J WILLIAM FLEMING HIGH SCHOOL ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA I As a mark of appreciation for the many things that he has done for our boys and girls, for his calm eHiciency, which has taught us the value of doing things Well, for his discerning thoughtfulness, which has taught us the beauty of an unselfish spirit, and for his long term of patient service to the cause of education in the United States, the State of Virginia, and Roanoke County, We humbly olfer this sincere expression of the love and high regard that We have for him. We feel it a great privilege to have him with us so that we may dedicate this, The Second Volume of the COLONEL, to our own Superintendent Roland E. Cook VVILLIAM FLEMING HIGH SCI-IOOL ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA William Fleming High School ln 1933, William Fleming High School opened its doors to its first faculty and pupils. There was an enrollment of one hundred sixty-eight pupils and five teachers. It was during this year that we had our first Parent-Teacher organization, and basket ball teams for both boys and girls. In 1934, the doors were opened for the second term, to an enrollment of two hundred thirty-six pupils and seven teachers. During this year we had our first graduation class, our first football team, our first annual Ca mimeographed copy of Tm-: BEEHIVEHJ, and our first school lunches were sold during this year. It was during this year that we were put on the list of accredited high schools. 1935 found an enrollment of two hundred eighty pupils and nine teachers present at the begin- ning of the school term. It was this year that our Parent-Teacher organization, our athletic teams, and other school organizations began to make real progress. We had our first printed annual during this year. In 1936, we found three hundred three pupils with fourteen teachers present on the first day of school. It was at this time that we had opened for our use ten new rooms, as well as the vocational training courses. It was during this year that our band was organized, and the name of the annual was changed from THE B1:E111vE to THE COLONEL.7, This, our present year, and our biggest year of all, finds us with many visible expressions of progress. We have the largest graduating class in the history of the school, are printing the largest annual, have the largest enrollment, and the largest number of teachers ever. For the first time, we have a real cafeteria. Our band, athletic teams, and all school organizations are really showing the rest of the schools of the county and state that we, William Fleming High School, are really doing things-and doing them in a big way. +2f6l5+ WILLIAM FLEMING HIGH SCHOOL T 6 ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA ,mas w mm it-.Lf s R. 'Douglas Nininger Mr. Nininger, who has won the admiration of our student body and faculty through his patient and understanding Ways, has been the principal of our school since it was first built. Mr. Nininger, a graduate of Bridgewater College, not only occupies the position of principal, but also teaches one class each term. A definite step in the progress of the school has been obvious during each of the five successive years that he has been principal. Under his splendid leadership and ability, we can expect even greater accomplishments for our school in the future years. -1:47159 VVILLIAM FLIZMINGIIIGII SCHOOL ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA STUART P.

I THE SENIOR CLASS -:SEQ R+ WILLIAM FLISMINC IIIGH SCHOOL ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA p ww M 5 A CHALLENGE TO LIVE, GROW AND SERVE Only one person out of thirty really serves his fellow men. The remaining twenty-nine are engaged in a self- centered existence which consumes rather than creates. The rank and file of mankind is too busy grasping and using the creations of the hands and minds of others. Somewhere in every community there must arise the men and women who will serve the good of all. The Thirtieth Man will, there- fore, give his life and interest to growth and service. He will prepare himself to lead and to follow. He will prevent accident, conserve health and morals, and create beauty. He will protect the weak and curb the arrogant. He will be doctor, minister, teacher, judge, mayor and builder. He will be concerned with the welfare of his generation and of those to come. The thirtieth man must be found. The educated men and women who set as their aim to live, grow, and serve will automatically become that important one in thirty. in . r. . .env- WILLIAM FLEMINC IIICH SCHOOL ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA The Cafeteria It would be rather foolish to say anything except that this is about the most important part of our school. With Mrs. Taylor, an experienced person, as manager of the cafeteria, we have enjoyed most delicious as Well as most nourishing meals during this school term. The above scene is not unusual, but is a typical picture of the daily lunch period at William Fleming. We are indeed fortunate in having Mrs. Taylor with us and we hope that she is here indeinitely to plan for us such delightful meals. -:El 11 l-3+ 1 iaii W h WILLIAM FLEMING HIGH SCHOOL ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA 5:51-42s2.2g:g E5E-'-.- -.EF-3 M T M ,., safe-M 'Q ' Q 'E I- , i fi -:Eff 1' 2' T - .

It is a long and tedious process, which starts out by a few courageous and industrious people making up their minds to have an annual. Rest assured that this is no easy task, for as is always the case, these few people are the ones who have hundreds of other things to do in school. After this decision is made, we have the job of raising money to pay for an annual. This we do, to a great extent, by soliciting advertisements. Most any of you who have ever begged for anything, and most of you have, know what a job this is. 'IfVe usually begin this work in October and finish in February. When we've raised all the money that we can, and have a fair idea of how much we can pay for an annual, then We decide what we can put into it, and immediately set to work on it. There are many questions that arise, such as dedi- cation, poems, representation and where we are going to put what in our year book. After all contributions and reports have been collected, typed, and put in the annual dummy, we then have to read over all of this, read and reread, in order to find all mistakes, before sending it to the printer. No, the work is not nearly complete yet. When the annual comes from the printer, we immediately take several copies out to our advertisers and collect for the ads. At school, during this time, we are placing the subscription blanks which have been previously turned in, inside the books, in order that we may present to our subscribers THE COLONEL, to which they have so generously subscribed. A bit of Fleming Jpirit, fl glimpre of Fleming Iliff, fl book of Fleming memorier. All of these have been our aim in compiling material for this issue of THE COLONEL. It is our sincere hope that as you pause somewhere and sometime in later life to review these pages, that you may derive pleasures untold from the memories which they recall, and that from this review you may gain inspiration to take a new hold on whatever task is yours. -True 1938 COLONEL STAFF -23 15 E+ WILLIAM Ftsmmo mol-erscuoor.

BE SENIOR CLASSJ It was on one of those long and tedious -lune days in 1948 and I felt the need for relaxation. I had heard that one of the Fleming graduates of '38 was singing at The Nut Shop. a new ritzy night club, and for the want of something better to do, I thought I would give her and the joint, I beg your pardon, I mean dump, the once over. I had to walk because of a taxi strike, needless to say, this strike was brought about by those great labor leaders, Fred Lemon and Odell Biggs. While standing on a corner waiting for a light to change, I started to smoke a cigarette. After searching the pockets of my suit, made by that exclusive men's tailor, Ernest Hylton, I found that I had no matches. I asked a man who happened along for a match and he gave me a package of Hsafetiesf' I later recognized this man as the notable football coach, Harry Johnston. Idly looking at the matches I had just received, I noticed that they were made by Trout and Sarver, Manufacturers, and the match cover was adorned by pictures painted by the artist who was causing quite a commotion in the local art circles, Sybil Obenchain. Resuming my quest for entertainment, I started to cross the street and was hailed by Officer Morris Walters. I had no more than cleared my mind of that dark blot when I was beset by a beggar named Neilson Henry, whom I understand was quite wealthy until he invested in the brokerage house of Grover Cleveland Dudley. Dudley, in turn, was acting on the advice of those two hnancial genuises, Chitwood and Archer. Without further ado, I reached The Nut Shop, owned and operated by James Spenser and his lovely wife, formerly Kathaleen WVillard. The two hat-check girls, Edna Nichols and Louise Thomas, were busy but at the thought of a tip, were quite willing to take my hat without delay. It was then that I was shown to my table by a Waitress, Bobbie Hetherington, who kept watching the head waitress, Edna Meador, as if she were expecting a reproach. She handed me a menu, which stated that all foods were prepared under the care of those two famous dieticians, the Finch twins. I was just in time to see the last of a fan dance by Elizabeth Little, whose stage name is Sally Band. This was followed by the Stonetts, a fast-stepping chorus, composed of such beauties as Margaret Cummings, Mary Cooke, Eunice Crouch, Helen Fink, Frances Hackett, Lois Hamblin, and Marie Hewitt. They danced to that orchestra, which was such a swing sensation, led by Dreamy Eyes Boyer. This same orchestra played a special number for a second-rate hoofing team called Ping and Pong, better known as Doris Lemon and Thomas Humphreys. Blues singer, Virginia Swann, swung out on Papa, Mania, and the Three Kids. During a short intermission, I had a chance to glance around and see what celebrities were there. The first I noticed were those romantic love-birds, Lewis Stone and Myrtle Saunders, both successful Shakespearean actors. Every one knew of their romance because they were mentioned by Columnist Mildred jones, in her Queen of Snoopersn column. This column was run daily in all the Lugar newspapers throughout the nation. Sitting at a ringside table peeling a grape was Calvin Peck, the banker, and the sports commentator, Harold Oxley. A quiet and subdued group over in one corner had school teacher written all over them. At this table some of the cards were marked Miss Anna Doss, Miss Betty Hardie, Miss Dorothea Key, Miss hlaxine Overacre, and Miss Frances Brown. Secretary of State Clarence Caldwell was there with his secretary, Elizabeth Silcox. Mary Holland, the Ten Cent Store Heiress, who married her boss, was there'-looking very chic in a silver fox wrap, designed by the talented Lillian Porter. Edwardo Meadoro fEd Meador to' youj of the Metro- politan Opera was there with a chorus member of the same company, Bonnie Amos. Last, but far from least, Beatrice Moore, queen of the screen, was there nibbling a bean. I was beginning to be as bored as you are now when Doug Kidd, the master of ceremonies, stated that there would be no more show that night because of an accident caused by Carlyle Eaton, the janitor, back Stage. He said that we would have to wait to hear Suzy Q. Snodgrass sing. Now isn't that life for you! I endured all that just to see a familiar Fleming face and to be told that I couldn't hear my schoolmate sing on account of an accident by a local yokel. VVell, better luck next time with both your story and your prophecy.

' WILLIAM FLEMING HIGH SCHOOL ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA Senior Class History The curtain falls, the last act is over, and our high school days are drawing to a close. W'e leave with you the events of our happy years at William Fleming High School. In the autumn of '34, fifty-three pupils entered William Fleming High School as freshmen. It was easy to recognize them as freshmen, although there was something different about this class. On close examination one could sec that they had an almost intelligent look, which is most unusual for freshmen. We chose Lewin Lugar for our president and Miss Taylor for our sponsor. We managed to survive that year safe, sound, and we felt sane, or at least more so than most freshmen. When we came back to school for our second year of high school training, we found, on second count, that we were lacking seven of our fellow students. Again, we chose Lewin Lugar as our president, and this year we chose Mr. hlarmon as our sponsor. Nothing of unusual note happened this year. - Then came the eventful Junior year. How happy we were to occupy the seats which had been vacated by the juniors of ,37l We elected for our officers: Lewin Lugar, presidentg Margaret Cum- mings, vice president, Edward Meador, secretary, and Eunice Crouch, treasurer. Our play, The Scarecrow Creeps, under the excellent direction of Mrs. Powell, our sponsor, was a big success in our junior year. Another outstanding event of this year was the Junior-Senior banquet. Both the juniors and seniors reported that this was by far the nicest event of its kind that had ever been given at our high school. j Before we realized it, we were seniors. Clarence Caldwell was chosen as our president with Mrs. Powell as our sponsor for the second consecutive time. Assisting officers of this class have been Lewin Lugar, james Chitwood, and Mary Holland. After our class was organized, we set to work on what we hope to be the best issue of THE COLONEL. Clarence Caldwell was chosen as editor- in-chief, with many of our well-known and capable classmates as his assistants. As a class we feel that we are rnost outstanding in athletics. We feel that our class has done much to help the teams win the county championship title. This year has been a crowded one and one which we have enjoyed. Graduation is upon us and we hope that we are ready for it. We can boast of the fact that we are the largest class to graduate from William Fleming High School. We have worked to make the memory of this class an honored one and we sincerely hope that we may leave it with you thus. CO9 Senior Poem We are leaving our .rrlwol dayf behind, .vo what!

One was the sponsoring of the First dance ever given at school. Among others was the framing of athletic squad pictures and hanging them in Mr. Brewbaker's room. Another was the keeping of a sports scrap book which contained the pictures of all the captains of football, basket ball and baseball, along with newspaper clippings and write-ups of all the games. A continuation of this Work will be carried on until the scrap book will be completely filled up. So far, tl1is year has been the best yet for the Monogram Club. ' sEl 4.3 22+ Q! sf.

'5l44flff+ WILLIAM FLISMING HIGH SCHOOL ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA The Band The William Fleming Band was started in I936 with fifteen candidates. Both lVIr. Christensen and Mr. Bobbit made talks in the assembly, in which they explained the advantages and values to be derived from band training. Shortly after this, plans were made by the pupils of the school to raise funds for the purchase of a bass horn. ' Work progresstd very nicely with two lessons per week. The band entertained the entire student body with an assembly program during its lirst year of training. In the fall of 1937, the band member came in with the same number as they had the first year. Being better trained, they began to play at our football games. They have played at a majority of the home football and basket ball games this year. As a school, we appreciate our band, and the sound of their music thrills the heart of every loyal Fleming student. The members of the band are: CALDWELL, PAUL DILLON, -IOIIN ENGRESSIA, Josrsrn ENGRESSIA, MARY HILI., JANE HILL, Lou ALICE MEADOR, EDWARD MooRE, THOMAS PARKER, DOROTIIY PAYNE, ELMO PAYNE, JUANITA QUINN, EDWARD SHEETS, GARLAND MR.

I ' ACTIVITIES We got a late start this year in organizing our Club, due to the working out of the activity schedule. Our meetings are held once a month, and so far, much of the time has been spent working out the organization and the constitution. During the basket ball games at William Fleming the Club boys helped sell refreshments for ' the benefit of the home economics department. We expect to do much more next year in the Club, ' since we are now well organized.

' Although several members were lost due to other clubs, the Camera Club had developed into One of the largest and most active clubs of William Fleming. The primary purpose of this organiza- tion has been to help the students learn to take better photographs and how to develop and print these, Enough dues have been collected to purchase a developing and printing set for a dark room and Roy Beclcner has made much Of the equipment. The Camera Club agreed to take candid slIots of the Juniors. Many of these photographs have been used in the annual.

The Otters outweighed the Colonels about I0-IS pounds per man. The Colonels had four men in action for the first time. The boys returning to the team from last year's squad were Spencer, Johnston CCaptainD, Lucas, Oxley, Meador, Peck, McGrady, Stone and Sarver. Those making the team for the first time were Updike, Young, Mabes and Hylton. Fleming Team in Action Against Radford The first home game of the season, with Radford High as our opponent, brought out a large and colorful crowd on October 2 to cheer for the teams. Fleming scored late in the second quarter on a long pass from Spencer to Mabes, who crossed the ' goal line standing up. Young con- verted the extra point from place- ment, making the score at the half 7-6 in Fleming's favor. Neither team scored in the third quarter, but late in the final period Radford coun- tered twice, but could make only Joi-msron, End Captain Harry work: hard and is a great lead- er on the yield.

William Fleming vs. Byrd The Fleming eleven was outstand- ing in the first half of this game with our staunch rivals from Vinton. The long end runs of james Spencer took the ball deep into Byrd territory. By excellent pass work, the Colonels moved up to the Byrd 22-yard line, but lost their first scoring chance due to a I 5-yard penalty. Both teams battled on even terms in the second and third quarters with no score, but in the fourth period Byrd made the only score of the day on a line smash by their back field ace, Shirley Crow- der. They were not able to make the point after touchdown, however, and the game ended 6-0, Byrd's favor. Fleming 7, Galax 0 Home-Coming Day, October 16, stimulated by a parade throughout the High School section, brought out one of the largest crowds ever to see a Fleming team play. And the team really lived up to the occasion. Frank Young, who was shifted from the line to the back field, reeled off left guard in the second quarter for the lone touchdown of the game. He also place-kicked the extra point. His scoring was made possible by a long pass from Spencer to Lucas and thence to the Galax 20-yard line. In this hard-fought game, the' Colonels showed their best form so far in the season. As this victory marked the first Home-Coming Day ever held at Wil- liam Fleming, we know that teams in the future will also bring glory to our school as this one did. .i.iQm...m Fleming Loses to Wytlleville ln a sea of heavy mud, the Colonels lost to a heavy Wytheville eleven at VVytheville.

Although the Colonels were outclassed in weight, they did not lose their fight- ing spirit, which was their main threat all season. The final score was 33-0 but the game was really not as un- even as the score appeared. Wytheville was one of the strongest teams encountered by the Colonels this season and the game was marked by the crashing line plunges of their hard- hitting backs.

The game was marked b strong offensive play by both team as both threatened to scod: on numer ous occasions. Both teams made touchdown that was called back oi account of penalties.

A-..,. , mm., . I A . . ATHLETIC NEWS 3 at William Fleming The history of football at William High School has been brief youth still holds sway over the school itself. A young school, however, may speak with a loud voice, if it pos- sesses the spirit of American youth. We find that Half Back fne blocking makes him tstanding back s p i r i t i n o u r s c h o o l a n d it speaks loud and strong in many departments. The s p i r i t o f t h e school is pictur- of the community, a spirit that -1 ies out growth, strength and achieve- Cflt. When we look back over the scores f the various football games, there is profound indication that our teams ave made only moderate records. ome of the readers of this article may e of the opinion that the score is the utstanding feature of a football game nd unless a team wins a greater per ent of the games played, the season ust be branded a failure. We must e reminded, however, that the great en of athletics and physical educa- ion brand the score as a small feature -of a game. We are more interested today in building personalities and -character than we are in compiling records. Records become property of scrapbooks and files, character and physical development become the back- bone of our nation. This year the Colonels won only two football games. Should we brand our season a failure, because We were not state champions? The experts would view the records from the standpoint of de- velopment. And it is from this viewpoint that we briefly discuss football at our high school. 'The game of football, in the minds of many people, is a very dangerous Way of accomplish-ing youth develop- L' YouNc, Full Back Frank is a line plunger like coaches dream of and was the .spark plug of the team ment. These people fail to realize that the boys who play football are pre- pared for the game, and are well pro- tected from the dangers which might otherwise prevail. , The important factor in developing the football team is conditioning the players. This factor is the prevention of accidents and injuries. A football team that is well conditioned has few casualties. We believe that if a team is well conditioned, well equipped and well directed, the achievements will be far greater than the propaganda of injuries. We must admit that the dangers of riding bicycles, exercising by use of roller skates and traveling by use of automobiles provide far more dangers than a football game. The characteristics of a good foot- ball team may be summed up in a fine spirit, enduring courage, and lasting Radford Game determination. The personnel of a team must possess these fine qualities before the team can hope to be success- ful. The lasting spirit of the boys of William Fleming, and the equally fine spirit and cooperation of the patrons, have made it possible for a young school to make an honorable appear- ance. Our school was fortunate in having the desired quality rather than the undesired quality. When the per- sonnel of the team and the board of directors demonstrates spirit, courage and determination, the outcome will be desirable. We must not forget that the parents of the players are to be commended for their untiring sports- manship, in connection with practice trips and backing in general. In connection with the development of character, I quote a paragraph from Percy D. Houghton: Sport is best carried on for sport's sake, but if you plan and aim and work to win, using everything that you have, the sport's Y 55 25 '54 2. zf'5I6 ii -z A K' fre g:-: gli .rf:'s-f 1 .-P Y 1 '1r:r 1E?Z-1.'2. .L - - ,- .f . -- ' -:::::1:-ar .

We SPENCER, Quarter Back Spence'.v kicking and end rum' 'won many game.: try to instill within our football teams these important factors. If our foot- ball teams in the near future acquire a top rank we may be rated an excep- tion, but that which will make our school an exception is the spirit of the people of this community. GIRLS' BASKET BALL Rocky Mt. 14-5 Fleming 20 In one of our hardest fought games of the season, we got revenge on the Rocky Mount sextette when we de- feated them on our court.

I ,...Q,.-- Bored of Education Holds Annual Meeting The Bored of Education held its annual meeting last night to discuss the present school problems. The necking problem is the most urgent problem facing them. Goshwhata High School students have pre- sented the Bored with a petition for more and larger corners in and around the school. There have been rumors that the'students may strike if they do not gain their objec- tive. The students demand larger corners as the present ones are inadequate for group wooing. Several complaints have been made to the Bored concerning the school cafeteria. One student declares he fished an ink bottle top, a piece of chalk, a portion of an un- good grapefruit rine and a cigarette stub from his 'fzupe. . Another declares he has a 3525.00 dental bill on account of the bis- cuits, while four other students are in the hospital having portions of an old leather shoe and muscilage removed from their stomachs. They ate the 'Kmorsals in a serving of spaghetti. The Bored stated that they would investigate the conditions in the cafeteria. They have reached no agreement, however, on the corner question. Battling Mystery is Unraveled by High School Boy Police Rrfsunze Playing with Paper Dolls as Care is Closed w1,. March 32 QA. C. PJ-The famous case of the disappearing ring, or who washed the bathtub, has finally been solved. A student of Goshwhata High School, Hugh Dunit, conducted a private investigation and solved the mystery. Three weeks ago Mrs. Huzzie Blowpuss walked into her bathroom and, seeing that someone had washed the bathtub, fainted from the shock. Immediately the police went to work on the most bathing case in the history of this town, since the case of Mae VVest, Gypsy Rose Lee and Sally Rand, or the story of the three'bears. Hugh Dunit stumbled and fell upon some clues that led to the arrest of Mr. Otto Gohome, one of Mrs. Blowpuss' new- est boarders. Mr. Gohome explained that, through-habit, he had washed the tub after taking his annual bath on Saturday night, Juvember 33. He was given a three-year suspended sentence and warned not to com- mit such a crime again. Colonels Capture Championship The Colonels of Goshwhata High School captured the 1938 county basket ball cham- pionship in a spectacular game with Foos- ville High School, Saturday.

Look at the front page of this paper. I am not criticizing the police force, I am criticizing the citizens themselves. They are responsible for such crimes as the Bathtub case and the Duller Brush killing. Such crimes have got to be stopped. Therefore, I think it is very im- portant that we impress upon our students and school children that they must not carry blackjacks, shotguns, large knives, nitroglycerine or lead pipes while in school. .i.Q1T1 Pre-Historic Skeleton Unearthetl Here By I-Iuon FULLABULL fl.
