ADMINISTRATICN Most people think that the students are the most im- portant factors in a school. These people are mistaken, for the faculty holds that position. Without a good and patient faculty it is impossible to have good students and a good all-round school. The faculty of Virginia High School, in addition to teaching academic subjects, instructs in various Helds, in- cluding manual arts, fine arts, business courses, music, speech, drama, home economics, physical education, driv- ing, diversified occupations, and guidance. Most impor- tant of all they help build the solid citizens of tomorrow. There are certain fundamental subjects that go into making up a good high school curriculum. History, Eng- lish, and mathematics are the basis for a well-rounded education. The faculty members teaching English are Mrs. W. W. Fillinger, Miss Virginia Anderson, Miss Louise Brewer, Miss Audrey Doak, Miss Doris Neal, Miss Mozelle Porter, Mr. Robert Humphreys, Mrs. Mary Peoples, and Mrs. Rosa Baldwin. The history and social studies instructors are Mrs. L. B. Boatright, Mrs. Nora DeBusk, Miss Emily Gilmer, Miss Mayme McCoy, Miss Doris Neal, Mr. Bob Coleman, Mrs. Frances Boyd, and Mr. Bill Wilkins. Those instructing in mathematics are Mr. W. C. Rasnick, Miss Etta Hillman, Mrs. L. B. Boatright, Mrs. A. I. Eaton, Miss Betty Huff, Mr. Kenneth Hewitt, and Mr. Iack Miller. The foreign language department, offering Spanish, French, and Latin, includes the guidance of Mr. Robert Humphreys, Mrs. Nora DeBusk, and Mrs. Mary Peoples. The science department offers general science, biol- ogy, chemistry, and physics. These subjects are taught by Miss Emma Smith, Mr. I. Roscoe Hall, Mr. Kenneth Hewitt, Mr. R. B. Bunch, and Mr. William S. Powers. Mr. R. P. Dugger and Mr. I. B. Moore teach manual training and mechanical drawing. Teachers in iine arts and crafts are Miss Emily Gilmer and Miss Mayme McCoy. The business course offers bookkeeping, office train- ing, general business, and two years of typing and short- hand. Faculty members in this department are Mrs. I. M. Creger, Miss Susan French, Mrs. Hellen Loggans, and Mrs. A. I. Eaton. The music courses' include band, chorus, piano, and music appreciation. These courses are carried out by Mr. Hamp Richardson. Mr. Raymond Kreiner, Miss Eleanor Curtin, and Miss Audrey Doak. Speech, drama, and expression instructors are Miss Eleanor Curtin and Mr. Iohn Booth. The home economics department is under the guid- ance of Miss Martha Baxter and Miss Laura Io Ellis. The physical education department staff includes: Mr. Ed Goode, Mr. King Gaut, Miss Irene Brown, Miss Dorothy Cowden, Mr. Robert Coleman. Mr. Iack Miller, Mr. Bill Wilkins, and Mr. Casto Ramsey, driving and ath- letic director. The diversified occupations department which pro- vides part-time jobs for the students is headed by Mrs. Frances Boyd Guidance and educational testing are carried out by Miss Mozelle Porter, Miss Doris Neal, Mrs. Rosa Baldwin, and Mr. W. C. Rasnick. ' Miss Leone Cooper is the school librarian and in- structor on how to use the library. This is a week's course taught to the underclassmen. Mr. Carl Holland, Mrs. Ted Francis, Miss Sally Hickam, Mr. Iohn Booth, and Mrs. Laura Toms are the seventh grade teachers. Y Mr. Bill Powers, the assistant prinicipal, and Mr. T. T. Hammack, principal, guide both facultyqnd students. Although a faculty member's job is to instruct, this is only one of the many things that these teachers do for the students. A good faculty makes good students, and these two groups make a wonderful school. Page l 1 1 I 1.l nloerinfencfenf MR. IOSICPII B. XZAN PELT Page 12 Kaur! of gywcafion Hifi Left to right: MR.

Its purposes have been to promote leadership, to help the school and community, to act as a clearing house for stu- dent problems, and to encourage good citizenship. Every student in the sophomore, junior, and senior classes is automatically a member of the S. C. A. The legislative body is composed of two councils: The Prefect Council, with its live elected oflicers and rep- resentatives of each of the three upper classes, and the general council, composed of a representative from each homeroom. Some of this year's projects were regulating the sale of candy at lunch time, awarding student letters to out- standing, graduating seniors, encouraging church attend- ance, and working on an honor system, the big project of the year. The 1952-53 officers, committee chairmen, and spon- sor were as follows: President, Ierry Cassell, Vice-Presi- dent, Nancy Oakley, Secretary, Garland Osborne, Treas- urcr, Ianis Cowan, Reporter, Harold Wilson, House and Grounds, Valen Miller, Health and Welfare, Shirley Rogers, Spiritual Growth, Bob Harris, Finance, Ianis Cowan, Publicity, Harold Wilson, and sponsor, Mrs. W. W. Fillinger. omior The Iunior Student Cooperative Association has a very definite purpose. lt is to act as a guide and example, to all students of the 7th, Sth, and 9th grades. It is in- terested in improving the school, offers training in leader- ship and responsibility and in student - faculty cooperation. There are two regular meetings each month. The club encourages cleanliness by awarding banners to de- serving rooms. lt helps to encourage the sale of savings stamps, church attendance and other worthwhile activities.

The Virginia High Key Club, sponsored by the Bristol Kiwanis Club, is a member of the Key Club International. It strives to develop leadership and good citizenship. Taken as annual projects of the Key Club were the development of good sportsmanship between Virginia and Tennessee High, selling corsages at the Virginia-Tennessee football games, raking leaves on the campus, sending rep- resentatives to the Kiwanis Club meetings, selling basket- ball programs, taking a Santa Pal at Christmas, assisting with the Career Conference, and sponsoring dances. This year Mr. Scotty Lupton spoke in assembly and emphasized the important work that Key Clubs are doing all over the nation. Hara CM In an effort to accomplish the purposes of the club, the Betas have put in an enjoyable and money making year. The purpose of the club is to promote ideals of honesty, service and leadership. Among our foremost objectives have been selling Christmas cards, selling stationery, presenting our annual talent show, contributing to the Beta education fund and to the Crippled Children's Society of Virginia. The club also took part in the selling of refreshments at the basket- ball games. The social life of the club has been emnnerated by two successful outings, but the highlight of the year was the State Convention in Richmond. There were thirty new members added to the club during the spring term. Officers were Betty King, Presi- dent, Carlanna Lindamood, Vice-President, Sarah Neblett, Secretary, Gay Barlow, Treasurer, Bill Morrell, Reporter, and Eugene Ruble, Sergeant-at-Arms. rz.,.J,r-y To create, maintain, and extend Christian standards of living throughout the school and community expresses the purpose of the Boys' Hi-Y. In accordance with this objective, the club urged cooperation and church attend- ance and joined with the Girls' Hi-Y in attending church service in a body once each month. ZATIDNS Some projects were selling concessions, sharing Christ- mas joy with a Santa Pal, buying club pins for the mem- bers, and operating the coat check room at the basketball games. Under Mr. W. C. Rasnick as sponsor, the following officers were elected: Ed Morton, President, Tommie Hardin, Vice-President, Gene Malcolm, Secretary-Treas- urer, Iimmy Wilson, Sergeant-at-Arms, Ralph Clark, Chaplain, and Betty Ray Fuller, Sweetheart and Reporter. 9.4, 3.44- y The Girls' Tri Hi-Y, a religious service organization, tries to create, maintain, and extend high standards of Christian living throughout the school and community. To further this aim the club attends a different church each month with the Boys' Hi-Y. Some projects included having a rummage sale, hold- ing a bake sale, sending fruit to the Old Folks Home at Thanksgiving, sharing Christmas joy with Santa Pals, pre- senting an assembly program, contributing to the Virginia- Tennessee football program, selling concessions, and mak- ing a club scrap-book. Socially, the club held a Valentine dance, and an annual Christmas dance at a joint function with the Alpha Foundation. This year six members of the club attended the Tri- Hi-Y convention in Pulaski, Virginia. Virginia High's own Archer Boswell, an outstanding Hi-Y member, was elected president of the Tri-Hi-Y of District Three in the state. Under the leadership of Miss Virginia Anderson, the club chose Mary Lou Carter, President, Louise Rouse, Vice-President, Garland Osborne, Secretary, Sarah Neb- lett, Treasurer, Nancy Rice, Reporter and Ierry Kress, Sweetheart. j.25iuer5L!ea!

ZATICNS ollafin Membership in the Latin Club is open to any student taking Latin, and former Latin students who have com- pleted two years of the subject are charter members. A study of the Latin language and Roman history enriches our minds in many ways. First, the language is a basis for all of the Romance languages. A good Latin scholar can hardly be stumped on the meaning of an English word because ninety per cent of our language is of Latin derivation. From the Romans we get many prin- ciples of our government. Art, literature, and sculpture, as well as many ideas about which had a noted place in Rome. Pins signifying the club are Roman helmets with the name of the school and the year on them.

This small group was destined to become the seventh grade of Vir- ginia High School. At Hrst, we in this group felt very small among all the other students of the school, but we were soon to overcome this feeling. Our eighth grade year was a new experience for all of us. For the first time we were changing classes as the upper classmen did. This gave us the feeling that we were now a real part of the student body. Our Freshman year was a year of great experience for all of us. With Bill Gross as class president, and also junior S. C. A. president, we were ready to begin our high school career. For the first time we were allowed to choose some of the subjects which we wished to take. Though we were then taking different subjects, we still felt that our class was a big part of the school. Cur Sophomore year was the beginning of various school activities for many of us. With Toto Barker as our class president, we began to participate in many school functions. By now, some of us were in such organizations as the band, football team, basketball team, and many of the social clubs of the school. A few of us were even smart enough to make the Beta Club. Our Iunior year was placed before us with a great number of projects which we were expected to accomplish. The first of these was the junior play called 'fThanks, Honey. Our next projects were the magazine sales cam- paign and the Spring Festival. Both of these were highly successful. The last and most important event of our junior year was the junior-Senior Banquet. This is the annual banquet sponsored by the juniors in honor of the seniors. We all felt that it was a great success. Nancy Rice, as our class president, had faithfully led us through a long and difficult year. At last, the long awaited day arrived. We were now Seniors. As we slipped our class rings on our fingers, we felt very proud indeed, as this seemed to set us apart from any other class. VVith Phyllis Leonard as class president, we were to face a year of good times and great expecta- tions. Many wonderful things happened to us this year, but to try to list them all would be futile. lt is with a spirit of gratitude that we look back upon these wonder- ful things. Now we have come to the end of our high school career. Its years have been rich and full for all of us. As we look back over the past six years, we realize that they have netted us huge profits. We have learned many facts from many books, but the most important thing that we have learned is cooperation with one another. This is a fitting tribute to us, as well as to the educators of today. Bois MEEGAN, Class Historian Clflnelflleff The hour has come To say good-bye To our hallowed spot, Virginia High. We, the Senior Class Of '53, Virginia High, We adore thee. Your campus green We approached each day. ln your class rooms We learned what to say. For many years We have studied our best In learning how To face our tests. Page 76 Maiiy problems Are yet to come, When our studies here Are tried and done. But we can meet them With a smile, For you have taught us Things worthwhile. Now with sad hearts We hate to leave. As we say good-bye We are very grieved. Always to you Our thoughts will fly. Good-bye for now Dear Virginia High. CARL 'f1RIVE'1 I', Class Poet Q 2?

Basketball CITY CHAMPIONS 1952-53 For the Hrst time in ten years the city championship came to the Virginia High School Bearcats.

After those wonderful class rings arrived we could face anything. The football game we liked best was the annual William-Fleming game, after which the Alpha Founda- tion gave a dance honoring the boys. This month has been gaily decorated by the club initiations. The Key Club boys and Foundation girls really looked ridiculous in their various initiation dress. The students lucky enough to belong to the Beta Club enjoyed an outing at lXflonroe's this month and from what I hear they had a swell time. September was also the scene of the installation of the new S. C. A. officers here at V. II. S. lcrry Cassell was elected to head the organization. So long for now! Dear Diary: October has been rather lax as far as outings are con- cerned because of the cold weather but we have had our share of football games this month-Grundy, Saltville, Iohnson City, and Erwin. One of the greatest events of the school year took place this month. It was the annual band festival with V. H. S. and T. II. S. acting as hosts to the twenty-seven bands taking part in the festival. Our band received su- perior rating from all three judges, so we must have been pretty good. Closing this month was a party on Ilalloween night given by the Moose Club for the students. All clubs took part in making it a success by providing various kinds of entertaimnent. There was everything from cake walks to motion pictures. That's all for this month. Dear Diary: November was an eventful month. VVC learned many things- how to win, how to lose, and how to do both with good sportsmanship. Our greatest loss was the annual city football game. The Bearcats bowed to the Vikings. We were not to be outdone - three of our boys received positions on the All City Team and two received honor- able mention. After the game there were dances given by both schools to celebrate the game. At the V. H. S. dance Iackie Clover was crowned Mr Football. The Beta Club presented a talent show and you would be surprised at the amount of talent we have at V. Il. S. Come one - come all, hobos. that is, to the Physics Club Hobo Dance. This was the cry of the Physics Club members advertising the dance. King and Queen were Ierry Cassell and Celeste Dickson. Thanksgiving was another highlight of November, with the holidays and baskets for needy people supplied by various clubs. Dear Diary: December was really the month of anticipation. Only nineteen days until we get out for Christmas. Cvetting into the spirit of things, the lli-Y and Foun- dation Club had a gay and festive dance. The Kev Club boys tossed their hats in the ring and had their dance also. The real spirit of Christmas came when all the clubs visited their Santa Pals and bestowed all the wonderful gifts and friendship upon them. WVe weren't fortunate enough to have a white Christ- mas but we were to get our share of the white stuff later. Until 1953 - I leave you, Dear Diary. Page DIARY Dear Diary: Another year gone and a new one started. VVhat can the future hold? First of all Ianuary held exams for the students. Most of them came out alive but vowing to study the coming term. Ianuary was the scene of thc Band banquet held at llotcl Bristol. A few other clubs had dances scattered through the month, but. all in all, january was a month of study for us. VVC thought it would be best to get off to a good start. Dear Diary: As always February was a month of hearts and flow- ers - and plenty of things to do. The F. II. A. Club had a dance and if the girls are as good at home-making as they are at giving a dance- watch ont, boys! February l4-now what could that mean? Here's where the hearts and flowers come in. The F. B. L. A. I ii.,c 92 gave a Valentine tea for all the teachers. in an attempt to show the faculty that they are in our hearts. Many of the girls received lovely flowers, and beautiful valentines on this day. Evidently, cupid was around us all, shooting his arrows. Well, Diary, I believe this is about all for this month, so until - wait! I almost forgot something very important. The athletic banquet was held this month and did every- one have a time? I think you can guess! Dear Diary: This month was full of events! March came in like a lion with the beginning of the basketball tournament in District Seven. 'l'hc Bearcats fought to the quarter-finals but there they were defeated. Ioining forces to give an informal dance on Friday 13th, were the Boys' Hi-Y and the Cirls' Tri-I'Ii-Y clubs. Those attending had a swell time. Hflooray! It's finally here. These were the words of the seniors fortunate enough to be going on the trip to VVashington. It was a trip that will be remembered by all of them. Tired, but full of information, they returned home. The D. O. Club members also attended a convention at Natural Bridge. On March 24, Bristol observed B. I. 151. R. Day and school was closed to give our faculty a chance to visit the various places of employment. Ending this month was Y-Teen Carnival held in the gym. It was gaily decorated and all had fun. Dear Diary: Conventions! Trips! This seemed to be the cry of March and April. The Key Club sent representatives to the regional convention at Nashville, Tennessee. Members of the Beta Club went to Richmond, Vir- ginia, for a convention there. V. H. S. did not run any candidates for State offices. Need I say that they had a line time? Richmond was also the scene of the Tri-Hi-Y Con- vention. Naturally V. H. S. had representatives there also. 'fSuppressed Desires - What a play! This play was entered in the Play Festival at Charlottesville, Virginia, by students here at the school. They came back with su- perior rating.

The road was very dusty-in fact, everything was dusty as I wended Iny way into Iny usual retreat to think over the past and dream of the future. As I was thus walking, aimlessly, I stumbled over an old dusty ball, which then attracted my attention. I picked it up, and when I brushed away some of its accumulations, it began to change into a clear crystal. As I gazed intently it changed from clear to misty, and lo! - a stately gentleman was walking leisurely. His face seemed familiar-could it be TOMMY TIARDIN, President of the United States? Ah, I remember, he was the student day mayor in 'A53 . This inspired me to look more fixedly, and I saw a tall man with eagle eyes. Who else but BOB ALINIANY detecting some wrongdocr? Then I found myself gazing upon some distant lands. In India I saw the missionary team of PATSY KEESLING and SHIRLEY BARB, who said they had discovered a new race of Inen. When last seen Miss Keesling was swinging through the trees. Reporter RALPH WRIGHT is still trying to get the full story. In Germany I saw DEWEY BOWERS, IOIINNY BALI., and DOUG HARDIN as famous military gen- erals. I saw LESTER HODGE as a great naval officer, ALLEN LI'I'z has also shown a love for the blues. IIO! I found myself gazing upon Hollywood. It was good to behold CAROL WATTS and IOANN STUMP just leav- ing the Coconut Grove after making their fifth appearance. VIIRUDY HAWK had just made her debut at the Metropoli- tan. MARY JANE HARRIS is also a great singer and her fa- vorite song is All or Nothing at All , Qmeaning men of coursej. SIIIRLEY GRASHAINI, glamorous movie actress, an Oscar winner of last year, is seeking happiness with a third husband. ShiIley's motto always has been Ulf you don't at Hrst succeed, try, try again. As I moved OII to the larger cities, the class of USB was well represented. In New York SHIRLEY ROGERS will open her Paris Dress Shop in a few days. All the clothes are designed by IANIS COWAN. The salesladies are BILLIE IEAN TIILL and MARGARET BURROUGHS. BETTY RAY FULLER and BELVA IOIINSON are the glamorous models. I saw IIINI HONAKER making quite a name for himself in the public accounting business. His efficient secretary is MARY IANE DISHNER. III VVashington Times Square I heard Congressman IIAROLD WILSON Inake a speech. This world could use more Inen like Mr. Wilson. BARBARA DEANS has also been in Washington and after having been defeated on the Re- publican ticket for vice-president she returned home last night to husband Benny and the red-haired twins. 'l'he crystal changed again. This time it showed the University of Virginia. There I found Iny old classmates BOB HARRIS, IERRY CASSELL, and IOE MUMPOWER lwho are world famous surgeonsl, performing an operation on TDAVID IARRETT, who had the misfortune of being thrown down a staircase. Nurses aiding the slaughter were MARIE DAVIS, NANCY RICE, BETTY KING, BOBBIE MCGRAW, and SYLVIA FRANCIS. Then swiftly the scene shifted to old Virginia High. There I saw DON SMITH, the superintendent, and Mrs. Smith making many plans. Mrs. Smith is the former MARY Pag- ion LOU CARTER. And what was the occasion for the plans? A farewell party for R. D. DICKENSON. PHYLLIS LEONARD, senior English teacher, had finally passed him. BILL MORRELL, principal, was present for the celebration. Now V. H . S. is Inaking history in the world of sports. BILLY EADES and HTALL IIM BALTHIS are the new basket- ball coaches while BILLY EARP is in charge of football. They use a new system. They pick out a first team, seat its members on the bench, and start the substitutes. Former V. H. S. Amazon Girls, are making quite a name for themselves. Members of the team are KATHRYN BAKER, BARBARA FEATHERS, SHIRLEY LEE, and MARY IAYNE LEONARD. And now on to downtown Bristol. The pawn shop of IACK MOORE and NORMAN WHITE was entered late last night. Everything was missing from the store but the wall paper. Officer IIINI BORING said he suspects thievery: Iudge BOB DAVIS says he will give the maximum penalty. The Barter Theatre will give 'The Loves of Franken- stein at the Paramount next week. STOOKY CROCRETI' and DIANE FUNRHOUSER will take the leading roles. Others in the cast are JUNE SOUTH, PEGGY PRUE'IT, and IANE BONHAM. The owners of the Paramount, Mr. and Mrs. MELVIN CRANE, expect a full house. As you know, Mrs. Crane is the former VIRGINIA PROFFIT. They are expect- ing some competition from the Columbia, owned by RALPH CLARK, who is sponsoring the Three Aces and Black Spade. The Aces are CARL TRIVETT, IOE GOODMAN, and ED MORTON. The Black Spade, of course, is ARTIIUR MOON MULLINS. Several new establishments have been erected in Bris- tol by members of the class of 'A53 . SYLVESTER BLEVINS is the prosperous owner of the new skating rink. Mr. and Mrs. IOHNNY WORRELL are doing great in their Euclid Avenue Service Station. Mrs. Worrell is the former BETTY WALDEN. The White Laundry will open in a few days. It is owned by PAT and DOT. ROMONA TROBERTS will be their business Inanager. BOB MEEGAN, famous lawyer, is defending LARRY HYSLER in a world interest case. Larry is accused by IIIXIINIY WILLIAMS of being a home breaker. VANN THOMAS and SILAS VAN TTOY are presidents of the local colleges, Sullins and V. I., respectively. They started training for their positions in early high school. IIMMY GOODE is also interested in the education of girls. He is affiliated with Sullins. Misses BETTY Io BRADY, CHARLENE SNODGRASS, PEGGY SUTTON, NAOMI BOOHER, and MARY RICHARDS have made the semi-finals in the national typing contest. The winner is to be awarded a medal by President of the Fat Man's Club, WOODY KENT. Mrs. DOUGLAS KEESEE, formerly Miss EINIIXIA IEAN LEONARD, will entertain tomorrow for tlIe newly elected members of the D. A. R., PEGGY LINNEN and IANE PARRISH. IOAN BOUTON is private secretary to IAINIES GARRETT, Governor of Virginia. QCOntinued on Page l3Zl if, Q 3 - Q S M,, 'A 3' W Xw W W Elm X A :J f - - W x , f ik iff ..,,W,...

That's what most of the girls who were at the Y-Teen spring dance heard all eve- ning. Naturally, they obliged thc boys by saying A'Yes. Dear Diary: The end of school is nearing and we seniors thought we would be happy to sec the month arrive, but we're feeling kind of strange now that it's here. The juniors are feeling rather anxious since they will be the seniors next year - class rings and all. May was Hlled with many outings and dances. The best dance of all for the juniors and seniors was the junior - Senior Banquet. Oh! It was simply glorious. It's a night we'll never forget. For the seniors, May 31 was a Sunday of remem- brance also. It was Baccalaureate Sunday and we were dressed in the traditional robes. Dear Diary: This will be my last entry for some time. There were only eight days of this month spent at V. H. S. For most of thc seniors there were only six days spent here. You might call Iune thc month of the Seniors be- cause they are really the ones who have the most to do in the very last days of school. After exams were over we hardly had time to think about much of anything - except the coming graduation of our seniors. Running through the minds of the seniors were thoughts of graduation and what next. A grand and glorious time was had by all on the senior outing at Hungry Mother Park. You would be sur- prised at the amount of food they ate! Class night and all was well. A night filled with sur- prises for all. Honor upon honor was bestowed upon worthy seniors that night. The class song, the prophecy, the history-all of these were a part of the night. Practice-Practice for Commencement night and then Commencement itself. It was truly a night of re- joicing and sorrow. Each of us had reached a milestone along the highway of education -maybe all of us were not graduating but we reached a higher bracket in the Held of education. School hasn't been all reading, writing, and arith- metic. It has been a combination of all sorts of things - social as well as educational. We all leave V. H. S. with memories and friendships, cherishing both, and hoping to return to these familiar halls some day. Some will be back next year - some will not-and to those who will not we say ufarewell and remember these days and us always. Dear Diary: Much as I hate to do it -I must close for now and end a wonderful year. So long.

Man- made Hbers, new products of the chemist's test-tube, have been a major contributor to this textile progress. A small textile producer in 1923, Burlington Mills believed in the Y , future of rayon-an early man-made fiber. In the past 28 years Burlington IX, l has become a leader in the development and production of beautiful, durable I X E and high-quality filament, spun and knit synthetic fabrics. From one plant I with approximately 200 employees, our Company has grown to include 73 II' w . . . . . . , - manufacturing plants in 43 communities of eight states and four foreign 'W ' - ' if 34000 IBl't 'td th Iwi n 'rf .lf N K Z X K countries.
