V. H. S., to open its doors for the beginning of another school term in the year Nineteen Hundred and Thirty ' three, we entered as Freshmen. Everybody, even the teachers, were surprised at the intelligence of the Freshman class. We as Freshmen came into the class with one object in view that of living down the names of “Freshie” and “Greenie.” However, we learned that only by studying would we be able to outlive those stigmatizing epithets. We hold these truths to be selFevident: that in the year Nineteen Hundred and Thirty ' three, Virginia High School acquired a new principal. His cooperation throughout these four years has been cheerfully and willingly given and we pay our homage to him. That in the year Nineteen Hundred and Thirty ' three we were very much elated over the undefeated football games of the season. We were always ready to show our school spirit with the rest. In the year Nineteen Hundred and ThirtyTour this intelligent group of Freshmen became Sophomores. This new step made us feel as if we were climbing higher in the school world. Of course, when this change came, we were more enthusiastic in the school activities as we were then on the third floor — the land of privilege. We were voted into some of the school clubs, among these were: the Public Speaking Club, the Dramatic Club, the Glee Club, the Commer ' cial Club, and the Science Club. That in the year Nineteen Hundred and Thirty ' five, we became Juniors. We thought this a great honor, and indeed it was. Of course, we felt very important and took things in a more serious manner. In this, our Junior year, we had the pleasure of giving the Seniors the traditional banquet. There was only one desire left — that of becoming Seniors. Now that we have attained our seniority, we see that the term Senior is a kind of illusion — in the sense that it still beckons us to greater things- -yet it stands for much, and we feel that we measure up to its meaning. In this year we have done our best work and have received a true vision of the future. We, the Senior Class of 1937, do hereby humbly submit the facts of the case, and it is our hope that they will qualify us for graduation from this great institution. These facts are sub ' mitted in the year of our Lord, Nineteen Hundred and Thirty ' seven. — Teressa Rader. Page 21 c fo THE VIRGINIAN r o CLASS POEM (With due apologies to H. W. Longfellow.) Tell me not in mournful numbers, School is but an empty dream, For the mind is dead that slumbers, And studies are not what they seem. School is real! Teachers earnest! They set up a lofty goal; All who from their study turnest, Cannot touch it with a pole. No enjoyment— lots of sorrow Lies upon our destined way. If we act as if tomorrow Were but another day to play. School is long and time seems dragging, While we sit in weary classes And listen to the teachers bragging While the sluggish period passes. On the school’s broad field of battle In the halls of Virginia High Listen to the students prattle Of the dates that bring a sigh. Trust no teacher, howe’er pleasant Lest there fall upon our heads A test that for the present Makes us wish that we were dead. Lives of teachers all remind us We can make our school sublime, And do it honor if they’ll let us Have the chance, and give us time. Let us then be up and doing, Get our lessons clear and straight. Still achieving, still pursuing Tonight we have a heavy date. Susan Kearfott. Page 22 19 3 7 crNfo THE VIRGINIAN r+o CLASS WILL We, the graduating class of 1937, being of unquestionably sound mind and in an under- worked physical condition, do will and bequeath collectively and individually these doubtful qualities and characteristics, to the beneficiaries set forth herein, and hope that they will be as useful to the receivers as were they to the donors, in the year of our Lord, Nineteen Hundred and Thirty-seven. First , To the faculty we leave our mental ability and ask that it be distributed to the underclassmen. Second, To Miss Burrow we leave the hope that she will be able to find a senior class that isn ' t a burden to her. Third, To our Alma Mater we leave our love and best wishes and hope that all senior classes will be treated as we have been. Our individual gifts we bequeath as follows: 1. I, Hugh Pendleton, do will to Ernest Whittaker the right to sit at Miss Hanson’s desk. 2. I, Bill Dunn, do will to Tal Buchanan the right to come to Mr. Goble’s class late every day. 3. I, Joann Feazell, being blessed with an over amount of intelligence do will some of it to Betty Bradley. 4. We, Edith Markwalter and Josephine Jessee, do will our place in front of the window to Dorothy Nave. 5. I, G. O. Harr, do will my lovely bass voice to Ralph Brumet and hope that he will use it to a better advantage than have I. 6. I, Shirley McFern, leave to Mary Anne Mitchell my ability to attract all the boys. 7- I, Lawrence Barker, do will to Dink Burns the ability to keep two girls on the string at once, and not get caught. 8. We, Marie Gose and Dorothy Sue Crumley, leave our two Sunday night visitors to Alice Hammer and Ruth Rice. 9. I, Seth Hobart, do will all my sax-appeal to Jack Buchanan. 10. I, Junior McCulloch, leave all my wit to Andrew Fulton Kelly. 11. I, Bill Johnson, will to O. L. Hamilton my ability to play basket-ball. 12. We, Elizabeth Kernan and Gruen McCl ellan, leave our innumerable King College boys to Elizabeth Noblett and Lois Carico. 13. We, Joe Jones and Olga Russo, leave a shining example to those who think puppy love is the beginning of a dog’s life. 14. I, Billy Snodgrass, leave my gift of gab to Jack Phipps. 15. To Cecil Trivett, I, Jimmy Buchanan, leave my club to keep the girls away. 16. I, Bill Clendenen, do will a portion of my feet to Miss Hanson. 17- I, Joe Smith, leave my position on the all-city team to any deserving guard. 18. To the school I leave this legal masterpiece inclusive of its superb writing. Signed : Richard C. Cash, Legator ' 37 Virginian. Witnesses: Marie Gose Teressa Rader Page 23 19 3 7 r o THE VIRGINIAN cr o CLASS PROPHECY Ah, what have we here? It is a machine which pictures the past and the future. This is just what I need to help me with my prophecy. This machine has the appearance of a movie screen with a lot of knobs and indicators at one side of it. I am going to turn one of the knobs to year 1947 and see what I find. What! There’s a baby playing with its toes (what feet!). It looks like a Clendennen. Gee, I must have it turned back instead of forward. Now, I have it turned right and look what I see! There is Virginia Morris still talking, but it seems she is paid for it now as a stooge at WOPI. Next, I see William Johnson. He is directing the gymnastics at the Y. M. C. A. Gee! There ' s Homer Jones as a well educated floor walker. Now I hear an orchestra. Herman Classen and Clarence Kearfott are in it and by the way, the great trucker, ' ' Woodrow Fleenor, is directing them. A political speaker comes into view. Why it ' s R. B. McCulloch, Jr., as the Republican Candidate for President; he is opposing Hugh K. Pendleton, the Democratic President. I see a sign which reads: BROKEN HEARTS MENDED LOVE HOSPITAL Dorothy Sue Crumley, Director Out in the residential section I see Mary Fallin, Inez Harris and Katherine Foulk doing household chores. Ruth Brown is in Europe, traveling on the money left her by a rich uncle. Mary Comer and Ethel Sorah have husbands with whom they are walking down the street. I see that Kathleen Lewis has a position in the Superintendent’s office. Why, there is Hugh Sharrett out at the river writing poetry. My, but it is a beautiful poem ! I now turn to look at Sullins, but our only representative is Edna Davis who teaches violin. My gracious! There are Genev a Counts and Hazel Goodpasture still running around. Won’t they ever settle down to peace and quiet? Who ' s that in the Bakery giving orders to the workers? Well, I do know! It’s Bud Dunn. But now let’s see who is at our Alma Mater. There’s Mary Alice Bibb teaching French; Frances Anne Jones teaching history (by the way it’s mostly family history); Cecil Jones, the girl ' s coach and Gaines Feazell, the boys ' coach, are fussing — seems like old times; and now, we have another history teacher, Mary Elizabeth Werth, but I don’t see anyone else I know. Gosh, Bill Clendenen owns a large truck farm and who do you suppose is managing it for him- Bill Cantwell. Oh, that beautiful woman — why, it ' s Margaret Barker, the famous artists’ model, with her manager, Frank Covey, in New York. Billy Snodgrass is a teacher at King but he doesn ' t seem to have pleasant looks for anyone who can’t dance and hum proficiently. King has other members of our class as teachers — Elizabeth Kernan, Gruen McClellan and Ruth McClellan (how they like their King boys!). An antique shop is next in view, with Elizabeth Burns manager and Gladys Odum as her secretary. Smith ' s Cafe isn’t doing so well from the looks of it. I guess the reason is that Joe eats up the profits. Page 24 19 3 7 (T+3 THE VIRGINIAN ofo CLASS PROPT Continued Rosemary Rice owns a stilt factory, but on the si xtremely good lawyer. The Cumberland Street Arena is flourishing pictures ot rt Hayes, Edwin Wilson and Charles Shavis as wrestlers. I hear that Herbert Pitts is the manager of Edwin Wilson. We thought Jimmy Buchanan was going to be an auto racer but this machine shows him as a fairly prosperous Bristol business man. Our business manager, Marie Cose, must have thought highly of that job because I see her in Hotel Bristol as head hostess. Another manager in our midst, Billie Wayne Dungan, is directing the business end of Jack Emmert’s chewimg-gum factory. This machine certainly is a good one because I don ' t think I would have foreseen Mack Luttrell as a second Bob Burns, without a bazooka, of course. I see a new school in Bristol. A. H. Ingle, Earl Dishner, R. B. Ellis and Bill Zimmerman are operating it for bashful boys. Now the machine shows Gordon Shankel, manager, and Jimmy Weiler, assistant manager, of Yackum Packing Company. An opera is now showing on my machine. Mary Stoots and G. O. Harr are the leading squawkers. And while still in New York, the machine shows Ada Belle Jones in Tin Pan Alley living with the other artists, and there is Seth Hobart on Broadway — a Fred Astaire of tomorrow. The machine is returning to Bristol again where we see Larry Barker still a man-about-town ' Augusta Pepper comes to the limelight as a dramatist, but she seems to prefer home life to that of the stage. Jimmy Eversole and Dean Hodgson are collaborating on a revival. They are well-known preachers in Bristol. An operating table comes to view, Dick Cash as surgeon with Virginia Ketron, Cleo Brown and Virginia Worsham as assistants and nurses. Susan Kearfott is an active member of the State D. A. R. She is entertaining the club at her home, it seems. Anita Shipley and Helen Smith tied in the last beauty contest, so they went to Hollywood to obtain jobs but as yet they are only extras. Frances Wade, Edith Markwalter, and Josephine Jessee are active members of the Business Women ' s Club of Bristol. We have another sign: DAVIS BEAUTY SHOP BEAUTY FOR EVERYOKE EVERYONE FOR BEAUTY Virginia and Katherine Davis Mary Elizabeth Johnson and Teressa Rader are busily engaged in doing committee work for their various organizations. Stuart Groseclose is calling the square dances over WSM for the Grand Old Oprey My, my, there is Joe Jones inventing something while his wife, Olga, is managing an exclusive women ' s shop. Will you look now at that machine? There I am pounding away at the typewriter — just another court reporter. — Shirley McFern.

BOWERS After nineteen years of continuous service as superintendent of the Bristol, Virginia, public schools, Roy B. Bowers is retiring from this position at the close of the 1936 1937 session. Under the administration of Mr. Bowers the growth of the system has been steady and consistent. When he entered upon this position in 1919 , the total enrollment of the schools was 1305 pupils in both elementary and high schools, with 36 teachers in the entire system. During the present year the total enrollment is 2172 pupils under the super- vision of 74 teachers. No item of this growth is more graphic than that of the High School, whose pupils numbered 143 in 1919 and 461 in 1937 , an increase of 290 per cent. The average teacher’s salary nineteen years ago was $ 587 . 09 , while today that average is $ 1090 , an increase of over 53 per cent. Mr. Bowers’ building program has been an impressive one. Washington School on Washington Street has been rebuilt, an entire new building has replaced the old one of Jefferson School on Mary Street and a new wing has been added to the High School building. This program, under Mr. Bowers ' supervision and advice, will be continued this summer with the building of a new gymnasium at the High School, and a new wing and auditorium at the Lee School on Oak Street. Mr. Bowers, a true progressive in education, has endeavored to incorporate into the school system of Bristol, Virginia, the soundest of the new ideas and curricular changes in the educational world. The platoon system, one of the earliest deviations from the traditional type school, was tried out at Jefferson School for several years before the introduction of the new Virginia core curriculum. Since the initiation of the revised curriculum in the state of Virginia, Bristol been of the first towns in the western part of the state to put it into sent time the elementary schools of Bristol are organized sed core curriculum, and High School classes are using as far as they have been worked out by the State Pro- ud of youth, Mr. Bowers has evidenced a deep and r problems and a patient understanding of our short- J1 joins with members of former classes in gratitude for jret for his loss. 19 3 7 cr-KD THE VIRGINIAN cr o WHO’S WHO Ralph Brumet Eleanor Beachley Handsomest Boy Prettiest Girl Most Studious Boy Stuart Groseclose Marie Gose Most Popular Boy Most Athletic Girl Wittiest 19 3 7 cr+o THE VIRGINIAN cr o WHO’S WHO Joann Feazell Hugh Pendleton Most Studious Girl Cutest Boy Edwin Wilson Biggest Bluff Teressa Rader Most Popular Girl Cutest Girl Best AlPRound Girl Dick Cash Most Athletic Boy Best AlPRound Boy Page 37 19 3 7 cr o THE VIRGINIAN r o MISCELLANEOUS SNAPSHOTS Room 306 Strong man !

This organization was responsible for bringing to Bristol the Spanish dancer, Carlos de Vega, and his assistants, Ynez and Mariluz. Members of the ’36 Football Squad and their dates were entertained very elaborately by the P. T. A. on Wednesday, November IS, 1936, in the Orange Room at Lane ' s Restaurant. The arrangement of the table was unique, carrying out the school colors and at the “V” of the table a miniature football field was arranged, goal posts with orange and back streamers extending the full length of the tables. The symbolic place cards were miniature footballs, which were large pecans gilded. Favors were made of gum drops; players to the gentlemen, corsages to the ladies. This occasion was most delightful in every respect On Friday morning, December 18, the Dramatic Club presented three very entertaining Christmas plays in assembly. The first, “Grandma ' s Christmas,” second, “Uncle Mel’s Merry Christmas,” and third, “A Sign LJnto You.” These three plays were artistically presented and well received. The next enjoyable event of the year was our “Faculty Take-off,” which took place on Thursday afternoon, January 14, the sixth period. The students participating made perfect impersonations of the Faculty. On the evening of February 18, under the supervision of Miss Hanson, a French play eiv titled Poor Silvie,” was presented. Following the play, the Boys’ and Girls’ Glee Clubs gave a “Cabaret,” with Junior McCulloch acting as master of ceremonies. The Girls’ basket-ball team gave a delightful banquet on Thursday evening, February 19, at Hotel Bristol. Members of the squad and guests were present, with Ruby Baker acting as toastmistress. Our last and happiest social event was the Junior-Senior Banquet, tendered to the Seniors by the Juniors. Pinehurst Country Club was beautifully decorated in spring flowers and Senior class colors. This was an occasion long to be remembered by the ' 37 graduates. — Edna Davis. Page 40 19 3 7 VIRGINIA PARRISH LIBRARY CLUB OFFICERS A. F.

With the green material available, Virginia won three games and lost eight. After the annual battle with Tennessee High, five players were placed on the All-City team. On September 11 Virginia High opened its season against Mountain City. After a great fight, the Orange went down to defeat, 13-6. Cash scored on a long pass from James Miller. Bobby Peters and teammates proved a little too much for the fighting Virginians and they were again defeated, 24-0, on the latter’s field. Virginia journeyed to Knoxville on September 24 to play a large team from Central High. The Bobcats held our small team scoreless while they amassed 32 points to win an easy victory. The game was witnessed by a large crowd and broadcast for the benefit of Bristol fans. The Orange wave tasted victory for the first time on October 2 by defeating Piney Flats, 45-0. The second team played nearly half of the game after the varsity had scored almost at will. James Miller totaled three touch- downs while Trivett, Groseclose, Pendleton, and Wilson scored one each. An extra point decided the thrilling contest between Erwin and Virginia on October 9. Miller, for Virginia, scored first; but Erwin retaliated on a trick reverse and kicked the extra point that spelled victory for the visitors. The final score stood at 7-6, though the Orange were marching for another touchdown when the whistle sounded. On October 16 in a downpour of rain, a 35-yard run by Stuart Groseclose midway of the third quarter won for Virginia High gridsters their second victory of the season Norton lost to Virginia High by a score of 6-0. Virginia met a disastrous defeat at the hands of little Abingdon. Jim Woolwine starred as they set us back 36-0. Virginia practically gave Johnson City nine points in the first minute of play, but came back to make a heroic stand against the Hilltoppers. The fighting Virginians gave J. C. H. S. a great battle before finally succumbing 17-6. Trivett scored our touchdown after flawless blocking had advanced the ball 72 yards downfield. Undefeated and untied Saltville came to Bristol on November 6. After an exciting game, they won, 13-6. Hugh Pendleton intercepted a Saltville pass and raced 65 yards to score Virginia’s lone touchdown. Hugh Sharrett, Varsity Guard, suffered a broken ankle and was lost for the remainder of the season. Again displaying power on a muddy field, Virginia High defeated Appalachia, 12-0, on November 12. The Orange tallied twice on long marches, Edwin Wilson carrying the ball across on both occasions. The final score was 12 - 0 . November 20 finally arrived and found both squads in good condition for the city championship struggle. The first half was fought on even terms and the score was 0-0 at the intermission. At the beginning of the second half Tennessee started the fireworks by scoring on a long run. Before the Orange and Black could recover, Tennessee scored twice more to assure them the victory - 18-0. Sportsmanship was the cleanest and most desirable that has been evidenced in the history of the two schools. Page 56 19 3 7 THE VIRGINIAN (r o Page 57 19 3 7 r o THE VIRGINIAN g o . BASKET-BALL SQUAD FIRST ROW Joe Smith, Manager Woodrow Fleenor Richard Cash, Co ' Captain Bill Johnson, Co ' Captain Jack Emmert James Hagy SECOND ROW Coach Herman J. Baker O. L. Hamilton Herman Classen Junior McCulloch Dee Minnick Dennis Burns Lawrence Wade, Manager Page 58 19 3 7 cr+o THE VIRGINIAN cr fO: BASKET-BALL Virginia High should be proud of the basket-ball team that Coach Herman J. Baker placed on the floor for the season of 1937- With only Co-captains Dick Cash and Bill Johnson around which to mold his team, Coach Baker developed one of the finest quints that has ever represented Virginia High. Along with Cash and Johnson, Coach developed two straight-shooting forwards in Jack Emmert and Lawrence Barker and a cool-headed guard of last year ' s junior varsity, James Hagy. Woodrow Fleenor, last of the great Fleenor brothers of Virginia High athletic fame, handled most of the substitution. He played a guard position. This team made a brilliant record. It won 17 games and lost only three, two of which went to the Emory and Henry yearlings. Virginia not only won the city championship from the powerful Tennessee High team but also the eighth district championship of Virginia. Tennessee High, East Tennessee District champions and finally the Tennessee State cham- pions, fell before the smooth-working, fighting Orangemen in two straight games. Virginia captured the first game of the series on January 29, on the Mary Street court. Two overtime periods were necessary to determine the winner of that brilliant and exciting game. It was Bill Johnson’s beautiful one-handed shot that gave the Orange and Black victory by a 36-34 score. On February 1-3, the boys made an impressive three-day stand in Wise County. Beating Wise and Appalachia by neat scores, their real test came on February 3. At Norton, they encountered Flat Gap, state champions in class “C” and champions of Wise County. With Dick Cash playing his greatest game in three years of Varsity ball, Virginia emerged with victory by a score of 34-28. The stage was set for the second city championship game on February 23 at the King College gym. A large and excited crowd saw the fast-breaking Orangemen take an early lead and keep it until the last quarter, when Tennessee “got hot. Then a last minute rally, led by Barker and Johnson, gave the Virginians the city title in two straight games. It was Bill Johnson who once more came through to sink the winning basket. The score when the whistle blew was 27-26. Virginia High was then invited to participate in the Tazewell tournament because of its impressive record during the season. On March 5 the boys “took the great Tazewell team by the count of 28-25. The score does not indicate how close the game really was. The next night the fighting Virginians won the district championship by handing Big Stone Gap a 29-27 licking. Co-captains Cash and Johnson were placed on the all-tournament honor team. The following week found the team at Charlottesville, competing for the State Champion- ship of Class “B . Virginia played its first game with Rocky Mount. Not able to get started the first half, the boys went back into the game the last half and played real ball. But it was too much “first half” in Rocky Mount ' s favor and Virginia was eliminated by a score of 26-19. Not counting the loss of the two games to the Emory and Henry Freshmen, Virginia won 17 straight games. This is indeed a record that speaks for itself. The only high school team that defeated us was Rocky Mount. Virginia High amassed a total of 625 points during the entire season as Compared to 437 for their opponents.
