F. Cash, Athletic Editor. 62 19 2 7 The Virginian 1928 55fi t. 1927 The Virginian 1928 jfoottiaU banquet One of the prettiest banquets ever given at Virginia High was the one given the 1927 football squad and their girl friends by the Parent-Teachers Association. The lunch room, carrying out the color scheme of orange and black in the decorations, was a scene of gaiety during the evening. The tables, with their crystal candlesticks holding orange tapers, and their snowy linens were very pretty. Unique place-cards and favors suitable for every person added to the attractiveness of the tables. Jim Crockett was elected captain of the ’28 squad. The prize given the best athlete by Mrs. J. L. Kennedy was awarded Beattie Feathers. Mrs. Virginia Parrish in her usual gracious manner acted as Toastmistress. Between courses school songs were sung and the following toasts were given: Annette Kearfott David Cash Wesley Davis Carl Tranum “Pat” Meaney “Bill” Godsey 1927 The Virginian 1928 Pops’ pasfecUpall tjuai) Paul Sublett, C.

A peppy college play, it proved to be an excellent method of developing much talent among those selected for the cast. It is hardly fair to single out individuals for special mention as every member of the cast seemed to be especially adapted to his part and to take it unusually well. Much favorable comment was heard regarding the work of Walter Maiden as the country boy, Carl Tranum as the hard-luck football star, Newton Bush as the college joke, Bill Godsey as the college president, Louise McChesney and Frances Faust as daughters of the college president. This play was given twice, first in the High School auditorium and again Thursday, December 15, at the Jefferson School under the auspices of the P. T. A. of that school. Jfrencf) Panpet On Tuesday evening, December 20th, the members of the French Club delightfully entertained with a French banquet at the Colonial Tea Room. A delicious French menu was served. Only Club members, Miss Hanson and Miss Schilling attended this de- lightful affair. “£uptb=®p=to=Bate” Tuesday night, , in the Virginia High auditorium, “ Cupid- Up-To-Date” was given under the auspices of the P. T. A. This was a snappy musical comedy under the direction of Miss Yvonne Paige. Mrs. Ted Hodge, Joe Callahan, and Harriet Cooper played the leading parts. The rest of the cast was selected from high school students and some other local talent. 72 HUMOR 192 7 The Virginian 19 2 8 1927 The Virginian 1928 ♦ ♦ ♦ f ofees ¥■ ♦ ♦ ♦ THE TEN COMMANDMENTS OF VIRGINIA HIGH I. “Get thee hence from my room,” sayeth Miss Aaron.

It’s a college of high standards and unquestioned Christian character. It offers health and climatic conditions unexcelled, hence it is operated on an all-year-round basis. Its beauty of location is rarely equalled. It has a strong faculty — 75% Ph. D. degrees. It offers, in addition to the regular Liberal Arts or A. B. course, many pre-professional courses. It has justified its claim by a long list of leaders in business and all the leading professions. It has splendid literary societies, and maintains a high moral standard in all athletics. It is a member of the Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools of the Southern States. Its many advantages are available at moderate cost, the total for the full A. B. course, by including summer quarters, being less than $1500, or an average of $375 per college year. J. FRED TAUSCHER, Jr., Manager BRISTOL PAPER BOX CO., Inc.

This, in spite of the fact that our service is not what it should be in spots and our merchandise doubtless sometimes shows faults. But errors happen to every human being. Our sales people cannot always be perfect and they are sometimes thoughtless, as you yourself doubtless are. It is human to err. But we believe heartily in the spirit of the organization. Our people are loyal and it is their intention to always be courteous and helpful to the people they serve. If there are any members of our organization who do not have this feeling, we trust that we shall learn about it and supply their places by people who are earnest and enthusiastic about their work. But well as we have served you in the past, we have never been entirely satisfied. We are always striving to improve. Our mistakes, if you tell us about them, will help us to make more definite progress. If our merchandise is not always right it is because we do not know it and we shall be grateful to you for telling us when anything is not entirely satisfactory. We not only will give you your money back without question, but we will make double haste to get into your hands exactly the goods you want, in the best and most perfect form. Always remember that it is our desire to serve you better, and tell us when we can help you in any way, or when we can make our merchandise or service more satisfactory to you. The H . P.
