You must understand that we were Freshmen and it was the first time we had been in the high school. There were thirty-nine of us from Jackson and Wenona Grammar Schools, and we completely filled Miss Bryant’s room. During the winter of 1926-1927 we lived a hard life—such a hard life that many stopped school. Those that survived the hardships entered Mr. Kimler’s room the next year as Sophomores. We had many things to look forward to as Sophs. First we had Mr. Jennings, the new principle; next a new I'nglish teacher, Mrs. Robinson; and the last but not least a lot of Freshmen to initiate. We were very conceited (as all Sophomores are) and thought we knew more than any one else. We worried the teachers and made life miserable for the Freshmen. In 1928 we moved up stairs, the boys going in Miss Plumb’s room and the girls in Miss Dickerson’s room. We felt a little more dig- nified as we were on the floor with the Seniors. In the spring of 1929 we gave a “tacky party for the Seniors in the High school gymnasium. Kemper Fitch’s orchestra provided music and we had a fine time. Everyone was dressed as “tacky” as possible and prizes were given to the tackiest looking boy and the tackiest looking girl. In September, 1929, we entered Mrs. Robinson’s room with all the dignity that seniors can have and settled down for a year of hard work. Life was rather monotonous until after Christmas, but then things began to change. The first of February saw us taking our mid- year examinations. On March 17th we presented ‘Here Comes Ara- bella,” a very attractive musical comedy. On March 21, the Juniors entertained us with a lovely party at the home of one of the members of their class. We are all looking forward with pleasure to our grad- uation in June.—F. Mc. R. Ten Years Later Crata| ILE seated at the window of my home in the quiet little town of Nowhere, I thought back over the good old days at Wilson High. I wondered what had become of the boys and girls of the class of 30. Suddenly my reverie was broken by the cry “Waynesboro News-Virginian. Latest news from Waynesboro.” DIAS. e274) 1 looked out and saw a newsboy and, having a natural desire to get the latest news from my native town, I bought a paper. Glancing over the first page I noticed several familiar names. Upon closer observation, I realized they were the names of my classmates in that famous class of ’30. I read the following: “Local Girl To Sing Here. After several vears abroad, Miss Gertrude Hannah will make first American appearance in Waynesboro.” Well did I remember Gertrude’s songs in ““Here Comes Arabella” our Senior play. The next column told of an Art Exhibit to be given by Harry Lough. Harry was the Art Editor of the WILSONIAN, our annual. “Prof. W. T. Coyner to conduct special class at Wilson High.” I read on and found that this class would be given for those who were interested in Shakes- peare’s plays. Oh Yes! Bill was always interested in Shakespeare. He would often sit up ‘til after midnight learning certain parts ot “Macbeth.” Some more interesting news was: “‘Miss Alice Kay to open Girls’ School.” I was glad to see this for Alice always wanted to be a teacher. Among the faculty members, | noticed the following familiar names; Miss Sarah Harman, expression, and Miss Essie Newman, French. It is my desire that Miss Kay’s school live a long and useful life. ‘Miss Margaret Mohler to be head of new Business Firm.” I know their firm will be a success, because Margaret was one of Mrs. Pace’s prize business pupils. Another interesting item was “Waynesboro Girl to be Miss Virginia in Nat- ional Beauty Cont est.” I knew at once that this, was Mabel Batten, who was voted the prettiest girl in the Senior Class. The next thing | read was “Little Boy Knocked Down by Hit-and-Run Driver. Man later caught and identified as Carl Norton. He was taken before Mrs. Robinson (Justice of the Peace) for trial. Mrs. Robinson began thus: ‘Knocking down that little boy was bad enough, but I can’t conceive of anybody going on and leaving him there on the ground.’ Then Carl, in his usual slow and deliberate way, replied: ‘Well, you see, Mrs. Robinson, I was too busy to stop. The case was promptly dismissed.” I next read, on the sporting page, “Wilson High Girls’ Basketball Team Winners of State Tourney.’”’ No wonder they won, for their coach was none other than Miss Agnes Stover. Stover will be remembered as a forward on the 1929-’30 team. “Local Boy Making Good as Guard on Professional Team.” Of course, this was Louis Culton, and well did I remember his hard fought defensive games for Wilson. In the column devoted to civic organizations | read “Russell to Head new Civic Club.” The Club President was none other than our Class President, Billy Russell, known for his fine leadership. In glancing over the Radio Program, I noticed another familiar name. The Metropolitan Opera Company was broadcasting a special program that night, and on the program I read “Miss Margaret Lovegrove will be heard in a number of French songs.’’ I know many fans tuned in to hear this famous singer. “Strange Accident Happens to Mr. Davis.’”’ It seems that Carl absentminded- ly drove his Nash over the bank of the river. Carl must still be under the in- Auence——— of love. In the Church Column I read: “Special Services to Start Monday. Rev. Jos. Garber to Preach.” Congratulations to Joe. He has certainly made a success. Whoopee! One of the many members of the Senicr class who hitched his wagon to a star has reached the star. In the space devoted to Aviation, I read: “Man Arrested by Chief of Aerial Police Kenneth Bartlette. The charges were driving a plane while drunk.” The good die young is surely a true statement. In the obituary column | saw that George Nease had died in the clutches of a vamp. We know that George died according to his wishes, as expressed in our Senior play. I feel sure that the vamp must have been Miss Ellen Rogers, our class vamp. “ Ds Moore; thought to have been driving Ford Roadster that went over mountain side. The car was coming around a bend, making 60, when it went over the mountain. The driver was never found, but the car was identified as belonging to J. D.” In the Society Column I read “Miss Charlotte Harner Hostess to S. P. C. A. Among those present were Misses Kathleen Barbour, and Jaqueline Bailey, and William Shirkey, and Louis Koogler. Animals in Waynesboro are said to be living an easy life as the result of the work done by this group. The next column to attract my attention was “All Questions on Love An- swered by Vivian Coyner.” I know Vivian is an expert on such questions, because she was voted the most in love girl in the class, and then “experience is the best teacher.” . Back on the Sports Page, I noticed a very.familiar name. “Edith Coyner to Drive in Roadster Class at State Fair.” has had plenty of experience in driving spirited horses any place you want to go—especially to school.—E. M. C. “Tebo” will surely win this class. She Climbing “Not at the heights but climbing.” Our motto used to.be, And now that we are finished We turn around to see The records bare or the records fair That were made by you and me. “Not at the heights but climbing,” Our motto e’er will be. “Not at the heights, but climbing,” In Life as we are here, And when we reach our present goal, The higher heights are clear. Then we'll strive upward, onward, Till those longed-for heights are near. “Not at the heights, but climbing,” We go on with never a fear. “Not at the heights but climbing,” And climbing will make us strong To carry our shares of Life’s burdens, To travel the pathway long, When friends are no longer ’round us To guide us and keep us from wrong. “Not at the heights but climbing,” For this is our climbing song.

We were very ( proud of ourselves because we had at last reached High School. We considered ourselves just a little more im- portant than we were, but the upper classmen with a few lectures and other things, soon showed us the error of our ways. The girls had Miss Bryant as teacher, and the boys, Mrs. Davies. The following September found us no longer de- spised Freshies, but high and mighty Sophomores. We had our beloved Mr. Kimler as teacher. We lost some of our members in the two years of hard work, but our number has been augmented by the entrance of a great many new-comers to Waynes- boro. We work hard, but we still find time to join in school activities. We have as our instructors Miss Allie Mae Dickerson for the girls, and Mr. John V. Fentress for the boys. Here’s to our next year’s Seniority! —K. B.

After passing through the halls a few times, and facing some of the upper-classmen, we were made to feel very small. The particular upper-classman that floored my ambition was Raymond Hunter. He stood six feet ten inches in his stock- ing feet, or at least that is the way he looked to me. He flung me into the Freshman room, and forthwith came thirty-five other boys to stay there the rest of the year. The girls landed in Miss Bryant’s room, clear across the hall from us. We soon got into the routine of the school program, and learned very shortly that the life in the High School would be very much as we ourselves made it. After a few days when we would be standing in the hall, an ugly Sophomore would approach and herd us into the basement. It is not necessary to put down in history what took’ place. Suffice to say, we shed our first coat of green and came out wiser and better Freshmen. At the mid-term examinations, we all made grades we were not ashamed of. After this, we presented a play “Which One Won.” Several weeks later, we held our Declamation Contest, in which Marie Kibler won the Girls’ first prize, and Vernon Kibler won fi rst prize for the boys. On September 16, we came back as Sophomores. There were about forty pupils in the class, and it is believed the same forty will carry on in the next two years of High School. eV kK.

As soon as the daily grind began, we started our Society. When time came for our annual play, we decided on ‘‘Mrs. Briggs of the Poultry Yard” and after careful thought, Mrs. Davies, our coach, chose the following cast: Mrs. Briggs, Marguerite Childress ; Jimmie Briggs, Harold Aldhizer; Ralph Briggs, Clem- mer Coyner; Virginia Lee, Mary Ann Dunlap; Daisy Henkel; Mr. Lee, Montague Scott ; Alviry, Mehitabell, and Mellisy, Katherine McCrary, Lorraine Yancey, and Hazel Coyner. Music was provided between the acts by Eleanor Frankhouser, who sawed away on her fiddle, and Josephine Barnette, who marched up and down the keys of the piano. Profits amounted to about $75. We have subscribed to Current Literature and a new equipment cabinet will be made for the Science classes, out of the play proceeds. ay 45) ro) Track Woodrow Wilson’s track team, although small in numbers, was quite effective in garner- ing points in two track meets of the 1930 season in which it was entered. Harry Lough, class ’30, was the outstanding star, not only of the school, but of all class B schools of the state. Entered May 3, 1930, in The Virginia Athletic and Literary League meet held at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, he set a new record for class B schools of the state in the running broad jump, winning first place, and his letter, by plowing through the atmosphere for a distance of 21 feet, 134 inches. Not only did Harry bring home the blue ribbon in this event, but he finished second in the 440-yard dash, and with practically no rest, turned around and took fourth in the 100-yard dash. On May 10th, Harry went to Harrisonburg for the Shenandoah Valley meet for high schools and starred as the individual point-getter of the affair, turning in first in the broad jump, 100-yard dash, 220-yard dash, 440-yard dash, and would probably have won the pole vault should he have been allowed to enter that event. His four firsts placed Woodrow Wilson third place in the meet. Too much credit cannot be given him for wonderful per- formances on the field and track. z Kenneth Bartlette, class 30, concentrated on the 8 80-yard run, and in both the Char- lottesville and Harrisonburg meets he placed in the preliminaries, failing by narrow margins to place in the finals. Thomas Beaty, ’31, entered the shot put and discus hurl at Charlottesville and, although he failed to place, exhibited promise of developing into a point winner by next year. In low hurdle practice after the Charlottesville meet he injured his knee and was unable to enter the Harrisonburg fray. 1 | | , ' ACTIWOWIES History of the Poe Literary Society adviser, put a new plan before the Society for consid- eration. The plan adopted stated that only those who wished to be in the Society should be there. The oth- ers were to leave, and have a study period at this time. This plan has proved very successful. Every member HE RO bape RAK Ye) SO CLR ae ties November the first in the Society room to aly, be organized for another year’s work. At this meeting, Mrs. Robinson, the Society has in the past year willingly done any work he has been asked to do. Many old members who left in the beginning applied for membership to the society. By a vote of the members, they have either admitted or rejected. Society pins were bought by the members, and have been the envy of the rest of the school. Dur- ing the year, many lively debates have been held. We hope that in the coming years the society will ever continue to put out good and helpful work. —V UC Poe Literary Society OFFICERS GACH SOI FOR ee oe. sca ee tals Par OD CROW IURT de RE Rea Ree eae a eR ee President ASSERT ib ed RB NUp ON, B.

Two program committees were appointed by the President. During the year these committees arranged plays, debates, readings, and reci- tations. Every member of the Society bought one of our beautiful pins. There were twelve new members voted into the Society. Four of the members went out for Reading, two for Public Speaking, and two for the debating con- CES. The Society is to continue until the end of school with all kinds of programs.

In former years, all Freshmen have automatically become members of the Society. This year a new method of organization was perfected, and it made a bit of a change with we Freshies. Members are now initiated, and those who enter late in the year must be invited by the Society before they may become members . This year’s Society organized shortly after school opened, and elected officers at the first meeting. At the next meeting, dues were collected and pins were decided upon. The Society has staged divers very good programs, musical as well as literary, and the Freshmen are ex- tremely fortunate in having so much fine talent in their midst. It is the hope of the Kimler Society of 1930 that the Society which will be formed next year will carry on with the splendid ideals and fine spirit the newly organized Society has shown this year.

So many students became members that it was necessary to hold the meetings in the high school audi- torium rather than in the room used heretofore. Officers were elected for the year, and cheer-lead- ers were appointed. Dues and season ticket prices were also decided upon, and other questions settled. Meetings were held often until athletics got into full sway, when impromptu “pep” meetings were held before each important game to practice yells. The Association has taken in nearly $250 in dues and admissions to games, and the money left in the treasury, after all expenses have been paid, including baseball and basketball uniforms, and other needed equipment, will amount to nearly $150. Next year’s Association will have to go far to beat that record ! eee OULD NPD er rere ee Nee ea ag eek eh Bending s Wao yee bea President SST VERT LL.

This year’s party took the form of a St. Patrick party, held in the home of Mrs. Hall, in Basic Heights. The decorations were in keeping with “Ould Erin,” as were the de- licious refreshments of ice-cream, cake, and candy. Punch was “‘on tap” throughout the evening. Many very interesting games were played. Miss Elsie Straughan received the prize for the quaintest paper cap, while Carl Norton was voted to have the most appropriate. Harry Lough was unanimously chosen as the most ardent lover. The games and dancing were enjoyed until a late hour, when the party broke up. The Seniors wish to thank the Juniors for the excellent time enjoyed by all, Those attending, besides members of the two classes, were: Professor and Mrs. R. C. Jennings, Mrs. M. A. Robinson, and Miss Allie Mae Dickerson. —+ HERE COMES ARABELLA | Review of the Senior Play ILSON HIGH has done it again. The Senior play, “Here Comes Arabella,’ presented Monday afternoon and_ night (March 17), was one of the best amateur performances given in Waynesboro in many years. The large crowd that turned out for the annual production heartily enjoyed the clever mus- ical comedy, and the commendations were many and pleasing. Nearly $200 was taken in at the ticket office, and the crowds for both matineé and evening performances filled the house to capacity. The best part of the whole thing is that the whole play was put on in one week. Under the direction of Miss Martha Carleton, of Bristol, Tenn., the re- hearsals went ahead with speed and at the dress rehearsal Saturday before the play, the entire cast was ready to act their parts to perfection. Monday afternoon’s audience was made up almost entirely of school children, who thoroughly enjoyed the performance. It was at night, however, that the players really shone. Playing to a full house, they threw themselves into their parts heart and soul, and the play brought down the house. Harry Lough, playing the part of “Bob Adair,” a struggling young artist, gave an excellent performance. His acting was superb, and more than one damsel’s heart fluttered when she heard him sing “Pretty Little Stranger,” and “Just Suppose” with the leading lady. Harry proved to be just the right type for a musical comedy, as his peppy dancing with the three flappers in ‘Follow Me Around” showed. Misses Ellen Rogers, Alice Kay, and Muriel Pickford were excellent in the parts of the three flappers, Henrietta, Imogene, and Chrystabel. They showed real talent and a great deal of dancing ability. The comedians, who were the hit of the show, were Raymond Hunter, and Misses Essie Newman and Sarah Harman as Bob’s uncle and aunts, Josh, Pru, and Debby. They quite convulsed the audience with their droll speeches and clever acting. They had only to appear to send everyone into gales of laughter. The Ladies’ Aid Society added a bit of local color to the play. The parts of Mesdames Lurkins, Meeks, and Waddles were well taken by Misses Margaret Lovegrove, Agnes Stover, and Charlotte Harner. Their singing of “The Ladies’ Aid” was one of the high lights of the show. It is hard to realize that anyone could be so out-of-tune and still be funny. 30b’s chums, Sydney Hopewell, and Jack and Bill, played by Charles Houff, George Nease, and Louis Culton, gave fine performances. They put over some very good comedy in their singing of “I Wanta Die in the Clutches of a Vamp.” Gerald Duffy, in the role of Mr. A. Luvinski, looked, talked, and acted the part of the typical Jewish theatrical manager, who, as Aunt Debby said, “talked too much with his hands.” Last, but for from least is Arbella, the leading lady, played by Miss Gertrude Hannah. Members of the audience considered it no wonder that Mr. Luvinsk1 offered her $5,000 a week to appear in Sydney Hopewell’s play. Her duets with Bob were very pretty, and the audience heartily applauded their singing. Too much cannot be said in praise of the choruses, three of which were chosen from the Juniors and Sophomores. The “Little Grandmother” chorus made up of Freshmen, gave an excellent take off of the Ladies’ Aid. Quite the best part-of the choruses was the Robin Redbreast chorus, taken from the first and second grades. These tots did every bit as well as the older girls, and they re- ceived a storm of applause. Little Martha Kibler, who sang a solo of ‘Robin Redbreast,’ came in for her share of the hearty applause accorded the youthful “chorus girls.” A vote of thanks has been extended to Miss Frances Butler, who accom- panied the singing and dancing, and to Mrs. M. A. Robinson, the Senior adviser. Their help in putting the play over was greatly appreciated, and the Seniors are deeply grateful. —Waynesboro News-Virginian. Memories of W ilson Success, yes, that’s what they call it. To strive, to succeed, and to gain. This was our goal, through all the years And we hope we've not striven in vain. The time of our school life seems brief, Now that those school days are o’er ; And we see the mistakes which we made And think they might have been more. Those mistakes to us then seemed great, For our feet knew not the way; But now that we’ve grown in knowledge, They seemed to usher a new day. A band of students more united I think you ne’er will see, For we’ve striven together in all things, And friends we will ever be. Our teachers have been faithful leaders, In all we've attempted and done; Faithful when we have failed them, And faithful when we have won. They’ve been to us more than teachers, They’ve been real companions, true. And in thinking of dear old Wilson, May they be remembered too. In leaving our dear old Wilson, Whose halls holds memories dear, May we always be ready to boast our school To people afar and near. Now Father Time rolls round the hour A gloruious new strength we know, But in leaving you we’ll be proud to say, We've learned to master our every foe. —SARAH HARMAN. HYOGNYN3HS AYMA4LV9 AT IHILIET ICS History of Athletics THLETICS in Wilson High School in the past year have been very successful. The boys’ basketball team won the District title, and the track team is coming through with flying colors. At the time the Annual goes to press the baseball team, after a slow start, is winning nearly every game. Basketball has interested the school more than any other sport this year. The most thrilling game of the season was that with V. S. D. B. for the hard-fought title game. After losing two to V. S. D. B. in earlier tilts, Wilson came to the fore, and with “wim, wigor, and wi- tality’ almost unbelievable, overwhelmed the strong Staunton team VNKARPAGS Four members of last year’s first string, and the addition of sev- eral valuable players made Wilson’s team an extremely formidable one. Track is also interesting the school at present. Lough and Bart- lette make up the team, and they have held their own consistently in all of the practice meets held. They expect to “do noble” in the meet at Charlottesville. Baseball is becoming more exciting with every game. Several members of last year’s team are back, and the new players are all worthy to be called ‘““Wilson’s Baseball Team.” The Girls’ Basketball Team was unfortunate in the loss of so many first team players by graduation last year. However, they over- came that handicap as much as could be expected, and made a very good showing. As for the Monogram Club—a great many more players belong than are on the list. These are members of the baseball and track teams, whose letters have not as yet been awarded. od G2 AEA EISEN) RR aM BXe yh 007 Bote ae Woe cas Mo a iG, ety | Cae ee ee Forward ee Ven CO CSE ee ee Tee og Ree Meee, Se he cen Sc xh MMe oie aca ons Forward RUA VION Dn ET UN T ERuat ees Asien ete “yey Syd tape OO CE Center NRG we Ug amd CLI CP een eee A ee EN Reg oie Dio eT bin aeons Guard Coe Wan ne AUN AA ban ee Thc NWR at nu ann canes, aS Gee seats apele ia ane Guard SUBSDELUALEHS GEORGE NEASE Owen Day KEMPER KIBER JACK BAYLOR COACHES Pror.

Many printers do as good work as we, and a few do better, perhaps. But those that do better, charge a great deal more. We believe we are the second largest printers of annuals in Virginia. We know that year after year we print the same books, which indicates that our customers like our work. Fur- thermore we usually do any new annual that is put out in our territory, which indicates that our work is appre- ciated where we are best known. We always strive to carry out intelligently and in good taste the theme a staff selects. ‘Intelligence,’ “good taste,” what wonderful words are these when applied to an annual. They mean that the printer is to enter into the spirit of the work and transfer to the printed page the vision of beauty pictured in the mind of the editor. They mean that he is to guard the staff against the visionary, the gaudy, and the need- lessly expensive, by constructive and conscientious advice.
