Caroline is so dainty and at- tractive that when we think of the perfectly dressed girl we think of her. mmmammmmmmmmmmmmm CLASS HISTORY History repeats itself , so says a well-known oft-quoted adage; so do not be surprised if our history happens to be in some respects much like a great many other- class chronicles that have been written,, There is still enough difference to give us a personality of our own. Pour years ago on the first Monday in September, 1933, the Class of 1937 assem- bled; some were so enthusiastic that they could not wait for the bell to ring for Assembly. That their enthusiasm did not cool under their preliminary trial is shown by the fact that some of these early ones are with us today. We entered the building with the proper amount of freshmen humility; our hearts thrilled v ith the pleasure of speaking to a senior, while the mere mention of geometry and Latin sent our respect soar- ing to the loftiest heights. Of course the spell has long since been broken; the trials and tribulations of these subjects, combined with the problems of chemistry, history and algebra, have had their disillusioning effect. On September eighth we organized as a class. Lillian Lundy was chosen president out of the large number of forty-four. Af- ter months of study our eyes were turned toward graduation; but many, with one con- sent, began to make excuses. The first said, f, I am poor in health; therefore, I cannot go on to graduation. Another said, I must needs toil at home; therefore, I cannot con- tinue further. Another said, I am dull and cannot learn. I pray thee have me ex- cused, And still another said, I am going Class History - Continued to be married, and therefore I cannot grad- uate.” So thus did our number decrease un- til the whole number at the end of the first year was thirty-two. In the fall of 1934 the Class of 1937 assembled again at Wallace High School We were no longer the impatient freshmen of the year before but the eager sophomores pressing on to graduation. While we were being assembled in our room there came a knock at our door and there stood Ernestine Hawthorne and four other boys and girls beg- ging us to let them join our class. We opened our hearts and took them in. They made our number thirty- three , of inhich Ro- bert Vaught was chosen president. The bas- ket ball games bet ween the classes were marked events that year, and the sophomore party was enjoyed with equal fervor and, if possible, mo re, as the classmates were now well acquainted with each other and had become firmly bound together by the victor- ies and defeats, studies and pleasures, of the preceeding year. We left our sophomore year with heavy hearts because our beloved teachers, Mr. Smith and Miss Rhea Lester, would not be back the next fall to teach us in our junior year. The only confort we had was that Miss Stafford and Mr. Parmer would be there to greet us. When we returned to school in the fall of 1935, our hearts were soon relieved of their burden because we found we had just as capable teachers as in the years past. Sixteen of the former class enrolled, and with the addition of Caroline Whitten, who Class History - Continued joined our class from Virginia High, there were seventeen, Lillian Lundy was again chosen president, with Ernestine Hawthorne, Secretary. Our junior year was one of study and meditation as our records of that time bear witness. The great problems of our lives, in the shape of Chemistry experiments and the thoughts of mighty essayists, em- ployed the time formerly devoted to sports. Our junior play was a great success. The most enjoyable social event given last year was the junior- senior banquet in compliment to the graduating class of 1936. They read- ily admitted that we surprised them in the excellence of our entertainment, and that we did them, as well as ourselves, honor A kindred spirit had grown up between the two classes since our rivalry as sophomores and freshmen, and it was with downcast spirits that wo watched them depart at the commencement season and leave us behind to step into their places as leaders of the school «. And now we have come to the portal leading out into life. This last year in our high school has been one of combined study and pleasure. We have grown somewhat beyond the grind of the junior year into the larger freedom of the senior. We have had many good times in our last year. The senior play was a great success. The an- nual, which we are proud to offer as the first attempt of its kind at Wallace, is among our best achievements. Now come the breaking up and final separation of the class of 1937, with only thirteen members, Wanda Price having joined our class from Virginia High School in the fall. We el- ected Ernestine Hawthorne president and Hazel Simcox Secretary . Class History - Concluded Richard Smith is the only member of our class attending Wallace from the first grade all the way through high school, others having joined the clas s year by year from other schools. Part of the juniors last year departed from us for the same reasons that others did so when we were freshmen and sophomores. The lessons which we have learned in our intercourse with each other will never be forgotten, and may wo all endeavor to follow through life, as we have through our school course, our motto, Semper para tus . Ida Vaught ' CLASS PROPHECY One day when we had finished reading ’’The Tragedy of Macbeth”, I came into the classroom and saw a figure which appeared to be the leading character of the play, Macbeth himself. At first I was frightened and started to run because I thought I was seeing his ghost. But when he spoke, my fears were gone because I knew no ghost could speak. He told me that if I wanted to see something miraculous happen to fol- low him. I went with him to Norfolk where we started across the ocean. I asked him why we didn’t go across on a ship, but he said only that there was no use in paying a fare when we could walk- -that would be the Scotchman for youl I kept asking him where we were going and what we would see, but he would only say, Wait.” After what seemed to me to be a very short time we arrived at Liverpool, England. We d idn’t stay in Liverpool very long; so I can’t tell very much about the city. From there we went directly to London, where we remained for a short period of time. Here we visited the court of King James and I began to realize that I had gone back in time to the days of Shakespeare. All this time I was wondering where we were going; but since Macbeth had refused to tell mebefore, I did not dare ask any more questions . Wo took a train to Edinburgh. Upon reaching there, Macbeth seemed not to want to tarry; so we hurric-cl on through the city, and, as in Liverpool, I did not learn much about Edinburgh. I then followed Macbeth into the open country. : W , 5 |f .p ' Class Prophecy - Continued We were soon on a barren heath which seemed to have a mysterious look about it. I was wondering what kind of a country this really was when I was suddenly brought to my senses by a clap of thunder and a flash of lightning which made me almost scream; but Macbeth said, ”Fcar not.” As I looked into the distance, I saw a very high cliff under which yawned a large cave. This seemed to be the spot toward which Macbeth was leading me. We soon reached the cave whore, upon entering, we saw three female figures in tattered garments. Macbeth hailed, them in a way that was very surprising to me. I soon de- cided that they were witches, and, when Macbeth told me I could ask them anything I wished and they would grant it, my sus- picion became a certainty. They were hud- dled together around a boiling kettle from which all sorts of apparitions were aris- ing. I was frightened almost too much to speak, but since I was there I thought I might as well do as Macbeth had told me and asked the witches some questions. Surely the effort couldn t be any worse than my standing there in silence. Since our sen- ior class of 1937 was on my mind more than anything else, I decided to ask them, the future of my fellow classmates. Suddenly I heard a voice, a v itch ' s voice, which said, You wish to know the future of your fellow classmates?” I an- swered, Yes.” The voice continued, ”lt is not well to seek to know the future; to know the future is given to few, but you are one of the favored few. The witches stirred the broth in the boiling kettle and murmared words which Class Prophecy - Continued meant nothing at all to me but sounded suf- ficiently v oird to make anything happen® Suddenly new apparitions began rising from the kettle. Breathlessly I awaited. In a moment I saw a change. I seemed to be looking in- to a hospital. Among the nurses who were alleviating suffering there was one xvho seemed very familiar. All the years had not changed her; she was still the same happy Alpha Holt, fulfilling the report known perhaps only to a few in the third year of college life. The apparition faded, I saw a large, quiet study. In it sat a lovely woman, As she turned I saw the beautiful Miss Wanda Price, who had entered upon her poetic car- eer as our class poet. Several volumes of her poems lay on her desk, and she was pre- paring another. Again the scene changed. An orthodox Protestant Church next caught my attention. Would you believe that in the pulpit stood Mr. Robert Vaught? I could have imagined his delivering a lecture on Hot Air or sounding the praises of Omega Oil much more easily than his expounding the gospel. Next I saw the University of Oxford. The library was the room which appealed most to mo, because among all those books whom do you suppose I saw? It was none other than Miss Lillian Lundy, who had at last reached her desired goal and seemed very happy among all those books. Class Prophecy - Continued Them came a beautiful reception room filled with talented and attractive people. The hostess was Miss Helen Kill, society leader; to bo invited to her social func- tions was considered a great honor. She looked beautiful this evening and seemed very happy. Then appeared a doctor’s office. Whom should I sec but Fiss Clotus Nestor? Don’t misunderstand mc--I do not mean she was a doctor, but that a doctor had con- quered her fears so completely that she was no longer known as Hiss Cletus Nestor but as the doctor’s wife. Next a store window glimmered, before my eyes. A largo plackard announced a dem- onstration of a safety hat retainer. In the store was Fr. Preston Hawthorne, originator of the invention by moans of which men wore sure to find their hats wherever they left them. Mr. Hawthorne was selling them as fast as ho could hand them out. No doubt he had profited by his experience with the mechanical engineering students in Kentucky. A large and attractive building next caught my attention. On the lawn sat Miss Annabel Hopkins. She was now matron of an orphan’s home and was surrounded by a host of children whom she seemed to love and adore . Next came a great contrast. It was in the darkest part of Africa, and whom should I see but Miss Ernestine Hawthorne, who was the former president of our senior class? Miss Hawthorne was in Africa as a missionary among the black, uneducated savages. She seemed to bo very sincere and earnest in her desire and willingness to serve. Class Prophecy - Concluded The next apparition was that showing Mr. Richard Smith, who was formerly our star basketball player but who appeared not to bo Interested in basket ball any more. Ho was one of the most famous actors of Hollywood; his name had been seen in bright lights more than once. Through all those years he had never lost his ability to at- tract the ladies. Next was a large concert hall where the attraction was a distinguished pianist, Miss Ida Vaught, just returned from a European concert tour. Another apparition revealed Miss Vaught as a noted singer, es- pecially fine In Scotch songs. Her favorite song was The Campbells are Coming . The last apparition showed a gondola floating on the canals of Venice. In it were Miss Caroline Uhitten and her husband, the American Ambassador to Italy. Now came a voice, the v itch’s voice, saying, Sock no longer to look into the future; the thread of prophecy has come to an end. Had I been asleep? Had I been dream- ing? I found myself In my own room, the clock striking one, sheets of manuscript on the table and floor. I had started to write my prophecy but my dream had brought to me a much more thrilling future for my classmates than I could over have Imagined for them. Hazel Simcox Contrary to all precedent the Senior Class of 1937 decided to make public its own will before retiring from active life. We do not wish you to anticipate grief but think there will be much less mourning when you know that we quite cheerfully, or at least philosophically, heard the learned say that on the 22nd of April the class must die. As this is the inevitable lot of all classes, we have made fitting prep- aration, executing for the consolation of friends the following will: STATE OF VIRGINIA ) ) to wit: COUNTY OF WASHINGTON ) On Thursday, that is to say, the 22nd day of April in the year nineteen hundred thirty- seven, we, the Senior Class of Wal- lace High School, being in good and sound mind, make our testament in the manner that followeth hereafter: FIRST, That the Principal be the sole ex- ecutor, and no bonds exacted.

To the faculty as a whole we give our sincere thanks for their earnest efforts in our behalf and the loyalty of all persons whom we can influence. The foregoing is the legal will of the Senior Class of 1937, and we do solemnly de- clare that we published and executed this will in the presence of three lawful witnes- ses. In witness whereof we hereunto set our hands and seals this the 22nd day of April, in the year of our Lord, 1937.

The first victims of the Wallace boys were the Fen- dota High School boys. This score v as 29- 14 in favor of Wallace. The next opponents were the Cleveland boys, with a score of 30-15 in favor of Wallace. The next day Wallace encountered the strong Damascus team. A hard battle was fought, ending in a score of 19-16 in fav- or of Wallace. The final game to deter- mine the winner of the trophy was played against Greendale, Again Wallace played a hard game and won a 26-21 decision from Greendale o In the girls’ opening game they en- countered the Bethel sextet. This seemed a certain victory for the opponents until after the first half. Then the tide turned and Wallace claimed a 23-10 deci- sion. The final game for that day was against Greendale. This score was 31-16 in favor of Wallace. The next day the girls lost to Damascus with a score of 14-13. Although they lost, we are proud of them for the fine work they did and their determination to fight to the final whistle. THE DISTRICT BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT Washington County was represented by Wallace in the District Tournament held at Emory and Henry College on December 4th and 5th. The winner of this tourna- ment has the privilege of representing our district in the State tournament, which is held at the University of Virginia. Our team made a splendid showing in the first two games, defeating Dante by the score of 25-16. Wallace played Plat Gap in the finals, the score being 18 to 14 against us. This defeat did not prove to be a serious blot on our record, how- ever, since Flat Gap had little trouble in taking the State Championship at Charlotts- ville . COUNTY TRACK FEET Wallace High School placed fourth in the county track meet at Emory and Henry College, April 16, 1936. Individual hon- ors went to Zeffic Smith, who came first in the girls’ one-hundred yard dash, se- cond in the basketball throw, and third in the baseball throw, Winfreid Miller came second in the one-hundred yard dash. Joe Swift came third in the boys’ four-hundred- forty yard dash. In the girls ' quarter- mile relay Wallace came second, and third In the half-mile relay for boys. VOLLEY BALL The girls’ volley ball teams were organized early in the fall with Jane Ad- dison and Ruby Branson Captains of the two teams. These teams had four practice per- iods a week in which they engaged in con- tests. Real fun was enjoyed by the teams as they improved more and more in the sport.

The county schools are divided into groups of four or five. Meetings are held each month at which topics of educational value are discussed from several different phases. Wallace has been represented at every forum. Sexton Grayson spoke on public welfare at the first meeting. Mary Jane Bonham discussed paroles and probations in criminal reforms, at Green- dale. Wallace had the group of young people as guests at the third meeting, and Margaret Talley was the speaker on truth as a safeguard to peace. Sexton Grayson was the Wallace representative speaking on the Constitution, and Bernice Minor discussed the aid of the county and state governments to education. BANQUET Following the play, Cheerio, My Deario , the Junior Class presented to the Seniors a lovely banquet. A large attendance proved that both Juniors and Seniors had a loyal school spirit. It was one of the most enjoyable features of the year and teachers as well as stu- dents enjoyed the evening of friendship together . PLAYS Melvina’s Courtship , presented by the Senior Class of Wallace, was a great 1 ■ ■ Plays - Concluded success. The play was very much enjoyed hy everyone present. The Junior Class proved its ability to act in Cheerio, my Dcario , a three act comedy. This play was one of the best of the year and the public enjoyed the entertainment. The commencement play, with actors from all sections of the high school, de- serves credit as being a wonderful achieve- ment. It added much to the success of the programs during commencement week . LITERARY CONTEST The members of the high school who are interested in literary work have shown much talent in preparing for the Washington County Literary Contests, which are held each spring. In 1936 Viral- lace won much recognition, being second among the high schools of the country. The cup for spelling was awarded to Lil- lian Lundy, and Lorraine Kindead, L. J. Hutton, and Sexton Grayson won second place in girl ' s recitation, boy ' s decla- mation, and girl ' s public speaking, res- v pectively. Through the influences of the Junior Forum and the improved Liter- ary Societies more interest is being shown, and Wallace is working to attain first place at the Literary Contest in 1937. ' GLEE CLUB Under the direction of Miss Stafford a very fine Glee Club has been organized. The club gives programs for special oc- casions, one of the best being the sing- ing of Christmas Carols. In 1936 the Wal- lace Club won second place among the high schools of Washington County, a fact which we hope has opened the way for the attainment of first place in 1937. 4-H CLUB The desire of Wallace girls to have home economics has been realized to some extend by the organization of a 4-H Club. Miss Getha Jackson, the home demonstra- tion agent of Washington County, met with the high school girls on November 5, 1936, and organized the club. The girls enjoy working with each other, and the club is progressing rapidly under the able leader- ship of Miss Jackson and Mrs. Homer Lo- Sueur, her assistant. Each girl has a 4-H Club book which she made, and each is going to make a dress and to complete one pro j ect . There should be a 4-H Club in every school because it is beneficial to the school and the girls in future life. The officers and their respective offices are as follows: Mary Jane Bonham - President Lillian Lundy - Vice-President Ernestine Hawthorne - Secretary- Treasurer Eva Clendenen - Song Leader Caroline Whitten - Reporter Elsie Cole, Christine Smith and Sexton Grayson - Program Committee Ann Taylor, Lorraine Jones, Margaret Talley - Finance Committee One of the most important organiza- tions in the high school is the Junior League. The meetings are held monthly at which educational programs are given. Everyone is working to make the Wallace Junior League a banner league as soon as possible.

Miss Stafford is sponsor of both groups, and each Friday programs are given, one society entertaining one week and the other the next. Officers are el- ected at the beginning of each semester. The Literary Societies are showing marked improvement, and the benefits derived from the programs are being re- vealed in the Junior Forum and other ex- tra curricular work.
