activities. Stanley Garber was our class President, George Von Frank, our Vice-President, and Virginia Hiserman, our Secretary. A dramatic Club was formed, with a Junior Class member as Sec- retary. We had class members holding offices in a number of other clubs too. Mabel Sharpe made the debating team once more and won a great many debates in the county contests. George Von Frank was selected as Latin representative that year. Very soon after we entered school as Seniors in the fall of 1934, we were impressed with the fact that we had a position to fill. I think we have filled it very well. The Senior Class was organized in the early winter. Cordelia Mohler was chosen class President; Stanley Garber, Vice-President; George Von Frank, Secretary and Melvin Jennings, class Treasurer. We had in our class several star players on the athletic teams of our - school. Among these were Billy Bragg, Stanley Garber, and Sonny Gordon. In addition, Stanley Garber was captain of the boy’s basket- ball team and manager of the football team during his Senior year. Francis Conner was manager of the basketball team for 1935, and also President of the Monogram Club. Robert White acted as manager of the baseball team for the same year. Virginia Hiserman was captain of girl’s basketball; Mabel Sharpe, their manager. Others who were on the first team from our class were Elizabeth McClung, Sara Baker, Pauline Thacker, and M. V. Griffith. During this year these girls won practically all of the games played with other schools. Try-outs were held in the Reading and Spelling Club, of whch George Von Frank was President. He won first place in two of these try- outs. In the Public Speaking and Debating Club, of which Mabel Sharpe, a Senior Class member was Secretary, try-outs were also held. Mabel Sharpe, Elizabeth Fay Davies and Della Clark were chosen to represent the school in the debating contests in the county and state. The Dramatic Club was composed primarily of Seniors. The officers were all from thi s class. The President was Robert White; Secretary, Katherine Ross, and Treasurer, Cordelia Mohler. Plans were made for a Senior play entitled ““The Volunteer Wife,” which was given in the spring. The cast was as follows: Cordelia Mohler, Billy Bragg, Pauline Thacker, Robert White, Sara Baker, Mabel Sharpe, Stuart Sampson, and Hilda Holbert. Then came commencement. We found that Mabel Sharpe and George Von Frank were to make talks on class night. Mr. Jennings secured for us a prominent speaker from Charlottesville. And so we graduated. High School is now a memory—for most of us a happy one.

Senior Class Will We, the class of ’35, being of sound mind (?), sweet nature, and being possessed of many valuable and highly desirable traits, and belong- ings, hereby bequeath, hand over, bestow, or otherwise give the said traits and belongings to many envious lower classmen, in this our class will and testament. George Von Frank regretfully leaves his book satchel to the one and only Sleepy Snyder. To Evelyn Shumate, Jewell Webb leaves her solitude. Charlene Mattox leaves her passion for pretty clothes to Grace Chandler. To Dorothy Kennedy, Clementine Doyle leaves her silence. Katherine Ross, now having all the boy friends she can well take. care of, leaves her winning ways to Betty Gamble, in hopes that she will put them to good use. Dorothy Maxey leaves her dramatic ability to Helen Craig. Cordelia Mohler leaves her place as “guardian angel’ to Evelyn McGann. Jean McClung leaves her place as “class vamp” to Katherine Terrill. Mabel Sharpe hands over her love for public speaking to Edward Warner, With best wishes, Pat Menefee hands her cap and gown to Mary Nan Cevn Margie Lee Phipps hopes her freckles will be treated with much con- sideration by Margaret Dorrier, to whom these marks of beauty are left Pauline Thacker, being through with blushes forever, affectionately hands hers over to Frankie Huff. Agnes Buchanan leaves her love of history to Fil Hubbard. So that Wilson High will not miss her calm, serene manner, Anna Garber leaves it to Nancy Burton. The happy-go-lucky ways of Wilbur Ross are bestowed upon Cletus Pannell. Stanley Garber leaves his place as captain of the basketball team to Jimmy Hogg. We all know why the girls fall for Billy Bragg—who appoints as his successor, Ray Frasher. ; Sonny Gordon leaves his athletic ability to Sammy Gilmore. Robert White leaves his place as manager of the baseball team to David McLaughlin.
